The Tramp " Nuisance.

A committee of the Connecticut Legis-
lature has been investigating the tramp
nuisance which has grown to such for
midable dimensions within the last few
years. They find that in that State dur
ing the past year not less than forty
thousand lodgings have been supplied to
wandering vagrants, more than one-half
of whom are under twenty-five years of
age, and have adopted that calling as a
means of livelihood, openly avowing in
many instances, when offered food or
clothing as an inducement to work, that
they are professional tramps, and are
bound to have living without working
for it. Some of them are supplied with
maps showing the most profitable roads
to travel, the best placest to procure lodg-
ings, and giving the names of families
most likely to feed them. In addition
to the burden of supporting these worth
less fellows in idleness, the public have
suffered serious loss from fires which
they have kindled, and which have de-
stroyed forests, barns, and other prop
erty. The committee have submitted q
bill for sending beggars of this class to
the workhouse for from three to six
months on the first conviction, and from
nine to fifteen months for second
offense. They also recommend the ap-
pointment of board to present to the
next Legislature plan for an institution
for tramps and criminal inebriates which
shall be self-supporting. They have no
doubt of the practicability of making it
50, and in support of this view quote
the example of the Allegheny workhouse
in ClaI emont, Pa, which has made q
net gain of. $2S, 900 in three years from
the labor of prisoners.

$16O, 900 Made in Two Months-A Wall
Street Operation.

The banking house Of Alex. Frothngham q
Co., IL Wall street, who deal in stock privi-
leges, have paid this enormous sum to their
customers during this short space Of time.
Some persons have made as high as $4,000
from only S100 originally invested, and many
have made $1,000 and over from only $50
They paid in a einglo day over $40 600, for
which only $4,000 were received, or $4,000
net profit to various people. They employ con-
tinuously from twelve to fifteen competent
bookkeepels and assistants. With this strong
force they are often compelled to remain at
their work till midnight. This energetic firm
well deserves the credit of being the leading
house in their brerch OF business. and it is
most wonderful to acknowledge that they have
established this business in the short space of
FIVE years. They have customers who reside
in nearly every State of the Union, also the
Dominion Of Canada-even from the Island of
Cuba thev receive orders from persons who are
continually dealing in stocks. Their business
has become so extensive that two experienced
correspondents are employed to attend to their
advertising accounts. Their cards may be
read in every first-class newspaper published
in the United States. To this they attribute a
portion of their success. We advise those de-
string to place their business with q firm pos
sessing the very highest record for upright
ness, and who conduct their business upon
honest principles, to deal with this house.
They also issue q weekly report Of the condi-
ton of affairs in Wall street, which they are
glad to mail free, for one year, to any one who
desires and contemplates speculatipg. Send
for it.-M Y. ECening Mail.

TrampS in New England.

The Boston Transcript says: The
tramps now travel in gangs, and when
they choose to turn highwaymen are
dangerous assailants. a party of four
of these fellows has been operating in
Holliston, and other towns all over the
State have been infested by tramps dur
ing the past few weeks. Everywhere
people are anxious to get rid OF them,
and when they manifest a willingness to
"move on they are helped to do so.
Some Of them are young and strong and
able to work, but they have no taste for
agricultural labor, and farmers are timid
about hiring them. Every month of
idleness confirms them in their vagabond
life, makes them more unfit for useful
labor, and increases the danger to the
community because of their presence.
If a return of good times does not soon
afford them employment that suits
them, the question what shall be done
with them and for them will soon be a
serious one with town and State authori-
ties.

A PhiIanthrOpic Failure.

The famous Millbank penitentiary,
one of the most stupendous failures in
English prison policy, is soon to be
broken up, after sixty years of unsatis-
factory experiment. Almost all students
of prison reports are familiar with the
diagrams Of this remarkable "panopti-
CON-" device of Jeremy Bentham's,
consisting of six pentagonal structures
radiating like the spokes of a wheel from
central hexagon as point of observa-
tion. 1t was conducted for long time
upon what seems like travesty of the
humanitarian system. 1t was "huge
playing" says one of the officers; ga
toy for a parcel of philanthopic gentle
men to keep them busy during their
spare hours" The convicts, petted,
and, according to outsiders, overfed,
paraded continually for exhibition, and
subjected to incessant changes of dis
cipline, began to "give themselves
airs, and to rebel upon provocations
which dispassionate observers must pro-
nounce insufficient. The women re-
fused to have their hair cut, and, after
a stout tussel with the authorities, they
got their own way-as women are in the
habit of doing. On occasion of visit
of the chancellor of the exchequer to
this model reformatory, the gentler Sex
broke into insurrection against brown
bread. Punishments were made SO diff
ticult that they were rarely inflicted, and
Nlillbank became one of the most unde-
sirable places Of residence in the British
islands. Over twenty years ago the pc
culiarities i'll its management were all
abolished, and it has since been merely
an ordinary prison.

Those who visit the antarctic seas
after having been in the arctic are great
ly disappointed in the form of the ice
bergs, for while those of the north as
sumo every fantastic shape that fancy
can conceive, the southern ones are near
ly table topped Jumps of ice, precisely
the same i'll form as on the day they
parted from their parent glacier these
more resemble huge twelfth cakes di-
vested of their ornaments than anything
else. In the warmer northern seas ice
bergs melt more quickly, and assume
far more picturesque appearances but
i'll the Southern ocean the temperature
of the water through which the icebergs
drift is below the freezing point of fresh
water, and therefore insufficient in heat
to melt the ice. 1t is only after they
have moved a considerable way north
ward that the regularity of their shape
begins to be interfered with. AS the
berg travels from the pole, it first reaches
latitude where the summer sun has the
power of heating the surface water
slightly above the freezing point with
out affecting that immediately below it /;
this has the effect of melting in the side
of the berg all round it, and at Just
above the sea level but this notch is
not observed to extend into the ice in
any case more than about thirty feet.
AS the warm water becomes still warmer
as the berg floats further north, it has
naturally greater power, and deep caves
or caverns are formed, which offer in
creased facilities for washing the
larger they become, until the mass be-
ing weakened, large pieces become de-
tached. AS this alters the center of
gravity, the berg lurches over, and either
forms slope, or long spur or tongue
rises and thus the work of destruction
proceeds, until the form of the berg is
altogether changed, and that part which
formed the tongue may become its top
most pinnacle. Hence the greater vari-
ETY. of form in the bergs seen by the
ships passing south on an arc of the
great circle in comparatively low lati-
tudes. The portions that break away
from the berg are termed "calves," and
they are often of far greater danger than
the bergs themselves, for the latter have
a reflected light that renders them visi-
BILE at little distance on the darkest
night; whereas the calf, although it may
be several tons in weight, is not tpercepti-
BILE, or il 60, may readily be mistaken
for the top Of SEQ breaking,

The New York Tribune contends that
the great number of crimes committed
by boys and young men is due to the
fact of evil associations contracted
through inability of the criminal to find
cheap and innocent amusements. It re-
marks that vileness and crime are not
necessary elements in the entertainments
which please the most ignorant lad.
The bootblack who spends his last penny
for the Police Gazette, or for ticket to
a Bowery saloon, would be just as de-
lighted with Christmas pantomime or
a day in the fields. The worst social
danger before the next generation lies
precisely in this dire ton, and the only
help for it is in the provision for the
lower classes of rational, clean amuse-
ment, and in the personal supervision
of every educated boy by his parents,
that he be not tainted by either the
books to which we adverted or by the
plays which present them. These
books, let us add, will be found in places
where the most careful mother will
hardly look for them. The issues of re-
spectacle publishing firms, even Sunday
school libraries, are full of tales of heated
passions and reckless bravado. Even
when such tales are untainted with actual
guilt they give the boy utterly false
ideas of his place and importance in life.
The wholesomest lesson for lad is that
of his own insignificance. Our grand
fathers erred perhaps in stern neglect Of
their children, but they taught them their
place as.silly children, after all. One did
nothear then of ten -year-old suicides and
murderers in the upper classes, and
newly-breeched burglars in the docks.
