THE PEyITENTIARY.
At the session OF 1S79-'e0 the RCadiust-
crs attempted to amend the laws so rs to
get hold OF number Of offices and places
at the penitentiary. A veto from Governor
Holiday stopped them. Having both
Governor and General Assembly now, they
will not care to amend the law. The sur
geon of the penitentiary and the Board OF
Directors IRE appointed by the Governor;
the Superintendenps subordinates are ap-
pointed by the Superintendent and ap-
proved by the Governor. For these places
there nre already host OF people looking.
The present superintendent is Samuel {.
Williams, and the General Agentand Store
keeper Winfield Scott-both Readiusters.
All The same they have constantly been at
loggorhcads, and the Board Of Directors
arc now engaged in investigating charges
preferred against Williams by Scott. These

Interviewing.
IT0a6c7'2p

Interviewing has reached its lowest depth when we find newspaper reporters dancing attendance on a cat s-meat man. Yet this Is what has happened in Amer ica, and we are compelled to confess that the reporter found the purveyor of skewered victuals far more interesting than most of the notabilities who are interviewed on the public behalf. The particular "cat-man was indeed some what of hero-one of the self-made men of whom cities are so proud when they die. It appears that when he be- gan catering for pussy he went his rounds himself, but he has now grown so prosperous that sour assistants carry his baskets for him. His cat customers do not heed the change, for they remark only the quality of the meat purveyed and not the quality of the purveyor. Left to themselves, the animals, though having the run of large warehouses, would starve, for American rats and mice will not remain in dly- goods stores, which are lean hvings, so long as they i have choice of fatter lncumbenc. .es; but, mice or no mice, the cat Is an institution, and so the "cat man" drives a thriving trade. A wicked rival tried to ruin our hero by hawking fish instead of meat, and pretending to pussy's ownels that, as fish contained much phosphorus, and phosphorus m de brains, no one could expect 10 have really smart cat that was not fed upon fish. But the "cat- man promptly checkmated his rival by distributing a handblll to the effect that fish made cats maugS, whereas meat gave them sleek and glossy coats. As proved in the sequel, the New Yorker prefer fat cats to smart ones, and the fish fellow d no chance az inst his an- tagonist. st.-LOitdoA TetegTuph.

Sheep that Dive from Cliffs.

John Muir, tic naturalist of the Sier- ra, writing of the wlld sheep of the Sler- ra and of theIr Well authenticated hablt of diving from preclpices and allgllting on their j. ,Tns, relates the following ali ecdote:
 "At the base of Sbeep rock, one of the winter strongholds of the Shasta Hocks, there lives stCckraiser who has the advantage of observing the move ments ot wild sheep every winter, and, in the course of coAveraarlon wlCh him on the subject of ths 1T diving habits, he pointed to the front of lava headanu about l50 feet hign, which is only s or 10 degrees out ot the perpendicular. There, said he, l followed band ot them fellows to the back of that rock yonder, and expected to capture them all, for thought had dead thing on them I got behind them on a narrow bench that runs along the lace oI the wall near the top, and comes to an eLd where they couldn't get away without falling and being killed but they jumped off, and landed ali rigut, as if that were the regular thing with them.
 "'What sad 1, jumped 150 feet Did you see them do 1t
 "s No, he replied, : I didn't see them going down, for I was behind them Du I saw them go off over the br,nk, ahd then l went below and found thelr tracks where they s,luck on the loos debris at the bottom. They sailed right off, and landed on their feet right slue up. That's the kind of animal they Is beat, anything else that goes on toar legs. !"

Suicide.

Suicide Is O crime under the laws of nearly all civilized countries. This legislation, however, is relatively mod ern. It used to he considered the cor rect thing for q man to kill himself if he so desired. The impression that it ia wicked did not prevail among the an- cients. And, in fact, the Bible says nothing about suicide. The Old Testa- ment and the New Testament alike are dumb, and nothing is found concerning in the Oriental theolooies or in the peeAn codes. The old philosophers re- dnccd the matter to a question of op- rorthnism. Cicero thought that "the true wise man ought to pass with pleas urn ffom these shades to celestial bright Nessr whenever he felt like it {; and Sen ca eaid "If 1 suffer from disease, should not kill myself to escape from pain, for that would be an act of coward. ice, but if perceive that my disease is incurable, l should end my life, because the disease would deprive me of all which can render life worth having. II is cowhrdly to die to escape suffering. 1t IS stupid to live in order to suffer.

The Formation of Coal.

In the swamps and bavous of the moist regions of the South pure vegetable mat ter, having the appearance and proper ties of peat, may often be found in the very act of accumulation. It frequently occurs in immense beds, and 1t requires no trained observation to see that, in ad- dition to the remains of the ordinary low marsh plants, 1t is made up of the ruins and refuse of swamp-loving forest trees. Now, all about the Hanks and spurs of the Rocky mountains, with greater or less intervals, from New Mexico to far beyond the northern limits of the United States, there are found beds of coal of peculiar quality. This coal is covered up with hardened mud containing shells and bones ot aquatic animals, and everything about it suggests that the coal-mahung material was somehow sunk beneath the waters of an old lake, and was buried un. der the gradually-increasing bed of mud with which the old laxe-basin was finally filed. But the point of interest is this . that in many places the Rocky mountain coal has reacheda stage of decompOsiti- n not so very nuch in advance of the hu- mus and peat of onr modern swamps and bayous. We might, indeed, hesitate about calling some portions of 1t coal ai ell--for the original structure is almos' perfectly preserved-yet 1t must be ad- mitted that for the most part the decom- position has advanced far enough to pro- 'luce an article tha+ deservedly ranks as coal. In the light of what may be ob- served going on in every favorably sitp ated swamp to-day, the source of tn material aud the method of accumulation of the Rocky mountan coal can bardlN be doubtful. 1 need mt weary you b. leading you step by step through all th

Cur Size.


 The New York Herald publishes au interesting outline map of the United States on which the areas of the differ ent European states are laid out, sug- gesting at once to the eye the relative size of this country aud the countries of the Old World lying west of Russia aud turkey. Epgland is as large as New Brunswick, Scotland as Nova Scotia, New foundland us Ireland. France stretches from the northern boundary of Maine to the western boundary of Ohio, and to the southern boundary of Pennsylvania. Germany could be got into the space lying between the southern boundary of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the At lantic, the Ohio river, tie Mississippi river, and the northern boundary oi Georgia and South Carolina. Spain is equal ill area to South Carolina, Geor- gia, Alabama and Louisiana Italy re- sembles Florida. both m size and shape. Austria would embrace Lake Michigan and the four States between the lakes
 nd the Mississippi river = Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana. So that he area of the United States east of the Mississippi, or about three-eighths of the total area, is equal to the states of Flu rope, excluding Russia and Turkey.

Wes.ern Lie.

With only a team and a few dollars the emlgtaut determines to make him self home in the wilds of the West. Ills first care IS to build sod-house. as ne must have shelter. That done, bout the middle of May he commences lreaking prairie, and, If he has good norse-team, succeeds in getting from .orty to sixty acres broken by the mid lie of June. A few acres of the first lceaking are usually planted with corn, lrOpped into a cut made through the "d with an ax, which incision Is closed .2on by the foot of the planter. This @snnot be cultivated, and is wholly at ie mercy of the season. Half the time IS failure, but of favorable season ylelds twenty or thirty bushels to the acre. Melons, pumpkins and squashes ually do well Cn sod, and turnips sown -a mid, ummer seldom fail. In the fal, tt back-sets his ground with his ttakng blow, taking an nch or so of sround rom below the spring breaking. ine ground should not be plowei deeper slan it Is thoroughly rotted. The ground Is now ready for tue crop, and his wheat is sown the lasG of February, or in March. He has plenty of work to do, and hard work ut that. No chance to make money 6. capes him. The first ear or two is almost invariably one oi ardships and privations for the average omesteader. The weak or shiitless nes usually give way in despair and '.rn eastward.

A Strange Accumulation,

Thomas Dick puts the hoarding of wealth ln this striking way:
 Suppose a man could lay up stock of clothes and provisions sufficient to last am for 300 years, what would it avail nm, since he can live at most but from seventy to 100 years? Suppose he laid up in store-house 10000 paIIs of sht eS, to what end would it serve, If he cou.d make Use, during his whole life, of only the one-hundredth part of them? He would be II the same condition as man who had 100 dishes placed before him at dinner, but who could partake of only one or of person who had 100 mansions purchased for his residence, but could occupy only one. How ridicu- lous 1t would appear If all that could be said of man while yet he lived was simply this-that his whole life had been spent in collecting and laying up in a storehouse 60,0J0 mahogany chairs which were never intended to be used for the furniture Of apartments, or TO- GOO palrs of trousers which were never to be worn And where is the difference, in point of nationality and utility, be- tween such absurd practices and hoard ing thousands of gulueas and bank notes which are never brought forth for the oeneht of mankind There IS no conduct connected with the pursuits of human ,eings th.t appears more absurd than 'lch practices (however common) if ex- -mined by the dictat of reason.
