Labor at Cornell

Hon. Ezra Cornell, writing Of the labor sys-
tenn among the students at Ithaca, Gays the Uni
yersity has paid students for their work about
$4,000 per annum for the last four years, and
estimates that they have earned about as much
more by employment obtained outside of the
institution. A1r. Cornell believes that experience
demonstrates that students can apply them
selves to physical labor for three or four hours
working students,' he adds, ''are prize-takers,
and they are rarely found among rushers or
shazers.'" The difficulty is, however, to furnish
suitable and profitable employment to all who
much work our printing office has employment
for some twenty or more students; we have stu
dents at carpenter-work, etone-cutting, mason
work, printing, ETC.; but all this is not sufficient
for all who apply for work. Our machine shop
is more devoted to the labor OF an educational
character"

along the right bank, is one unbroken
cluster of orange groves. Another fine
orchard is that of Mr.. Fasnacht, on the
LETT bank, further up the river, at his
"Orange Grove plantation. The
orchards located on the right bank are,
however, more sure of yield than
those on the left bank. When the
winters are severe the trees along the
right bank do not suffer so much from
the cold of northern winds as those on
the lett bank. The reason for this ia
attributed to the effect of the river on
the wind, as it sweeps in its southerly
course across the stream, the water
absorbing its freezing temperature.
The yield of a good tree will average
about one thousand oranges, which nj
five cents apiece realizes the very
handsome amount of fifty dollars to the
tree. The grower, however, does NOT
receive any such profit. The crop Is
sold to the fruit monopolists of the
city, while the tree is in bloom, who
guard. gather and transport the fruit
to market at their own expense. The
owners of the orchards do not receive
more than one and half cent to a sin.

Gossip About Faucy Goods,

The trade in fancy goods is at pres
ent at its very lowest ebb. Some of
the new lots, says the jewellers Clrcu-
lar, have arrived, and among them
many novelties. Russia leather. which
has always been used in the manufac-
tire OF fancy goods, has now become
extremely fashionable, and has taken
the place of almost every other mate
rial. Cane and umbrella handles, work
boxes. portmonnaies, glove-boxes, Jew
ell cases, and numerous other articles.
are now covered with Russia leather.
and, as it is one of the most durable Of
all materials, it is we'll adapted to the
purposes to Which it is applied.
A new style of bronzes has also been
received, which are called green and
gold" The high lights on these figures
are very polished, and are of bright
gold color. These figures are made
both of real bronze and spelter. and
may be had at prices ranging from IS
to Sl0O per pair. Some of the designs
are very elaborate, and it is expected
that during the coming season large
numbers of them will be sold.
Fancy articles of plate glass are also
beng imported extensively. They are
all principally WRISTBANDS and paper
weights of all possible designs. Some
of the most beautiful arc those which
have u cubic, pyramidal, or other geo
metrical form. They are made solid.
and are consequently very heavy. The
lines and GIBBS are made with mathe-
matlcal precision, and their high pol
ish makes them the handsomest of Ill
ornaments for library tables; they are,
however, very expensive, and they nav
a duty OF fifty cents per pound, and
cost all the way from IS to $2O.

Horrible Matricide..A Mother Murdered
by Two Of Her Sons.

A mother of seven children was MUIR
dered by her two sons, aged IL and Is
years, at their own home ut West
Point, Iowa. The lady, Mrs. Washer.
had parted from her husband, Doctor
Washer, some time before, and, on
learning of her husbands absence from
home, took this opportunity of visiting
her children, Saturday afternoon. She
expressed a desire to return to her
home, where she was working at the
Reform School, but the two sons pre-.
vailed upon her to remain un-
then to take her home. She
stayed, and at 6 o'clock Sunday mora
ing the two boys murdered her, stab
bling her in the back, breast, and throat.
After killing her, they dragged her
body to the barn and covered 1t with
hay. The youngest son then started
on horseback for Fort Madison to his
father, who was at Keokuk, to come
home, that one of the children was very
sick. He then returned home. The
two boys reported, in the afternoon,
the killing of their mother, and stated
it was done in sclf-defence, and gave
themselves up. They are in safe keep
ing. Their father returned early Mon
day morning.
