she turned the thirty.seven boys over to the
training ship, the old "Ironsides," or Con

them--were thinking OF home and their last
days on earth or water. The Wachusett is

Prussia has eighteen prisons for tramps
and Migrants. In 1874 there were 1900 com
mitments to these institutions, but the num-
Der has increased every year, and for 1878
was 5000. Or these 5000 we're men and 1000
women. They cost the country S650,000, but
earned while In duranee S275,000. Many OF
the arrests were Of capable artisans, who were
really DESTROYS of finding work. The increase

The question of Sunday laws is entering
into the pending Virginia campaign. The
rural districts want the laws strictly enforced,
but the cities want them relaxed, and a Citi-

Sunday observanees without regard to the
State law. The same issue will enter into the
next Texas law. Marshall fTex) jury has
just fined newsboy $25 for selling newspa-
