cause they were too destitute to pay for it. In five of those cases

it was the opinion of the physician

making the post mortem examination that proper medical assistance would have sp.ved life. Yet in this place more money is paid to support politicians, more to support constables, more to aupport rum, than all the other townB in the county spend. There are over three hundred rum shops in the town, one to every eight persons, and yet the town cannot support its own poor. A poor woman, houest, industrious and temperate, but sick, was allowed but two dollars a week for aix weeks to purchase all the necessaries of life—coal, food, raiment— for herself and four small children, and this only after a well known physician had personally appealed to the Town Poor Commissioners. In instances where the poor ask for a doctor a doso of castor oil or a box of cheap pills is sent.

Tnr, indulgence of

prejudice is al

ways an expensive luxury, to nations

as well as individuals. When the war between France and Prussia broke out, Austria—remembering the agen

cy of Napoleon in driving her from

Italy—resolved on and maintained a neutrality which has proved equiva

lent to moral support of Prussia. England, seeking temporary advantages for her commercial interests, still

cherishing something of hor centu-ries-old prejudice against Frauce, aud largely influenced by her Queen's family alliances in Gormany, also held tho position of a placid looker-on, while France—tho only Power whose mat^Vial interests would make her England's alley in maintaining existing conditions in the East—has been completely prostrated. These two neutrals have enjoyed the gratification of tbeir stupidity aud revengeful prejudice?, and uow the costs are to be paid. Prussia dominates the continent, a victorious giant, with a rapacious appetite for further conquests. The Austrian sovereign at length undcrstandg ttoe effect oi' his policy, and calls loudly upon his people and Par liamcnt for largely increased armaments, in preparation foroventnalities, dangerous to the very existence of the natioo, and liable to arise at any moment. England, too. is no longer able to feel safe in her sea-girt isles and the Queen, in her npeesh the other day, urgop h"er faithful Lords and Com toons to provide a new and more ef« fieient military system, by which the defensive resources of the empire may be made available in emergencies already foreshadowed, and not likely to be averted.

AN acrobat called D'Atalio,

was some

man with the iron jaw, time ago arrested in Philadelphia for brutally treating a child he had with

him. lie gave bail and then" fled, leaving the child behind him. The little fellow's head aud body were completely covered with welts, scars and cuts inflicted upou him by this D'At alie and an equally brutal woman who traveled in company with him. The child says that be is seven of age, and that, he was stolen from his parents in London by D'Atalic seven months ago.

Thero is one way of punishing such brutes. They depend upon tho public favor for their living, and when a case like this occurs, tho press should give it such notoriety as to render it unsafe for the cowardly child-torturer to show his facc before an American audience. We cheerfully recommend D'Atalie, the man with the iron jaw," to the attention of our coteniporaries.

The Amount of oiirl'ublic Debt—Mar Claims. We have always maintained that the

real deb: of the United States is far larger than that which is indicated in Treasury Reports as tho esact figure. Only the ajnount of the bonds has

boen there taken into account. There are hundreds of millious of dollars of

claims by private citizens for property taken by the United States Government for its use, that we are in equity ns much bound to pay, yea, much more than we are the bonds. The

holders of the bond portion of the debt and their subsidiary allies in and out of Congress hive opposed the payment of the claim part of the debt, not because it is not just and honest so to do, but because it would make the total debt so large that none of it would be paid be repudiated.

The grandeur of Prussia dates not from Sadowa, but from Jena and it is her disaster? which have been the principle of her regeneration. Ah! we'll a now France will date from Sedan, and she will be regenerated, if it must be so, from the ashes 0? Paris. I have uo doubt on this point. The only fear I have is that, through the fault of Prussia, this France wili have but one passion— hatred but one object—vengeance. Ah! the most frightful spectacles of war ore not upon the fields of battle. I meet them at the domestic hearth I see French mothers, in their patriot ism, pressing their children to their bosoms, and saying to them in trembling accents, 'My son, you must hate tho Prussians.' A people nourished in such sentiments is a redoubtable neighbor. The new German Empire will find this out ono day. In any case, war will become epidemic on the Continent, aud the second half of the century. which seemed called to inaugurate the era of peace, will end in more bloody struggles and sadder convulsions that those which marked the bebeginning.'"

Carl Benson's Views.

Carl Benson, writing from Wash

ington to the Field and Farm, presents the following views as to the re

sult of the Franco-German war to Europe aud civilization generally 1. Some time ago I hinted that one cause of the Prussian success wastheir being a fresh horse. They had been training for years and years, without exhaustiog themselves by actual conflict. This can be said of them no longer, for they aro not unscathed themselves, and tbeir subject-allies, the Bavarians, Saxons, etc., have been fearfully cut up, which may, perhaps, be some slight security for the peace of Europe, or some detriment to the Germans in their next war.

farming is now a regular

branch of industry at the Cape Good Hope, where the bird has re sdy become a member of the '-fancy

The inclosure in which these birds are kepi is from fifteen to twenty acres in extent, and is surrounded by a low stone wall, over which the foolish could easily step, but never think of doing so. A similar kind of stupidity is characteristic of the wild turkey of this continent. The commonest kind of trap for these birds is simply a little cabin made of logs, with a low doorway. The turkeys enter this to get at the sheaf of wheat with which it is baited, but it never by any chance occurs to them that the doorway can be used for an exit as well as for an entrance, and the trapper finds them trying to get out at the roof of the hut when he arrives. The ostrich eggs in the Cape establishment are hatched by means of oil lamps. The most valuable feathers furnished by the birds arc the long white ones that grow from tho wings. These are worth from S150 to $200 by the pound. An ostrich in good plumage is worth form §80 to £100, and a skillful hunter will kill as many as seventy or eighty of them in a season.

He is be. lieved to have taken him to the army of the Rhine from a dread of being „,. separated from him in any great dis- ^share of his pastorage and pasturage. r.n1it ti*l-i jan ilia »nm fl To tlllS gCnerOUS HUd COnfidlOg pi'OpOition she gave a favorable answer, and

This is not the only proof however, of the Emperor's opinions as to the I results of the campaign ho was theni[ entering upon. When the Tuileries had been iavaded after the proclama tion of the Republic, the absence of many things known to have been thereformerly showed what measures had been taken. The so called jewels of the Crown had all been deposited in the Bank of France, but not a single piece of jewelry belonging personally to the Empress was to be seen. The Empress was supposed to have taken all away, but then the silver plate bad also disappeared. The magnificent gold and silver table services presented to the Emperor by the Sultan, the Czar, Alexander, and the Viceroy of Egypt were all gone. The splendid cradle of the Prince Imperial, presented' by the town of Lyons, was also not to be found. The magnificent collections of treasures of art which Napoleon had accumulated at the Palaces of St. Cloud and Compeigne were also no longer to be seen. All these bad been removed long ago. From the very day when war had been declared, the railway stations of the Nord, of Stras bourg, and of Orleans (or Spain) were crammed with .gigantic boxes bearing away to various destinations the personal'' property of the Imperial family, and one cannot help asking oneself how it is that nothing of this has found its way to public notice.

utterly lost, and that he took command of his corps with the heavy heart of a soldier who knew that his future was ruined. Those who knew of bis conversation accused McMahon of "antiquity." When he arrived at Paris he was closeted for hours with the Emperor, aud frankly told him his opinion. The accusations became still stronger, and the postponement of Napoleon's departure for twelve days .^-the consequence of this conversation—was attributed solely to the Em- 1 pcror's illuess. The Empress herself! did not apparently share tho Emperor's ideas. At the farewell family dinuer

at St, Cloud, she arranged with the I

chef de musique of the Grenadiers de la Garda to play the Marseillaise," as an agreeable surprise to the Emperor and it was only when she saw the Emperor turning quite pale that she stopped the music and burst into tears. At that moment she seems to

was sweeping down upon theiu like the wiud. A collision seemed inevitable. The frightcued fireman shouted, "Good bye, Doc I am going jump," and sprang from the locomotive. Simmons stood with his hand upon tl'.e throttle of his engine like a man of iron. In the face of startling peri! he remembered his duty, and stood at his post. A collision wa.- averted, and the heroic engineer saved

lives of a hundred men. On Monday night David Simmous was driving his engine toward Albany at the rate of forty miles an hour. Near New Hamburg a light was swung out as from an approaching train. The engineer saw it. It was the signal of danger. David Simmons whistled down the brakes in the vain hope 01" stopping the express in time. His fireman again took the alarm, and shouted to Simmons to leap for life. The noble Simmons calmly answered,

I wont I'll stay with my engine. Again, he stood like a mau of iron at his post. The fireman sprang and saved his iife. The engineer saw a train 011 the bridge. He realized that his only hope of safety was to dash through the obstrut tion. He whistled off the brakes, and crowded on all of his steam. This was the work of an instant- Simmons peered into the darkness, shading his eyes with his hand, and was dashed into the jaws of death.

David Simmons was a hero. IIis fate is sad but his nobl£ behavior is the only bright page in the dark history of the awful accident at New Hamburg.—X. 1'. Sun.

The imperial government of Gen. Grant, is apparently looking ahead for trouble. The effort contemplated

to keep its master in the White House without thcasseut of the people, is ex-

con- uieet residence, as it ought any and will. Hence we have a proposition for a new batch of bastilles from the Attorney General He says

I "It is a question well deserviug the attention of Congress whether the government of the United Slates should not now provide its own penitentiaries instead of being dependent upon the

States in so important a mutter, When the number of the United States prisoners was small, aud transportation was difficult and expensive, it was con-

lice of £an?as Cli for liie ur 03e of

venient to use the penitentiaries of! lie. Motto.-Good work nnd mor

This is the plausible reason assigned I for the idea advanced, but the hone?t I motive for it is the ability to imprision as many of the Democracy as may
