cd every heart. The soldiers who in double ranks
had occupied all the entrances to the court, sued
tears on KiBbets fate, aud precadsion was taken
to have other soldiers for the next sitting AL

At that solemn moment OF universal enjoyment,
Jane KiDke resolved to tske advantage Of the

Since that day she has neverseeu MIN. The at.

/ learned that be had been recaptUred, and re
manned uncertain to his further fate, until the
/ newspapers stated that he was not taken back to
Neugardt, but that they had transported hun to
the jail at Spand0C, near Berlin.
1t is there that Dr. Gottfried Kinke has been
grooming since last Spring. He Is compelled to
/ earn by the winding OF wool 10d aday, tor which
/ the Government feeds him. They give aim 10 the
morning what they call water soup and slice OF
coarse brown bread; for his dinner peas beans,
or similar vegetables, with bread and III the eve
! ming bread and water Only three times week
are the prisoners furnished with meat Working
one hour beyond the daily task lie earns one third
OF penny, for which he is allowed 10 buy himself
on Saturdays a loaf Of white bread, a herring, or
come butter. They allow him only once month
to write letter TO his wife which letter of course
! passes through the hands of the Inspectors. AS
to scientiiic works, them he can only mentally per
form For eight weeks he had not breathed the
pure air nor seen the sky. The daily walk of hall
an hour takes place only in the corridor Of the
! prison. Saturdays and Sundays are excluded
from this recreation, and even other days il the
Inspector of the Prison be elsewhere engaged;
and, it is scarcely necessary to add that his wife

was refused Ambulance.
If lie does not receive timely rescne-~in con-
sequence OF change of affairs in Germany-one
| ofthc most generous and gifted men OF the Ger
man fatberland will pine away within the walls Of
horr-id prison, The worthy, highly noble tenor
of the monthly letters he writes to his wife show
the stamp Of q man who feels the duty his horrible
fate imposed upon him as a martyr OF the progress
OF the Nineteenth Century.
Not less firmly does lane kinkel pursue the dit
lcult path of her life. Deprived OF the support OF
her husband, she has returned to her teaching o.
music in Cologne and Bonn, and thus earns an hon.
CRADLE and independent livelihood for herself and
her four little ones. When, in the evening, eX
hauslod by her lessons, exhausted by the care OF
her children her poetical labors completed, she
then avals herself of the night to write those let
tiers to her husband, which alone keep him III con-
nection with this life.
P. S-Since the above has been IN type We
have received the good news of KinkcIs escape
This, however only renders the narrative more
interesting.
