How a Conviot Made $6000 in one Year. John Short, the bing Sing uouvict wko rau a whisky still while in prison, tells bow ho did, and also a few other lacta in regard to the doings inside the walls of that institu tion which indicate that a rich field for inves tigation might be found there by tbe proper authorities. The assistance of au officer of the prison was of course essential to a high degree of success, Hut this Short found uo difficulty in securing. His first still ho worked with some small lamps, nnd had been at it a year when another convict to whom he refused credit 11 peauhed. " During this time he had averaged 850 per day from the profits of the ttill. At the Bame time he aud his accomplice, the prison officer, mads large profits on smuggled groceries, tobacoo, and cigars, estimated at not less than 1000 per cent, Tbe keeper who was with blm was able to build a four-story house with his share. Subsequently a small copper still and somo worms were smuggUd into the prison and set up in an out-house, where guu.powder and uitro-glyuerioe for blasting rooks are stored, and though well watched, and once locked up iu a dark cell on suspic ion, Short said he had 8Q443. when he left the prison, all mada out of the whisky trade, for his stock of groceries was found aud seized, and eventuallv netted a loss, the keen I er and other confederates having received a still larger sum. Short states that he could have escaped any time, but didn't want to leave while making 8100 a week. Ho had no difficulty in getting all the barley he wan ted, as large quantities aro used in the soup, and the steamboat btiugs numerous bagi full evtry week. All ho had to du was to rip a hole in tho bags and fill his palls. He used two large wash-tubs belonging to the prison to make his mash Iu. Beforo ho was discharged he sold tho business to another convict, who is now making whisky, and who ought to make 820,000 bo lore his time is up. Farmers' Meetings. At a meeting of the Farmers' Institution, held at Aiiiherit, Mass,, some weeks ago, Mr. Slockbridgo of the Agricultural Col lego was preseut, aud at the close of the protracted discussion was invited to sneak. lie raid he had becu considerably interested iu what had boen sa'd. but did not want to go over thu ground again. " Hero," he ad ded, "are a lot of bright, smart, observing men, who have bad trom ten to titty years' experience, and havo uot settled fundamental questions, which any mecbauio would have settled in four years, If they related to his oratt, so that tboy would never need to be opeued for disuussiou again. You can't find a more intelligent Ixtdy of farmers than aro hero assembled, and yet they know nothing. unu mau leuows one thing, und auother knows that tho first is uttorly mistaken. Why not take one question at a tiino, and scttlo it, so that it will stay settled? Tho prime needs of agriculturo are knowledge and system." 1 ho description hero given of the char acter ot the talk at this farmers meeting will apply to a large majority of those held in other sections during the winter. Farm' era' meatings aro unlbrtunately not so en coutaging aa (wcouraglng to those who really seek knowledge, bor tho most part the ttnio is taken up by a claw of men who really know nothing or the topics upou which they declaim, and when practical farm era get the floor, they are too apt to drilt into a dreamy controversy about some mat' ter which is of the least possiblo consequence Farmers meetiogs in some important teat ures are like doctors' meetiugs ; thev settle nothing. At the close, the mind is left iu a state ol groatur confusion and doubt than be fore discussiou was entered upon, and tho par' ticipauts go to their homes feeling that there is nothing certain in soil cultivatiou. II in these meetings some clear-headed, observant man presents facts of real value, up jumps his neighbor and proceeds to show that ho is mistaken, and that the statements are dis proved by his experiments carried on iu the same direction. In this way absolute truth and most valuable tacts loso their luuueuce We have often been uot only discouraged, but highly amused at these discussions. The old, threadbare questions, il the sessions aro protracted, are suro to corns up : "Are leached ashes as valuable as unleached for farm purposes ?" "Is gas-house lime a good and safe fertilizer 7" "Is green corn fodder ol value for milch cows?" "Is deep plowing better than shallow plowing ?" "Is it best to spread manure on grass lands 7" These nd a dozen more topics continuo to be discussed with zeal and pertinacity, just as ll they had nut bien talked about and conclusions reach ed a thousand times during tho past teu or twenty years, lo spend two or three hours iu listening to debates which shed no light ou auy poiut or principle iu sensible husbandry, ia a downright waste, of time. If, duriug the period siuco agriculture became u sub ject of accurate and careful study we have settled nothing, the prospect in I u ture is dis couraging enough. But we have settled many questions, and they should not be opened agaiu. It is certain that uulcached wood-ashes are worth to the farmer more than double tbe leached ; that gas-house lime is Uot only in genera! valueless but delete rious to moat soils; that greeu corn fodder, if raised in drills with full access of light and air, is highly nutritious and vauable, but if raised- from broadcast sowing in close mass, is almost worthless. It is certain thai deep plowing ou a great variety ol soils is better thau shallow, and that manure spread on grass lands, undei favoring conditions, will give profitable grass returns. A class of men attend farmers' meetings wko seem to make it their business to disput every statement offered, and senseless controversy takes the place of instructive debate. I hose who have important facts to present, facts derived from experience and careful experi ment, aro confronted by stupidity and igno rance, and the best thoughta and deductions aro lost sight of iu the general rubbish ol vapid talk and disputations. Auother class of men find their way into farmers' meetings the cheap politicians, and caucus managers. They care nothing for the farming interests, and have no other ob ject but to secure an opertumty to promote saltish ends, and conduct political intrigues. If thoso men cannot be kept out ot (armors msetiugs, it will bo hotter to abolish them altogether. It is time that tho great inter ests of husbandry wcro raised to a higher plane. Science and obs.-rvation have really accomplished much, and tho path of progress must not bo obstructed by uny obstacle which can be moved readily by the true friends of progressive agriculture. Boston Journal of Chemistry. Political Fools. A member of the British Parliament Mr. Raikcs of Chester in a speech to his constituents, has been makiug a diagnosis, as tbe doctors would say, of the various pha ses of political folly, and he lays down three well defined olasses, as follows : "There is the foolish person who thinks that h cau attain objects which he has very much at heart without associating himself with others who have the same object at heart as himself. That person, not to speak harshly, is a fool. (Liughter.) There is another class of liiolinh persons. There are' those who think that because they belong to a party thoy are bound to go with that party, even when it arrogates to tsulf opin ions which aro exactly the opposite of their own, That is another class of lolly which 1 am sorry to say is more or less prevalent in this country. Hut thero is the third, and perhaps the most mischievous fool of all. who when hu belongs to a party himself oin seo no honesty and uo justice in the party to which be is opposed. (Uheers.l flow l asu you to bewaro of all these classes of foolish persons, and especially the last. This classification resembles the Old Farmer's Almanac, which is " calculated for the mendiau of lioatou, but will answer for any other part of the couutry.

Oleomargarine and no Mistake I The San Francisco liulldin Is responsible for the following! Yesterday afternoon nn athletic Individual wus noticed sliding uloug Montgomery street, with nn anxious uyn peering Inquisitively In to tho window of uvovy nitlng-houso which lie passed. Ho was evidently n man whose choice In gaslrunomiciil matters was gov erned solely by thu quantil of meat, vege tables and liquids given In exchange for n stipulated sum. Finally hu appeared to be satisfied with tho inducement held out in a long bill of faro which, tnckod to n carcass of mutton In front of n window, flutlored In the breeze that Informed tlm liunger-lmiinted passer-by that fourdtshes could be had with in for twonty-flve cents. Thu mull went In und In i few moments wus tackling u slim moil with vigorous avidity. After finishing his allotted four plates, with the exception of a few slices of bread, his cyo felt upon n small pinto of but ter, which in his hurry he had evidently not noticed before. He was ubout to plunge his knife into tho butter, when something peculiar In Its np peariincu caused him to pause, und while pausing Im took occasion t, reflect. Sudden ly lie reached forward and taking the small butterplute. between his linger and thumb, he held It toward the light and examined Its contents for nearly u intniiK. He nuxt held it to his nose and snuffed its savor thruu sue. cesslvo times with u puzzled uxprcsslon of countenance. All this time thu restaurant-keeper whs standing immediately behind the butter ana' lyzer, watching him uttontlvoly, and his face was- indicative of rage mid disgust. " reibans you ilon t like tliu butter? was his first rcmiirk, somi-lntei rogatlvidy. Thu man at the table simply laid down the butter, mid turned round with an Inquiring expression nu his visage; but he said iioth lug. "1'orhaps you don't like that butler?" jelled the restaurant man, in a somewhat savage exclamatory tone. " I don't know, us yet thu fact is 1 hnvtm't tried It." " Wnll, you looked :it it us If you thought something va tliu matter with it. Now, II you havo got any remarks to make about that butter, you can make 'em right hare." " 1 wus simply examining the peculiar ap pearance, of the oleaginous compound," re plied tliu man at the table!; mid lie spoke with exasperating coldness. "Thoso blue streaks impart to tho article n variegated appearance which somewhat uxclted my curiosity, llluo streaks. 1 believe, are con sidcred a novelty in butler; uru they not?" Tho restaurant keeper was somewhat taken back by the calm reply of tliu other, but he recovered lilmsulf snlllcien'.ly to remark " Itlliu streaks lire always in good butter at this season of thu year. You must lie one ol thoso il d lip-country lunatics not to know that." The restiiuninteur piuseil for u moment and then resumed In :i threatening manner: " You must understand (bat I don't allow no man to come to this restaurant and go snuflin1 urouiid the butter; no well-bred man 'II do It." " 1 approximated tli.it flutter to my nose simply to ascertain If those blue ktveaks made any peculiar difference iu the smell. I think thu streaks make no very remarkable diffui unce in tba kinell; in fact, I um of the opinion that If any difference al nil is wca sinned, it is actually lor the better. As far us smelling butter is concerned, I hold that, having paid for thu article, I have n peifect right to smell of it, mid should do it again 11 1 thought It at nil necessary ; but I do not think it is. I smelled tlmtgruivsy substance in thi instiineu merely to ascertain if it was the new article of commerce lulled oloomargx rino. and having thus an i veil at a. satlsfac- i lory conclusion In regard lo the matter, I shall have no occasion to smell of it again i Hero the frigid customer deposited n quar I ter on thu table und turned to go. Ilcfore. h could reach the door, however, the restaurant keeper, excited to an iinuon j tiolUbl.1 pitch of frenzy by Ihe speaker's last , remark, yelled vociferously . " It's an infernal lie I 1 keen none of vour bull butter in this bouse.

I In another Instant, tliu guest, fortllled, i doubtless, by bis recent ul)stanlial meal , launched his list between the other s eyes aud landed him under thu nearest table, stunned and senseless.
