much their own way. We hear of no
sales above 81 C. A large.proportion
of the crop was unstripped on t LIST
of April, owing to the dry weather.
The best authority seem to think how
ever that the leaf cures much faster
when stripped and packed. This may
have something to do with the low prices

After long discussion on the Tariff
bill was stopped and the House got
fairly at it, it made quick work, and it
is thought that the bill will be sub
mitted to the Senate by Thursday of
this week. The business of tie House
is in such shape that i viii be ready
to adjourn on the Sd of June. The
Senate has still considerable work be
fore it. The additional article to the
Treaty of Washington and the Tariff
bill of themselves will necessarily take
much time, so that it will hardly be
willing to adjourn so early.

600 men, the majority of these being
carpenters and bricklayers. The
friends of the movement regard it as

few uneasy aspirants for notoriety,

the trades union, who failed to see any

IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE.-Tn our
own State Prison, says the Boston
Globe, there were 1876 convicts between
the years 1928 and 1866 who had been
sent there under the life imprisonment
sentence. Of these SO were pardoned,
and several others escaped by legal Jug
glery. During decade, SO persons
were sentenced to endure imprisonment
for life in the Ohio Penitentiary, and
twenty-four of them were pardoned.
In Wisconsin for the like term, thirty
six life convicts were received in the
prisons, and twelve pardoned therefrom.
The average term serves by "life men"
in the three States. was a little more
than six years, which is altogether too
slight punishment for a man who has
committed a murder-and in some
cases two or three.
A veritable plague of caterpllars
prevails in the country surrounding
Memphis. In such immense quantities
do these creatures cover the ground
that the tracks of the railroads travers
ing the district most frequented by
them have to be swept before passen-
ger trains can pass freight trains are
divided up, and run few cars at
time. Thus the insignificant caterpil-
lar can do what the stately buffalo can
not-obstruct the course of the all but
theresistless locomotive. Foliage,,has suf
tered severely from this novel invasion,
the woods on the river shore opposite
Memphis being literally stripped bare
of leaves. Growing crops have fortu-
nately thus far escaped injury from
the crawling destroyers of the leaves of
trees.
