On the lips Of the psrishiug flowers;

For the deeds that mark with a royal stamp.

As the winds ye freight to its crispen leaves,

LOUISIANA PENITENTIARY.

tail the affairs connected with thu
general condition and management
of the prison.
A description is given Of the nu
merous repairs and improvements tt
the buildings, accomplished under
many serious drawbacks in the way
of want of sufficient funds and ma
terials.
Owing to the high bids for hauling
the machinery belonging to the
prison from Clinton, The Board has
succeeded in effecting only to par
tial extent as yet, a removal Of the
same, consisting mainly of boilers,
engines, looms, cards, shafting and
hangers. ......... -........
The shoe department, under the
careful superintendent Of Mr.. Louis
kondert, has made rapid and salts
factory progress. The total number
Of shoes made during the past year.
was 6,ISS pairs, which at tho whole
sale price, amount to S12,376. The
cost of material averaged 81 90 per
pair, which could be greatly reduced
by the manufacture of leather within
the prison walls. The establishment
Of tannery is therefore proposed.
45o,52O bricks were sold at $S
per thousand, and few thousand of
re-pressed, for pavements a, Sl2 per
thousand. A large quantity Of the
brick made were used in repairs and
in rebuilding the first story of the
Factory.
The Report alludes to the esti-
mate made by Messrs. James McVay
and f. M. Young, architects. of the
amount of damage sustained by the
State Buildings at Baton Rouge dur
ing the Federal occupation - of
which amount the sum requisite for
n complete restoration Of the State
Capitol aud its furnishing, is set
down al $199,c96. This estimate,
the Board suggests, could be largely
reduced by having the brick for the
work manufactured at the Peniten-
tiary and by having the convicts
perform large proportion Of other
labor necessary to said work.
Under proper regulations some
forty-fve convicts were furnished to
the Baton Rouge, Crosse Tete and
Opelousas Railroad Company to, aid
in restoring the road of that Com
pany to it's former condition. Con
vict labor was also supplied to the
city Of Baton Rouge for securing
Front street. The amount paid in
each case was fifty cents per day for
each prisoner.
The dietary and sanitary condi-
tons Of the prisoners are well cared
for and they are reported as being
generally very quiet, obedient and
docile. Their religious and literary
wants are also supplied.
The executive officers Of the
prison, consisting Of a Clerk, Chief
Warden and Captain of the Guard,
each receive $4,000 per annum
There are two lieutenants receiving
each salary Of $500; physician,
three chaplains, each 1888.
and custodian of the machinery at
Clinton, $500 per annum. There
are eleven regular guards, each of
whom receive $50 per month. Su-
pernumerary guards are employed
when required
The sum Of S6O,O34 was realized
and expended out of the two appro-
priations made for the Penitentiary
last year. Besides this, liabilities
due January LIST, 1867, amount to
$24,5s3 22-making total of ex-
penses for the year, of $S4,617 22.
To the credit Of the Penitentiary is
placed the total amount of $s74,OO4.-
40, which covers the estimated value
Of improvements, repairs, inventory

SINGULAR RESULTS OF A WOUND.

SINGULAR RESULTS OF A WOUND.
The Oxford (Maine) Democrat tells
the following story of n man who
lives in that State:
Samuel b. Wing, aged 80, SOL
dier, was wounded in the battle of
Spotsylyania. His right arm was
raised ut the moment, and the ball
entered near the right elbow, passed
mp and entered the right lung, where
it lodged. Ten months afterward, he
conghed up o piece of his blouse one
inch by one-half in size, and piece
OF lining one-third by three. e.quarters
inch. Two years and nine months
after he raised piece of bone three
quarter by one-cighth inch, piece
OF shirt one-quarter by three-quarter
and piece of blouse one inch by
one-eighth. He can feel the ball
sometimes in the lung now. He has
not been able to go from his room
since the wound until recently, but
is now improving in health and
gaining strength.
