Tss DDSsas' P.,sou.--Ws walked through Tho
"Geigotha" yesterday. The thermo meter At Ven
AlstA Asiea's, opposite, was up TO 80 What re-
lisf to be encased in stone walls at ssch season;
w'sh comfortable little stone parlo'n, washstand
| and single bedsead; peep AT the ne avens through
| the dormer window comfortable a. on closet and
ws,er pipe in the corRer and all those agreeable SEN
sations which solitude silence and re tirement from
the world calculated TO inspire. Nothing could
be better arranged for the comfort and happiness of
man than the beautiful regularity Of the prison cells,
the airy salubnousness Of the INTERIOR the genuine
philanthropy of the keepers, and theE truly affection
ate assidmty that nothing shall escape their attention,
that nothing shall be RENTED that in aught con-
duoe to safety and protection Of their guests. 1t is
quite charming to look upon it.
The debtors prison. another wing of the Egyptian
pile, is also splendid monument efthe durability OF
our beautiful Institutions and lasting commentary
upon our republican simplicity and equality. The
perfect uniformity Of the cells in which debtors are
confned-the characteristic simiItude of feeding the
wretched inmates; the unvarying regularity in the
mouldy bread, served from the refuse of criminals
confined in another wing Of the building; the spa
cious dining apartment of the favored Debtors naked
cell of about ten feet square-and their great feedom
in locking through the CRATES Of their cells into the
open court in front of their prison. never can be for
gotten by the favored ndvduas whose fortune it is
to nhabiti it. Who shall say that the experiment of
democracy and equal right has failed, while such gor-
geous temples are erected in the metropolis of the
land of LIBERTY!
IMPRovEAENr-MAKING BOTH ENDS MEET.-We
take great pleasure in recommending the favorable
attention of the public, the neat vetualng cellar re-
Gently fitted up by David Hale & Co. in the basement
adjoining the Office of the Journal of Commerce, for
merly occupied water closet to that respectable
establishment. The impunty of the water III that
part of the city, together with the hardness of the
times, have induced the proprieors todepart from the
usual rule of rejecting spr,uous liquors from their re-
fectory. The public however, may rely on getlinga
good glass of brandy and water or refreshing tum-
bier of punch at the saloon Of the Journal of Com
MERGE. We can particularly recommend the premi-
SEES as the most agreeable in that neghborhood; the
bigc water being pumped out by the steam engine of
the press every morning, rendering it Of the most
cool and salubrious resorts imaginable.
is needless to recommend David's sausages-his
hostility to the canine race and his opportunities and
ways of the best quality and of course giving to his
pies and sausages a most exquisite govt. His pre-
misses particularly SAFE especially during the ap-
preaching dog days. as friend Shocks used TO saw
Where there are such fine sausages, dogs are always

and Asten assured bat yesterday, that they cured
a man Of the horrors only day or two before, by
giving him half tumbler of brandy. A hair from

them to try it forthwith. Good liquor will cure any
thing.
