Samuel McElrath, professional burglar
who sometimes attains tor the dignity Of a
bank-robbeF and safe-blower, was arrested
yesterday on State street. near Van Buren,
by Detectives Londergan and Murnaue. who
were aware that, he was wanted for bank
robbery at Mt. Pulaski, ILL.,, on the night of
April q, 1879. He was arrested for this
robbery at st. Louis. and upon being
taken back to hit. PulasKf was fully
identified. In May following he broke the
County Jail at Lincoln and got away with
two other noted cracksmen. During the su,n-
mer he came to this city, where he was on
intimate terms with such men as Collins and
Herman Young, expert burglars, now doing
time at Joliet The detectives knew he syaS
here, but McElrath avoided them by keeninr

his real name, and strongly denied the

markablc a character, however, for any one
who knows him to be mistaken in his
identity. The charges upon which McEIrath
is wanted at Mt. Pulaski are bank robbery
and attempted murder Of the President Of the
bank, whom he and his companion tried to
compel to throw open to them the money

Pecuniary Independence.

We talk great deal about our polit-
ical, intellectual, moral, and social IN
dependence; all the world has heard u
talk about them. We do not snjey
them % fally, perhaps, - We think.
How much Independence Of thought
has the journalist, for instance Who
must bid for an audience, the author
whose first thought must be never 70
displease reader, the orator who muSt
repeat the stock notions of his hearers,
the professor who has to reconcile evo-
luton with theology; how much liberty
Of action has the voter who depends
upon a government salary, or who IL
in politicians employ? One can not
very seriously blame these people, to
whom independence often means star
walton. What I want to set in clear
light is this: that independence in life
and thought depends, more than we
like to believe, upon pecuniary indie
pendence; it is not to be had by wish
ing merely. Individuals there are, and
always will be, who will suffer for their
moral or intellectual independence;
but communities will be what circum-
stances make them. This, again, I
want to set in clear light: that we are,
as a community, deficient, in spite OF
all our national wealth, and unnecessa-
rily deficient, in the best part of indie
pendence-the power to enjoy our lives.
In this respect We are behind our
friends in France, with their tive
millions Of people living upon their
incomes.
These two millions Of people are not,
for the most part, either idle, or friyo-
lous, or wealthy people. Many Of them
live in the cities, but more Of them are
quiet people living on their modest
properties in the country, and enjoying
their competence in rational way
enjoying friendships, social pleasures,
family affections; and all the kindly
observances Of home life in way that
we have little idea of-in way that the
tourist in Paris sees nothing OF. We
have much to learn from the French,
and among the things that We have to
learn are some that may surprise rs.
One of these things is the comfort, the
unity, and the permanence Of French
homes. The French home and family,
their happiness, their unity, thei per-
manence, these have been devel ,pd by
the combined industry, thrift. att; do
mestic sentiment Of the mos in' lii
gent people in Europe, and especially
by its great middle class. We have tIie
significant testimony of Prince Bls-
marck that the French nation has
social solidity such as no other nation
Of Europe enjoys" And Mr.. Matthew
Arnold, from whose Mixed Essays"
I quote, adds: "This can only come
from the broad basis of well-being, aud
of cause for satisfaction with life, which
in France. more than in other countries,
exists" II we had two millions Of
people, or one million. who were enjoy
ing competence, earned or inherited,
can it be doubted that We should be
happier people, and better one, than
We are? France and the United States
have this important featured in common.
in each country nearly one-half Of the
people live directly by agriculture; but
our country homes and families have
not attained the comfort or the perma-
hence Of theirs.-T. NJ. CoAN, In Har-
psr's Magazine.

Not Up on Goats.

The goat 10 an everyday sight, and
the man who does not study him and
learn his ways and habits has only him
self to blame. Saturday forenoon :
William I" was quietly feeding on Co
lumbia street when q load Of household
goods went past. The owner kept pace
with the wagon. carrying under his
arm q fine mirror about five feet long.
As he came opposite the goat he met .
friend, and of course he had to stop
and tell why he was changing locations
and how much he expected to be bene-
flied. The glass was heavy, and he
naturally dropped one end to the walk
to rest his arm.
Had this man been close observer
he would have seen the goat and wished
he had brickbat. Had he made goat
nature study he would have known
better than to lower the glass. But he
was man who despised the triaes AZ
life, and he was telling how many tons
of coal the new house would save him
this winter when the goat, who had
been getting mad for two long minutes
at sight of q rival in the mirror. went
through the glass like thunderbolt,
and jumped into the street with the
frame cllnging to his shaggy aides.
All that ripping, and raving, and cuss-
ing-all the opening Of front doors
ell the inquiries by IN excited crowd
could have been saved had the citizen
but beckoned to the smallest boy on
the street and asked him to give away
few points on goats. -Detr0it Press.
