who holds his riches in trust for the
benefit of others, az the effective
friend of every humane enterprise,
as the proprietor of one Of the great

the country, conducted strictly upon
the principles Of courtesy and good
sense which regulate the intercourse

the most distinguished persons OF

Mr. George w. Childs, of Philadel-
phia.
The recollections of such life
are necessarily full of interest.
They are especially pleasant, be-
cause they do not associate narrow

and selfish intrigue with success,
but, on the contrary, the open hand
and open heart.
Mr.. Childs, despite bis friendly
relations with royalty aud the no

On the whole, Massachusetts,, the
mother OF public schools, seems not
to be growing wickeder, in spite Of
the degeneracy of modern times and
the great influx Of foreigners to her
boarders in the last twenty-five
years. 1t lie true that in 1868 the
commitments for crime IN that
state we're only to every lib IN
habitants, while in 1885 they were
/ to every 70. But other figures
come in here. In 1865 the COM
mitments for serious crimes against
person aud property were ! to 3Ol
inhabitants. In 1885 they were
only in every 436.
The added number OF arrests IN
1885 we're for offenses against de-
cency and order; in other words,
DRINKS and disorderlies. The cause
Of the increase Of arrests may be
summed up in one word. intemper-
ance. The arrests from this cause
have increased 500 per cent. in the
time named. The Boston Post
says:
"The question Of crime in Mas
sachusetts thus resolves itself into a
question of intcmperance pure and
simple, for it is owing to intemper-
ance alone that there is an increase
of commitments"
In proportion to the population,
crimes other than those arising from
intemperance have actually decreas-
ed 3s per cent. since 1865. But
there is q cheerful view taken even
of the increased arrests from drunk
enness. Mr.. David q. Torrey says
that public sentiment has been
aroused on the subject Of intemper-
ance to such a degree that there
would be arrests from intemperance
now where there would not have
been thirty. five years ago, and this
changed puplic sentiment will ac-
count for many of the additional
commitments.
