whom became ctU from want of ed

children.
T'ie argument in favor of compul
sory education is substantially this:
Crime decreases almost in the same
ratio that schools increase. Statistics
demonstrate that the most economical,
eiTectie and powerful preventative of
. ...
i. r - t i i - .
crime it inu in.r common sonooi. L ni-
versal education leads to universal
morality. An examination of the
statistics of England, Scotland, Ire
land and tt the dfiercnt countries of
Europe indicate that, other things
being equal, pauperism is in the in
verse ratio of the education of the
mass of the people; that is, ns vduca-
tion increases pauperism dec reases,
and as education decreases pauperism
j increases. The same rule holds good
m our countrv.
Taking the hrcc States of Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Illinois for illus
tration, we fiud that of illiterate per
sons one iu ten is a pauper, while of
the rest of the population only one in
three hundred is a pauper. In other
words, a given number of persons
suffered to grow up in ignorance fur
nish on the average thirty times as
many paupers as the same persons
would if required to get such an edu
cation as our free public schools afford
They furnish also ten times the num
ber of criminals. From these prem-
iSM jt 1?i argued that it is the right,
: enme. It costs far less to prevent
crime, pauperism and civil commo
tions by educating the whole people
than it does to punish criminals, sup-
j j,ort paupers and maintain armies to
repress an ignorant and vicious poj-
. ulation.

Mr. Hawkins is ofthe opinion that by
a judicious law, firmly but kindly en-
; f,,rccd, compelling attendance during
school hours upon some school, cither
j public or private, tbe streets of our
lare ci
citics could be cleared of tbe
thousands of youthful vagrants from
w hose ranks now our army of crimi
nals is almost entirely recruited.
Such a law in a single generation
would work a moral and intellectual
reformation and regeneration of the
(.r;mjnui ad pauper classes, and save
i.inn of money in tbe department
of police, charities and corrections,
and largely increase the wealth, in

To be brief, Mr. Editor, (as your cor
respondent knows that your crowd

for the establishment of a telegraph
in each post office on a telegraph cir
cuit, and within ten miles of any cir

master is $500 and upwards tbe

the office be a letter carrier office, j
within the circuit of the letter carrier

to be retained by the government as
compensation for oflice room, the

Xew York Jan. 20, 1S74.
The labor qiestion Tammanv

1NESS.
The threatened demonstration of
the unemployed laborers of thc city
took place on the 14th. It amount
ed to nothing. An effort has been
made for weeks to incite the laboring
population to riot and violence, but
with little effect, lbe real laborers
look with suspicion upon thc orators
w bo were bellowing at their meet-1
mgs.
"Who is be, and where does lie
work ?" became a very coinninir ques
tion as to thc red-nosed individuals
who were making spread-eagle ap
peals in behalf of "wc laborers."
And, as it never could be ascertained
that thc red-noses bad ever illumin
ed any shop or factory, or other
place of labor, their claims to be con
sidered laltorers were scouted. Xot
withstanning the inflamatory appeals
to the laborers out of work to join in
a demodstration on Tuesday, nnd
"demand bread," presenting the
"alternative of blood," only three or
four thousand gathered iu Tonikins
Square, and of these but few were la
borers, that is, regular laborers.
They were agitators, whose ideas of
of projierty were exceedingly vague
men who believe in the doctrin
that thc man who has saved some
thing by industry and sobriety, shall
share it with thc man whose intem
perance and laziness has prevented
him from saving anytbiug. These
fellows, mostly foreigners, met with
red flags and badges, and that was
all. The police ordered them to dis
pears a few of them showed CgLt,
and were promptly knocked down,
and tbc rest the orators being first
ran for sweet life. And that end
ed it Thirty of the agitators wcr
arreted and committed to jail.
i They were f.iciiiT.-, which fact
j ha significance, flu-re are in New
i oik thousand. ,f French, English,
and German coiiiinuiiists, who are
working vigorously to organize the
labor of the countrv into a raid
upon capital ; but the real laborers
arc steadfastly opposed to anything of
thc sort, and the movement failed.
The prudence and good sense of the
laborers save 1 the city a terrible
riot.
Tammany has no idea of giving up
the ghost, ,-r of relinquishing a sin
gle iota of its former power. The
society has been somewhat modest
for a year or two. but the elections
last fall going Democratic, as they
did, gave it cow courage. Tammany
proposed to take charge of the courts
again, and, as the first step, has divi
ded up the appointments, withnvl
consulting the judges. One Mierson,
representing Tammany in thc Twen
tieth Assembly District, notified
Judge Hackett that one Deputy
Clerk and one officer of his Court had
been assigned bv Tammanv to his
District, and that he should desig
nate the two men.
Judge Hackett was somewhat
surprised at this. He conld'nt under
stand what a ring of thieves headed
by a gambler, had to do with mak
ing appointments of officers in his
court, and he so told Mr. Mierson.
Thereupon Mr. Mierson waxed
wroth, and notified Judge Hackett
that, when the time came, Tammany
would go for Judge Hackett's scalp.
You see what chance New York
has for decent Courts, sc. long as a
mob of rum-mill frequenters dare to
dicate appointments like these.

upon this genuineness of a favorite
brand of wine. What do you sup

An analysis of a ".-tan-lard" brand

40 dozen quarts, which sells in the
market at $33 per dozen. Rather a
profitable, business for everybody, ex
cept the consumers they need stom
achs glass-lined and -Lacked with
fire-brick. The fact is, there is but
little actual wine imported. The
Sherries are adulterated w;ih sul
phuric acid, anil strengthened with
alcohol, the Champagnes are made of
cider and alcohol. Port is a villain
ous decoction, and so on through the
list. Still the fastidious drinker
smacks his lips over his sulphuric
acid, its price and foreign name rec
ommending it to hiin. Xot one of
them can be induced to touch the
real wine, made from real grapes,
grown in America.
Actresses, as a rule, retain their
maiden names after thev arc married,
their reputation lietore marriage, a
change of name would be injurious.
Out of this practice a very funny in
cident occurred last Saturday night.
A well-known actress, a respecta
ble woman, and the wife of an ex
cellent actor, is stiil known by her
maiden name, wc will say, Agnes
Morton. She bad been filling an en
gagement in Philadelphia, her hus
band at thc same time filling one in
Providence. They were to meet in
Xew York, Saturday night. The
lady arrived at H p. m , and went to
one of our lest hotels, the proprietor
of which knew her and her husband.
He was in the office at the time, and
registered her name "Miss Agnes
Morton," and assigned her a room.
At 11 I', m. the husband arrived, and
registered his name "John Smith,"
looked over the register for the room
assigned to his wife, and rush
ed thither as any loving husband
would who had been separated from
his wife two months. Xow all the
hotels keep a watch iu the halls to
see that no improper characters get
into the rooms, and the watch in this
hall was an exceedingly conscien
tious Irishman. Seeing the man en
ter a lady's room, he went to the
office.
"Who is in 213?"
"Miss Agnes Morton," answered
the clerk in charge.
"Whew," whistled the watchman,
"be the mother uv Moses, there's a
mon iu that room."
"Is there?" queried the clerk, who
did not know the parties; "we will
see about that."
And up they went. Rat-tat.
' What do you want ?" from a mas
culine voice within.
"We want you."
The door opened and a gentleman
iu d'shabill half-appeared in the door
way. "What are you doing in this room?"
demanded the clerk. "I assigned 312
to VdU."
"Doing in this room? Why, I pro
pose to occupy it with my wife."
"Wife! Too thin," "replied the
clerk. ' We want none of this here.
Dress yourself and get out. And
tell the lady to get on her duds and
get out, too. And be very quick
about it."
"But man,'' said the embarrassed
actor, "that lady within m my wife.
and I am her husband."
"Oh, bother," said the clerk. "I
know all about it. I bave'nt lime to
waste on )'ou. 'Miss Agnes Morton,'
'John Sm:tir it won't work. Get
out. You outfit to be ashamed of
yourself"
By this time the lady r"t an idea
ofthe situation, and set up a scream,
the husband relapsed into profanity,
while dressing himself, und the watch-
man went otl to unswea a can some-
where else. The hu.-band got his
clothes on and reasoned with the
clerk. He told bini bis wife was an
actress, thatthey were ImiiIi known

he would investigate further, and he j

A few minutes after, the watch -

And he collared him and dragged
him to 312, and thrust him in, lock

"I'll have no more bother with

Tbe jobbers are Belling a great many
goods, they report collections fair,
ami altogether the prospect is good,
and the signs indicate a better late

There was a general expectation

The House met this afternoon at
two o'clock.
The speaker took from his tabic
a report of the Auditor liCtieral ill
Auditor General
rejrard to banks, and it was received
and filed and ordered to he printed.
The House, then, in accordance
with the new rules, resolved itself in
to Committees ofthe Whole.
Mr. Amnierman, of Montour, was
called to the chair,
The first business disposed of was
the Act in relation to vacancies in
offices of Protlronotary, Clerks of
Courts, and Register, which passed
its first reading without amendment.
Mr. Xcwmyer called up the pro
posed act presented by him in refer
ence to the establishment of separate
Orphan's Courts. It will be remem
bered that this bill provides for
three Judges for a separate Orphan's
Court in Allegheny five iu Philadel
phia, and two in Luzerne.
Mr. Oliver of Eric, raised thc point
of order that thc bill was a local one
and was not legitimate under the
rules.
The Speaker ruled this point not
well taken. In support of this de
cision he had the clerk read, as his
authority for allowing such a bill to
be considered, the following clause
from Section 22 of tbe new Constitu
tion. "In every county wherein the pop
ulation shall exceed 1.10,000, tbe Gen
eral Assembly, shall, and in any oth
er county winy, .establish a separate
Orphan's Court, to consist of one or
more Judges who shall be learned in
the law, which Court shall exercise
all the jurisdiction and powers now
vested in or which may hereafter be
conferred upon the Orphan's Courts,
and Courts of Common Pleas within
such county, in Orphan's Courts pro
ceedings, shall cease and delermin."
Mr. Oliver succumbed, and the bill
without amendment passed its first
reading.
The bill regulating fees of Coroner's
was next called.
Mr. Webb, of Bradford opposed
the bill, and Messrs. Broekway, Mc
Crecry, of Venango, and Mitchell
supported it The bill without amend
ment passed its first reading.
The House at last was gratified at
the reception from tbc Seuute of thc
election law, as it had passed that

the 1..
Tii. solution authorizing thc pur
chase of a copy- of Purdou'j Digest
for each member, came up on its sec-
; ond reading, and considerable oppo-
Miion was developed to the passage
of thc resolution
Messrs. White and Ermeutrout di
vided the honors for the Republican
and Democratic parties respectively,
by offering amendments to the resolu
tion, but, unfortunately, they were
not supported by their clans, and
their amendments were voted down.
Finally, after considerable skirin
i.shing, the resolution reached its
third reading by a vote of 15 yaes to
12 nays.

came in from thc House, and was re
ferred and been considerably cut in
the Committee. It will likely after
thc Senate gets through with it,
have to be cnt back to thc
House.
The bill authorizing the payment
of the expenses of advertising the
new Constitution came up again to
day and passed to its third reading
without amendment. A curious fea
ture ofthe bill is that it provides for
payment to those papers which pnb
liJied the Conetitution without proper
authority thus putting them in thc
same basis as those which were au
thorized from head ;;;srters to do tho

Terrible ExpltMion.
Ri'TLANP. Vt, January 20. The
citizens of Bennington were startled
about 2:30 this afternoon by a terrific
explosion, which was heard twentv
miles away. It proved to be an ex
plosion of gas works on the premises
of II. E. Bradford & ( Vs. knitting
mills. The gas it seems hail leaked
from the pipes uutil the air was so
charged that it took fire from a boiler
communicating with the pas bolder.
The mill is a one story building. The
explosion lifted the roof and burst out
the walls of the b lilding, and the
roof fell back, crushing many em
ployees. The fire spread instantane
ously all over the building, and it
was half consumed before it could bi
got under control. It was a fearful
scene; many women screaming ter
ribly were inside the building, and it
was not in the power of any one to
help them. Beside nine or ten per
sons known tositivcIr to have been
killed. A good many were badly injur
ed Everything was done to alleviate
their sufferings. The remains of some
ofthe unfortunate victims were re
duced to a mere handful of charred
bones, and nothing was left to indi
cate who thev were, except the posi
tions in which they were found. This

Be.nmnotox, Jan. 20. The knit
ting mill of H. E. Bradfor.I was burn
ed this afternoon, the fire being caus
ed by leakage of a gassoline pipe.
The gas ignited from the boiler fire.and
exploding, demolished the adjoining
sewing room. Nine women who
were at work there were instantly
killed by tbe explosion, or were burn
ed to death in the fire which follow
