DIR. Hale on New England.

Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale
has drawn some very interesting
conclusions from the census figures,
and made some equally interesting
observations upon them.
He says that the illiteracy o.
Massachusetts, and Rhode Island
which is greater than in other New
England states, is almost all among
immigrants from countries whose
rulers did not wish to have tn,
people intelligent. The New
England states, on the other hand
being governed by the people
themselves, compel the education
of all minors, and ale on the way
TO compel instruction in reading
and writing for all, minors or adults.
DIR. Hale points out that New
England, having made, long since,
most OF the necessary permanent
plants, which every community
must make, is now able to devote
her extra wealth TO what were once
called Injuries, roads, schoo!ho uses
and other prime necessities. New
England, of course, has some such
necessities; but the work of 26O
years has been OF some use in pre-
vlding them. She spends, therefore,
great deal of money in making
herself a place more agreeable TO
live in. New England, he AYERS,
Is a favorite ZONE for the best
people of the United States. AS
Ezra Stales prophesicd, indeed,
100000 of the people of America
are descended from New England
ers; and most of them look fondly
back to the home of their fathers
and mothers. If they return there
they find an ocean bath for their
summer, good schools for their
the best medical advice
for their diseases, rational religion
for their consolation and stimulus,
The books Of the world for their
free use in reading.
lt is the belief of DIR. Hale.
therefore, that the verdict of
America is that New England is
good place to live in. Some
100000 of her sons and daughters
ire living in other states of this
nation; but as a practical com.
pensatlon for their absence, she has
n her borders 2OO,O 900 of the citi. |
'ens of this country who have
'ome to make their home with |
Ter. These are, in general, of the
pest Americans, DR.. Hale saws.
Her contingent of foreign. born
men and women adapts itself more
md more to her institutions; and
New England, not caring much
bout such matters, but caring,
With spirit and hope, for comfort
nd intelligence in happy homes,
as no fear whatever that she is to
e left GU: in the cold.

HcCaIia'. Conduct.

NEW YORK, March 5.-The World
this morning prints at length n state
ment made by fireman Walker Of
the United States corvette Enter
prise, regarding the conduct Of Com
mander McCalla toward him. Wal
ker, il will be remembered, is the
man who was cut down by McCalla
with a sword. Walker sweArs he
was not drunk, and that he vas put
on watch in place Of a man who was
drunk ard raising big row. When
McCalla came on board from 4
hall on shore, Lieutenant MullIgan
reported 10th Walker and the mate
for drunkenness. Walker meantime
had been chained up to a gun. He
endeavored TO explain to McCalla
that he was not drunk, but the latter
ordered the officer of the watch to
cut him down. The officer hesitat-
ing, MeCalla sent for his sword and
did it himself, amid loud murmurs
Of the crew. When Walker was
lying senseless aud bleeding on the
deck MeCalla had him doused re-
peatedly with salt water. Walker
tells Of repeated punishment inflicted
upon him causelessly. and says he
finally was forced to desert the ship
TO save his life. From the action Of
McCalla and other commissioned
officers Walker says he believes they
wanted him TO desert so he would be
out Of the way Of possible investiga.
ton when the Enterprise returned
home. At every port made McCalla
would pay him all the money due
up to that time.

ACoId.RIoodcd Crime.

SAN JOSE, De Costa Rica, March
5.-One Of the most horrible and
cold-bleoded crimes perpetrated in
this department within many years
has just been brought TO light at the
village Of Charme, on the bay coast.
Some time ago two Fcenchmen, ex-
employees Of the De Lesseps canal,
took up their abode in the place, en-
tering into agricultural pursuits, in
which at the time Of the tragedy
they had already begun to be fairly
successful. In their employment
were two negroes, one from Martin
ique. the other frona Jamaica Re-
Gently one Of the partners came over
to this city and drew from a local
bank $1,000 in silver, which he car
ried home to the plantation. A few
DAYS later the small boy who at
tended to the domestic wants of the
two, on going to their house in the
morning, found both partners lying
dead, decapitated, in their bedroom.
An alarm was raised, but when the
authorities reached the scene they
found no trace of the two negroes
and the money was gone.
Since then the fugitives have
been traced across the isthmus to
Colon, where they are believed TO
have taken passage under false
names on the mail steamship
In Bucaramanja, Colombia, q
police officer recently murdered
with a har of iron his own children,
two girls, aged 5 and years, and
afterwards attempted to kill bis

The Missing Head.

DOVER, y. H., March 5.-There
are many persons who believe that
Isaac Sawtells eeereted the missing
head Of his bother Hiram in an old
well about half mile from the place
from where the body was found.
Within few days partial search
has been made by means Of long
poles, which has revealed evidence
that there are stones in the bottom.
also long piece Of wood, which, 1T is
thought, may be a spade or pick-ax
handle. Several stones are missing
from a neighboring wall which have
evidently been removed recently,
while a mark at the mouth of the
well shows that some one had visited
it within short time.
John Hobbs, of Pennington, sue
ceeded, after several hours Of work,
in bringing up thread from a piece
of cloth, similar to that used by Saw
telle TO carry the tools purchased by
him from the hardware deal
or the day Hiram was
murdered. He also found two
or three hairs clinging to the
wet pole when it was drawn up,
while close to the well was found 4
small bone collar button. There are
about six feet Of water in the well
at present. The search will be con-
tinued. The theory is that Saw
telle, after throwing in the head
and the bag Of tools, dumped in the
stones to hold them down.

1henehnte Continued.

LONDON, March 5.-The debate
on the amendment TO Smiths mo-
ton, relative to the adoption by the
Commons Of the Parnell commits
sion report, moved by Gladstone, was
resumed today.
Mcneil (home ruler) said he be-
lieved the appointment Of the COM
mission was merely an attempt by
the government TO stir up hatred
against the Parnellites. He charged
the government with allowing
Pigott to escape, as it had allowed
Lord Arthur Somerset TO escape, for
political purposes.
Sir Charles Lewis CONSERVATIVE
accused Campbell, Parnell's private
secretary, Of removing the books Of
the league.
A lively passage ensued- Camp
hell declared that he last saw the
books in Liverpool, and, as far as he
knew, the same books had been pro-
duced before the Commission.
Lewis contended tina: every charge
that had been disproved would have
been proved If all the books had
been produced.

ALBANY, Morch 5.-The final
hearing before the Senate committee
on miscellaneous eorpOratiOns this
afternoon Of the weekly payment Of

Of New York claiming TO represent

CaSey, questioning his right to

the committee adjourned and the
crowd filed out into the corridor,
where Curtis Durham, n reporter OF
the New York HOrId, was standing.
The World is advocating the weekly
pay bill, and has strongly criticised
Carsey. Carey spoke 10 Durham
