Under the reduced fee Of four cents per bale

with last season, while Notwithstanding the
increased business the expenses exceed last
year only $1362 IS.
The following shows tho status Of the two

1t will thus be observed that the surplus to
the credit or supervision account at the date
Of the last annual meeting, has been reduced
to $5S21 80.
1t must be remembered that in consequence
OF quarantine our business this season has
been materially delayed, and 50 far, although
general opinion has settled upon larger crop,
the receipts ut this port are decidedly short
of last season. Whether we shall increase
later 80 as to equal last year is problematical.
At all events we see no reason thus far to pre-
diet any material deficit In the resources of
either department..

Prison Discipline in Japan.

Some interesting particulars are given
in the Japan Gazette of the convict
prison of Tsukuda-Jima, near Toxic.
The prison was founded by General
Hawaii, the Prefect of Police, who, after
having inspected the various prisons in
Europe, resolved to introduce into
Japan system of imprisonment which
should be both humane and profitable
to the State. With the consent of the
Government, he established, about five
years ago, the Tsukuda-Jima prison,
which is under the control of the police
department, and in which the principal
rule is that each prisoner shall con-
tribute SO far as he is able towards his
own maintenance. At the present time
there are two hundred and forty-six
warders and other servants, whose
monthly wages amount to 1850, includ-
ing the salaries of nine surgeons. The
prison stands upon nineteen acres of
land, more than three of which are
covered by buildings; and in the month
of March it held thirty-three hundred
prisoners, of whom only one hundred
and four were women. The total ex-
penditure for 1877 was rather under
100000, of which e15,0O0 was paid out
of the prisoners earnings. One of the
principal trades carried on in the prison
is that of brick-making. at which more
than three hundred of the convicts are
employed, the clay being brought from
Toxic. The bricks are sold at the rate
of four dollars per thousand, and good
workman can make as many as twelve
hundred in eight hours. Forty con.
victs are employed in making boots and
shoes, and all the boots for the police
are manufactured here. There are 8
smithy and carpenters shop in the
prison, and among the miscellaneous
articles turned out are umbrellas, china
ware, toys and various kind of lacquer
work. There are also several printing
presses in the prison, while the youngel
convicts have large school-room, il
, which they are taught Japanese ant
/ English and are made familiar witt
different trades. A detached building
is set apart for the detention of person
t who have been sentenced to imprison
: ment for press offenses, and this part o
the prison is described as being yer,
r comfortable and we'll furnished, tn
cells being all provided with writin
: materials. All the convicts are allowe
to take warm bath once a day, but
e is not stated whether they are in th
habit of availing themselves of tn
/, privilege, or. whether this rule in an
e way accounts for the alleged fact tha

As the evening shadows fold.

How the hours softly murmured
In their gladsome, sunny stream.
How the sunlight brightly glistened,
And how fair the roses grew,
How the love-gems clung and clustered
Round my life, like crystal dew.
As sit and muse, one mem'ry
OF those shining days OF yore
Comes to me like holy incense
From its gemmed and jeweled shore.

Of the Fathers loving kindness

As she told me of that country
Where the how'rets Fever die.
OF the never fading sunlight,
OF the fragrance and perfume
Floating through the blushing gardens
In their wealth of golden bloom.

OF its bliss without alloy,
And she hoped in that fair country
She might meet her list'nirg boy.

OF how gentle and how low
Her soothing whispers sounded
By the summer sunsets glow.
And the soft and clinging pressure

For sometimes, when 1 am weary,

Yes, though many years have faded,
And my brow Is marked with care,
Yet sometimes feel the twining

And the echo of her whisper
Falls around me light and low,
Just as when a child nestled
By her side so long ago.

Ears for the Deaf.
New York Graphic. j

1t was yesterday noon that few of
Mr.. Edison's enthusiastic assistants and
friends gathered around him at Menlo
Park to witness the first trial, in the
presence of witnesses, of the new ear
trumpet which the inventor had evolved
from his inner consciousness.
Mr.. Edison revealed to the Graphic
some two months ago the fact that he
was engaged in the construction Of
highly susceptible ear trumpet, and our
readers will recall the letter in which he
promised, without hesitation and with
out reserve, that he would make an ear
tube by the use of which the deaf could
hear. As Mr.. Edison is himself 80 deaf
that he hears only when quite near and
with considerable vigilance, the utmost
confidence was reposed in his purpose
and his marvellous success in developing
the one hundred and sixty inventions
which now stand in his name on the
books of the Patent Office generated a
wide belief that he could really do what
he had set his hand to do. This conf
dence seems now to be justified and
| realized.
AS Mr.. Edison andhis friends stepped
out of the long laboratory where his
wonders are born to the open porch al
its front, looking south, they bore hall
dozen ear trumpets with them. These
implements looked externally much
like ordinary ear-trumpets, only they
were five or six feet long.

Edison, turning his eager gray eye'
upon the Graphic. "and 1 put one o.
these to my ear. heard several things
very distinctly. 1 heard child cry.
heard the instrument tick down at tn,
station, one thousand feet away; and
heard one curious, softly grinding sounC
that 1 could not identify till 1 followed
it up and found it to be COW biting Of
and chewing grass two thousand fee
distant-two-ffths of mile"
There were present on the porch
Edison, James Redpath, famous for hi
Kansas and war letters; Uriah Painter
noted Washington journalist; w. K
Applebaugh, President of the Phono
graph Company; Charles Bachelor, an
several other gentlemen eager to see tn
experiments. They had waited for
pleasant day.
They speedily arranged series of sig
mails to express al hear" and do nc
hear by waving the hands in peculia
way.
Then Mr.. Bachelor and Uriah Painte
took one of the ear-trumpets and wer
, forth, across the field, to a store six hui
, dred feet distant.
One of them said: "Do you hear N
now?"
: "Yesp shouted they in the porcl
! with laughing accompaniment, for tt
voice was distinctly audible to all wit
the naked ear.
= "Do you hear this?' he repeated,
lower tone, scarcely audible.
Again he was answered in the affirm

Reatification of Plus TX.

[Roman Correspondence New York Evening POST ]
Another project having for its object
to commit the Pope to an extreme pol
icy is the proposed beatifcation of Plus
TX. Of the two hundred and ffty-two
pontiffs, seventy received the honor of
saintship. In consideration of the many
miracles both at home and abroad which
have been accomplished by Plus TX
since his death, it is the desire of a
numerous party to add him to the num-
ber. A petition to this effect has been
presented to the cardinal vicar of Rome,
but it has been rejected by him, and it
is firmly opposed by Leo XIII, who
| considers that this custom was abused
in the last century. The account of the
miracles said to have been wrought
through the sanity intercession of Plus
TX are quite worthy of the dark ages.
The first of these wonders was the cure
of young girl who had submitted to a
painful operation on her foot without
receiving any benefit. Her father then
abandoned the physicians, and prayed
for the cure of his daughter through
the intercession of Plus TX, applying al
the ,same time to the foot piece ot
linen which had been used by him. The
pains Immediately disappeared, and she
was restored to health. Another case il
related by Padre Luigi, a Capucia1
monk of Genoa, and certified also by
the archbishop of Genoa. One of hi
patients was afflicted by painful neu
ralgia, which gave her no rest night O
day. She recommended herself to ever,
saint of the calendar, and yet she wa
more and more tormented, until she be
thought herself to try Plus TX. Sh
invoked him thus: go Plus TX! Yo1
are certainly saint if you are in para
disel Obtain for me the end of thes
atrocious spasms!" Scarcely had sh
uttered the magical words than she wa
cured, and has never since been tol
mented. But Plus TX is not yet canon
lied, although if the miracles centinu
it is not improbable that he will be.

that which is obtained, has heat of
