Roman plensnre Gardens.

"A Rome correspondent says: Rome
has few places for open,Rir amusements.
The inhabitants who affect such resorts
have hitherto gone into the CampRgna
on holidays, and have BEEN obliged to
hold their mGrrniG, ~ they call picnics,
at the various wine hRlts on the roads,
These arc rural looking places. Each
one consists OF small house, with its
wine cantina, or cellar. A number Of
tables are set out on the grass, under q
coyeringof mats, made Of plated reeds
aud vino branches. Unluckily, there Is
nothing to do al these rustic resoris but
to drink wine mud play at nora, or
some rude game; the result Of bloody

Tramps In New England.

The Boston Transcript says: The
trlmps now travel in gangs, and when
they choose TO turn highwaymen are
dangerous assnilants. A party of four
OF these fellows has been operating in
HollistGn, aud other towns all over the
State have been infested by tramps dur
ing the past few weeks. Everywhere
people are anxious TO get nd OF them,
and wien they manifest q willingness to
"movo on they arc helped to do 40.
Some Of them are young and strong md
able to work, but they have no taste for
agricultural labor, aud 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.
II n return OF good times does not soon
afford tlon employment that suits
them, the question what shall be done
with them aud for them will soon be a
serious one with town and State authori.

Innocent Amrsements.

The New York Tribune contends that
the great number Of crimes committed
by boys and young men il due to the
fact Of evil associations contracted
through inability Of the criminal to find
cheap and innocent amusements. It re-
marks that vilenosS and crime are not
necessary elements in Embellishments
which please the most ignorant lad.
The bootblack whospcnds his last penny
for the Police GdsCtio, or for ticket to
a Bowory saloon, wonld DO Just rs de-
lighted with u Christmas pantomime or
n day in tho fields. The worst social
danger before the nDxt generation lies
precisely in this dire :tion, and Che 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'bo not tainted by either the
books TO which we adverted or by the
plays which present them. These
books, let us add, will bo found in places
where the most careful mother will
hArlly look for them. The issues OF re-
spectacle publishing firms, even Sunday
school libraries, are full Of tales Of heated
passions and reckless bnvado. Even
when such tales are untainted with actual
guilt they give the boy utterly false
ideas of his place mud Importance in life.
Tho yhOlesomest lesson for lad is TINT
OF his own insigniAcancc. Our grand
fathers erred perhaps in stern neglect Of
their children, buttlley tnught them their
place as.silly children, after all. One did
notliear then of ten.year-oll suicides and
murderers in the upper classes, and
newly-breeched burglars in tho docks.

A PhllanthrOplc Failure.

Tho famous Millbank penitentiary,
ono Of the most stupendous failures in
English prison policy, is soon to be
broken up, after sixty years Of unsatis-
factory experiment. Almost oil students
OF prison reports are familiar with the
diagrams of this remarkable "pAnopti.

consisting Of six pentagonal structures
radiating like tho spokCs Of wheel from

upon what seems like trayesty OF the
humanitarian system. It was n "huge
playing, says one Of tho officers; "a
toy for parcel Of pllilanthopic gentle
men to keep them busy during their

and, according to outsiders, overied,
paraled continually for exhibition, and
subjected to incossant changes Of dis.

The "Trampn Nuisance.

A committee OF the Connecticut Legts-
lature has been investigating the tramp
nuisance which hns grown to such for
midable dimensions within the Inst few
years. They find that in TINT State dur
ing the past year not less thAn forty
thousand lodgings have been suppliedto
wandering Migrants, more than one-half
Of whom are under twenty-five years Of
age, and have adopted that calling rs a
means Of livelihood, openly ayowing in
many instances, when offered food or
clothing as IN 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 places to procure lodg-
ings, aud 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 hive kindled, and which have de-
stroyed forests, barns, and other prop
erty. The committee have submitted u
bill for sending beggars Of this class to
the workhouse for from three to six
months on the first conviction, aud from
nine to fifteen months for a second
olIense. They also recommend the APP
pointment Of board to present to the
next Legislature a plan for IN institution
for tramps md criminal inebriates which
shall'be self.supporting. They have no
doubt Of the practicability Of making it
30, and in support Of this view quote
the example Of the Allegheny workhouse
in ClMemont, Pa, which has made n
net gain OF $4,000 in three years from
the labor OF prisoners.
