Elk SPEAKER CALLICOTT IN THE
PENITENTIARY

J. B. s. in writing up for the World
the Albany Penitentiary, gives the fol-
lowing picture of Callicott:
"Mr. Callicott, formerly Speaker OF
the New York State Assembly, is the
hospital steward OF the Penitentiary.-
HIS history, including the clrcum
stances which consigned him here, is
too we'll known to need recapitulation.
He was appointed to his present post
week after his arrival, In June, 1868,
and has conducted bimseit, as J learn
from the superintendent, without iault.
His duty is, besides attendance upon
hospital patients, to care for and Ls-
tribute the library. The library con-
sists of a thousand volumes, some three
hundred of which are continually absent
from the shelves. When entered the
hospital Mr.. Callicott was seated be-
hind table at the further end, with
his head bent over large open book,
shielding his face with his hand. lie
did rot alter his position, or change
the place of limb, and am told that
this partial masking of himself is his
habitual custom when visitors are pre-
sent. The superintendent speaks of his
philosophy, and intelligence, his we'll
controlled temper. and captivating
manner. He has two daughters, who
are at school in Canada. He appears to
be chiefly concerned in their behalf,
and is affected by any allusion to them.

D. II. MILLER, ESQ.

Abiding to the recent visit Of the
Danville and Eynchburg R. r. delega-
ton to Baltimore, the Editor OF the
Virginiaa says:
In this connection, we take pleasure
in acknowledging the hospitable atten-
ton shown the delegation, and the eff
cient service rendered them by MIR. d.
IL. Miller, of Baltimore, himself q menu
Der of the Board of Trade, and former
ly, of the City Council.
Mr.. Miller is an extraordinary man.
Engrossed as he has been from boyhood
by the cares of an immense business, he
has nevertheless found time to make
himself master of geology, mineralogy
and the cognate branches of ply steal
science. "A pretty little cabinet of
minerals graces one of his parlours.-
He has in high degree the talent of an
artist. We have seen some humorous
sketches of his which would do no dis
credit to ! Leech or Gavarni. Being
bantered one day about his talents in
this lire, he replied that he believed he
could handle the chisel as we'll as the
pencil. This was hootcd at. Where
upon he set to work upon a piece of
marble and in a short time produced a
statuette bust of Mrs. NJ, which was so
well executed that the likeness was at
once recognised by all the acquaintance

GREELEY ON CHANDLER

The New York Tribune expresses its
"utter dissent" from the wild PROPOSE
ton of the Michigan Senator Chandler,
that our newly appointed minister go
to London witha demand in the one
hand and threat in the other:
ave do not believe that the proper
spirit in which to conduct this peSotia-
ton is one of buster or threatening.
We do not believe that it is desirable
to- approach an ancient empire, rs
proud as she is still powerful, with the
notice that she must settle promptly,
on our terms, In thirty days, or fight
fos her possessions, which we are quite
capable of taking, in thirty more, with
the volunteers from a single one of our
States.

the new minister will forget that. after
all, the English are of the same blood
with ourselves, and that because they
are, they must not lie bullied. We all
know that Great Britain is too proud a
nation to be coerced by unworthy fears.
Let us not forget that the United
States is too great nation to fail in
securing justice, and too absolutely as
sured of her power to secure it, to be
guilty of the buster and bravado which
characterize only the weak"
