Nor w is this without Teason; for this quiot old man was no other than John Dryden. tho gr'-itost pojt whom En gland had produced for a whole goneiv. t ion.

Tho papers were handed over to Dry den. who had hardly taken timo to 'glance over them when he pronounced that tho best was that written by Lord Dorset. All tho other competitors looked surprised, as well they might but tho wonder ceased when tho contri butious wore examined, and Dorset's affusion was found to run thus : "Pay to John Dryden, on demand, the Sum of One Hundred Guineas.

Mother C-ooso wan not a mythical person, nor a noni do plume, but r real live woman, who, although she may nol liavo had so many children that alio didn't know what to do, and was not compelled to livo in a shoe nevertheless had children, grand children, and (probably) great grand children of her own before she died at tho auvancoil ago ol nmoiy-t,wo. uer maiden uttino was Elizabath Foster; she was born in tho year lCGu, was married to Isaac Gooso (or Vorgooae as it is written in the description of hor con tained in the probato of her will) in Kill;!, and died in !7o7. The first edition of tho songs, which sho Bang to hor grandchildren, was published by Thomas Fleot, in 17(51. Tlioro is an edition of her works published by Houghton, Osgood & Co., of Uoston well worth perus il by nil mothers who would liko to know about tho good old lady who wroto tho lullabys and molo die.) which aro now sung and will con tiuue, doubtless, to bo sung for ages yet to como. Mother Gooso resided in Charleston, where she was born, until her mar riage. She then moved to lloston, where her husband had a homo ready to reoolvo her on what is now Wash ington street. Sho was Mr. (loose's second wife, and began hor maternal life as step-mother to ton children This numerous fact was probable tho cause of hor writing tho touching melody of "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe," especially as we learn that sho afterward had six chil dren of her own. Ono of hor own children became tho wife of Thomas Fleet, tho publisher of tho "Melodies by Mother Goose," and when Mother Gooso's first grandchild was born she insisted on going to livo with hor son in-law as nurso to his son. She sang hor ditties to this grandchild from morning till night "CJoosIc, koosIo Banilor. Wfteru ilo you wondor? Up-stalrs unci down stralrs. And in my lady's chamber," etc. until hor son-in-law become alarmed at the fertility of her gonius for mak ing this kind of rhyme. Mr. Fleet took down the various songs she sung until ho had a book full, which ho printed. This book had a great sale, and, it is needless to say, has increased In popu larity until this dnv, so that there Is scarcely a child In tho land that does not know Mother Gooso by name and her iuelodie.1 by heart.

TIow Ttimtin CrtinlntiN Arc Transported to Sc-sliullfii lulnml. The Itussian convict transport Nishtil Xovgorod sails hence this evening with IGO criminal deportes for the island of Soghalien. Tho Nizhni-Xov-gorod is an iron steamship of about 3.800 tons burden, nnd is especially fitted as a convict transport. With a full complement of convicts tho vessel carries Gal'. The oflleers and crew number eighty, exclusive of a marino convoy escort of sixt.y-two men specially chosen for thi3 drty. Tho irou-barrod compartment, or cages in which the convicts are con fined run parallel, foro und aft, on either side tho upper and lower 't con docks. Tho irou hnrn, an inch thick, of these cages and the woodwork in which they are sot, are heavily and solidly constructed. The cages are of unequal capacity and length, but have a uniform height of seven and a half feet. The more desperate characters aro manacled and chained to iron staple.? in their berths, from which they aro released when necessary. The greater number, although retaining tho waist and ankle shackles, of light construction, have the freedom of traversing the length of tho compart ment, which may vary from twenty five to forty feot. Uotween tho outer bars and tho two plain plank shelves or bunks running from end to end of the compartments which atTord sleep ing room for the occupants, thero is a freo spaco of about four and a half or livo feet. Except during tho distribution of ra tions no culinarv vessels aro left with the convicts. Even tho drinking water is obtained only through an india rub bor inouth-picce fixed in an enclosed water tank and through which tho drinker sucks his draught. Immedi ately outsido the cages and attached to the under part of tho deck overhead is a steam-pipo connected with tho ship's boilers. Into these jiipoj are fitted screw nozzles at intervals of twelve feot. Tho object of tho steam-pipo is to suppress any dangerous outbreak among tho inmates of tho cage. By means of a short hose, specially made to resist tho steam heat, quickly at tached to ono of tho steam-pipo noz zles, the turbulent convicts aro readily quieted or parboiled. Strong water jets havo been found next to useless in allaying these occasional tumults. After tho ship has passed tho canal, but not boforc, batches of convicts are in turn brought upon dock for a shower- bath and short exercise. A strongly constructed iron railing, eight feot high, crosses tho vessel amidships, in order that tho convict, during his bath and while unmanaclcd, can not by any sudden rush, evade the guard and reach tho quarter-deck. Somo of tho nioro desperate convicts, who stubbornly ro- sist all disciplinary control, aro con lined to tho cages during tho whole voy age. Both the upper and lower 'tweon decks are open and airy, tho system of ventilation being excellent, und tho cages themselves aro kept scrupuously clean. Tho cages aro repainted every voyage. Every convict, in addition to having his hair cropped short, has tho left half of tho head from front to back closely shaven. Among the IGO convicts carried by. the Nizhni-Novgorod about 100 aro murderers. Ono of theso is a rolatlvo of tho Shah of I'crsia Prince Khnna- lam-Mirza, son of Prince Botman Mirza, twenty-five years of age, and sontonccd to twenty years' hard labor, for tho murder of his brother in Itussin. Upon tho greater number of these murderers, in addition to their various terms of hard labor in the mines and quarries, will bo inflicted on their arrival agivon numbsr of blows from tho knout, vary ing from 50 to 125, according to thoir crimes. Tho scono on board theso doparting convict ships is altogether saddonlng and depressing, perhaps the more so that ono doe3 not hoar a murmur or lament from the stolid looking and broken-spirited wretches crowded be hind tho bars of these cages, which re mind tho spectator only too forcibly of the wild beast dens wo aro accustomed to sco in a traveling menagerie. Fe male convicts of this class aro trans ported in a separate vessel. Odessa Cor. London News. Wash-Board Statistics. A traveling agent of ono of the largest wash-board factories In the. United States gavo a roportor tho fol lowing interesting statistics and infor mation. He said that millions of wash-boards aro mado and sold In the United States every year, and at least 7,200,000 aro sold yearly between tho lIcghony mountains and Missouri river. There is ono factory which turns out over a million, nnd at least two factories which mako 700,000 and 800,000 a year. Tlioro aro at least twenty varieties of wmh-boards, and tho host are mado In the West. Tho Eastern factories mako their wash boards out of pine. Hard wood is un doubtedly tho best. Pino is soft, and white pine is too expensive. The poorer kinds can bo bought as low as 80 coats a dozou wholcsalo; these aro single wash-boards for family use Tho bettor kinds cost $2.25 por dozon wholesale, and doublo washboards that is that have zinc edges on both sides coot much more, retailing at 50 cents apiece for the best. Laundry sizes of this description cost much more.

With a start, ho nwoko from Ids musings over tho past and hastily began to search for somo proof of the woman's identity. Aa ho opened tho locket ho staggered backward in amazement. In ono siilo was tho faeo of an old gray-bearded man, a face ho never could forgot. In tho other, bent and worn, a small tin-typo of a young lad of eighteen or nineteen.

Hidden in tho folds of hor robo, tightly pressed to her bosom, was sowed a roll of MS. Blurred though it was by tho sca wutor, ho could yet read it.

As Her ven would havo it, tho wind changed nnd ho saw the boat nbout a quar ter of a mllo southeast of tho island, drift ing back; but, evidently, so that it would pans by, and not touch the 3horo. rived, ia ho jumped aud swnm slowly and heavily out towards it, snaking but poor progress, Indeed, with his brokeu arm and tirccl muscles.

Little by littlo the distance was les sened, but so was his strcagth, for he wns barely ablo to pull himsolf up ovor tho stern, lato which ho fell headlong, breathless and chlllci iii mush aud through to tho very marrow, stiff and benvmbed with tho cold, hi.? head aching as If it would burst.

Tho second was intended for Mr. .Iiimoa Qcdron Ncbbitt, and ran ns follows: " Please, without fail, cablo mo at once, whero 1 can meet you when I arrive, City of Homo, also telegraph Oxford placo and. timo of meeting. Bo ready to sail at once. Let every thing olso go. Business of. tho utmost Imparlance.' Tho third to his friend Oxford was this: " Look for telegram from Ncbbitt. Drop ovorv thing, and bold yourself iu readiness, to act at onco." Just as it was leaving, ho caught tho 4:30 p. m. boat to Mount Desert Ferry, whero ho took tho night express to Boston. Next morning, at 0:30, ho was in that city and, by;i:30 that same afternoon, grasped his brother Dana's hand in tho Urnnd Central depot at New Y.ork. Whou tho clock struck six, Dana had resigned forever oun ot tho beat business positions ever hold by a young Now York clerk, and tho two brothers wcro pacing tho decks of tha City of Homo, which, in a fow hours, was far at sea.
