One of our young citizens who went to the
country last week to work ON a farm for a few
weeks and seek ''health instead of dissipa-
tion," returned yesterday little out of sorts,
but healthy. He had blistered his hands
hoeing corn, tore the seat out of pair of
twenty-dollar lavender pants at picnic, one
eye was blacked from attempting to draw
water with an "old oaken bucket" and crank,
his forehead was frescoed with mosquito bites,
stone-bruise gave him the Alexandra limp,
he was freckled like the leopard, andhad been
sun-struck four times. With these few excep-
tions he had experienced an elegant time, and
is going next suDmer-to Jail in preference to
the country.-Clereldnd Leader.

A Cultivated Ear.

One'of the most rem arkable
illustrations OF the power
which a telegraphic operator
acquires to distinguish individ-
uals by their touch upon the
instrument has just been 'af-
forded by Mr.. He mpstead, one
of the operators in the West
ern Union Telegraph Compa-
ny's office in this city. About
a fortnight ago Mike W. Sher-
man, formerly an expert and
well-known telegraph opera
tor here, escaped from the
Middletown Insane Asylum,
where he has been confined,
and, though thorough search
was made for him, he success
fully eluded the people WHO
were on his track until Mon
day night.
While Hampstead was at
work in the office here that
night he suddenly recognized,
among the clatter of a score
of messages passing over the
wires, a sound which he at
once declared was the touch
of the missing Mike. 1t proved
to be a message from Walling-
ford, and an investigation
showed that Mr.. Hampstead
was quite right in attrlbuting
it to me insane man, he having
dropped into the Office in tie
former place Monday night
and taken a hand at his, old
BUSINESS Post.

them in a volume, which he

which is published by su bscrip-

commencing with the first,
written in 1861, and coming
down regularly through the
war and reconstruction, ending
with the ratification OF the Fiji
teenth Amendment, which
closed the stormy struggle.
The work also embraces much
new matter, including all his
lectures, together with copious
explanatory foot notes. An

New York is becoming vir>
tuous. In her Criminal Court
a man named David Massey
has been convicted of the OF.
fense OF distributing obscene
publications through the post
office, and has been sentenced
to pay a fine of $500, and one
years confinement in the pen
itentiary. For New York this
is a good thing we'll done.
The principal evidence that
led to his conviction was the
testimony OF A. +. Comstock,
who, as it appears, had written
to the "Piotessor,' as he styles
himself, under various names
and from differentl places, for
specimens of the goods he was
dealing in. 1t was In reply to
these that Massey had sent his
immoral and obscene stuff.
q. 1t furthermore appeared that
no less than thirteen tons
weight of obscene books and
pictures, all the property of
the prisoner, had already been
seized by Mr.. Comstock, and
that ten tons more of this
abominable stuff were, at the
time Of the trial, deposited in
the cellars of the Tract Society
to await the action of the Court
for its destruction The jury
found Massey guilty after but
a lew minu tes deliberation, and
the Court sentenced him to the
extreme limit OF the law.
How much of such infamous
business is being done contin.
ually can not, perhaps, be fully
known. But the revelations
made in this one case may
serve to show the need there is
of public vigilance for putting
a stop to the circulation OF
these vile and vlllainous arti-
cles, which SO directly tend to
sap the foundations of public
morals, and turn the country
over to a carnival of crime.
