An Inefable Cruelty to Children.

Mrs. Fenwick Muller, a London
writer of note, comes out strongly on
the subject of Lady Montague's methods
of discipline, and incidentally has some
plain words to say about punishments
for children in general, and specially
is she moved by that ineffable brutal
ity, the shutting up of young children
in the dark. Darkness is full of ter
rors to a child. Out of the gloom
come all sorts of horrible imaginings.
and many child has been half ruined
for life by the terror of darkness, will
fully inflicted by some woman either
too brutal to care or too ignorant to IN
derstand the Internal cruelty of leaving
children, whose imaginations are often
far more vivid than those of adults, III
all the horror of blackness, out of which
they, in their combined fancy and ig
norance, ring forth all kinds of terrible
and threatening things. No young chill
dren should ever be left without gli1n-
mer of light in q bedroom all night
long, as touch of Indigestion, a trou-
blesome dream, sudden awakening,
afraid and into darkness, may work
nerve mischief that may last a lifetime.
"There is no crime that child can
commit that would entitle US to expose
him or her to the mental agonies of soil
tude in darkness, many peopled as it is
with phantoms and terrors. We know
that even in our prisons this terrible
punishment is only resorted to to subdue
the most violent and refractory prison
ers, and that even then it is hedged
round with many restrictions, and only
permitted to be used for limited space
of time. If there is a woman living
whose heart does not respond to these
strong words there is something very
radically wrong with her,"

Advantages of q Married Life.

In the five years of life between the
ages of twenty and twenty-five the NOR
tahty of unmarried men is ia in 1O0,-
600, and of married men only 597. From
twenty-five to thirty the numbers re-
spectively are 1896 and SO. These
figures are derived from the death regis
ter Of Scotland, but the proportion Of
the bachelor to the benedict death rate
is believed to be about the same in this
country. Taking the whole Of the mar
ried men and the whole of the unmar-
ried men from the age of twenty to the
close of life, it is computed that the lives
of the former average 5915 years, while
those of the latter average only forty
years-a difference of 1917 years in IA
vor Of married men; that is, marriage
increases the average duration of mans
life by one-half, lacking six months

AMMEN's NAVAL RAM.
The Trouble at Homestead Delays the
Completion of Its Plates.

WASHINGTON, August 19.-Rear Ad-
miral Ammen, the inventor of the naval
ram now being constructed at the Bath
shipbuilding works in Maine, received a
letter from the superintendent OF the
works this morning saying it would be
impossible to get the ram ready for
launching before the last of September
and perhaps the middle of October. The
cause of the delay is not explained. Ad-
miral Ammen says this would not make
any material difference in the compile
ton of the ram, if all the other establish
ments were able to fulfill their part of
the contract.
The ram is to be heavily armored, and
the armor plates to be made by the
Carnegie works at Homestead. It was
the hope of the Navy Department. as
well as the line officers of the navy, that
this latest design in naval architecture
would be completed and ready for com
mission by March next, that her
ton at the naval review to be held next
April.
Possibly this may be done, says the
Admiral, but as there is no certainty
when the Carnegies will have their plant
in operation for turning out the special
armor plates required by the contract,
he has not much hope of seeing the ram
among the vessels of the American
squadron at their great assemblage of
the naval ships of the world.

mittee of Twelve taxpayers residing in
the vicinity of the railroads where the
strike is in progress, called upon Sheriff
Beck today and protested against the
great expense of holding the militia here
when in their opinion there was no need
of it. They asked that the National Guard
be removed at once unless the sheriff
could find some way of footing the bill
other than compelling the taxpayers to
pay it. One policeman, they claimed,
was better than twenty-five national
guard men. A committee ssof four from
the strikers today had a conference with
Mayor Bishop and Sheriff Beck.
They asked the mayor and sheriff to re-
call the troops. Some time was spent in
arguing, during which the railroad cor
porations were loudly denounced. The
delegation argued thatno acts of lawless-

Sheriff Beck said: Sunday night the
property of the railroads was set on fire
and destroyed. Passenger trains were
held and other unlawful acts committed.
The militia are merely here to, see that
these things do not occur again.
The troops are not here to protect the
railroads, but to preserve peace and sup
press riots. Mayor Bishop said as soon
as business was resumed and men and
trains passed unmolested the troops
would be withdrawn. The supervisors
committee will hold a special meeting
tomorrow to consider the advisability of
calling special meeting of the supervis-
ors to take action on the matter of the
retention of troops. The county super
visors are protesting vigorously against
