IYGNEIS IN CENTR4L PARK.
The Black Swan Nniches Five, but Four OF
Them arc Eaten by Gals.

Tho black swan UP at Central Park did hor
duty. or at least flve-siXths Of her duty. for
she brought forth to the world cygnctS from
five out OF the six eggs on which she had hecn
sitting for more than a month But the preda-
tory cats that infest the park regard cygnets
Ms their special prey. and before the little ones
were four days old four OF them had become
the victims OF these feline providers. The ono
left Is fluffy. lead-colored little bird that
floats in the waters OF the lower lake like a
toy and swims nfter its long ncckel parents
with soft little cry. The black swans arc
enormously proud Of the little fellow. and are
teaching it all the arts Of swanhoOd. 1t learned
to swim ut the age Of twcnty-four hours and
now seems as much ut home in tho water ns
do its excellent parents. The father is MS at
tcntive to the cygnct as is the mother AMI no
infant was ever more tendsrly cOdllcl. Tho
rapid strokes with which tho old SWANS used
to take the water have been sca!od down to
suit the force Of this latest addition to the
family. and the pair sail slowly about tho lake.

They Answer PowdcrIy's Charges and Pre-.
die: More Violence at MoMe

die: More Violence at Homestead.
William A. Pinkerton and Robert A. Pinker-
tod have Just sent a statement to tho Judiciary
Committee of the House OF Representatives. as
an answer to the charges OF Mr.. Powderly and
Senator Vest concerning tho alleged outrages
of rinkerton men UPON workngm en- in strikes
Of recent occurrence. Incidents OF the New
York Central strike. the c.. d. and =. strike.
and the strike on the Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad are cited. In nearly every case tho
responsibility Is laid by the statement OF the
Pinkertons ut the door Of the strikers them
selves.
The instances we have referred to are only
a few samples OF hundreds Of crimes COM
mttcd by members Of these secret labor or
Eanizati"ns TO aid their strikes or to revenge
themselves upon their employers for not sub
employees. 1t is undoubtedly truo that the
great majority Of the mem hcrs Of these secret
organizations are law abiding and respecta-
BILE, and that u ,mal minority only participate
in these crimes. But il the labor organZa-
tons are honestly sincere in their expressions
tect property. they could readily discipline and
control the guilty ones and we would no
longer witness the fearful scenes that attend
nearly all strikes. and that are such digruce
condemned. the outragcs 50 committed arc
virtually glpinudcd and, the criminals. II
caught and indicted. are glorilied AS martyrs
Notwithstanding tho protestations OF tho
lenders ut Homestead. no reasonable man can
form moment doubt that II the troops and
mon now working In tho mills would tie muir
dered. and for no offence. no wrong, no injury
to any one. Tho only grievance Is that these
non-union men are anxious to honestly earn
their living in empoyments and upon terms
entirely satisfactory to them. but which the
strikers have seen TT to reject or to spurn.'

MODES OF PUNISHMENT.

The Reformatory Systems still Adhere TO
to the Old-Fashioned Flogging.
The dean Of st Paups, replying to
the attack on corporal punishment by
A. j. Palm, in the American Journal OF
Politics, says. MI. Palm displays consid-
cradle ignorance, even Of his own coun-
try, in his article He states that whip
ping has been abolished in all first
class American prisons presume he
regards the two admirable reforma-
tories at Philadelphia and Huntingt ton,
Pa, as Rrst-class prisons. Yet in both
these institutions, according to recent
Investigations, it has been found that
corporal punishment fourishes and pro-
duces good.
As to his argument that because
fogging has been abolished in French
schools, they are better disciplined than
English ones, let him read the opinions
Of Max O'RelL There he will find thai
this is very far from being the case.
French boys are an unmanly, vicious and
even immoral horde, because they are
wholly unrestrained in school English
boys, on the contrary, are brave. man;

this:
