Our New Orleans correspondent sends us
a letter filed with animatng facts about tho
bountiful rice crop Of this year. The rice crop
which the planters are now harveatin. is the
largest and most extraordinary crop ever
raised in this country. Tho crop Of the State
OF Louisiana alone is greater than that Of all
the States OF the Union in any rast year. 1t is
truly an astonishing array Of facts that APP
pear in the letter OF our New Orleans corro-
spondent The whole country will rejoice
over the knowledge OF them.
The rice crop will DO profitable. too. There
is good market for tho whole Of it in this
country. All OF the rice that the American
people require can be raised in our Southern
States We do not need to import any Of it
from foreign countries. Our American rico is
tho best in the world.
Our correspondent gives very interesting
reasons for the sudden and amazing develop
ment OF rice planting in tho South. They can
be found In his letter.
1t appears that some OF the planters are
already troubled with an apprehension that
there will hereafter bo an overproduc.ion OF
rice In the South. We are disposed to enter
tain tho opinion. however. that rico must
grow in favor with tho American people when
their thought is directed to it as an article Of
diet, and II the best quality OF II be offered for
sale everywhere at tho lowest possible price.
There Is no more nourishing food than rice:
there Is no cheaper. Tho consumption Of it
In this country ought to be Increased hun

The progress OF the light-brown shoe
movement this year Is even more noticeable
than 1t was last year. which may have been
the nrst year. II it were not the second year, of
that movement in this vicinity. We are as
sured that over one hundred thousand mira
OF light-brown shoes have been sold hero
since the opening OF the spring trade, and it is
estimated that shoes Of this kind are now
worn BY about Quarter of a million Of the
denizens OF New York anu Brooklyn. The
great majority OF the wearers OF them are
men. but many women are also known to
wear them. II the movement in their favor
continues to grow as rapidly as it has grown
Tor the past two or three years. they will be
tho ordinary wear Of New Workers. before tho
bells ring out our dwindling century.
Inc movement is interesting. 1t has adj
vanced quietly. There has been very little
talk. and there have been no lectures. SO far
as We know. in favor OF the cause Of shoe re-
form. Without saying a word about the sub
ject. multitude have put off tho black put on
the light brown. and proceeded about their
other business. Few of them. SO far as we
have heard. argued tho case outside OF their
own minds They preferred tho light brown.
for one reason or another. to tho black. We
pronounce no judgment upon their choice:
We merely observe the facts. while contem-
plating the progress Of tho reform. If it be a
reform.
Tho change has affected tho leather trade.
the shoemakers' trade. the shoe sellers bust
ness. the shoestring business. the backing
business. and tho shoeblacks' business. 1t
is no trifinE thing. this brown shoes move
ment. or cause. or reform. or propaganda.
Some men have made money by reason Of
1t. while other men have lost. We shall
neither encourage nor discourage it. But
there Is food for thought. food for brown and
black studies In 1t. By the way. why does not
some popular lecturer. who is hard up for an
attractive theme. take up this movement and
deliver course Of illustrated popular dis
courses about it2 He could talk about it for
an hour every night all through the week.

vlcts are not required to work and the
Superintendent has given them a hall
holiday on Saturdays. The prisoners
are left TO charge of four guards. In
one corner q rough platform has been
erected, and an entertainment is given
every Saturday afternoon. The pris-
Oners are allowed certain liberties, and
so far have not abused any Of the privi-
leges granted. A number Of them are
good musicians, and string band has
been organized, which with a harmOni-
ca makes music, while q number OF the
better educated prisoners deliver ad-
dresses and recitations.
During these Saturday afternoon en-
tertainments the prisoners are allowed
20 talk with each other, a privilege
which they have never had before, but
guards are constantly on hand to pre-
vent the formation of any plot to
escape. The cOnvicts are especially
thankful for this privilege. 1t has here
tOfOre been the custom to take them
out on Sunday mornings for exercise,
when they were compelled to walk sim
gle file, and not allowed 20 exchange
words. superintendent Van Pelt

All of the convlcts in the prison from
Ohio county are employed in the broom
and whip shops, except young Williams
who was convicted Of backing open the
mail boxes. He is working in the 0a-
kerry. Kelly and Christie, who were
convicted for numbering Officer Joe
Glenn, are both working in the broom
shop. They are closely watched by the
guards, as they are considered danger
Gus prisoners. Neither has much TO
say, but when spoken to about the muir

innocence.
w. b. Miller, who was convicted OF
robbery, will be free man on January
5th, having gained some time for good
behavior. Miller is already counting
the DAYS which must elapse before his
release. He told the reporter he had
been taught a lesson, and when he gets
out he proposes to reform, and lead an
honest life. He intends to come to
Wheeling for few days, and then go
West, to start life anew.
The question of convict labor Is an
important one, and one which has call
ed forth protests from labor organiza-
tions throughout the country. Under
the circumstances, the opinion OF Su-
perintendent Van Pelt upon this point,
will prove interesting.
THE sUPERINTENDENT's VIEWS.
cit is easier" said be, "to man age
twenty-five convlcts at work, than five
who are idle. The question is one
which is difficult Of solution, but the
fact should beconsidered, that the men
must be employed. They could not
live without working, and it does not
give them an opportunity to play mis-
chief l am aware that the employ
ment of convicts is condemned by or
ganiZed labor, but the idea OF placing
them at work upon the roads through
out the State is impractcabe. Some
manufacturers say they can not COM
pete with convict-made goods. Mr..
Weaver, who was member OF the firm
which employed all the con-
victs in the State of West Virginia
prison, withdrew, and is now erecting a
large factory in Moundsville, for the
manufacture of the same line OF goods.
He says be can successfully compete
with the prison made goods, for the
reason that improved machinery will
Offset the advantage ofthe cheap prison
labor, the laws Of the State providing
that work in the penitentiary must be
done by hand.
"The only remedy which have d is
covered for the evil, II it Is an evil, lies
in the State authorities taking charge
of the workshops, and selling the
product. I think, however, that the
experiment was once tried here, and
proved unsuccessful. I think it was
the result of improper knowledge and
management of the business, rather
than fault in the system"

to split one knee-cap into two pieces.
The accident, aside from being pain
full one, will make him a cripple for
