This outnumbers by twenty-seven all tho cotton factories in New England outside of Massachusetts, and exceods by sixteen tho nninbor in that State. Chableston, (S. C.) News and Cou rier: The system of hiring out convicts is a blot upon tho civilization of the South, whether tho prisoners ore pen nod up in a coal mine, digging lip phos phate rock or in building railroads. It is cmel, inhuman and murderous, It should bo abolished, and the sooner the better. Selma (Ala.) Times: To narrow- gauge railroads this State must look for tho dompletest developements of its re sources. We havn't got' the capital to build broad gauges for feeders for local convenience, but we can and must send narrow-gauges out into every section where it will pay. > MAjob C. K.

For tho six months ended August 15, 100 persons were killed and 401 injured on railroads in tho State of Now York. The failure of the Edinuuds low to de stroy tho evil power of Mormqnism in Utah has revived the proposed plan of governing that Territory by a Congress ional commission. Gov. Murray is un derstood to favor the plan as the one most likely to weaken and evontnally kill the baleful system of wholesale pros titution which is practiced there under the cloak of a so-called relisrion.

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.

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 vant!.” Tlioro is also found this, elo quent item: "Lord, remember tho souls of Thy servants, the Novgnrodisnsy - 1,505 in nniulicr I " Tho Temple put to , death the Boyards not only mill their * families and sorvauts ( but also with tlieir ‘ cnUlo and tho fishes m their lakes I No doubt the Czar surpassed tho Kalin. Howovor, Ivan feared for his own ‘life, ami ho (uirrespoiulod with ElisabMh, (Jueon of England, on (ho subject of an asylum for himself in ousn of need. His character was a strange mixture of gran deur and barbarity. Ho was a cruel innnino with lueid intervals, wlion lio was a genius. Ono dny ho was a despot, tho noxt day lio listened to tiip counsel of tho pooifle's representatives. One day ho Bwnm in human blood, and another day ho turned his dreadful oprichniki- into ipenku himself noting nu (lu-ir mini- brethren, a Bo,yard remarked that tho Czar wns humiliating himself too much. “Keep your mouth shut, hrutol” roared tho tcrriblo prior. "I can hu miliate m.isolf ns much os I like, before whom I please.” Once in his rage ho struck his beloved soli with his iron stick mid killed him ou the spot. It wns under the Tcrriblo that Ermnk, with bin valiant comrades, con quered tho Siberian ezarilom. Tho free dom lovirfg Cossneks never dreamed that they had furnished the Cznrs with a 1 o riblo prison for tho sons and daughters of history. 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."
