The Wards of the state.

There are eighty-siX convicts in the
State Prison at Windsor, six of whom
are in prison for life. The differs
are the following: John Burns, oil
Burlington. convicted of murder in
October, 1868, sentenced to be hung
and committed; James j. Snow, OF
St. Johnsbury, convicted of murder
in the second degree; Horace II.
Plumley, of Rutland county, convict
ed of murder in April, 1867, SEN
fenced TO be hung, and committed &;
S. S. Woolley, of Newfane, convict
ed of murder in the second degree in
April, 1877; Sheldon Pond, acquitted
for murder and sentenced for life as
insane, an inmate of the insane asy-
lum tor seven years a; Lewis AlmOn
Meaker, of Waterbury, convicted of
murder December IA, 1880, sentenced
to be hung and committed. The
personnel of the workshop embrac-
es many noted criminals and despe-
radOes besides those named, among
whom the Barre bank robber, George
Miles, is prominent. He is to be seen
busily engaged at pegging machine,
wears spectacles and a contented
countenance, takes life philosophical
ly and bides his time. He was SEN
fenced March 81, 1875, for fourteen
years, so his confinement is more than
half over. Then there is John Ham
mond, otherwise known as ''Califor-
MA Jack, who was convicted at
Woodstock Of burglary, sentenced
for ten years, served one year and
was given new trial. At the new
trial another charge was brought
against him and he is now serving a
term Of nineteen years-nine years
for new trial. Anthony Eubar, of
Woodstock, has been there five diff
terent times, and is now serving cut
a term Of ten years for horse stealing.

victed of manslaughter, for killing his
brother William, is serving a ten
years term, which will expire October
9, 1884. Josiah Seavcr. of Wash
ington county. is serving a term of
twenty years for arson-the longest
term of all except the differs"
The labor of all the convicts is con-
tracted for by Messrs. W. d. Brack-
EFT 4 Co., Of Stoneham, Mass, for
the five years commencing August 8,
1881, at 80 cents per day for each
man, the State furnishing heat and
power, by the use of two sectional
boilers of forty horse power each and
an engine of thirty horse power. The
work of making shoes is done almost
entirely by machinery, and is both a
novel and interesting sight. Each OF
the convicts are required to work al
some part of the business, either peg.
ging soleing, heeling, or putting il
the pegs and nails preparatory to put.
ting them in the machine. The up
pers of the shoes are made outside OF
the prison, and the shoes are then
finished by the convicts. From Is tc

Penny postage has worked wonders
in England. In 1889, the year when
it was adopted, 10000, 900 letters
passed through the Post Office. The
next year the number bounded up to
nearly lG9, 100000. and has ever
since increased rapidly. Last year
the number of letters delivered in the
United Kingdom was no less than
| ,28O, G36, POO. In addition to the
letters there were 144, O16, POO post
cards, 40, 682,G 500 newspapers and
288, 2OG, 400 book packets and circu-
lars. The average number of letters
per head of the population in the
United Kingdom IS &c, and in the
United States p. The highest ay-
erages on the Continent are France
and Germany, ID and Is respectively,
In England and Wales together the
average reaches as high as 40; in
Scotland 80, and in Ireland 16.

The Commissioner of Pensions as
serts that the published stories claim
ing that the special agents of the pen
sion office expend four times as much
money as they save, are utterly false.
On the contrary, it is asserted that
the forthcoming report of the Com
missioner will show that this branch is
one of the most valuable and efficient
of the whole service. The men en-
ployed are selected for their efficiency
and the results have been highly graf
flying. The only information that
the office has as to the progress of
the work of publication of the lists of
pensioners comes from the claim
agents, who take deep interest in the
matter. The publication will cost
500, 200. 1t is expected to increase
the clerical work of the bureau many
fold, as the claim agents will have a
valuable record from which TO select
claimants for increase of pension,
and they will not neglect their OppOr-
tunity. The result will be thousands
of additional applications. AS a mat
ter of justice in aifTording those who
are entitled to an increase, the publ
cation may not be without result.

BREVITY IN Sc ADS,"

The New York San says The ad-
vertising columns of widely circulated
newspaper are printed in language
peculiar to themselves. It embraces the
technical phrases of every calling known
to man, and is more condensed even
than communications by telegraph for
while in telegram words are econo-
mized, in an advertisement even the
space the words occupy, after they have
been pruned to the finest point, is
closely limited. In the 'Help Wanted"
columns, for instance, an advertiser
seeking skilled operators on Wheeler &
Wilson's sewing machines advertised for
experienced W. & W. operators" The
same sense of saving prompted the man
who wrote Wanted-Boy to kick
Gordon and make himself useful. :"
Gordon means a Gordon job-printing
pr ss, and kicking being the technical
term for working the treadle of the press
with the feet Of the operator. The no.
Zee Ill the same column Of CA Peerless
feeder wanted" indicates the sort of
press that is to be fed with blank sheets
Of paper, and not any desire on the
advertisers part to get a person Of IN
precodented appetite. In spite of the
saving, the sense is quite clear, as in the
demands for " experienced female hands
on clocks" burial robe hands, " "bead
hands on laces," "paper boxes-glue
hands," "scarf hands," and "shoe
salesman, apply" etc. Less apparent
is the meaning of the call for "boy in
salt store to FL small pockets" or the
demand for "two buffers" hands on
picquets," "yardman at hotel" "a
rubber-in," "man to rough tune and
chip up" and ga castor place servitor, u
or ga young girl improver." The ad.
vertisement for a girl "to sew and paste
white hairs in furs is, on the Other
hand, too plain, and seems to betray 6
trade secret. Gallantry is marked
characteristic in the columns of "HelI
wanted-females," where the old
fashioned word woman is dropped ani
lady substituted in offers for foreladies
salesladies, lady canvassers and lady
cashiers. GA boy as dishwasher" il
asked for in one advertisement, and il
another, calling for horseshoer, tn,
caution is added: "No society man neet

BILL NYE,S SALE.

We are now offering at greatly re-
duced prices large and dazzling con-
gress of fine pictorial mining stock. The
offer will hold good for the next thirty
days or until the goods are disposed of.
Our experience in mining has been pc
culiar in many respects. A mine that
showed up well and was to all appear
ance booming, generally met with some
great misfortune when we secured stock
in it. We would get small interest In
the claim and the next morning it would
be full of water or pinched out.
We have decided, therefore, to sacri-
fee the beautiful and expensive itho-
graphs to buyers at their own price dur
ing the time named. Assessable or
non -assessable goo6s will be included in
the sale, and will be disposed of with
out limit or reservation. Big bargains
in watered stock, great possibilities in
embryo bonanzas. Juvenile Golcondas
at reduced rates. Jumbo leads at an
elevation of $4,000 feet above high

SCHOOL-LIFE At ETON.

Fifty or sixty years ago English
schoolmasters ruled with a rod. They
appealed to boys fear of punishment,
and to nothing else. Yet famous En-
glish men speak in high terms of their
school-days. They even praise the
masters fogging, and have an APPROX
ing word for the tagging which made
every small boy the slave Of SOME
senior.
An American reading an article
in Temple Bar on life at Eton, dur
ing the school-days Of Mr.. Gladstone,
asks in astonishment, How could any
boy retain his self-respect, or be l.
fuenced by a sense Of justice, after
graduating from such & school?
Dr.. Keate, the Principal, was a mer-
ciless despot. G. A. Selwyn, afterward
the missionary Bishop, was told TO
bring his Greek grammar.
Go and fetch it, " said DE-. Keate; Il
you're not back in ten minutes, I'll fog
you"
The boy ran hard, but in lis con
fusion brought back his brothers gram
mar.
"Iknew it," said the tyrant. "You've
burnt your own, sir! Don't deny it;
see guilt in your eye"
Selwyn protested, and said he must
have mislaid his own.
"Then I'll fog you for that, was the
cruel response. GA boy who mislay'
his books is an idler" And the future
Bishop received a severe fogging.
About the same time a small boy wa
riding as fag with a Senior to Marsh
inn to cockpit fight. The horse tool
fright, and the Senior, paralyzed will
terror, ordered the fag to jump on th
horses back and stop him by saving a
his bit.
The dangerous feat was accomp
lished, but the little fellows arms wer
almost pulled from their sockets, an,
one of them was dislocated.
Mr.. Gladstone tried to help the poo
sufferer, and bathed his shoulder wit
vinegar till it was found that the lin
needed the services Of a surgeon.
No such teacher as DR.. Keate woul
be tolerated in an American school, II
matter what his scholarship might be-
