i The grand jury express their entire satisfac-
ton with the management of the State prison
and of the house of correction. They speak in
equally favorable terms of the pauper establish
ments at South Boston and Deer Island, except
in the matter of ventilation; but recommend an
intermediate reform school for persons from l6
to IS years of age. The lock-ups for the de-
tention Of prisoners attached to the ci ty watch
houses they denounce as disgrace to a civilized
community.
In reference to the new Jail, they recommend
separate accommodations for persons detained
as witnesses, and hold that they should not be
subjected to prison discipline, and that they
should be supplied with as good food as they
are accustomed to.
In reference to gambling, they say.-The at
tention of the grand jury has been particularly
called to the investigation of gambling houses,
which are increasing 10 an alarming extent in
our midst. They are the most fruitful nurseries
of crime and all the attendant evils incident TO
it. Through the vigilance Of the city marshal
twenty bills were found against different per-
sons, and It is hoped that the utmost exertions
will be made to rid the city of these dens of sin
and wickedness
Having had much opportunity for observing
the operation of the law in relation to the sale Of
intoxicating liquors, they sly--It will be seen
by reference TO the schedule Of bills returned
that nearly onc-half are for violation of the H.
cense and Sunday laws. Upon examination of
the records it appears that there are many per-
sons indicted every term, that is, six times dur
ing the six months, and many others from two
TO six. Thus the whole number Of persons in
dicted is about one-half the number as per
schedule.
From information obtained from the city mar
shal, it appears that there are at the present
time over 500 places in the city where intoxi-
eating liquors are sod consequently there are
1900 selling in defiance of law.
After quoting the remarks of the grand jury
in December, I849, in favor of license system
for Boston, they add" The foregoing remarks
are found to be perfectly applicable at this time,
and six months service in the jury-room will
satisfy the most increduous of the entire inef-
6ciency of the present system relative to the
sale of Intoxicating liquors. There is no doubt
regarding the baneful influence exerted upon
society by intcmperancc, and the misery, pauper-
ism, and crime engendered thereby. But if the
vigilant city marshal, with an efficient police, in
connection with the night watch, can obtain evi-
dence in only two -ffteenths of all the cases. it is
conclusive to the minds of the grand Jury, that
some other measures should be adopted, and,
under all the circumstances in consideration
they would recommend that licenses be granted
under restrictions the sum required to be of
such an amount as partially to defray the ex-
penses Of maintaining the institutions to which
the victims Of intempernnce and crime are con-
signed. Bv this means the court, already over
hardened with business, would be partially re-
lieved"

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY.

Year after year unto her feet,
She lying on her couch alone,
Across the purpled coverlet,
TIE maiden's jet-black hair has grown
On either side her tranced form
Forth streaming from braid Of pearl:
The slumbrous hight is rich::and warn''
And moves not on the rounded curl.
The silk star-broider'd coverlid
Unto her limbs itself doth mould
Languidly ever; and, amid
Her full black ringIets downward rolrd
CLOVIS forth each softly shadow'd arm
With bracelets of the diamond bright.
Her constant beauty doth inform
Stiffness with love, and day with light.
She sleeps: her breathings are not heard
In palace chambers for a part,
The fragrant tresses are not stirred
That lie upon her charmed heart.
She sleeps: on either hand upswells
The gold-fringed pillow lightly pressed;
She sleeps, nor dreams, but ever dwells
A perfect form in perfect rest.

MIRABEAU.
An Anecdole Of his Private Life.

TThe following, from "Chanbers's Edinburgh
Journal" goes to confirm the common opinion
that Mirabeau was man Of great intellect and
energy, but of marvellous little conscience.]
The public life as well us the private charac.
ter of Mirabeau are universally known; but
the following anecdote has not, we believe,
been recorded in any of the biographies.
The particulars were included in the brief fur
nisl,ed to NJ de Galltzaue, Advocate General
in the Parliament Of Provence, when he was re-
tanned for the defence of Madame Mrabeau in
her husbands process against her. NJ de Ga
litzane afterwards followed the Bourbons into
exile, and returned with them in 1914; and it
is on his authority that the story is given as
fact.
"Mirabeau had just been released from the
donjon Of the Castle of Fincennes, near Paris.
He had beer confined there for three years sand
q half, by virtue of that most o'iions mandate,
alettre-de-cachei. His imprisonment had been
of most painful nature; and it was prolonged
at the instance of his father, the Marquis de
Mirabeau. On his being reconciled to his faith.
er the confinement terminated, in the year
l7SO, when Mirabeau was thirtyone years OF
age
One OF his fathers conditions was, that Mira
beau should reside for some time at distance
from Paris; and it was settled that he should
90 on visit to his brothev-n-law, Count de
Salant, whose estate was situated a few
leagues from the city of Limoges, the Capital
of the Limousin. Accordingly, the Count
went to Vincennes to receive Mirabeau on the
day of his liberation, and they pursued their
Journey at once with all speed.
The arrival Of Mirabeau ut the ancient mano-
rial chateau created a great sensation in that
remote part of France. The country gentle
men residing in the neighborhood had often
heard him spoken of AS a remarkable man, not
only on account OF his brilliant talents, but also
for his violent passions; and they hastened to
the chateau to contemplate being who had
excited their curiosity to extraordinary pitch.
The greater portion Of these country squires
were mere sportsmen, whose knowledge did
not extend much beyond the names and quail.
ties of their dogs and horses, and in whose
houses it would have been almost in vain to seek
for any other book than the local almanac, con-
tanning the list of the fairs and markets, to which
they repaired with the utmost Punctuallty, to
loiter away their time, talk about their rural
affairs, dine abundantly, and wash down their
food with strong Auvergne wine
Gonnt du Saillant was quite Of different
stamp from his neighbors He had seen the
world, he commanded regiment and at that
period his chateau was perhaps the most civil

there was curious mixture Of provincial oddi.

epoch, indeed, the young Lmousin noblemen,
when they joined their reg iments, to don their
