being only clerk and Mr. Farley being a
Deputy Collector it would be natural to
suppose that Mr.. Jerome had no authority
to order Farley upstairs, downstairs,
across the stairs or over the stairs, but
MI Farley not beng a blind horse in
politics accepted the wink and did not re-
quire the nod.
Mr.. Farley was instructed" and lad
vised" to make duplicate permit and to
deliver it to the reverend kicker. The
rules OF the department require that a
duplicate permit shall not be issued in
the absence OF proof that the original had
been lost There was no pretense that the
original had been lost. Both MIR. Monroe
and MI Jerome must have known that
the broker had the original, for Mr..
Thomas had refused to surrender it until
his fee had been paid.
Notwithstanding this knowledge the
duplicate was issued, and the Naval Off
Ger was snubDed by not being given an
opportunity to countersign it as required
by the Revised Statutes of the United
States. Mr.. Thomas lost his fee, and the
willy preacher went on his way to Canada

Embrace the True Idea of
Reform.

Since THE CALL began to urge the
reformation of the penitentiaries many
citizens have taken great interest in the
subject.
Among those who believe there is urgent
need of something along the line OF prison
reform are such men as Rev. C. w.
Wendte, DR.. Edward r. Taylor. NJ. NJ,
Estee and Chief of Police Lees.
it has been the experience of all who
have studied the question that the great
est obstacle in the way of reformatory
methods is practical politics. The masses
who have control CT prisons all over the
country are under the spell Of politics,
and they refuse to let go in obedience to
the behests OF advancing methods. For
this reason it has always been found diff
cult TO secure permanent reforms in new
countries, where there is a tendency to
let the penitentiaries remain very primi-
tive.
But the people OF California are begin
ming TO wonder when there will be an end
OF the reign Of chaos in prisons. They see
that such pleasure gardens as San Quen-
tin are practically breeding places for all
sorts of crimes, and as a result they are
beginning to demand a change of the
system. They are beginning TO ask how
penitentiaries IN other places are con-
Quoted, and to inquire whether it is posi-
bic for something better to be done in
this State

and after he was dead she would go too,
and find her lover in the cruel waves
where they had flung him, and he
should be hers in death.
She covered her head in the bed
clothes and shivered and wept until
morning: then with the bright sun
came better thoughts, and she remem-
bered the grand picture that was to go
out into the world-she must save him
or it would not be finished. She would
go along the cliff road at evening and
warn him of his danger. So, alternat-
ing between love and jealousy, she
spent all the day, and when the sun
sank to rest behind the hills she was
on her way over the rocks and up onto
the cliff, where she could hide herself
and watch for his approach.
1t grew dark, and the moon was hid

hair and wool. Some Of the breeas
weigh as much as 200 pounds, and tho
mass of fat formed on the rump va
ries from a tenth to a fifth part OF inc
entire weight. In the neighborhood o!
Caucasus, the hind quarters are saiteo
as hams and sent in large quantities
to the northern part Of Turkey. 1t mas
been supposed by some writer's that
this breed may be the same as tnat
which was bred by the Patriarchs, IN
the DAYS of Abraham and Moses. The
sacred penman mentions that Moses
took the fat and the rump, and all the
fat which was upon the inwards, ana
burned them upon the altar for burnt
Offering. This breed is found IN lts
purest state in the deserts OF Great
Tartary, no other variety being near
to contaminate it's blood. 1t reaches
far into the interior and northern parts
of Russia, and is much disseminated III
China, Persia, Hindostan, Asia Minor
and Eastern Africa as we'll as Thlbet.
In Palestine it is more numerous than
any other breed; indeed the largest
proportion of the sheep of Northern
Asia being of this description. Profess
sor Pallas conjectures that this charac-
ter arises in the fat-rumped sheep from
their feeding upon the bitter and sa-
line plants found upon the borders OF
the Caspian and Black seas. And ne
asserts that when they are removed
from the places where these plants
grow the fatty excrescence becomes
less But Garfield says, as the fat
ruuped and fat-tailed sheep are varie-
ties which are widely dispersed, it
seems more probable that they may
have been produced by accident, and
may also have been perpetuated by
accident, design or fancy. The fat
tailed sheep are very extensively diff
fused; it is found throughout Asia and
great part of Africa, as we'll as
through the northern parts of Europe.
They differ. like other sheep, in the
nature Of their covering. In Madagas-
car, and in some other hot climates,
they are covered with hair; at the Cape
Of Good Hope they are covered with
coarse wool; in the Levant their wool
is extremely fine. The proportion
which the weight of the tail in some
of these sheep bears to the whole car
cass is quite remarkable. The usual
dressed weight Of the sheep is from
fifty to sixty pounds, of which the tail
is said to make more than one-fourth
part Russell describes two breeds Of
fat-tailed sheep about Aleppo; in one
the deposit of caudal fat is moderate;
in the other sort the tail is much larg-
er. The unctuous fat of the tails Of
these sheep is accounted a great deli
cacy alike by the Beers and the Hotten-
tots of Southern Africa. The Hotten-
tots, in their primitive condition, pos
sessed immense flocks and pursued the
pastoral arts with great success.
