In the opinion of the Chicago Herald
"the criminal art gallery is the worst
fruit that has been produced by grating
civilization on barbarism. It is bad
enough to have the portrait of convict
ed felon placed on exhibition for all the
world to see, even after he shall have
expiated his crime by serving his term
of Imprisonment. If he should desire to
return to honest life the ineffaceable
lines of his countenance in the pictures
o. the rogues' gallery are standing and
damning imputation against him.
Either there should be no rogues' gal
lery, or every rogue, whether under po-
lice protection or not, should have a
place in the spectacular display of por-
traits ~

Charles Mohr, of the United States
Forestry Bureau, has an article in the
Engineering Magazine, which demands
the attention of Southern Legislators. He
says stupendous as the timber resources
of the South appear, it can but be evi-
dent to anyone conversant with the facts
that we have entered already upon an era
involving their complete extinction, and
he wildly points out the threatening cal
antilles that will follow the disappearance
of our forests, not only in the extinction
of one of the South's important indus
tries, but in the climatic changes that are
already, perhaps, beginning to make
themselves felt.

MORNING OF THE DISCOVERY.

Immortal Morn, all hail,
That saw Columbus sail
By faith alone.
The skies before him bowed,
Back rolled the ocean proud,
And every lifting cloud
With glory shonei
Fair Science then was born
On that celestial morn,
Faith dared the sea,
Triumphant DER her foes
Then Truth immortal rose
New Heavens to disclose
And Earth to free!
Strong Freedom then came forth
To liberate the earth
And crown the right.
So walked the pilot bold
Upon the sea of gold,
And darkness backward rolled
And there was hghti
Sweep sweep across the seas,
Ye rolling jubilees
Grand chorals raise:
The world adoring stands,
And with uplifted hands
Offers from all the lands
To God its praise!
Ye hosts Of Faith, sing on;
The victories ye have won
Shall time increase,
And like t g choral strain
That fell on Bethlehem's plain,
Inspire the perfect reign
or Love ana Peacei

Persons who are inclined to take a
gloomy view of pauperism and crime in
New York, would do well, suggests the
News, of that city, to glance at the Of
fetal reports of the municipality of Lon
don. The two years ending January l.,
1891, the date of the last biennial re.
port, the cost of maintaing the paupers
of London was 2,340, 900, the equiva-
lent of about 81, 100000. During the
two years there were 100, 748 criminal
convictions. While these figures show
that the percentage of crime and pauper-
ism IN London greatly exceeds that OF
New York, the same report indicates a
much lower percentage of attendance in
the public schools.

Every one that has observed the treat
ment of private soldiers in European ar
mics knows how like cattle they are re-
garded. Not long ago, relates the Buff
ialo Courier, a saddle race was arranged
between officers of the Austrian and
Prussiau armies, the course lying from
Vienna to Berlin. A number of horses
were killed in this trial of endurance.
Recently the Austrian Government has
been drilling soldiers in the field, with
the thermometer at eighteen below zero,
IN order to test the relative endurance of
the Austrians, Hungarians, and Poles in
tue service. In determining tins point
to the satisfaction of the Government,
1144 soldiers had their hands or feet
badly frozen. These things are not likely
to lessen the stream Of emigration to
America.
