Pauper Children of London.

It is charged by responsible people that the buildings in'which the 18,000 pauper children 6f London are taught are notbeds of disease and —forcinghouses of vice aud continued pauperism. It is also said that tne same thing is true pf the 242,000 pauper children of England and Wales. Moreover, the technical instruction given to the boys in these schools is very poor. As for the girls, they generally leave the school with “a dislike to work and a lialiit <lf destructiveness, not willful destructiveness so much as careless and wasteful usage of everything.” Examining Counsel (tt> witness—What is yc>ur age, nuiduin': Svitness Cwitli charming smile)—lt would do you no good to know.'klr, for I am married and out of the market. Then the court smiled, the bar smiled, and the examining counsel, himself smiled, and the question was not pressed.—New York Dispatch.
