AUGUSTA mourns the premature shutting
GU. of a prospective shoe factory. 1t happen
ed thus. Waverly Hall-a building that for
many years, under various names, has been
used for various purposes, and not so remark
able as "thing of beauty that it should be
preserved simply On the ground of being a
'joy forever"-was about to be transformed
into shoe factory. Now there is nothing
Objectionable in shoe factories per Sc; indeed,
more people would be unhappy without these
industrial institutions, than now suffer the
pangs inflicted by ill-fttiny and diminutive
pedal adornments, but sundry gentlemen liv-
ing on Winthrop street near Waverly Hall,
think otherwise. So when Mr.. Staples, the
practical owner, asked the city fathers for
power to put a steam engine into the build
ing with view of making it shoe factory,
these parties were thrown into CONSERVATION.
They had visions of detatchments of Waver-
ly Hall flying through the all and lighting in
their gardens. They dolorously predicted
that life would be burden when shoes came
to be made by steam in Waverly Hall, and
that death by any other means than by the
fragments of Waverly intruding upon their
privacy, would be joyously welcomed. Besides,
there was whisper of the annoyance of
burning leather, smoke, unfashionably dress
ed workmen and ''things." But Staples in
sisted and secured the right to annoy the good
people with the steam engine and its concom-
itants. Argument failed, entreaty was vain !;
so now these prosecuted people, bankers, mer-
chants, manufacturers, lawyers, all, make up
little pool of $4,000, for which Mr.. Staples
concludes to sell them the lot and remove
Waverly to less fashionable quarters. And
now the State Capital in ordinary mourns an
opportunity forever lost.

of Siskiyou, the northwestern county of Califor-

TIE condition of the Russian peasantry
and operatives IN the factories of that nation
is deplorable, and is getting worse instead of
better. More than sixty per cent. of the
operatives suffer from maladies caused by the
neglect of sanitary precautions in their dwell
lings and general mode of living 1t is furth-
er said that fifty-seven per cent. of the chill
dren die before they are five years of age and
that the average length of life is not over
twenty years. The condition of the agricul-
tural classes is worse and has not been i'm
proved since the nominal abolition of serf-
dom. They live in huts, covered with sheep
skins, and eat with and live like brutes.
Emancipation has not resulted in their ad
vantage, because the government has takcr
no measures to educate them or raise then
from degradation.
