The recent annual report of the Local Government Board in Eng land gives the number of paupers relieved as 759, ,730, about one thir- ty-eighth of the population. This may seem a large number, but not only is it less than that reported for many years since 1847, but the ratio has fallen most markedly. Allowing for the growth of popula- ton, had the ratio remained the same as for 1849, the number for 1890 would have been 1,844,50S. The total cost was about 42,000,- 000.-N.Y. Independent.

For the first time in its history, there is deficit in the budget of Hamburg. The ancient Hanseatic city, 1t must be remembered, is one of the federal states of Germany, and is represented in the Bundes- rath, or Federal Council, by man proud of the glorious traditions and history of his native city. In the budget for 1892 the state income is estimated atS3. .321 ,551 marks, while the expenses are estimated at ST. 539.651 marks, leaving a deficit of 3,21S,100 marks. To cover the diff ference the senate has decided to add 20 per cent to the income tax of all inhabitants enjoying a reve- nue of more than 300 marks. As Hamburg is wealthy city, every twenty-eight out of one hundred men will be called upon to assist in getting the financial car in motion. IN. Y. Tribune.

A marsupial mole-Notoryctes typhlops-a species absolutely new to science, has been discovered liv- ing in the sands and among the porcupine grass of South Australia. It is very rare and has been seen by only a few persons, either whitemen or natives. Perpetual burrowing seems to be the characteristic fea- ture of its life. It burrows very rapidly, but is not known to occu- py permanent burrows. The first specimen was captured by MT. Will liam Conetharo, of the Willowie Pastoral Company, and the descrip- ton is by Professor Stirring, of the Universary of Adelaide.-Popular Science Monthly.

The demand for sailing vessels has, of late, shown a marked in- crease both here and abroad in Great Britain, according to Lloyd's Registry. there being now III such craft with a total tonnage of 1885,
 807 under construction against 76 with a tonnage of 80,000 this time last year. Here about the same tendency is manifest. The rate of steamer construction in Great Dri- tain has seen a marked falling off during the year, and though in
 these waters the rate has largely increased. it may easily be traced to favorable legislation rather than to further abandonment of the sailing type,-Seientlfc American.

So far as can be learned no Amer ican Protestant missionaries have come to harm in the outrages and attacks in Ichang and elsewhere in China. The secretaries of the for eign missions of the various denom- nations in Boston have united in a statement, that so far as they have knowledge, no trouble has been experienced by their mission aries in China. Whatever trouble has befallen missionaries has been, they say,among the Belgian, French and Roman Catholic missions. The hostility of the Chinese to the French is thought to have sprung from their interference in Chinese governmental afairs.-Christian Union.

The University of Wyoming To- cated at Laramie, was founded in 1886 by Territorial legislation and a $75,000 building erected. In 1888 a Preparatory School and College of Liberal Arts was opened. Be sides its Academic department and College of Liberal Arts there is a Normal School, Agricultural Col lege, School of Mechanical Engi- neerlng and of Mines and Metal lurgy. It has fine laboratories. Its faculty numbers thirteen professors, all young, active and able men, and the institution is growing rapidly under the presidency of A.A.John- son, D.D., the founder and late president of Fort Worth University Texas. The institution is thorough ly equipped in all departments, is entirely out of debt, and has an an- nual income for current expenses of over S35,00O.

Deputy Brockman of Nogales

Deputy Brockman of Nogales came through Benson Thursday night with two prisoners bound for Tuson. They were apparently quiet enough and contented to go along without any undue persuasion. One of them while sitting along the wall that runs behind the stove in the Virginia hotel, complained of not feeling well, and was at his re- quest allowed to go out into the back yard for a few minutes, just before the train came along. The last seen of the Deputy he was standing on the rear platform of the caboose looking longingly for a glimpse of the slippery sick man who forgot to return" But it was fortunate that he got away as he was only tramp, and a large board bill! was saved to the county, few more such escapes would be a God send to the taxpayers of Pima county.-Prospector.

HGrSe Thieves.

Everybody in this city no doubt
 for the past two years have noticed
 with pride the handsome buggy
 horse which Mir. and Mrs. W. B.
 Childers have been driving. The
 horse was purely buggy animal.
 and was brought to this city by M.
 P. Stamm, who purchased him for
 MT. Childers back in Kansas. To-
 day Mir. Childers is not driving his
 buggy horse, and in consequence there is mourning in the Childers household. Last night, sometime after the mantel of darkness had come to the valley, thief entered the COW stalls in the rear of the resi- dence on west Railroad avenue, and crawIed into the horse through a window and pried the door of the stable open and led the horse out. There were two horses in the stable at the time-a thoroughbred colt, not broken to the saddle, and the buggy horse. They left the thor oughbred colt and took the latter, which action leads The Citizen to believe that the thief was quite ia miIiar with affairs around and in MT. Childer's stable.
 At Zeiger's dairy the thieves call ed and made very pleasant haul. The dairy is located on the east side of the railroad track, on Tiieras road, and is under management of Ohas. Geach. In the adobe stable the horses are kept, and several men who work at the dairy sleep there also. Lastnightsome time be- tween10 o'clock and 4 in the morn ing, an torrance was effected and a sorrel pony and two saddles the pro- pretty of Mir. .Geach, were stolen. Three men were sleeping in an adjoining apartment, with only board par tition between them and the horses, but still the work of the theives was so quiet that the men slept sound ly until aroused this morning to go to work. The thieves had laid gum nysacks down on the floor of the stable for the horse to walk on, and had made other plans for the suc- cessful carrying out of their designs. The night before thieves stole from the dairy several Navajo blankets and Colts 45-caliber revolver, There is DO clue to the thieves, but about a dozen men have been sent out in all directions with instruc- tions to arrest and bring in all sus- picious characters.-Alb. Citizen.

The Chinese cultivated wheat g. 700 years before the beginning of the Christian era, always consider ing 1t as q gift direct from heaven. Scientific agriculturists are of the opinion that it was widely known and cultivated by prehistoric man. At the present time it is the princi- pal bread corn of the leading Eu- ropean nations, ,and is fast supplant- ing the use of maize or Indian corn, in the American States.-Chicago Herald.

A curious funeral was that of Mir. John Underwood, who died at Whit tlesea, England, in 1883. In accor- dance with his wish he was follow ed to the grave by "six persons of clerical taste" "who chanted the last Stanza of an ode from Horace. A copy of Horace was placed under his head, Milton at his feet, small Greek Testament in his right hand, Bentley's Horace in his left, and third Horace under his back.

Dr. Erastus Wiman has been the first to adopt the suggestion made by Alexander Dumas that collec- ton should be taken up a. dinner parties for the benefit of the poor. This was done at a banquet given December 29th in honor of Mir. Gabriel Morton, one of the vice presidents of the Mexican National Railway, by his associates in the Building Loan Assured Association The plan was briefly outlined by MT. Wiman, as soon as the dinner was finished, and was so entnusias tically received that it was difficult to prevent the "diners out" from giving too much, as twenty-five cents was intended to be the limit. The sum total, about twenty-five dollars, was forwarded to Charles D. Kellogg, the general secretary of the Charity Organization Society.

Colorado has II ,O0O miles of ir- rigation canals, covering about 1. : 100000 acres of arabic land. This acreage, properly titled, should pro- duce a revenue of not less than $100,000,000 in agricultural, hor- ticultural and live stock products, in addition to the outputs of mine and factory, and make this State unequaled by any State in the Union.-Denver Arid Lands.

Captain Wilson, of the English war navy, has just invented re- markable implement of war. It is shaped like a large pair of scissors, which he places at the bow, and un- der the water, of his torpedo boats, With this the little boat steams straight for the enemy's big ship, which has the bars with the steel netting down, feeling we'll protected against the attacks of the wicked torpedoes. But Captian Wilson, with his new invention, applies elec- tricity to the scissors, and in a flash the netting is cut and the boat does its deadly work.-Baltimore Ame- rican.
