A cooperative tailoring establishment was
Organized last June in New York city, with
a capital of 50 500, in shares of so each,
contributed by one hundred tailors and by
one hundred and fifty friends of the enter
prise. The second story Of q building at
the northeast corner of Third avenue and
Fourteenth street was leased for two years
at an annual rental of 81 900, and 81 800
were expended in constructing long plat
forms for the workmen and procuring the
necessary tools and sewing-machines. AT
first the society did job work for stores, but
in q months time private orders began to
come in, and the business is now very ex-
tensiyc. The workmen earn full wages,
with the prospect of handsome dividend
at the close of the year, and the customers
obtain clothing at a low price, the charges
being ten per cent. above the cost OF labor
and materials.
The Society numbers one hundred: Vi
these, thirtysix work in the shop and sixty
four take their work home. All are en-
ployed on piecework, and earn on an ave-
rare S24 a week. Fourteen women are
hired, and work in the shop, earning $40 to
Sl2 week, the highest wages paid to
female tailors being Sll.5O week. The
members work twelve hours day. This
course is necessary in consequence OF the
calls of customers, who are mechanics,
and, being occupied in the day time, cannot
give orders for clothing till after working
hours

Rose over the head several times, choking
him, and putting him into the street. Rose

DR.. |. /. Hayes lately delivered in New
York an interesting address on Artic ex-
plorations. The lecturer noticed the
course of Frankln's, McClure's and
Ksne's explorations on the maps, and
explained wherein he had deviated from
their course until be reached Cape Union,
one hundred miles northwest of the limit
of DR. Kane's expedition, and whence he,
(Dr. Hayes), within four hundred and fifty
miles OF the North Pole, gszed in admira-
ton on the open sea which surrounds it.
He then described with much effect bis
approach to Greenland; the people, their
dwellings, and habits of life; their island
icebergs, rising three undred feet above
the level of the sea, and buried seven
times that depth beneath its surface,
three miles in circumference and three
hundred million tons in weight, enough,
he said, if made marketable in the city of
New York, to pay of the national debt; ;
the fsords or bays, thirty miles in depth
and ten in width, in which these icebergs
are formed by the thawed SHOWS of the
high interior until, breaking from the
land by their own weight, they float on
in imperious grandeur until melted away
in their journey to the tropics. Other
Arctic expeditions are now atting out in
England and Germany, and we may yet
hear more of this open Polar Sea.

since her disappearance a letter was re-
ceived from lady in London making
inquiry about the runaway, who was then
stated for the first time to be girl. She
had left her situation without acquainting
her parents, who thought her dead. From
the shop of grocer, which was one OF
the places the prisoner was charged with
breaking into, two old checks were stolen,
and these were found in the pocket OF a
coat the prisoner had left at her lodgings.
This led to the prisoners apprehension
by one of the Kent county constabulary,
who found her sitting at home with her
parents at Greenstreet Green, nursing a
baby. He charged her with committing
the burglaries (the only booty of which
was the two old checks). This she at first
denied, but afterwards admitted that she
was the person who committed them, and
wished It to be understood that no one
assisted her. He took her into custody,
and on searching her box he found it
contained quantity of male attire, a
riaemans uniform and accoutrements,
some false boards and curls, and num-
ber of other things used for disguise: She
was then wearing female attire, and said
she committed the burglaries because she
wanted money, as she collected ten shil.
lings for missionary society and could
not pay it. She took the checks, think.
ing them to be good ones. Since she had
left home she had gone by the name OF
Henry Peck, and had for some time sold
brooms about the country disguised as q
man, with false beard and curls. AT
Brenchley she was paying her attentions
