+. V. saalley describes "A Great
harity Reform" In the the J uly
Ckstsyy, which has been due In con
ception and mainly in execution to
the charitable work At Miss Louisa
Lee Schuyler, of New York City,
the leading membes Of 1.-THE State
Charities Aid Association" The In
nuenee Of heredity In crime Is 50rci-
bly, illustrated - follows:
At one Of the neetinss Of the A.
sociation, when the subject Of invent
ing pauperism by giving . proper
training to the children Of paupen
was under consideration, Dr.. Elisha
Harris related the terrible story Of
Margaret, the Mother Of Crimi-
nals." It hes been published In the
newspaper, but can probably Be
read again to il1astrate the lmpost-
ance Of one branch Of the sssociAr
tons work. Margaret was pauper
child LEFT adrilt In one Of the villages
ON the upper Hudson, about ninety
years ago. There Was NO aims house
In the place, and she was made the
subject Of outdoor relief, receiving
oceaeionally food and clothing from
the town officials, but was never ed
ucated nor sheltered In . proper
home. She became the mother Of .
long race Of criminals and paupers,
which has cursed the county ever
since. The county records show two
hundred Of her descendents who
have been criminals. In one gener-
alton Of her unhappy line there were
twenty children, Of whom seventeen
lived to maturity. Nine served terms
aggregating fifty yearvie the State
Prison for high crimes, and all the
others were frequent inmates Of jails
and alms-houses. 1t il said, that Of
the six hundred and twenty-three
descendenty Of this outcast girl. two
hundred committed crimes which
brought them upon the court records,
and most Of the others were idiots,
drunkards, lunatics, paurers, or
prostitutes. The cost to the county
Of this race Of criminals and psupes
h estimated ut at least one huDdred
thousand dollars, takingno account
Of the damage they inflicted upon
property and the suffering and deg
relation the caused in Others. Who
can say that all this loss and wretch
edness might not have spared the
community II the poor pauper girl
Margaret had been provided with a
good moral home-life while she was
growing up to woman-hootl.

The darkness Of ignorance benumbed
the brave.

Guiteau's appeal fails. The su-

bIa has denied Lawyer Reeds motion
for reheariRg of the case.
The announcement that the reduc-
ton of the public debt for May has
been only s10,OO0,000 does not seem
to check the introduction of old claims
or demands for public buildings.

The First District.

It would seem from present indica-
tions that Governor Stewart of Mid
dlebury, would receive the nomination
for Congress at the coming conven-
ton, without much opposition. The
feeling in his favor seems to be very
general. He certainly possesses rare
qualifications for the position, and
would undoubtedly represent the new
first district most creditably. Of his
candidacy, the Vergennes Vermonter
says:
s'We are are gratifed to be able to
state that the popular feeling in favor
of the nomination of Governor Stew
art, is daily growing stronger, and
that every indication points to his
nomination by the. District Conven-
ton, June 22d, at Burlington.
These gratifying indications will be
hailed with pride and pleasure by the
citizens of .'old Addison" who will
rally, we believe, with a united dele
CATION in his support, and who believe
that he will maintain the Vermont
ideas of Republicanism in Congress
with great ability, with courteous dig
nifty, and with that firmness and in
tegrity which have given to Senator
Edmunds q proud position among the
statesmen of the country. He will be
found equal to every occasion, and
will be true as steel To the interests of
Vermont, whose honor and good name
he will always proudly and jealousy
maintain"

Guiteau has addressed the following
letter to the Star for publication:

officials, from the Executive down to
the court in banc, who are reviewing
my case, that | tell the truth, land
lie not" when | say l am Gods man
in the matter of President Garfeld's
removal, and that if hair of my
head is harmed the Almighty will
make the officials that do it, pay well
for it. If | was outside | would lee

reau on religious subjects. One of
my subjects would be "Paul the Apos-
tie and kindred topics" If my time
has come to leave this world, am
willing, but want the officials that
murder me on the gal!ows to under
stand the issue. If they murder me
they will incur the wrath of the AL
mighty God, and it will be long
time before he will let up on them and
this nation. The devils that crucified
the despised Christ thought they were
doing Gods service bus that did not
release them from liability. They and
their nation incurred the wrath of the
Almighty by that act and he got even
with them at the destruction of Jeru-
salem, and He will get even with this
nation and with the officials if | am
murdered on the galIows. l want an
unconditional pardon or nothing, and
L want the Executive to so understand
it. | have set forth my views fully
on this in my book, The Truth and
the Removal" If the honorable iur-
lists representing the Washington court
in banc decide contrary to law, the
matter will rest with President Arthur.
and they will have incurred the wrath

FOREIGN NOTES.

Giuseppe Garibaldi, the graat ital-
ian patriot, died at his home in Capre-
ia last Friday night, from an attack
of acute bronchitis which his enfeebied
condition made fatal. Thus ends one
of the most romantic personal careers
of modern Europe, and one of the
most momentous of its political forces.
1t is reported that Dervisch Pasha
and Server Pasha will be appointed
special Commissioners to proceed to
Egypt.
The French squadron of iron-clads
at Alexandria will soon be materially
increased, as France is determined to
make her power felt.
The five additional war vessels Or
dered to Alexandria by the British
Government, left Suda Bay on Mon
day of last week, with sealed orders,
and were expected to arrive at Alex
andria last Thursday.
1t is stated thartAe Porte is oppos-
ed to the dispatch of Turkish vessels
to Alexandria as long as the allied
fleets remain in Egyptian waters.
Right Hon. William Henry Smith,
in speech at Southampton, Eng, re-
ferring to affairs in Egypt, said he had
no desire to embarrass the Govern
ment, but as they had pledged Eng
lands word to assist the Khedive if he
followed their advice, the pledge must
be faithfully kept.
A dispatch to Reuters Telegram
Company from Rome says it is author
atiyeIy denied that any proposition
has been made to Italy to intrust her
with the task of intervening in Egypt.
Arab Pasha is employing every
means to win over the Bedouips of
Alexandria. The Khedive drove out
without an armed guard on Wednes-
day, and afterwards held a crowded
reception. Arab Pasha kissed the
Khedive's hand and protested himself
the Khediye's most humble slave, but
afterwards he set in circula-
ton a petition denouncing the Khe-
dive. More than 200 influential per-
sons hostile to Arab Pasha are being
departed to Soudan as fast as possible. !

The RELIGION OF ToLERATION.-
Many man will say that he does not
know what doubt means, and we know
that this is a sign of the stagnation of
the soul. The hest thing that can
happen to such a man is to stir
up an honest doubt in him.
The liberation of indifference or of
sentiment gives way to the liberation
of faith. Generally there are these
successive growths in the various
stages of development, but it is not
always the case. Gods power is great
enough sometimes to lift men over the
bog, but in most cases they must
struggle through. Many of the most
earnest and cultivated men that have
ever lived have had no hesitation in
burning or beheading their brethren
All the railing against persecution,
which, belongs to Voltaire II
his school, may find its answer in the
intensity of the mans faith. 1t is an
unstable kind of persecution, and not,
as Voltaire says, one that springs from
selfish motives. Thus we can never
Judge of federation until we know
what kind the man possesses. When
/ look at Lord Falkland, and see how
he dwells upon the mass; when l
think of Milton with his poet heart
when consider Oliver Cromwell, who,
notwithstanding his party instincts,
was the most tolerant man of his time
when | reflect that all these lived in
an age of intolerance, then, and on
ly then, | am able to discern what
true liberation is. There are certain
times when the most dogmatic men
become tolerant. We often see those
who at middle age have fought each
other on religious doctrines, later in
life rejoicing because they are men,
bers of one faith. The religion which
brings men to Jesus Christ is the re-
ligion of federation. Ministers of
Christ should be the most tolerant of
men. If they essay to he better than
the men they lead, federation will be
their highest and best attainment.-I

Both men dropped dead at the same
