The Legislatuie cf Penns; lya-
nia Las appoiBted a commitiee to
investigate (he subject of convict
labor and to report as to the best
way to employ that labor without
injary to legitimate industry.
The State of North Carolina
comes nearer doing this now than
any State we know of, and her
example has been foliowed by
two or three other Southe.n
States. North Carclina works the
bulk of ber convicts on farms
leased by the State, some she
hires to ralroad companies which
employ them jn grading, ete, ou
new roads, and under the law)
sume counties employ short term
convicts in grading the county
roads. The number kept withi«a
the penitentiary is comparatively
small, mostiy women aud men
who are not physically able to
perform heavy manual labor.
Working them on State farms
does interfere, perhaps, with the
larmivg industry in the neigh-
borhogd of the farms, but nut
euoigh to be of watertal imper-
cance, for the amount of stulf they
put upou the market does nut
affect prices ; but tho way to eui"
ploy convicts to get permanent,
benefit from their labor is to put:
them to road building, not ip
little squady here and there, but,
in pumbers suffisiont to be ew-
ployed economically aud systeui-
atically. A thousand conyicts so
employed continuously weuld in
a few years give roads that would
benefit in numerous Ways, add
immensely to the value of prop-
erty, aud thus increase the States
revenue from taxes." Wilmington

It te Fairly Abiaee With Diamonds ané
Other Precious Jewels,
The: imperial crown of Great Brit-
ain, according to the official de-
scription, conrists of diamonds,
pearls, rntics, sapphires and emer-
alds, set in silver and gold. It has a
crimson velvet cap with erimine
border and is lined with white silk.
Its gross weight is 39 ounces 5 pen-
nyweights troy. The lower part of
the band above the ermine border
consists of a row of 129 pearls and
the upper part of the band of a row
~of 112 pearls, between which, in |
the front of the crown, is a large
sapphire, partly drilled, purchased
for the crown by his. majesty King
George IV. At-the back is a sapphire
of smaller sizo and 6 other sap-
phires, 3 on each side, between
which are 8 emeralds. Above and
below the 7 sapphires are 14 dia-
monds and around the 8 emeralds
128 diamonds. Between the emer-
alds and sapphires are 16 trefoil or.
naments, containing 160 diamonds.
Above the band are § sapphires,
surmounted by 8 diamonds, between
~which are 8 festoons consisting of
148 diamonds. Inthe front of the
crown and in the center of a dia-
mond Maltese cross is the famous
ruby said to have been given Hd-
ward, prince of Wales, the Black
Prinee, by Don Pedro, king of Cas-_
tile, after the battle of Najara, atear |
Victoria, A. D. 1867. This ruby
was worn in the helmet of Henry V
at the battle of Agincourt, A. D.
1415. It is pierced quite through,
after the eastern custom, the upper
part of the pier cing being filled up
by a small ruby. Around this ruby,
to form the cross, are 75 brilliant
diamonds.
Three other Maltese crossés, form-
ing the two sides and back of the
crown, have emerald centers, and
contain, respectively, 182, 124 and
136 brilliant diamonds. Between the
\four Maltese crosses are four orna-
ments in the form of Freneh.flower-
de-luce, with four rubies..in their
centers and surrounded by rose
diamonds, containing respectively
84, 86, 86 and 87 rose diamonds.
From the Kaltese crosses issue four
imperial urches, composed of oak |T
leaves and acorns, the leaves con-
taining 728 rose, table and bril
liant diamonds, 32 pearls forming
the acorns, set in cups containing 5-4
rose diamonds and a table diamond
~The total number of diamonds in
the arches and acorns is 108 bril.
liant, 116 table and 559 rose dia-
monds. ITrom the upper part of the
arches are suspended four large
pendant poar shaped pearls, with
rose diamond cups containing 12
| rose diamonds and stems contain-
ing 24 very small rose diamonds.
Above the arch stands the mound,
containing in the lower hemisphere
304 brilliants and .in the upper 244
brilliants, the zone and arc being
compos sed of 33 rose diamonds. The
cross on the summit hes a rose cut
sapphire in the center, eurrounded:
by 4 large brilliants and 108 smaller
ones. The value of this beautiful
ornament has been estimated by
Barbot, the French jeweler, at the
stun of $500,000, which, however, is
probably very far below its real
value. "St. Louis Globe- Democrat

Archdeacon Sinclair, in his ~~Lead-
ers of Thought,� ete., tells a good
story of an Eton head master, known
as Flogging Keate. Finding one
inorning a row of boys in his study,
he began, as usual, to flog them. They
were too terrified at the awful little
man to remonstrate till he had gone
half way down the row, when one
plucked up courage to falter out,
~Please, sir, we're not up for pun-
ishment " we're a_ confirmation

Keate. ~I must be fair all around,

ClamsT Eggs.
The clamTs eggs are carried by the
mother on her gills. When there
are fish in the water with them, the
mother clams discharge the eggs,
which soon hatch, but if there are
no fish they carry the eggs. until
~they decay. The reason of this
strange behavior is this: When the
eggs are set free in the water, they
soon hatch, and the little ones swim
about until they find some fish to
which to attach themselves. They
live for a time on the mucus of the
fish and then drop off, sink to the
bottom and. form burrows for them-
selves. This curious semiparasitic |
life is no doubt a reversion, to the
habit of some ancient ancestor."
