That the necessity for such an institution exists no one can doubt. There have nportance to ble. Et is within onr le beds, and we would been many objections raised and doubts ex- | pressed as to the propriety of building a sep- arate institution for girls, and incurring the heavy expense necessary for two distinct insti- tutions, kc. sexes are combined under one institution, althouch entirely separate and distinct, with no | communication whatever between each other, except in the chapel. It is found to be of very great advantage to have the girls do all the washing and thus viving a larze number of girls work, which will be of advantage to them in the future, as well as relieving the boys of that kind of work. and pern iz a large number of them to foliow such other pursuits and trades as would be to their future benefit. The combination of the two work so weil in the institutions we saw | that we were much impressed with it, and | while being hardly prepared to recommend its adoption here, we would respectfully pr subject to the board for their consideration. Would necessitate the erection “of new build- ings, Xe. in concluding THE SUBJECT OF BUILDIN the committee recommend the immuinediate adoption by the building committtee of a pian for the enlarzement of the institution for the future to a capacity of accommodation for 1,000 inmates, if necessary—with chapel, hospital and such other buildings as would be required in a well organized institution of the kind. Referring to the truisin that the “easiest way to cure crime is to prevent it,” the committee fay: “Our streets are filled with boys and giris starting on a course of erime and shame. This institution should be # shelter capable of taking a much larzer number than we have heretofore thou:ht of, and ziving them such mental, moral, Teligious and industrial trainiug as they could not otherwise obtain, aud from here sent out in due tine to good places on farms, &e., where they will crow to be virtuous and useful citi- zens.” Referring to THE SUBJECT OF INDUSTRIES the committee state that in some of the larger institutions shoe making, willow work, print- ing, sleigh and sled making, knitting stockings, brash making and chair caning are carried on fuccessfully, and in some instances are produe- tive of some profit. They regret to state, how- tem prevails, which the committee regard as in general prejudicial alike to discipline and the reformation of boys. They hold that labor should not be of the crank or tread-mill character. Use- leas labor is as demoralizing to an inmate of a Feform school asit isto a free man. Labor should be of such a character ag would attract and intere=t the be duce in him hab labor. so th: e that by acquiring this habit hy able to earn acom- discharged, but be reliance. Thecommittee state i nection with the mede of organizing and managing labor that they have con te the conclusion that shoe making combines more advantages than apy other trade. and they recommend its adoption. A realy sale for shoes is found in our market. zest that for the present the manufac- ‘and misses shoes or ties be first a asier to learn. state “It will be absolutely necessary to secure 4 nan to take entire chat of the work who is a practical shoemaker, and one who ts of unbounded integrity, as well as one who is per- feetly famitiar with the machinery to be used, and who has the capacity to conduct a manu- business.

From the London Times. On Saturday night one of the greatest dia- monds of the world, the largest which has been found this century, was exhibited. It was dis- covered inthe claim of Mr. Porter Rhodes in the Kimberley Mine, South Africa, and by its remarkable whiteness completely disposes of the charge against Africa of being the nurse of tawny diamonds. The surface diamonds had, | indeed, a yellow hue, but now that the miners have gone below the trap they find in Jazers- fontein and other famous rezions of the Griqua diamond-tields the clearest blue-white stones. | The Porter Rhodes diamond was brought to \ light on February 12. 1880, and before it left the | diamond-fielis £500 (which was placed to the éredit of the local hospital) had been paid by | Spectators admitted to see it, and £69,000 had | been offered for it in vain by a syndicate of Lon- don jewellers. It weighs 150 carats, is still un- | cut, but is so cloven that the “table” and one of the “steps” are already formed, and it will lose less than most diamonds in the cutting, being | expected to produce a net weight of about 100 8, when it assumes the form of a brilliant. | Mr. Rhodes says he will not take £100,000 for | | the diamond. ‘It was showa to the Queen early year, and Her Majesty on the occasion nted Mr. Rhodes with ‘a watch.

See The Rhombo-Cephailic Defences From th ¥. Tribmme. It ought to be well understood what manner of nea are hereafter to be at liberty to commit murder if they desire to do so. E. C. Spitzka, | M. D., of New York, a witness in the Guiteau has enlightened us upon that point.

He knew from the shape of the man’s from the “defective innervation of the muscles,” from “the assymetry of the ” from “the pronounced deviation of the tongue to the left.” that Guiteau was one of | those persons, fortunately at present not {numerous, who are privilezed to commit | murder.

If you are indicted and ar- raigned, all you will have to do is to plead thombo cephallic.” The district attorney will quail and quash the indictment at once.

Is this to be the outcome of the Guitean trial? SS Violent Storms on the Atlantic. | The incoming vessels continue to report severe storms on the Atlantic. The captain of the City | of Montreal, of the Inman line, which arrived yesterday, says that during the voyage he encoun- tered some Very severe weather. He sailed from Liverpool November 29, and called at Queenstown on the following day. Soon afterwani a heavy storm set in and continued for five days. During this hurricane the ship Labored violently among the waves, many of which broke over her. One of the companton-Ways was smashed In, but no other damages were caused during the prevalence of the storm. The State of Nevada, of the State line, Which arrived (rom Glasgow yesterday, also ex: perieneed much rough weather. She sailed from the Clyde November 2, but did not leave Larne until the 28th.

The stock would cost from $500 to $1,000 to start with. ‘There may be some points of minor importance that we have not touched upon, but we gave the matter much time and thought. and are so well satisfied with the result that we would ‘urge that inimediate steps be taken towards the of this braneh of industry.” The com- mittee close by stating that “this is not the only labor for this institution, for we trust the day is not far distant when we shall have one or two others, and that our hillsides will not oniy abound with the products of the soii, but that said he thought that committees sending women to Canada should have affiliated with | committees in Canada, who should send reports | to Londen monthly. “He specially dwelt upon | the capabilities of the northwest of supporting | a larger population, and suggested that arrange- | ments be made for the organization of commit- tees in centers of Uy Daag with the view of | encouraging emigration of women.
