Complimentary to Printers.

A protracted and heated discussion
lately arose in the New York Legislature
on the subject of introducing the art of
printing into the State prison. An in
vestigation, however, disclosed the fact
that the craft had only three representa-
tives in the institution, and hence the
exceeding folly of such legislation. II
our lawmakers generally were possessed
of one halfthe brains represented by that
nnpretending class of artisans known as
printers, we would have more wholesome
laws and less wrangling, at the expense
Of an impoverished tax.paying constitu-
ency, over matters quite as foolish and
attempts equally as futile as that of the
New York Legislature. = Clarksciue

rbo wickoaost Man in New York"

Burleigh," of the Boston Journal,
confirms the account given by Oliver
DIVER, in the last number Of Packard $
Monthly, of the wickedest man in New
York" which was published few days
since. "Burleigh writes:
visited the establishment the other
day. with some friends OF John Allen,
the most noted keeper of a danee,house
that there is in New York. He prides
himself on keeping the model dance
house Of the city. he is one of the most
intelligent and notorious Of his class
His building stands like palace amid
the rookeries Of lower New York. His
parents were religious, and he was edu-
Gated for the ministry. For time be
was a student in the Union Theological
Seminary in New York. His brother Is
a minister, and his nephew is educating
himself for the ministry. He began his
course in New York poor, and is now
said to be worth 100000. His place is
crowded every night. His bar, which
runs the entire length of the building,
an immense concern, is insufficient TO
supply the demands of the crov,d who
patronize this establishment. 70 charge
is made for admission, but every one
who enters is expected to drink and treat
some female of the establishment. If
parties don't dance they are ordered to
clear out. Between each dance all par
ties on the floor are expected to go up
and drink at the expense of the
men. The women are of the low
est order, nearly all of them foreigners.
They wear hasby costumes, scarlet and
other gay colors, short dresses, red top.
ped boots, with bells affixed to the ankles
They are kept hard at dancing from
eight o'clock till twelve, and when they
are all jaded and fatigued, or Jag, they
are kept to their work by shouts, impre-
cations, and torrents ofinvectives, curses,
and often blows, from their task-master.
In the center of the group Allen stands
tall, slim, wiry fellow of about fifty,
sharp, keen-the master spirit that con-
trolls the establishment, now shouting to |
his girls, collaring an intruder and
throwing him into the street, or at the.
top of HIS voice reading a passage from
the Bible which always lies by his side. |
Tracts are lying around, and leading
religious newspapers can be seen and |
read, if any of the company have taste
that way. he is very proud to have in
his establishment a visitor who is n. in
lister or Christian. He will argue with
him by the hour, intermingling mis- oh.
scene and peculiar phraseology 'oy which
his establishment is kept up. He is per.
fectly willing that any man should pray
in his establishment, sip revival or
Sundayschool hymns or n' AXE an exhorta.
ton. If you can refor IN or convert cny
in his establishment, you are welcome to
do so. de contrib ites largely to be-
nevolent causes, both religious and hu-
name. He ack, owledges that he went
into his busiD ess to make money, and
that he has got what he started for. Boys, |
men, boatUien, captains from the rivers,
countryvien, old men Of sixty and girls
not twelve, crowd his place, together
with not a few who go to see the sights,
and pariake of the rude fun Of the place,

WE'VE TASTED THE BEST.

In moments Of JOY or detection.
How often awakes In the breast
A feeling that prompts the reflection.
We surely have tasted the best.
Though Hope. like a bird ever soaring
Far into beautiful sky.
Would win us from sadly deploring
The loss OF JOY that's passed by;
Would promise us purest Of pleasures
And moments more happily blessed,
Yet, somehow. In reckoning lifc's treasures.
We fancy we've tasted the best.
When the joys our childhood pervaded
Are dead In the bosom they blessed
When the dreams Of our youth have all faded,
Say. have We not tasted the bestY
All surely the best we have tasted
when the mora Of our being has passed.
When It's strength and Its spirit are wasted
And beauty is whitening fast;
Yet when. with the spirits perception.
The future. Of doubt. We divest,
And cherish lifes truer conception.
We trust we've not tasted the best.

Tbs DAIRY BusISEss.-We are pleased to notice E
that quite a number of stock OWNERS have
lately turned their attention to the dairy busi>
ness. A good article of butter will always COM
mand fair price in this market, and should the
supply at any time be iu excess of the local de-
mand, the surplus can readily be freigbted to-
the mines. The dairy business whenever enter
ed upon systematically has invariably paid, and
II score or two Of our stock oWners who are
constantly comPlaiuing of "dull times" will
take hold of this branch of Industry we vouch
for it that they will find it remunerative. In
most countries cheese is regarded as an iudis>
peusible article of diet, but in this Valley
owing to its high price, it is rarely found on the
table. This should not be, and in future we
trust that our own dairyman will at least pro-
duce the butter and cheese required to meet the
local demand.
