Dressing IxpensiyeIy at Ten Dollars a
Year.

They tell an anecdOte at Washington
of a certain Congressman who proclaimed
that a rigid system Of economy must be
practiced, as the various failures here,
there, and everywhere had dwarfed the
amount of his annual income.
" But what am to do for party dress
cg ?" asked the anxious wife.
Leave that matter to me, my dear,
and | will arrange IL to yoIr satlsiac-
ton" sootbingIy replied H." legislator.
Calling in a reporter, he SET before
him the tempting array o odibles, with
wine enough to send warmth through
his veins and generous ihrobs to his
heart-strings.
Now, my friend, said the NJ. Co. 81

sorted to filibustering processes. The filibus-
teriug movement was finally prevented by
Mr.. Randall yielding ten minutes for Mr..

conference report agreed to new committee

Messrs Randall, Morrison, and KassOu. Con-

IT is proposed in Great Britain to take
the management of the prisons in the
country into the hands of the genera
government, and to largely reduce their
number. There are now 1l6 prisons in
England, and in forty-nine of these the
average number of persons confined
daily is less than forty-nine, while in
twelve the daily average is less than
twelve, and and in only twelve prisons
is there daily average of 400 persons
in confinement. The cost of mainten-
ance of prisoners ranges from about $75
per head to $3.50. The small prisons
are maintained at an excessive cost, and
Mr. Cross, the British home secretary,
believes that large annual saving in
local taxation will he effected by re-
ducing the number of prisons. He pro-
poses to shut up fifty of the 116 at once.
BY the consolidation it is expected,
and with good reason, that the receipts
from prison labor will be largely in
creased, while the fact that all the prisons
will be under the direct management of
the government will, it is thought, have
he effect of securing the adoption of a
uniform system for the care and govern
ment of convicts

A Word i'm Season,

A recent number of the New Haven
Union has an excellent article on educa-
tion in the east and west. We give the
following extract from it:
In New England the Iaboring classes
are growing more subservient each year,
which is a sure sign of spreading ignor-
ence. In very many manufacturing
towns the mill owners claim to not only
own the labor, but the votes of their
male operatives, and it is common
thing for men to be driven to the polls
! k9 so many sheep to obey the command
OF the driver.
In the west there is nothing of this
kind. There is no such abiect depend
ence. The public spirit is more tolerant
the people are untrammeled and free.
This is a sign of intelligence and bears
out the claims of our western contempo-
TaTy.
1t is certainly time for social -. ,,.,,-
tion in New England. Let us get closer
10 nature and throw off the shackles of
precedent and custom. Public sentiment
should forbid the degrading conditions
of our factory life. There should be
more regard for humanity and less for the
almighty dollar.
Factory life presents features of servi-
tude which only need probing and
d scussion to inaugurate the social
revolution limited at by the New Haven
Union.

Mr.. KELLEY, the motor man, and the
managers of the Washington monument
have made bets upon their respective
works as to which will be finished first.
From the fact that Mr. Kelley is secretly
betting on the monument, it is to be in
ferred that we shall have to be satisfied
with steam power a few centuries vel.
and from the parallel fact, privately as,
ccrtaincd, that the monument folks are
taking covert odds in favor of the motor.
it is Judged that George will continue to
oc, upy his back seat for the present.

The carrier-Pigeon is likely to come
into favor again. Tegetmeier, the cele-
brated pigeon trainer, has perfected a
plan for employing them to establish
communication between light-ships and
the shore in case of shipwrecks. By
using the marine cone of signs he is con-
fdent that information as to the need of
assistance can be conveyed from points
which otherwise would be cut off from
all communication.

men who are most Interested. have set to
work to ascertain what amount Of money
is required to secure grounds. put them
in condition and offer premiums that will
insure successful exhibition. They
have come to the conclusion that from
three to five thousand dollars will accom-
plish the entire business. Upon inquiry
as TO where suitable grounds could be
found and what they would cost, the gem
tlemen We're pleased and greatly en-
couraged by the information that grounds
would be leased them in the upper part
Of town for ten years for little or noth-
ing.
Ifproper encouragement Is given the
gentlemen who are talking the matter up

sand dollars. These shares will be
sold to our citizens. or whoever may wish
to invest in the enterprise, which cannot
fail to be success.
To tit the grounds it is estimated will
cost from one thousand to fifteen hun

five hundred dollars to bear the expense
of an exhibition. and for this amount q
