rShe Seats a Child in Her Care on a. Hot Stove. A Detrmt dcspatch says : A case of inhumanity shocking almost to a. dignc of incredibility, was brought to the notice of Humane Agent Vhay to-day. The Victim \is a 2-year-old child of Frederick Riemcr, who lives at 185 Pierce street, and keeps a fish stall at the Crntrul market, and the brutal act, according to the family. was perpetrated by a. Servant, Marie Krakow, 3 girl of about 20 years, and she wont into the service of the Ricmers about five months ago. She was at times petulant with the Riemcr children, particularly the baby, and to make the child keep quiet the would sometimee say she would kick it into the street, or put it into a. tub of water, Mrs. Riemer had cautioned her not to talk that way. One week ago today Mrs. Riemer went down town, and the baby was left in the care of her mother, a. feeble old lady, and of Marie. The little one was inclined to cry and Marie held it in her arms. The old lady was in a bcd~mom when she heard the baby screaming in the kitchen. She hurried out to see what the trouble was, and was horrified to see the child on top of the hot range. The little one’s clothes hm‘l been raised and it was sitting over the roaring fire. Marie picked up the child the moment the old lady entered, and a. few minutea later, realizing,y What she had done, she left the house, going home and telling, her mother. The child, though terribly burned, will recover. The girl will probably be prosecuted. Mr. Luek at first regal-(led the whole thing as a joke. But remembcring that such an organ had been taken from the Mitre square victim, he took the box to the London Hospital. Dr. Openahuw examined the inclosnre, and said that it certainly came from a fullflrown woman, and had been divided longitudinally. The box and the letter were taken to Scotland Yard, and the detectives are trying to find out in what postal district the parcel was handed in for mail. The handwriting of the letter in the box bore no resemblance to the handwrit- ing of the letters of “ Jack the Ripper,” found some weeks ago. In 1856 John Dudley, of Minneapolis, bought a. tract of land near that cicy for $3,200. ~A few days ago he sold it for $200,000. A Victory for Evolution. Af‘olumbin. 8.0., despstoh says: The Rev. James Woodrow, while professor of natural science in the Columbia. Theoiogicml Seminary, contended that the supposition of the evolution of mun was consistent with the Bible. For this he was removed. The Charleston Presbytery last week passed a resolution prohibiting any one Within the Church from criticising the decision of the General Assembly, which condemned Dr. Woodrow's teachings. The State Synod, now in session at Greenwood, has adopted resolutions condemning the notion of the Charleston Presbytery, which the Synod says, “ imposes a. restraint upon the right of freedom in the expression of opinion which is unwarranted by law.” The Synod directs the Charleston Presbytery to correct its proceedings. These resolutions were adopted by a vote of {)0 to 53, a. victory for the evolution element, which has been gaining ground for two years. Several members of the Charleston Presbytery declare that they Will not obey the Synod’s command. and it is probable that the matter will be taken before the General Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church. The kitchen is the living room in a wellâ€" to-do farm house. i have walked into these frequently, and generally found the mothers putting the finishng touches to the pot when preparing a. meal ; and I could never tell which were the daughters of the house and which the servants. By the way, the latter are not ashamed of their calling, and when I have asked a. pretty one if she were the daughter she says : “ Oh,nein, I am a servant.” Many of the women in the mountains and upper valleys are very comelyâ€"not beauties, but ruddy. rosy, plump and healthy specimens of femininity. If I should write verses I would not write them to “ the girl with the raven locks " nor to “ the red-haired girl," but just now would write a sonnet to “ the sweet girl of the tow head." The women do their full share of the work of the land, but we have found the heavy labor is done by the men. The women reap and bind grain and rake and mow hayâ€"Correspondent of the Chicago Mail. The Alleged ‘Vllitechapel Fiend Distribut- ing Pieces ofhis Victims. A London cable says : rl‘he mass of ab- surd theories, false clues and unlimited arrests of the wrong men, which have almost turned the pursuit of the White- chapel murderer into a. burlesque, were relieved last night by a. genuine sensation. Mr. George Lusk, 8. builder, is the head of a \Vhitechapel Vigilance Committee. Late on Tuesday night the parcel post delivery left a. box at his house. Upon opening it he discovered a meaty substance which smelt very strong, and which he judged to be the half of a. kidney belonging to some animal. Inclosed in the box was the folâ€" lowing letter : “ Ivsend you half of the kidne I took from one of the women. I preserved it for you. T’other piece I fried and ate. It was very nice. I may send you the bloody knit that took it out if you only wate a whil longer.” The ministers expelled are : G. W. Mcâ€" Donald, of Sussex ; \Vm. Kingllorn, Nashâ€" Waaksie, York county; 13.

It is probable that the Holi- ness people will form a new conference and be joined by some of that faith in the Methodist Church and one or éwo who have left the close communion Bayt-ists’ Convention.

A St. John, N.B., despatch says: The Free Baptist Conference now in session at Blissville, Sunbury county, closed a pain. ful controversy which had disturbed the denomination for five years. Several preachers in the conference have adopted the belief known as the Holiness doctrine, and have propagated it in their congregat- tions. The lsst Elders’ Conference made a deliverance on the subject and this declara- tion came up yesterday before the present conference. The deliverance sets forth that for some years differences of belief and teaching existed on the question of “ instantaneous entire sanctificstion as a second blessing” that the doctrine has been declered by various conferences of the Church to be contrary to the standards of the denomination, and has brought great harm to the churches ; that the conference after a. long effort to bring about unity had become smisfied that reconciliation was impossible ; that harmony on such im- portant points is essential, and that at present a number of preachers still dissent from the belief of the conference. The elders therefore resolved that : In the spirit of brotherly kindness, to do the only thing that seems possible zmd declare that the confermlce can no longer hold fellow- ship as ministers with htmhrcu who preach €1.10 doctrine of untiru instantaneous santitlcm 1011. AN IN HUHIAN NURSE GIRL. A VILLAIN OK A FOUL. The Rosy Girls of Norway. THE HOLINESS DOCTRINE. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Prince Consort and the Royal children, visited Scotland for the first time and tarried a long time on her way at Balmoral. On the trip the yacht, in which the party travelled by water, called at Aberdeen, and, of course, the loyal inhabitants of that city turned out in large numbers to do honor to their beloved sovereign. Aguard of honor, consisting of the merchants of the place, was formed, and, in all the glory of black broadcloth and white kids, paraded on the edge of the dock to which the vessel was moored at just sufficient. distance to prevent people from stopping on board. Seats were erected on the bank, tier above tier, like those of a circus, to accommodate the thousands that assembled :to gaze on the spectacle of an anointed Queen. Her Majesty good-naturedly remained on deck to gratify as much as possible the curiosity of the bonny Scots and promen- aded about in full view of the immense crowd. The Prince of Wales, a child of about 5 or 6 years, was with her. Among other things placed on the deck for the ‘ accommodation of the Queen was a costly and very splendid sofa, ornamented with tassols; and the Prince, like other boys of that age, being of a destructive turn, began to pull at one in a manner that threatened to detach it. His mother observed the act and ordered him to desist. He did so, but as soon as her back was turned seized the tassel again to give another jerk. The Queen appeared to have expected some- thing ot the kind, for she was at that moment Watchng him from the corner of her eye. In an instant she turned, and, seizing the luckless heir-apparent of Eng- land by the “ scruff of the neck," elevated one of her feet upon the sofa, hoisted the youngster over her knee, adjusted him in the position mutually familiar to parents and children generally when such cere- monies are to be performed, and gave him a sound spanking. It may be proper to mention, en passant, for the information of youths who sometimes find themselves similarly circumstanced, that the illustri- ous sufferer kicked and bellowed under the aillictive dispensation quite as lustily as the boys of lowlier birth are wont to do. The amazement with which the spectators witnessed the example of royal domestic discipline may be imagined, but scarcely described in fitting terms. A dead silence prevailed for a moment, but was suddenly broken by a tremendous roar of laughter, which could not be suppressed by any thought of decorum, respect for the Queen, or sympathy for the victim of her dis- pleasure. The explosion recalled the royal mother to a sense of her position, and hav- ing turned toward the crowd for a moment, her face suffused with crimson, she hastily descended into the cabin, and was seen no more by the expectant populaceâ€"Aberdeen Paper, 1511.

There is truth in the remark that a bag, if empty, hangs loosely by its string, but the more there is put in it the closer is the mouth drawn and the harder is it to get anything out. So, often, as men have more means to give, it is more difficult to obtain money from them.â€"Ohrislian 1n- quirer.

Officer Vanous, who patrols the district west of the Union Pacific shops, is an ex- pert catcher. Yesterday afternoon, while pacing up Chicago street, near Twelfth, his attention was called to a volume of smoke pouring out of the upper window of 1,217, and he started for the nearest signal box. As he was passing the building he saw something white come out of the second story window, and instinctively put out his hands to catch it. He succeeded. It was a little 2 months old baby.

A“ Battle of Flowers” Makes a Very Lively Carnival Time at Blackpool. The summer resort town of Blackpool, England, recently had a novel fete, called a ” battle otflowers.” devised by the Mayor and carried out under his superintendence. A mass of flowers weighing eight or nine tons, including dahlias, Chrysanthemums, marigo‘ds, marguerites. sunflowers, asters, gladioli, ferns, laurel and myrtle, were dis- tributed free among the owners of licensed carriages. Owners of private carriages were also invited to take part in the festival, and many did so. There were 150 carriages in the parade when it started. The houses along the principal streets were decorated with flowers and evergreens, many of the devices being unusually large and fine. Great crowds came from all the country round and by special trains from the cities to see the carnival. The Mayor’s carriage was first in the line, covered with pink and white asters and ferns. His four daughters, each with a party of friends, occupied the four followâ€" ing carriages, and beamed from among perfect beware of flowers and ferns. All of the carriages were similarly decorated. The drivers all were white coats and straw hats, which had been presented to them by the Mayor. Several bands of music accom- panied the procession. At a given point the carriages drew up and the occupants began to pelt each other with small bouquets, a large stock of which had been loaded into each vehicle. All the way back over the route this new war of the roses continued, and the people along the streets joined in heartily, pelting those in the car- riages with the blossoms and being pelted in turn. The fun was furious for two hours, and generally good humored, although some of the gentlemen in the carâ€" riages became indignant at what they thought was undue vigor on the part of; those along the street. They were merely ‘ laughed at, however, and peltedâ€"New York ‘ Sun. The large plaster centre-piece fell in the East End Methodist Church, Kingston, during the service on Sunday evening.

Texas has within her borders a beast ‘ into whose narrow skull fear never enters. It is a peccaryâ€"the Havilinah of the Mexicans, the chotyles Torquatus of mo Iogists. Bravery is a notable attribute of man, and it was discovered in birds, beasts and fishes. I don’t claim the quality for the brute I am about to descrloe, says a correspondent of the Detroit Free Press. I believe bravery cannot be said to exist in senses devoid of fear. I conceive that an appreciation of danger is a necessary menstrum to the nobler courage. It is not the man of dogged indifference I admire '; it is the man who refuses to fly when duty bids him stand and though he fear death, fears dishonor more. Now, the peccary has no particle of fear on account of any show of odds, and appears to live only for the purpose of madly dying when opportu- nity offers. The game cock fights with heroic valor, but one sees in his swimming eyes when gaffed and bleeding in the pit glances of regret and nameless fear. The pachyderm of the Texas forest dies in “ a i matter of course” manner, as if he was meant to end that way and was glad of it. He looks up in the tree where the man sits , who shot him (few men of experience ever shoot them from any other standpoint) and anon he holds up his cloven foot and glances at it. If the peccary regrets any» thing in the hour of dissolution it is that he was not made like a squirrel to climb. Texas and Pacific and Fort Worth and Denver city locomotive engineers often encounter droves of peccaries, as I sup- pose do all engineers who operate on the Western Texas railroads. No whistle is sounded to frighten them. The engineers know that peccaries cannot be frightened. The engine rushes into the midst of the drove, and those not killed outright die madly charging and biting at the wheels that crush them. A peccary is in all respects a hog. He looks, smells, tastes like a hogAâ€"and is a hog, but for a thing of indomitable courage of the lower type, for a hater of quenchless fury, and a fighter to the last throb of his heart, commend me to the fierce Diootyles Torquatus, the indi» genous Texas hog, a brute that would, if he could, while riding in the midst of a cyclone, bite at the zig-zag flashes of the death-dealing lightning.

Between the brisk young words”: who sign, dawn upon the breakfast table neatly and completely dressed in 10 minutes after her eyelids have opened to the light of a new day, and the leisurely damsel who requires 45 minutes or an hour for the same opera- tion, there is a. whole gamut of feminine variations. The close observer of these varying types of fair dressers finds each possessed of interest. There is the honest, candid girl, who confesses that it takes her an hour to assume the raiment of the day and to do full justice to the mysteries of the dressing bureau and the bath. She takes her hour and no one expects better things. There is the girl’s oppositeâ€"yet counterpartâ€"in the equally truthful young woman who says she can make ready for breakfast or the walk in ten minutes, and who does so in nine cases out of ten. Then comes the host of erratic ones. The girl who will be “ ready in a minute,” only to keep up expectancy on the part of the wait- ing one twenty times one minute. There is the fair one whose voice cheerin rings out a statement that she has only her bon- net to put on, or a bow to pin, who apparently devotes more time to that simple operation than to the varied operations of appareling. The art of getting into one’s daily habiliments with rapidity, and yet with neatness, is possessed by the minority of Eve’s daughters only. Yet this trait of rapidity in dressing should be of honest acquisition, and through heredity, for of a surety Eve was not given to spending much time at her toilet, and yet her fair descend- ants do not inherit their remote ancestor’s traits. Here is an extract from a. London letter in the Cleveland Leader : London is a. great centre, to which much of the female beauty of the world gravitates. A morning on Rotten Row at “ beauties’ hour,” between breakfast and luncheon, when the sun shines brightly and society is sauntcring up and down the bridle road which extends from Apsley House to Kensington Gardens, is a sight as well worth seeing before disso- lution as the Bay of Naples. At first the eye is almost dazzled by the brilliancy of the complexions and the costumes. Here, for instance, trips along a. dream of love- liness in a fawn-colored gown, with a pro- fusion of frills of creamy lace, and such pink cheeks! Another beauty of the purest English type wears one of the prettiest of dresses of a. yellowish tint like honeysuckle, with bows on either shoulder. Her black, open-worked stockings and low shoes and long, black gloves contrast delightfully with the rest of the costume. These dark ” fix- ings,” even extending to black silk under- garments, are, I am told, lg dernier cri, or the pink of perfection, a. bit of Parisian slang. Half the pleasure of having the hair washed and groomed is to have some one do it who knows how. In England, in the large stores, there is a department of hair dressing where an accomplished barber, with every convenience for showering and drying, will wash the hair of ladies for one shilling. In this country a good shampoo cost from 50c. to Slâ€"which is a. large sum for so simple an operation. After combing the snarls from the hair, braid it loosely and bind the end with a small elastic band. Draw tepid water in a. boson and first wash the scalp thoroughly with castile soap ; then let the braid fall in the wafer, soap it and wash asif clothes. Afierwardthoronghly rinse and wring the braivi in a towel. \Nipe the head dry, undo the braid anti brush out, beginning at the lower end, when it will not tangle. Let the heir loose in the sun and air and it will fli‘y in less than half an hour. Awomsn’s hair should be washed at least monthly if kept fine and healthy.â€" Ncw York It'vc7u'7lg Sun.

The spoon he eats it with and the bowl he eats out of are chained to the table. Nothing is left lying around loose in that style of restau- rant. Two kinds of soup constitute the Aentire bill-ui-fal‘e for the penny sOup-nouse‘. For a halfpenny there is always a hot roasted potato ready on the sidewalk. These potato-roasting ovens are trundled about on wheels, and are built to resemble a small locomotive. They are known as “ Murphy Busters." Another style of street kitchen deals in kidney and eel pies, smoking hot and two- pence each. The “ ham and beef shops ” are ready with their cooked wares at noonâ€"corned-beef at twopenoe, for the lowest amount weighed out ; and for a ha’penny each a paper cone filled with freshly-boiled potatoes or tur- nips. “ Winks,” a species of salt~ water snail, are boiled in quantities and sold on the streets. The fried-fish kitchens about 10 at night are filled with people, plate in hand, waiting for the well- browned sole from the great frying vats at fourpence the plate, with a generous quan- tity of fried potatoes added for a ha’penny. Sixpence buys the supper for a small family, and twopence more pays for the inevitable pint of porter. The 10 o’clock supper is the Englishman’s most enjoyable meal, and twenty odd millions of people over there eat it and do not suffer so much from indigestion as we do. It looks odd at first. though, when you make a call, to see at 10 o’clock the table spread as if for din- ner and the roast beef hot from the oven brought on.~New York Star. Dr.J., late of Aberdeen, was a man of pawky humor, and one of the most in- veterate “ beggars” for charitable purposes who ever got up a subscription list. He called one mornng on a wealthy merchant in Aberdeen Whom he had successfully oun- vsssed on more than one occasion, and, having recounted the misfortunes of a Widow whose husband had been killed by a fall from the cliff, asked for a. cheque on her behalf. “ Well, doctor,”snid the merchant, “ I’ll give you the sum you ask for on one condition, namely; that you’ll allow me to inscribe on your tombstone t‘ g Words, ‘And it came to pass that the beggar died."d “ Willingly,” replied the doctor, with a laugh, “but you must add the rest of the verse; ‘And was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom.”’â€"â€"â€"Journal. A Family That Completely Eclipses That of the Hovers at Adolphustown. An Adolphustown correspondent gives a remarkable case of longevity in connection with the U. E. Loyalist family of Hover, of that township. A gentleman favors us with another case even more remarkable. The persons referred to below are also of U. E. Loyalist stock, being descendants of the late Lewis and Miriam Davis, Sidney, who lived about two miles from the city of Belleville. Five of their children still sur- vive, viz.: Cornelius Davis, born April 5th, 1800; John Davis, February 9th, 1802 ; Mrs. Dorland Olapp, January 10th, 1806; Mrs. Hester Morden, January 10th, 1808; and James Davis, December the 14th, 1810. The age of Cornelius Davis is, therefore, 88 years, 5 months and 22 days; John Davis, 86 years, 7 months, 19 days; Mrs. Dorland Clapp, 82 years, 8 months, 18 days; Mrs. Hester Morden, 80 years, Smonths, 18 days; and James Davis, '78 years, 9 months, 14 days. Their total age amount to 417 years, 4 months, giving an average of 83 years, 5 months and 18 days. Cornelius Davis lives in the front of Sidney, two miles from Bellerille; John Davis in the 2nd concession of Thurlow; Mrs. Dorland Clapp, in the 4th concession of Thurlow; Mrs. Hester Morden has lived in Belleville all her life until very lately, but now lives with her sonâ€"in-law, Mr. Thomas Dickens, of Nap- anee. She is at present visiting her son, Mr. George Morden. in Deseronto, and is hale and active. James Davis resides in the State of Iowa. It is, indeed, very sel- dom that we find so many members of one family reaching such an advanced age.â€" Descronto Tribune. ‘ needle-showers on the second-rate streets. Their business is to clothe the pets and let society go on and whirl. The tailors have i to live! Don’t we know it? But haven’t the darlings to live also and to keep society alive, too; and is the whole social struc- ture to go down in ruin just because a lot of pestilent tailors insult the finest gentle- men in the land by insisting that they must descend to the vulgar practice of pay- ing for their own clothes?

Then there was ice-cream to be supplied to a colony of fair admirers, and picnics to organize that you couldn’t get on credit, you know, like you could your clothes, and betting to do on the races and baseball and lacrosse and the other games, and all this that had to be settled for in beastly cash, and still the presumptuous tailors expect the pretty ones te pay for their clothes ! It’s downright stupid, you know. The vulgar tradesmen ought to be proud to make clothes for the fine young gentlemen and ask no questions. If this sort of things goes on the beastly practice of paying for things may become common, and actually these fine fellows will have to put into clothes, just simple clothes for wearing, the money that belongs to the clubs and opera and balls and parties and the other events that are never com- plete without the pretty young gentlemen. Their Treatment of Pretty Young Gentle- lneu Devoid of Cash. (“ Observer " in Toronto Globe] I hear some serious complaints against the tailors. It seems that several of the prettiest young gentlemen of the commu- nity actually have been refused credit by paltry, common tailors on Queen and Yonge streets. What are they to do? They must have new suite. Is not the winter almost on us, with balls and parties and operas that cannot go on except these pretty young gentlemen are present? Is society to suffer for the contumacy ofthese wretched tailors ? Are our sweetest young gentlemen to go with threadbare garments for the want of a. little vulgar cash? Wasn’t it enough that these drawing-room lilacs should descend to the indignity of patronizing a tailor off King street, Where, to be sure, their credit was exhausted?

The harem of the youthful Emperor of China is growing, and he will soon be as much married as any Eastern potentate could desire. According to 5 Shanghai native paper, no less than 136 Pekin carts were to be seen outside a. gate of the Nanhni Pel- ace on the morning of the 9th of July, each containing a. candidate for the Emperor’s harem from Mandarin families of the Mon- ohu, Mongol and Chinese banner population. The Empress held a fresh inspection on that day, and selected for the youthful Emperor of lei-pin half a. dozen and of the lower rank of hung-nu a. score of damsels. One hundred and ten of the fair ones (if yellow-skinned and blackvhaired demoia- elles can be so termed) had to return dis- appointed to their homes.~â€"~LondonFigaro. The Ottawa. Literary and Scientific Society yesterday presented the Governor- General with an address and secured his consent to act as patron of the society. Aside from the scant rations he brings the Yularo’s food consists mainly of wild hogs, or such other animals as he may be able to kill, eked out by tortillas, and, as an occasional luxury, a dish of red beans stewed in fat. Monkeys are consideredthe choicest of morccaum, particularly the large red species, which are ashighly relished by the hunters as are raccoons by Southern darkies, or Thanksgiving turkeys by New Englanders. Indeed, in many parts of Spanish-America monkey meat is eaten by both natives and foreigners, Whose gas- tronomic tastes are harder to please than those of the hungry Yularees. I can myself testify to the fact that a well-broiled slice of young apeâ€"though a trifle tough and strongâ€"is not more unpalatable than bear steak or buffalo meat, which it greatly re- sembles. If one could overcome the canni- balistic ideas engendered by Darwinian nonsense, and not feel as if feeding upon black baby, monkey flesh would be de- cidedly preferable to pork as an article of diet.--Philadelphia Rccord's Costa Rica Letter.

Female convicts of this class are trans- ported in a separate vessel.â€"London Daily News. Among the 460 convicts carried by the Nizhni-Novgorod, about 160 are murderers. One of these is a relative of the Shah of PersianPrince Khanalam-Mirza, son of Prince Betman Mirza, 25 years of age, and sentenced to twenty years’ hard labor for the murder of his brother in Russia. Upon the greater number of these murderers, in addition to their various terms of hard labor in the mines and quarries, will be inflicted on their arrival a given number of blows from the knout, varying from 50 to 125. according to their crimea. After the ship has passed the canal, but not before, batches of convicts are in turn brought upon deck for a shower-bath and short exercise. A strongly constructed iron railing, eight feet high, crosses the vessel amidships, in order that the convict, during his bath, and while unmanacled, cannot by any sudden rush evade the guard and reach the quarter deck. Some of the more desperate convicts who stubbornly resist all disciplinary con- trol, are confined to the cages during the Whole voyage. Both the upper and lower ’tween decks are open and airy, the system of ventilation is excellent, and the cages themselves are kept scrupulously clean. The cages are repainted every voy- age. Every convict, in addition to having his hair cropped short, has the left half of the head from front to back closely shaven. Except during the distribution of rations no culinary vessels are left with the con- victs. Even the drinking water is obtained only through an india-rubber mouthpiece fixed in an inclosed water-tank, and through which the drinker sucks his draught. Immediately outside the cages and attached to the underpart of the deck overhead is a steam pipe connected with the ship’s boilers. Into these pipes are fitted screw nozzles at intervals of twelve feet. The object of the steam pipe is to suppress any dangerous outbreak among the inmates of the cage. By means of a short hose, specially made to resist the steam heat, quickly attached to one of the steam-pipe nozzles, the turbulent convicts are readily quieted or parboiled. Strong water jets have been found next to useless in allaying these occasional tumults. The Russian convict transport Nizhni- Novgorod, sails from here (Odessa) this evening with 460 criminal deportes for the penal island of Saghalien. The Nizhni- Novgorod is an iron steamship of about 3,800 tons burden, and is specially fitted as a convict transport. With a full comple- ment of convicts the vessel carries 652. The officers and crew number 80, exclu- sive of a marine convoy escort of 62 men, specially chosen for this duty. The iron- barred compartments, or cages, in which the convicts are confined, run parallel, fore and aft, on either side the upper and lower ’tween decks. The iron bars, an inch thick, of these cages and the woodwork in which they are set, are heavily and solidly constructed. The cages are of unequal capacity and length, but have auniform height of seven and a-half feet. The more desperate characters are manacled and chained to iron staples in their berths, from Which they are released when neces- sary. The greater number, although re- taining the waist and ankle shackles, of light construction, have the freedom of traversing the length of the compartment, which may vary from twenty-five to forty feet. Between the outer bars and the two plain plank shelves or bunks running from end to end of the compartment, which affords sleeping room for the occupants, there is a free space of about four and a- half or five feet.
