Penny Dinners.

The English are introducing an ad-
mirable system of penny dinners for
school children. There is especial need
in London for some such provision, for
10 to 20 per cent of them board school
children whose parents can not or will
not themselves feed them regularly.
Payment is, on the whole, punctual ;
and the scale on which the system Is
worked allows of a surplus sufficient to
pay for cooking expenses after the first
outlay on the purchase of apparatus, a
very moderate sum, has been met. 1t Is
found that there need DO no stint in or
der that every child may enjoy din
ncr and have enough. In very necessi-
tous and selected cases, where even
the penny can not as a rule be paid, a
free meal is provided. .-BoSton Tran

Religion at Washington in 1864.

One of the sights of Washington in
1864 was the Sunday afternoon service
at the contraband village, near the
northern boundary of the city. The
so-called village was very struggling
affair, composed of shanties, huts, and
tents, with a large hospital tent belong
ing to the government. Here were a
large number Of colorcd people of
every shade-the octoroon, the quad
room, the mulatto, and the Congo Afri-
can" from snowy white to sooty.n
The men were shabbily dressed, many
of them in cast.off army clothing, but
the women were invariably neatly and
some of them elegantly attired. Under
an arbor was the pulpit, made from un-
planed boards, and generally occupied
by five or six colored preachers.
Their prayers were in sing-song tone,
with fervent responses from the con-
gregation, and the hymns sung to we'll
known plantation airs were generally
improvised for the occasion, while the
sermons were volleys of words, the
meaning of many of which the speak
ers were ignorant of, while the Ian
guage would have been considered
blasphemous had had not the sincerity
of the exhorters been known.-Ben
Perley PO0re.

French MOnOnOlipS.

As an example of how monopolies
are controlled in France, it is interest
ing to note the terms of tho contract
about to be made between the French
government and the Compagnie Cen
erale, which has the monopoly of
making matches for the next twenty
years. The company will pay for the
privilege 100000 francs, about S.
500, 1000, and about 40 per cent of the
gross receipts in addition, in case the
sale of matches exceeds thirty-iive
milliards. The nature and quality of
the matches are carefully prescribed,
and the prices at which they are to be
sold fixed. The government reserves
the right to control all the operations
of the company, and the latter agrees
to employ only French workingmen
and agents, and not to have any inter-
est, directly or indirectly, in any sim.
liar enterprise in any foreign country

Curious Facts About Sewing Machines.

The patents on sewing machines ex-
pired some years since; that is, in
1876. A number of new companies
were ready to enter the field when the
patent rights were no longer enforced,
and they did so; but they nearly all
became bankrupt. Women that were
used to the Singers, Wheeler and Will
sons, Grover and Bakers, and other
popular machines, would nave nothing
to do with cheaper and better instru-
mcnts with which they were not IA
miliar. Since the patents expired in
1876 nine of the new companies have
become bankrupt, and while forty new
ones exist in name, the business is
really monopolized by the old compa-
nies. According to the last census
there are LOG sewing machine estab-
lishments in the United States with an
invested capital of Sl2,9O0,000. They
employ 9,2S3 persons, and annually
pay wages amounting to nearly S5,-
100000. The sales of sewing machines
amount to $14,OO0,OO0 annually

TIE following new anecdote of Hor-
ace Greeley was recently related by a
present member of the editorial staff
of The Nc,O York Tribune: There was
but one person on the paper who
could and would read his copy, and
she often found it easier to rewritc
than to do otherwise. When she came
to n word whose meaning she could
not guess when taken in connection
with the remainder of the article, she
would leave the word blank. Then
Mr.. Greeley, when he revised the
proof, would fill in the place left va
cant. Once the woman came to n
word which she treated in the manner
mentioned. Mr.. Greedy filled it in, if
possible, more obscurcly than at first.
Again the revised proof was submitted
to him, and again the writing grew
binder. The next time he wrote on
the margin of his proof: "The word
is. The error is most grevious to
me-" BY long and close scrutiny the
first syllable was found to be "ae."
Then by taking up Worcester and
looking up the "ac's" it was surmiscd
to be aeriiication. This was written in
his proof. Mr., Greeley t1rotc in re-
sponse, go. X. Gratefully. II. G."
