tive Condition Of the Manufacturing Glasses
of New England and Old England.
BOSTON, April 80, 1859.
II Is matter OF common information that chill.
dren are more largely employed in manufacturing
establishments in Massachusetts than In any other
section OF the country, and it Is equally true but
not 30 GENERALLY known. that their condition Is little
better than that OF the juvenile negro population in
the palmy and nourshing days Of Southern slavery.
Education, morality and Christianity have always
been advertised as the chief products of the Old
Bay State, but there has always been an In
territorial or accidental omission Of less worthy
characteristics OF this Puritan land, While
there is undoubtedly much to praise and
admire In Massachusetts laws and customs
It Is nevertheless true that there is q very great
deal to denounce, and 1t would seem to be well
II some OF the long haired philanthrOpists would con-
centrate their efforts upon needed reforms about
home, rather than attempt to ameliOrate the con-
dition OF the less deserving in distant localities
The matter OF the employment Of children In manu-
featuring establishments In which there is an
opportunity for wise ref0rm, and the demands for
II have been so numerous OF late that the last Legis
lature was forced to take some decided action and
In response to Carload or more OF petltons an
anitlatory step was taken in the passage of a law
forbiddng the employment Of any children less than
tenyears OF age and the employment Of any between
ten and fifteen unless they shall attend school three
months in the year. and OF these to be employed
more than sixty hours per week-the penalty for
violation being fine Of fifty dollars from the
parents, guardians, or Overseers of the establish
meat
To secure an enforcement Of this law or ascertain
the possibility of enforcing 1t, Mr.. Henry h. Oliver,
OF Salem, was specially detailed as State officer to
examine into the manner in which children are EN-.
ployed In the various manufacturing establishments
in the State, and report which he has recently
made to the Legislature Is anything but corrobora-
tive of the eminent character Of Massachusetts,. Mr.
Oliver, in pursuance Of accomplishing the work
assigned him. commenced o correspondence with
the town clerks. assessors and deputy State con-
stables throughout the State, and the following are
among some OF the principal facts resulting from
that correspondence

clare that their goods are withheld from them
and tie promises Of the government have not

don News says: 'The challenge has come from

daily accepted on this side. We shall all ap-
preciate and admire the courage OF our Amer.
can brethren. They have sent their challenge
to the victorious Oxford University Club, and
are themselves coming across the ocean TO
meet the Oxonians on the very scene Of their
successive triumphs. 1t is easy to predict for
them an enthusiastic reception. The interest
OF the British public in such competitions has
given the Oxford and Cambridge races almost
national Importance. The interest OF two

transitional Importance. The Americans will
not find that in rowing on an English river
they necessarily have the feeling OF the crowd
