CRUEL TREATMENT OF Child, AND A RE-
VARIABLE DECISION OF JUDGE BUNDY.-This
morning, In the Police Court, Jenny Perry. a
m1ddle-aged white woman, we'll known about
the Division, was arraigned on the charge Of an
assault and battery on Annie Crawford, her
adopted daughter. The latter testified that
oner took her up to her bedroom and tied
her hands with rope and brutality beat
her with c0Whide, but she broke away and
ran to the street, where little bow
united her hands. She showed her back, the
Welts and bruises, now nearly week old being
clearly seen. The court, judge Bundy did not

fortunate that Judge Smell was not on the
bench, for he would probably have given her at
least six months

The Gear and the Young Student.

"a Russian Nihilist' tells, in the
North American Review, a striking
story. A young student, relative Of
the writer, had, with few friends,
formed Literary Society, in which the
works of contemporary political econo-
mists, publicists and philosophers were
read and debated. The secret police de-
nounced this society as a revolutionary
organization, and the young student was
imprisoned and condemned to Siberia.
All possible influence was brought to
bear upon the Car, but in vain, but at
last the young mans mother, meeting
the Gar one day in the Summer garden,
knelt and implored her sons pardon, as
serting his innocence. The Gar seemed
touched, and promised to give the youth
personal interview The latter was
brought to His Majesty the next day,
and the Gar, forcing h IN to his knees
before an image of the Saviour, ex-
claimed: 'Can you swear before the AL
mighty God that neither you nor your as
sociates had any criminal design against
my Gfel Can you swear you believe in
the holiness and eternity of the Russian
autocracy." The surprised prisoner an
swered: 81 can swear to your Majesty
that neither l nor any of my friends had
the remotest idea against your safety.
AS 10 the autocratic form Of Govern
ment cannot conscientiously swear that
! believe in its eternity. The history of
other countries teaches US that the time
must come, even in Russia, when the
people itself will take part in the gov
eminent" The Gar tenderly embraced
the student, and giving him ring from
the Imperial finger, said: "This is
token Of respect from your Car. You
have been sincere and truthful to me,
and there is nothing l hate so much as
lie" He then went to the writing table
where lay the students sentence of exile
and with one stroke of his pen, signed
the paper 81 pity you from the bot
tom of my heart" he said; you are an
honest man, and an honest man, true to
his convictions, is more dangerous to
autocracy than an unp'incipled rascal.
Therefore, must punish you, though
never was this duty more painful to me
than now. God bless you, my son, and
Judge me mercifully if l should appear
to be in the wrong" Then once more
embracing the student, he dismissed him
to Siberia.

English Ship Building.

The increase of iron-built ships in the
English merchant navy during the last
seventeen years has been remarkable
In 1860 1874 ships were built-a num-
Der which rose to 5O3 in 1864, when a
check was experienced. For nine years
the number fluctuated between 800 and
$50, but in the last two or three years
it has passed the previous maximum,
and last year 545 iron vessels were
built. The increase in the size is, how
ever, most remarkable, for, while the
number of vessles has been multiplied
three-fold, the tonnage is six times as
great. In 1860 the tonnage of iron YES
sells built was 64,699; in 1865 it was
2S3, 1863; in 1870 the 457 vessles built
were of 1913 tonnage; and last year
the tonnage of 545 vessles was 39O,953.
To put it shortly, in the first half of the
period under review 3,lO3 vessels were
built, and in the second 4,264. But
while the numerical increase in the Sec
ond half over the first was thirty -seven
per cent, the increase in tonnage was SO
per cent With the increase of the nun
Der of iron vessels afoat there is large
increase in the number of those annually
lost. In 1860 there were only seven
iron vessels recorded as lost, and the
tonnage Of 1888 assigned to them shows
that they were comparatively insignifi-
cant in size. Until 1869 the number of
iron vessels lost yearly was under 100
but in that year lO4 were lost, and the
tonnage of 53,4S3 shows that the aver
age size was greatly increased. In 1874
the highest number was recorded as lost,
l59-the tonnage being los, 499. If the
figures that have been gathered for the
past year from some of the chief ship
ping and ship-building centres proves
applicable to the whole country, the iron
vessels built and lost in 1873 will be
found both in numbers and tonnage in
excess of those for its predecessor. There
are indications now that the use of iron
in ship-building may in some degree be
superseded by steel. At several ship
building centres vessels have been built
of steel

A Phenomenal Barber.

Mr.. Sarvis went into barber shop
to get shaved last week. When his
turn came he stretched himself out in
the chair and told the artist what he
was to do. Mr. Sarvis was considerably
surprised at him, for he asked not a
single question, and was exceedingly
short in his answers when Intercepted
on the state of the weather, the political
outlook, etc. While being shaved he
remarked to the artist:
Do you think that my hair needs
cutting}"
The barber ran his fingers through his
hirsute and replied:
"No, not for month yet"
Mr.. Sarvis was astonished at his hon
esty.
Do you think that it needs sham

commend for the preservation of the

"How9'
"Go to some good physician and get
prescription"
"Will you let me have brush with

"Never keep them; they do more
harm than good"
Then Mr.. Sarvis told him he was pos
sessed of the kind of honesty that sends
people to the poor-house, and walked
out more astonished than if he had Just

How Fast Can a Hound Run ?

This interrogation is frequently
heard, and always with varying answer
A practical demonstration of the speed
OF this species Of quadruped recently
came to our notice, and being we'll au-
thenticated by several gentlemen who
were on the train, We give it as an Illus
tration: j. A. Ford Of this city owns
heavy-built mastif hound. Business
one day called him to Ceresco, a small
village eight miles distant, and this dog
accompanied him. On his return he got
on board the train, and did not discover
the absence of the dog until the train
began moving, when he stepped to the
back platform of the car, and there saw
the hound had just started. The dog
overlook the train, but as the speed Of
the cars was constantly quickened, its
endeavors to jump on board were fruit
less. Then the train began TO whiz
faster, and the dog quickened his pace,
and until within mile or two Of this
city kept up with the cars, which were
going at the rate of eighteen miles an
hour. He arrived few minutes after
the cars, his feet sore and bleeding from
contact with splinters on the ties, having
made the distance of eight miles in half
an hour.-Letter to Chicago Inter-

Going to the Circus.

For half an hour or more before the
circus opened yesterday, an anxious
looking middle-aged man was observed
walking around nervously, as if he had
free ticket and was afraid the show was
on the point of bursting up. When the
ticket wagon opened he rushed for it
and bought pasteboard, but while on
his way to the tent, ticket in hand,
woman lodged in the procession, seized
him by the collar, and for half minute
the air seemed full Of every description
of heels.
"Going to the circus, ehi' exclaimed
the woman excitedly, as she slammed
him around promiscuously. Sneaked
ont Of the back way and made a bee-liner
for here, did your
"Let up on stop-for heavens
sake stop this most disgraceful conduct,

as she held up one foot and then the
other, "See them shoes ! I've worn 'em

All the children are as bad of, and we
don't have half enough to eat. That ex-
plains why l am bouncing him-why,
III make his good-for-pothing heels

They fell over a rope as she grasped
him and in the excitement he broke
away, leaving the ticket on the ground.
A boy handed it to her, and wiping the
mud off the end of her nose with her
apron, abe said:
Il haint seen no CRATES, nor clowns,
nor snakes, nor hyenas for twenty-five
years, and seeing this ticket is bought,
I'll walk in and view the golgeousness,
