A PoRCUPlNE weighing about
twenty-five pounds was found on
Mills street Tuesday morning, by
Henry Blake, and exhibited on the
streets of the city. The animal was
discovered in a tree and killed with
a club. A dog that was with Blake
was anxious to attempt the capture
but was held back, and so saved
much grief. The quilts which were
not strongly attached to the body
were carried away by citizens who
gatbt red TO view the animal, whose
species is scarce in this locality. It's
quilts are from one-half to three
inches in length. Many old resi-.
dents of this section have never
seen porcupiue, and there is no
end to the gathering of the curious
to view the remains Madison

The other day the president of Wichita (Kansas) bank sent word to a Hartford man that Kansas farmer refused to pay the interest due on a mortgage. The req son the farmer gave was that he had 'joined the alliance and stopped paying his debts" This was published in the Hartford Times and it has made quite stir both in the East and West. Among those who have commented upon the re- mark is Mir. Elder, who was the speaker of the lower house of the Kansas legisla- ture He is reported as saying that 'sthe people were in bad fix and needed to be protected from the money sharks of the East who had been eating them out of house and home;" that while ''he saw that the recent agitation had scared eastern money-Ienders, he had no fear that the farmers would suffer, for the farms could not be sold for the amount of the loans, and the investors did rot want to take the lands;" that "they were not going to foreclose as long as there was any probability of having to buy in the prop erty;" and that Gin other words, the farm CTS could stay on their farms rent free as long as times were hard"
 This is almost as interesting and high toned as the remarks which called it forth. We do not believe that the Kansas farmers whose farms are mortgaged are generally dishonest, but some of them evidently are.

ponderous doors, arched and mullioned windows, great memorial windows, battle mented walls and pinnacled towers, just a bit gloomy, but brave and stout and fine: and flashing into the fancy many a picture of the grim old Elizabeihan times, Its facade stretches a grand distance along High street; and around to the east where its imposing towers look down over the famous School Close, the scene of innu- merable mimic battles, how the ivy has climbed those lofty walls around, between and above, the doors and windows of the masters house, and leaped the very battle ments above in wild and riotous luxuri- ance- Then, strOlling along the Close wall, the eye follows the gray old clumps and projections of the quadrangle; fingers gently upon the lovely chapel beyond: and little by little becomes familiar with this scene and that of boy-struggle, defeat, an ticipation or victory; sweeps with an old time longing over this the granoest play ground in the world; builds around every one of those magnificent old oaks some tragedy of boyhood, achievement of youthtide daring, or tenderer romance of early manhood; and your mans heart grows young again, as times gleaming shuttle flies through the warp and wool of your own half held memories, until ihe eyes dim with a mist. which, to brush away or hide, you turn with thrill of wondrous re-awakening away from beneath the shadows of Rugby.

of my children was down with diphtheria, and the question of his death was simply the problem for few hours to determine. An old colored man, to whom my wife had and saying he had heard of my little one's illness, urged me to try pineapple juice. The old fellow declared that in Louisiana, where he came from, he had seen it tried a million times, and that in each case it had proved effective. So I secured pine, apple and squeezed out the juice. After a while we got some of it down the boys throat, and in short time he was cured The pineapple should be thoroughly ripe. The juice is of so corrosive nature thatit will cut out the diphtheritic mucus. I tell you it is sure cure"

POVERTY VERSUS HEALTH.

Dr. John s. Billings of the army shows very forcibly how poverty is the great cause of low health conditions in cities, the death rate of particular ward or block varying with the poverty of it's in habitants, and the average shortening of life connected with great poverty being from ten to fifteen years. The miserable classes must be looked after for the sake of others, if not on their own account, he says. Dr. Billings says that efficient and systematic prevention is perfectly possible, but we are still pottering with the so- called remedies which are of little use. If it were not for 0 continued stream of new recruits, this population would diminish, since in these districts the deaths usually outnumber the births. One way to prevent accession, says Dr. Bill ings, is to get rid of and prevent additions to the kind of dwellings which these peo- pie seek, and he does not think the plea holds good that they must live some- where, and that there must be such places for such people, ''It is not necessary that any city should allow the existence of such houses within it's limits, and if their de- struction forces some persons into aims houses and drives others away, it will be cheapest and best in the end."
 Dr. Billings finds that the chief reason why reforms are not undertaken in our cities for the removal of the clearly pre- ventable causes of death, disease and heavy annual expense, is because those who have the power do not think it would be to their personal and political advan- tage to do so, their interests lying more in the direction of controlling votes fol elections It is then shown how the bur den of the waste of city funds falls main ly on the daily wage-earners, burden that consists not only in higher prices for shelter and food, and in diminishing opportunities for work, but in sickness of themselves and of their families-ir the loss of the health which is necessary to enable them to earn their subsistence.

PRINCES AND Us

The spectacle of the next hereditary
ruler Of England III the witEcss-box testi-
fying to the particulars Of a gambling
quarrel, in which he was participant, has
been presented TO the English nation. 1t
can hardly fail to inspire profound cogita-
lions in the minds of that portion of the
English public WHO regard morality as a
matter of any Importance.
a striking feature of the Prince of
Wales testimony is that it amounted to a
declaration that he had violated the En-
giisn law The laws IN England are exceed
ingly strict against gambling, and there is
an especial enactment against that purely
gambling game which furnished the oppor-
t.4iity for the present quarrel. The Eli
glish law, however, is as mute when it
comes into collision with the practices of
royalty and aristOcracy as our law is when
Its enforcement might interfere with the
peucy Of corporation magnates. CoHse-
c-lently there is 10 more idea, when the
future King of England testified that he
ig:'c-ed edicts against gambling, of main
tanning the laws against him than there is
wen corporation IN the United States

STATESMEN AND INTERVIEWERS.

1t is again brought to public attention
either that the statesmen are indiscreet or
the reporters exceedingly mendacious.
The latest victims of the interviewers are
ingalls, and Grcsvenor. They have lately
been credited in print with remarks not OF
the most discreet character; and both now
come forward and declare they did not
make them
1t is undoubtedly exceedingly pernicious
for'the wicked reporters to put remarks in
the mouths Of eminent men without due
authority. On the other hand, if the emf
ncnt men did in a moment of haste
say things they might wish unsaid, it
is very small work to get out of it by
laying the blame on the bad reporters. The
remedy for the situation seems to be for
the public men to put paddock on their
mouths or to insist on having the inter
views written out and submitted to them
for revision, according to the style of the
Congressional Record.

A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE.

The last change in the public debt state
mCnt indicates a further abandonment of
the financial policy which constituted one
of the strongest features of past admins
t-ations. The statement of total debt,
less cash in the Treasury, shows an increase
during the past month on account of the
reduction of the cash balance. Conse-
ouently the statement contains an addi-
tional item representing a decrease of
s, 200, 900
While this may be valuable and proper
feature in a public debt statement, its
adoption at this especial juncture has a
peculiar and unfortunate significance.
FOR nearly a generation the Republican
party has correctly claimed the credit of a
,eduction-if the deduction CT cash in the
Treasury produced that showing-whether
there was an actual reduction of bonded
debt or not. If that proposition was
correct, as we think it was, then its con-
verse must be true that, if the expenditures
by depicting the cash balance produce an
increase of net debt, the fact that certain
bonds were retired cannot break the force
OF the adverse showing. 1t will hardly do
to MAKE the rule work one way and then
when it gives sisns Of working the other
to change it.
1t is to be conceded that Il is legitimate
to inform the public each month how much
of the bonded debt has been retired. But
to introduce that as new feature at this
time indicates a conviction that we have
reached the period when the statement of
'fdebt less cash in the Treasury" can no
louger be relied upon to make favorable
showing

THE ARAB IMMIGRATION.


The latest undesirable immigration is in
the shape of Arabs, who might probably be
more correctly classified as Syrians. 1t
seems to have become matter of common
report in that country last year that
peddlers and beggars of the Oriental type
have great field of labor in this country.
Some hundreds of them came last summer,
and this year the immigration has set in
with greater force. The Custom House
authorities have rather tardily got their
eyes open, and are now sending the Arabs
back.
The experience had with the attempt to
check italian and Slav immigration does
not leave us ground for firm faith that the
legal barrier will prevent the country from
being overrun by Moslem beggars. There is
better cure for this evil in the eturn to the
old law of making professional mendicancy
q misdemeanor and providing the mendi-
cants with enforced labor. Every COM
munity has the local authority to put such
a law in force. If the immigration of
character which comes here to beg or sub
sist on the public charities grows to a large
volume, each section could find work for it
In making good roads until the immigrants
perceived the necessity of finding work for
themselves.
Moreover, If such rule were put gen.
orally in force, it is certain that the fame
of it would eventually reach ASia Minor
and put full stop to the Oriental disposi
ton to come to this country as first-class
field for begging.

sided subject, we had arrived at the con-
clusion that the ebroad-reaching geniality and

permit him to be anti-anything. A close an

clusion that he is Jeffersonian Democrat
in abstract theory, and the intimate friend

Nevertheless, the esteemed Post may be right,
and this classification will stand until the
