HI NO1 II SIDE.
UNWILLING TO BPEAE OUT.
The retail merchants and small business men
Of the North Side wero called upon by Tn1B-
uNE reporter Yesterday for the purpose Of as
certaining their opinion regarding the dis
graceful doings Of the Hesing mob at
the meeting. Of merchants at Farwell
Hall. But few Of those interviewed had
been to the meeting themselves, and
only knew what they had read in the papers.
Most of the Germans had read nothing but the
garbled account in the iSlaats-Ze1tung, which
makes it appear that the meeting was Know
Nothing gathering. in which nothing but ha-
ranges against the Foreigners we're uttered aud
that Hesing merely came there by invitation Of
several merchants, and only wanted to defend
himself when his character was attacked. Stlll,
almost every one was Of the opinion that Hesing
had no business to be at the meeting, and that
his prospects had been greatly damaged by Lis
going there with such disreputable crowd.
There il a great reluctance on the part OF the
North Side merchants to. give their
opinion on the political situation, On
account OF their fear Of being
par1isans, the saloon-keepers, ETC., who ara
among their best customers, would ipjuIe their
business as much az they could Hence they
preferred to keep their opinions to themselves,
and put in their votes Tuesday as they saw fit.
From all that can be ascertained there is,
however, but little doubt that the German 1ner-
chants and small business men on the North
8ide are about two-thlTds against HesiEg, while
the saloon-keepers and free-lunchers a1e almost
q unit in bis favor. The American and Irish
business men on the North Side are almost unan-
imouzly opposed to lIr. Hesing, still
they prefer to take no Actiye
part in the election, because it might
influence their German customers against them.
They will, however, turn ont to vote, and they
state thas they will give their employees chance
to vote also. The Irish saloon-keepsrs and their
adherents work very assiduouAly and energetic
ally for Mr. Keeley, and they believe TINT he can
be elected They are dead asain.t Hesing, but
are divided on the rest Of the ticket. There can
be but little doubt, from all that coald be learn-
cd, that Hesing's chances on the North Side have
been growing beautifully less during the last two
weeks, and that the action OF his mob at the
merchants meeting has killed him beyond re-
oemption.

the well-koown capitalist, whose Office Is located
On the corner OF Peoria aud Madison streets, said
TINT he had been . resident OF Chicago for forty
years, but had never heard Of such scene as
was witnessed at tha Farwell Hall meeting. His
health had recently been quito precarious, thus
preventing him from taking the active part in
politics which he had once takeo, but his interest
in local affairs was still undm1Dished. He had in-
tended to go to the meeting, because ho felt
that every god citizen ought to come
forward aud make his sentiments known and
his ininence felt tor good local government But
he had not been able to so. Nevertheless, he.
had read the reports in the morning pape1a, and
he would say that the attempt Of the Hesing
crowd to break up the meeting was . most out
rageous proceeding. Men had been in his Office
that morning who had not been active in politics,
but who expressed the strongest dlsapp1obation
at the malicious and illegal invasion OF that
meeting OF respectable citlZeus, and they had
ono and all declared their intention Of devoting
all their energies to the attainment OF the euo-
cees Of the Republican party q the pola.

this revelation OF disgracetul rowdyism- Judg-

Of Alien. Keith j. Co., thus expressed himself !:
If the reports in the papers are true think it

tion. Heretofore I have not taken much inter-
est In the election but intend to 70 to the polls

scale Of remuneration which no county in.
situations are willing or able to undertake,
and also because there IL required for the
proper training of children q quality of de
votion which cannot be bought at any
price.
1t 10 for the latter reason that We are
specially pleased with this bill, providing
as it does, in its second sectlon, that the
ofhcials charged with the support Of pau
per children in every county Of this State,
shall, before the fret of next January, re-
move all children between the aees speci.
ned, from the almshousee, aud place them
either in private families or wherever prac-
ticabIe, in asylums controlled by persons
OF the same religious faith as the parents
of the children. Under this law, Catholic
children now in the Kings County MUIR
sery, will. we suppose, be placed in the
Catholic Orphan Asy lums, or in the Indus
trial School, and the Protestsnts confided
to the Home for Destitute Children, or
other Protestant asylnms. The Westches
ter Casholic Protectory will open it's doors
fer many of those now kept at RandalPs
Island, and the Protestant asy Inns receive
others. Some, no doubt, will be apprentice
ed to trades, or placed on farms, but
their religious faith, by placing them with
those holding the same as the parents is
uncertain. No doubt, even in the case of
asylums, there is still left loophole in
that phrase, " wherever practicable"
through which what the Illustrated Christ
ian Weekly calls f." the Judgment of the
local authorities" might lind an opportuni-
ty to evade the intent and meaning of the
law. But as it stands it is q just and hu-
man measure, and one which should receive
the commentator of all fair minded men.

A Visit to Now Guinea.

Among the few portions of the earth
which have not yet been explored by Eu-
ropeans is the interior of Papuas, or New
Guinea. This Island, which lies north of
Australia, and is about 400 miles long by
300 broad, has hitherto been a terra incogni
ia so far as it's interior was concerned. But ON
25th of May, 1872, captain j. A. Lawson
set forth from Sydney to explore New G ui-
nea, On the 22d of June he landed on the
coast, and from that time until February
of the next year, he was engaged in ira
versipg the interior He was pleased with
the natives, whom he found to be indus
trious, clever, cleanly, honest, truthful,
kind and afectionate to their wives. In
deed, 1t seems very great pity that q
community having all these virtues should
not be in some way preserved from the de-
graduation which is sure to be their lot as
soon as white men begin to come among
them. Captain Lawson was received with
great kindness he obtained the services of
two native guides, who spoke English,
French, Dutch, Portuguese aud various
Malayan dialects, and with these and his
three servants he started on his tour of
discovery. At the end of six days he
crossed the foot of a great range OF noun
talns, which rose to the height of ID 600 feet,
and reached a village called Burtemmy
Tara. The inhabitants were intelligent !;
many of them could speak Dutch they
had flocks of cattle and goats, herds OF swine
huu HcsLS OF IOWIs, anu cultivated malZS
and rice. From this point Captain Lawson
| travelled for eight days through n fne
country, with wooded hills and fertile
plains, abounding in deer. Then he
reached magnificent lake, seventy miles
long, dotted with numerous islands covered
with tropical vegetation. To the north of
this lake was range of hills, and having
reached the summit of these, Captain Law
son saw before him a volcanic region of
seventy miles in extent, full of crater lakes
and volcanoes, extinct and active. The
highest of these is one which Captain Law
son called Mount Hercules, and which, he
says, rises 80 7S3 feet above the sea. AS
this is 9. 7SE feet higher than Mt. Everest,
the highest mountain yet known, it may
be surmised that something was wrong in
Captain Lawson's angles He tried to
reach its summit, but he succeeded only in
attaining the height of 25,3l4 feet AS
this is nearly 10, 600 feet higher than the
top of Mt. Blanc, he should have felt salts
fed. Leaving the moutains, he pushed on
towards the north until he reached village
only thirty or forty miles from the north
ern coast. Here he unfortunately had
a Misunderstanding with the natives which
resulted in fight. One of the natives
was killed, three others were wounded, and
Captain Lawson and his party beat u re-
treat back to the southern coast. HIS
book is very we'll written, but one has the
suspicion that the author has drawn the
long bow occasionally.

catholic RevieW.)


A bill has passed the Legislature of New
York, and been signed by Governor Til
den, which will have important bearings on
the future of those unfortunate children
who, under past administrations, have been
consigned to the various almshouses of
the State, and there left to grow up in ig-
norance, or, worse still, in hatred of the
faith in which they were baptized. This
bill provides that, after the first of Jan uary
1876, no magistrate shall be permitted to
commit any child between the ages of
three and sixteen as vagrant, rtruant, or
disorderly, to any county poor house in
this State. And no county officers are
allowed to send any such child to any poor
house, unless the child be idiotic, or 80 de-
fective, diseased or deformed as to make
it unfit to be received in a family. They
are, in such cases, required to place them
in orphan asylums, or other charitable or
reformatOry Institutions.
The object of this feature of the bill is,
undoubtedly, that which the State Board
of Charities was aiming to effect last win
ter. They desired to remove all pauper
children whom it might be possible to res
cue from the confirmed pauperism sure to
be the result of poor house life during child
hood, from the care of the degraded and
vicious nurses, Themselves paupeTs, to
whom they have been hitherto consigned.
No one who has any knowledge of what
pauper nursing 10, either for the adult sick,
or for helpless children, need be told that
the evil which this section of the bill seeks
to remedy, is frightful in it's character.
The children become vicious before they
know any difference between vice and vir-
tue their minds and their bodies are alike
polluted, and few years in the poor house
renders them unfit for any other habitation.
Nor is the system of paid nurses very
much better, for the reason that skilled
nurses can seldom be obtained except on a
