CRTTIcIZING NHE CRITICs.-The London
Orchestra makes sport Of the musical criti-
cisms of the London STANDARD and the Must
cal World. The Standard had said of Mr..
Sims Reeves Adelaide:
'Such song, so sung, is one Of those per
formances which is now-and always has
been so seldom offered to the public"
Whereupon correspondent of the Orches-
ira says: sa.s
perhaps the performances is and has been
but didn't know they was'-Your obedient
servant"
OF the Musical World it says: -
THAT critical journal = Acknowledged
great in matters of fiction--has the following
passage In acritique on Mrs. John Macfarren,
concert last week: $3.50
"Miss Ada Jackson was the vocalist, and sang
most tastefuly Haydn's canzonet Sympathy DIR,
Arne's Where the bee sucks, ballad by Mr.. g. A.
Macfarren, "When youthful joys and hopes are fed
ald Bishops song, Tell me- my heart"
"The only circumstance that prevented Miss
Ada jackson singing Haydn's canzonet
'charmingly' resembled those small obstacles
which stand in the way of dramatic denoue-
ment In the song of Guy Fawkes.' To paro-
dy the words of that immortal lyric:
sMiss Ada jackson too was there: her music she
laid hands on it, =
And sang. Macfarren, Bishop, too, and likewise
Haydn's canzonet; - r...ti
At least she would have sung these three, and told
you where the bees suck,

A BRIDGE OF SIzE.-The Chestnut Street
bridge, in Philadelphia, must be a ponderous
structure. The whole City Government
cracked jokes on it, not long since, and not a
timber creaked. We copy from the Bulletin ::
There was semi-oficial opening of the
Chestnut street bridge on Saturday after
noon, and Mr.. Joseph Miller was out in his
glory. Why is it that people always will Joke
about bridges? We give few of the gems of
the occasion:
His Honor the Mayor-Well, gentlemen,
you say your bridge will bear 10000 pounds
to the square foot, but when get on it, you
have one MOre-tOn, that you have not counted
on. Loud applause.
Councilman Cattel-I have crossed this
bridge so often that a great many people think
1t is mere cattle bridge. Haw! haw
Chief Engineer Kneass-All ask is, that
if the bridge is to have trial, it may be tried
by its PIERS IEcstatic cries OF "good."l
Jas. A. Freeman, Esq.-We ought to have
some music. Can no one give us Pontoon
IOh! oh
His Honor the Mayor, again-When gaze
upon these two magnificent, but costly arches,
/ cannot but ask, in the words of Young, Gin
satiate archer! could not one suffice?" Thun-
ders of applause.
General Crossman feel that am
amongst band OF brothers. Ever since we
traversed this splendid structure, 1 feel that
each one of you is across man! Beautifhlll
His Honor the Mayor, for the third time-I
cheerfully reciprocate our friend Cheeseman's
remarks. We are indeed happy family.
Around me are our city fathers; above us il
our Oldest. sun; the engineers have furnished
us with the requisite data-Ipronounced dar-
ter for this occasion only.] At my side stands
our fayorite Kneass tniece;l and /, myself.
(aying his hand over the cardiac region, with
all his inimitable grace je sa.is votre Mayor
lnaereI bridge trembled with applause.l
or course there are but a few specimen
bricks. Time and space fail, or we would give
more of these sparkling chunks of wit.

Nor A CHRISTIAN, BUT A BAGGAaE-MAs-
TEa.-The Nashville (Tenn. Republican says
that an accident recently happened to train
on the Atlantic and Great Western railroad
The baggage-master sat in his car reading at
the time, but perceiving by the motion of the
car that great danger was threatened, he at
nately caught between two boxes and badly
damned. He was taken out in an nsensible
condition, and being laid upon the ground, an
attempt was made to revive him, which prov
ed successful. As he opened his eyes to a
consciousness of things, clergyman stepped
out from the circle which surrounded him, to
offer prayer for his complete restoration. He
kneeled down by the side of the victim. but,
before proceeding with his work of mercy, he
inquired, "Are you Christian? "No, sir, !"
as emphatic as his weak condition would al
low, "I'm baggage-master on the Atlantic
and Great Western Railroad"

AN ANCIENT TURrLE.-Mr. Chauncey
Loomis of Bloomfield, Connecticut, recently
found box turtle on his farm, which is prob
ably centenarian. His father, Mr.. Jacob
initials and the date-"J. L. 1793"-upon the
lower shell of this same animal, and then let
him go. Later, in 1917, he was captured by
Harry Cornis Of Bloomfield, and the initials

Mr.. Loomis Both marks were as plain and
distinct as when they were first cut. One OF
the same species was recently taken from the
top of Simsbury mountain by neighbor of
Mr.. LOOMS, who marked it and left it ON his
farm. Shortly after, the turtle marked with
tain again, having crawled that distance at its
slow pace from some attachment, probably, to
the locality.

PENITENTIARY.s

Mn EprToR ~ furnish. you 9 copy
Of Senate Bill, No.s60, session OF 500
$50 to establish a Penitentiafy IN TINS
state, which i hope you will publish IN
the Pioneer. and that the other papers
n the State will please copy, in order
hat the attention of the people through
out the State may be called to that sub
iect.-The principal objections urged
against the passage of the bill were,
want of means, and that the question
had not been discussed before the .peo-
ple. Therefore, members hesitated about
voting on the subject without some IN
structions from their constituents.
The bill was prepared to obviate the
first objection. so far as it could be
done. by requiring most of the labor to
be performed by convicts themselves.
This Communication and publication OF
the bill, is designed to relieve members
of the next Legislature from the other
objection, by calling on their constltu-
ents in all parts of the State to speak
out on that subject either for or against
Penitentiary. L do not propose to ar
que the question at this time, one way
or the other, nor claim any particular
merit for this particular plan, but mere
ly to direct public attention to sub
iect that regard as Of vast Importance
to the whole State, hoping that If this
plan is not practicable, that some better
one may he devised by the wise men
of the State. :.
Although I have promised not to dis
cuss the question, l am scarcely refrain
from suggesting to those who doubt the
propriety of a State Penitentiary, that
if they will examine the State dockets
| for true bills and presentments made oy
the grand iuries for single term OF the
court, they will agree that we need
something to restrain our people from
crime. Then the punishment for crime
might be better graded. l believe
man is subjected to SO lashes on the
bare back, for stealing q pocket knife,
and the same punishment for stealing a
horse..If we had State Penitentlary,
| presume the punishment for horse
stealing would be for much longer ser
vice than for that of a pocket knife ; and
so of manslaughter, and almost all
crimes have their grades, and could be
punished more equitably, and more hui
namely, and generally with better re-
suits, by confinement at labor, than by
branding and whipping, as is now done
in this State.
The city and county warehouses that
this bill proposes to authorize, is already
disposed of by the passage ofthe county
work-house bill is reported by the Com
missioners on the Freedman's code.
The question of a Penitentiary or no
Penitentiary for the State is what wish
to call public attention to at present,
disconnected with party and party poll
tics altogether.
Yours, &c,
L. S. CASH.
P. S.-This bill failed to pass the
Senate by only two majority against it.
