Children from Cruelty arrested
Thomas Dickerson and his wife, resi-
ding on Summer road, between
Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth streets,
charged with neglect and cruelty Of
their children, five in number, rang
ing from fifteen months to Ia years
Of age. The abode was found in a
miserable condition and the children
in a starving and freezing state.
A little fellow, 8 years Of age, was
suffering so badly from having his
feet frozen that it was impossible for
him to stand on them and all the
children we're without any Dprotec-
ton whatever for their feet. The
eldest boy was without a coat on
his back, his only clothing consist
ing of torn shirt and a pair Of
pants. He says he had work where
he earned SO per week, but his
father took all his money and spent
it for rum and at last had TO aban-
don his work, having no clothes to
wear and no money with which to
buy new ones. All the children
have been temporarily provided for
at the Almshouse.- Philadelphia

EDUCATING THE CoLoRED RACE
IN KENTUoKY.-Kentucky has had
schools for the education Of colored
youth since 1874, and Gov. Nc
Creary in his recent message says;
"There are, without doubt, material
benefits to be derived from the edu-
cation Of all human beings, and it is
to be hoped that the colored people
will show their appreciation of the
system presented to them by culti-
vating a healthy sentiment in favor
of education, and by sending their
children to school, 50 as to prepare
them to- exercise the privilege Of
voting intelligently, and enjoy tc
the fullest extent adj the sacred
rights of freemen."

LONGEVITY IN PHILADELPHIA.-

LONGEVITY IN PHILADELPHIA
During the year 1877 six hundred
and ffty-one persons died in Phila.
delphia who had attained the age Of
eighty years and over, Of whom two
hundred and thirty were men and
four hundred and twenty one women,
the latter outnumbsring the former
by one hundred and ninety -one, and
being nearly two-thirds of the whole
number. The total for 1877 is forty
eight less than for 1875, and all the
statistics show that the women living
over eighty years not only outnum-
bered the men, but they were alsc
the longest lived, there being many
more women than men who lived be-
yond ninety, the former numbering
eighty-six and the latter only twen-
ty-five.

"The oery man OF all others arho has the
deepest interest IN a sound currency, and
,oho suffers most By mischier0us legislation in
money matters, is the man ,1ho earns his dai-
ly bread By his daily toll. A deprecated cur
rency, sudden changes of prices, paper money
falling bet,oeen morning and noon, and fal-
ling still l0auer bet,oeen noon and night, these
things constitute the cery harvest time Of spec
ulators, and Of the ,ohole race Of those who are
at once idle and crafty. a disor-
dered currency is one of the greatest political
euils. 1t Hundermines the uirtues necessary for
the support Of the social system, and encoar-
ages propensities destructive to its hnppiness.
1t acars against industry, trugaHty and econ-
omy, and it fosters the eril spirits of e1trao-
agance and speculation. Of all the contri-
cances for cheating the laboring classes Of
mankind, none has been more efectual than
that aohich deludes them with paper money.
This is the most efectual of intentions to fer

A PARAGRAPH constantly appears in
Chdse's Chronicle TO the effect that at the
close of business yesterday and at the close
of business on every other day for the last
fifteen years the greenback dollar was worth
a hundred cents for the payment of all
debts and taxes, except customs and in
terest on the public debt. Very well; but
how about its purchasing power? What
would it do fifteen years ago, or ten years
ago, or one year ago, for the man who wanted
to buy something? Has not its purchasing
power steadily increased while its debt-pay-
ing power has remained the same? Will it
not now purchase more food and clothing
as well as discharge as many dollars Of debt?
Is it not putting the laborer on an equality
with the bondholder inasmuch as the laborer
can buy as much with his dollar as the bond
holder with his? Fifteen years ago it could
discharge hundred cents of debt in this
country. To-day it eau discharge within
fraction of a cent a hundred cents of debt
the world over, for it will command that In
gold. And has not resumption effected these
desirable objects2

Thu soundest political economists have
predicted that an irredeemable and inflated
currency will promote speculation and ex-
travagance, and discourage legitimate bus-
ness, honest labor, and economy; that over
trading and fast living will go with 1t; that it
will stimulate desire to incur debt; that it
will cause high rates Of interest; that it will
increase importations from abroad; that it
will breed panics; that every period of inha-
ton will be followed by loss of confidence, a
shrinkage of values, depression of business,
lack of employment, and widespread disaster
and distress. That has been our history
since the war. But the prediction was made
before the war could be foreseen; indeed
before we had national existence. Was it
only lucky guessing on the part of the econo-
mlsts, or did they reason from knowledge and
the recorded experience of nations?

The Shoe and Leather Reporter says:
There seems TO be good deal of hurrying on
the part Of debtors to avail themselves of the
relief of the bankrupt law, before the 1st of
September, when its repeal goes into effect.
There are some failures announced Though
for the moment we do not think of any such
in our trade-for which it is difficult to ac-
count on any other hypothesis than that the
parties are tempted to resort to this method
of liquidation by the readiness which credit
ors manifest to settle on any terms that may
be offered them. 1t has grown to be so CON-
mon thing to fail that the shame of it is not
as great as it used to be. If there was dan
ger OF the rigid scrutiny Of vigilant assignee,
and a thorough sitting of the assets, it would
be different matter. But the process of
compounding is so simple and smooth. there
is so little objection to it from any quarter,
and the victims of it acquiesce with such a
remarkable degree of patience and even
cheerfulness, as if grateful to get anything,
that the inducements are great to tradesmen
whose moral sense is not Of the keenest to
settle up and start anew with increased capi-
tai and clean bill book.
