AN OLD LANDMARK GoNE.-The old Jail, the
terror of evildoers, which has stood since 1862 on
the corner of Court and Taylor streets, is now
numbered among the things that were. On last
Thursday it was torn down, and thus one of the
most prominent of all the reminders of old times
in Trinity has passed out of sight. AS we stand
viewing the timbers of which it was built, we
in Imagination again see the jailor at the door,
hear the grating of the bolt as the key is turned,
aud smell tue sickening odor that is emitted as
the door swings open on its creaky hinges. That
old iron door Yes, there it lies. After having
served so long as barrier to those who had
committed outrages in our midst and had been
called upon to atone to the offended law, it is
now cast aside. Twas this same door that
opened when Feeley and Wise were led forth to
the scaffold. Before this door, Thomas Knowles
and Joseph Stephens required to pay the
penalty for having deprived fellowbeng Of
life, and were here hung by their necks until
they were dead dead dead. From here many
passed, in accordance with the mandates of the
Court on their way to San Quentin, there to pass
more or less years in penal servitude as punish
ment for their crimes and misdemeanors. Could
those old walls, now dismembered only speak,
they might tell some very sorry tales of murder
GUS vows of vengeance made by some of the
prisoners confined therein, and of men who had
in all sincerity repented their past lawlessness
and formed ardent resolves, probably only to be
forgotten, that they would turn over leaf
and try to be better men when they were again
set at liberty. But the old Jail is gone, and that
it ever existed will probably soon be forgotten, ex-
cept perhaps to some Of the poor unfortunates yet
alive who were required to take up temporary
residence within its walls, and there had ample
time to mediate upon the bad effects of corrupt
associations and the folly of their evil deeds.
In different cracks between the logs of which
the old structure was built, were found, in
place two small-sized fles in another two
edged dirk knife with the handle rotted off, and
In another paddock key, undoubtedly hidden
there by prisoners who had hoped to have an
opportunity of using them to aid in making an
escape, but the hoped-tor opportunity not pre-
Senting ITSELF these instruments were allowed to
remain and rust where they were hidden. The
hewn logs of which the Jail was built, although
so long exposed to wind and weather, when taken
down found to be in perfect state of pres
ervation, and although a few escapes were made
from this old prison where law-breakers were held
in durance vile, it generally served its purpose
we'll We are not certain but that, when it was
torn down, it was not better and safer Jail than
the one which the county will hereafter be com
PEELED to use The lot heretofore occupied by
this old building has been enclosed by neat
picket fence, and the general appearance of that
part of town is greatly improved thereby

The Jews.

Since Disrieli published his sI1
THAR" men belonging to his religion
have OF late years accomplished i'm the
way OF literature and journalism. And
without going back to Heinrich Heine.
and bis time, some five-and-thirty
years ago, the result Of their investioa-
tion has been, that also at the present
time the Jews stand foremost In tbs
cause Of liberty, OF conscience, the
progress Of free opinion, and the an
tagonism, well considered and careful
iy reasoned out, to clerical and reac.
tiOnqry influences. This is more par
ticularly the case I'm Italy, and the
press of Florence and Rome al the
present moment presents very curl
Gus spectacle, which is, TO greater or
less extent, carried out also in all the
other chief centres of political life in
Italy. The patriarch of italian journ-
alism. Giaceno Dina, the editor of the
Florence OpinioHc, is ali Israelite and
the ablest representative of the liberal
press in Rome, Edward Arbib, belongs
to the same creed. The editor OF the
NuoUd Roma, the famous liberal Ro-
man journal, NJ. Carlo Levi, is, as the
name sufficiently indicates, a Jew also.
The most accomplished critics oi
bellies tettres, Alessandro d'Ancona, Of
Pisa, and Luigi Camerini, of Milan,
are both Jews; and yet these are only
very few of the most distinguished
Jewish writers ON the italian press. -

Fashion Chit.Chat.

The few respectable ladies who have
been induced to indOrse the revival oi
the nuisance of having street dresses
made to trail few inches upon the
pavement, have become heartily sick,
tired, and ashamed of their folly, and
in. many instances have had their
handsome suits remodeled to reach
but not TO touch the ground, thus
compromising with what is supposed
to be ultra fashion-but is, in reality
merely the whim of few fast women
and their convenience. They had
forgotten that modern walking
dress is not like the old-fashioned
straight skirt--that it can neither be
cut Off, nor let down, nor breadth
taken out, nor any of the easy meth
DDS adopted which We're employed to
rejuvenate the dress skirts OF twenty
years ago. Tie present walking suit
or costume is very complicated affair
and Ole part cannot be altered with
out changing the design of the Whole.
1t is costly, also, and therefore all the
more desirable that it should preserve
its freshness and purity as loug as pos
sible, for even wealthy ladies do not
want to pay from $75 to $3.50 for a
suit every day. This is not at all an
exaggerated statement of the cost of
silk suits and costumes at the "ready
made" houses; on the contrary, it is
under the highest figures. OF course
when the materials are bought and
placed in the hands of a first-rate ar
tjst, to be made up to order, the cost
is less and the result more satisfactory;
but the figures will serve to show that
the charges at great outfitting houses
are less out of proportion to actual
cost than might be at first supposed.
White toilets and black toilets are as
much worn as ever-the former in
linen and pique, guipure embroideries,
for walking dresses, and also in French
muslin and Victoria lawn, Tor house
and evening wear. White French
muslin, richly trimmed with Vallen-
ciennes lace, and worn over the new
cameo and tinted silks, composes the
freshest and loveliest of costumes

much older than those which grow
upon more fertile soil. Their barren
ness prevented the agricultural mound
builders from settling in them, and but
few of then remains are found upon
the streams of these poor lands. In
Virginia and Mississippi, where have
had the best opportunities for making
careful and protracted observations,
red and white oaks, and several other
of the larger varieties of forest trees,
attain their greatest size in fifty years.
In my fathers yard, in Virginia,
red and white oak grew, each Of
which was nearly ten feet in circum-
ference, and both of them were less
than fifty years old After that age
they usually show signs of decay.
They become hollow and die at the
top, the limbs wither and break off,
and the brittle tree falls to the earth OF
