The annual report of the Board of State
Charities of Massachusetts, takes up and
discusses in an interesting manner the
best means of teaching pa1perism, vice
and crime. in connection with other
public institutions. Under the head OF
Sanitary Agencies. including food arr
water, drainage and sewerage. the report
places cork as an agency OF vast lmpor-
tance in such Institutions. Exercise, IN
dustry. occupation of body and MINT are
regarded as powerful antdotes to pau
nurism. crime. disease aud insanity. A.
the subject of work in connection with
the tails in this State is one of public IN
terest at this time, the opinion of The
Massachusetts Board bearing upon the
question is of special importance to our
people at this time:


There are special reasons" they say,
"why work should be eXacled OF the in
mates of public institutions.


First When an individual is supported al
the public expense. justice demands that
he shall render an equivalent in work, AS
far rs possible.


Second. The principle Of economy on
the part of the State requires that it
should command the services of its wards
as far as they can possibly render any 1t
should be the duty OF the State. in estab-
fishing public Institutions, to make suita-
BILE provision, in the purchase OF land and
erection of buildings, whereby all per-
sons confined in them, aud supported by
the State, shall work, thus contributing
something towards their sui port. Bat
the pecuniary gain comprises only small
part of the consideration.


Third. Such are the laws of the human
system. that health, and the highest inter
ests of both the body and the mind,
require exercise. The sick and the aged,
who are too feeble or too infirm. are OF
course, exempted. The kind Of exercise
may be varied it may be walking or rid
ing; in ptacticing gymnastics or some
hiUu Ol SppltS VI IL iAitsf " ishh III sDhiN
kind of useful employment. Not only the
highest degree OF health is thus secured,
but the comfort and happiness of the
individual The appetite and digestion
are improved, sleep and rest made more
refreshing. and every faculty of the mind
more composed and eontented.


This law OF exercise is particularly ap
plicable TO the inmates of an institution.
Not only their habits and character are
improved. but the order and discipline OF
the institution are by this means promot-
ed. The contrast between two institu-
tions, one where the inmates q nerally
are put to work. and another where
only small portion find employment
is most striking in the quiet
ness. the good order and healthy express
sion This law of work or employment
should be faithfully applied in all our pub
lie institutions; the more systematically
and thoroughly it is done, not only the
more will it diminish pauperism. crime
and insanity, but improve the condition.
habits and character of their inmate


The conclusions arrived at above agree
with the opinions of those in this State
who have had the best opportunity to in
vestigate this subject, and have given it
the most intelligent consideration. Just
as soon and as far as work can be applied
to our jails. with due regard to economy.
the better it will be for the inmates and
the public also.

One thing to be kept resolutely in view,
that direct pledge should be exacted Of q
candidate to keep his police out of politics

party. 1t is neither fair or justs, that q

It is great mistake girls to suppose
that there is anything attractive in a
fast" or "wild" girl. Men may
laugh aud applaud the romp while in
her society. or perhaps speak of her as
a ''jolly girl" But they are glad their
sisters do not resemble her. 1t is the
first duty of woman to be lady. in
dress. demeanor and manners. Self
possessed, unsbrinking cOarseness is
inexcusable. 1t is shame for women
to be Iectured on their manners. 1t is
a bitter shame that they need. Wo-
men are the umpires of society. It is
they TO whom all mOOted points
should be referred. To DO q lady is


more than to be prince. A lady is
always in her right inalienRble wor-

pleasant alike bow. Do not be re-
strained. Do not have impulses that
need restraint. Do not wish to dance


with the prince unsought feel differ

Eor's inauguration


The following is taken from the
proceedings Of the Senate Of We'd
day, January I'd:


Nr. Smith, Of Nelson, moved that
900 copies Of the inaugural address
Of the Governor he printed for the
use OF the Senate.


Mr., FuIkersou said be had oeen IN
able 20 see anything in the message
that would benefit the public on tie
contrary, he thought it would only
tend 10 confuse the people. It was
merely q speech made to two acres Of
people-mostly Richmond peOp e
aud he thought it would be useless to
print it. He couldn't see from the
message whether the Governor was
for readjustment or for paying the
debt, and he for one wss not willing
TO vote any money to printing the
document.


Mr. Hurt, of Halifax, heartily ap-
proved Of Mr.. Smiths motion. lie
would be willing to amend the motion
so as not TO allow any Of the messages
to be circulated in Richmond, but
have 1t sent all over the State in the
country.


Mr.. Bland hoped the resolution
would pass. he wanted all the peO-
pie in the State TO see it.


Mr.. Phlegsr opposed the motion be-
cause there was nothing official before
the Senate in regard to the matter. -
The Senate had no official information
that Governor Holiday had delivered
any meseage. There was no informa-
tlon in the speech no statistics
nothing of information in il. he
thought that the people should not be
influenced by the mere sentiments oi
Gov Holiday. If Senators wanted
to send the message TO their cOnstitu-
ents let them buy the papers contain
ing the message and send them out.


MFR. Paul agreed with what MIR,
Phlegar had said. He could not re-
gard the paper as one of an official
character. We might as well publish
the famous speech which the present
Chair had the manliness TO make be-
fore he was elected at Wytheville.


Mr.. Hurt (lnterruptingly) Well
sir, I'll be very glad If both are print
ed together,


Mr.. Paul went on to say that neith-
er paper had any official bearing, and
he hoped they would be printed.





Mr. Fulkerson said the Governor
came here on his own accord and in
novated time-honored custom. Who
ever heard of Governor Of Virginia
being inRugurated with the booming
ing Of cannon, parade OF the military
and such fantastic display? ? 1t had
heretofore. been the custom from the
foundation of the Govern ment until
now for the Governor TO come quietly
into Office and then communicate his
views and recommendations to the
General Assembly, He went on to
say Rgain that the speech was not au
official document, and that ii would
be improper TO give it the sanction Oi
the Senate. The demonstration oi
yesterday had been gotten up at the
expense OF somebody. but he didn't
know who. If Richmond wanted tC
have this message sent out TO the
provences let her do SO Of her own OK
pense, as she did the splendid militia
ry display of yesterday. II any sena'
Tor thought the sentiments unworthy
or s senator on this floor let him make
the most Of IL but so far as he was
concerned he he didn't intend to vote
away the public money for such pur-
. pose.

LONDON, March 5.-The MarA
Lame Erpress says: "Peace prospects,
the fairly abundant granary stocks, and
heavy anticipated arrivals, both from
America and Southern Russia, have
combined to reduce the wheat trade to
a lamentable state. The depression
during the past week in activity has
been such that, In the absence of sales,
it has been matter Of some difficulty
to record the fuctuation in prices.
That a withdrawal of the crop which

concession of shilling to two shilings
per quarter has failed to improve the
demand for wheat, which it might
fairly be expected to have done, hear

which the millers have allowed their
stocks to run all over the Kingdom, and
an explanation is -~chablv - ,,,,-,
IN .ae fact that the supplies in prospec-

son offered to have much weight; and
until some definite idea can be formed
OF the amount of wheat this country
may expect from Odessa, NicaloleH,
and other southern Russian ports, the
millers will only buy from hand to
mouth. That the accumulation of
grain in the Black Sea ports is large
cannot be doubted for one moment.

the inland growers to store as best they

planes for keeping grain in good con-

There is a considerable body of hon.
est and earnest Republican Senators
aud members who from the first have
wanted to support President Hayes.
For one reason and another their nun
ber has been decreasing until the
country sees the condition of affairs
indicated by the treatment of the veto.
AS is natural, the extreme of this con-
dition is here in WASHINGTON, nut
.spor.u from friends from various sec.
tons of the country concur in repre-
senting falling away from the Admin
istration on the part of those who have
held on most stroDs ly, and the Presi-
dent is fast becoming man without a
party. These things are as they
ought not to be. The President is
honest and earnest, a man of strong
will and good impulses. His Repub-
licanism is unquestioned, in spite of all
the njust asperslons of those attempt
ing to break him down by false rep
reservations. There is nothing in
common between the President and
the Democracy. He has the good of
the Republican party at heart, and not
on y desires its success, but there is no
man in the country whose personal in
terest lc It's success is greater than his.
With such an Executive Republican
members Of Congress should be In full
working accord; and the President
should see to it, also that there is ac


cord with the majority of Republicans.
The President seems 10 have lacked
appreciation OF the tremendous contro +.
versy he took upon himself to enforce
the reforms promised in the letter of
acceptance and the inaugural Instead
Of thinking it vital to success to rally
the people and the best elements in
Congress to his support, and so move
ON old abuses with a great party at his
back, he has neither appealed strongly
to the people by acts, nor gathered a
party In Congress that would always
be ready to stoutly defend and cordial
ly support him. Beyond question
both of these things could have been
effected by a strong administration.
Whether the ground lost can be recov-
cred is question to which both sides
should direct serious attention. The
President cannot make his administra-
tion even moderately successful with
out party. On the other hand, Re.
publicans in Congress, or Republicans
out of it, cannot overthrow the Presi-
dent without destroying their party,
unless they can assign other reasons
for thrusting the President aside than
any now known Cincinnati Gazette.

WASHINGTON, March Cit is the
expectation of the President that the
principal and interest of the public
debt will continue, for some time at
least, to be paid in gold, and before
silver dollars enough can be obtained
to make them available for the pay
ment Of interest on the bonds and the
principal of those taken up, they will,
if the hopes of the silver men are real
lied, be equal as gold. The Secretary
of the Treasury will not offer to pay
part of the interest in silver and part in
gold; and as be will have in the Treas
ury vaults at any time but small part
of the dollars coined, and as the law
does not allow him to pay interest in
greenbacks it is obvious that his course
will be to use the greenbacks he accu-
mulates for the purpose of buying gold
to pay interest. He has now about
enough gold on hand to pay a years
interest, and he must this for that pur-
pose because he cannot get silver dol
lars, even if he preferred them. He
can expect to accumulate but compa.
ratively small amount of silver dollars
in place of the gold paid out during the
first year, as the whole coinage of the
dollars during this period will amount
to only s45,0OO,000. Much the larger
part of his boarding or accumulation
for the payment of interest must,
therefore, be in greenbacks, if customs
receipts shall be, as is generally sup
posed, in silver, and these greenbacks
being useless to pay interest, must be
turned into gold. It is the intention
Of the Secretary to have the new dol
lars fairly scattered over the country
so far as he can control it, and it will
be difficult for some time to gathe,
them up for customs in sufficient quan.
titles to entirely supplant gold.

The southern portion of Wiscon-
sin was visited recently by one of the
most terrific and destructive tornadoes
ever known in the West. The day had
been oppressively still and warm, and
during the passage of the tornado across
the State there was no wind blowing ex-
cept that whirling around the storm
center. The actual width of the track
of the tornado was small, being from q
few yards to two or three hundred, but
its cycloidal motion from north to south
WAS nearly six miles, and tho cycles
were completed in about every six miles
of forward motion. From this it will be
seen that the tornado must have moved
over the country at rate of speed of
more than one hundred miles an hour,
in addition to its revolving motion, which
was doubtless far greater. The tornado
was in the form of an inverted cone of
gigantic size, with it's point resting on
the ground, although this was not al
ways true; fortunately for those in the
course of the monster, very much OF the
time the cone point was raised above the
earth from one hundred to one thousand
feet. In this manner it passed over
several miles at a time and thus were
many farmers spared from ruin. In
these instances the country over which
the tornado passed was treated to a
frightful shower of wood splinters,
branches of trees and dead animals.
Whether on the earth or suspended
hundreds of feet above, this whirling
cone held in it's embrace countless mil
lions of fragments of buildings, trees,
straw, hay, cattle, sheep and swine, thus
afording its observers view terribly
grand. Numerous stumps of trees we're
left in the track Of the tornado with all
the bark peeled off. Two oak posts
eight feet long, sunk six feet in the
ground to support the uprights Of a
windmill over a well, and upon which
posts the wind could have nograsp except
upon the two feet above the earth, were
lifted out and carried away without dis
turbing the surrounding earth. Trees
were lifted up and carried mile with
tons OF earth adhering to the masss Of
roots. Horses, cattle, sheep and swine
seemed to float as lightly in the air as
the leaves OF the forest. The loss Of
human life is about fifty. More than
one hundred persons were more or less
injured, and the loss Of property is very
great. -f. II
