over to Hoboken in a queer sort Of q boat.
On reaching the bulkhead we saw lying
against 1t a vessel. about the size Of a
Whitehall row boat in which was a small
engine, in which there was no visible means
Of propulsion"
Present Condition of the Boat.
Most Of the woodwork. and other parts OF
the boat exposed to the water, became de-
cayed or rusted by its having long remained
in the river. but in 1874. when II was on
exhibition at q fair in Niblo's Garden. New
York, 1t underwent thorough repair. new
parts. In exact fac-simile of the old, being
substituted. However. the essential parts
are as they were when made, the engine
and boiler being unchanged. After study
ing this interesting relic we are struck
with the slow growth which the steam
boat has had during this century. The five
elements of this boat. viz: The four blade
screw-propeller, the use Of steam OF high
pressure. the multi-tubular boiler, the
quick engine connected directly to the pro-
peller shaft and the twin screws. are the
essentials of the great steamships OF today,
and yet a period Of forty years. after
Stevens finished his experiments. elapsed
before the great minds of the world recog-
nized the value Of his theory.

row, using basket or box, as the crop may
be pea or berry. When filled the picker
loses no time in bearing the pick TO the end
of the row, but sets the receptacle beside
the row till the row is run out. Then the
pick is borne to the starting point. where IL
remains until the row boss" or farmer
measures up and the brass checks are hand
ed out, to be cashed as desired. Most OF
the force retain the checks till the close OF
the season, for they usually bring out with
them all they need at the opening OF the
work. or have IL sent to them. No matter
how the prices may be. high or low, the
picker gets what he or she earns. Taking
the average yield OF berries at sixty crates
per acre. and the price at cents per quart,
the grower gets $50 gross and he pays So
for picking outside the incidentals; $50 for
his crates and 50 for commission, thus
leaving but So net for his labor, plants,
their berries this season, and In one case,
where shipped north, there was a loss Of 10
cents per crate. and the crate was rot re-
turned. A number who raised the Candy,
and had extra-sized Kentucky or other
large stock, realized good prices, some clear
ing over 500 per acre.
Pea-picking is not so profitable as the
berry pick, as the picker on the average
can earn only dollar or so. The crop
this season lie not turning out as an former
years. the vines being fine. but the pods
not being so large, and, consequently, the
picker is not making so much. For big
peas the average Yield per acre Is said TO
be forty bushels against ninety In former
years. The price is also lower than last
year, and will not average 90 cents per
bushel. at which rate the grower will get
but SIS or SIC for his labor and outlay on an
acre.
BY July ] the army Of pickers will have
picked all they were engaged for, and, with
replenished purses. leave for other fields OF
labor. IL Is creditable to all that with this
influx OF many nationalities there have teen
no Scenes of disorder and no conduct Cd
their part to cause complaint.

Acted a. Judges ON the Age Of Pros
titutes.
Josephine Norris a colored woman who
keeps an alleged house Of ill-fame in the
Division" at No. 1923 c street in VIOLA
ton Of law. figured in a case in the Police
Court this morning. The charge against her
was violating the law for the protection of
children, in admitting to her disreputable
house a sixteen-year-old colored girl named
Mary Green. to live a life OF shame. The
prisoner was the best-dressed female who
figured in the case, while some Of the wit
nesses wore clothes Of the secondhand or
der. Two of them were inmates OF this
house. and they were witnesses for the de-
were under the age prohibited by law. eigh-
teen years. although they said they were
older.
Mary Green. whose mother is a respect
able colored woman, was apparently, much
grieved because Of what had happened to
her child. and she gave her evidence in a
manner to show the interest she was taking
In her child. Mary said she was married
twenty-three years ago, and was the mother
Of twelve children. Four children were
born before Mary. and the mother said she
was sixteen years old.
The evidence Of the defense showed some
thing OF the methods employed by the keep
ers OF these places. When the girl was ad-
mitted to the house two policemen were
called in to see her. She had said she was
nineteen years OLD, so II was stated, just
one year over the lawful age and, ac-
cordtng to the statements of witness, the
officers passed" her as an eligible" in the
unlawful resort. But her sister had given
notice In this section that she was only six
teen years old. Mary told the court that
she was told by the proprietress of the
house to say she was nineteen years old.
Lawyer T. c. Taylor argued the case for
the woman, holding that she had used due
diligence In the matter, and that she had
every reason to believe that the girl was of
the lawful age.
Her diligence. the Judge said amounts 10
nothing. The business is unlawful In the
highest degree. and 1t is wholly immaterial
whether she knew the girls age or not
The law forbids the harboring Of a girl

said that every safeguard had been thrown
around them, and the court would Certainly
do its duty. .--.---- -
Lawyer Taylor made another plea for his
client, and during the course Of his re.
marks ne told the court that there was an
understanding Of some kind that these
places should not be troubled unless rob-
berries We're committed In the houses. or
there were scenes Of disorder, such as are
not usual n such places
Judge Miller said that the court had noth-
ing 10 DO with such an arrangement, and
sentenced the Norris woman to eleven
months In jail without fine.
