The Boy Internal.
Together With the Fool Mother Who TravcA on All Railroad Trains.

1 AOsoIneF "AIh Ine FOOL Mother Who I TravcI on All Railroad Trains. | GFrom the Burlington Hawkeyel q hope nothing will happen to that boy" I the cross passenger remarked, anxious1y, as we were speeding northward from London. The boy in question was about years old. He was entertaining the passengers by run ming up and down the aisle, shouting like a Oomanche Indian. He would run to the rear door, kick the panels and shout sHol" Then he would run to the forward door, kick it and yell "Hay!" When this performance began to grow maddening with the monotony the boy would lend it little variety by pausing to look into some passengers face, while at the same time he would strike at him and shriek. 'I'u kill you" It was very interesting, and we all loved the infant. Now and then his mother would say Sammy, Sammy dear. you mustn't strike the gentleman perhaps the gentleman doesn't like it. And then the gen tleman would lie like Trojan and say: sfOh yes, he didn't mind it he liked little boys" And so we were all worried and nervous for fenr the child might get hurt. We fairly grew with anxiety. He stopped at my seat snatched the lap tablet out of my hands and roared "Gimmy that pencil v and when his mother said, 'Why, sammy, am afraid you disturb the gentleman" Sammy yelled, s'I'u kill him!" l was so anxious about him that I watched him all the way down the aisle to see if he wouldn't fall and break his neck. So we all sat and watched him, with concern
 
 an apple away from the fat passenger, kicked the cross passengers valise, made faces at the sad passenger, and hit the man on the wood box twice with stick. Once, and only once, he made an offer to slap the woman who talks bass, but she glared down at him with a croak that made his hair stand on end and he avoided her during the rest of the trip. At last, just as he was rushing up to the forward door to kick it the impetuous brakeman banged it open to announce station. He cracked that boy on the head with the knob, and the boy acted very much as he would have acted had he been shot with catapult, and it took all the ice water in the cooler to cool of his head, and the boy was effectually quieted down.
 And twas really pleasant to see the wearied look of anxious concern pass off the passen- gers faces as the brakeman dropped the boy. The cross passengers grim face relaxed like May morning, the fat passenger winked at the man on the wood-box who was still rubbing his knuckles with an air of tender interest, the sad passenger hummed merry little air, and the woman who talks bass gave 8 cheerful croak that was interpreted to mean laughter. Four passengers, whose names I could not learn, gave the astonished brakeman fifty cents apiece. The boy, with his head swathed up in wet handkerchiefs, remained cOmparatiYely ouiet

 see before me the Agitator stand, Clad in g striped suit, his hair cut short, hammer piled in his uneager hand Consents to sham but cohquers work unbought. Upon his brow the precipitation g1ows, Less by his work than tumult of the soul. Dumb is the language from his lips that flows, In muttered silence, the hellish roll Of lop-eared penguiDs that have got him in a hole He feels it. but he speaks it not his lips Are with his heart and that is out of jail, Far on the Sand Lots, where his language rips, And every curse his barbsrians hal. There are his short-haired rufdans, freq as air, While he, their boss, in cell of little ease, Gan neither hear their shouts, curse, swear, But must dumbly labor as tyrants please. Arouse, ye Micks, and stone the damned Chinese.

Needlework will not become one of tho lost help it, as the recent annual exhibition of needle work done in one of those schools showed Four long tables were filled with the work, all dons by chil dren between eight and fifteen years old, and there WAS great variety in it. There wss underclothing; slips, skirts and aprons for tiny children several Knickerbocker suits for boys; some little girls costumes, made and trimmed in very commendable style; shirts
 with bosons neatly stitched, collars and cuffs, elaborate dressing sacks, handsomely trimmed, embroidered pillow spreads, edged with ruf
 fling put on with the utmost precision. and aprons of every description. Each piccs was marked with the name, age and class of the pupil whose haudiwork was represented. The older girls gave an exhibition of dress cutting, taking measures and drafting patterns with all the dexterity and assurance Of practloed dressmakers. Many of the girls wore dresses made and cut by themselves. 1t 3 o'clock the girls who had work on the tables marched into the hall, and each one stood before her own piece. 'tIt WAS marvellous" says re- port of the exhibition, ito think that such mites as some of them were could do such beautiful work. It would gladden. the heart of an old fashioned mother to see the hem ming and felliug and gathering of the work. It was evidently done by the old rules that were so insisted upon before the reign of the sewing machine spoiled the needlewomen. The threads must have been counted, other wise the work could not have been so exact. And so little time has been taken from the studies, it is incredible that 50 much could have been accomplished; lessons have not suffered either, for it Is the unanimous testi
 mopy of all the teachers that their pupils re turn to their books with new zest after this short relief of manual labor"

The total number of Turkish prisoners who fell into the hands of the Russians during the war amounted, according to statement lately printed in the Golos, to 94, 433 officers and men of all arms and branches of the service The maintenance of these until the day of the signing of the Treaty of Berlin cost Rus sia 5,775 253 roubles, the average cost of pro viding for pasha during his term of impris- onment being l, 193 roubles, while superior officer cost 465 roubles, and non -commis- stoned officer or private S4 roubles, S6O. In reality, however, the Russian journal con tinues, the Turkish prisoners cost the Russian Government far more than the sum named above, es many of them remained In Russia for some considerable time after the Treaty of Berlin had been signed; but, ewing to the miserable condition of the finances Of the Porte, no charge was made by the Russian Government on this account.

It is disgrace to New York city that such death-trap as the Madison Square Garden was allowed to stand until it fell in, and it will be disgrace to tho city If somebody is not punished for the accident" It is not likely, however, that anybody will be. The Times says: Charges have been repeatedly made that the administration of our Depart ment of Buildings was grossly inefficient, and that its methods were notoriously corrupt Repeated attention has been directed to these charges by Alderman Marshall, and the board has been importuned to institute an inquiry into them. Such motions have, however, been uniformly rejected by the Tammany Republican coalition in the Board Of Alder = men, who have also defeated every attempt made by the Mayor to appoint successor to the present superintendent of buildings. in apportioning the blame for last nights disas- ter, the Aldermen should not be forgotten"

For many years Sherman has, it is said, virtually decided the disposition of the offices in Ohio, and for every friend he has made by giving him place he has raised up half dozen enemies among disappointed ap- plicants. In the course of time he has thus offended good many men of considerable prominence, who have been waiting for a chance to wreak their revenge, and now find it ready to their hand This Is certainly plausible.

The Washington correspondent of the Pitts burg Commercial reports the Secretary of the Navy as saying that his efforts to nationalizs the navy are not meeting with the permanent success that he anticipated, as, while he had no difficulty in enlisting all the boys he wanted, he finds that the Western apprentices do not take to salt water as freely as was expected, and he is now constantly besieged by their friends to permit their discharge, principally on the ground of home-sickness From the records of the department it appears that about seven-tenths of the boys enlisted on the Western rivers are now anxious to get back to their homes, and the Secretary thinks that he will be compelled to rely upon the Atlantic sea-board cities to furnish the young recruits who shall man our future navies.

The attack upon the tramps continues wig orously. A law modelled upon the tramp law of Connecticut is now before the Governor of New York for his signature, which it will doubtless receive, and thus one more State will be defended from the incursions of tramps. In this connection 1t is encouraging to note the result of the tramp act adopted in Pennsylvania. It has not only done much to abate dangerous nuisance, but it has re- duced the cost for the support of tramps, the justices and the constables' fees very mate rially. In the county of Cumberland alone the saving, as compared with the previous twelyemonth, has been about $20, ,OoO
