BRIBBRs CONVICTED All decent men will
be grati6ed to learn that the FIVE men who
offered brides to the Pennsy lvania Legislature
have been convicted and sentenced to pay a
line of 81 900 each and one years hard labor
in the Penitentiary. Their names were,
Kemble, Crawford, Petrotf Softer and Rum
berger, and were employed by the railroads to
secure the passage of bill authorizing the
payment of 100000 to the railroads for
the damages by the riots of 1877. 1t was esti

SUM W. H. kemble was at one time State
Treasurer of Pennsylvania. All were men of
wealth and position and their summary con
viction and punishment falls with terrible
weight on them and their aristocratic families.
The Chronicle exults that these IRen were Re-
publicans. AS far as their political complex

because they lived in strong Republican
State and went with the ma ority. They be-

lesson will have a salutary effect upon all

road lobbyists that there is power in the
land aoove corporations.

been induced to assume the character
which he had so well enacted, entirely
on speculation. While making sur
Vey of the neighborhood, few days
before he began to play his part, he
had observed the backward state of the
landlords garden; and believing that
he would readily catch at a chance Of
getting it finished of in a cheap way,
and being a geod hand at gardening,
he had hit upon the scheme which had
answered 80 we'll. He had believed
that the robbers were not far from the
locality of the public-house, and might
come there now and again, and so,
could he lodge there without being
known or suspected, he might come at
all that he desired. And as he had
hoped, so did it come to pass.
The naturalist, who, it came out, had
long been a receiver of stolen property,
and his son, whose first burglaries
these were, got each five years penal
serVitude; one of the other men--Who
came from a distant town, and were
old hands--was likewise convicted and
punished; but the fourth, for some for
gotten reason, got off. My friend came
in for the good reward offered in this
case; and for the part which l had
taken in the affair the jeWeler gave me
q gold pencil-holder, which l treasure
as a mementO.

THE TRYST.

Impelled by memory in q wayward mood,
Reluctant, yearning, with ta1thlesB mind,
sought once more long neglected spot,

Or floating noiseess in the yellow marsh.

And, rolling seaward, hid the anchored ships.
So, happy, dreaming an old dream again,
OF keeping tTy8t IN secret on the EROU, d..

To sounds thought familiar, the approach
OF well-known footsteps in the leafy path
murmuring voice calling me by name! ..
Through the pine shafts the sunless light of dawn
Stole, Day was come. My dream would be full
Above the hills the sky began to blaze,
And ushering morn the west flushed rosy-red;
Then, the Sun leaping from his bed of gold,
Scattered cloud-banners, crimson, gray, and
white.
There was my shadow in the leafy path
Alone, none was to keep the tryst with me!
No voice, no step among the hills heard.
The joyous swallows from their nestlings flew,
Mad in the light with song. Far out at sea
The white sails huttered in the eager breeze,
But Day was silent holding tryst with me-
My pilgrimage rewarded-faith restored.

"When the pig wallows in mire, -
says DIR. Ballard, g he merely follows
an instinct implanted in him, in COM
mon with some other pachydermatous
creatures, the object of which is cuta-
neOus cleansing. The mud stands to
him in relation of soap to a human
being, but instead of washing it of
with water, he allows it to cake and
dry upon the skin, and then rubs it all
of, mud and cutaneous debris together,
upon some sufficiently rough surface.
Loose hair and cutaneous scurf irritates
him, and he takes his own way of
cleansing his skin of them. Cleanse
his skin for him, and he will rest in
contentment, without offending the
eyes of his supercilious betters, often
less scrupulous in this matter than he
is, by his wallowings, scratchings and
scrubbings. 1t has long been known
that pig thus cleansed with soap and
water, not only becomes less objection
able, but grows fat more speedily than
if left to cleanse himself in his own
way. Similarly as regards his food.
Garbage is not the food that the pig Sc
lects by preference. In fact, pig
which has been fed for any time upon
sweet food will turn away from sour
and disgusting food. If left to pick up
his own living where he can find it, he
will eat anything he can find eatable,
bat even then will eat acorns, fallen
fruit or roots in preference to garbage;
and human beings in similar straits
will act precisely in the same way"
1t may be economical, and perhaps
even desirable, to convert into pork
matters which can in no other way, or
in no way more convenient, be made
subservient to the sustenance of man.
kind, and the pig is possibly properly
utilized in this manner. Our only de-
sire is to vindicate his character as a
cleanly feeder, if only he has the
chance Of cleanly feeding vouchsafed

A Monster Ship.

A new steamship, which when com
pleted will be the largest and finest
merchant vessel in the world, is now
being built at Barrow, England, for the
Inman line. She will be ready for use
in the spring of 1881, and will then be,
gin making regular trips between this
port and Liverpool. The City of Rome
was regarded as the most appropriate
name which could be given to this ad-
dition to the Inman fleet. Her dimen-
sions are to be as follows: Length OF
keel, SAG feet; length over all, $50 feeti
breadth Of beam, 50 feet; depth of hold,
38 feet 8 inches, and depth from
top of deck-houses to keel, 81 feet.
Her measurement will be $500 tons, or
over 1000 tons larger than either the
City of Berlin or the Arizona, and 800
tons larger than the Seryia, the new
Cunard steamship which will be COM
pleted this fall. She will be over four
fifths of the size of the Great Eastern
The engines of the City Of Rome will be
of 8,500-horse power, with six cylin-
ders, three of which are high pressure
and three are low pressure. There will
be eight boilers, heated by 48 furnaces,
and the vessel can be propelled at the
rate of 49, knots an hour, She will
carry four large masts and three smoke
tunnels. A large spread Of canvas can
be set, which will enable the steamship
to make good time, if necessary with
out the aid of the engines. The saloon
and state-rooms will be placed amid
ships, and will contain every facili-
ty for comfort and luxury. All the
latest improvements are to be added,
and the entire cabin will be splendidly
furnished and upholstered. There will
be 275 revolving chairs at the saloon Ia
bles, and the ante.rOoms will easily ac-
commodate 300 frst-class passengers.
A drawing-room, which can be occu-
pied by 100 ladies at once, will be placed
on the deck Immediately over the sa-
loon. The smoking-room will be above
the drawing room, and will accommO-
date 100 smokers at once. The saloon
will contain six bathrooms. There
will be room on board for almost any
number of steerage passengers, and
space for an enormous quantity of
freight in the hold. The City of Rome
is to be built of steel. with a double
bottom, and II bulkheads. Two longi-
tudinal bulkheads are to be run through
the engines and boilers space. These
will greatly decrease the danger of the
vessel sinking in case of a collision.
The top decks are to be of the best teak.
No expense is to be spared in making
this magnificent steamship perfect in
every respect. She will have the high
est classification of any vessel in the
Liverpool Red-book and in the British
Lloyds. The Inman people expect that,
so far as the transportation Of passen-
gers and freight goes, the City of Rome
will prove the monarch of the seas.
Work was begun on the new vessel as
soon as the contract with the Barrow
Building Company had been
closed. N y Times. e..

August Is one of the poorest months IN the year for
