She was q lace make-, but her hands became sweiied and clumsy from oyerwork, so that the boss put her on cheaper and coarser work. This reduced her income to such all extent that she, 2 ,paired.

It is natural that a quiet, unosten- tatious workman should not be gen. erally known in a large city like New Haven; therefore we publish the above picture which, though rather crude, still represents very fairly the honest countenance of the workmen's choice for Mayor.

Convict Labor in England.

A writer in the Boston Herald tells
OF some OF the devices employed in
England to keep convicts employed:
"The convicts were marched into a
large yard and formed three sides OF
q square, standing about five feet
apart, facing inward. Near one end
OF the line was pyramid OF 24-pound
cannon balls. In the center OF the
square stood the officer or guard.
When all was ready he gave the
order, One, when every man moved
sideways five feet to the right, which
brought the man at the head of the line
opposite thepyramid Of balls. Two.
Every man stoops down, without
bending his knees, the first ma tax
ing q ball from the pile, the
Others going through the motion till a
ball reached them. Three The
men moved back to their original
places. -Four They stopped down
and placed the ball upon the ground,
not being allowed to drop it. And 50
on, the movements continued, the Or
ders quickened at the will of the guard,
till the balls were all conveyed through
the line and piled up at the other end.
1t required but few minutes OF these
rapid movements to bring every man
into state OF profuse perspiration,
showing that the labor was of the
severest kind. A short time was al.
lowed the men to rest, when they were
again called to order, and, by the
same movement, the balls were re-
turned to their original place; and so
on throughout the day these can
non balls were passed forward and
back, with no object only to furnish
labor for the men. In the prisons es-
tablished upon the solitary or sepa-
rate plan, where the convicts work in
their cells, they have what they called
the crank labor an iron cylinder or
drum two feet long and eighteen or
twenty inches in diameter, resting up
on legs. A spindle or shaft is passed
through the drum, with q crank on
one end for turning it. Attached to
the spindle within the drum, which
was filled with sand, were fiat arms,
making it necessary to use consider.

registered the number OF revolutions

An Iowa Farm.

johnson county, though rot first
perhaps, ranks we'll with other coun.
ties OF the state for fine stock-farms
and thoroughbred stock Near Iowa
City, as we'll as in other parts of the
county, are herds OF short horns, Hol-
stems, Polled Angus, AYRSHIRE and
Jerseys, while many farmers have
turned their attention to the raising
OF horses. Buyers for eastern markets
find Iowa City we'll supplied with the
class of horses they want, either draft
or road.
Ten miles from the city, as the crow
flies, We find the farm OF Mr.. Edwin
Brown, brie description may be OF
interest. Mr.. Brown came to Iowa
torty-seven years ago, stuck his stakes
in Big Grove township and went to
work. OF this worlds goods he had
but little. He was poor, but he had
what every young man needs to be
successful-pluck and energy. He
went in to win. His were days OF
hardship and toll. With his own hands
he broke his prairie, planted groves
and orchards, built asubstantial two
story house, added u barn and other
outbuildings. All this time he did not
forget the fine land around him, until
he had q clear title to 1000 us choice
acres as the sun shines upon. To-day,
after placing one OF his sons on quar-
ter section and reducing in other di-
rections, he has 600 acres, five Of
which are in grass. His pastures are
we'll set in bluegrass, clover and red
top. In most OF these, his stock are
up to their eyes i'll grass.
Nearly fifteen years ago Mr.. Brown
turned his attention to understanding.
His first purchase WAS two-inch tile
at Rock Island, he paying $45 per
thousand. The ditch in which they
were placed drains the land Just as
perfectly now as when first dug. He
has miles of tile, and his system ex-
tends over his entire farm. The usual
depth OF drain is three and half feet.
In some sloughs he has cut three
ditches-one in the center and one on
each side. The water is all utilized,
conducted to stone reservoirs and by
pipe to trough. Every field is thus
supplied with water. 1t is perfect
system, and for ali his large stock OF
cattle and horses, he draws no water,
summer or winter, having pure, cool,
fresh water in every field. Think OF
its value. Other farmers are adopting
his plan, and thousands ofmy brother
farmers can do the same thing.
What do his fields contain? Good
short-horn CATTLE fat steers and more
particularly, Clydesdale horses. He
has about fifty, and many Oft them are
SO hish-bred as to rank with his
thoroughbred stock. At the head
stands an imported stallion, OF recent
purchase, as near perfection as may
be found. He is truly Scotland glory.
Mr.. Brown may well be proud OF his
noble Clyde horses. for he finds both
pleasure and profit in breeding this
class. During the past Winter and
Spring he sold sixteen and 8 year
olds, half to three-quarters blood, at
an avpraoa prira of S1GO 5n

birth from prison and reared by the
charity OF a relative. Madame was
early Injured to poverty, aud, in the
hrpe OF escaping it, married Scarron,
the lglest man in all France, but she
only fell into worse straits with him.
He was a brilliant wit, and among
those who frequented his house was a
certain courtier. Scarron died, leav-
ing his wife in absolute indigence. She
hung about the court, soliciting a pen
sion from her husbands friend, the
courtier. He obtained for her the
place OF nurse to the infant Duke of
Maine, an ilegitimate son OF Louis
NV. She was sent to a watering
place with him. and the letters which
she wrote to Louis about the child
were so brilliant that he was surpris-
ed and finally fascinated, and in the
end married her.

Spontaneous combustion is said TO be
an impossibility. but a phenomenon that
at one time would have been ascribed to
that cause has lately been observed in the
suburbs of Paris. In 1871 a fire occurred
in a villa. The reparation was carried
ou under the direction of the architect,
and The house has since been occupied by
the same owner
One day he observed that the ceiling
of the dining-room appeared as if some
of the plaster was about to give way,
and, asthe buying increased, he called
in an architect. He concluded that a
beam must somehow have given away,
and workmen were employed to makea
more close examination. 1t was then
discovered that the wood was almost
entirely consumed. Some sparks may
have remained, and during fifteen years
the destruction must have gone on by
inches, for no other hypothesis was
brought forward than that OF very slow
combustion. The circumstance is so re-
markable as to appear almost Incredible,
