Thread Two hundred and thirty-seven students of Yale College paid a visit to the Willi mantic Linen Company on Wednesday, and by a personal inspection were conviu- i ced that Professor Sumner has lileled the mills in Lis description of what he called ' "the tariff built fraud:" They saw in one the mills, where 33,000 spindles were in motion, spinning cotton thread, literally' embowered in flowers, there being a space at the base of each window laid out in flower beds, the humidity of the atmos phere required for the thread being ob tained by sprays of water, which also serve to make the flowers flourish. The com pany has a capital of five millions invest ed, producing half that amount of manu factured goods every year. The people employed live in cottages built by the com pany which are models of cleanliness and beauty, and they have reading-rooms, library and a dancing pavillion for their amusement. There are sixteen h'indred persons employed, the girls averaging from $6 to $8.50 per week, and the men's wages, all through the mill, average $14. 50 per week. One rule observed is that no one can be employed who cannot read and write, and this is an incentive to tbe children to improve, as the height of their ambition is to be admitted among the mill-hands. The cottages occupied by the hands are supplied with water and tots, and every year & prize is offered for w " the-bandsomest door-yard, so that the display of flowers is remarkable. The gardener employed by the company in structs the cottagers in the eare of the plants and supplies them with cuttings The students were treated to a lunch, and the girls pinned to their coats a memento of their viit in the shape of a paper box containing a spool of cotton, as a speci men of tbe produce of "the tariff-built fraud." FA.CETI.aE. "What are you doing T" said a father to his son, who was tinkering with an old watch. Improving my time, bir," was the reply. "Why is a lawyer like a restless sleep- erf "lie lies nrst on one side and then on the other." "Ah, my friend," said a clergyman to a parishioner who was the husband of a termagant, and who made application for a divorce, "we should be yielding and forgiving. There are no divorces iu heaven." "That's the reason," said the sufferer, "why I am so anxious to get a divorce here." An advertisement in the New York Sun says, "An errand boy wanted ; only a live boy need apply." It is well to be explicit in matters of this kind. There is nothing more heartless than to advertise for boys indiscriminately, and have per haps twenty or thirty dead ones apply for the position, only to be disappointed. Rochester Post-Express.
