The Sun says the public is spared a
great mass of testimony that has been
collected for the great trial by the dis
covery that there is another live Theo-
dore Tilton. That he has been dis
covered to be the Tilton of the hotel
scrapes at Albany. Conn, The story
grew thrilling as it waxed more damag-
lug, and the climax was capped by find
ing in the Supreme Court the record of
Theodore Tilton's divorce from his
wife in 1871, but the name of bis wife
was Annie +. Tilton. This spoiled
everything, and close inquiry found

The Brooklyn Argus publishes a long

it is now known that she is an illegiti-

Ann McDermott. About twenty years
ago father and daughter lived in a street
called Kelsey's alley, from whence the
child was taken to the Orphan Asylum,
the mother being dead. 1t is believed
the Bessie lately living with the Tilton

who has recently gone into the pros

mines, which give promise of being
valuable, in the south end OF Eugene
Mountain, some six or eight miles from
Mill City. He has discovered several
lodges, one of which carries an un-
limited quantity of ore, the richness of
which he has not yet afcertained in
consequence Of the absence of David
Van Lennep, who attends to the ASSAY
office at the Humboldt Reduction
Works. He says if the ore is rich
enough to pay there is enough of it in
sight to make a number of millionaires.
Specimens of the ore exhibited by Dun
bar at the depot last evening contain a
high percentage of base metals, prin-
cipally lead and anthony, and may be
rich in silver.

Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan, as
well as New York and other States, are
turning their attention to the treatment
OF pauper children, and among tnsm all
vast amount of valuable information
is received. We have learned the fact
that in this, state poor-housss are not
the proper places for destitute children,
or even adults. There are ways to make
paupers producers. and one Of these ways
is to keep the former apart The same
is true Of every class of persons depend
ent upon or supported by the State.
Just compare the expense of our prison
system with that of other States. While
it costs New York about 100000 year
to run its three prisons, the prisons in
Michigon, Illinois, Maine, Connecticut
and few other StateR, we believe, are
self-supporting. With work in these
States there ia also economy, cleanliness,
education, health, good food, and all the
comforts that person ought to afford.
