abandoned, and last night the office was

be provided and the gas turned on. The

seriously injured.

training of one of these fascinating men
until he can safely be trusted upon the street
would be wholesome and purifying. No
punishment inflicted upon woman would
compare with II.
In regard TO a reformatory institution for
outcast girls, permit me to say with the edi-
tor OF The STAR, "Manifestly proud man
does not shine as refor1ner in this particu-
lar field OF sin" and men who are good and
wise are quite willing 10 entrust this work
To The hands and hearts of competent women.
AS Col. Lubey and your honorable board
are well acquainted with the fact that the
board OF trustees ofthe Girls Reform School,
acting under charter granted them by the
District legislature in June, 1873, are faith
fully devoting themselves TO the work of Sc
curing Just, humane and efficient provision,
not Only 1or the proper care and reformation
OF the outcast girls of the workhouse, but for
the separate protection, Christian care and
training OF the younger and more innocent
girls, who have just fallen into sin, trust
you are too wise and kind to bar our pro-
tute for the institution we ask for.
Further, aside from the present excellent
use 10 which the old Georgetown aims mouse
is devoted, IL lies so low and is so plainly
under the immediate observation Of some
OF The finest families OF Georgetown heights
tnat you will observe il can be in no sense
suitable place for the medical care of the
wretched outcasts, or OF the far more pitiful
ana suner1Dg cases of the unfortunate young
girls who would be glad to flee any where
out OF me world ]" rather than give birth to
their Dameless children.
therefore pray that you will not adopt the
pan proposed In Col. Lubey's letter, and
mat you Will make suitable provision for
inc reformation OF far more dangerous and
very respectfully, SARA J. SPENCER,

Seal Fishing.

The prosecution of the seal fishing on
the coast of Newfoundland involves more
danger ami hardship than is generally
known. About three weeks after leaving
port the seals are "ssruck," and are frequent
ly found in such numbers us to blacken
the ice for miles around. The seal hunters
leave their vessel either Ill punts or 10y
directly jumping on the ice, according to
the ships position. Their dress usually
consists of IL heavy "Guernsey frock," fiat
peaked caps, sou'westers, heavy pilot cloth
trousers, and oilcloth overalls stuffed into
long sea boots. Their arms are scalping-
knife and a long pole with gaff at the
end called bat" The seal is easily de.
spatched 10y single blow OF this rude
weapon on the skull. With the sculping-
knife the glistening, oil-laden pelt is re-
moved from the carcass which is left on
the ice. The cry of the seal when APP
preached by its human enemy is most pte-
Gus, and bluff and hardy hunters have Of
ten been know to hesitate before welding
the fatal blow, especially if the pleading
seal is guarding its young. In that tickle
Arctic atmosphere, and when the body OF
! The seal is u long distance from the vessel,
fthe hunters are often benighted when
storms arise and open Il cham e in the ice
that separates them from their craft
Sometimes the vessel has to bear away for
safety, and many Of the crew perish from
cold and hunger unless luckily picked up
by some other vessel. At other times, when
the ice grows weak, they remain for hours
together immersed to the knees or perhaps
to the middle OF the body, on trai cakes
of ice. Ii they should survive this dread
full torture and be rescued, the evil Of frost
burn awaits them, and ut the close of the
homeward voyage their limbs are at the
mercy of the surgeons knife.
