A WORTHY EXAMPLE.

There are some rich people who, in an
ticipation of death or from . desire to
See themselves what good their money
may do TO their fellow-men, make wise
and thoughtful donations and bequest9.
In parenthesis it may be said that Gin
cinnati is becoming the envy of the
world for possessing few such men.
There are others Of class who want
only to build monuments to their own
vanity-to link their names and mem
ories to some imposing, long-range result
Of their gcnerosity--to make themselves
memorable for their meannessea to those
they see suffer and will not relieve, by
attempting to provide rich boons for
those they never saw.
1t must be confessed that there are so
many appeals to the rich, and literally
needed, in this suffering world that il
must be matter of extreme difficulty
for the best disposed to decide where his
money will do the most good to his fellow
men. In a material sense it is quite safe
to say that the late George Peabody came
nearer solving this problem and establish.
ing al example than any other man who
has lived and died in the last hundred
years. He recognized the fact that sim ply
to subsidize or reward poverty was to en-.
courage poverty, and that the best way
to prevent an abject dependence upon
charity was to put honest industry in the
way of enjoying the comforts and cheap
luxuries OF good home. His donations
and bequests for that purpose amounted
to about two-and-one-half millions dol.
lars and the report for the year 1878 OF
the Trustees of the Peabody Donation
Fund, of which the Earl Of Derby is
Chairman, shows to what good practical
use the proceeds of this vast fund have
been put.
Already over $1O0O,OOO have been
added to this fund from interest and
rents. Two million seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars have already been
expended in buildings for the poor in
London. Buildings containing over
1000 rooms have been provided, ex-
elusive of wash and bath rooms, which
are rented at the rate of, for single
room, about seventyfive cents per week,
for two 81 12, for three 81 81, with free
use of water, laundrios, sculleries and
bathrooms. In these buildings the most
perfect sanitary regulations are intro
duced, and the result is shown in the
fact that in the Peabody Buildings the
annual death rate for three years is far
less than the average in the entire city
Of London.
The income even at these low rents is
nearly five per cent. on the OUTLAY, and
this is constantly being c&p""''' \ tie

erection of new blocks of good tenement
houses-dwellings that save the poor
from becoming paupers and the well from
the malaria and death of the old-time
pest houses, in which the poor have here
tofore been huddled, with less comforts
than are bestowed upon the brute crea-
ton.
As has been well said, "there was moth
ing emotional or sensational in this grand
gift" Mr.. Peabody was shrewd man
of business, who wasted nothing in
Boorioboola Cha or adjacent territory.
When he found himself in position to
do vast deal of good with his vast for
tune, he provided for the good work with
the same blsiness-like shrewdness that
had enabled him to accumulate his mil
lions. He judged rightly that every en-
couragement that could be given by pro-
viding comfortable homes for honest in
dustry would 60 far and be a constant
motive power to lessen the ranks of hope
less poverty. He has pointed out way
that is unlimited in its demands upon the
rich and charitable, and the success of his
gifts should raise up host of public
benefactors who would do for the poor of
other cities what he has done for Lon
don. Aside from all philanthropic mo-
tives his trustees, acting under his will,
have shown how, as a simple business in
vestment men of wealth ought to be in
duced to do something for the welfare of
the laboring classes.

Mons PoMNTER, retired lawyer of
Paris, conceived himself liheled by al

Gently brought suits against thirty-six of
the worst of them for damages his char
aeter had suffered at their hands. The
sum total of damages claimed was "a mill.
ion and half of francs. The amount
showed the high valuation even lawyer
may put upon his character, and the
vast extent to which it may suffer harm
by being wantonly assailed. While
$500, 900 ought, in any ordinary market
to pay for the very best article of char
Rctcr, yet this estimate was divided yer!
reasonably amongst so many defendants
that each was called upon to pay only
ubout eight and one-third thousand dol
lars as his share of the damage done,
which was very COnsidcrate of the plaint
id, as the whole sum would have crushed
any ordinary journal. The case was SC
serious that the very best counsel was
employed on both sides. The celebrated
Advocate Lachaud, ard other leading
members OF the bar, defended the press.
Nearly all the journals were acquitted
Two or three were found guilty of hav.
ing slightly DETAINED the plaintiffs char.
meter, and the Court imposed fine of
twenty-five francs, or S., upon each,
without costs. The plaintiffs costs, and
expenses Of counsel, &c, amount to about
two hundred thousand francs. Mr..
Pommicr is not the first man who has
gone forth for a harvest of journalistic
wool, and "come back shorn."

new YORK star.
When "Baba" was in preparation at
Niblo's, during August, 1876, there were
frequent Sunday rehearsals and the car.
penters and costumers were kept at work
every day in the week. It was predict
ed in consequence that the spectacle
would be a failure. 1t made money, bu.
there was crash at the end, and the
trouble about the piece was endless
At the last rehearsal of the spectacle
all the scenery was ready and "set" for
the first time. In the Transformation
scene an immense gilded cage, filled with
white doves, was to be used. These
throughout the first acts were kept sus.
pended far up in he flies out of eight OF
the audience. Miss Eliza Weathersby
who played the part of the Prince
Amoret in the spectacle, did not notice
the cage until the Sunday night full
dress rehearsal had progressed, very
smoothly, to the second act, and she
stood ready to go on at the second en-.
trance, left. Happening to cast her eyes
upward she espied it and its contents
Rushing off to the first entrance she
caught George Devere, the stage manager
by the arm and led him to her former
standpoint, and, pointing to the cage,
asked in great excitement:
"Mr. Deyere, tell me-what is that up
there%
"Why, it's very large bird cage, Miss
Weathersby," he replied in great aston,
ishment.
"And what are they going to do with
it?"
'It's to be used in the final transform
alton scene
"But they must take it down. I'll not
have it there

"What objection? Do you suppose
am going to play with cage of white

"Because it's unlucky. The piece will

"Oh, you don't know! I'm astonished
that you and the management would per-
init such Il thing"

British authorities have concluded
to give employment, to a certain ex.
tent, to those who are hard at work.

Shannon, with view to their drain
age. The Government Engineer er
having completed his surveys and
plans, there is to be an expenditure
of 100000 upon the works, which
will give employment to quite a

this is but one of many methods
which may be adopted to aid the
worthy aud inudustrious people up

THE SUPPRESSION OF PoLYGAMY.
The continued and deliberate vic.
lation by large number of the
prominent and influential citizens of
the territory of Utah, Of the laws of
the United States, for the prosecu.
ton and punishment of polygamy,
commands attention Of every depart
ment of the government. This Ter.
ritory has population sufficient to
entitle it to admission as a state, and
the general interests of the nation
and territory require its advance
from the territorial form of Govern
ment to the responsibilities and priv
ileges of state. This important
change will not, however, be ap-
proved by the country while the cit
zens Of Utah, in very considerable
number, uphold a practice which is
condemned as crime by the laws Of
all civilized communities throughout
the world. The law for the suppress
sion of this offence was enacted with
great unanimity by congress more
than II years ago, but has remained
until recently a dead letter in the
territory of Utah, because Of the Pc
culiar difficulties attending its en-.
forcsment. The opinion widely pre-
vailed among the citizens of Utah
that the law was in contravsntion Of
the constitutional guarantee of rslig.
ious freedom. This objection is now
removed. The supreme court Of the
United States has decided the law
to be within the Legislative power of
congress, and binding as a rule of
action for all who reside within the
territories. There is no longer any
reason for delay or hesitation in its
enforcement. 1t should be firmly
and effectively executed. If not
sufficiently stringonti in its provisions
it should be amendeds and in aid of
purposes in view, ] recommend that
more comprehensive and more search
ing methods for preventing as well
as Furnishing, this crime be provided.
If necessary to secure obedience to
the law, the enjoyment and exercise
of the rights and privileges of citi.
zenship in the territories of the
United States may be withheld or
drawn from those who violate or op.
pose the enforcement Of the law on
this subject.
THE CONDITION OF ALASKA.
The third article of the treaty
with Russia, Of March 30, 1867, by
which Alaska was ceded to the Unit
ed States, provides that the inhabit-
ants of ceded territory, with the sx-
ception of the uncivilized native
tribes, shall bo admitted to the en-.
joyment of all rights of citizens of
the United States, and shall be main.
tanned and protected in the free en-
joyment of their liberty Of property
and religion. The uncivilizsd tribes
are subject to such laws and regula-
tions as the United States may from
time to time adopt in regard to the
aboriginal tribes Of that country.
