Immense Corruption,

The testimony of Wendell, late Gov
ernment Printer, shows that during the
past six years there has been expended
for public printing more than seven millions
and halt of dollars--6lty per cent Of
which, or three millions seven hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, have been nett
profits. The greater portion Of this has
been used to corrupt the ballot-box and
keep alive set Of decayed Democratic
party organs. Bowman, editor Of the
PRESIDENTS mouth-piece, testifes that if.
W thousand dollars have been flched from
the treasury annually for constructive
printing--that is, by charging compost
ton and press work twice on documents
printed but once. This is the way de-
mocracy at the Capital heeces the public
treasury. Is it any wonder that institu-
ton has run dry, and Uncle Sans money
man has become common sinner?

How the Thistle Saved Scotia:

The following is related as the origin
of the use Of the thistle as the national
emblem of Ccotland: When the Danes
invaded Scotland, they availed themselves
of the pitch darkness of night to attack
the Scottish forces unawares. In ap-
preaching them unobserved, and march
ing barefooted to prevent their tramp be-
ing heard, one Of the Danes trod upon a
large prickly thistle, and the sharp cry of
pain which he instantly uttered suddenly
apprised the Scots Of their danger, who
Immediately ran to their arms, and de-
feated the foe with great slaughter. The
thistle was thence forward adopted as the
national insignia of Scotland.

Managing Windows for Air.

There is always draught through the
key holes and window crevices, because
as the external air is colder than the air
in the room we occupy.it rushes through
the window crevices to supply the def-
cheney caused by the escape Of warm air
up the chimney. If you open the lower
sash Of window, there is more draft than
if you open the upper sash. The reason
Of this is because if the lower sash be .,
pen, cold air will rush into the room and
cause great draft inward; but if the up
per sash be open the heated air of the room
will rush out, and of course there will be
less draft inward. A room is best venti-
lated by opening the upper sash, because
the hot ventilated air, which always as
cends towards the ceiling, can escape
more easily. The wind dries damp linen,
because dry wind, like a sponge, imbibes
the particles of vapor from the surface of
the linen as fast as they are formed. The
hottest place in church or chapel is the
gallery, because the heated air of the
building ascends, and all the cold air
which can enter through the doors and
windows keeps to the floor till it has be~
come heated.
Special attention should be given to tho
ventilation Of sleeping-rooms; for pure
air and an abundance of it are, if posi-.
BILE, more necessary when we are are a.
sleep than when we are awake. Sleep
ing-rooms should be large, high, and airy,
more especially in warm latitudes, and in
situations where the windows have to be
kept closed at night on account Of mala-
ria.

Mehitable's Bustle.

commends itself
How dear to my heart is Mehtable Junkins,
When chance Or good fortune presents her

hung by it, r.. .... 4.
The profusion of VIII ch no poet can tell,
Her graceful swan neck and her bosom so nigh
Aud cen her great hustle which made such
swell.
That well quilted hustle,
That monstrous great hustle,
Mehtable's hustle that made such a swell
Mehitabe Junkens hail as treasure,
For often at noon when returned from the
field,
found her the source of an exquisite Pleas
nre,
The brightest and purest that nature could
yield.
How often I've seized her with hands that
were glowing,
When quick to my lap she reluctantly fell,
And finding me often with words overhowng
In whispers angelic she answered 'du tell"
That well quilted hustle,
That monst!ous great hustle,
Mehitable's hustle which made such swell.
How rich, how romantic, it was to receive it,
A kiss from the curb of Mehitable's lips
Not full blushing goblet could tempt me to
leave it,
Though filled with the nectar that Jupiter
sips.
A sigh will now often escape from my bosom
The tear of regret will intrusively swell,
AS fancy reverts to my former old blossom,
And sigh for the hustle which made such q
swell, t.. ".

That monstrous great hustle,

Life without Love.

We someties meet with men who seem
to think that indulgence in any Affection
ate feeling is weakness. They will re-
turn from a journey and greet their fam
lilies with distant dignity, and move a.
mong their children with a cold and lofty
splendor of an iceberg surrounded by it's
broken fragments. There is hardly a
more unnatura! sight on earth than one
of those families without a heart. A
father had better extinguish a boys eyes
than take away his heart. Who that has
experienced the joys of friendship. and
values sympathy and affection would not
rather lose all that is beautiful in natures
scenery than to be robbed Of the hidden
treasure of The heart. Cherish, then, the
hearts best affection. Indulge in the
warm and gushing emotions of filial, pa.
rental and fraternal love.

He Alluded to Cows,

In the agricultural districts the opera.
ton of milking cows is called pulling
teats." This is the preface to our short
but affecting story. The people of s.,
Portage county, have debating society
The other night they discussed the ques'
tion: sis the human race increasing in
Development" The school house was
crowded with'youug ladies and gentlemen
One of the disputants for the negative
ably contended that the times were de-
generating--that things were growing
"wuss" constantly. Said be.
"Why, what upon airth does the young
man of to. day amount to? He is feeble
in body and mind, wears fine clothes that
his father buys him, has rings on bis fin
gers and little hair on his lip, and the
hardest labor he can perform is to carry
round meershaum pipe. Now when l
was boy we were not afraid to pull teats'"
A wild shout greeted this annoncee
ment. The speaker blushed, and in fal-
tering voice, said:
"IaHuded TO coaus." .. -.-.

EFT The State of Indiana has recent

~The State of Indiana has recently
lost by death one of its citizens-Mr.
James Bangs. We find an obituary no.
tice of him in Hoosier paper:
"4Mistur Eaatur:: Jem bangs, we are
sorry to stait, has desized. He departed
this life last munday. Jem was general
ly considered a gud feller. He dide at
the age of 23 years old. He went 4th

The truth Of the adage, zone half of
the world knows not how the other lives, y
is wildly realized by the recent develop
ments made with reference to the tene-
ments of the New York City poor.
1t has been shown that half a million
of men and women-two thirds Of the
population of New York-are compelled
by poverty and the avarice Of Shylocks,
to live in novels, technically called "tene-
ment houses" in parcels, on an average,
of thirty.6ve persons to each house. But
this is only an average. In the eleventh
ward ll3 rear houses contain 1868 fami-
lies, or nearly 10 souls each; "a others
contain 4O7 families being on an average
of 80 souls to each; and in another ward,
72 such houses contain no less than 10
families, or 95 souls each! But this is by
no means, the worst.
There are $50 tenement houses in New
York which contain, by actual count, TO-.
993 families, or about IS persons each;
1913 others, which accommodate IL per-
sons each: II others, wich cover 140 each;
and, finally, 2a which have total popu>
of no less than 5,449 souls, or 1877 to each
house! e
The "tenement-house," which is now
one Of the institutions" of New York,
stands usually upon lot rs by 100 feet,
is from four to six stories high, and is so
divided internally as to contain four fam
lilies on each tloor,-each family eating
drinking, sleeping, cooking, washing, and
fighting in room eight feet by ten and a
bed room six feet by ten; unless. indeed,
-uhich very frequently happens, says Mr..
Halliday.--the family renting these two
rooms takes in another family to board, or
su6,lets one room to one or even t,0o other
families
The "modern improvements" of these
barracks" are astounding.
One of the largest and most recently
built of the New York "barracks" has
apartments for 1876 families. Itwas built
especially for this use. 1t stands on lot
80 by $50 feet, is entered at the sides from
alleys eight feet wide, and by reason of
the vicinity Of another barrack Of equal
height, the rooms are SO darkened that on
cloudy day it is impossible to read or
sew in them without artificial light. 1t
has not one room which can in any way
be thoroughly ventilated. The vaults,
and sewers which are to carry off the filth
of the l26 families have grated openings
in the valleys, and door-ways in the eel
lars. through which the noisome and
deadly miasna penetrate and poison the
dank air Of the house and the courts

Terrible Meeting.

For some time past house Of ill-fame
has annoyed the citizens of village on
the line Of the Cleveland and Columbus
Railroad; and it was determined that the
house should be broken up. On Thurs.
day night the Marshal of the village
made a descent upon the house, took the
inmates into custody, and yesterday
morning they were taken before mag.
istrate for examination. There were
three girls among the prisoners, and as the
eye Of the magistrate fell upon one Of
them he grew deadly pale and hastily
adjourned the court. Among those
wretched and abandoned girls, he recog-
nized the once fair features of his own
daughter! Several years before, while
attending female seminary in an East
ern State, she had sloped with worth
less fellow, and her father had never heard
or seen her until that terrible morning
Deserted by her husband, she adopted q
life of prostitution, and found her way to
the west. Her father, unknown to her
moved also to the west, and settled in the
village above alluded to.-Ueve. Plain

WHAT ALLIED HIM?--The last number
Of the Knickerbocker has good anecdote
of man who rarely failed to go to bed
intoxicated and disturb his wife the whole
night. Upon his being charged by a
friend that he never went to bed sober,
he Indignantly denied the charge, and
gave the incidents Of one particular night
in proof
"Pretty soon after I got into bed, my
wife said. why husband, what is the
matter with you? You act strangely
There's nothing the mater with me,
said l, nothing at all"
"I'm sure there is, said she, you don't

"And she got up, lighted candle and

ding the light with her hand.

about you" said she, "why, your are So

One Hundred Girls in u Telegraph Office


In England, the business of operating
telegraph wires has been to great ex-
tent placed in the hands of young ladies
who find it very agreeable employment.
The inland department Of tue Electric
Telegraph Company in London now en-
ploys one hundred young ladies, who
receive and transmit the messages from
all parts of the United Kingdom. The
room in which they are engaged is lofty,
spacious, and admirably lighted and
ventilated. A number Of long tubes are
placed across the room, upon which the
instruments are placed, an attendant be-
ing seated opposite each one. There is
one table for Liverpool, another for Man
chester, third for Birmingham and
Glasgow, and so on for the whole Of tile
chief towns. When not engaged at the
instruments, the girls employ themselves
with needlework or reading. The room
is in charge ola matron. The compen-
sation ranges from los to 25s $3.50 and
s6.95) per week. Ten hours constitute
days work.
A period Of six weeks is sufficient to
learn the whole process Of telegraphing,
but longer practice is required to impart
efficiency and rapidity of execution
There is a kitchen in which the young la
dies cook their dinners, and a servant to
wait upon them, with lavatory and 9TH
er appliances for their comfort and con-
venience. The access to the room is by
a staircase exclusively devoted to the
ladies, and no person of the ruder sea,
is, upon any account, admitted into their
apartment, except upon special order.
To the honor of "the fair SEX" the ex.
pertinent has proved to demonstration
that the proverbial incapacity Of women
to keep secret is great untruth. Of
the thousands Of important and valuable
secrets which must yearly come to the
knowledge of the young ladies, not a
single one has ever transpired. Many Of
these fair operatives are closely related to
individuals distinguished in literature,
science and art.
