The Fresh-Air Mission.

There arc thousands of poor people in
New York city whose lives, during such
cheated terms" as that We now are ex-
periencing, are a prolonged agony. In
their sitting close and overcrowded
rooms the air, once thoroughly heated,
does not readily change, and the narrow
streets and alleys, shut in by tall build
ings, become like furnaces beneath the
fierce glare of the MONDAY sun. The
days are terrible; but the nights, when
men, women, and children are packed in
to the small apartments, are worse. We
have heard even respectable mechanics,
earning three or four dollars day, and
able to live in tolerably roomy quarters,
say that they have again and again pass
ed the night, with their families, in the
street or on the housetop, in order to get
little relief from the insufferable heat of
their rooms. If this be true of the bet.
ter class of tenemcnt-hou dodgers, we
can imagine how dreadful must be the
sufferings Of those who are compelled to
live in far less favorable localities.
1t was for the sake of the suffering
children of these people that plan was
set ON foot few years ago, by the mana
gers of one of the leading dailies, to give
them an occasional change of air, and a
glimpse of the outer world of which
many of them were pathetically igno-
rant. At very moderate cost, hundreds
of poor, sickly children were taken every
week to some pleasant place near the
city, where they spent the day in such
enjoyment as they had never known be-
fore, and with decided benefit, brief as
was their stay, to their health.
A variation from this simp .plan has
been undertaken this year, under the d.
rection IF the managers of Tho Ecening
Post. 1t Consists in the finding of free
board and lodging in farmers homes for
week or two for sick children. The en-
terprise has beeu placed under the charge
of the Rev. Mr.. Parsons, gentlema =?
who has hsd much experience in prov.d-
ing poor children with homes.
Last week carload of these children,
fifty -four in number, were despatched }
Walton, a village in Delaware Coup ",
about 175 miles from New York. The
fair of each for the round trip was but
$2.53, so that, as there are no other ex-
penses, they will have for that small eum
two blissful weeks of wholesome country
life. The benefits of even 80 brief trip
have been shown, by the experience Of
last year in connection with the May
flower Mission of Brooklyn, to be in many
cases surprisingly great. DR.. White, su-
periutendent of that Mission, says that
the delicate children who went with Mr..
Parsons last year are the strong ones this

The bill introduced by Mr.. Hendee in the
House yesterday to amend the act for the
support of the District government for the ifs
cal year ending June 80, ISIS, seems to cover
the points of District legislation directly
needed in very simple and Ineligible form.
In general terms it proposes what the citizens
committee have asked in their memorial
namely, that Congress should appropriate one
half of the expenses of the District govern
ment in lieu of all appropriations for the sup
port of the police, health, and fire departments
interest on bonds, street improvements, &c.
A plain, simple measure of this kind ought
to have a good chance of passing without Op-
position. leaving for future consideration
questions of suffrage, modes of taxation. &c,
likely to lead to prOtracted debate. 1t is i'm
peratively necessary for the oppressed and
impoverished taxpayers that some measure of
relief for them should be passed this session,
and the bill introduced by MIR. Hendee seems
to have a better chance of getting through
than any other offered.

1ngersOll had another large audience last
night, and the continuous and ObstreperOuS
applause showed that his hearers pretty unani-
mOusiy shared his antipathy to the doctrine of
eternal damnatiOn. 1t was noticed that many
Of the ladies present were quite as enthusiastic
as the men; which fact may be partly ac-
counted for by the eloquent blarney of the
speaker in showing how Shockingly women
we're moderated, and made subject to men in
.he Bible. His impaSsiOned denunciatiOn of
the doctrine of infant damnatiOn also seemed
to touch the senSibilities of the women, and to
cause them TO listen with somewhat atten-
tive ear to his representations that they, as the
principal church-gOerS and supporters of
churches, were largely responsible for the
maintenance of these doctrines. But the
smart and piquant speaker, while maintaining
with eloquent force that a just, merciful and
loving Supreme Being could not be guilty of
the cruelty of eondemning His children to a
state Of suffering in another sphere, failed to
refer TO the fact that His children are con-
demned TO suffer pain in this world and that,
reasoning from analogy, they may possibly
suffer in the next.
The doctrine of a literal hell of fire and brim.
stone. with a personal devil with horns. hoOfs
and pitchfOrk, has been so long exploded, that
IngersOll was rather wasting his time i'm de-
nouncing it.

why the Note Printing Should BIZ
Done Here,

The bank note companies are working here
with an active lobby in behalf of the bill now
pending for the abolition OF the Bureau of
Printing and Engraving and the transfer
from il to them of all the Treasury work {.
Governor Boutwell,. and Mr.. Shepherd. of New
York, acting as counsel for the companies,
have made arguments before the Banking and
Currency Committee i'm favor OF the bill, and
Hon. Edward Mcpherson, chief of the bu-
reau. has presented an able and conclusive
argument against it. The propositions clearly
established in the matter are in brief that it
is cOnfOrmable to all the analOgies of govern
ment service to have all the printing on the
currency and bonds of the country done i'm an
establishment owned by the government and
administered by persons directly responsible
to the Executive and the Congress. Expe-
rience has proved that no other system can be
maintained without serious and constant
risks and dangers, and great eXpenSiyeneSS.
1t is demonstrated that all the requirements
of the law can be met only by the maintenance
of the government establishment, namely,
cheapneSS of work, perfection of work. and
and Printing, sustained by the law-making
power, deserves to become an integral part of
the administration, and, so maintained, is,
and will be. of priceless value in maintaining
the pre-eminence of the government issues as
to excellence and perfection of protective fea-
lures. The progress already made in perfect
ing the organization and work of this bureau
is such TO entitle it at this critical period of
its history to the friendly action of Congress,
instead of being retarded and injured by pro.
posed unfriendly action at the instance OF
those whose interests are to first cripple and
then destroy it.

Archbishop Wood evidently considers that
the age of miracles is past. Father Heinen
had the satisfaction of reading to his congre-
CATION on last Sunday the opinion of his supe
riOr that what is deriSively called the Mauch
Chunk miracle is ''delusion and piOus
fraud, and, further. that the Seyerest cen
SureS authorized by the church" will follow a
repetition of such dOingS. So the 'ecstacy'
case must be ranked in the same category as
the suspended animation marvel, and all
modern attempts at the supernatural turn out
dismal failures

The petition to Congress to contribute the
uneXpended balance OF the Chinese indemnity
fund To the relief of the furnishing citizens of
China can hardly be granted IL the money
rightly belongs to China, it should be given alb
SOlutely, without condition as to its use, and
without pretence TO charitable beneficence on
our part; If it belongs TO us, Congress will find
the same difficulty in making money grant for
foreign charity from this source as from any
other government fund. Scruples founded on
precedent and the constitution are likely to
prevail. The sympathy of our people for the
starving Chinese must find expression in pri
yate contributions, as they have done in severa
great famineS of the past.

WHISKY
An Illicit DistiIIery Seized Near Fremont.
Nebraska.

An Illicit distiHery in Saunders coun-
ty, near Fremont, was seized on Satur-
day by revenue officers, and two of the
parties, after an examination, were
held to bail in the sum of $500 each.
The circumstances under which the
seizure vas made are as follows:
About six months ago, says the Her
aid, information was received by Dep
uty Collector Roberts, of Omaha, that
the winter previous a hunter had stop
ped at a house in Sarpy county, on the
south side of the Platte river from
North Bend, and was taken to a cave
in the Bluff and given a drink Of whis-
ky by some party whose name is I'M
known. At the same time the party
referred to saw in the cave 100 barrels
of liquor, which it was evident was
manufactured at some illicit distillery.
Three months since additional infor-
nation came through a man who had
been out on a goose hunt and who was
taken to a cave-probably the same
where he also saw many barrels of
liquor.
Roberts took pains afterward TO To-
cate the distillery and ascertain the
facts, and on Friday went to the house
of the family, fed his team, and while
they were eating took occasion to look
about the premises. In the smoke
house he found a still set up in an arch
and in running order, with a keg OF
low wines neal by.
The parties arrested are brothers,
and own a large and valuable farm
near Fremont. They denied at first
that they had manufactured any liquor
but finally admitted that they had made
it in quantities for their own use.
There is proof however that they have
manufactured in larger quantities than
they are willing to admit. The still
has a capacity of two barrels a day.

THE BAKER TRIAL.
Several Witnesses Examined for the De.
fence.

Yesterday morning the trial of w.
L. Baker, charged with the murder of
Thomas Murray, was resumed in the
District Court. AS on the day previous
the court room was crowded with spec
tators eager to hear the testimony.
Several witnesses for the defence were
sworn and gave testimony.
John d. Lee testified that he witness
ed the stabbing of Murray, He became
acquainted with Baker about three
months before this occurrence. His
reputation as a ~peaceable citizen was
good. Baker was under the influence
of liquor when the stabbing took place.
Daniel Dougherty testified that he
saw Baker Il half hour before the muir
der vas committed. Defendant was
intoxicated. Knew nothing about his
character as regards his quarelsome or
peaceable disposition.
n. ]. O'Brien testified that he had
known Baker since May, 1876. De-
PENDANT was a bailiff for the court dur
ing the May term. His character then
was good.
Col. f. c. David testified to having
became acquainted with Baker in 1876.
His reputation rs a p~eaceable young
man was good up to the time of the
killing Of Murray.
Sergeant Horribly testified to arrest,
ing Baker on the day of the murder.
Defendant was under the influence OF
liquor. He IA very much excited.
When arrested he gave up the knife
and made no resistance.
Fred. NJ. Darling, and others, were
also called as witnesses for the defence
but nothing of vital Importance to the
case was ELECTED. The trial will be re-
sumed this morning at 10 o'clock.

Aided by Spotted Eagle and Reinfore.
ments from the Agencies.
Five 10 Seven Thousand Warriors Preparing
Tor the Contest.

Chicago. March 27.-Unoficial but
trustworthy information from Fort
Walsh confirms the recent story of a
large confederation of hostile Indians
in that vicinity. Sitting Bull and
Spotted Eagle have been reinforced by
lodges from the Missouri river agencies,
including Red Cloud, and it is now
estimated that there are from five to
seven thousand warriors within a hun
dred miles of Fort Walsh. Some of
these bands have been seen by Miles
scouts. The savages are very restless
and are under constant surveillance of
the too limited force of Canadian
mounted police, who evidently antici-
pate trouble. At a council the last
week in February the Indians resolved
to resist the buffalo laws, and Sitting
Bull counseled moderation toward Ca
nadians but breathed defiance against
Americans. The force is well armed
and splendidly equipped and could prob
ably be augmented to ten thousand men,
in which case a vigorous summer cam.
paign would be probable.

Wants 10 Commit Suicide.

n young man who might be an or
nament to society came into THE
LEADER office last night under the in
fluence of liquor and signiied his in
tention of committing suicide just as
soon rs he could lay his claws on a re-
volver. Why he should prefer shooting
himself, to any other method of termi-
mating his existence we cannot deter
mine. He might find relief from his
woes at the bottom Of Lake Ka6is or
jump from the dome of Carr's court
house. 1t is unnecessary to go to the
expense of purchasing a revolver.
