This outnumbers by twenty-seven all
tho cotton factories in New England
outside of Massachusetts, and exceods

Chableston, (S. C.) News and Cou
rier: The system of hiring out convicts
is a blot upon tho civilization of the

is cmel, inhuman and murderous, It
should bo abolished, and the sooner the

gauge railroads this State must look for

In an Interesting article on tho vole or
water-rat, by Mr. Grant Allen, in the
English Country Gentleman, tho writer
discusses the question why certain ani
mals, such as snakes, water-rats, etc.,
are not found in Ireland. . For the real
solution of the problem, ho says, we
mnst go back to the time when England,
Ireland and the Continent were united
by a broad belt of land across tho beds
of the English Channel, St. George’s
Channel and the North Sea. It is now
an ascertained fact that in the very latest
geological period, known ns the glacial
epoch, the whole surface of the British
Islands (exoept an insignifioant strip of
the sonth coast) was covered from end
to end with a deep coating of glaciers,
like that which now envelops all polar
lands, and while this condition of things
prevailed there were, of course, no ani
mals of any sort in all Britain, or, at any
rate, none hut a few Arctic types. After
the ice melted, however, the existing
British fauna, such as it is, began to
occupy the land, and the fact that it did
so is one proof, thongh by no means the
only proof, that a communication with
the Continent then existed across the
bed of the North Sea. Now. the animals
only pushed their way slowly into the
newly cleared region as the ice melted
away, and the consequence is that only
some forty kinds of mammals out of the
whole European fauna had penetrated
as far as England before the gradual
submergence of tho lowland belt sepa
rated it from the Continent by forming
the inclosing arms of the sea.
But Ireland lies further west than
England, and there is reason to believe
that St. Ueorge’B Channel had all been
flooded some time before the waves of
the Atlantic broke down the last link
lietween Dover and Calais. Accordingly,
Iceland has never got her fair shore of
animals at all, for though the wolf and
the fox and the Irish hare and many
other quickly migrating oreaturcs had
time to cross the intervening belt
before the submergence, several smaller
or slower creatures, including the vipers,
did not get over the ground fast enough
and were thus shut out forever from the
Isle of Saints. Among them were the
whole race of voles, and that is the
reason why Ireland to this day has no
water-rats.
PERVERSITY OF PARTNERS.
DT WILTON BURTON.
"How you oomln’ on dezednys, Marso
Jimmie?"
"Pretty well, Uncle Toby."
"Looks like you got a powerful siggt
o' stuff in dis yer sto."
"Well, yes; we have a large stook of
goods—more Chon we shall over sell, l'*r>
afraid"
The sneakers were a merchant and his
fonner slave. The latter hod walked lie
the book part of tho store, nnd,*with the
air of one that feels himself a privileged
charnoter, had taken a seat unbidden itu
the beat chair by the fire.
The appearance of tho store justified
the oomment. In one oonter, by tiie
fireplace, was an island of bacon sur
rounded by • miniature sea of briuo; in
the other, a group of syrup-casks, one of
which reetednarizontaily on two billets of
wood, and ahed ita contents, drop by
drop, through a leaky faucet into a tin
can. Between the fireplace and tho ends
of the two oountera, that ran lengthwise
of the room, waa a tangled mnzo of
flour-barrels, sugar hogsheads, and
cracker-boxes, threaded by a uarr pv
footpath that led to tho door. The
counters were piled high with' “donfjfit
ties,” gayly-oolored calico and ready
made clothing, so that there was jfc»•
toaniiSff *«Sito? d.
pocket cutlery, and pinchbeck •jewol’ty.
The shelves were filled to their utmost
capacity, and tip above the cornico the
spiders had woven a net of cobwebs over
a long arrav of dusty crockery and wood-
enware. Truly, there was a "powerful
sight o’ stnfl” in tho store.
For some time Unole Toby sat silently
smoking a clay pipe. Presently tho fire
made him drowsy, and he fell to nodding.
This psBtime might havo continued in
definitely had not his pipe fallen from
Ills lips to the hearth. The orash
aroused him, and ho resumed the conver
sation;
“Seem tike to me I ain’t novor been
see no hotter fire to roas’ a tatcr in dan
what dis yer fire is, ef I des had do
tater."
“There are some in that barrel— help
yourself."
“Tlianky, salt.”
And Uncle Toby buried a potato in
(lie ashes and pnt two or three others in
his pockets for hiswife, "Martliy Ann,”
he said.
“Yon ain’t got no pardner in yer, is
yoiif Marse Jimmie?”
" Yes; Mr. Humpliery owns a half in
terest.”
The negro gmnted disapprovingly.
"Mr. Bumpless mighty clover man.

IVAJI THE TERRIBLE.
Ivon tho Terrible was an embodiment
both.of tho Byzantine autocrat and tho
Tartar Kahn. Tho title of Great Prince
was too insignificant for him, and so he
called himself tho Czar, by which title
the Russians used to address only the
Khans. Ivan became ruler when only
throo yoais old. On reaching his thir
teenth yenr, ho ordered that Prlnoo
Shuisky, tho head of the temporary Gov
ernment, he thrown to hnutiug dogs,
which loro him to pioocs. That WHS Sin
first independent net as a ruler, end the
RusBiiuiH realized that their little crown
bearer had become a real mastor. Ho
established tho oprichniki, the gen- 1
darmos of to-day. From their saddle*
hung dog's heads and brooms, which
signified that they wore always nrtffy ti»
out off blip bonds of tho Czar's enemies
and to swoon treuson from tho faco of
Russia, Tims autoerntio terror was es
tablished. Tho Bed l’rince buforn thu
Kremlin was kept literally red with hu
man blood (luring tho reign of tho Tum
ble, which lusted fully half a century. -
What tortures did ho not try? What
ways'of putting to doath dfd ho not
practice? But then lie was pious; too.
Ho ordered the pri sis of the convent of ,
St. Kyrilo to pray for tho repose of the
souls of Iuh uu'u victims. In Ills list, or
synodic, tlioro aro found'd,470 names,
many of which were accompanied with
these suggestive words, “and family”
nr “and sons” or “ mid family and ser

Of Interest to Depositors,
J. W. Smith, a depositor in the Brook
lyn Savings Bank, recently recovered
jndgmont for $1,050 against that institu
tion, most of which amount had been
paid to his brother, who had presented
plaintiff's bank book. Appeal was tnkon
by dofeudnut to tho General Term of the
Brooklyn City Court. Thnt tribunal re
versed the decision of the Court below
and granted tho bank a new trial. The
General Term holds that nil sums with
drawn from a bank and properly entered
in the depositor’s book must ho consid
ered valid returns from tho bank to the
depositor, though care and discretion
must be exercised by the authorities.
In commenting on tho above tho New
York llerald says: “This is rather a
sturtling decision. If it is a correct in
terpretation of the law, then tho law
countenances exceedingly loose methods
on the part of these institutions in deal
ing with the money intrusted to their
keeping. Tho Court qualified its deci
sion by saying that the bank must exer
cise care and discretion. But this quali
fication amounts to tittle, if any person
by merely presenting n depositor’s book
can draw money which doeB not belong
to him, and tho defrauded depositor is
left without recourse against the bank."

Tho semi-eoiiteiininl celebration in Bur

very spirited occasion. It wns in com
memoration of tho treaty with tho Hno
and Fox Indians, which went into offect
on Juno 1, 1833, and which gavo over
most of tho present Stato of Iowa to tho
occupation of whito mon. The State has
good reason for congratulation. Fifty
years ago it was iu tho possession of the
savages. Tldrf.y six years ago it had
only juHt been admitted to thu Union as
a State, tilth a population of somo
116,000. l'o-duy it lias a population of
1,000,000, and of a singular excellent
character, sober, intelligent, energetic,
mid prosperous. During lior brief career
ns a State, Iowa lias furnished to the na
tional Government somo of tho ablest
men that have taken part iu it. Seven
ty-five thousand of her pcoplo fought in
the national nrmios,’ of whom moro than
12,000 gavo their lives to tho country.

who testified at the trials of the Phorajx
Park murdorers have boon notified that
they must indicate tho places out of the

Onrey in reply protested that ho would
remain in Dublin, but tho authorities
pointed out to him that ho would reciove
no police protection and that on no con
dition would ho bo allowed to remain in
Ireland. Countless warnings were given
Cnrey thnt he would be killed ns soqn as
he wns set nt large, nud it was supposed
by everybody that ho would fly in dis

the time of his release that ho would con
tinue to live iu Dublin, and then pro
ceeded to deal harshly with men who
owed him money. Carey protests
against being driven out of Dublin, not
by tlio Invinoibles, whom ho says he
does not fear in tho least, but by the
Government ho has served. The assur
