That company Of itinerant musicians should

BOLD RoBBRRY.-From the N. O. Delta.
OF the 24th inst, we extract the following:
a very daring and successful robbery was
made yesterday on board of the steamer
Lewis Whitenan, Yazoo River packet,
lying in the Second District.
About 8 o'clock in the day, while the
clerk had the iron safe in the Office open,
some thief entered boldly and distracted
money to the amount of six hundred dollars,
and left without being detected.
The police were Immediately apprised of
the robbery, but we believe they were un-
able to discover any traces Of the thief.

In St. Louis it is proposed to erect public
fount in front of the Courthouse, for the dis
pensation of pure, clear ice water to the thlrs-
ty populace. 1t is also proposed to have
basin. which will contain l,5OO gallons of
water, with forty-four perpendicular supply
pipes, running through an ice vault eleven
feet in diameter, going to depth of sixteen
feet below the pavement, completely secured
by brick walls, with space filed in with
charcoal, to act as non-conductOr. The
plan also embraces pagoda and pavilion,
covering the ice water pump, built entirely
of cast iron and elaborately decorated, the pa
vilion to serve as speakers stand on public
occasions. The font, it is contemplated, will
be a hexigon in shape. with six faucets, of
easy access, so that half dozen persons may
be accommodated at the same time. The
supply of water will, it is believed. be abun-
dant for FIVE thousand persons day. The
whole affair it is estimated, will cost but $8,-

MISCELLANEOUS READING.

TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT In A PRISON.
A Philadelphia reporter, having thorough
ly overhauled the Moyamensing prison, gives
the following account of the shower bath
mode OF Furnishing criminals:
In cell ut the eastern end of the corridor
appropriated for females, stood something
like wooden chimney, vertically against the
wall. Closer inspection revealed door in
its front, with staple and paddock. This be-
ing thrown open, an apartment just large en-
ough tocontain human body, was revealed,
with one of the round perforated bath cis-
terms in the top. The door and sides are hol-
low and stuffed with woolen to prevent
screams from being heard. 5A
When any prisoner becomes ungovernable,
he is escorted to this cell. The physician. the
nurse and the superintendent stand by. The
maefactor is forced into the apartment, the
doors closed upon him, and the staples secur-
ed with heavy paddock. Then in the dark
ness and sitting air, the unhappy criminal
feels the rush of the descending water. 1t
comes in torrent upon his uncovered head,
and seems to be beating upon his brain. In
vain does he seek to avoid the draugbt. He
cannot bend in the narrow aperture. lie can
not turn. His breath grows short. Every
nerve is unstrung. His heart beats agoniz-
ingly He screams, but the walls are deaf,
and there is no reply. He is sutfocating-
dying. And when sense is swimming and
life Pickering, the door is opened, the un-
happy man removed, and the dying pulses
taught to beat again.
Sometimes the criminals. when removed.
are black in the face, the blood flooding the
head A man in Sing Sing prison lately ex-
pired under this punishment. The Shower
bath ut Moyamensing has been used three
times in seven years Its effects are to shock
the nervous system and weaken the entire
body. One woman was lately put to the bath
test. She is known as Jenny Lind, and is
designated by one of the Wardens as the most
abandoned woman in the world. She has
been in prison more than one hundred times!
chiefly for vagrancy, and is beyond all retor-,
nation She seems at times to be possessed
with demon. On Wednesday she leaped
upon Mr.. Sargent, the Warden of the Female
department, and tore bis mouth in most
savage manner. The assault was entirely un-
provoked She is said to be very deceptive.
She was placed in the shower bath for an ex-
nibition of heinous wickedness, and at the
end of ten minutes punishment asked if she
would behave. She said with an oath she
would not, and demanded to be punished
again.
The bath was again applied; but she was
still incorrigible When brought forth
again she was almost lifeiess, and but tor the
application of prompt restoratlves, would
have been no longer trouble to the authorl-
