The readings of Prof. Frank Bradford at

MANUFACTURES.

The firm of Tiffany ~ cooper are quite
extensively engaged in the manufacture OF
Ribbon Knitting Machines for making
shirt cuffs and other goods. They are so
made that they put in perfect welts, splic-
ing threads, &c, without stopping the ma
chine. A little bell is attached to each
machine, and if a thread breaks this bell
gives m. alarm 50 that the machine can be
stopped in an instant. They can also be
used in the manufacture of wristlets and
ribbed stockings. Those machines are
made two, and the quarter gauge or sec
tions of any gauge that may be required,
and vary in price from $500 to $1,000
Some idea of their value may be imagined
when it is known that two quarter gauge
machine will produce % dozen ribbed tops
per day. Messrs. Tiffany & Cooper own
the patent for the United States. All the
knitting mills in this place are supplied
with them and many are running in Cohoes,
Troy, and in different parts Of the country.
Their shop is located by the side of the eX.
tensive foundry of DIN Scott, on Pleasant
Street. Twelve men are employed in tho
manufacture of the machines and they fill
orders only, and at this time are working
night and day to fill their orders In add
ton to the knitting machine business, they
make large quantities of needles for knit
ing machines, such as are used in the man
ufacture of shirts and drawers, keeping five
hands employed. b.

BRITISH Treatment Of PrIsoners.

Ny presence Mt an English prison,
says correspondent, gave me mn ample
opportunity Of becoming familiar with
prison punishment, II was simply
q british treatment. The prison.
ers were treated exactly like 80 many
dumb brutes. They were never per.
mitted to speak until first addressed by
keeper. II they opened their mouths
to say n casual word it was n violation
Of the rules OF the prison, and they
would be punished. Each one Of the
keepers had complete power to castigate
any OF the prisoners who mighthappen to
offend against this system. The punish
ment in those days was something bar
barous. Each OF the keepers, besides
being armed, carried whip Of fine
hemp cord, consisting Of nine lashes,
each one OF which was knotted ut the
end. With this instrument the keeper
would retnliate upon prisoner when
ever detected talking. / have seen n
six-foot keeper put the whip in his
hand, and, carefully spreading ont the
lashes 80 that every one OF them would
strike, bring the lash down on little
puny STRIPPING who would not have the
strength to stand, simply for the crime
OF speaking. This was done before oil
the prison. After the first few times l
would never see II done. would turn
away. It was too brutal. Frequently
they would give prisoner thousand
lashes for certain offences. They would
not be given all at the same time, but
were continued along for several days.
The prisoners backs, which soon be.
came sore and lacerated, would then be
washed of in stiff brine.
Another punishment under the silent
System was carrying a rough yoke
weighing from forty to sixty pounds, al.
though that most frequently resorted
to was the lash. It was m everyday
occurrence to see keeper call q prisoner
mp, make him take of his shirt, and
bring the lash down upon him, leaving
marks which he carried with him TO his
grave. can tell you little instance
OF this.
There was man hero who had served
his time out. He had conducted him.
self we'll, and by industry soon became
comfortably situated. He married and
lived very happily. Soon Afterward his
wife happened TO discover the lash
marks upon his body, and she then
learned for the first time that her hus.
band had been in prison. She became
insane, and he became q broken.hearted
man, when but for these marks all
would have been well.

One who has never visited IN opium
shop can have no conception Of the fatal
fascination that holds its victims fast
boun2-mind, heart, toul, and con-
science, all absolutely dead to every
impulse but the Unsuitable, eyer-increas-,
ing thirst for the damning poison. 1
entered one OF these dens but once, but
| can never forget the terrible sights
and sounds OF that "place Of torment "
The apartment was spacious, and might
have been pleasant, but for it's foul
odors and still fouler scenes OF unutter-
able woe-the footprints OF sin trodden
deep in the burrows OF those haggard
faces and emnciated forms. On all
four sides OF the room were couches
placed Tricky against the walls, and
others were scattered over the apart
ment wherever there was room for
them. On each OF these lay extended
the wreck OF what was once man.
Some few were old-all were hollow
eyed, with sunken cheeks and cadaverons
countenances many were clothed in
rigs, having probably smoked away
their last dollar while others were of
fering to pawn their only decent gar.
ment for IN additional dose OF the
deadly drug. A decrepit old man raised
himself MS We entered, drew n long sigh,
and then, with hali-uttsred impreca-
ton on his own folly, proceeded to re-
ill his pipe. This lie did by sCraping
OF, with FIVE inch steel needle, some
opium from the lid OF tiny shell.box,
rolling the paste into pill, and, then,
after heating il in the blaze Of lamp,
deposit 1t within the small aperture Of
his pipe. Several short whiifs followed;
then the smoker would remove the pipe
from his mouth and lie back motionless |;
then replace tho pipe, and with fast
glazing eyes blow the smoke slowly
through his pallid nostrils, As the mar
cotic effects Of the opium began to work
he fell back on tho couch in state Of
silly stupefaction That was alike pitiable
and disgusting. Another smoker, n
more youth, lay with his face buried in
his hands, and as lie lifted his head
there was a look Of despair such rs l
have seldom seen. Though so young,
ho was a complete wreck, with hollow
eyes, sunken chest, and nervous
twitching in every muscle. l spoke to
him, and learned that six months be.
