that the wheat crop will be "a, 900, 900 BUSH

There is also a material gain in France.
The Russian harvest is said to be the best

A pri.on sehool ln Pari..

In the large and gloomy prison called Mazas. in Paris, there is 8 school for the instruction of youthful offenders against she law. Most oi them are very igno- rant when they enter the prison, but they are taught reading, writing and arithmetic during their term of confine- nent, and most of them leave their cells not only improved in morals, but fitted to earn their living in honest employ mcnt.
 The pr1son is 8 gloomy place for a school: but is better than the dreadful places from which it's youthful inmates are taken. where they had begun to learn the ways and habits of older crim- inals. IL IS 3 wise thing 10 give them useful instruction as well as punishment, 90 tkat when they are set free they may not sink back into evIl ways, and go on from bad to worse in a downward course.
 No class in this prison school contains more than eight pupils at time, and lhe school Ioogn is very different from the pieasans, cheerful rooms where rhe pupils Of our free schools are taught. Il is Q yaulted court, lirhted with gas, and the doors of the cells opeR into II. At each door is a plain wooden table.and the pupils sit in such a position taat they can not see each other, while all are under the eve of the teacher.
 The teacher, as may be seen in the picture, walks slowly back and forth in front nf the open doors, listening to the recitation or The lessons. All tke pu- pils respond at once, either reading from their states or answering questions oral iy.

TWO MILLIONS LOST.
Paid Into the Pnstofacs for Money Orders
 Never Cached.
New Ynrk snn.

NEW lNE& sun.
 The postal money order system was established seventeen years ago by an act of congress and its devisers claimed that tt was the cheapest, safest and speediest method of transmitting money ever invented. However, the weak point in the system IS illustrated by the large amount of money deposited in the postofiees all over the union and through one blunder or another never paid to the persons who ought to have received ii. The postoffice in this city is the general headquarters of the system, and there is now unclaimed at the disposal of this office Sl ,s25. .497.4 .49, which is the result of seventeen years accumulation. All of the money unclaimed in the postoffices all through the country is sent to the New York postoflice. The country post masters are required to account weekly to Postmaster Pearson. When their de- posits exceed the needs for the business. as they usually do exceed it, inasmuch as more money comes to the city than goes away from it by this system, then the country postmaster sends his surplus in draft to New York.
 As early as 1872" said Assistant Su- perintendent Joseph Elliott, jr., in the postoffice building, 'this accumulation began 10 be large. It was half million of dollars then, and by the direction of the superintendent Of the system an &C., count was opened on our books with the assistant United States Treasurer in the sub-treasury building, under the head ing, Postmaster Generals Money Order Account Every week since then the excess over S65001. which We keep to transact business with, has been deposit ed in the sub treasury. This accumula- ton of nearly two million dollars is largely due to the miscarriage ofsenders' orders. or to their loss by the sender, or by the payee. Many of the last or mis- carried orders might have been paid if the payee or the remmitter had applied to his postmaster for a duplicate order. Perhaps 1t has been through ignorance, perhaps through earelessness, that this has not been done, but usually the remit ter seems to suppose that the payee has received his money, and, on the other hand, the payee thinks 1t has not been sent. The surplus fund IS increasing all the while, and of course we do not know to whom the money belongs. Postmaster Pearson few days ago conbdea his per plexity to Postmaster-Ceneral James. and asked him lift would not be advisa- ble 10 transfer the money to the treasury and use il in the service of the postotfice department
