Hereditary Crime.

At a recent meeting OF the Charities
Aid Association of New York, DR..
Harris read some remarkable stats
ties supposed to relate TO hereditary
disposition to crime, but really show
ing that like conditions produce like
results. His attention having been
called to a county in New York in
which the proportion of crime and
poverty to the entire population was
extraordinarily great. there being
about one criminal or pauper to every
ten inhabitants, he set about inyesti-
eating the cause of this state of affairs.
He found that seventy years ago a
child having no other name than
Margaret was a vagrant about the To-
cality. There was no almshouse, and
the girl lived on the gifts of her neigh
bors, never being educated and never
having home She gave birth to
children, who became paupers like
herself. and at the present time nine
hundred descendants of the iriendless
woman can be traced. OF this progeny
two hundred are recorded as erimi-
nails, and large number as idiots,
lunatics and drunkards. In one gem
Grafton there were twenty children.
three of whom died young. OF the
others, nine were sent to State prisons
for aggregate terms of fifty years, ant
the rest were constant inmates of peni-
tentiaries, jails and almhouses.
This criminal and pauper record,
remarks the Philadelphia Ledger, is
ascribed to hereditary disposition, but
society can not release itself from re
sponsibility in the matter by any such
explanation. Hereditability was pos
sibly one of the influences brought to
bear upon the descendants of the
friendless Margaret, but it can not Re
considered the sole cause of the crime
and poverty of her descendants until
it has been shown that those who have
been educated. who were taught trades
and encouraged to build up homes for
themselves, have fallen away from up
right industry and have gone back to
pauperism and crime As the record
stands, it simply shows the terrible
responsibility resting upon society to
see that the pauper Margarets do not
bring up their children In vice and
ignorance, and to see that these waits
are armed against any hereditary dis
position they may have to become
paupers or criminals.

As the celebrated French physician,
Desmoulins, lay on his death bed. he
was visited aud almost constantly sur
rounded by the most distinguished
medical men of Paris, as well as other
prominent citizens of the metropolis.
Great were the lamentations of all at
the loss about to be sustained by the
profession, in the death of one they
regarded as its greatest ornament: but
Desmoulins spoke cheerfully to his
practitioners, assuring them that he
had left behind three physicians much
greater than himself Each of the
doctors hoping that his own name
would be called. inquired anxiously
who was sufficiently illustrious to sur
pass the immortal Desmoulins. With
great distinctness the dying man an
swered, They are Water, Exercise,

and the third moderately. Follow

Faint streaks of purple soon blush

out from above the horizon, and

diamonds. In a few seconds the
everlasting gates of morning were
thrown open. and tho lord of day,

amazement, when / am told that in

pike County, India ma.

An interesting liquor case was
tried at Petersburg last week, in
which 100 witnesses were required
to attend. The Press gives the
following account of it: Orwell is
temperance town of about 200
population. Saloons have been
forced upon the people against the
wishes of the community for sever
al years. About two years ago
three of the citizens bought out
one saloon. The proprietor came
to them and told them he was sick
of the business; if they would buy
him out he would quit the business
forever and be opposed to it. They
did SO, and TO day he is one of the
strongest temperance men they
have. The citizens of Orwell have
repeatedly employed lawyers and
defeated applications for license
before the County Commissioners
to sell whisky under the Baxter
law. The truth is no man can get
anything but government license
in that place. About year ago
John McCarty, detestable saloon
keeper, who shot and killed man
about three years ago, started q
saloon in Orwell under a govern
ment license. Last summer it was
accidentally or providentially de
stroyed by fire. He afterward
started another. On the night of
the 18th of December, 1874, this
last saloon was broken into, and
all the whisky and other liquors
destroyed. The affidavit charged
ten men with being guilty of the
riot, and the jury found them guilty,
and each was fined 81.

THE PALLADIUM
WEDNESDAY. FEB. II. 1875.
The early indian trader had two


The early indian trader had two
ma, ked pendants. One was the
marrying of squaws. to whom he
didn't hold until death did them
part, the other the acquiring of
real property, to which he did hold,
etc. To his white heirs the latter
trait was as admirable as the other
was troublesom. The realty would
descend. so would the papoose of
mixed blood, and il often becams a
question as to whether the white
man or the red man should. like
the righteous, inherit the land.
To the long history of litigation
arising in this way is added re
cent case in Kansas City, Missouri.
The half breeds won. Their claim
is set forth in the favorable decis
ion of the Judge, from which we
quote: THE main facts in dispute
was as to the marriage of ellis
with an Indian woman named Kah
kotoqua, daughter of chief of
the Pinonkeshows. ellis, it seems,
had trading post at the james
foi k of the White river, among the
Delawares, tribe of Indians, and
had successfully two wives who
were Delawares, and acknowledged
two children of these wives. About
the year 1929 90 he proposed to
Laharsh to marry his daughter,
Kahkotoqua, and employed man
named Baptisie Peoria to negotiate
marriage Laharsh was then living
on Cowskin creek. in the Indian
country. The negotiation was ac--
cepted, and ellis returned with
the woman. The mother of the
pllintiff was the offspring of that
cohabitation or marriage 1t was
the Indian custom to arrange con-
tracts of marriage with the parents,
and which were dissolvable at the
option of the parties" Gillis had
left his landed property to niece,
and she, dying, had bequeathed it
to Kansas City, which is now likely
to he dispossessed by the litigious
half breed.
