A Convict Making Moonshine.

About three months ago it was noticed
that many convcts and keepers ut Sing
Sing, in the quarry gang, were more or
less intoxicated when they went in at
night, and many were the devices to
catch the supposed smugglcr Of liquor.
One of the guard heard Il convict talk
ing in his cell and say 3" I've always
been good friend to you why don't
you set up straight. " The guard looked
in and saw the convict addressing pop
bottle, which he then took from him.
1t ha the odor of whisky, and the con-
Wet was drunk. Questioned by the
warden, he said that he bought the
whisky from the quarry distillcry Mt
one dollar per bottle. Under ledge,
hidden by some boards, the warden
found John Short, n convict, at work in
his distillery. He had an iron kettle,
boarded over, which he used as boiler.
Some old barrels contained the mash,
toes, apples, potatoes and carrots. The
still was III full blast, and from half an
inch gas pipe, twisted into u worm, ran
good stream of tolerably fair spirits.
John was searched, and $500 were found
in his possession. He sold his stuff at
one dollar per pop bottle. The keep
ers, he said, were good customers, and
helped him to rig up his establishment,
and he had just completed arrange
ments to supply some neighboring sa-
looms with his products. The still pro.
duced an average OF five gallons day.
MIXED MARRIAGES.. Hon. Robert
Townsend, a Nebraska probate Judge,
has recently taken some pains to ascer-
tain, as far rs possible from official
sources, the law in all the states con-
cerning the intermarriage of whites and
blacks. The Omaha Republican, pub
lishing the results OF his inquiries, says
that such intermarriages are now valid
in New York, New Hampshire. Yer
mont, Massachusetts,, Connecticut,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, Kansas, New Jersey, South Caro-
lima, Florda, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Dis
trict of Columbia. Maine, Michigan
and Illinois report that, although they
have prohibtory statutes, yet the law
with them is dead letter, and that
"such marriages frequently Occur. "
The gentleman replying from Connecti-
cut said There is no law in the state
that prohibits the intermarria8e OF
whites and blacks, unless the black OBJ
jects."

Fun in Danbury.

the family. Amcrry disposition is God

Nelson street, for instance Saturday
he went into the kitchen ahead of his
wife, and seeing two huckleberry pies
standing on the table, he hastily CON
ccalcd them in the ice chest, which stood
open in the back hall. Then he went
down town chIckling to himself, and
ten minutes later the ice cart drove up,
and the ice man brought i'll tiftypound
cake and started for the ice chest, fol-
lowed closely by the fond wife expatia-
ting upon the "muss." He put the
cake upon the edge of the chest and
gave it push over, and when it came
down on those two steamlng pies, a
huckleberry geiser followed, and the ice
man, with eyes and face full of the dis
charge, tumbled completely over the
woman, and disappeared out OF the
door. The wife recovered her balance
as speedily as possible, and catching up
broom went after the ice man, but he
escaped her; then she came back and
looked into the ice chest. and down at
the oil-cloth, and up at the ceiling, and
around on the walls. The men at the
store who were let into the joke by the
facetious Nelson street man are anxious
ly wondering how it turned out.

MAKING THE BEST OF T.-Llttle
Minnie, only three years old, to amuse
a home-sick cousin who was visiting at
her house, brought out her choicest
playthings. Among these was tiny
trunk, with bands OF gilt paper for
straps, very pretty toy, but Freddie
bent the lid too far back, and it broke
off. He did not mean to do this, and
when he saw what he had done, he was
frightened and began to cry. Then little
Minnie, with her own eyes full OF tears
said: "Never mind, Freddie, just see
what a cunning little cradle the top will
make? That was certainly great
deal better~than fretting. She made
the best of it,-Chiiciren's honr.

The PrOduce Marker.

Our city markets that are now held on King
street have caused the Council much trouble at
various times, aud are not now conducted as they
should be. The market people are too closely
packed together on the street. There is neither
to justify this disposition of their
wagons by our country friends. The crowd is
often so dense on the pavement that it is imposs-
BILE to pass or get into the street. Tbs could be
remedied very easily. 1t was the prime cause Tor
moving the market TO King street and the IN
convenience there Is felt by every person who has
marketing to DO for family. .....
The crowd is caused by the wagons being SO
closely backed up together. II every wagon was
required to be four feet apart, the pavement
would be found to be free from the crowd. But
a better way would be TO require tine wagons to
stand with their sides to the pavement; and those
who attend them to stand in their upon boards,
which they could readily bring with them to lay
across the cutters.
In this way the market would be made to eX-
tend as far as TweflA street, and the whole city
would be far more pleasantly accommodated,
while the country people would sell great deal
more than they now do, because great ndmber
of citizens will not 20 into our markets in their
present crowded state.

Tho City hospital.

The Republican has the audAcity, in the face OF
contrary facts, to assert the following;
Besides, the City hospitar was brought forward
by Democrats, matured by Democrats, and pass.
ed by the aid Of Democratic votes. 1t was not a
patty measure and the Gazette and its friends are
equally accountable for whatever loss may accrue
t. the city through it."
There is no truth in the above, it is a complete
falsicatiOn. The proposition the Democrats made
was simply to secure lot of ground for the VII
mington Hospital Society" They did not pro
pose that the city should have anything to do
with the project further than aid the Society by
presenting it a lot TO buid upon; which would
have cost from FIVE to ten thousand, as to position
while the city had had lots Of its that it could
have given to the Society without any cost; or as
one of the councilman suggested. might have
been built upon by the city itself more ocOnOmi-
cally than buying building, if it chose to under
take to run City hospital which no city had
undertaken before.

by three men, who insisted on his giving them
something to drink. The prosecutor was
alarmed and did net venture to refuse. He
paid for some drink for them at public house
and when he left It the men followed him and
suddenly seizeI him, knocked him down, and
proceeded to rob him. He was terribly beaten
about the lead and face, so that his teeth
were broken. Ills face was severely wounded,
and his eyes were so injured that Ms sight was
for long after seriously affected. One hand,
with which he strOve to guard his face, and
which proved to have peculiar attraction
for tile robbers, was so maltreated that 1t is
believed TO be rendered permanently useless.

bering the hand, in order to get at the object
Of their cupidity.
The rObOers made their escape forthe time,
but the police appeared to have had some sus-
picion as to the identity. One of the men

and sentenced to six months Imprisonment,
and when he came out he was arrested with

was an attempt to set up a case of dbatG, but
The evidence for the prosecution was very
clear, and the jury had no difficulty in finding
both prisoners guilty. They were sentenced
by Baron Pigott TO be kept in penal servitude

of the police for five years, and to receive each
tW enty-five lashes."

regrets that Baron Pigott did not give the

briquct of leader of the party, fifty lashes-the
full allowance OF the law-instead of twenty

qualified Tor the offices TO which they were to be
chosen. We hope this nnpsition has been re-

With reference TO the gentlemen on tue ticket

been. The nomination election will be held to-
morrow, and the candidates are VIM. S. McCaul-

has no opposition SO far, and we presume will
have none, and receive the unanimous vote OF the
party. He deserves this distinction. Ills cleo

The Duty Of the Legislature,

The time delayed by the present Icgis-
lature seems to be unavoidable If moi un-
pardonable, and it is serious question
with tho masses If it would not accord
more with the public inter est to put oil
important measures to a test vote, and if
nothing can be do ne adjourn and come
home and leave Mr.. Davis 10 run the gov
crnmcnt in his own way. Lot the people
in conventions and primary meetings take
the matter in their own hands This thing
Of yielding to Mr.. Davis whims because
he happens to be the acct dental Governor
Of Texas, is humiliating. But the same
old rote is being enac ted--when an inch
is yielded, another is demanded
The duty of the Legislature in its pres
ent awkward position is to put every i'm
portant measure to recsrd--to test
vote-and come home, either for term or
sine die, and report progress, and let the
people act for themselves.
