Enthusiastically Scene i'm the Massa-
chuSetts Prison.

Coming then to the matter of par
dons, the Warden said he presumed
that was the matter uppermost in the
minds of the prisoners, and the con-
victs concurred by burst of applause.
He said that he had received an envelope
from the Governor which contained
some pardons, but he had not yet
broken the seal, and he did not know
how many there were, or who were the
lucky ones to be liberated by them.
He then took the mysterious and valua-
BILE package from his pocket, an act
which was the signal for the most pro-
found and anxious silence. The anxiety
of man on trial for his life, and await
ing the verdict of the jury, could not
have been more intense and painful
than was manifested by every one of
the seven or eight hundred prisoners.
Taking up one of the documents, the
Warden smiled and remarked, "Well,
like that name" At this moment the
suspense was indeed narrowing; but
Mr.. Chamberlain soon interrupted it by
announcing the name of g Timothy
Cronin." As the words fell from his
lips, there went up loud and stimuli
taneous shout of approval from all his
fellow prisoners. Rising from his seat,
an old gray-haired man attempted
to make his way from the middle of the
chapel to the forward platform, but the
other cOnvicts gathered around him in
such numbers that it was impossible
for him to proceed until the officers of
the prison restored order. Cronin was
sentenced from Boston for life, in 1862,
for the crime of rape, and is now 80
years of age. During his twelve years
of prison life his wife has ever been
faithful friend, and during the time
has earned sufficient money to buy and
furnish q modest house. She was at
the prison to receive him when the par
don was granted. The other pardons
fell respectively upon William McGrath,
Michael RYAN and John Ryan, whose
good luck was warmly applauded by
the prisoners who were less fortunate.
McGrath, who is SO years of age, was
sentenced for life from Worcester for
the crime of murder in the second de-
gree, and he has only been imprisoned
for six years. A son and daughter
were present to escort him home to
Thanksgiving dinner. Michael Ryan,
also sentenced for life for highway rob-
berry in Boston, had served eight years
time, and John Ryan, who was SEN
fenced for fifteen years for man
slaughter in Boston, had served nine
years of his time.-Boston Cor. Ne,o

THE NAVY.
Annual Report of Secretary Robeson

The report of Secretary Robson states that
the ma W is ia remarkably efficient condition,
both as regards the number of vessels and
their armament and sea- going qualities. The
navy at present consists Of 163 vessels, with
1354 guns. OF iron-clad or srmored vessels.
Is arc of a class aud in condition for actual
and efficient service. Four Others of the
class Of powerful double-turreted monitors
are actually on hand undergoing repairs, and
a fifth is well worth the same attention, but
the remainder may becounted as really useless
for any active and efficient purpose. One-half
of the steam, navy adapted to cruising is in
commission and in actual service. This
number of veseels cannot be prudently di-
minished; but, if it is to be maintained. there
must lie gradual and constant addition to
the navy to supply the places Of these which
are each year found TO be worn out and unfit
for further servics, and for this purpose a
fixed amount for tonnage should be built
every year. This tonnage may be small, but
it should be constant and unfailing. To this
end the department has accumulated a large
amount of live-oak timber in various navy
yards, where it will yearly improve in condi-
ton and be available as the very best material
for the frames of any ships it may at any time
be necessary desirable to build. Tue rapid
and almost complete disappearance OF
this most valuable ship lumber from oul
shores, large quantities being sent abroad

Panther Stories.

At the recen. Old Settlers Meeting,
at Edwardsville, ILL.,, the following
panther stories were related:
President West told panther sto-
nv that he held distinctly in memory.
It was in 1888. He was en- route. for
DIR. Edwards Office, in behalf of the
sick. He lost his way, and while wan
dering around in midnight darkness he
heard and recognized the familiar
scream and became conscious OF the
terrible forward bounds towards him of
this ferocious animal Dark as it was,
he saw his way clear from that mo-
ment. But one thing could save him,
and that was his horses heels. To say
/ the least, he did not like "present COM
pany," and he dashed through the
woods at "horse-race speed, pre-
ferring to die in any other way than at
the paws of beast like that
Whereupon S. P. Gillian was re-
minded of panther story which "took
the socks from anything yet told he
was not himself the party defendant In
this suit, else he had not been here to
tell it. It was his neighbor, riding
through the timber at night, when q
panther screamed and leaped upon the
riders back, and raking with his cat
like paws from his head, his hat, slit
ting in twain his garments behind and
ripping open the rump of his horse, but
slipping his hold altogether. This SO
frightened both rider and horse that
race for life was extemporized. Tine
terrified animal in the course leaped
a stake-and-ridered fence aud reached
home, when or how the man never
knew; for when he came to his senses
he was gallantly galloping around the
house. The man died two days after
ward from his terrible fright.

PAPER Production.

From statement lately published, it
manufacturers in the world, employing
$4,000 men and 1870, 900 women, besides
100, COO engaged in the rag trade. The
number of pounds of paper produced
annually is no less than 1900, 600, 600,
one-half this quantity being used in
printing, sixth for writing, and the
remainder for packing and other pur-
poses. The United States, with 5000
machines, produce an average OF II
pounds of paper to each individual.
An Fnglishman, however, is shown to
consume only IL pounds, annually, on
an average; a German, pounds a

gold bars stamped, S31, ASS, 818; silver
bars stamped, Sc, SAT, 1918. The esti-
mate of the Director of the Mint shows
a gain in specie and bullion in the last
two fiscal years of about $3S, 900, 600,
and the stock of specie. in the country
to be about $3.50, 100000. With view
to the resumption of specie payments,
it is important TO manufacture large
quantity of silver coin to take the place
of the fractional notes /; and as its prep
aration at the minis will re-
quire considerable time, it is
recommended that authority be
given the Secretary to commence the
manufacture of such coinage, beginning
with the smallest denomination, and to
gradually withdraw the fractional notes.
For the year ending June SO, 1873,
the decline in receipts from the pre-
vious year was considerable-falli off
from S1S3, 0S9, 500 to $163, 1O3, S33, a
loss OF nearly S25,000,000. The re-
ceipts for the first quarter of the current
fiscal year were two and half millions
less than for the corresponding period
of the last year. The receipts for the
months of October and November, 1873,
were S21, 243, 1926. For the sane
months of the current year they were
500, 755, 81.
The Secretary alludes to the inequali-
ties and incongfuities of existing laws
imposing duties on imports and urges
a revision of them.
The decrease from each source of in
ternal revenue for the year, as compared
with the fiscal year 1878, was very
marked, as will be seen by the follow

terest-bearing deposits, with a view to
preventing the payment of interest on
bank deposits.
The act of June 20, 1874, limits the
amount of legal-tender notes to 1882,
600, 900. The authorized amount of
national bank notes was not charged,
! but remains at 1854, 100000. This act
provides, however, for the transfer of
circulation from the Eastern and Mid
die States to the Western and Southern
States. as may be required to supply
applications for circulation, upon an
apporticnment based On population and
wealth according to the census returns
of 1870. The act also provides for the
deposit of legal-tender notes in the
Treasury, and the surrender Of the
bonds deposited with the Treasurer as
security for the like amount of circulating
notes. Under this provision the banks
have voluntarily surrendered S7,714 $50
of their circulation; sc. 1872, $50 of the
notes of banks In liquidation are still
outstanding, and small amount ($2,
O72, 754) Of the 1854, 900, 900 remain.
