Wasli-

in^on^QO^es^pndent says: I sometimes think, after a visit to a penitentiary, that we have succeeded in catcnin£ and caging the more harmless ol our criminals the weak and improvident alone are detected, but the cola, cautious, •alculating scoundrel goes unpunished. If you will look close^ lv into the countenances ®t a rogues gallery—one made up oi detected knaves—you will find a singular exbibition of weakness in the expression. But come with mo to this other ro°iies' gallery, called the lobby 01, lor that, to the hoof of the Senate or House—and note the faces of the more successful—the men who have stolen their thousands—and see their clear-cut, intellectual countenances. These are the larger and more dangerous rogues, and they have not only escaped conviction, but they aie honored among men. They move iu the best society, and their wives aiul daughters are sought alter and admired. 1 feel that am a litilo liaid on the penitentiary inmates when 1 classify them in the same sort.

Some verv interesting statistics have lately been published concerning the working classes in the liniteu States. From these we learn that the average life of our mechanics is estimated at forty-six. and a half years In this climate the everage number ot working days aycar is 250,leaving six-ty-three days (outside of Sunday) for private business and demands ot both recreation and sickness. The average annual expenses,of a.mechanic ip our cities, including board and clothing, is about §300. Estimating the

compensation of such a J^bor-,

erat three dollars per day, he would earn in the 250 days 750. From this deduct his board and clothing,and lie

The Yale College "Rushes."

An-Eastern paper says: "The annual' period for those familiar encounters between 'tjic. Sopho.more and Freshmeii "SfaSseW bf 'Tale College, known, lis •'rushes,1' has arrived. The modu-s operandi

consists in each class

o-ettinf together in the street, locking arms four° abreast, rushing at each other and struggling fiercely to break each the opposing line. During the melee

numbers get thrown down into the mud, have their paper collcus ripped off and, their clothes toriu That man is considered the hero ot his class who manages to steal the oTcatest number of caps or hats from the members of Uic other class. One of these encounters took place a lew nio-hts ago, about 11 o'clock, and continued until some ol the faculty appeared, wncn the street was instantly cleared. The Lrcshman class this

being larger than ever before, proved themselves the lions of the occasion, much to the disgust of the valiant sophomores."

Origin of Illnstrioiw Men.

Cardinal Woolsey was the son of a poor butcher. Joseph Hall, Bishop of Norwich, was the son ota farmer.

Virgil was the son of a porter. Horace was the son of a shop keeper.

Dr. Thos. Bishop, of Worcester, was the son of a linen draper. Whitfield was the son of an innkeeper at Gloucester.

Bishop Prideus worked in the kitchen at Exeter College, Oxford. Shakspeare was the son of a stabler.

A skAK in Berkshire, Mass., had company to dine one day when all were seated at the table, his little son deliberately folded his hands, and with a solemn face asked a blessing. When he had finished,the little fellow looked around the table and innocently said: "Father does this when no body is here."

Alexander the great, seeing Diog-

ones

looking attentively at a parcel of human bones asked the philosopher what he was looking for. "That whioh I cannot find," was the reply "the difference between your father's bones and those of his slaves."

A woman in. one of the census districts on Long Island gave to the enumerator the names of twenty of her children, and then she believed there were two or three moio, but she couldn't just then remember their names.

Rich women, however ugly, can have no difficulty in getting married, if they will paint themselves and look as if they wouldn't live long.

A Machine was needed possessing SIMI'MCITY and DTTKABILITY, and adapted to a ureat range of work one esvsily understood and cornprchnnded by all. To produce such a Machinc has been the study of Elias Howe Jr., who gavi! to the world the First Sewing Ma'ehino,'more tlnm twenty years ago and now we ofl'er his last production, a inachino embracing all essential qualities, and pronounced the Best Machine in the World.

Persons from a distance can order a Machine with perfect conlideuce of being able to operate it in a few hours successfully, by the aid of the printed instructions that accompany each Machine. Drafts or current funds must accompany the order. Machines mav be- erdered by Express, also,to collect on delivery, if the purchaser prefers. We advise shipping by express, as the most convenient and expeditious way. ., ... ,,

The demand for this V','New and Improved Machine Is unprecedented in the history of Scwin. M.ichines.

In all the principal towns where Agencies are not already'cstablishcd, we desire energetic and responsible parties as Agents. •Many t)laces:are of sufficient importance to warrant persons in making it their exclusive business. y&ft
