Restoration of tsThe Cat'' in Eng
land

It has been mentioned that in England it has
been found necessary to return to hogging for
crime, and that it has been found effective in
cases where the usual modes Of punishment
were inefficient. The London Times gives the
following in regard to two eonyicts who were
whipped at Newgate Jail:
1.-THE conTicts were Uaniel Duffy, O. lad of 18,
and John Talbot, 20 years of age; the former re-
ceired twenty-five and the latter thirty lashes
with the cat at the hands OF two Of the ward
ers. The prisoners had been sentenced to receive
the loggiug, to seven years penal aerVitude, and
five years subsequent police supervision, for
highway robberies with violence. Duffy had
thirteen 1ashes laid On by one 77arder, and
twelve by tho other. During the whole time
he screamed and writhed in a fearful manner,
and appeared to suffer most acutely. The effect
Of his struggling WAS to cause a much larger
portion OF the back to be discolored than is
usually the case. The other man, who was evil
IDENTIFY Of O. more determined character and
stronger nerve, bore the first few 1ashes quietly,
but at the fifth or sixth stroke he began to ap-
peal for mercy, and continued to do SO to the
end. When lie WAS released from the stocks his
shirt was thrown on his back. In spirit OF
bravado, and With d defiant look, he at once
removed it, and walked out carrying it on his
arm.

found m six feet below the ground, covered with
elab OF marble: the workmanship is OF the best
neriod. This sarcophagus will be opened some
time this month, when al the members Of the

At Monte Citorio, while making the founda-

dancing figures. The place is filled with water,
thus the mosaic cannot be seen until drained.
Early in August beautiful freseoed room was
opened in the foundations Of the house, No. 154

what are called Pompeirian candslabra; black
squares with figures over half O yard high on
them, and 3 rich cornice with putt, or children
holding garlands Since then another room has

FECUNDITY OF Ducks AND Hens
Some interesting experiments have been
made upon the comparative fecandity of
ducks and hens, SO as to determine from
which of the two the larger number of
ggs can be obtained in the same time.
For this purpose three hens and three
ducks were selected, all hatched in Feb
ruary, and nourished with suitable food.
In the following autumn the ducks had
laid 225 eggs, while the hens in this
case laid none. In the following Feb
ruary the laying season began again
with the ducks and continued uninter-
ruptedly till August. They showed no
inclination to set and became very thin.
but subsequently fattening up some
what. In the meantime the hens had
not been idle. The total number of
eggs laid by the hens amounted to 25S.
or SO eggs each; and the ducks pro-
duced 393. or 131 each. Although the
eggs Of the ducks ~ere rather smaller
than those of the hens. yet they proved
to be decidedly superior in nutritive
material. 80 the superiority Of produc-
,iveness appears to Be altogethey on the
side Of the ducks.

1t would be strange In this world, made
up, as far as we are aware, of nothing

occasionally be found at the bottom of

accused of being at the bottom of any

there are hundreds Of us poor fellows
who owe all we have, all we are, and all
we hope to become, in this world or the
next, to the unselfsh love of woman"
The gentleman's face was flushed, and
he spoke very warmly and freely, so
much so that his wife, rocking her baby
to sleep in the further corner of the
room, inquired
But why should you care, John p

Lets have the story" said the rest
of the group. certain that something
good might be anticipated; and John
commenced at first little timidly, but
gaining confidence as he advanced.
When I first came to New York, at
the age of twelve years, to seek my for
tune, I can call myself precocious
chap, without danger of being accused
of an unusual degree of self-appreciat
ton. 1 was quick to learn everything
the bad as well as the good. My en-
ployer used profane language ; 1 picked
up the oaths he dropped with natural
ness that surprised myself even. The
boys in the Office all chewed tobacco.
This was little the hardest 1 ever at
tempted; but after two weeks of nausea
and indescribable stomach wrenchings,
1 came off victorious, and could get
away with paper day with the best
of 'em.
"Oh, John, interrupted Mrs. Havi.
land, her pretty face drawn up into
knots,
"True, every word of it," continued
the speaker.
Zone afternoon was sent with note
from my employer to house in the up
per part of the city. I hadn't anything
to read, but had plenty of tobacco,
and with that / proposed to entertain
myself during the three or four hours
that must spend in tn, passage. For
some distance did not notice who were
beside me. but by and by a lady said
very softly and pleasantly" Would you
please. little boy. be more careful 1 am
going to party this afternoon. and I
should hato very much to have my dress
spoiled"
1 looked into her face. It was the
sweetest face I ever saw. Pale, earnest.
and loving. to my boyish heart it was
the countenanee Of an angel.

THE VALUE OF NEwsPAPEg,-The
following is the experience of ME-
chanic concerning the value of a news
paper:
Ten years ago 1 lived in town in
Indiana. On returning home one night,
fer l am carpen er by trade, saw
little girl leave tie door and asked my
wife who she was. She said Mrs.
Harris had sent her after their newspa-
per which my wife had borrowed. As
we sat down to tea, my wife said to me,
by my given name.
II wish you would subscribe for the
newspaper, tits so much comfort to me
when you are away from home.
II would like to do so, said, l, "but
you know owe a payment on the honse
and lot. 1t will be all can do to meet
it."
She replied:
&C If you will take the paper, will sew
for the tailor to pay for it. ~
l subscribed for the paper; it came in
due time to the shop. While resting,
one noon. and looking at it, saw an
advertisement of the county commits
sioners to let bridge that was to be built.
I then put in bid for the bridge, and
the job was awarded to me, on which
cleared three hundred dollars, which
enabled me to pay for my house and
lot easily. But for the newspaper, 1
would not have known anything about
the contract, and could not have met
my payment ON the house and lot. A
mechanic never looses anything by Ia
king newspaper.
