EDITOR 0RENADh pEN llNEL
Last week Isent you brief description
of the Shelby county Poor House, and
now propose to give you some items in
reference to the Work House (or house
of correction), which stands in sight of
the former. 1t is we'll and tastefully
built OF brick and mortar, intended more
for the convenience, comfort and safety
than architectural display
1t is here that criminals of the lighter
order are incarcerated, men, women'
boys and girls, for petit crimes and miss
demeanors. Their sentences of impris-
onment seldom exceed twelve months.
walked through the premises and found
them as far as I could Judge admirably
adapted to the purposes for which they
are intended.
The cells where they are locked up are
cool and airy and perfectly clean. The
dining room is not only large and well
divided as to sexes and color, but the fare
Of bacon, cabbage, gree n corn and toma~
toes, was we'll cooked and wholesome,
while everything around bore the i'm
press of scrupulous neatness.
The men who are physically able, work
on public roads under guard, while those
less competent, work in the gardens
which embrace several acres.
The only women we saw there were
colored, and were engaged IN washing
scrubbing and other domestic work. Like
all persons of this class they declared they
had been put there without just cause
but seemed to be satisfied. If cleanliness:
is akin to Goodness, they have full
compliment oft in this institution, al
though it is prison. Idlencss is no par
of the industries, paradoxical as it may
seem Of this place.
The Poor House and the Work Houst
are the outposts of Shelby county's phi
lanthropy, as it supports one class wh(
are almost helpless and another who arr
barely criminal, showing combination
of wisdom and mercy highly creditabl'
to the authorities of Shelby County
The manager of the Work House is Mr.
Joseph Cole, an intelligent, affable anC
compliant gentleman, who took pleasur,
in showing us every thing worthy o
note, which makes us believe he is tn
right man in the right place.

Gen. Sam Carey, Of Ohio, is the mos

Gen. Sam Carey, of Ohio, is the most
remarkable man who has appeared in
the present political canvass. He stump,
ed the country for Gen. Harrison in lS40
and now, in his seventy-fifth year, full ot
life and vigor, he has taken the stump
against the grandson, Ben Harrison, o.
Indiana. He expects to continue in the
field until November, and to gain ter
pounds by the healthy exercise. He
has hopes that the Democrats will carry
Ohio, from which it may be inferred that
he is of a very sanguine temperament.

One of the good signs OF the times is
the fact that for nearly two years, while
their synagogue was building, the Tenn
pie Israel congregation, CT St. Louis, wor-
shipped in the First Christian Church in
that city. In returning thanks for this
hospitality, Rabbi Sonneschein charac-
terized it as zone OF those precious links
in the golden chain Of mutual recogni,
ton, which, under the fostering arms Of
American civilization, reconciles the dis
ciples of Moses to the disciples of Jesus. u
He closed by invoking Gods blessing on
the church and all its aims.

The Ex-COnreu crate colony

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The ex-Confederate colony in New
York continues to grow. At almost
every social gathering may be seen one
or two men who won the title OF General
when they wore the gray. The Southern
Society, started short time ago, now has
a membership of hundreds, and will
soon have building of its own. These
Southerners and ex-Confederates display
as much thrift and enterprise as their
Northern brethren, and even in strange
land have shown their ability to hold
their own.

A writer in the Albany Argus dis
courses aboutlocomotivesa as follows: "An
old engineer told me the other day that
locomotives were habitual cranks why
he said only year ago two engines
came from the same shop, were made
from the same castings, were put to-
gether by the same workmen, but one
of the two engines wouldn't bulge an
inch faster than fifteen miles an hour,
while her companion could easily roll off
sixty miles an hour. We crowded every
pound of steam upon the l5-miler, but,
no, she wouldn't move an inch faster,
although she would draw four more
heavily loaded freight cars than the
engine that rolled up sixty miles an
hour to her credit. Suddenly the Is.
miller came to dead stop between sta.
tions, and there she stuck, aud couldn't
be made to move again. Almost at the
same time the 60.miler on another por-
tlon OF the road came 10 ueAu sup diso,
aud she couldn't be made to move.
Both engines were drawn back to the
shop, were taken apart, examined, put
together again, but no, they could not
be made to move under $50 pounds OF
steam. Stop running they would, and
stop running they did, although beth of
them were not year old. Finally they
were broken up and sold for old junk
1t is not always the bright new engine
you see, that is the best. In the round :
house we have some old tubs, out Of
fashion, that can and do beat the new en-
gines in speed and drawing capacity
every day. and are always reliable. Your
locomotives are expensive! They used
to be. You can get fine locomotive
nowadays for 50, 900 or $4,000 that for.
merly cost $1,000 and $4,000. Com

The main tower of the palace starts at
the base fifty feet square, with smaller
circular towers at the corners twelve feet
in diameter. This shape is carried to the
height of eighty feet, when the corner
towers end and the grand central tower
assumes circular form, and with diam
eter of forty-two feet rises to the height
of about one hundred aud thirty feet.
On the sides of the tower spacious inches
contain mazes of snow-shoers, toboggan-
ers, skaters and animals modelled in ice.
The palace is so designed that the per-
fection of electric illumination from the
interior is achieved, and the grandest eff
feet of works is produced. The effect
OF the bright northern sun upon the
palace is exceedingly beautiful, the gilt
