The New York Mercury purports to be Q
literary paper. 1t ia one Of the dirtiest Sc
cesh sheets in America. The old knicker-
booker monthly is also sailing on its old rep
uta;ion, but it is as poisonous as eopperhead

member these facts when they want light lit
erAture Journal.
We have this bit Of information in this
mornings Journal, instead of the adver-
tisement (marked 3t) of the popular
photograph of Schenck, now for sale ev-
erywhere, in the New York Mercury"
We will not dispute with the journal as
TO the "secesb" proclivities Of the Meres-
yy, although we and it may travel to the
conclusion by different routes. 1t is an
abolition sheet, and, we believe, Of the
Fremont school, advocating the positive
equality of all men regardless of color, be-
fore the law This doctrine we hold to
be as disgusting to intelligent white men
as it is disIoyal and repugnant to the pro-
visions of the Constitution. And this is
why we do not propose TO take issue with
the Journal on the charge it makes. But
the fact that the JournaI never discovered
the treason Of the Mercury until after il
had advertised its popular photographs, .
is satisfactory evidence to us that its high
est and only test of loyalty is schenck
6chenck is not law unto the Mercury
and, therefore, the Mercury is "a dirty Sc
cesh sheet" Why not say that Schencl
is .'the Government" at once?

Escaping from Fire.

Human life has been often thrown away
from persons not taking the prec,Ition to
accustom their minds to dwell at times on
the proper method of acting in emergencies.
From the want of this, many rush into the
very Jaws Of death, when single moments
calm reflection would have pointed out GER
tain and easy means of escape. 1t is the
more necessary to fix in the mind a general
course of action in case of being in a house
while it is on fire, since the most dangerous
c0niiasrations occur in the dead of night
and at the moment of being aroused from
sound sleep the brain is apt to become too
confused to direct the bodily movements with
any kind of appropriateness without some
previous preparation in the manner contained
herein. The London Fire Department sug-
gests, in case premises are on fire:
l. BE careful to acquaint yourself with
the best means Of exit from the house, both
at the top and bottom.
2. On the first alarm, reflect before YOU
act. If In bed at the time, wrap yourself in
a blanket or bedside carpet. Open no more
doors than absolutely necessary, and shut
every door after you.
8. There is always from eight to twelve
inches of pure air close TO the ground; if
you can not, therefore, walk Upright through
the smoke, drop on your hands and knees,
and thus progress. A wetted silk handker-
chief, piece of flannel, or a worsted stock
ing, drawn over the face, permits breating
and, to great extent excludes the smoke.
4. If you can neither make your way up
ward or downward, get into front room
if there is family, see that they are all col
lected there, and keep the door closed as
much as possible, for remember that smoke
always follows draft, and fire always rushes
after smoke.
D. On no account throw yourself or allow
others to throw themselves from the window
If no assistance is at hand, and you are il
extremity, tie the sheets together, haviu:
fastened one side to some heavy piece O
furniture, and let down the children one b,
one by tying the end of the line of sheet
arond the waist, and lowering them through
the window that is over the door, rather thai
one that is over the area. You can easil,
let yourself down after the helpless are saw
ed.
6. If woman's clothes catch fire, let he
instantly roll herself over and over On tn
ground. If a man be present, let him thro
her down, and do the like, AMI then wra
} her up in rug, coat, or the first woole

Solitary Confinement at Cherry Hill,
Pennsylvania.

No amount of kindness, good Intentions
and philanthropy could prevent US from
shudlering, as one by one the cells opened,
exhibiting their solitary inmates as the i'm
presentations Of misery, wretchedness, and
despair. Never shall we forget the scenes
there presented nor can we ever recur to
them without pain. Not that the unfortunate
people seem to want for anything that cor
vict ought to expect. All are comfortably
and cleanly clad; they admit themselves that
they get plenty Of wholesome food; each
cell is heated with steam the ventilation is
as good in general as that of any other pris-
on We have seen and almost every one We
saw had one or more books or magazines.
1t is the solitude that seems terrible. We
remember nothing more painfully interesting
than the eagerness with which nine-tenths of
the convicts fastened to look out into the
corridor as soon as the thick, close door graf
d sullenly on its hinges. The few who did
not thus rush to the door to get even one
glance at the outside world, hid their faces in
their beds, as if too sensible of their degra-
dation to let any one see them. In order
that they might feel at liberty to speak their
minds freely, Mr.. Vaux withdrew to some
distance whenever We desired 10 ask the
prisoner any questions. However much they
differed ia other respects, all agreed in one
p9nt-namely, that they felt they could moi
i've at all without work of some kind. Ever
those who had never worked when at liberty
have this feeling. A very common remark
amorg them was, "Still we have no heart tc
work if We could only work with others We
could do two times as much, and it woult
fatigue Us ten times less than it does now
Il would rather die any death, said one WHIT
had served two years and half, than to b.

as long more here Tor what IS it better than
grave?' "We never get any harsh tleat-
ment," SAYS another " the authorities high
and low are kind to US, but to have to stay
here from one end of the seven years to the
other, Sundays as well as Mondays, Christ
mas and Easter, summer and winter, is pur-
lshment enough, Heaven knows! Our worst
enemy could hardly wish US q harder fate +"
The concluding words were hardly audible;
the tears trickled down the unfortunate mans
cheeks, believing beard that had evidently
grown gray before its time. Appearing
ashamed of his emotion, be turned about on
sudden, having rubbed his cuff over his
face, adding. Now you think me bad man,
but there are thousands outside to-day that's
loved and respected, that's not half SO honest
as me, or that hasn't SO good heart either.
But | did wrong once when l wasn't thinking.
1t wasn't much of thing either; but twas
better for them to hang me at once" >" Have
you any hope Of getting out before your
time ?" We asked another. "Oh, if We be-
have ourselves We may get pardoned." 90 But
how can you do otherwise here?" Thi,
seemed TO puzzle him; he hestated for q
moment, and then said, "We could shout and
make noise" As the door wa. about to
close he begged to have it open only half a
minute more. When his request was COM
piled with by permission of Mr.. Vaux, he
seemed as grateful as if an important service
had been rendered him.
However severely the men suffer in BODY
and mind from being shut up in this manner
from one end of the year, and of seven years,
to the other, the women seem to suffer vastly
more. 10 US their mental condition seems
indescribably sad. ALL save those who are
in still more painful condition, wear an as
spect of corroding grief and despair. The
first one We saw burst into tears as soon as
the door of her cell opened. "You have
net hsen long here ?" asked We. "Oh, sir,
yes have; year and five months; and |
have year and seven months TO serve yet.
Iii not be alive half the time, ant | wish |
wouidn't.' ~ The bitter anguish with which
these words were uttered would disarm the
most cruel resentment. Another calmly but
sadly remarked, " would rather they'd DUR

Of the preceding suggestions there are
two which can not be too deeply engraven on
the mind, that the air is comparatively pure
within foot of the floor, and that any wet
ted silk, or woolen texture, thrown over the
face, excludes smoke to great extend it
is often the case that the sleeper is awaken
ed by the ,uffocating effects of the smoke
and the first effort should be TO get rid of it,
so as to give time to compose the mind, and
make some muscular effort to escape.
In case portion of the body is burned, it
can not be too strongly impressed on the
mind that putting the burned par; under
water, or milk, or other bland fluid, gives in
stantaneous and perfect relief from all pain
whatever; and there it should remain until
the burn can be covered perfectly With
half an inch or more of common wheaton
flour, put on with dredging box, or in any
other way, and allowed TO remain until the
cure is effected, when the dry, caked -four
will fall of, or can be softened with water.
disclosing beautiful, new and healthy skin,
in all cases where the burns have been super
ticial. But in any case of burn, the first ef-
fort should be to compose the mind, by in
simultaneously removing bodily pain, which
is done as above named the philosophy of
1t being that the fluid, whether water, milk,
oil, &c, excludes the air from the wound :;
the flour does the same thing. and it is rare
indeed that water and -four are not instan-
taneorsly to be had in all habitable localities.
