COST OF RUNNING THE OHIO
PENlTENTlAkY.

From the annual report of the War
den of the Ohio Penitentiary, we learn
that there were 1,37S cOnvicts i'll the
Ohio Penitentiary in 1876, and ,592
convicts in lS77-total for the two years
2,97O, and that current expenditures,
including the salaries of the officers,
were, in 1876, $lS9, 724.96, and in 1877
they were $I93, ,354. .2l-tOtal for the
two years, $685., ,079.17. These were
two Years when the Republicans had
Leg islature, Executive and the absO-
lutte control of the Penitentiary.
We learn, furthermore, that in 1878,
the number of convicts in the Peni-
tentiary was ,6Sl and that in 1879 the
number was 1,571-total for the two
years was $3.50, and that the current
expenses, including the salaries of Offi-
GERS for 1878 were S201 1881 and for
1879 they were SIG, 77.36-tOtal for
the two years, ST., 1920. These two
wears the Democratic party had the
Legislature, Executive and control in
the Ohio
1t will thus be seen that for the years
1876 and 1877, when the Republican
party had control, it cost Ohio SIS, ,5S7. 81
MORE to run the Penitentiary than ii
cost Ohio to rup that institution for the
wears 1878 and 1879, when the Demo
cratic party had control, although the
Democratic administration had to pro-
vide for 2S4 MORE convicts than the
Republican administration had to pro-
vide for.
Perhaps the taxpayers will after
awhile learn that the public institu'
tiOns of the State are run more cheap
ly, and fully as efficiently, under Dem
ocratic administration than under Re-
! publican administration.-[Wayne Co

WHIST OR CHESS.

In choosing between these two re-
creations for the winter evenings we
should give our vote in favor of whist.
1t is not such hard work. You have
the luxury Of scolding your partner
for bad play. You can charge the
clrds with your i'll luck. In chess
there is no soft cushion for the defeat
ed player 10 rest upon and forget his
sorrows. In this game the pleasure
of triumph is not so acnte as the pangs
of disaster. There is mental strain
in it which is not adequately rewarded.
When you have inflicted a checkmate,
what OF it2 1t is mighty poor fruit
for great deal of thought. The nerv-
GUS exhaustion of chess is one of its
worst incidents. The force which is
expended in this direction would car
ry one through course of delightful
reading without any sense of fatigue,
A game which has been fairly won by
the most patient and laborious COM
binations is often lost by q single care
less move induced by sheer WEAKNESS.
We have no desire to reflect upon the
wonderful beauty Of the problems
which this game offers. They are sim
gularly fascinating, and many of the
situations in chess delight the INTEL
lect with q thrill such as certain poems
inspire. But after all is conceded there
is more work and less play in chess
than in any other game which the wit
of man has devised. 1t should not be
classified with the amusements.' 1t
is an exercise and q severe one.-[C Gin.

RICH MEN IN NEW YORK.

1t is said, and doubtless truly, that
in 1880, little more than fifty years
ago, only one citizen of New York,
John Jacob Astor, was worth more
than $l,O0O.OO0. Nothing can better
illustrate the growth of wealth here
than this fact, which now seems sur
prising enough. Millionaires are very
plenty in these days, so very plenty
that they are hardly taken into account.
Every few days somebody dies leay-
ing an estate valued at over 81, ,OOO, 900
and yet the mass of our old inhabit-
ants may not even have heard his
name. 1t has been asserted that there
are at present in the metropolis fully
500 men whose property is estimated
at $l,OOO,OOO and upward. Half CEN
tury has made wonderful changes here
in other thing than private fortunes.
Then the city had little more than 200,
600 people; now including adjacent
towns and the population properly
ours within a radius of fifty miles OF
Union square, it includes not far from
100000. Then Chambers street was
far up town, the City Hall Park was
the principal park, we had no hotels.
newspapers. libraries, theaters worthy
of the name, we had no ocean crossing
steamers, no modern improvements,
few foreign fashions, no regularly re-
curing defalcations, little official or
legislative corruption, no stupendous
municipal debt, no reckless ambitions,
no booming" Wall street, not many
luxuries, but an amazing amount OF
public and private honesty. What
revolutions fifty years have produced
When We look back through the light
of history, it seems as if 1880 must
have been all of five centuries ago.

I'M INTENSITY OF THE STARS.

1t is known tLat the stars are true
suns, that some of them are largel
than our own sun, and that around
these enormous centers of heat ant
light reyolve planets on which life
certainly exists. Our sun is distant
from us 100000 leagues. but these
stars are distant at least 100000 times
as far-a distance that, in fact, ia in
Commensurate and uDimaginable fol
US. Viewed with the unaided eye, The
stars and the planets look alike; thai
is, appear to have the same diameter
But, viewed through the telescope
while the planets are seen to possess
clearly arpreciable diameters, the stars
are still only mere luminous points.
The most powerful of existing tele
scopes. that of Melbourne, which mag
mites 5000 times, gives us an image OF
one of our planets possessing an ap'
parent diameter OF several degrees
Jupiter, for instance, which, seen with
the naked eye, appears as star of the
first magnitude, with diameter Of
forty five degrees at the most, will in
the telescope have its diameter multi
piled 5000 times, and will be seen as
if it occupied in the heavens an angle
of 100 degrees. Meanwhile, star
alongside of Jupiter, and which to the
eye is as bright as that planet, will still
be simple dimensionless point. New
erless, that star is thousands of times
more voluminous than the planets Di-
vide the distance between us and that
planet by 5000, and you have for re,
suit distance relatively very small j;
but divide by 5000 the enormous num-
Der of leagues which represent the
distance of star, and there remain a
number Of leagues too great TO per-
nit the stars being seen by US in a
perceptible form. In considering Ju-
piter, or any of the planets, we are
filled with wonder at the thought that
this little luminous point might hide
not only all the visible stare, but a
number 5000 fold greater-for of stars
visible to our eyes there are only
about 5000. All the stars of these
many consultations, as the Great Bear
Cassiopeia, Orion, Andromeda, all the
stars of the zodiac, even all the stars
which are visible only from the earth s
southern hemisphere, might be set in
one plane, side by side, with no one
overlapping the other, even without
the slightest contact between star and
star, and yet they would occupy so
small space that, were it to be multi
piled 5000 fold, that space would be
entirely covered by the disk of Jupiter
albeit that disk to US seems to be an
inappreciable point.-LProf. J. Vino +,

TEACHINGS OF TIME.

Time to me this truth hath taught,
'Tis truth that's worth revealing;
More offend from want of thought
Than from any want OF feeling.
If advice we would convey,
There's q time we should convey it;
If we've but a word to say,
There's q time in which to say it,
Many a beauteous flower decays:
Though we tend 1t e'er SO much.
Something secret on It plays.
Which no human aid can touch.
So, in many loving breast.
Lies some canker grief concealed.
That, if touched, is more opp essed;
Left unto itself-is healedi
Oft, unknowingly, the tongue
Touches on a chord so aching
That a word. or accent wrong,
Pains the heart almost to breaking.
Time to me this truth hath taught:
IT'S truth that's worth revealing;
More offend from want OF thought
Than from any want of feeling.

Cheaper Accommodation. Wanted.

question to expect cheap labor so long
as the rates Of living remain at high
figures. The mechanic who receives
ten or twelve dollars a-week, which Is
fair average in wages, can accumulate
but little when $5 90 has to be paid
out at the expiration of each week for
board and lodgings. The hotels can Of

ing man desiring only solid comfort
and good substantial diet could be ac-
commodated ut rates in keeping with
the prices paid for his labor. In the
matter of provisions our markets are
reasonable in their prices, with the
exception of fresh meats which rate al
most at war prices and without any
apparent sound reason. and buildings
may be had, or can be built, which
could be rented ut one-third the figures
paid for hotels. AS to servants, good
ones can be procured, if not here, then
elsewhere and of superior character,
making the number and waste less and
increasing the comfort. We have an
Illustration of what can be done, in the
fitting-up and opening on their own &C.
count, on DeSiard street, of. a board
ing and lodging house by the employees
ON the railroad bridge. They found
vacant, unfinished upstairs, went to
work and put it in living condition,
and are now, some of them with f,mi-
lies, making themselves at home and
able to lay by a fair share of their
weekly earnings. This being true, why
should not a well-managed cheap board
ing-house prove living, at least, to
the keeper? The lack of such an in
stitution, which it certainly is, may be
justly classed as one of the serious
drawbacks to improvements and pro-
gress in our little city, a fact known
to every one whose business calls for
mechanical help.
