Sw1Np1ISa AT FAIRs.-A correspon-
dent of the New York Sun says Three
or four years ago the annual fairs on the
Hudson river, as we'll as throughout the
state of New York were invested by
three card monte men. After much diff
fculty they were finally driven away,
These same rascals have turned up again.
this time with new game which is far
more enticing-that's the trick wild de
cards" They are fleeing the farmers
sons and farm laborers with an envelope
game. On the Amenia Fair Grounds no
less than twelve of these swindlers were
at work at one time, and one Of them
boldly asserted that they averaged SlOO
per day each. Each has trunk or box
filled with small cakes of soap and boxes
of envelopes. On the lid of the trunk,
which is turned up, are rows Of figures,
and under each one of the majority Of
figures are the figures, Scots, 81, $3.50,
sign1fying that if the person purchasing
an envelope finds number inside which
corresponds with the number over the
5Octs., 81, So, or SIS, he is entitled to the
sum underneath it. OF course nine cases
out of ten a successful number is never
drawn. When, however, the interest in
the game lags, because of the failure OF
almost every one to draw prize, the
boss swindlers give wink and con-
federate steps up to the box. He hesi-
tates and stammers, but finally hands
over 80 cents, and to his feigned surprise
draws a So prize. This confederate is
attired, as are all the confederates, in
tattered straw hat and heavy shoes. torn
coat and pantaloons. " You see that
soap man." said one Of them to US as
we stood looking at the swindlers on the
Armenia Fair ground that fellow is
the gamest man you ever saw. he had
an ear bit off in Reddy the Blacksmlth's
saloon. He is making pile of money
here to-day And so he was. Even
while we were looking at him he had
three colored men before him, to all ap-
pearances farm hands, and from the
three he took $27, and they did not re-
ceive cent. The voices Of the scoun-
drels as they iabbered awayfor customers
could be heard above everything else.
For NO days they held full sway, and
their rec ipts nearly equalled those OF
the entire fair. The police drove the
scoundrcls away.

A AFARcE.-James Burns was tried for
killing John Halloran last Spring IN .
New York saloon, and was acquitted ON
the ground of insanity. Under the
statute he was at once sent to the State
Asylum. A habeas corpus was brought
to have him released from the lunatic
asylum on the ground that he was not
insane. The return set up his due and
proper commitment as lunatic. The
matter came up before Justice Sheriff
Butler bringing the prisoner down.
Judge Bacon appeared for the asylum
and District-Attorney Garvin for the
people. Mr.. Howe, Burns counsel, in
sisted that the return did not set up,
and in fact it was not pretended, that the
prisoner was now insane, and that there
fore he must be discharged. Judge
Bacon argued that having been excused
from the punishment of grave crime
on the grounds of insanity, be should
not be lightly held to be SAFE, and that
before that was done formal inquisi.
ton, and not the of hand proceedings
Of habeas corpus, should be held. The
Court reserved its decision.

The STEREoTYPRD SMnE.-Beware OF
man or woman with a fixed smile.
Trust the most hideous scowler before
the being who goes about with an all
gelic grin carefully exhibited to all eyes
under any and every circumstance. 1t
IS not natural to smile perpetually, and
no one ever assumes mask without be-
ing conscious Of necessity for conceal
ment. Don t misunderstood me. There
are young women, and few old men,
who break out into a smile whenever
they speak. These are not the people l
mean. The smile of which l warned
you is a motionless, hypocritical, fixed
expression, which I have seen worn
during a silent three hours journey by
rail, without the slightest alteration
that sort of a smile which most mis-.
guided lady artists present upon theil
canvas when they deiineate martyrs,
saints and angels The portrait of
lady has a different smile-the fashion
plate simper-whicb, though semi-idiotic
is not dangerous. Persons of no pene,
tration allude to the chronic smile as
80 sweet" and any one capable Of hold
the muscles Of the face under control, Is
generally able to squeal sweetly, or move
quietly, and to use quiet language,
measured tones, in moments of the
greatest excitement, and SO can place O
better man or woman at great disadvan'
tage, and appear injured aud innocent
when actually most guilty.

Profitable Industries.

Some figures given by the Boston Ad-
uertiser, show that the profits of the man.
ufactures of that State were SlQ2, 900, 900
in 1870, or about S6s per capita to the
population. The wages paid amounted
to $11S, 100000, which to those employed
in the factories was equivalent to S42l
each. Making deducations for cost of op-
Grating, repairs, &c, the return on the
capital invested was about ten per cent,
and the manufacturers added S25, ,0O0, 900
to their wealth. The total value of the
articles manufactured was over $3.50, ,0O0,-
600. Wages, as we have seen, are
credited with $11s,OO0,000. This is a
splendid exhibit, and when we remember
that there are more than $50, 900 deposi-
tors in savings banks in that State, with
an aggregate deposit of about s17o, 1000
we form an idea of the growing wealth Of
Massachusetts,. We see. too, how general
is the habit of saving. More than one
third of the population are depositers. In
this State the depositors number 10000,
with an aggregate deposit Of $3.50, 900, 900.
The per capita is larger than in Massa
chusetts, but the amount averaged to
each is less. In the ten years ending in
1870, the Leather manufactures had in
treased from twelve to thirty-three
millions; Boots and Shoes from forty six
to eighty eight Chairs from one and a
half to four; bleaching and dyeing from,
Ss39,OOO to S22,O0O,0OO. Many other
branches of manufacture show like pro-
gress. The figures are remarkable proofs
of growth, and are good indications OF
what is and has been doing in other
States They are signs, too, OF great
and profitable industry. At present rate
of progress the decade we have now
entered will exhibit wonderful progress
over the last NJ Y. Paper.

The Milk Question.

The question of pure milk is now OF
great importance in New York City.
A city journal says: The supply of pure
milk to the poorer classes of this city in
place of the chalk and water of the past
is matter of real moment. The object
of the convention to be held is to the
effect this as well as other ends; and in
doing this the farmers do not propose
to sell milk at any higher rates than
heretofore, out to get higher rates for
their own milk and to sell it in its native
purity. At present the farmers seldom
get over cents per quart for their milk,
and also have to furnish its transporta-
tion to this city, while it is resold here
at 8 or 10 cents per quart, and then
retailed at still higher rates. The farm
ers claim that it is impossible for them
to make any profit at the low rate OF 3
cents, which by various losses of cars
and delays of payments is really reduced
to 2. cents. Hence they propose to take
the matter in their own hands and TO
deliver the milk direct to the consumers
at the usual retail rates.
We need not argue the interest the
city people have in the matter; it is
evident, and they cannot afford to be
idle while this move is going on. With
out their cooperation the plan can
hardly be success. Already the milk
middlemen are saying to the farmers,
"The city customer will not buy Of you"
If the city resident is sincere in his de-
sire for pure milk, he must urge on and
aid this new movement; otherwise it
will fail, and the present supply OF milk
that is not milk, but little of chalk, a
little of salt, a great deal of water, and a
small portion of the "pure Orange
county," will he kept up with increased
force. Up to this time the move has
been entirely in the hands of the coun-
try people, while the really greatest need
for the reform is upon the part of the
inhabitants of the city. The meeting on
the Oath will afford them an opportunity
of showing openly their appreciation OF
the movement, and they should before
that time give the farmers earnest en-
couragement through the public prints.
The association which proposes to
carry out this excellent plan is acting
under charter from the State of New
York, and is composed OF farmers of high
standing and property in every county
which sends milk to this city. Its Presi
dent is J. B. Hollister, of Vermont ;
Vice. President, J. E. McNaughton, OF
the same State Treasurer, 7. s. Gold,
OF West Cornwall, Conn.,: and Secretary,
w. L. Benedict, of Orange county, N.
Y. These gentlemen propose a company
with capital of S1,O0O,O0O, in 10000
shares of $50 each. They will without
doubt easily laise that amount them
selves, and will ouly ask the people of
New York for their patronage but when
it is remembered that over 500, 900 quarts
of the present so-called milk are sold in
New York every day the immense profits,
even at small margin, became plainly
evident.

The Road to Siberia.

During the reign OF tne Czaf Nlcnolas,
and we presume there have been but few
changes since, the nobility in Russia
possessed mauy privileges, and thosenot
lesst appreciated, were exemption from
corporal punishment, and in ordinary
cases the being conveyed to Siberia in
stead of proceeding thither on foot.
The unfortunate individuals sent to
struggle against the incleme1cy of a
hard climate, and the brutality of
harder taskmasters, were divided in two
classes; those merely transported and
those transported with hard labor. The
journey from Kiew to Tobolsk took one
year, whilst the convicts whose destina-
ton was the mines of NertcLinsk seldom
reached it If they did reach thunder
two years. For the bones of many of
them that perished OF cold, of i'll usage,
of sickness, were scattered over the In
terminable Russian steppes, to serve as
finger posts to the melancholy conveys
that followed the same desolate route.
These conveys generally consisted OF
one hundred to two hundred and fifty
persons, men, women and children. An
armed Cossack on horseback then fol.
lowed the convicts, chained together in
gangs of twenty, with Cossack inter
venting between the gangs, and posse
of those very irregular cavalry men
closed the procession. The czar was
merciful to women; they were not
chained. The sick were gently treated
they were allowed to ride in vehicles
with iron rings round their necks. like
wild beasts in menageries.
Entire silence reigned in these process
sions; the only feeling noticeable was
the dull apathy of despair. During sleep
no one could move without causing
more or less severe pain to his mate.
During meals the convicts crouched
round fires guarded closely by the Cos
sacks. Each column marched two days
and then rested for one day.
Beyond Nishni Novgorod, when Or
dinary edifices became few and far be-
tween, long low isolated buildings
were constructed to serve as pens for the
herds of human cattle. Moreover,
guardhouses were established at irregu-
lar distances to relieve the escort The
officer in command was responsible for
the prisoners. he was like the captain
of ship at sea he WAS absolute master
over all, and could infict any punish
ment short of immediate death. Some
officers, however, were occasionally found
who remembered that the prisoners had
once been men and women with souls OF
their own, and who did not feel any
especial delight in infictlng upon them
unnecessary physical sufferings. One
OF these conveys was calculated to arrive
weekly at Tobolsk, where sat govern
ment commission, charged to distribute
the convicts according to the require
ments of the public service. About ten
thousand passed annually through Tob
DISK.

A German Spy.

A German, who in spite OF the decree
of expulsion, contrived to remain in
France throughout the late war, has just
published a history of his experiences
during that time Among other interest
ing matters touched on by him, the fol.
lowing is his account, derived, as he tells
US, from the Sub Prefect of Glen, of the
arrest and execution of the Prussian spy
Hardt:
The word espion Prussien was in every
mouth in every foreign face spy was
seen. The spy fever had reached tbe
smallest places. Under these circum-
stances, young and gentlemanly- looking
man was arrested in Glen; his foreign ap-
pearance had caused remark and his steps
were followed. he arrived late in the
evening before by rail, and early in the
morning had left his hotel, crossed the
bridge over the Loire, and, stopping often
to examine the country, was seen to take
notes. This was enough, naturally; he
was at once made prisoner and brought
before the Sub Prefect, NJ. B., worthy
man, but strict and upright functionary.
"Who are you, and what is your name 2"
asked NJ. B.
"My name is Won Hardt," was the an
swer. IL am Prussian by birth, was
formerly a Prussian officer, but left the
army about year ago, and went over to
London to take situation in house of
business"
"What brought you here just now, at q
time when our nations are engaged in war
with one another2"
THE war is the cause of my leaving
my situation in London l am on my way
to join my family in Switzerland"
"But what made you break your journey
through France at Glen, which possesses
neither Importance nor attraction, except
from strategic point of view2"
81 could go no farther, as my money
ran out the few coppers you found in
my pocket will convince you of that and
I was expecting remittance here"
"How came you then, to have those
Typographical notes of the region round
Glen il your pocketbook9"
Don't you think it natural" was the
calm, unembarrassed reply, "that ennui
should drive me to take them9 Besides,
l like to benefit by my travels; The
country attracted me, and l simply gave
way to an old habit of collecting notes of
travel"
The interview then ended; nothing
suspicious was found in the prisoners lug
gage, but on the next day he was handed
over to the military authorities at Orleans
then was sent to Paris, brought before a
court martial and shot. The personal
impression made upon the sub Prefect was
very favorable to the young man. NJ. b.
assured me that he preserved in his pres
ence the dignity and bearing of a gentle
man, that his GOODNESS, the tirmness ofhis
demeanor, and his language imposed upon
him, and inspired him With real sympathy;
he debated with himself for moment
even whether he ought not to release the
man, but he was obliged to own to himself
that appearances were strongly against
the prisoner, and that his responsibility
to his superiors and to his conscience left
HIM no choice. Moreover the excitement
in Glen was so great, that the release OF
the suspected stranger would have had
the worst results.
