which invites certain class Of diseases

and longevity. Now, II our physicians

The Sewing-Machtn Not a Curse,
but a Blessing.


Touc Editor Of the Chicago Tribune:
sIR:-Mrs. Wynkoop, in her article Of
the Goth ult., she asserts that multiplied
sewing machines have reduced the pay
for sewing, and that sewiDg-machines
have become curse.
Ispprehend that close study of facts
would show that the earnings Of sewing
women have been affected, II OF all, not
10 much by machines as other causes.
The increase in tho amount Of sewing
done ia almost, If not quite, equal 10 the
increased facilities for doing ii; and
thousands Of stitches, per capita, are
taken to-day where there was but one
prior to the advent OF machines; and
there appears TO be no greater outcry now
about the small pay, OF sewing women
than in the days oil thanksgiving. Nor
does 1t appear that wages were any
larger when Tom Hood wrote those i'm
mortal lines;
With 1ngtrs weary and worn,
Win eytlldS heavy and red.
AwOmAn rat, in unWcmanly rage,

And what are its Wagesi

A crus. of bread-lud rGgel
An old lady ut my elbow, who was LETT
pennilGss widow in 1885, with seven
children, the Oldest being but 10 years OF
age, tells me that tho pay for sewing To-
day Is not whit less than when she was
young woman, and stitched, stitched,
stitched" Tor eight months; that, If there
IS any difference, 1t is in favor Of the pres.
ent; aud, l assure you, abe knows whereof
shesE eaks.
Compare the figures: Flannel shirts,
cents; check shirts, O cents; overalls,
cents; and Tor double breasted overcoat,
with body and skirts lined and wadded,
taking two or three days TO make, the
enormous sum Of IS cents. These arc
the prices which prevailed twenty TO
forty years ago; and any old lady who has
survived the neCdle'mill can vouch for
their correctness. 1t is hard TO see where
sewing machines have played the havoc.
The TACT is, the price OF needlework has
been down TO staIvation.pOint so long
that "the memory Of man runneth not
to the contrary" and those who labor
In that field, having little time 10
trace effects 10 their causes, are likely TO
make mistakes; but outsiders, not ground
down in that mill, who rise 10 teach,
should DO extra careful, that the word
they speak shall be the bread Of life. Tho
sewing machine has been blessing. Tha,
the blessing has not been greater, Is owing
q not TO the machine, but rather to elements
In society which tends to the abuse oil all
good things; that element which pandert
10 false pride; that Is ever reaching for the
. snowy and ornamental, TO. the exclusion
Of the real and useful; that lures the young
Of both sexes from the larm and workshop
to get their living in light and genteel
employments, finally TO bring up IN, and
swell, the already OVERLOOKING ranks Of
unskilled labor. Add to these the oppres'
sion Of concentrated capital, that makes q
monopoly OF everything 1t can grasp, and
you have some Of the causes which keep
the sewingwomsn's nose to the grind
stone.

STATE PRISON AFFAIRS. The forth COM
ing report of the State Prison wllsshow some
gratifying results in favor Of the present
mode of operations. Even since the cham e
by the appointment of Supervisors to whom
the outside operations and general financial
oversight is committed, the institution has
done much better than in former years.
The gross income of the prison for the year
has been $104, 041, Of this sum SOL ,Sl3.71 has
been received from convict labor on contracts
The net gain after maintaining the convicts is
$45, 234. Out of this sum $50 900 has been
paid to the State Treasurer in cash. In addi-
ton to paying this amount to the State a new
shop has been erected, 100x40, and paid for
since the Sd of March last, all out Of the net
earnings since that time, besides paying for
the general repairs since the Sd day Of March
From 1866 to 1869 the appropriations to the
State Prison were 1920 900, besides an annual
appropriation of $4,000, authorized since
lS43 showing that $3.50, 600 had been expen-
ded for the mere maintenance Of prisoners.
This is besides the salaries and the necessary
repairs.
From April 1859 to the present time the net
gains over the cost of maintaining the convicts
have been $132, 900, which shows a saving to
the State, as compared with the four years
which preceded the act of March 3d. of about
$400, 900. If matters had gone on in the old
way the State would have been out that
amount.
In addition to the financial view there is
another advantage the discipline has been
BETTER although the number of prisoners has
nearly reached 700 at times. The Keeper has
more time to devote to his peculiar duties,
and everything is made to go ON like clock
work.

G.. III. LARSON.

Y. M. G. A meeting to further the or
ganization of a Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, in this city, was held in the M E.
Church, on Monday evening last. An inter-
esting address was delivered by Mr.. r. e.
Morse, of New York, Secretary Of the Inter-
national Association, explaining the objects
and workings Of such Associations, followed
by remarks by Rev. G. r. Hartranft, Ashbel
WEIGH, Esq, J. A. Anderson, Esq, and 9TH
ers. A committee was appointed to prepare
a plan for the organization of an Association,
etc. That such an Association can be made
the means of doing much good cannot be
doubted, and there appears to be good pros
pect of vigorous organization.

eB- New Hope was favored by an exciting
pig race " on last Thanksgiving Day after
noon. The pig was closely shaven and then
creased. Enough tickets were then sold to
cover the value of pig, and he was taken to
field short distance above the town and
loosed in the open space. 1t Immediately re-
sorted to "leg- bail" At this point there was
an eager rush for the animal, all endeavoring
to secure and hold the "porkic." The pig
evaded its pursucrs for considerable length
Of time but was finally captured and retained
by one of the more fortunate pig-Iunners.--
The day, we think, however, could have been
more proftably spent than by frivolcusly chas-
ing frightened "sniooth pig"

The PooR,-Everybody agrees that the
present Winter will be hard one. There are
numbers out of employment in this city, and
unless they are aided by those more fortunate,
they will necessarily suffer. Perhaps no
better work could be done by the Young
Mems Christian Association designed to be or
ganized in this city, than to take hold of this
work and be the almoner of those charitably
inclined. At any rate we hope to see some
organized plan to relieve the wants Of those
who may be in need. No one can charge that
our people will knowingly permit any one to
suffer. On the other hand they are, we be-
lieve, unusually charitable. But without
some organized effort to seek out the needy,
(for generally the most deserving and needy
are the least inclined to make their wants
known Voluntarily there viii be those who
will suffer without the knowledge of others
who feel it a blessing to give.
