AN 1CEBEKCJ 3IANUFACTOUY. WTiere the Bergs Com frrom, How They Grow, and Their llate of Movement. New Vcrk Pun. Saiiora in the North Atlantic never saw bo many icebergs and such large field of lloeice impeding ve9ela on the transatlantic ronte at during the months of last fcnmmer. Many ice-lields and enormous bergs were met some 'distance south ot their usual limit of drift. It is not likely that this superabundance was due to a more prolilic creation of ice bergs in Greenland than usual, for the ice product from the immense fiords is believed to be quite uniform in quantity from year to year. The extraordinary prevalence of icebergs was dee rather to winds and currents, which were unusually favorable for the rapid transportation of Greenlaud ice southward. Icebergs which in ordinary seasons line the northerly coasts of west Greenlaud were brought down in annsual masses into tho broad ocean. It is only within the past few years that we have acquired much information with regard to the prodnctiou of icebergs in Greenland. Since the Danes undertook their careful observations they have learned many things about this interesting phenomenon. The nords down which these ice rivers dow are ver3 numerous, and only a few of the more important ones have been investigated. The most northern of the large glaciers that have been studied by the Danes is that which issues xrom the great n'ord of Angpadlartok, near the Danish colony of Upernavik. It was found in the month of August that the central portion of this glacier moved toward th6 sea at the enormous rate of ninety-nine feet every twenty-four hours. At another part nearer the side of the glacier the daily movement was fiftyfive feet. The front edge of this irlacier. at its highest point, was 349 feet high. Observations at the same glacier in April showed that it then had a rate of speed in the central portion of thirty -three feet a day. and the height of the glacier edge at that time was 204 feet. These observations were made at the main glacier. The fiord has many little arms, through some of which offshoots of the main glacier empty into the sea some ways from the main mouth of the fiord. Tho most important facts here learned related to the extraordinary swiftness of the glacial movement, and to the great difference in speed in d liferent months, the motion in August being 09 feet a day, and in April only 33 feet. This difference in speed has been observed also at other glaciers, but in a less degree, and some of the glaciers seem to have an almost uniform rate of speed at all seasons of the year. Since the glaciers are hemmed in on both sides by high land, their speed at the outer edges, on account of f riotiou, is considerably less than in the central part. Observations at the five principal glaciers gave the following results with regard to speed: The glacier of Jakobshavn. according to observations made in July. March and Apiil, moves at the rate of from 52 to C2 feet a day; Torsukatak, 1G to S3 feet; Karajak, J2 to as feet; Itivdharsuk, 46 feet in April and 21 to 28 feet in May: Angpadlartok, S3 feet in April and 09 feet in August. From these data it has been possible to arrive at an approximate ' idea of tho amonut of ice launched into the sea annually from each of these liorilt. The fiord of Jakobshavn annually sends into the sea a piece, of ice about two miles wide, over three miles long, and from bCO to 1,000 feet thick. The ice yield of Torsnkatak is about four miles wide, one or two miles long, according to the swiftness of movement at various seasons of the year, and from 600 to WW feet thick. The icebergs? from this fiord are broken off very frequently from the advancing ice stream, and are, therefore, not, very large. Karajak yields annually a volume of ice about three xnilos wide and from ooe aud a half to two miles long, with a height of SO0 to 1,000 feet. The yield from Itivdliarsnk is two miles wide, from one and a half to two miles long, and COO to 800 feet thick. Augpadlartok yields annually a piece of ice at least four mile3 long, two miles wide, and from GOO to 1,000 feet thick. While these are the principal glaciers of the part of the coast which has been examined, the sea receives an mormon tribute from tho lesser ice streams, which have as yet received little attention. The statistics of these five glaciers, therefore, are merely an indication of the enormous capacity of Greenland as an iceberg manufactory. AVlien it is remembered that tluse ice streams, large as thev are, nre accompanied by a great deal of water, it will be t seen that, according to its size. Greenland' sends into the sea as large a volume of water as any other part of the world. The size of the icebergs is dependent on the nature of the a bottom where the ice is pushed into the sea. If the slope of the bed is very gradual the ice river may pnsh a considerable distance out into the water before it is broken off, and the result is the stupendous icebergs, as large as small islands, that lloat far south into the track of transatlantic steamers. If, however, the slope of tho sea-bed is quite steep where the ice leaven the fiord, the weight of the ice soon breaks a. pieco from the edge of the mass, and thus smaller icebergs are created. HANNIBAL HAMLIN "IX EARNEST." How He Obtained an Office for a Frteud iu the Days of the War. Portland (Me.) Press. Hannibal Hamlin has been out of the United States Senate a good many years, but there are still mauy people about Washington who like to tell a good storv of him. An old Maine man told one of these stories the other day. It was in the the days of the war and Mr. Hamlin was backing Mr. A. for a place in the government service. The appointment was all listed; but at the last moment Secretary Welles interfered and had a man from his own State put into the place. Mr. A. went to Mr. Hamlin in great trouble. I do not care to antagonize Secretary Welles." said the Vice-president, 'so I gness I will let this go and get you another place. Is there any position in the Postoflice Department that you want!" Mr. A. considered a moment, and then said: "Yes. 1 should like a place as special agent." A11 right, call a hack," was Mr. Hamlin's energetic response. It was then 9 o'clock at night, but they drove at once to the residence of Montgomery Blair, who was Postmaster-general. MrBlair was at home, and seemed highly pleased to see the Vice-president. Mr. Hamlin stated briefly that Mr. A. wanted a place as special agent. Mr. Blair was very gracious, would be highly pleased to do anything ho could for Mr. Hamlin's friend, and thought that he could do something, but there were no vacancies, and if Mr. A. would bring his papers around the next day thev would be put on file, aud when there should be a vacancy Mr. A. would probably be appointed. Mr. A. was about to express his gratitude, when the Vice-president, who had been listening with an expression black as a thunder-cloud, broke in, "I am on Mr. A.'s papers, and to-morrow will not do. He wants the position, and he wants it now." Why, Mr. Hamlin, you talk as if you were in earnest."stammered the astonished Postmaster-general. "Of course 1 am in earnest. Do you suppose I would come here with Mr. A. at this time of night if I were not!" "Well, let Mr. A. come around to the Poatofilee Department to-morrow morning and I will have his commission ready for him." replied the Postmaster-general, now thoroughly convinced that when Hannibal Hamlm wanted an offico for a man he was going to have it. Railroad Management In the West Harper's Weekly. A thousand miles further west, on one of the leading railroad systems, no repairs have been made on the road-bed or equipment for a long time. In consequence, the days which nass without a wreck are the exception. They are of so common occurrence as to occasion little comment. The interesting feature for ns in connection with them is that these wrecks are usually occasions for wholesale looting on the part of the employes. Those who can reach the scene load up with the scattered merchandise and carry it away with them. All hands help themselves, taking everything portable, from rare silks to plug tobaccos. On this road all manner of stealing is doue so openly that it is said among railroad men, not ironically, but as a statement of fact, that an honest man ''cannot hold his job" there. He would certainly feel lonel3'. An experienced railroader who began work for this company as a brakeman was twice offered a train and refused to take it, feeling sure that each rotteuness could Dot last.

and that a new management would make a clean sweep among the employes. Upon inquiry, however, he learned that this state of affairs had existed for three years. That the climax of bad management has been reached on this line is painfully shown by such instances as these: A transcontinental fruit train washeldatadivision station five hours waitingfor a conductor to takeitout; conductors are frequently two weekh behind in their remittances; one conductor turned in but one cash faro in five weeks that oue because tho passeliger announced his intention of trying to get it refunded by the auditor; at one of the heaviest commercial points on the system shippers are obliged to bribe the switchmen to the extent of five dollars per car to get their merchandise to warehouse within a week after its arrival in the yards. IN TIIE WHITE-CAP COUNTRY.

Something About the Mysterious Hand That Terrorizes a Portion of Indiana. Coin m tut (Ind.) Letter in Chicago Times. Your correspondent has just completed a week's stay in the center of the White Cap district of Indiana. These midnight violators of the law are unlike those of other States similarly afflicted, in that they cannot be named or located, and are the chief of all cowards. One travels through this half-mountainous section for miles without seeing any indications of prosperity or public enterprise. A newly-painted residence would be almost as much of a curiosity in this section as would a og cabin in Michigan avenue, Chicago. A daily newspaper is a thing unknown. The dwellings are principally round or hewed logs, and the occupants have the appearance of those who, in early days, occupied such buildings as a matter of necessity rather than choice. The origin of the White Cap outrages in Indiana was back in the sixties, but the perpetrators were thon known as "regulators," and while their acts were then, as now, unlawful, they bore some good results, a thing unknown in the history of the White Caps. It was then that the Archer brothers, the Reno brothers and a band of colored desperadoes were run down and banged by these regulators. Since that time the men engaged in those violations of law have grown old. and many have died. Their sous took the name of White Caps, and for the last ten years they have terrorized the communities where they operated. A stranger would grow old in attempting to find a citizen in Crawford or Harrison counties that would be willing to impart any information on the subject A deathlike silence is the only result of an attempt to get a native to talk of White Caps. One is sometimes impressed with the idea that the person sought to be interviewed' has nothing to tell, while at other times an expression of fear or guilt can be seen in the countenance. That the White Caps in this State belong to the laboring class in the country there can be but little doubt. The best reason for this belief is that when the farming season is on but few, if any. deeds in that line is reported, but when the crops are gathered and work is slack the work of these "reformers" begins, and for barbarism has no equal in civilization. The work of the outlaws is at night, when honest country people sleep, and, strange as it may appear, one of tho latter class is usually a victim to the midnight prowlers. Christmas night in the southern part of Harrison county the latest of these outrages took place. John Crosby and his family were the victims. About midnight Mr. Crosby was awakened by a violent knock on his door. On answering the summons he was seized by three masked men and dragged into the yard. A dozen or more entered the dwelling and compelled the remainder of the family to leave in their night clothing while a snow-storm was raging. The family consisted of the wife, two sons, and the wife's sister, who were all bound to trees and given fifty lashes, the snow being stained with blood from the wonnds intlicted. Mr. Crosby was left unconscious. The bloody work being ended the masked men went to a house some miles away, occupied by a man named Schofer, and ordered hira to give this information throughout the neighborhood at ouce. They then rode away.. Crosby will likely die. Talleyrand In Private Life. Paris Dispatch in London Daily Tcletrraph. A Parisian journal has questioned the Marquis de Castellaue, grandnephew of Prince de Talleyrand, concerning tho memoirs which the Due de Broglie is shortly to publish. The Marquis said the memoirs of his greatuncle would not perhaps satisfy public curiosity. He had read them, but did not consider himself justified in divulging any of . ths secrets they contain, for the public should read them without its judgment having been previously influenced by indiscretion. The t Marquis, nevertheless added: "Psychologists and men of the world will find as great satisfaction in thatmonnment of history ns diplomatists. The private man is very often shown beside the politician. Especially the first volume will divnlge a Talleyrand whose existence is scarcely suspected by most people tender, attached to his family, biought up' by his old Grandmother at Chalais, far from the agitation of towns. Those who take pleasure in conjuring up old times will learn what the position of a great and respected lady, surrounded by her country people, really was; how, through a lameness caused 'by an awkward nurse, an heir was changed into a second son and a future colonel into a priest. The manner in . which a future statesman was educated a hundred years ago, the apprenticeship of indifference in politics, and the worship of the country will all appear in a strong light to the eyes of the curious. Tho private man. such as. aocording to what people pretend, the Prince De Talleyrand never was, will appear constantly in the four volumes about to be published. It is a great mistake to represent the author of these memoirs as merely stiff and formal; no one possessed more good nature and simplicity. I have heard it said by all those who lived around him that the word charm was invented for him. 2fo one loved his friends and family better than he. To convince one's self of the truth of this, it is enough to visit the places where he lived, and to see with what affection his memory is cherished." Discrimination in Immigration. Tlenry Cabot Lodge, in Xorth American Review. The qnestion therefore arises and there is no more important question before the Anierican people what shall be doue to protect our labor against this undue competition, nnd to guard our citizenship against an infusion which seems to threaten deterioration? We have the power, of course, to prohibit all immigration, or to limit the number of persons to be admitted to the country annually, or which would have the same effect to impose npon immigrants a heavy capitation tax. Such rough and stringent measures are certainly neither necessary nor desirable if we can overcome the difficulties and dangers of the situation by more moderate legislation. These methods, moreover, are indiscriminate; and what is to be desired, if possible, is restriction which shall at the same time discriminate. We demand now that immigrants snail not be paupers, or diseased, or criminals, but these and all other existing requirements are vague, and the methods provided for theirenforcement are still more indefinite and are perfectly ineffective. Any new law, to be of use, mnst require, in the first place, that immigrants should bring from their native country," from the United States consul or other diplomatic representative, an effective certificate that they are not obnoxious to any of the existing laws of tho United States. We ought, in addition, to make our-test still more definite by requiring a medical certificate, in order to exclude unsound and diseased persons. s The Cure for Anarchy. Toledo Commercial. European advices bring the information ,that the German government has taken the initiative toward calling a conference to consider the establishment of an international system of protection against anarchist outrages. Among tho subjects mentioned for the consideration of the conference are extradition for political murders and the limitation of present rights of asylum. This is a move in the right direction. But a still better preventive of anarchy is the cultivation of more respect for government aud making governments more respectable. Remove the wrongs of government and the food on which anarchy thrives will be destroyed. Tim wonder of the age Salvation Oil, for twenty-live cents a bottle. It kills all pain.

Interesting Letter from a Colored Minister Queer Cntoiui and Strnntje Dretfte. Atlanta tGa.) sp clal to 8L Lun.t Ctlle-lf mocrat. Rev. W. H. Shepperd, an intelligent colored preacher, who recently went from Georgia to the Congo Independent State, has written a letter, dated Dec. 1, iu which he describes a two-hundred-mile tramp through the country. He says: . 1 was securing carriers for a trip into the interior east by way of Kmgunge to the Kassa river. There are seventy thousand carriers on either side of the river. They are the only means of transportation for the country's prodnce, its tteamers, proyis-; ions, etc, till tho 'steamer to run on land'comes (the railway.) 1 ate and slept in the home of the Bacangosand saw their worship, marriages, burials, etc I bought three idols, besides spears, knives and other curiosities in one of their towns. A roan whose body was half black and half white told me the one who had bewitched him had been buried alive. There is a custom far away up the river that when a king dies many slaves, as well as his wives, are massacred, so that they may go with the king to the land of spirits. One end of a rope is securely tastened to a strong, pliable limb of a tree, the other end is pulled down and fastened to the head of the victim, who kneels beneath the tree with his hands and feet tied. The executioner then steps forward, and with one powerful blow from his hideous knife he severs the head of the victim from the body; the head is sent tossing into the air; it is picked up and with others boiled and put in pots to decorate the grave of the dead chief. After seven days' rambling through tho jungles and over mountains, and holding palavers, I secured tweuty-tive strong men and started with them for Stanley Pool. I ' stayed at Luknnga tbree days. The A. B. M. U. has a large native church. I stood by the river with hundreds of natives while ten were being baptized. The candidates didn't need to retire to a room to change their wet garments, for the heat of the sun soon dried the little pieces of cloth. In Africa, as in other countries, they have peculiar styles of dress. Down on the coast they wear plenty of clothes. Up the Congo . one hundred miles a piece of cloth the breadth of three fingers is worn. On the upper river a few strings of beads only. Far away up the river a smile only. I was present when a native brought to a missionary a little afflicted child to sell for brass wire (the curreucy.) On being ro-' fused be went toward the river with his barter, the place to which they all go to get rid of afflicted childreu. Such is the inhumanity of the people without Christ. , At the state station here (Luknnga) they are throwing up barracks and getting their soldiers in trim for a possible invasion by the Portuguese Before reaching the Ukese river 1 saw the skeletons of four native men who had died or had been killed while en route for Stanley Pool, at this river. I inquired about a sick man whom I had previously passed, and was told that he had gone into the bush. 1 fully suspected that he must have fallen a victim to some ravenous beast. I passed a Roman Catholic Iiriest who had been dead only a few hours, le was en route for the Kassai river. Early in October the carriers brought jn another priest, who had died at a place tbree days distant. White men dying on the road are never left there. The faithful carriers make a hammock of palm fronds and bring them in immediately: their goods, too watches, brass-wire and other barter goods are equally safe in the hands of the carriers, and are turned over to the state. My caravan halted at the Furoaagombe market to buy food. These markets are held every fourth day. Here I met 1 ipno Tasso, his staff and a few of his many wives. He was tipsy and hundreds were sitting around him drinking palm-wine and making merry. Here 1 was shown the dead body of a man stuck npon a thirtyfoot pole and the barrel of a gnn driven into the ground the punishment this King inflicted upon the man for bringing his gun into the market but that law is now void: and every man can now buy his old flintlock for one hundred brass rods (Si.) 1 In the palaver house of another king I saw three large cannon. This king has vowed by bis gods to make it warm for the "land steamer" (railway) if it comes within his reach. Before leaving the market I bought venison, chicken and eggs. They had here almoet everything for saledrums, 6 pears, swords, bows and arrows, guns, powder and knives, tusks of ivory, ivory horns, buffalo and antelope horns, wooden idols, gourds, pots, mugs, basins, hatchets, hammers, axes, anklets, bracelets, sheep, goats, pigs, ducks, chickens, eggs, kassava mats, palm fiber, sage, palm wine, beans, millet, bananas, pineapples tobacco pipes, baskets, fish, pumpkins, po tatoes, bellows, anvils, etc. After march4 ing two hours more 1 had dinner. I told my boy, Kibo-Ka, to get soft-boiled eggs When he came he said all was ready but, the eggs. He said "they had been boiling half an hour, but I don't think they are boiled soft yer." Just before I reached Stanley Pool I had an nnpleasant experience with 'drivers.'' They are always on the move. They travel by millions, and drive everything before them; tho missionary and native alike must leave the house when they come, whether it be day or night. All kinds of insects, lizards and even chickens are devoured by these voracious ants, which are a little larger than our largest black ants at home. The elephant is driven to madness when, these ants get nphis trunk. Upon reaching' th9 pool we began to make final arrangements for the trip, but the carriers, being told by the Batekes that for three days they would fiud no water, refused to go on at any price, and therefore we returned to their town. THE KING SNAKE-CHARMER. Catching IJeadly Reptiles in Florida for Exhibition' at the Columbian Exposition. Jacksonville Special. i' . At 20 West State street, this city, resides Silas Foman. a copper-colored fellow about five feet eight inches, in height, broadshouldered and open-laced. He is a good dresser and is proud ol his collar and curl's and belts of rattlesnake skins. The house in which Foman resides is unpretentious, and there is nothing about it that euggests it is the residence of the most famous snake-charmer iu the world, and that in the rear yard is one of the finest collections of poisonous ''creepin' " things in America. In stout-constructed cages are magnificent rattlesnakes, huge moccasins, the deadly zepher and the vicious coachwhip, besides scores of less prominent members of the serpent family. Foman is as much at home with these slimy creatures as is a father with his children. lie handles them at will and with the utmost confidence. The creatures do not appear afraid of him, yet submit in a passive sort of way to his manipulations. Yesterday Foman left for the everglades, where he proposes to secure a collection of snakes lor the world's fair that will surpass in - numbers, variety, perfectness and deadlines anythiug that the world has ever known. Foman tells a story of his life in these words. "I am a native of Hay ti and have been in this country seventeen years. A few years ago I determined to engage exclusively in the snake business. In my childhood my parents would gratify me by permitting me to have a rattlesnake as a. companion, aud as 1 grew older I became fonder of these reptiles, and always delighted in making them a study. I would sometimes get bit by them, but my father had a remedy that would soon heal the wound. In 1883. while in Lee county, near the everglades, I captured a snake which was shipped to New York. I was paid $70 for it and I have been following the business ever since. On all rattlesnakes four feet long and over I realize from $i to $50 each. The smaller snakes I generally use myself for the manufacture of my snake oil, which will cure any rheumatism or neuralgia in existence. 1 learned this from the Seminole Indians. When I first went among them I was crippled with rheumatism, and was a great 6nfl"erer. I was completely restored in a lew days by the application of rattlesuake oil. Beforo Pablo beach was thoroughly settled I caught hundreds of snakes in that vicinity, but the largest and best quality of rattlesnakes to be found in the country are at Fort George island, at the mouth of the St. Johns river. The snakes at this place are very gentle, and can be easily tamed. Last month I succeeded in capturing forty-four snakes there, and was only bit eight times. I have secured from the Seminole Indians a fluid that I use when bitten, and with it the bite of a rattlesnake, or in fact any other snake, is no more serious than the bite of a mosquito." A few days ago Foman gave an exhibition of his prowess in snake-catching to a number of New Yorkers. He has a small dog trained to "point" snakes. The party proceeded to a place where rattlers were likely to be found. It was fully an hour before the dog obtained a clew and

began barking. Finally he dropped and pointed his tail straight into the air. Tho snake-charmer ran to the spot, uud by the use of a mirror attached to a stick six feet long, ho gradually drew the snake until within arm's reach, when he reached out and secured the reptile, not, however, without the fangs penetrating his right hand. He applied his uutidofe. and smilingly requested the reporter to "take a bite," too, which was emphatically refused. Returning home the snake-charmer took out a piece of red silk, shook it in front of the reptile, which, with its deadly fangs, penetrated iL Silas then, jerked the silk violently away, and the fangs were removed. The rattlesnake," continued the snakecharmer, "shed its skin twice a -year, and at that time it becomes perfectly blind, is helpless and is easily captured. At this stage they are assisted by a nurse or pilot, who guards and protects them. This guard is the young king snake. The king snake, when it becomes grown, however, is the first enemy the rattlesnake has, and can easily kill them in combat. 1 have 6een rattlesnakes fleeing from the old king snake to the young king snake for protection." . RESCUK WORK IN NEW YORK CITY.

Political and Social Considerations That Call for Evangelizing Work in the Slums. New York Evenlug Post. What can be done in "rescue work" by methods less grotesque than those of the Salvation Army may be read in the address before the church congress of Mr. Charles J as. Wills, of New York, who has beeu engaged in mission work of SL George's parish, in what he fairly called the criminal district of New York, in the neighborhood, of Sixteenth street and Avenue A. We have not space even to recapitulate the particulars recited by Mr. Wills, but the extent of the. need for evangelizing labors in lower New York mav be judged from his saying that "within the last ten years 200,000 people have moved into the district south of Fourteenth Btreet and fourteen Protestant churches have moved out of it.7' One wonders what these fourteen Protestant churches that have removed from such crying need can allege to offset their apparent recreancy, or to dissipate the air of non-reality in the Christianity that runs away from such opportunities as are brought thus to its very doors. What these churches might have done, and other people do, may be learned from Mr. Wills's address. The Margaret Strachan Home for Fallen Women furnishes an illustration. It car-, ries on its work in "the worst precinct in New York city." "On all sides were dens of infamy and shame, up and down the street were the gambling-houses." Some of the visiting clergy "did not think it was a very good scheme to begin a religious service at 11 o'clock at night and carry it on until 2 or S o'clock iu the morning." But. said Mr. Wills: "The women worked with the women and the men with the men, hand in hand, until, after the first year's work there, we could look back and find that soul after soul had been redeemed, and that men and women were leading Christian lives as to whom the possibility of such a result had seemed to be utterly out of tho question. I do not believe much in statistics, but when 1 tell you that at the end of the second year of that work 441 women were either living with their families again or were - out in service, and that we had good reports from them, I think you will see that there was something as a result of practical co-operation by the people there." Those who most easily penetrate the veil of Mr. Wills's decorous reserve will most wonder at his statements; but no reason appears for doubting tbom, and they are full of the highest encouragement. Essentially, though not formally, they confirm thejudg.ment of Dr. Mackay-Smith, and warrant his conclusions in gross.if not in detail. Perhaps tthe precise methods of the Salvation Army are inappropriate for our mixed population, fbut the Salvation Army principle, virtually ? the principle of St. Paul, must be that which )CHristianity must take up for the work of evangelization among such classes as are lhero under review. lAnother consideration may be urged upon those who care little or nothing for Christianity as such. All trie strength of municipal misgovernment comes from those sub-communities of vice and crime. By them only are Tammany victories at the pollsmade possible and the brutalTammany rule by associated loafers, liquor-dealers, gamblers, and 'convicted murderers, with all the moral and economio evils that follow in its train. The "submerged" population emerges on one day in the year, rising to the top of the political world, and by its vote imposing on honest citizens the burden of undue taxation and of misapplied public money, with the chronic nuisauces of llbpaved and nasty streets, rotting wharves, inefficient police, ill-kept parks, and all the distaste, discomfort ana shame which come from government by the poorest. It is not only the matter of Christianity that is involved in "Rescue Work;" the rescue of civilization is invotved in it. No matter what any man may think about Christianity, about dogma, or the supernatural, or the natnre of sin, he can have little doubt about the nature of crime or the elfect of it, and he must know that evangelization of our dark places would, in fact, issue in cleanness, and decency, and elevation of thought and aim, the efiect of which would be to set forward the cause of honest municipal government and to make life under rational aud civilized conditions possible in New YorK; , 1 PENSIONS FOR VETERANS.
