seems one of remarkable promise and can hardly
fail to prove remunerative under such able and faith
full management rs the list herewith given of Direct

il TO tho attention of of capital and enterprise
throughout the country. The signal success of the
Atlantic Telegraph and the Panama Railroad-the
two chief enterprises yet prosecuted by Americans
outside of our own cOuntry-encourage sanguine
expectations with regard to American triumphs on
other fields requiring union of boldness in concep-

The last report of the California Labor and
Employment Exchange shows that it has fur
nished employment for an average number,
per month,H since its formation, of 1850 while
the New York Exchange, with so much larger
field, has furnished employment for an average,
per month, of only 400 persons. During the
last month, it found employment for 1898 men
and boys, leaving 436 orders untitled, and for
27S females, leaving about 22O orders untitled.
Orders for women are abundant from Oregon,
Nevada, Arizona, and every section Of Califor-
mia, many inClOsing fare on the railroads, and
leaving to the Secretary of the Exchange to
fix the rate of wages AS high as $50 per month,
in gold are offered for American, German,
English, and Scotch women, who can cook,
wash, and iron for small families. Irish female
servants have so great objection to leaving the
cities, that the orders from the country can only
be filed from the other nationaities. Three
thousand two hundred and seventy four per-
sons were provided with work by the Exchange
during the first two months of its existence.
The receipts of the Exchange were S1,104 IA,
the expenses 1872 13. The Masonic Order,
Odd Fellows, and the citizens at large,
have contributed to the support of the Ex-
change as a philanthropic enterprise. The
Report quotes the rates of wages in California
as follows: For farm laborers, $25 to $40,
gold, per month, as against $40 to $50, cur
rency, in the Atlantic States for servant girls,
$50 to $50, gold, per month, as against IS to
$12, currency, in the Atlantic States harvest
hands, 50, gold, per day.
There is, however, very great and pressing
need of Labor Exchange more efficient than
we now have for the Atlantic States. Every
day we receive letters from farmers who seem
to be ignorant of the existence of any Labor
Exchange in NeY-York. 1t might as well not

Yesterday the first private execution took
place in England under the new law concern
ing capital punishment. Thus England has
been saved for the first time the brutalizing
scenes which have almost invariably accom-.
panied every public execution. We regard
every execution, whether private or pubic as
relic of barbarism, but we gladly welcome
the great progress which is made III passing
over from the disgusting exhibition OF an IN
human law in public to its hidden execution
in the privacy of the Jail.

The Democratic State Central Committee of
New York designated the 2d of September for
tbe holding of tk-:T Convention in Albany.
The politicians from all parts of the State
took advantage of the meeting of the Com
mittee to assemble in Utica and discuss the
merits of the candidates for Governor 1t
seems to be conceded that the race is narrowed
down to John T. Hoffman and Henry u
Murphy. The Western politicians generaiiy
support the latter, and Tammany will hnd IL
harder TO defeat him than it anticipated.

"NOthng decidedly secessOnist in tendency as this

A SUBJECT FOR SCIENTIFIC MEN.
1t is stated that since the terrible
earthquake at St. Thomas and other
West India islands, which singularly
occurred at the time that Mr.. Leo
nard made his purchase, the Gulf
stream has very nearly doubled its We
locity; and this phenomenon is at
tracing much attention among scien-
tific men. 1t was first discovered in
the increased difficulty of navigation
near the Florida Keys, even steamers
finding it difficult to weather points
easily passed previously. H..
The cause of this singular change
is deemed worthy of investigation by
the dons of the scientific world, and
its practical bearings on navigation
are Of vast Importance to the CONNER
cial interests, not only of this conti-
nent, but to Europe, in regard to the
heavy trade in cotton from the Gulf
ports, allof which passes around these
keys.

DEATH FROM WANT OF SLEEP

DEATH FROM WANT OF SLEEP
The following communication was re-
Gently made to British society:
A Chinese merchant had been
convicted of numbering his wife, and
was sentenced to die by being de-
prived of sleep. This painful mode
of death was carried into execution
under the following circumstances
The condemned was placed in prison
under the care of three Of the police
guard, who relieved each other every
alternate hour, and who prevented the
prisoner from falling asleep, night or
day. He thus lived nineteen lays
without enjoying any sleep. At the
commencement of the eight day his
sufrerings were so intense that he i'm,
plored the authorities to grant him
the blessed opportunity of being
strangled, guillotined, burned to
death, drowned, shot, garroted. quar-.
tered, blown up with gurpowder, or
put to death in any other conceivable
way which their humanity or ferocity
could invent.
