Then the party made their way to the
dormitories. This was a task in itself, as
the narrow stairway was hemmed in bv
doubled up before they got TO the top. As
they reached the top stair they instInc-
lively rushed for the windows and threw
them up. The air was foul and tetid.
GOV. Pattison walked over to one Of the
beds and turned up the clothing. The
cover on the scant straw bolster and the
sheets were dirty, fOul-smelling and
stained. Pooh Bah Sherbin said the sheets
were changed every two weeks. The
Governor took possession OF a sheet and
bolster gs witnesses for future examina-
ton. There were So beds for 1856 boys two
weeks ago. Now there are 80 beds for
1S4 boys. Things have been changed,
as the attendant acknowledged under

In a room by the lavatOry was kept the
cast-Off clothing Of the boys, hung up to
air two weeks ago, when the boys, were
given their Sunday clOthce TO wear every
day. Their new Sunday clothes arrived
Yesterday, they should have been issued in
December. The east-Of clothing Of these
boys is simply indescribable. a tramp

dirty, patched out Of all semblarce to the

to be issued, the attendant said, when the
boys bad work TO do. The Governor
secured suit for exhibition
purposes. IL would look we'll in q dime

BOY DRUGGISTS ANp DOCTORS.

In the sckrOom a boy was found in
charge OF the in6rmary. He dealt out
medicine In the absence of the physician.
The Attorney General noticed that some
OF the boys had sore eyes. HI asked one
of the boys the cause. 81 don't know,
SIR" answered the lad. s'The doctor
hasn't seen them" Further examination
revealed the fact that a large lumber of
blue.e eyed boys with sore eyes we're treat
ed by one of their number who carried a
bottle of eyewash given him by SherbIn.
This boy dropped the wash into the ewes
of the Others, and they performed the same
service for him. Then he put the bottle
in his pocket. In the primary school room
nifty children were found crowded together
and the only ventilation was from five
broken windOw-panes. The boys bath
room is curiosity. 1t is about 10 feet
square aud contains boiler for hot water
and a miniature bathtub about Is inches
wide by feet long. Every Saturday the
boys get tubbed. Eight Of them are al
lowed In the room at time and ten towels
are furnished to the 1874 boys. That is
what Mr.. Sherbin said. The hot-water
boiler would be worked hard TO supply
water enough Tor fifty boys in day. II
was found that bread and treacIe formed
a chief part OF the diet. The Governor and
party returned here this evening.

Sad Stories from Berlin.

Berlin Letter to the New York Sum-.
Out of a population of 1, 10000 In
Berlin more than 100000 are receiv-
ing public charity. Many of the work
ingmen here openly favor community
of wives. Divorces have increased to
Is per cent. of the marriages solemn
lied. The attendance at the churches
has decreased to per cent. of the
adult population, and of 18, 900 tuner
ais last year nearly 10000 were per-
formed without any religious ceremou-
les whatever.
Women flock by thousands to the
city to obtain employment, and, fail
ing to get what they want, large num-
bers fall and are lost. This evil has
become so great that strenuous efforts
are being made to avoid it. The law
of consent has already been raised in
g. similar way as it was done in New
York and in England. By such legis-
lative ena tment some sort of protec-
ton is extended to girls up to the age
of 18. Lodging houses and benevolent
institutions have been established to
aid working women, and q society of
ladies has been formed charged with
protecting, sustaining and counseling
women up to the age of 35.

A New Departure.
from the Detroit Journal

From the DeCrOlG JOURNAL
[ am happy to be able to state on
frst-rate authority that the Michigan
woman at last bids fair to leave her
mark all over theportcullis of the age.
She has organized herself into an "egg
brigade" I havenever been intimate
ly acquainted with brigade of the egg
variety, but from what | know of the
Michigan woman I do not hesitate to
affirm that the moral tone of Shafts
burg in the sweet hereafter will MARBLE
along to good business in high G. Few
things will reform q bad man quicker
or more effectually than an egg of the
vintage his grandfather wore, if applied
by half dozen desperate women.
That is doubtless the reason the
Shaftsburg woman has embraced the
eggnostic faith. The other evening
the egg brigade visited house in the
village and painted series of italian
sunsets after the old masters all over
the front of the building. When the
Objectionable tenants went out the
next morning in theroseate gl1mmer of
early dawn and measured the length
and breadth OF their local popularity
on the illuminated text of the wealth
er-boarding, they felt that they were
indeed ready to go hence. Thus does
the Michigan woman emphasize in ital-
les her right to front seat in the i'm
mortal caravan of progress.

The Largest Schooner.

From the Philadelphia Record
What will be the largest schooner in
the worlds commerce when completed
is being constructed at Bath, Me-, for
the Philadelphia coal trade. She will
be g fve-masted vessel, and have q
carrying capacity of $500 tons of
coal. The craft will be $50 feet in
length over all, forty-seven feet beam
and twenty-five feet depth of hold.
Each of the five masts will be 100 feet
above the deck, with sufficient gear
to spread $500 yards of canvas.
Capt. Baker of thefour-masted schoon-
er Augustus Hunt, now at this port,
loading for Boston, will command the
new craft. Four-masted vessels were,
until recently, considered g. curiosity.
The introduction of g. fve-masted
coaster, with sufficient space to carry
as much as five ordinary vessels, and
coupled with the outside barge-towing
system, has caused the owners of
small craft to wonder what will be the
next experiment of the coal trans

1t was in the bar-room of
the old Huntoon Hotel after the close
of the evening performance of the
greatest show on earth" Some of
the Aurora young men and several of
the circus attaches had congregated
for a good time. They had it. A
quarrel arose about nobody knew
what. A lively scrimmage ensued be-
tween the ''circus" and the "town."
Confusion reigned and underwood be-
came plenty. At this exciting moment
the door opened quietly anu Barnum
stepped in on the little drama.
He gave one quick glance around the
room and uttered the one word

was brief. In five minutes not a man

found in the room.

Georgia's Unlucky Man.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
The Georgia newspapers, which are
not always truthful, assure us that
the most Deaceable and dangerous
ma an in all these United States lives in
Murray County. He is kind-hearted,
good-tempered, never had a quarrel in
his life, wouldn't hurt fly, and every
body is afraid of him. About year
ago he was cutting wood when the axe
flew of the handle and killed a man
who had come to pay him $50. He
never got a cent Of the money. The
next week, while ferrying a friend
across the river, ne ran the boat
against a snag and his friend was
drowned. About month later he
felled tree onftop of a stranger who
was lying asleep in the woods, killing
him instantly. Not long after he shot
st a wild turkey and killed neighbor
whom he didn't see at all. Three
weeks later he lighted a kerosene lamp,
when it suddenly exploded, burning to
death g. colporteur to whom the inof-
fensive Georgian had courteously ex-
tended the hospitality of his home.
All this mans friends run when they
see him coming. He would be afraid
to extend any kindness save to his en-
emies, if he had any. His last public

Romance of Real Irish Point-Lace.

r.. P. Porter Cor. Philadelphia Press.
The finest and most beautiful lace
made IN Ireland comes from Youghal,
and is known as Irish point, which is
recognized as an original lace from its
extraordinary and skillful combina-
ton Of some twenty-five or more diff
ferent stitches, copied from various
foreign laces. This lacewas originated
by Mrs. Mary Ann Smith, a lady who
had devoted her life by solemn vows
to doing good in connection with the
school of the Presentation Order of
Nuns. Having found in the Youghal
convent g. piece of antique lace, Mrs.
Smith undertook to make O. copy OF
it. Her efforts were attended with
great success, and she determined to
teach the art to the children who were
then attending the parish school and
were literally suffering from want OF
food, for famine hung over the land.
The only employment then open to
them was muslin embroidery, at which
for ten hours of steady labor they
could earn two cents. From the fact
that this lace has been kept up to
the early standard and even improved,
there seems to be a steady demand
for it.

A $40, 900, 900 Tooth Carpenter.
IFrom the Cleveland Leader. ]

From the Cleveland Leader
/ met yesterday q Philadelphia
who has been residing in Paris for
many years. He tells me, that Or.
Evans, the American dentist there, Is
worth at least $lO,OOO,OOO, and that
he lives like prince. Evans said one
day that he supposed that he was the
only man in the world who had pulled
the noses and hurt the jaws OF every
king upon European throne. Evans
went to France in the time of Louis
Napoleon, and went in with an Amerl-
can named Brewster, who was dentist
to the emperor. Young Evans was q
pretty good tooth-puller, and under
stood how to polish his manners as
we'll as the gold which he put into
teeth, and he became 80 popular with
Louis Napoleon that he succeeded In
freezing out Brewster and taking his
place.
| have heard some stories OF Eugene
meeting Napoleon at DR.. Evans Office
during the courtship of the two, and
that, In fact, Louis Napoleon first saw
her in Evans dental chair. At any
rate, he soon got In with the empress,
and he carried himself so well that he
was popular with the whole family.
Evans was a natty little fellow with
large features and good talker.
Among his presents were diamond
studded snuff-boxes, fine rings, dia-
mond pins and furs, which were almost
worth their weight in gold. His house
in Paris is filled with beautiful souve-
Mrs, and he has presents from all the
kings, from the Gar of Russia down
to the prince of some pstty dukedom.

AS MANY women wear their hair


AS many women wear their hair
dressed very high, pins to keep their
bonnets in place are required besides
the strings, and many fancy devices
are designed for this purpose. Tri.
dents, daggers, shepherds crooks,
and even now the bishops crosier
have been initiated. 1t is always we'll
to have q number of these pretty pins
at hand to fasten sprays of flowers,
so that different varieties can occa-
sionally be substituted TO suit other
dresses. This is an economical idea,
especially useful when a lady Is from
home, and does not wish to be cum
bersd with extra luggage. A black
lace bonnet or hat, with removable
ornaments, would almost defy recog-
pition.
