Yesterday afternoon n handsome
woman of middle age entered the Office
of John McLosinan, the overseer of
the poor of Newark, and asked for
bread tickets. Her appearance was in
such striking contrast with the habitual
dependents upon the city that inquiry
was made concerning her condition. 1t
was found that the woman's husband
had been a commission merchant in
that city, and just before the great fire
in Chicago had invested all his capital
in business in that city. All of his
property was swept away by the fire,
and the family have since passed
through every stage of poverty until
now they are reduced to extreme desti-
tuition. The eldest daughter, n hand
some and accomplished girl, has vitinly
sought employment in teaching music
in Brooklyn, and the father is sick and
helpless. Soon after this applicant left
the almshouse, another of re-
fined manners appeared and also asked
for bread tickets. 1t was learned that
she is the mother of five children, the
eldest of whom is only II years of age.
A little more than three years ago the
family resided in n fashionable neigh
borhood in this city, and the mother
was a leader in her circle of society.
The husband went down with the wreck
of an insurance company.

A few years ago suits were common

John G. Fremont for his connection
with the issue or sale of certain railroad
bonds, in which the French authorities
discovered evidence of ''crookedness."
Now Mrs. Fremont t"Jesse'') writes
from Paris that the trial of these cases
of alleged conspiracy OF fraud have re-
suited in the complete exoneration of
the General from all blame or response
bility in the matter. General Fremont's
friends in this country would find it
difficult to doubt his personal integrity
in business transactions,

SATURDAY evening Gen. James
Shields, the hero of Cerro Gordo,
and one OF the most gallant Union
officers of the lata war, was given a
reception by the people of Chicago,
irrespective Of party or nationality,
at the Palmer House. The most
notable people Of that city, civil and
military, turned out to do honor to
the man whom o Democratic Con-
gress recently sat upon in order to
give preferment to COME derate how
left this country rather than submit
to the conditions which followed his
defeat. This reception to the gallant
Union general, following so closely
that event, is merite1 rebuked to
the men in Congress responsible for
such an act, and will be repeated
wherever Gen. Shields may visit.

contrary to law. Witnesses were

The feat Of William Tell in shoot
ing on apple from the head Of his
son, though at the time serving .
noble purpose, is at the present time
working havoc, and though tho de-
struction is principally confined to
fools who consent to play the part Of
the boy, innocent parties are also
sufferers. Only . few weeks since .
young actress was shot to death by
another foolhardy woman in thea
ter in Providence, while engaged in
shooting an apple from the head Of
her victim. Friday another fatality
ensued from the same feat, this time
the victim being little boy who
was exploring the outside of cir
Gus tent. 1t is depraved public taste
which makes such exhibitions posi-
BILE, for if people did not pay to see
them they would soon % discontin-
ued. But as this is 50, the law
should step in and put a stop to ex-
hibitions which not only endanger
the lives of those who participate,
but others who happen to be in their
vicinity.
