MARK TWAIN IN NEWGATE.

The London correspondent OF tho
Cincinnati Commercial tells this:
An American lady who was being
shown through ono Of the shows i'll
Lon~on-rTewg other day ex-
pre- sscd herself rather forcibly to tho
warden Concerning several features of
the prison which hardly appeared to
her humane. She was grievcd to sec
the elaborate and new machinery for
holding prisoners tight while they arc
logged with tho cat, st tool. for holding
their feet, and similar arrangements for
their body and hands. The lady asked
where the thumb-scrcw was. Tho
warden innocently replied that they
hat.n't any. However, he must after
ward have pondered moro profoundly
over tho sarcasm Of the inquiry, for
moro recently another American lady,
upon giving expression to a similSr
feeling about the rcsuscitatcd stocks,
wns sharply told by the warden that
they had managed to get along there
without 1iogging for many years until
some Americans came over and began
to gurrote the citizens, and this was
found to be the only way of dealing
with them. The lady replied that 1t
must havc been because tho English
come over and took away their business,
since American prisons were full of
Englishmcn.
"Howcver," shc added, 1--WE don't
torture them"
On coming to tho small alloy In
which executed criminals aro buried,
this 1ady-who is a good Quaker
shuddcrctl at that, and the warden
said:
"You will notice here that ours Is
~ Gn
plan. In America they give the bodies
Of executed criminals to their friends,
who, as likely rs not, make Il hero OF
him and bury him with pomp. But
these scoundrels dread being buried
away in this alley almost as much us
they dread the galIows. This is chief
part OF their punishment"
The lady having suggested that cxe-
cution "was quite enough, the warden
replied: "Not bit of it. l wns show

admired our arrangements exceedingly,

Itx-Guv. Wurmuth, Of Louisiana, was
present (on oXhihition, AS he said) at
the recent Now Hampshire State Fair,
and made an amusing speech, in which
he told some Of his own experiences in
life. lie said that like cvcry other
public man Just now nc has Il great
affection for farmers. His father was a
farmer, aud tried 70 make ono of him
by apprcnti"ing him to an uncle; but
at the end OF six months the uncle
waited upon the elder Warinoth and
said, cha; boy may he bright enough
and smart enough, but he won't make
a farmer; take him homc.' So his
father took him home and upprcnticcd
him to Il printer. But tho boss didn't
him, and in year no sent
him home, and the old gentleman sent
him to study theology. But he failed
in that too, and again went home, and
the old folks in despair summoned Il
council, which decided that there was
nothing left but politics-thc last and
lowest resort of those who could do
nothing clsc--and he became a pOliti-
clan. AS such he ilattcrcd himself thnt
he had been success, but tho vote last
fall set him to questioning whether
after all nc was not n failure in this too.

THE WORK OF MORALITY

When Cain made the historic reply,
'I'know not: Am ! my brothers keep
er9" to the inquiry put to him by his
Creator as to the whereabouts of Abel,
he struck the key note of the refrain,
that to this day is sounding through the
hearts of all who desire to ,shirk the re-
sponsibility of helping to sustain the
moral tone of society. Crime stalks
abroad in the land. Intemperance
and avarice corrupts the fountains of
morality and social purity; the pull
pit, the press and the teachers of
the people hold up their hands
in holy horror and say, why don't
the legislature and the law correct these
abuses; to them we have delegated full
powers, and it is wholly the fault of the
officers of the law that public Justice is
not sustained and the virtue of the peo-
pie protected from the teachings and
examples of corrupted and vitiated
public taste; and suggestion that the
relief must come from something more
potent than criminal laws brings the old
response from all, cam | my brothers
keeper ?"
In the matter of intemperance this
propensity to avoid individual RESPONSE
pliity seems to be exemplified strongest.
Inc moral elements of community have
secured the enactment of stringent pro-
hibitory law, which denoances heavy
penalties against whoeversells, furnishes
or gives away intoxicating liquors tho
vice OF drunkenness is prohibited under

WEIGHING SCALES.
WHAT VERMONT IS DOING

The demand for an accurate weighing
scale is universal, and in that demand
the world pays homage to Vermont, and
particularly to the Howe Scale, now
manufactured by the Brandon Manu-
featuring Company, located in Brandon.
The manufacture of the Howe scale was
commenced in a small way i'll Vergennes
in 1856, by the inventors, Francis NJ.
Strong and Thomas Ross; was removed
! 10 Brandon in 1858, and the business con-
| tinued with varying financial success by
/ the Howe Scale Company until, owing
| to the enormous expenses of salesrOOms,
ETC., in New York and elsewhere, the
company were obliged to suspend, and
did stop operations in May, 1869. The
people of Brandon in this dilemma were
fortunate in having a far-seeing. saga
| cious business man, who Immediately
! purchased the entire business 1--WE refer
to Hon. n. t. Sprague, Jr., and letting
in other capitalists, stock company was
organized with capital of $250,000,
under the name of the Brandon Manu-
! featuring Company. The business has
been constantly increasing since, until
the extent of it is almost amazing. The
Howe Scale Company in its palmiest
days worked about 70 or so men, and
sold in the neighborhood of $100,000
worth of goods annually. The Brandon
Manufacturing Company now employ
800 men in their works, and are selling
$780, 900 to 100000 per year. The
company is differed as follows: Hon.
N. T. Sprague, Jr., president and busi-
ness manager; w. w. Reynolds, super
intendent F. NJ. Pierce, assistant SUI
perintendent: E. f. Dana, chief clerk.
Directors-Hon. N. T. Sprague, Jr,
Brandon Hon. John B. Page, Rutland;
w w. Reynolds, Brandon; George II.
Brown, New York Gen. John B.
Schultz, Manchester, N. j. The mas
ter spirit of the company is Col.
Sprague, who is a gentleman of ex-
tensive acquaintance and great business
ability Mr.. Reynolds, the superintend-
ent, is thorough mechanic, and to him
the company owe much for the regulari-
ty and clock work system which has
been worked into every department,
A representative of the HERALD was
in Brandon, recently, and was courte-
ously shown through the works of this
company by Col. Sprague, and was so
interested in the details of this immense
business that he gives his experience to
the HERALD, as follows The first
building visited was the
TIN SHOP,
where a force of several men are con-
stantly engaged in making the tin and
brass scoops for the scales The number
of men employed here we did not learn.
Next we passed into the
DRY HOUSE,
where there was packed 300 cords of
birch andssmaple lumber, prepared for
scale work. This is kept under fire con-
sta.ntly for eight to twelve months, SO.
tnat it is perfectly seasoned.
THE FURNACE
is the largest in the State, the building
being 300 feet long. The company are
constantly adding to it, in order to keep
pace with their business, having added
1920 square feet of flooring last year,
and 2,640 square feet this year. Where
will they stop? Attached to the furnace
is brass foundry, and chilled iron fur
mace, rooms for cleaning castings, etc.
This building is under the charge of Mr.. ]

loose, tongue coated, pain in the shoulder
blade, feeling sometimes very restless and
at other times drOwsy; the food that is ta-
ken lies heavily on the stomach, accom-

THESE symptoms usually originate from a
