ONE or THE WoMEs.--Says the Bal
timore American, describing visit to
tho Penitentiary:
AT tho outside of tho gate stood a
neatly dressed woman, youthful and
quite handsome, talking with pris-
oncr through the bars, with one OF the
guards standing alongside, il being
against tho rule TO allow tho prisoners
to have any private conversation with
any one who may visit them. Their
hands were clasped through the bars,
and all the evidence Of earnest afiec-
ton was evinced by both parties
There being but little work for the
prisoners now, they were allowed TO
prolong tho interview for upwards OF
an hour, and would porbably have
remained much longer if permitted TO
do so. On inquiry, IL was ascertain
cd that the prisoner vast hen serving
a term Of several years for attempt
ing the life Of his wife, having cut her
throat and inflicted severnl severe
stabs in her breast, from the effects OF
which her life was for a long time des-
paired of. The husband fed, but he
was arrested, tried, and convicted on
the testimony Of his wife; and the in
teresting female ontside Of the gate,
was the iorgiving wife, who visits him
regularly 10 condole with him and to
comfort him, doubtless full of regret
that she did not exert herself to pre-
vent his Incarceration.
