A Historic PARALLEL.-History is

Three hundred years aud more before the

was greater than their love Of country -
They had men who cried out in the hour
of gloom and disaster, Didn't We tell
you so didn't we warn you Of the dan

that you moderated the power of the ad

the disease might be cured but, after one
of them had died. and the last offices were

DEATH OF SIR JosHuA JlEpp. - Sir
Joshua Jebb. founder of the new system
of prison discipline in England, died sud.
denly on the 26th ult., while On his way
in an omnibus from his residence in Full
ham to his Office in London. His age
was seventy years. He was educated for
the army, and saw service ia Canada and
the West Indies. In 1888 he entered the
civil service of the Crown, and was select
ed by Lord Russell to supervise the sys-
tenn of military punishment. He was al
SO appointed to the post Of Surveyor Gen.
eral Of Civil Prisons, and was thus brought
into close relationship with that system Of
prison discipline with which, for good or
i'll, his name has become indissblubly as
sociated.
The British Government, mainly at
the instance of Sir Joshua, adopted the
system now in operation of tickets of leave.
Whistler he was the originator of the
scheme or not, 1t il certain that he has
been Its ablest exponent and it's rnost reso-
lutte defender. All the obloqay that has
been cast on the system, all the deeds OF
CRIME which ticket of-leave men have
been convicted, never shook his faith in
IN the soundness OF the theory year sf
ter year he went on issuing reports of tn.
success of his plans, and of the compare
lively few persons that having passe,
through his discipline returned again t
the paths OF crime. Public opinion, how
ever, was wholly at issue with b i'm ON thi
point.
