the Belgian government is displeased

The Penitentiary Nuisance.
We agree with the Raleigh Chroni
cle, that the State Penitentiary is a
nuisance to good people and burden
some to tax payers. The whipping
post is far belter than a Penitentiary,
where thieves and scoundrels are fed
and fattened. From the Raleigh
Chronicle of the 21st inst. we copy as

-Of SI,-
88(i,090.0-l. Think of it! Nearly
two million dollars! But this calcula
tion does not include a dollar received
for the work of convicts, and a con
siderable sun htis been derived from
that source.
Our very mercy has degenerated in
to such mawkish and puling sentimen
tality, that we have no longer the
nerve to put down revolting wicked
ness hj the infliction of pain. Every
whining tramp, every loafing drunkard
who is too Avorthless to do an y thing, is
not made to have a dread of the Pen
itentiary, and the consequence is it is
full of them. They are too lazy to
work, and after becoming "naturaliz
ed,11 so to speak, jn the new world to
which they are sent, they essay to take
control of the penitentiary, keep sharp
knives in their possessipn, sass back at
the guards, and have immunity from
restraint and punishmetnt.
The spectacle was witnessed a few
days ago of abont sixty negro scoun
drels refusing to obey the officers of
the Penitentiary and defying the whole
force for a space of about 24 hours.
Tbe officers didn't want tq. hurt them
and pleaded with them and prayed for
them. Thirty minutes was long enough
to give prisoners to obey orders; after
that a drenching in cold water and a
fire from trusty rifles would have put
an end to such in subordination. It is
a bad state of affairs when convicts
make demands and officers even listen
to them. -Perfect discipline alone will
"hand the wretch in order1 There
-are too many men in the Penitentiary:
they are not made to work faithfully,
and it is almost impossible to make
their labor profitable. .Therefore, we
intend to go out of the! business, and
offer all stock and fixture for sale.
Wl o will b::y?
Tho Penitentiary is a legacy left to
us by the dead "and corrupt Radic.il
party. It ought properly to have been
sold by its admihistrom de bonis non in
1870. but the Democrats have been
compelled to hold it in order to furnish
a place of abode for so many of the ad
herents of the Republican party who,
baginuing their speculations from the
public purse in 1808, have kept them
up from private hen roosts and hog
pens ever since.
The times are two hard to longer
furnish a place for these thieves and
we have decided to make the:r backs
smart for their petit larceny, and make
them keep at work or starve. The
Bible rule is the right rule: "If a man
will not work neither shall he eat."
We have, in our "puling sentimentali
ty" fed these fellows long enough to
the hurt of many an "exceedingly
honest, poor tnnn,' and we are deter
mined to sell out all our goods lock
stock and barrel. .
As certain as fate, unless the Peni
tentiary is made self-supporting, or
nearly so, the above is the spirit of a
notice that the tax-papers of the State
j will serve upon their representatives-in
the Legislature in 1881). Mark the pre
diction." MACAROKI MAKING.
Something Abont the Italian National
Dish.
HOW THE TUBULAR AND RIBBON MACA
RONI IS MADE IN TnE LARGEST
FACTORY IN AMERICA ITS
QUEER SHAPES.
"You give me chalk for cheese," is an
old Italion saw that was evidently never
I intended to lie applied to macaroni.
You might fool an Italian on chalk,
j but if there is one thing above another
! upon which your average Neapolitan or
Genoese prides himself it is his know!
,.j .a-l; 1 j:..l u 1 ..,
you that macaroni is worthy of its
name.
i There is only drio big establishment
in Philadelphia where macaroni is
I made, and that is located at Eighth and
Christian streets. There are several
1 small places where the paste is made by
hand, and many Italian families pre
pare their own.
j "How is it made?"
I The first tiling necessary is to mix
and knead the dough. For this pur
pose a large wooden bowl or trough is
required, the size of which is six feet
in diameter and over one foot in;depth.
In this a millstone revolves, weighing
over 3,000 pounds. About 200 pounds
of Hour is emptied into the bowl, and
enough water added to make a thick
dough.
this 13 spread around the in-
side oi tne bowl. lhe machinery is
then Pu in motion, and the heavy
stone wheel begins to revolve upon the
! flour a,ld water, which have been plac-
ed in such a way that the weight and
motion of the wheel are continually
pressing, rolling and kneading it.
From the roller the dough goes to
the presser. This is an iron machine,
cylindrical in form about two feet in
height and one and a half feet in diam
eter, which is placed in a perpendicular
position.
The lid of the presser, which is of
solid iron and tits exactly inside of the
cylinder, is connected with a large steel
screw of immense iower.
The bottom of the presser is a cop
per plate one and a half inches in
thickness, and is perforated with small
holes..
About one hundred pounds of the
dough are put into the press. The
lid is them fitted on and the machinery
started. The immmense power of the
screw is now seen, as it gradually
forces the lid toward the bottom. The
effect of this pressure upon the dough
serves to force it through the holes in
the bottom, from which it emerges in
tube-like form. The holes in the cop
per plate are filled in the center, so
that the dough can only be forced
through arouhd the edges, and in that
Wiiy the niaearoni is made hollow.
When tha larger varieties of maca
roni are to be cut into different sizes,
quantities of it are spread upon a heavy
slab and an attendant who is an ex
pert in the work, proceeds to cut the
stock as required. The knife used has
a blade twenty inches in length. The
handle is held firmly in the right hand,
while the left hand is used as a lever.
So precise is the work that the pieces
cut seldom vary the sixteenth of an
inch.
In cutting the smaller kinds and the
fancy paste, a presser, plac d horizon
tally, is used, and an attachment, con
sisting of several short knives worked
by steam, cuts the goods as required, as
they emerge.
After coming from the presses the
macaronics placed upon wooden trays
and conveyed to the drying room.
It is then spread n;m wooden
frames, four feet wide and eight feet
long. Across the bottoms of the
frames a network of heavy twine is
made, ami upon this is spread thick
brown paptr The macaroni is put
on top of the paper, and tlje frame is
placed upon a large rack th reach
from floor to ceiling.
As great quantities of these goods
are consumed their manufacture fur
nishes, a distinct braud of trade, which
gives employment to many people. In
Philadelphia their are several of these
1 manufactories, the one here described
being the largest in this country, and I
one of the best in the world. In this '
place alon from three to five thousand
pounds of Mock are made m single
day, and ready sale is found for- the
entire lot, part of which is shipped to
California and even to the Sandwich
Islands. Philadelphia Herald.
Three Wrong1 Guesses.
Frederick Smith, who lived in Ran
dolph couuty, N. C, during the war of
the Revolution, had a difficult part to
plaY. He was indifferent to the King's
claims, and he cared little for the cause
of the colonies. If the people wished
to be patriots and fight the British
troops, Smith was willing, provided he
was not disturbed in his log cabin,
which was filled with "olive plants" in
the form of little Smiths.
Smith, being a quiet man, with little
shrewdness, and no convirtons, was
willing to side with those in whose
compauy he found himself, whether
Whig or Tory. But his plastic nature
was the occasion of several difficulties.
Small parties of Whigs would assume
the costume or badges of Tories, and go
about the country picking up reticent l

tney asKed tne usual question, w nom ,
are you for?
Smith answered, "I am for the King,
God bless him!"
"Are you?" replied the leader; "then
we'll hang you!" and in a minute or
two Smith was dangling from the limb
of a tree.
As they did not desire to push mat
ters too far, they cut him down and let
him go, with the warning to change
his politics. Not long after, a party of
lories, disguised as Vv bigs, ranging in
the neighborhood, asked him again,
"Whom are you for?"
1 ni tor the Colonies and lndepcnd-
ence!" exclaimed Smith.
"Hang the rebel up!"'
exclaimed the
leader.
Smith went up, hung as long as he
could without suffocateing, was lowered
to the ground, and dismissed with the
mimiotimi to phoip nut tnr Kino-
George, or he would eertainly hang un
til dead next time.
The months passed and the war was
almost finished, when Smith was sud
denly surprised by a party of armed
men.
"Whom are you for?'1 shouted the'
leader.
Poor Smith was in a fix. He had an
swered that question twice before, and i
each time the answer choked him. A j
happy thought struck him.
"I'm for the devil,1 said he with a
chuckle. j
"Are you ! Then the sooner we send !
you to your master the better I'1 replied
the leader.

Ten Things a Baby Can Do.
It can beat any alarm clock ever in-
vented
waking
a family
up
in tin
morning.
Give it a fair showing and it can
smash more dishes than the most in
dustrious servant girl in the country.
It can fall down oftener and with
less provocation than the most expert
tumbler in the circus ring.
It can make more genuine
fuss over
a simple brass pin than
its mother
would over a broken back.
It can choke itself black in the face
with greater ease than the most ac
complished wretch that ever was exe
cuted. It can keep a family in constant tur
moil from morning till night and night
till morning, without once varying its
tune.
It can be relied upon to sleep peace
fully all day when its father is down
town and cry persistently at night
when he is particularly sleepy.
It may be tne naughtiest, dirtiest,
ugliest, most fretful baby in all the
world, but you can never make its
mother believe it, and you had better
not try.
It can be a charming and model in
fant when no one is around, but when
visitors are present it can exhibit more
bad temper than both of its parents !
together. It can brighten up a house J
better than all the furniture ever made; j
make sweeter music than the finest or- ;
chestra ever organized; fill a larger j
place in its parent's breast than j
they knew they had, and when it goes :
away it can cause a greater vacancy j
and leave a irreater blank than all the
rest of the world put together.

Nothing in the city new-papers fbr
weeks has attracted so much attention
and comment anionu the ladies' as tho
controversy between Jtfiss Selene and
Miss Loula Bell. In the American of the
17th inst. Miss Selene had a most inter
esting article, in which she sought, to
prove thiit the city. girls make the best
wives, and that the impression about the
domestic tendencies of the rural maidens
is all moonshine. Mis BeB, M
American of yesterday, took op tho
cudgels, and controverted Miss Selene in
a very frank and .vigorous way. Being a
country girl herself, it is unnecessary to
say that she defended her sisters with
all the resources of her well-developed
rhetoric. "7tfoji
It is not always well for a third party
to venture between Amt. disputants,
especially when the disputants are ladies;
but in a matter of this kind the u nest ion
. of wives men ouht certain ! v to ban al
lowed a say. If they are not, it is fair to
presume that most of them will remain
bachelors The masculine view of t his
controversy, then, is that Miss Selene
and Miss Bell are both right and both
wroug. Miss Selene is right when she
says that excellent wives can be found
the city, and Miss Bell is right when she
says that excellent wives can be found in
the country. They are wrong in think
ing that city or country has anything to
do with the ease. True womanhood is
always superior to mere locality. It hi
the girl, and not where she lives, that ia
the main concern and object of the young
man's attention and affections. The
whole female sex is lovable, and whether
she dwells in a city mansion or a rural
cottage, in tbe valley or on the plain, by
the sad sea waves or on the mountain top,
the American girl is the same adorable,
matchless creature, w ho can love and Tie
loved, and who can fill the home with
that domestic bliss which Milton decla)iU
was "the only happiness that survived
the fall."'
But, after all, the real milk in this very
interesting coeoauut is the fact that these
ladies look upon marriage in a serious
and sensible way. While they differ
about locality, they botlr recognize andV
indirectly impress the importance of
matrimony as a practical problem of UfeV
This is as it should be. If young ladies
and young men would give. more thought
to this subject, weigh its responsibilities,
its requirements, its blessings, and min
gle more common sense with their in
fatuations, the happiness of the world
would he very largely increased. Blti
