1870 and 1874, he would have been
perhaps inclined to advocate his
scheme FOR abolishing restitution with
more than usual ardor.
Considering the enormous wealth of
this country. it is somewh hat depress-
ing TO read that on the lst of January
last year there were S32,370 paupers
in receipt of parochial relief through
out England. When figures spread to
such dimensions they are not apt to
convey any vivid idea of the facts
which they express. If we compare
the number of paupers with the num-
Der of people in the country, we shall
however, arrive at a much clearer no
ton of the enormous amount of power
ty that eats like canker in the heart
of the richest community in the world.
Viewed in this light. we find, for ex-
ample, that out of every thousand per-
sons IL England, 1868 are paupers.
More nan 3 l-2 per centum of the po-
pulation are thus dependent on their
neighbors for subsistence which they
do not earn for themselves.
The return does not show what pro-
portion the voluntary bears to invol-
untary pauperlsm, or how many of the
1876 per Thousand are unable and how
many are unwilling to earn their own
livelihood.

An Outburst of Missouri Gratitude and Praise
to Minnesota.

From the 81 Louis G,Obe-Democrat q
Thanks, Minnesota You have done
what Missouri could have done-but,
TO her shame, did not dO-ten years
ago. The entire country owes your
citizens its gratitude for the cXtraor-
binary spirit displayed in pursuing the
perpetrators of the atrOciOus bank rob-
berry at Northield-a pursuit which
eliminated in the practical eXtermina-
ton of the worst band of brigandS ev-
er organized in America. There seems
now to be no doubt that Bill Caldwell,
Charley Pitts and Clel Miller are
killed; that the three 1Oungers are
badly wounded, and two of them, per-
haps, mOrtally. The James boys alone,
have escaped, but under such circum
stances as TO preclude the belief that
they will maintain their liberty.
Breaking up this powerful and danger
Gus gang of outlaws is the most impOr-
tant event which has happened in the
criminal history of the country. Their
deeds have been those of blood and
pillage, and there his been no safety
for property nor life where they lurked.
The names of Younger and James have
been Il terror to good people every
where. No Dick Turpin ever created
more dread than did these audacious
r0ugh-Tiders. Now that they have
been Squelched. we hope TO enjoy a
brief respite from cowardly bank rob-
E berries, murderouS attacks on express
7 trains. and the riding of stage coaches
and mail bags. In the meantime, the
country should not forget TO thank the
bold MinneSOtianS who hunted the
I bandits 10 their cover and closed in
upon them with such satisfactory re-
suits.

A View Peril for Aeronants.

AT London, ON the 23d ultimo, Mr.. j.
Morton, the aeronaut, accompanied by
Mr.. Tanner, made a most successful
ascent, and soon attained an altitude
of 5000 feet, at which height they
passed over the east of London into
Kent, crossing the Thames no less than
three times. Upon arriving near Eft
ham they descended in large meadow,
and were just in the act of letting off
the gas when a tremendous believing
was heard, and on looking in the di-
Tection whence the sound proceeded. a
large bull was seen rushing wildly to-
wards them. Mr.. Tanner, fully real
iZing the danger of the situation, with
great presence of mind Immediately
seized the two remaining bags of bal
last, and threw them bodily out of the
car. The balloon rose, but only just
in time to escape the horns of the in
furiated animal, who, upon seeing the
balloon suspended over him, turned
his attention to the bags Of sand, the
contents of which he soon scattered III
all directions. In his attack his horns
came in contact with the grapnel rope,
and the jerk releasing the grapnel set
the balloon free, but at the same time
threw Mr.. Morton, who was attending
to the rope, out of the car. Fortunate
ly, he succeeded in clutching the net
ting, and, with Mr.. Tanners assist
ance. was hauled into the balloon be-
fore it had assembled many hundred
feet. The aeronauts sailed away for
about mile, when they found safe
haven.

ing to witness. Our business men are

They feel that we have touched bot

stored. Values have ceased to shrink,
and there is a general tendency to
slight advances. Country merchants
having sold out from top to bottom,
and cleared the corners, are coming in
for fresh stocks. This is remarkable
and the more encouraging because
presidential year is proverbially dull
for business, and this year we lack
our exposition, and there is an i'm
mense travel to the Centennial. Our

considerable number of our prominent
men in business affairs, and the gem
eral expression was that there was a
marked and happy change for the bet
ter.
