There has been notable decrease of
pauperism during the last year, due to the
revival in business which has followed re-
sumption of specie payments. We have
taken pains to ascertain the facts in rela-
ton to this matter in this city, and we find
that the number Of persons helped by the
city his year is less than one-third whG IL
waS last year. As in this city, so through
out the State, and in other States, as we
learn from reports in the leading journals
and official sources, there has been large
decrease in pauperism. While the
grcenback organs wall about the poverty
of the country and the destitution of the
laboring class, the country is paying off
its debt, reducing the interest burden, as
tonishing the world with the great and va
ried products of its industry, and the pau
per list is steadily and rapidly on the de-
cline.

1t has been the custom for many years to
publish with the "Acts and Resolves of the
Legislature of Maine list of members and
the payroll, showing the exact sum drawn
by each. We observe that the last legis-
lature failed to publish the payroll. Sec
retary Of State Cove who compiled the
work, has very thoughtfully given us a
list OF members, but he omitted to state
the amounts which they drew from the
State Treasury. Can it be that such a
statement would not make favorable
showing for his greenback friends, and it
was omitted that we might not be able to
see how many reformers drew double
mileage? We ask for an explanation.

The greenbackers employed themselves
at the Davis meeting in Hallowell in dis
tributing circulars containing scurrilous
article upon General Hall, copied from
the Campaign Standard. They also dis
tributed circulars against Sherman in the
Sherman meeting at Augusta. We don't
believe the decent men of the opposition
approve or countenance this method of in
terfering with republican meetings 1t is

CINCINNATI, Nov. 18.-Contrary
to public expectation, the resigna-
ton of Clerk Ambrose was accepted
this morning, to take effect when
his successor shall be appointed.
In making the announcement in
the Circuit Court this morning,
Judge Baxter said: 81 would no4
have concurred in the acceptance if
it could in any way obstruct the
Government or others in the pending
or threatened investigation or in
the prosecution of any civil or
criminal proceedings which such in
vestigation may render necessary.
AS l understand the law, Ambrose
would be equally amenable for
wrongful acts after as before the
acceptance of his resignation. We
have been Informed of criminal pro-
ceedings instituted against Mr..
Ambrose. When tried one or both
of US will be called on to preside.
We ought, therefore, to be as far
removed from preconceived impres
sions as practicable" In refer
ence to giving the investigators
free access to the books and
records for further inves-
tigation, Judge Baxter said
This is not a case for the applica>
ton of technical law. The facts al
ready developed tend to show that
there are others who ought to be
exposed. We think we ought to ac-
cept all the aid teIdered in good

Toiling along with weary step in the
hot sun, an old man found shade and sat
down to rest under a tree which some
kind hand had planted long years before.
Some children watched him from across
the street, wondering if he had no one
to lean on and no home to 60 to.


The wind whispered so softly through
the branches overhead, and the shade
was so cool and refreshing that the old
man slept. He dreamed that he had a
home again, and children played before
the door. He returned from his days
work as of yore, and the little faces were
at the gate to be kissed, and little voices
cried out in glee. Around his table
were wife and sons, and he sat with them
on the porch as the sun went down, and
had heart big with thanksgiving. Then
his dreamed changed. He again sent
his sons to the war, never to see them
again, and he once more stood beside the
coffin of his wife and felt that earth had
no more happiness for him. In his dream
he saw strangers in his home, strange
children at the gate, and he beheld him
self old and poor and forsaken. His tears
fell, and when he awoke be was crying
out in the bitterness of his heart:


Il had better be dead, for no one soul
on earth cares for me


He looked down and there was food at
his feet. The ragged old hat which he
had laid aside had been replaced by a
better one, and inside it was child's
handkerchief and three or four pennies.
Hidden behind the fence across the way
the children noted his amazement and
laughed softly, and he looked up and
down and failed to find them. He
gathered up the things with glad smile,
and MS he rose to go he said:


i know not who it was, but an old man
gives them his blessing


The children watched him as he NOV.

wiped away tear.

The son of Napoleon Ill. is dead,

up spent bullets while the death-knell

victim to his own rashness at the mo-
ment when the republic declares itself
strong enough to intrust its existence to
the keeping Of Paris. The dynasty that
was nursed among the mountains Of Cor
sica comes to an end amid the pathless
wilderness OF South Africa; the boy that
was born in the purple just as the treaty
OF Paris put its seal on the greatness OF
the third empire, and whom all the
world hailed as tho assured successor to
the throne not less firm than the Oldest
in Europe, has gone down with the last
remnant Of the heritage Of the man OF
destiny in skirmish with nameless saw
ages. 1t were tedious to exhaust the

endless to dwell on the bitter irony Of
fate which closes The historical episode
Of Bonapartism. For the fate Of this
generous, brave, and modest young
man, neither the contemporary annalist
nor the future historian can have aught
but pity; over the death Of the cause
which be represented, OF the hopes Of
which he was the source and center; no
