and taken her hand, and their faces
were very near together.

young fellow.
But CisSy would not answer, and now
that Jack had come back to her, she
began to wish him miles away again.
"l've brought you the loveliest of

''Oh, come, like that You were

pause, 81 want-don't take your hand

Clssy's reply was smothered on his
shoulder; but Mr.. Dane must have
heard it, for he seemed satisfied.
When the Fraulein and her youthful
charges trooped noisily back into the
room, Jack got up In the most natural
aid, what Algy would have called,

But before he could proceed Cissy
ran away and hid herself, with her
mother and sisters in hot pursuit, so
that Mr.. Clavering and Jack had it all

Bunnor in the Family.

Good humor is rightly reckoned a
most valuable aid to a happy home life.
An equally good and useful faculty is a
sense OF humOr, or the capacity TO have
little fun along with the humdrum
cares and work of life. We all know
how 1t brightens up things generally to
have lively, witty companion, who
sees the ridiculous points of things, and
who can turn an annoyance into an Oc-
casion for laughter. 1t is great deal
better TO laugh over some domestic mis-
hapS than TO cry or scold over them.
Many homes and lives are dull because
they are allowed to become too deeply
Impressed with sense of the cares and
responsibilities of life to recognize its
bright and especially its mirthfuI side.
Into such household, good but dull, &,
the advent OF witty, humorous friend
Is like sunshine on a cloudy day. While
II Is always oppressive to hear persons
constantly striving TO say witty or fun
ny things, it is comfortable to see what
brighteneT little fun is-to make an
effort to have some at home. 1t is well
To turn off an impatient question some
times, and To regard 1t from q humorous
point of view instead of becoming irrita-
ted about It. "Wife, what is the rea-
son | can never find a clean shirtP" ex-
claimed good but rather impatient
husband, after rumaging all through
the wrong drawers. His wife looked at
him steadily for moment, half incli
ned TO be provoked, then with a comical
look, she SAID: 81 never could guess
conundrums; give it up" Then he
laughed, and they both laughed and
she went and got his shirt, and he felt
ashamed of himself and kissed her, and
she felt happy; so, what mightihave been
an occasion for hard words and unkind
feelings, became just the contrary, all
through the little vein of humor that
cropped out to the surface. Some
children have peculiar faculty for CIV
ing a humorous turn to things when
they are reprOved. 1t does just as well
oftentrmes to laugh things off. Laugh
ing Is better than tears. Let us have a
little more of it at home

congratulating themselves on having
secured the line several very influential
citizens Of Athens, Georgia, backed by

made q proposition to the Columbus
capitalists to build the new road to
Athens instead of to Atlanta. 1t was
claimed that by 80 doing the line to
Griffin, thence to Covington, and from
there to Athens, would open up rich
cotton country in the interior of Georgia,
and that the Richmond and Danville
would offer better inducements than the
city of Atlanta would do. Immediately

A Wonderful R0bbeiN.

Early on yeaterday morning ono of the

out on the Georgia Pacific track, going
through the yard and over forty or fifty
switches.
A. s. Grocer, paymaster, was asleep
In his car and woke to find himself

frat that ho was only being shifted, but
on looking ut his watch aud nndiug It to

that something was wrong. A look Mt
the surroundings and the. train further
alarmed him, aud he Immediately pro.

his car to that in front and put on brakes
As soon as the supply car and engine
got away he leaped out, found himself
near the chemical works, four miles from
the city, and ran to some houses near
the track for help. While he was gone
the thieves evidently discovered the loas

THE TREATMENT OF CoNv1crs.

The treatment of conyicts upon the
Savannah Valley Railroad has justly
aroused the indignation of the people OF
the whole State, and tho voice goes up
from every part of the State that such
iniquitieB shall cease. 1t is disgrace to
any civilization for helpless prisoners to
be maltreated by their keepers, and we
fully concur with all that can be said to
induce the public mind TO entertain o
proper view Of the epormities of such
conduct. The sentiment which demands
humane treatment even of criminals
cannot be too stroug, and we trust that
It will be SO clear and unmistakable that
there Will be no contractor in the future
who will dare be either careless or cruel
in the treatment of convicts leased to
him. The vigorous prosecution of Jack.
son for his treatment of these conyicts is
right and salutary, and If this course had
been pursued from the frat, there would
have been no trouble now. Prosecution
Of the brutes who abuse prisoners will, in
our Judgment, render the lease system far
leps Objectionable than the overcrowding
of the penitentiary. We are not in favor
Of taxing the law.abiding portion of the
community to support criminals in
Improbable confinement, If they can be
advantageously worked without inhu.
manity. Under the new law, no con.
tracts will be made, except where they
are under the charge of 70 Deputy Super
intendent and guards from the State.
Wish these restrictions, II seems to us
that proper enforcement of the crimi-
nal laws will in future prevent the treat
ment complained of.

In conclusion, the Committee have care

legislation is necessary to secure tho proper
treatment OF such conyicts as are leased out
OF the Penitentiary, aud have arrived at
pie to secure the ends desired.
The Committee therefore recommend
that the Board of Directors Of the Peniten-
tiary, In making contracts for hiring out
convicta, prescribe such definite conditions
as to diet, clothing and general rules OF
hygiene as may be necessary for proper
care and treatment of such conyicts, and,
also: provide for competent medical inspec.
tion ut such intervals as may be required.
All conyicts taken out of the Penitentiary
should be worked under the charge and
discipline OF Il Superintendent, appointed
by the Superintendent of tho Penitentiary,
ana responsible to him, thus keeping the
eonVicts under the care Of an officer Of the
State. All contracts for the hire of con.
yicts should also be revocable by the Gov.

The Pail 1fdN Gazette has thrown all
England into blaze of excitement by
exposing the horrible crimes and deprav.
ity of some Of the leading men of the
nation. At first the police attempted to
suppress the circulation of the paper,
but its course was so thoroughly endorsed
by the leading clergymen and christian
people Of England that the paper defe es
the police, and proceeds with the revela.
tions. Already the new government
promises to rigidly enforce the criminal
law, and 80 TO amend it that the prepe.
tration of the denominations which the
Gazette has exposed shall cease. The
Gazette has done good work for England,
and we expect its example might be
initiated with profit to the public morals
by some of the leading papers in the
large cities Of our own country,
