folded up his contribution alnnst b

" Xou SL'3 nor,', gontloni'j;'.." said a
laughing voice, "why Charlie proposed

MOTHER GOOSE'S AGE.

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. She was left a
widow In 1710. Chicago Mail.

A HORRIBLE CRAFT.
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

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. Iho first wash-boards woro
miulo entirely of wood, and our wnah-
women used to pound the dirt out of
clothes with a stick, by laying thorn Tin

of alno worn put upon tho market

MILLIONS Oil KOTUINO!
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.
Tho first was tho Greek merchant of Tan
giors; tho second, himself, tho college
eophomoro of cloven years ago. Ho remem
bered fishing it out of his sea-chest nnd giv
ing it to Haydeo juqt beforo ho snllcd.
And was this Haydeo I His child pupil,
Uaydee? Como from far Tangicrs on that
burning Morocco shore! Cast up by tho
Bca, horo on theso rugged, rock-bound
coasts? Tho woman Haydeo, como thus to
recall to hi3 conscience-smitten soul tho
recollection of hia broken promises, uftcr
thoso many years had passed
Horror-struck at his unpardonablo nog
cct, ho bent over her and murmured:
"O, Haydeo 1 my littlo Haydeo I And I
forgot you so."
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. Closoly, yot
neatly written, its English was tcrso and
clear.
Tho pupil had well profited by her master's
instructions.
"At lust" so began tho MS. "wo aro
steaming within sight of Ids nutivo land nnd
Heaven soon will put an cud to all my long,
long weary years of waiting.
"I know not what unseen power Impels

what fills my terrified soul with vaguo fore
boding. But I like not tho lowering looks
of thoso bad men, and, whoa that villain,
Matteo, bonds upon mo his ovil oyo, my
heart flutters liko a frightened bird, und I
grow sick and faint.
"I sco their many, secret, low-muttoring

No sooner had I stepped upon hor dcclcs

through which Fai-fax had been passing;
and when he finished reading thcoo words
1I I ' 'a1

it t.c- -.ion in liim that ho would 1o-t bin
reason. Putting hit hands to his bf.uk he
hatercd like o')o who has received a dc.Uh-b!-w.
A blinding mist camo beforo his eyes
and a lui-ribic, ringing, Bound filled his
ears. One straw's weight more, and ho
would havo gono, stark, staring mad -like
t'ui.o n or croaturoA whom he once saw in
thoir iron-barred cells, gnawing and biting
at their chains and shrieking out in their
fivuy.
Was it a hideous dream I Was ho really
mad i
Tho most audncious flight of tho wildest
imagination could not have equaled this
step of ouo brief moment from worse than
utter iwverty to posoiblo millions. Who
over saw or know or heard or dreamed of
such a thing!
Suddenly hia eye fell upon tho dead Hay
deo at his feet -how gloriously beautiful
sho looked now I his little sweetheart,
Haydeo, whom tho sea had cast up to him
with her heart and her wealth, all his l
His frenzy ooa.ied. He grow quiet and.
with tears of genuine nffection, stooped
down and drew tho nmrt!e, death-still face
to bis own and kissed it passionately, cry
ing": "llaydcel O Hnydco! Would to flod 1
had seen you alive but euco morol"
But, whero wan AH, that grim, yot trusty
slave whom Fairfax so well remembered in
connection with bis visit of long-ago to Tau
giern! Faithful, oven to death 1 For, alas! tho
sobbing billows answored, as tho next
moment they rolled his body into tho cove,
burned and blackened with powdor and
slashed and hacked and pierced in a seoro of
places with sword and knife and bullet.
Now was all clear to Fairfax. His awful
dream was only too truo. Only, In lieu of
tb.o "Namovaa," it was tho vessel that bore
Haydeo; and, instead of tho Princess, it
wa3 Haydeo herself.
Led on probably by "Matteo" wheovor

Night hud luutf utace Hod mul tho broad,
i Dncht aim was now ohlnln.T With all thoV
glorious ofi'nlgcuco of morning.
Fairfax recoaTuzed tho shoro no that or ai
remote, I'caerted island, of which there nr
many off tho coast of Malno.
Hi pirns grow tnoro and more Intense.
Suffering tho most csqulslto torture, ho
straightened out and rot tho bent nrra
while tho iKincs crooked nnd grated and
gritted one against tho other. Constractlng
a rough splint, ho bound it about tho ana.
with strips of clothing.
Besides tho torture from his woundi, the
pangs of hunger now began to troublo him.
Ills biat was goao adriftl How ohouhl ho
regain it? Desert! No man could swim
long In thoso chilly Malno waters nnd live
much less cue In Fairfax's condition.
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. Worn and utterly exhaustctl.
ns he was. it was a most foolhardy attempt
Qiduollnng but his tremendous will kept
h'm up. 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.
But no utiui, buoyed up by tho mighty
hopo that inspired Fairfax, had timo or placo
to nurso his a'.lmenU or for falling 111. Ho
quicklv recovered himself, nnd, being shut
Oil from tho uso of both oars, cut a oculling
notch in tho t.tern and so propollcd liimsolf
toward Jit. Desert.
Three telegrams loft Bar Harbor the same
pafteruoon. Tho first was addressed to Fair
fax's brother, Dana, a bright young clerk hi
a Now York shipping-house. It read thus:
" Secure passage, etc., for two, City ot'
Borne, aud bo ready to sail with mo, to
morrow. O: no account fall me. Lot ull
olso go to tho witids."
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.
Tho Now York Herald for that morning

interesting llttlo item, among others :

Tito five men then spent tho afternoon,
thoroughly Inspecting tho tower and lin.
surroundings within a radius of a half to
three-quarters of a mile, but found nothing
that might indicate recent visitors or bidden,

"Thero la nothing to do but wait," said
Fairfax. "If wo attack thorn on board shiiv
