STATE PRIsoS DISCIPLINE. No institu.
tion probably requires se7erer discipline
than that which, like a State Prison, In
tended to punish as well as well as reform;
but We doubt that regulation, even of .
State Prison, which calls for the tying up
Of a man by the hands and the applica-
tion-o fifty lashes on the bare back until
it become matter Of difficulty to distin.
guish the lash from the accumulation of
flesh and blood upon it. In free conn
try there is no contingency, whatever the
nature of the offence may be. that should
entitle the human body to be whipped,
cut and lashed. We are no defender Of
crime in any shape, but We certainly
think that some other description Of pun
ishment, and much more effective than
whipping prisoners like dogs, could bein-
troduced into the State Prison with credit
to the State and to the humanity of those
having charge of the institution in ques-
ton. The heart rending groAns of men,
suffering under the tortures of the whip,
may be very pleasant music for those who
strike the keys, but for our part, our ear
for music is not sufficiently refined to ap-
preciatc it, and We hardly believe the peo-
pie Of the State will justify it? Does
Gov. Low approve of the whipping pro-
cess?-[Spirit ofthe Times.

/ Coon YEAsT--A French contributor.
A. Wallet, of Madison county, Illinois,
sends the following recipe to the Amefi-
can Agriculturalist:
Cook handful Of hops in half gallon
of water until it is reduced to about half;
pass the liquid through sieve, and turn
it while hot upon enough -four to make
thick porridge, and when nearly cool, add
pint Of brewers or other yeast, and set
the vessel in warm place until it rises.
This yeast will be tit to use in about
twelve hours. II should be put in well
closed jug and kept in the cellar. In using
it, pint should be kept with which to
make new quantity when it Is needed.
To make bread, take one pint of yeast to
ten pounds of -four, and with water and
salt make stiff dough, which should be
kneaded on moulding board. Let it re-
main ten or twelve hours lin a warm place
in winter or until it is well raised. Then
take pieces of the dough Of the size Of an
egg and roll into biscuits, and place them
in pan so close that they will touch one
another let them remain to rise another
hour, and then place them in the oven.-
If these conditions are observed, with
good -four, you will have light and spongy
bread, that will never sour, even If raised
little too much. If the -four is not good,
still good bread may be made by using
milk instead of water. In making new
yeast, it is well to wash out the jug in or
der to avoid sourness. If preferred, the
bread may be made into larger loaves.

UNION MAKERs!-Among other Incl.
dents Of the Sherman campaign through
Georgia, the following is told with great
relish, of some of the Western soldiers:
A foraging party visited q plantation aud
entered upon the pleasant pastime of
strangliDg chickens and bayoneting hogs.
Finding fine flock of sheep they "went
for them" as the boys say, when the reb-
el owner came out and told them to take
all but two imported merino sheep, ,whic'n
she highly priced. Having pointed out
the pets to the men, she returne.i to the
house. A few minutes aftes she
says, they informed her that they had
killed the rettea sb tep and proposed to
dine upon them, Said they Madam,

nothing at all and might have been omit

1t is strange that President Lincoln had
not distinguished in his own mind be-

befit sermon and those which should
enter into the composition OF state pa

effective in exhortation Mhere the line Of
demarcation is broad and distinctly drawn.

fasts. "Oh, yes" was thu reply, "but

This last paper Of Mr.. Lincoln's is not at
all an improvement on his former ones
but it leaves room for great deal Of i'm
provement upon it, and we trust that our
President will avail himself of the oppor-
tunity.

| WIEN GAS WAS INTRODUCED. The gas
used for ordinary purposes is one of the
| products of the destructive distllations Of
pit coal, submitted to great heat in cast
iron retorts. Certain permanent gases
arc given of, and are collected in large
pipe hali-filled with tar, after which they
pass through a series Of iron pipes, cooled
OIL the outside by streams Of water. The
tar and amnoniacal liquid generated are
! thus condensed, and the gases proceed to
another part of the apparatus, called the
purifier. After being submitted to the
purifying process,it lis collected into large
reservoirs called gasometers, from which
it is conveyed by large pipes, afterwards
branching off in lesser ones, to all parts
of the town.
The artificial production OF inAamma-
BILE air from coal, is first mentioned by
the Rev. Mr.. Clayton, in letter address
ed to the Royal Society, May II, 1888
he states that he distilled coal in n close
vessel, collecting the gas in bladdcrs and
afterwards burning it for the amusement
of his friends. In the year 1897, he
erected similar apparatus in Ayreshirc,
where he then resided, and in 1898 he
was engaged to put up his apparatus at
the mandatory Of Messrs. Bolton, Watts
& Co., Soho, near Birmingham. The H.
Elimination of the Soho Works by gas in
1903, on the occasion of peace, brought
it into general notice, and it was soon
adopted by many individuals, who, acting
upon their own ideas, introduced various
methods Of collecting and purifying it..
A public exhibition of it took place in
London in 1906. Golden Lane was light
ed with it in 1907, Pail Mall in 1909, aud
all the streets, generally, in 1914.

\ WEDDING THAT DIDN'T Cone OFF,
The Pittsburg Chroniclc of the 10th ult.
is responsible for the following. which we
doubt not is literally true-at least it is
laughable and we'll told:
A rather rich affair occurred in East
Liberty the other night, for the particu-
lars Of which We are indebtedto friend.
1t appears that 'culled' individual,
named Smith, being smitten with the
dusky charms Of female acquaintance,
proposed for her hand, and his suit hav.
ing been accepted, the day was named
and everything arranged to make the
twain one. Accordingly, one night last
week the parties, accompanied by several
friends, presented themselves at the house
of their preacher to be married, and eve
rything was progressing pleasantly until
the mlnSterput the usual question whcth-
or there were any present who had aught
to say against the union Of the pair A
pause followed, which was soon broken,
however, by big colored fellow respond.
ing among the spectators Yes, sab, Ise

procecdin' furdcr.'
AS soon as the excitement which tho
interruption produced had subsidized the
bridegroom looking daggers at the intru-
der, invited him if he had 'jections' to
make to spit 'cm out; that lie guessed
he couldn't 'zactly prove notin' 'ginst him
no how
The other, drawing himself up to his
iu! hight, replied with solemn dignity:
Mr.. Smith J. lse come up here all de
way from Oakland to stop dis marriage.
You know, sab, you have a wife in de
Shenandoah Valley, and dat dc poor wom-
an lubs you to def. o, Mr.. Smith, Ise

to say to this?'

Smith | saw her dc oder day, and she
sent her lub to you, and dc children's hub,
and told you to send her some money. |
declare, ISe ashamed of you, Mr.. Smith.
Some further conversation took place,
the result of which was that the marriage
was stopped, which so affected tho bride
that she swooned away, falling into the
arms Of the preacher, much to the annoy

hardly anticipated denouement so weigh.

writer in the Chicago Post describes how
he got out of q bad scrapc in the Police
Court: "The next morning the Judge
Of the Police Court sent for me. went
down and he received me cordially. Said
he had heard Of the wonderful things I
had accomplished, by knocking down five
persons and assaulting six others, and
was proud of the. was promising

a SEyERE SENTENCE Shortly after
the war Of 1912, before the good feeling
was restored between the Canadians and
the people upon the northern border, a
person was tried before Judge F.,
charged with feloniously and with evil
intent entering poultry yard and abduc-
ting certain fowls, boldly and by force
lie was found guilty, and the Judge arose
to pronounce sentence upon him and ad-
dressed him as follows: "Prisoner at the
bar-you have been tried and found gull
ty of larceny, this being your second Of
tense. The sentence of the Court is that
you be banished from off the face of the
