Cruelty 70 children.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 20, 1883.
In their crusade against mill owners,
who, contrary to law, employ children
ut the looms under age and work them
Over-hOurs, the Society for the Proven
ton Of Cruelty to Children has made
some peculiar discoveries. The agents of
the Society who to, day visited the Tracy
Mills at Darby, to serve notice on the
owners that the law would be enforced,
found that the stories OF infantile hard
ships told by Mary Mckinley, thirteen
years old, were true. This child
labOred TO support her drunken parents.
She went to work at six O'Clock every
night and toiled at the looms until six
the next morning. She said, and the
agents claim that they heard others
confirm her, that during the night
the arms of the little toilers became 80
tired, and their eyes SO heavy, that
often their heads bobbed," and their
hands dropped the spools which they
were putting upon the machinery.
There was Il Waterman in the factory,
"a part of whose business was to 20
about among tho looms and give the
drowsy children II vigorous shake or a
prod with Il stick to keep them from
dropping asleep as they stood. One
man had his wife and several children
at work in the mill. One OF them was
il little boy, who did not look TO be more
than nine years Old, who went up and
down on the elevator 1T nights with

The New Steel Cruisers.

WAsHINGToN, March %, 1Ss3.-Tht
Naval Advisory Board, appointed pur
suant TO act of Congress, for the pur-
pose Of investigating and reporting il
in tn ir judgement it be advisable tc
close up or sell any of the existing
navy yards, will it is said report in
favor of equipping the League Island
Yard with all the plans and machinery
necessary for the construction of iron
and steel ships. Naval officers who
have given the subject careful study
believe that the action of Congress in
authorizing the construction Of the new
steel cruisers Is a forecast of the future
policy ofthis Government touching its
navy that the warships of the future
will be of steel or iron, and that this
will at all early day ap-
preciate the importance of. being
able to build its own ships. A prom-
nent official of the Navy Department
remarked o-day
" Now that the vexed question of the
is ont Of .he way, we may con
tidently expect to have IA navy. The
great mistake of this Government was
in undertaking to have its ships built
by Contracr instead of in its own yards
When wooden frigates were in vogue,
ours were in every respect the finest in
the world. We have the most skillful
and intelligent artists, and our
frigates were the admiration of all ma
ions in every part of the world. But
wooden ships are now out Of date, and
we have fallen behind in the construc-
ion of iron ones. Sooner or later, how
ever, Congress will realize the import
lnce of equipping some Of our yards for
ron and steel ship building, and | have
10 hesita ton in asserting that it will
'oon be found that We can excel o,her
lations in this character Of ships, as "
lways have done with our wooden YES
els"

Kind Words.

Kind words do not cost much. They
never blister the tongue or lips. And
we have never heard OF any mental
trouble arising from their use.
Though they do not cost much, yet
they accomplish much:
|. They help ones own good nature
and will. Soft words soften our own
soul. Angry words are fuel to the
flame of wrath, and make 1t blaze more
ii"rcely.
=. Kind words make other people
gnUl-natured. Cold words freeze peo-
pie, and hot words scorch them, md
sarcastic words .irritats them, and Bit
ter words make them wra,htul.
There is such q rush of all other
words in our days, that it seems desi-
rable to give kind words Il chance among
them. There are vain words, and sill ~
words, and llaSty words, and empty
words, and prutane words, and bolster
Gus words, aud warike words.
Kind words also produce their own
image on mems souls, and they uui ct
and comfort tho nearer. They slanlc
him out Of his sour, Dl.rDse, unkind
feelings. We have not yet begun 10
use kind words in such abund lnce as
they ought to be used

This ticket was suggested by promi.
nent Republicans as an offset to the so.
called Sprague boom, in order to throw
the election into the Legislature. Lead.
ing Republicans and Democrats agree
which will be polled by Mr.. Cutler
viz. : 800.
The Democrats, IN view Of the placing
o an opposition ticket II the field, Will
work harder than ever, and openly stale
that all Democrats who vote for it will
not be ADMITTED, to the next Convention.
Republicans claim that they will elect
Mr.. B0urn by 1000 majority, and few
90 so far as to state that his majority
will exceed 800.
The opposing faction who have can-
vassed the State, Claim Mr.. Sprague's
election by l,2OO majority, despite the
votes which will be drawn from the
ticket by Mr.. Cutler. Mr.. George r.
Downing, a wel.-known Colored orator,
will take the stump this week for Mr.
Sprague, and Mr. BurnLanl Wardwell,
n well-known prison refOrner, has also
come out strongly for Sprague.
