Pauperism and Crime.
The) Superintendent of the Census
has just made up the tlallaticfi of pin
periant and crime in the United Stntea
a the advanco ahcets which reuoh ua
with the romnrlt "'that noither the
" atntomonta of crime nor those of
" pauporiBm for the renr are rognrded
" as possessing any ingn uogreo ol
" statieticnl authority. They are bo
" lieved, howevor. to contain a very
" much larger amount of exact and of
" approximate information than it ia
" in the nowor of anv individual or of
" any other public agoncy to collont.
" ilia number reported respectively
" a roceiving poor support and aa in
" prison on the 1st of Juno, 1870, are
" regarded aa quite accurately doter
' mined."
The information here noted as
"quite accurnloly determined" is rery
interesting. Un the 1st ot J une, 1870,
the re were 42,001 persons in prison
throughout the United Stales, or 1
incarcerated criminal to every 1.172
of population, and 00,737 paupers, or
i in evury tu ui popuiuiiun. ui toe
criminal, 24,173 were native born,
showing 1 in 1,861 of our native pop
ulation in durance vilo. Dividing the
native born by color, there were 1(3,-
117 whites, or 1 criminal in each 1,-
740, and 8,040 negroes, or 1 criminal
in each bUU ol thai race, revealing the
notablo circumstances that there are
proportionately throe times as many
criminal blacks as whiles. The foreign-born
criminals number 8,728 or 1
in evory 637. As to paupers, there
are 53,ii:W native born, or 1 in 622,
nnd 22,698 forolgn born, or 1 in 244.
Of the native-born paupers 44,639
rem white, or 1 in 853, and 0,367
black, or 1 In 020. Tubulating those
deductions, which we make from the
Superintendent's figures, it appears
that pauperism and crime are thus
distributed :

thirds, ot theso offenders. are. negroes
In the same States thcro are 6,2 j0
paupers, or about nn eighth ot the
whole number, and 4.000 ol tbeso aro
blacks.
The white population of those ton
States being 4,608,869, nnd the ne
groes numbering 8,615,701, the Super
intendent's figures furnish us with
this further deduction :

Drawings for the Patent Office.
The rules of Hit Pntont Office aro
now very strict in regard to the char
acter of drawings furnished fur pat

on "lirintol board," in India ink, size
of shoot 10x15 inohos, one inch mar
gin, as few lines as possible. All lines
must be clean, shurp and solid, not
loo fine nor crowded. Every line and
loiter must bo absolutely blnok.
Shading lo bo very sparingly used,
and lino shading alone permitted,
brush shading and colors being wholly
excluded. The light is always sup
posed to come from the upper loft
hand corner. Tbore are a variety of
other regulations about tho lettering
and placing on of titles, all ol which
are strictly enforced. The reason
why the I Silent Office is so vory par
ticular, as to the mode in which dra st

How to Make the Farm-House Fleaa
ant. '
ifatsin nil ages of the world bave
professed to be" enumorod with the
life of the husbandman, and painter
have exhausted their most clowine
colon in portraying the beautio of
pastoral scenes. I'hilosophers bave
prated the independence ot the farm
er, and political economists have
united in . declaring that he is the
mail prop of the Stato and the chief
producer oi national weano. ll poeia,
painters, philosophers and political
ibeoriters are to be believed there is
no employment which is at ocoe so
plea'ant, so dicrriiflod, so independent
nd importisni' to the BUM tv tiiat,
ui ins agricultural classes.
Wo do not quite credit all that the
imsginutivo beings roforred to, have
suid and sung about the joys and tho
glorios of rural lif'o, but we see no
reason why the farmer of even mod
erate means should not mako his
homo the seat of tho most substantial
and rational enjoyment. Yet it must
be admitted that most of our Pennsyl
vania lund-ownors fall far short of ibis
moderato task. Nowhero docs agri
culture yield a more certain reward to
diligent and well direclod labor than
it does with us. If tho owner of a
hundrod acres of improvable and un
encumbered soil docs not speedily
place himsclt beyond the reach ot pe
cuniary diflicultics, it U almost always
his owu IttUlU Most oi our lnrmors
are sufficiently independent to afford
to pat attention to those things which
adorn life and rondor home altractivo
As a gonornl tbing few of them fail to
provide well for Ihe grosser wants of
nature, but, in too ninny cases, thoro
is a luck of attention lo intulloctuul
and sociul requirements.
In Lancaster county, for instance,
the farm-house is generally a com
fortable structure, sometimes ereoted
with architectural taste, and surround
ed, in most cases, with shado-lroos
und shrubbery. The interiors of these
dwellings are almost invariably fur
nished with all tho appliances neces
sary to Insuro inert creature eomfort,
and all that is needed lo round out
the lives of the occupants and muke
thorn really pleasant, is attention to
such things as give culture to tho in
tellect and add retlnomont lo exist
ence. Fur many of our farmors their
crops, tboir slock and their daily
round of accustomed lubor, is all that
life contains. 'J' bey are too often con
tent to starve the intellects of them
selves and of their families, and they
rare too little for tho many seemingly
unimportant things which muke tho
distinction between a lower and a
blghor phase of being. The family Is
too often huddled into tho kitchen or
into one crowded sitting-room, during
the long winter evenings, which ought
to be devoted to culturo of the better
part of tho whole household. Tho
parlors are cold and cheerless, unless
there be company, nnd no pleasant
light burns behind the tightly closed
shutters. There aro handsome farm
houses in Lancaster county which
have not been thoroughly lighted or
warmed since the form of some mem
ber of the family was borne out of tho
front door on a bier: and the doublo
front doors of not a fow of tbom, will
remain closed until pale death, with
imparliul step, shull knock at them
aguin. ihe lunorui least wnicn fol
lows a burial among certain classes ol
our penile, through one of tho most
ancient usages of their Saxon ances
tors, is a custom which would be
"more honorod in tho breach than in
the observance." A pompous funeral
is a poor recomponso for a crampod
and unudornablo life. What is need
ed by very many of our farmers, is
less lco ol money, lor us poor sou,
lossof :hnt earth-hunger which tompls
them U add acre to acre, and more of
that ctpacity for enjoying cxistenco
which is perfectly consistent with a
talionul economy in expenditure.
Farriers ouicht to live in thoir
houses Instead of keeping all the best
rooms shut up, excopt when oponed
for show. More than thoso who live
in towifi and cities do they need to
mako thoir bomos pleasant and to
brintf icar to themselves and thoir
childrei the moans for home culture.
They cin belter afford to do without
soma ktxury fur tho table, or oven
some eonvonionce for lessening labor
than without books. So little value
do man farmers sot upon intellectual
culture so litllo do they feel the crav
ings of mental hunger, that it is rath
or an uncommon thing lo find a Penn
sylvania fnrm-houso at which a duily
nuwpjmpur ia iiukuii, wiiu ttuv milium-
mon to find fiirtners of considerable
mca.is too careless or too parsimoni
ous to subcribe for a weekly journal.
ll this is sadly and seriously wrong.
Kit only should a daily newspaper bo
talon by every farmer who is within
reafh of a daily mall, but literary and
alculturql periodicals should find a
pUce in every (arm-house in tho land,
fl idea which aome farmers have
that book-lourriing unfits thoir sons
for the life I hey are designed to load
is t vory great mistake. Until the
bones of farmors aro made more
phasant and their fircsidos more at
trsotivo, tho youth who are rosred to
ag'iculttirul pursuits will continuo lo
sctk in cilics a life that will give play
to their intolloclual fitcullios, or will
seik in vulgar dissipation relief from
tlx dullness of a contracted and Irk
some existence. For his own suko

is tlonti, homes that are no w unacti act
ive will bocomo luminous witii the
light of intollootual life, and tho farm,
houses of our county and State will be
made the most ploasant abotlos In tho
land. This Is a work which farmers
must do lor themselvos, but they onn
help ch other greatly In it. Ono
wrll-ordored home in a neighborhood
wbero there aro books, pictures and
other applianoes whjoh holp to the
formation of a highor social life will

WOMEN WHO BOARD.
. There is a type of womanhood and
it has, alas ! too many representatives
or which ovory American, every
where has reason to be ashamed and
which exists in perfection in all our
largo cities. It lives in hotels and
boarding housos; it travols, it haunts
the faahionahlo watoring places, it is
prominent at Hie opera and ball ; in
abort, it is wherever it can show itself
or ita clothes. It rejoices over a no
tic of itself in the "Evening Chatter
box" or the "Weekly Milk and Water,"
a the proudest and most gateful of
Its social achievements. .
Its grand first quostion is "Where
urilh.r whall I fee clothcU f Vi hen
that is answered as woll as it can be,
the next is "How and where can X
show my clothes so as to attract tho
most mon, diatrons tho greatest num
ber of women, and muke tho most
stunning sensation?" 'We have no
fear of exaggerating this characteriza
tion. We have seon these womon at home
and away, and thoir presumption,
vunity, idleness, display and luck of
all nuble and womanly aims are a dis
grace lo the city that produces them,
and a country after whose name they
call themselves.
Of course thoro is a sufficient causo
for tho production of this type of wo
man, and it is to bo found in thoir cir
cumstances and way of lifo. It is
prevalent among tho novcaux riches
among those ol bumble beginnings
and Insufficient breeding and educa
tion. It Is foMtorcd in boarding bouses
and hotels those bot bods of jealousy
and personal and social rivalry and
aimless idloncss.
. The woman who finds herself housed
and fod and petted and furnished with
money for artificial as woll as roal
wants without the lifting of a finger
or the burdon of a cai-v, and without
the culturo of a head or heart that
loads her to seek for tho highest satis
faction of womanhood, bocomesin the
most natural way what we have de
scribed. It would bo unnatural for her to
become anything else. Tho simplo
truth is, that unless women have a
routine of duly that diverts their
thoughts from thomRolves, and gives
them something to think .of besides
dress and the exhibition of it, they
degenerate.
There is not a man who can afford
to pay a fair price for board, who can
not afford to keep house, and house
keeping, though it be over so bumble,
is the most natural and healthiest
ofllco to which a wainan is ever culled.
There is no ono thing that would do
so much to elovate the type of New
York womanhood as a secession from
boarding bonne and hotel, and an uni
versal entrance upon scperato homes.
Such a step will increase tho stock of
happiness, improve health of mind,
and raise at onco the standards of
morals and manners.
The devil always finds work for idle
hands to do, whether the hands be
long to mon or women; but American
men are not apt to be idle. They are
absorbed in work from enrly until late,
and leave their idle wivos cooped up
in rooms that cost them no care, to
get rid of the lingering time as they
can. Is it kind to do lhis,uriit cruelf
If it is kind in it motivos, it is oruol
in its result. The whole system of
board inf house and hotel life is vi
cious. To live in publie, bo on dress
parado evory day, to bo always part
and parcel of a gossiping multitude,
to live aimlessly year uflor year with
thoughts concentrated upon one's per
son and one' delights, to bo porpotu-
ally without a routine of healthy duty,
is lo take the broadost and briefest
road to tho degradation of all that is
admirable and luveable in woman
hood. It is to make the most natural
process that guy, gaudy, loud, frivol
ous, retentions, vain, intriguing, un
satisfied and unhappy creature that
the Englishman kuuws as the "rsew
York woman."
Aoainst the Government. In tho
United States Circuit Court, in New
York, on Nov. 10, Judge Shipman de
cided against the government in tho
suit to rooover 25,U00 from Benjamin
J.Cahoono, tho allegod defaulting pay
master in tho navy, and sureties hold
ing tbat Cahoono was a lunatic, and
unable at time of enloring into his
bond to mako any contract whatever.
The plea of "lunacy" will most liko
ly become a common now among
govornmoot defaulters, as that of "in
sanity" among murderers. Hodgson,
tba Tronsury dofnultor, plead ''insani
ty" only, and it remained for Cuhoonc
lo bring tho doiigo pica buhinoss to its
highoBl standard of prefoulion 1 This
is tho "insanity and lunacy" epoch of
tho government, and ll has boon lond
ingin that direction for the past twelve
years.

I WHO IS TOELAME? '
From pro anTpolpit Iter oomos
just now tb prlodio abower of "ad
vioe to Ttong men." Every gray
haired ir who bat a son tbat' a lit
tle wild attempt to correct tba evil
babiu of bis boy by writing homily
gainst tba aina of young men in gen.
oral. Tb minister having used ap
bis "supply," and tbo season being
unfavorable to study, conceives it to
b his divine mission to pitch into tbe
young folks. W haven't particle)
of faiib in tbis kind of reformation.
Tbe young men and maidens of to
day are just what you gray haired
aires have tnado them : just what so
ciety wanla tbom to be, and if any.
body is to blame for the preaont state
of thing it is tbo old, and not tba
young people. A short time since au
eminent divine . read - young men a
lecture about tho sin of not being able
todo anything. "Why,"sByshe,in his
grandiloquent way, "you can't make
a chair, build iteam engine, or con.
struct a houke," and door only knows
what be didn't aay.
'- Now supprse all that's true,
who is to blame? . Who was it
taught those yuung men that toil is
not respectable ? Who is it that to,
day will pass the laborer on the stroet
without so much as a nod or reoognU
lion, while he always extends his band
whero'er he approaches a young man
whose clothes are of the luteal stylo and
whose locks are dripping wet witb oil"
and grease 7 Tho very men, we aver,
from whom comes this terrible bowl
about degeneracy are the very men
who are responsible for tho prosent
condition of society. Tbo young man
who browns bis bands ut a duily toil
is loss respected, loss noticed on the
street than the well dressed idler who
reddens bis nose with beor. Tbo man,
who handles tbo mallet and chisel ia
excluded from social gatherings at
which ho who makes bis living by
shaking tbe dico box, or shuffling the
cards, is a welcome guost. What ia
the result of this practical teaching
that labor is dishonorable and unbe
coming a man of culturo and refine
ment?' Why, very fow young men
are willing to apprentice themselves
to any mechanical pursuit, because to
do so is to lose casto and be compelled
to occupy an inferior social position.
We admit that there are to-day
more lawyers than clients ; more doc
tors than patients ; moro clerks than,
customers ; more book keepers than
books I but this Is only so because
society demands it. And now, these,
model reformers shrink in boly horror
from tho inevitable result of tboir
teaching, and ondcavor to throw tho,
blame on somohody else. Tbis is only
another exhibition of that moral cow
ardico that characterizes all thoir ac
tions. If tbeso chronio fault An dot
cared loss for pomp amd show, nnd
moro for truth und right, theso evils
would soon be remedied. But so long
as a rich drunkard or millionalro
gambler is more honorable than tho
mon who toil for a living, things will
goon in the old way. The plain truth
of the matter is ou,r prnctico gives tbe
lie to our teaching, and our eloquent
homilies about tho dignity of labor
are regarded as rich jokes. That the
very men who first taught tho young
of the cation that labor is not reputa
ble should now turn round and doliver
thorn another lecture on the impro
priety of following the lessons they
wore so early taught is as cool a piece
of importinence a we bave heard of
iatoly. '
Young men who aro so soundly
abused bate bad nothing to do in tho
formation of society. They have
simply accepted the situation, and
taken things a Ihoy found thorn.
They are not the-culpable parties, and
can, with a clear conscienco and clean
hands, plead "not guilty" to tbo in
dictment. We really think there is a
very good cause for aa "action" on
tho other side, fur instead of these
young mon making society, society
tnudo thorn vbat they are, and if tboy
are not what Ihey ought to be society
is to blame. So long as tho society
remains as it is at present constituted,
so long will young mon crowd into
the "learned professions" and nsoful
employment bo negloclod. Thoro must
be some- practical, tangible recognition
of tho "dignity of labor," beforo any
radical change can reasonably be ex
pected, and it is the easiest thing in
the world to biing about a reformation,
if ro illy desired, which we very much
doubt trout tho meclianio with th.0.
same respect und courtosy that you
bestow on tho gambler in stocks, or
the brainless son of your aristocratio
next-door neighbor, and the result
will bo accomplished. We don't mean
to apologizo for tho "indiscretions" of
our young men, wo only desire Lo
pluco tho blame whoro it properly be
longs. Let the work of reformation
begin at tho foundation ; purify the
whole building. It will avail naught
to white wash the allio whilo tbo cel
lar is full of rotten nous- Make merit
tho only passport to sociul preferment,,
and permit no invidious distinctions
in favor of wealth to influenco your
conduct and bearing toward your
fellow man. So long as you do
this you preach in vain. Theso
invidious distinctions are obtaining in
our religious societies. Men will
kneel side by side at the same altar,
receive the holy sacrament from tba
same hands, and yet because ono is
so uiiforlunuto as to ho compelled lo
toil for a living while tho other is
blessed with wealth, social equality is
ignored and social contact studiously
guarded against, ft won't do to any
with tho tongue, "Young man tro lo
work," and say by ypur conduct,
"But remomber, thorecan bo op s-iriul
equality between us."
Again wo ask, "who is to blame for
the evil which causes so much com
plaint? Not tho young mon, for
Ihey are only following out to its le
gitimate ends the instruction so euro
fully and persevoringly instilled into
tbe minds of our youth. The respon
sibility rests upon thoso who have
moulded and shaped tho requirements
of sooioty, who havo estimated men's
worth by tho coats they wear instead
ot by the brains and energy they pas
bosh. Bnt thcr a ft or all we don t be
lieve that our young men of to day
aro any worse, or even quite as bad as
were thoir grandfathers. Just gut a
couple of old cronies together, supply
mem with plenty ol good cider, then
listen a Ihey narrate the startling
incidents of their youthful days, and,
no young man of the "poriod" can
come any way noar thorn. We havo
really grown lirod ol "advioe to young
men" and would liko to bave soma
one of onrjvery philanthropic snarlur
give a tew woras oi counsel lo "our
