How Declarations are discouraged


from Inc Jersey Ctfy w. II J 1ouFHut.
The account af the robbery of the New
Brunswick Hosiery Company, and of the
way 10 which the officers OF the company
allowed the thief to 60 scotfree, on con
dition of his father repaying the company
the S142,009 which his son had stolen,
furnishes another instance of the most
potent agency in encouraging young men
to become spectators and defaulters. -
This corporation finds that young man in
its employment has robbed it of Sl42, 900
10 cash. What do they do? Arrest this
dishonest man and put him in the way of
receiving punishment? Not bit of it
They are much more anxious to get the
hole in their corporate pocket mended than
they are to have justice done and roguery
discouraged. Therefore they accept the
proposition made by the young mans
father, that if he will pay back the stolen
money they will take no steps to prosecute
the offender This is direct compound
ing of the felony, and what Is worse. is a
direct invitation to some other tempted
and other people'e money. This same
course of coluding with rogues and CON-
pounding their crimes SO as to give them
immunity from legal consequences has
been pursued in scores of cases during the
last few years. and it has been the prolific
cause OF the numerous defalcations and
robberies that have occurred Corpora
tons and business men who take this
method of settling with thieves, deserve nc
sympathy when they are robbed, and. as
long as this practice prevails, SO long will
those offenses multiply. A young man,
finding the opportunity to steal money,
says to himself, We'll, I'll have at least
two good chances of getting through with
this little job unframed. | may not be
detected, and if not, it will be all right
and if I'm caught. I'll make the sufferer,
compromise and let me off " How long

Proposed Connection of the Caspian
and Black Seas.

AN American engineer of eminence, Mr..
Spalding, has submitted to the Geograph-
ical Commission of Russia remarkable
report upon the Caspian and Black Seas.
Mr. Spalding maintains that the Caspian
is drying mp, and will slowly become a
desert, while the diminution of rainfall
will destroy the surrounding territories.
This, he says, has already occurred in
historic times, whole countries having
been desolatcd by the shrinkage of the
Caspian. He recommends that a deep
and broad cutting should be made from
the Caspian westward, to a point where it
would be five meters below the level OF
Black Sea, and smaller cutting from
that point to the Black Sea. The water
of the latter, which is fifteen meters high
er than that of the Caspian, would then
cut a deep and broad channel for itself,
and refill the Caspian to its old level, Civ
ing, in fifty years, straight ocean commu-
nication between the Mediterranean and
Persia. The distance between the Black
Sea and the Caspian is 100 miles. The
period required for refilling might be re-
duced one .halfby cut connecting the Don
and the Volga, SO that the waters of both
rivers, instead of those of the Volga only,
might fall into the Caspian. Mr.. Spald-
ing calculates that the two cuttings might
be finished in six years, but says nothing
of the expense, which might, however, be
reduced by the employment of convicts
and the penal regiments in the army

Progress Of Art in England.

THE forfeit annual meeting Of the Art
Union of London was held recently in
Willis Rooms, and from the report read
on that occasion it appears that art, and
especially industrial art, is making won.
derful progress in England. The report
says:
Since the establishm ent of art schools
in this country, under the control of the
Science and Art Department of the Privy
Council. the progress in the education OF
the people in this direction has been re-
markable, and in the last report of the
Council it is stated that in the night
classes the number of students amounted
to 81 ISL, and in the elementary schools
900, 425 children were instructed. The
total number of persons taught drawing,
painting, or modelling amounted, in 1874
to $40 ,3S2. An evidence OF the capacity

Improved Feeding.

THE change in the markets, by which
hogs and cattle find a ready market at
any season of the year, is an additional
argument in favor of an entire de-
parture from the old system of feeding.
Every thing conspires to show that the
best and most economical plan is high
feeding Of hogs and cattle from birth I'M
til ready for market. Push them is the
word. Put on the flesh and fat To the ut
most limit of their capacity. Abandon
the old practice of building up in summer
to be wasted in winter. The evidence is
clear that hogs can lie made heavy enough
for market at ten or eleven months old as
well and cheaper than at twenty months.
Steers can be made to average fourteen hun
drCd in twenty four months. as well as in
forty eight, by the old system. Stuff them
but do itwith Judgment and system. Not
onlyis the farmer waking up to these facts,
but the new breeds of hogs and cattle will
Justify such a course. Let any one who is
hCSitating on this subject but look at the
items we weekly give of heavy pigs and
steers. The farmers too often raise their
steers in Il half.staryed condition until
three years old, when they are sold to the
feeder at low prices. Whereas, if the
same amount had been wisely given to
the steers for two years instead of spread
ing it over three years, they would be
ready for the butcher at good prices. The
lean steer at three years is worth $50.
The fat steer at two years, which has been
crowded, is worth $50 And the cost of
high feeding is not so different from Just
enough to counteract the cold and keep
alive. Let US then shorten the age of steers
one year, and reduce the age of hogs one
half. This is the new road to prosperity

Let 1t Dry.

Mr.. STURGEON once went 10 preach in
a church little outside of London. The
day was wet and muddy, and the pants OF
Mr.. Spurgeon were plentifully covered
with dirt A good deacon in the vestry
said: Brother Sturgeon, let me get i
brush and take off some Of that mud, you
can't 90 into the pulpit in that state.
Don't be foolish, Deacon said Mr.
Spurgeon, in his usual good humored
way, don't you see the mud is wet, and
if you try to brush it off non you will
rub the stain into the cloth? Let it dry,
and then it will come off easy enough and
leave no mark" There is an admirable
hint here for every one. When evil
spoken against as we may be for the sake
of truth, and men throw mud at us, don
be in hurry about brushing ii of. Too
great eagerness in this respect is apt to
rub the stain into the cloth. Let il dry,
