Discipline Among Circus Employees.

Life on the road Is far from easy for u
circus company; unlike a theatrical COM
blnation, 1t rarely stops for more than a
single day in one place. Early IN the
morning the destination is reached and the
trainmen and tentmen begin to unload tho
wagons and haul out the tableau cars.
Then the tent is pitched and the perform
ers assemble in the dressing tents and
prepare for tho parade. In this all take
part, and it is looked upon by the princi-
pals as the prime nuisance Of the day. Tho
parade over the dressing rooms are .once
more occupied, and soon all are ready for
the afternoons performance.
Discipline behind the scenes is strict
indeed. A system of fines keeps vagrant
spirits in check. and though to an out
slider all is hustle and confusion, every
thing moves with the regularity of clock
work. Each turn, as an appearance In
the ring is called, has to be made to the
second, for should the performer be even
tritie beyond time he or she would dis
arrange the whole schedule of the pro-
gramme But little slzylarking is indulged
in, for all are intent on business. The
show over the people betake themselves
either to their lodgings or to the camp"
tent, snatch hearty meal and rest
while before the evening show begins, at
the close Of which rush is made for the
train, and the hunks in the sleeping cars
arranged so as to occupy much less room
than those in Pullman car (there are
sometimes three or four tiers) are soon
occupied, and before the train Is under
way the tired performers are asleep. The
tent and train men are the last TO turn
IN, for they have been engaged in strik-
ing the canvas and getting the animal
cages and tableaux cars safely on board.
They work with incredible quiclxness,
however, and soon all is ship shape and
the train is rushing onward with the
slumbering crew to the next stopping
place, where all begins over again

How a Lithograph Is Made.

After the photographer has carefully
studied the original drawing before him
and laid out his plan he makes q careful
tracing of it on transparent gelatine, on
which he indicates every line or shade or
gradation, and this tracing is carefully
transferred to previously prepared stone
and serves as "lxey" to the entire work
and for all the color stones.
The work on stone is drawn with q
greasy black chemically prepared crayon,
which, by the way, has to be sharpened
backward, or from the point up, as its
very brittle nature will not allow of its
being sharpened in the ordinary way.
The greasy crayon penetrates the stone,
which is then subjected to a solution Of
gum arabic and nitric acid after which it
is carefully washed off with water The
black drawing, however, still shows, but
is now easily washed from the face of the
stone with turpentine. leaving tho sur
face, to all appearances, as clean as when
the stone first came into the artists hands.
1t is then dampened with water. The
printer passes his roller, charged with
color, over the surface, and this adheres
only where the stone is dry, or in other
words, where the grease Of the crayon is,
and this color is transferred from the
stone to the paper.
The same process is employed for the
application of each successive color, por-
tions of the picture being drawn onssev-
eral different stones to obtain what may
be called the composite tints, while others
are only drawn on a single stone, when
the color in the picture is to be one Of
those directly employed. - New York

A certain farmer and granger, about
hundred years ago, wrote the following
farm notes-good yet: Economy In all
things is as commendable in the manager
as it is beneficial and desirable to the en-
ployer, and on a farm it shows itself In
nothing more evidently. or more essen
TALLY, than in not suffering the provender
to be wasted; but. on the contrary, In
taking care that every atom of it be used
to the best advantage. and likewise in not
permitting the plows. harness and other
implements of husbandry and the gears
belonging to them to be unnecessarily ex-
posed, trodden under foot, run over by
carts and abused in other respects" That
farmer and granger's name was, George
Washington. He was as good a farmer
as he was Father Of his Country Globe

The letter of Hon. James G. Blaine
prohibiting the use of his name as a
presidential candidate was hailed with
delight by all the Republicans through
ont the country who place party before
men. Quite number of Republicans
who were committed to Mr.. Blaine and
would have followed the Plumed Knight
to another defeat, have gladly seized
this opportunity to escape. Few men
of any party question the statesman
ship or ability of Mr.. Blaine, yet there
was peculiar, Understandable fear of
him, that caused even some of his warm
est friends to tremble when they thought
of what might be the probable out
come of elevating him to the presiden-
tial chair.
The letter was not emphatic enough
to satisfy everyone that Mr.. Blaine
meant that he would not accept the
nomination if it was rendered, and that
he really desired to get out Of the con-
test. But it furnished road by which
the party will get out of the fearful
dilemma in which it has been founder
ing. New courage will be instilled into
the breasts of those who feared Mr..
Blaine would again be forced upon the
party and again be defeated. Now with
Blaine out of the way there is almost
certainty of victory assured for the
party, with either of the probable candi-
pates now before the country. A man
can now be found upon which all can
unite, and with a united Republican
party voting it's entire strength, that vic.
tory will be ours is beyond question.
While We would have no objections tc
Mr.. Blaine as president we did not care
to have him nominated for fear he
would be defeated again, as we suspected
he would be before. The thing we neeC
most is to win; to win with any mar
who can win, which we certainly Will de
if the trend of the party at present il
followed; then Mr.. Blaine may perhaps
have the nomination rendered him on
silver waiter; and being in power, with
the lesson we learned, we have may bs
able to reward him for allowing us tt
win this time, by elevating him to thu
goal of his ambition.

case is brought to his knowledge, in the
proper manner. Besides being held
in durance vile without being-as we
belieye-guiltY, Mcfarland has his
constitution SO undermined by lung
troubles that it is only a question of a
short time, ere he will gain his freedom
by death; and in the name of common
humanity-as well as justice-he should
be pardoned. Ephemeral efforts have
been made toward bringing the matter

Warden Stordock, he appears to be the
very soul of honesty, and to possess
executive ability of the rarest kind; as
evidenced by the excellent manner
in which the prison is conducted.
Governor McGill made wise selection
when he appointed him, and we cannot
see how the recent charges against him
could have ended otherwise then they
did. Ofthe prisons we have visited in
thesseveral states, we have seen none
more ably Differed and conducted, and
we unhesitatingly say, Warden Stor
dock is the right man in the right
place.

Upon an invitation of Warden H. G..
Stordock, the APPEAL visited the peni-
ten,iary last week, and spent the day
looking over that institution. We
found it most admirably conducted IN
every particular. The officers, from
the warden down, were very courteous
and obliging, and gave us ample oppor-
tunity to examine every feature Of the
institution with the utmost freedom,
and most minute detail. There are 1876
inmates, ranging in age from 16 to 70.
There are 81 Colored prisoners.
were only four in the sick ward, and
none Of these bed fast. There was but
one confined in the dungeon, all the
rest, or as many of them as were
needed, were employed in the work
shops, or at different occupations about
the institution. We enqulred particu-
tarly and was told, by the men
themselves, that there was no
the slightest difference shown on &C.
count Of color, unless, indeed, the
Colored men seemed to be so fortunate
as to get some of the most desirable
and trusted situations and occupa-
tons.
The discipline seemed to be humane
but strict and just, The entire institu-
ton is heated by steam and is warm
and comfortable, and a marvel of neat
ness from one end to the other. The
food furnished is good and wholesome,
and the men have all they want. There
is library containing over $500 vol
umes. The "Prison Mirror" a very
excellent paper, is conducted within
the walls, all the work except the press
work, being done by the inmates; it has
a circulation of about 200 copies. the
proceeds from the paper go to the fund
for maintaining the library. There are
some notable prisoners in the institu
ton among whom are the three
Younger brothers, who have done
eleven years of their life sentences, ano
have never broken any of the prison
rules. We met there Samuel McFar
land, the young man who has furnished
the letters from Saltwater which have
heretofore appeared in the APPEAL
The history Of the crime, for which he
was sentenced for seven years, is too
familiar to need repetition here. He
is bright, intelligent man, and is the
most trusted of any one of the 435 me1
in the prison. He has charge of the
warden's office and the rooms Of the
officers of the institution, and by his ex
emplary conduct, has gained the I'm
qualified confidence of all the officers
Netherlands case is very peculia
one and the unanimous sentimsn
among those who know him, and those
who know the facts in his case is, tina
he is innocent of the crime with. which
he was charged and for which he il
incarcerated. The general impression
is, that he is there because tn
law had to have victim, circumstance
made him that victim, though we ar
at loss to understand, how an intelli
gent, unprecedented jury could convict
man with the testimony, such as wa
adduced in his case-if we have bee
