PARIS. March 81. - The intense

Anarchist leaders points to the iinmi-
nence of a revolutionary movement.
Eleven revolutionary meetipgs were
held to night, mainly in those
quarters Of the city inhabited only
by WOrklngiDsn, anu All were largely
attended. At the Bellviie meeting one
of the orators declared that 80, OG0 men,
provided with arms, were ready to rise
in iusurrection at moments warning.
An official OF the secret police, who
was present as the meeting, disguised,
attempted to arrest the speaker, but
the latter was hustled away by his

AN ALusHOUsE HORROR.

The revelations before a
Massachusetts Legislative Com
mittee relative to the TeWk sbury
A!mshOuSe, an institution to
which Governor Butler called
attention in his last message are
unspeakably horrible. 1t was
shewn that there was between
three and four hundred deaths
per year. The authorities of tie
den sold the bodies of adults for
ten dollars each and children
were disposed of at prices rang
ing from three to five dollars.
Some of the bodies were picked
in barrels and shipped to Boston
like so much sauerkrout or souse.
Medical men who had dissected
the bodies stated that in many
instances the stomachs ofthe chill
dren showed that they had par
taken of no nourishment within
twenty-four hours prior to death
1t is clear that the poor children
were starved to death by the
ghouls of the Almshouse that
their emaciated bodies might be
sold for three or five dollars.
The starvation must have also
been done for double purpose
the death of the children and
enhanced value of the corpse.
Medical men perfer for the dis
secting tables bodies stripped of
all superb uous fat. The knife
of science Graves lean meat, and
an emaciated subject worn down
to mere skin and bones is pref
cradle to a plump subject, as the
removal of the fatty tissues is
tedious and troublesome. It fol-
lows that the children whose
corpses commanded So must have |
been worse starved than the So
ones. Another revolving feature !
of the wretched business is that |
this same testimony was before |
the Grand Jury years ago and
nothing i0as done. 1t is astonish-
ing with what a tenacious grip |
politicians can hold on to State |
institutions and how easily these
cruelties and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
can be smoothed over. The
Board of DirectC rs doubtless re-
ceived favors from the aims
house in the shape of a couple
of quarts of cream a day or a
few vegetables and closed their
eyes to the deviltry going on
within. No State can be too
careful in the management Of its
public institutions where the
care of children, the poor or the
aged is concerned. The Massa-
chusetts infamy deserves to be
made an example Of. the
wretches who starve childred
to death and then sell their
bodies to be cut up on a dissect-
ing table with four footed ami
mails, as the testimony shows
was done in this instance, de-
served nothing short of i'm
mediate lynching.

The "Boomerang" or ''7-20 s" scored a
genuine success at Granite Hall last evening
and we'll merits all the praise that has been
bestowed upon it. A large audience for Au-
gusta was delighted with the play, and for
three hours revealed in mirth and laughter.
In fact, the entire performance bubbl es over
with fun. In the play . gentleman OF leisure
falls in love with the picture of young lady,
which he saw at . private exhibition. An
English lord also falls in love wit b the same
picture, but not of the young lady. but OF the
dog at the feet Of the fair one. This leads
to many repiculous misunderstsnii ngs and
situations, cleaveriy contrived. The young
lady's mother has weakness for poets and
other literary celebrities and she has the old
love letters of her husband abounding tn
quotations from Tennyson, Moor. and other
poets, and believed by her to be the origina
productions of her husband, printed in
neat volume to surprise her leige lord. 1t
does prove q surprise to him and while the
family are on visit to New York he Il
Obliged to rush od and buy the whole edition
to prevent his being the laughing stock OF
the city. The Arthur Rehan Combination
proved to be an exceptionally strong COM
pany. y
