Madame Anderson concluded her task of
walking 200 quarter miles in as many
quarter hours. Considerable money is said
to have changed hands on the result. She
commenced the last quarter mile at 1915
and madeit in 2: S7A. During the last four
quarters she was the recipient of several
presents. The quarter before the last, she
stepped upon the stand and said she hoped
they would keep quiet, SO that she might
accomplish her feat without interference.
She appeared greatly exhausted after her
last quarter mile had been accomplished.

BY another section the penalty was e3
for each person or child found employed
after 7:3O and before o'clock. On Sat
urdays the work was to cease at O'Clock.
Evidence was then given by Mr.. Crut-
we'll and MIR. Lakeman that on the 2ith
of July, visiting Spitalfelds, they entered
the houses of the defendants and made
their way to rooms occupied as work
shops, being attracted by the sound of a
sewing machine. 1t was after IL O'Clock
at night. In Moses place young wo-
man named Mary Kedner was found at
work coat,making; at Berg's, woman
named Charlotte Davis; and at Harris ,
an oldwoman named Catherine Desmond.
Moses and Berg pleaded guilty, and were
each ordered to pay fine of los. and
costs.
Catherine Desmond was called for Har-
ris, and said that she was not working
for the master, but for herself making a
bit of a jacket. She was not "hand," "
but was domestic servant to the defend
ant, receiving IS week. In the course
of her evidence, however, she admitted
that defendant and his son were at work,
as a couple of jobs" had come in that
evening which were wanted by the next
morning. The defendant Moses asked
what he was to do when "jobs" came in
in hurry. He could not refuse them.
Mr.. Lakeman said that was just the evil,
for it often happened that coat or a
SnIt of clothes were wanted for n funeral
by the next day, particularly among the
Jews. Mr.. Bushby gave Harris the ben
eft of the doubt, and dismissed his sum
mons, remarking, however, that it was
necessary the will of Parliament should
be enforced, and in future he should inn
pose heavier pen,,,'tr1ie0-, now that the mat
ter would be made public.

At Worship street, on Saturday, Har-

in the evening. The cases We're heard
separately, but the evidence in each was
the same, Mr.. Lgkeman said that this
was a first prosecution under the Amend
ed Factory Act, and he had to bring un-
der the notice of the Court a state of
things which he thought justified the
assertion that slavery was not yet extinct
in England. The defendants were of the
class who did what was known as the
"slop work" of large tailors, and for this
purpose employed often several persons
Those persons were mostly foreign Jews
and Jewes5es, some of them brought to
this country very young, and in utter
ignorance OF the language. They got into
the hands of the ''middleman," some.
times called the "slop master" who un
dertook to teach them the trade of tailor
Ing.
When competent, and they wished tt
get away from their sevitude, claim
was made upon them by the master fol
board and lodging while they were being
taught. Thus they found themselves
bound, it ending in their having to G
on working for the barest wages to work
off the debt held over them. Thus thu
master made his money by the only
means which could remunerate him, fo
be took in his work at price that lef
him the barest profit. 1t had been fount
that the regulation rate for making Goa
vas Is. 10d., and sometimes as low as Is
ID. was paid, the master having to flint
ueedles, thread, and other small matters
,ut of that. This system had been re

Fair Harvard is the target for hot
shot from Zion's Herald last week:
"With the drinking habits" it remarks,
"now openly prevalent there; with the
custom among the students of frequent
ing Boston nightly, SO that Parker's has
been called an outlying branch OF Har-
yard; with frequent attendance upon the
most vulgar theatrical performances;
with the soc al worldliness, and the lib
eralistc tendency of thought, philo-
sophical and theological, a young man
of any sensibility, with uniformed habits
and principles, stands an excellent
chance of moral ruin when submitted to
such test as is now offered at this an.
cient and time-honored school. Once il
was consecrated to Christ and His Church.
but now, significantly enough, its lean.
ing is thoroughly "secularized." With
all the frst-class religious colleges now

In two pamphlets lately published in
Philadelphia, one being DR.. Benjamin
Lees address on Hygiene" before the
Medical Society of Pennsylvania, and
the other the report of the Philadel-
phia County Medical Society on meteor
oogy and epidemics, we find such
features of public interest in hygiene as
have attracted attention, treated with
considerable practical force and perspicu
ity. The address of DR.. Lees is particu
Iarly interesting to the public and invites
remark in connection with the subject of
atmospheric poisoning. Nv the year 1877
there was an epidemic of diphtheria in
the city of Pittsburg, increasing to great
severity in the month of August. In the
first half of the year there had been a
number of fatal cases, but not 50 many as
to cause much alarm. There were 8 in
January, in February, 4 in March, in
April, in May, in June and 8 in July
but in August there were 81 and in
October no les than 267.
There had been So deaths from diphthe-
ria in all Of the first seven months of
1877, while in the next eight months from
Aurust lst of that year to April t,
1878, there were 465 deaths. This heavy
increase of mortality excited not only
alarm, but diligcnt inquiry into the
probable cause. 1t was observed that, of
the 465 deaths in the whole city, ne less
than ia, Or about thirty-eight per cent,
were in one limited and well-dehued
locality in the southern part of the city;
and then it was found that the portionG
of that locality most seriously afflicted
were along the line of a single
culvert and its branches. The culvert
had been built in 1851 was 50 construct
ed as to te very imperfect in its drain
AGE; had never been cleansed for twenty
six years; had been choked up with a
mass of filth from one to three feet in
depth. This was quite enough; but there
had been an outbreak of the disease on a
line of another culyert, on higher ground,
which wac found to have acted as kind
of chimney for the ascent Of the foul
gases from its connections on lower
grades. These developments made the
cause Of the localizing of the severity of
the epidemic in the limited districts
around these culverts quite plain,
Along with DIR. Lee S pamphlet there is
a map Of the city of Pitlsburg, showing
the Ines of the culverts referred to, and
exhibiting also sorrowful record of the
mortality along those lines, for there is on
the map little red dot for every case OF
death from the epidemic. These are SC
close in the infected districts that it is
difficult to put anything larger than a pin
point between them, the infected districts
being also the foul sewer districts. Fol
every one of these little red dots on tho
map there is little tombstone in some
one Of the cemeteries of the neighbor
hood
This plain narrative needs no elabora
ton to enforce the warning it shoulC
give. 1t is an instance which, in the Ian
guage of the address shows chow careless
ness and ignorance may convert tha
which should be an aid to sanitation int,
positive instrument of atmosphere
