Paupertsm . Durable Disease.
Professor Richard r. Ely, In North American
Review

In contrast to this FIRST fact of the great mass
of pauperism, we have the second equally indis-
putable fact that IL Is for the most part durable
disease. Wherever there has been any earnest
and intelligent attempt to remedy the evil, the
success has been equal to all the moss sangUyne
could anticipate. ! have read accounts OF many
such attempts to lessen pauperism, and every
thing that have read has confirmed in my mind
the belief that IL is q durable evil few Illus
tratfons out OF . great number at hand must
suffice for present purposes. The Elberfeld sys-
TEN of charitable relief is well known. About
1850 an earnest attempt was made In that city to
deal with the question OF pauperism- At that
time the number of Inhabitants was
5000: Ia 1850 IL was $1,000: but

nifty. In this brief conflict the Prussian
troops marched and fought we'll, and to
the surprise of Europe, they came out of
the contest much more creditabiy than
their Austrian allies.
The Danish war, however, was but an
experiment on a small scale. The real
test came two years later. In 1866 Prussia
stood face to face with the German con-
federation. The time had come to try the
army which Moltke had created, and the

movements that Saxony. Hanover and
Hesse were surprised and overpowered

AT THE Poor FARM. II. Nc
Cormick ,superintendentofthe coun-
ty poor iarm, had quite an expe-
rience with some of his stock on the
ilr.t day of April. 1t seems that
sinlc of his bovines knew IL was "all

barn on that morning he found his
Jersey bull had climbed the narrow
stairs leading from the barn floor to
the hay NOW ten or twelve feet
above. The mystery was how to
get the animal down. The entrance
Was made apparently without much
difficulty, but 10 get down was a
much graver question. 1t was I'M
possible to drive the animal down.
Looking down the stairway into q
poorly lighted barn had to much
the appearance of a we'll to the
dumb brute and it was not inclined
to go that way. After the animal
was blindfolded Mr.. Mccormick
with the assistance of one or two
other persons managed to back him
out of the NOW the way he entered.
Ia addition to this experience one Of
the cows on the farm fell down thC
river bank distance of thirty feet
which resulted in two ribs being
broken and otherwise badly bruis
ed animal.

They dressed in mems attire and
made tour of the city, representing
themselves as tramps. They told a
pitiful story of their hardships. AT a
few places they were kindly received,
at others they had the cool reception
usually extended to tramps.----
On Tuesday night saloon at Inde-
pendence was entered by some per-
son and all the money in the
drawer taken, which fortunately
only amounted to a few dollars. -

Is Not FAILING.-The Pacific
Christian Advocate, of Portland, the
official organ of Methodism in the
northwest, of date, April 1st, has a
we'll written article from Rev. H. X.
Hines on the situation of the Villa
mette university, in answer to an ar
ticle which previously appeared in
the same paper by Rev.M Haworth,
who seemed to think, or at least
desired to give out the impression
that the University was on the
downward road and had reached
the verge of destruction, and her
days of prosperity were over. Some
other persons, who are not ac
quainted with the school and its
condition, have formed similar
opiRion. These are far from the
fact, however much the Portland
school (prospective) may desire it..
Willamette was never in a more
prosperous condition than at present.
The people of Salem would not join
in to aid school in the deplorable
condition that Mr.. Haworth has
pictured the school to be in. 1t is
human nature for people to aid a
move that Is progressive, and not
one that is down.
