FROM THE DRY ToRTUGAs.-A letter re-
ceived in Washington city gives the fol-
lowing rose -colored account Of the condi-
tion Of the prisoners at the Dry Tortugas.
The letter is dated Fort Jefferson, Florida,
August 18th, and says: "There are but
few prisoners here now-forty y-dve in all
and two-thirds Of them, If not more, are
United States soldiers, who have been sent
here for various crimes, principally deser-
tion. The conspirators are lodged like the
other prisoners, in the second tier of case
mates. Their quarters are cool, dry, and
airy, and command quite as pleasanta view
as there is. They manage to live pretty
we'll with their Government ratiops and
what their friends send them. Arnold
is employed as clerk and seems salts
fed. Spangler and O'Laughlin work at
their trade as carpenters. Mudd works
now in the carpenter shop and is getting
quite handy with the tools. They are all
in excellent health, but are little thinner
than is natural for them. They have the
benefit of the library, and Mudd and Ar
mold read some. On the whole, they are
much better off than they would be any,
where else. believe certainly they are
better off than any prisoners | ever saw.
A reporter of the New York Herald visit
ed the post this morning, and Mudd OK
pressed some fears that he would publish
something concerning them, and said that
they would much rather be left alone, as
they already suffered good deal from
newspaper accounts.

GAMBLING IN SARAToGA.-A society for
the suppression of gambling would find q
very wide field of operations in Saratoga
Faro, roulette, keno, and all games with
dice and cards, are in continual operation.
The gambling houses are free of access to
the public, with wide-open doors and illu.
minated parlors.
During the race week thousands of dol
lars must have changed hands through the
supposed agency Of chance. Not to speak
of the pools and betting on the races, the
euchre playing in the hotels, and the little
games of keno about the town, at least four
well-appointed gambling houses were in
full operation. The heaviest play was
perhaps at Congressman Morrissey's estab-
lishment on Matilda street, opposite the
Pavilion Hotel. The next heaviest play
was no doubt at Hill's Union Club House
which is on the grounds of the Union Ho-
tel. At these places splendid dinners
were given every night, the best liquors
were free to oil at the sideboard, and the
play often continued until the break Of
dawn.-Ne,o York Post, Augslst %.

A curious petition has been presented
to the Assembly at Melbourne, Australia,
in reference to the education bill. 1t was
from number of Chinese, and was writ
ten in Chinese characters, accompanied by
an English translation. 1t was addressed
"To the honorable and universally re-
spected gentlemen in Parliament assem-
bled, celebrating on the honorable affairs
of state in obedience to the dictates OF
heavenly reason, and for the furtherance
of the well-being Of the people" 1t then
stated that the petitioners had heard that
proposal had been submitted for estab-
fishing among the Chinese schools for in
structing them in their own and in English
letters. They felt that the proposal indi-
Gated benevolent heart and phllanthro-
pic purpose; and, approaching the pre-
sence of Parliament with "profound pros
tra;ion," they hoped that it would give
effect to this laudabre project, " seeing
that it is one that will help to show US
ignorant people that we are now to reject
the evil and prefer the good"

AN EXTENSIVE CULvERT.-PartieS are
now engaged, on city account, in con-
structipg one of the most extensive cul-
verts which has ever been attempted in
Richmond. 1t commences at the inter-
section of Cove, Baker, and Third, and
will extend diagonally through Cove to
the corner of Second and Duval streets,
and thence up Second across Duval,
Jackson, and Leigh, to Clay street. 1t
will be five feet high and three and half
wide, and its entire length, when COM
pleted, will be 1900 feet. A portion of
the excavating is done at depth of six
teen feet below the surface. The esti-
mated cost is $1,000, but it may exceed
this amount. The quantity of valuable
taxable property which will be drained by
this culyert is considerable, and the ad-
vantages of such drainage, in sanitary
point of view, are incalculable. We know
of many neighborhoods now in the city
desirable as private residences IN all re-
spects but one. There are no culVerts,
and the whole atmosphere is burthened
with an odor most sickening and intolera-
BILE. During the recent hot spell, to sit
out of doors was we'll nigh impossible
while to remain within hot room was
unbearable. We think, therefore, thai
the sooner the authorities have the entire
city provided with culyerts the greater
will be our immunity from disease, anC
the more pleasant will our thoroughfare
become at all seasons.

THE PROPER TREATMENT OF INSANITY.
The fact that Charlotte, Maximilian's
widow, IS now undergoing different treat
mcnt, while her condition is steadily i'm
proving since her return to Belgium, is
attracting the attention of those practi-
TONERS abroad who have always con-
demned the practice Of imposing solitude
upon the insane. While at Miramar, Char
lotte was left entirely to herself, and there
constantly grew worse until her life was
almost despaired Of. Since the death of
her husband, however, when the Belgian
royal family decided to take more lively
interest in the welfare of the Kings
widowed sister, the celebrated Belgian
physician, DR.. Bulkens, has subjected his
patient to different system Of treatment,
entirely opposed to that of the German
physicians who had charge of the Empress
while at Miramar. Dr.. Bulkens permits
Charlotte to associate with the rest of the
royal family, to visit places known to her
from early youth, and to spend most OF her
time in company. The effect is already
marked, for we now hear that the En-
press's convalescence, though slow, will
be steady, and that in due time her mind
may be so entirely restored as to allow the
sad fate of her husband to be communi-
Gated to her.-Ne,o York World.

THE STREET-CAR DIFFICULTI-THE AC-
CUsED SENT ON TO THE HUsTINGs COURT
The negro, Jim Brown, who was arrested
on Wednesday evening last, charged with
invading the ladies' car and with resisting
the policeman who arrested him, appeared
before the Mayor yesterday.
Sergeant Kendrick was first sworn, and
testified as follows: About o'clock We'd
nesday evening l was called upon to arrest
the prisoner, who was sitting in the ladies'
car of the street railway, then standing
near the First Market-bouse. I went and
told him to get out of the car. He refused,
and I caught hold of him, and, with the
assistance of passengers, succeeded in
getting him out Of the car, and started
with him to the station-house, he resisting
all the time. When near the station
house called upon Mr.. Page to help me.
He came to my assistance. The negro
struck at Page. I struck at but did not
strike the negro. l thought he was intoxi-
Gated.
Mr.. Charles Page was sworn, and testi-
fed that he was standing in front Of his
office on Wednesday evening, when he saw
the Sergeant taking the prisoner to the
station house, and the negro resisting him.
Went near them, when the Sergeant called
upon me to help him went up and caught
the negro by the collar, and he still resist
ing, l struck him. He then struck me.
Myself and the policeman kept our hold
on him until we got him into the station
house. All the way he was striking one
or the other Of us, and making violent eff
forts to escape. He several times at
tempted to put his hand into his pocket as
if to draw pistol. | saw pistol taken
from him in the station house, but though
| did not know he had one previously, sus-
pected it.
The Mayor read Sergeant Kendrick a
lecture about his kind-heartedness in not
striking the prisoner who had resisted him,
and also struck Mr.. Page, whom he had
called to his assistance. He quoted the
law which authorizes policeman, when a
person makes resistance to lawful arrest,
to repel force by force, and justifies the
policeman if the prisoner is unavoidably
killed in the struggle. lie told the police
men that they need not fear the interter-
ence of the Federal authorities if they
used force to repel force when arresting
the colored people.
The Mayor required Jim to give Sl5C
as security for his good behavior and ap,
pearance before the Hastings Court on the
second Monday in November to answer
the charge Of carrying concealed weapons
Jim could not produce the security, and
was sent to iail.

DESCENT OF AN ENORMOUS METEOR IN
LAKE ONTARIo.-Captain Turner, OF the
schooner Algerine, who arrived at Hamil-
ton on Friday morning (23d) reports
having witnessed, about ii o'clock on
Wednesday night, splendid phenomenon
in the descent of an immense meteor into
Lake Ontario which struck the water
not more than three hundred yards from
his vessel. The captain was standing on
the main hatch. The vessel was about
twelve miles off the Niagara lighthouse,
bearing S. S. w. Attention was attracted
bv a sndden illumination from the north
west. which almost instantly increased to
dazzling brilliancy. On turning, ne be-
held large body Of fire in the heavens,
which seemed to be approaching at de-
scent of about thirty degrees, and growing
rapidly large as it came nearer, the oDser-
vation of time being SO brief as hardly to
admit of computation in seconds.
The momentary impression of Captain
Turner was that certain destruction
awaited his vessel, as the terrific missile
seemed to be directed to strike the vessel
broadsde. The time for reflection, how
ever, was brief, aud the light emitted was
SO binding in its effect that the man at
the wheel and another Of the crew on deck
fell PROSTATE, and remained stupeted with
terror. The captain himself, as he states,
remained transfxed, and saw the fiery body
enter the water some three hundred yards
ahead Of his vessel, about two points to the
windward. A loud explosion attended
the contact with the water, which was
sharp and deafening, equal to thunder
bolt close at hand, and large volume of
steam and spray asccndcd into the air,
which was noticed for some moments after
wards. The captain estimates that the
meteor was body Of about twenty feet
in diameter. A long trail of flame of the
most intense brilliancy was noticed as 1t
struck the water.

HAMBRIcK VS.. HUsT1NGs CouRT.-Our
statement Saturday in regard to Phelan's
license was somewhat erroneous. 1t ap-
pears that license had been granted last
May, and that few months previous ne
appeared before the Mayor to answer TOR
keeping a disorderly house, and was Dy
him sent on to the Hastings Court to have
his license revoked. Phelan summoned
witnesses and employed counsel, all OF
whom were present up to the last hour OF
the court. After the business of the court
was considered over, and Phelan, wit
nesses, and counsel had departed, men,
ber of the court called the case, which was
then heard and the license revoked, al
being done in the absence of Phelan.
Under these circumstances, Phelan ap,
pealed to Lieutenant Hambrick, who issueo
the order suspendipg the execution OF the
order of the court until its next term
when the case will be heard.
