An Elecfrfc R0af.

A trial was made on the Thames on
Tuesday of boat propulsion by stored
electricity, a run being made from the
Temple Pier to Green wich by party of
twenty-five in one of Yarrow i launches.
The boat. forty feet long, six feet beam
and three feet draft of water aft, was
fitted by the Electric Storage Company
with eighty Seldom Volknar batteries,
having a weight Of sixty pounds each,
or in all two tons, packed beneath the
floor. The screw is eighteen inches in
diameter and thirteen inches in pitch,
making $50 revolutions per minute.
The speed attained on the voyage was
over seven and one-half knots; the
passage down the river immediately
after the turn of high water being
made in thirty-seven minutes. For
river pleasure purposes such boat has
many advantages over steamboats,, IN
which the boiler and engine occupy the
best part of The vessel. The steering,
reversing and manipulation of the boat
were very quick and effectual. The

{From the Times Democrat
 fI was loafng around the streets last night" said Jim Nelson, one of the oldest locomotive engineers running into New Or leans.

As soon as he sat down on the.stool knew by the way he han dled himself that he understood the machine he was running He tapped the keys away up one end, just as if they were gauges and he wanted to see if he had water enough. Then he looked up, as if he wanted to know how much steam he was carrying, and the next moment he pulled open the throttle and sailed out on the maln line, as if he was half an hour late.

The Massachusetts Reformatory Prison for
 Women is not simply penal institution for
 punishment, but is meant to reclaim the
 women sent there. The New York Sun gives the following interesting account of
 the institution: The discipline is peculiar to itself. The prisoner is informed on her
 entrance that upon her own behavior depends | advancement. The first four weeks she pass
 es by herself, seeing only such officers of the institution as have occasion to visit her At the end of that time she is regularly entered as first division prisoner, unless she has
 been in the prison before, in which case her probationary term is doubled. She is pro- noted when she has gained certain number of credit marks. For each week of perfect conduct in labor and study ten marks are allowed, and for each offence 8 mark is lost. As soon as she is entered in this division she is set to work in the laundry, the sewing room, the kitchen, or at brush making, these occupations being frequently changed, so that they may not grow monotonous, and she is obliged to attend school one hour each day. When the requisite number of marks is gained the prisoner is advanced to the second o1V1s1on, where another record card is given her, and she is informed that upon gaining the required number of credits she will be promoted to the third division. Her work and study continue through all the di- visions, but she has a room that is 8 trife larger, and is allowed short recreation daily, unless by some misconduct she forfeits the right. Upon reaching the third division her room is still larger, and the time for reach ing the fourth is less than that required for reaching any of the others. When she is in this final division she has room little bet ter furnished, with few ornamental trifles allowed. She eats from a table on which is a cloth, and is occasionally allowed some thing besides the usual prison fare, a cup of tea being considered the greatest luxury.
