A Numbering System.
Labor Reformer.

i<hoOf ASctOimcIs
According to Mr.. Edwin Chad
wick, c. B., the average life of the
English gentry is fifty years, of
the shop-keeping class twenty
seven years, and of the wage
workers twenty-three years. So
that not only does the competitive
system rob the toiler of the bulk
of his earnings and deprive him
of the right to enjoy life, but it
kills him ere half his natural
years of life are run.
But this is not all, not even the
worst. Out of every one hundred
of the children of the shop
keepers thirty-eight die under that
age; while no less than forty-eight
in every hundred, nearly one-half,
of the children of the wage
workers die under five.
By the way, how much does il
cost every year to send mission
aries to teach Hindoo mothers
not to throw their children into
the Gangesa What is the moral
difference between commercial
ism and child murder?

On Sunday, the 22nd inst, a

Perforated by the stupid clerical
education which he received, and
also by the large quantities of
alcohol which he has been in the
habit Of absorbing, fired two shots
from revolver at our friend
Louise Michel, while she was lee
turing at LIE Havre in support of
the socialist paper LLdee Ouv,1iere

published in that town. One of
the bullets tore her ear, and the
other. entered her head and has
not as yet been extracted. The

recovery would in all probability
become impossible. AS she is
courageously battling against her
wounds, and shows not the slight
est sign of depression but remains
bright and lively as usual, we ear
nestly hope that she-w;ll recover.
In her magnanimity, Louise
Michel wrote to the wife of her
would-be assassin that she would
try to get him out of trouble, and
she is doing her best for him.
The whole press Il mean the
bourgeois dress) has been obliged
to acknowledge the courage and
the disinterestedness of Louise
Michel, and it is quite true, as was
stated, that in point Of sentiment,
in pluck, in generosity, in forti-
tude, and tenderness of heart, she
is the greatest human being of
her age. Again we express the
most hearty wishes for her COM
plete recovery.

"The senate has been obstruct.

The New York Times, March !,

prevail during the closing hours

Ben was rather quiet this morning

seemed brooding, but I refrain from in-
quisitive questioning and Quietly we
rode along. By this time the sun had
risen in its August glory, and the dew
on the thousands of purple cone flowers
and helianthus sparkled with crystal
lustre, and far as the eye could reach
we beheld a vast expanse Of verdant
green, dotted with the colored gems ma
ture had so bountifully strewn. We
drank in the morning scene with quiet
delight, for although we were accus-
toned to beauties of the prairies, we ea-
silly fell prey to their charms. It was
noon when we halted near small hill
lock to rest our animals and to refresh
ourselves with a bit of cold meat, while
our ponies were browsing on the herbage
around. Mine was a rather spirited
animal, being quite young, and having
passed its days on the prairies, never
having been subjected to hard work at
the garrisons. 1t was like all the In.

and had carried its rider many time

finished our luncheon we remounted
and were now bent.upon getting over
the ground as fast as possible. as IL had
become quite warm and we were far
away from shelter of any kind. A
western breeze was playing over the
prairie bringing with it the faint bark
OF prairie dog, and the louder and re-
echoeing call of the prairie hen. The
hum OF busy insects was surrounding us,
as we were riding along, while the
noon-day air lay sultry upon the grass.
