LIFE IN LIBBY.

The Bright Side Of Prison Rxistenee-A
| Lecture By Chaplain McCabe.
We copy the following from the New
York Herald:
The Rev. C. C. McCabe, Familiarity known
as chaplain" McCabe, told = large
audience in the Second street Methodist
Episcopal church, last evening, something
about bright Days in Libby Prison"
Probably not one Of his auditors had any
idea that such body of half-starved Union
soldiers as were gathered for time into
the prison pens Of the South could have
had . bright day: but, from the chaplains
showing, there were many such days in
Libby. One Of them was when Grant took
the second floor OF Libby, ON that fourth of
July, discovered among themselves q red,
blue and a white shirt, which they tore into
strips and made flag of, and suspended it
from the rafters, and celebrated the
nations birthday as it had never been cele-
brated there.
But their joy was married when a rebel
sergeant, with his guard. entered and tore
it down. Another bright day was when
the news of Mead's great victory at Gettys-
burg reached their ears. But besides these
there were many days which the chaplain,
while he had strength and health. made
bright with songs of hope and heaven. Soon
after his entrance into that dungeon, the
rebel c0mmissary, Warren, found him out,
and acknowledged great debt of gratitude
to the chaplain's mother, and for her sake
showed him and his comrades great kind
ness. He furnished them such books at
cost as the men desired, including the prin-
cipal part of u law library which had been
sold Mt auction, and with which the forty
lawyers who were in prison organized q law
school, and established mock courts.
Glasses were also organized in English.
French, German, Spanish, Italian and
Greek and there was one Hebrew scholar
and teacher combined among them.
When the controversy about the exchange
of prisoners was at its height, and the Con-
federate government had threatened death
to every Union officer found in command of
colOred troops, the prisoners day after day
debated the question whether the federal
government was right or wrong in refusing
an exchange while an exception was made
to any of its officers and men. The weight
of the arguments were for the right, and as
the chaplain was borne out of the prison to
be exchanged, one of the officers called out
to him: "Tell Old Abe not to back down ON
our account" and the message was after
ward delivered to President Lincoln. At
the close Of the lecture Chaplain McCabe,
by request, sang some Of the songs which
the Union men in Libby were won't to sing
in the darkest days, such as ..Our God is
Marching On" 1.-THE Trundle Bed" 'The
Sword Of Bunker Hill" and Miles O'Reilly's
"Old Canteen." closing with a dox0lOgy, as
he called it, from the "Star Spangled Ban
ner"

Mr.. Thomas Gill, veteran newspaper re-
porter who died in Boston week or two
ago, in his lifetime was very fond of Joke.
and possessed q keen sense of humor. The
Washington Chronicle gives an amusing in
stance Of his drollery. The Hon. Robert
RantOul, Jr., was delivering to an immense
audience an Grafton at q celebration ON
Bunker Hill, in the course of which he
described with great pathos and effect the
famous battle which had occurred on the
very spot where they were assembled. As
he resumed bis seat Gill, who was seated
near him, carelessly remarked, my father
Rantoul Immediately sprang to his feet and
announced this fact, whereupon there were
vehement calls from the crowd for the son
OF the revolutionary hero. Mr.. Gill mod
estly rose, and, after acknowledging the
vociferous cheers which greeted him.
quietly informed his hearers that it was
true that his father was in the battle Of
Bunker Hill, but-he was fighting ON the
other side! The scene that followed ssbeg.
CARED description" Mr.. Gill was an En.
glishman by birth, and one Of the frat nro-
fesslonal reporters who came to America.

AN AFFECTING SCENE.
A Judge Seneencing IN OLD 6choelmase q
be HANGED.

A Judge Sensencing IN OLD scheelmase to
BE Hanged.
From the Memphis Suns account Of the sentence
of the Cuba murderer.
Judge Flippin then spoke a. follows:
Samuel H. POstOn, this is one of the sad
dest eras in my life. Our parents and
their children knew each other. We grew
same church, and played on hill and in val
ley the same innocent games in boyhood.
Years have passed since then. Our roads
in life have diverged. You now stand con-
victed Of q great, q capital crime, and l, as
the minister of the law, have imposed upon
me the painful duty of passing upon you the
sentence Ofdeath. Were it consistent with my
official duties, ! would that this cup could
pass from me- But cannot now shrink
from the performance of. this sad official re-
quircment, and must not, and will not. in
the future, though other victims NAV fall.
to avenge violated law. 1t is, therefore,
the sentence Of the court that you be re-
manded to the county Jail OF Shelby county,
the place from whence you came, to he there
securely kept until Friday, the twenty sixth
day OF May next, when you will be taken by
the sheriff of Shelby county. between the
hours of 10 A. NJ. and p. NJ, within one
mile and a half of the courthouse of said
county, and then to be hanged by the neck
until you are dead, and may God have
mercy on your SOUL" rl
When POston was called, both the Judge
and Poston were very much moved. Post0n
shook like an aspen leaf, and had to grasp
chair for support. At the conclusion of the
sentence, Jhdge Flippin was in tears, as was
also nearly all the large crowd gathered
there. 1t was most affecting scene, and
messed it. 1t was q surprise to know the
relation that had existed in early childhood
between Judge Flippin and Poston, and it
must have indeed been y sad thing for
Judge Flippin to consign to death the play
mate of his early boyhOod.

The SINGER IMPROVED Fanny SEWING
MAcHINE.-As time goes on, and new sew
ing machines are constantly being invented,
1t Is interesting to note the fact that while
it was among the. first to be invented, the
singer sewing machine still holds its place
IN the front rank, and that nothing yet has
been conceived which throws it in the shade.
Anis Is truly remarkable fact, and it would
appear, judging from this, that Mr.. Singer
had really struck perfection, and that the
human mind was incapable OF cenceiving
anything superior. We look upon it as
one Of the great mechanical triumphs of
the age, while it is universally acknowl-
edged to be one of the greatest blessings to
the poor working woman yet given her
through kind Providence.

ST.. LOUIS, April 5.-The committee on
the workings Of the "social evil license
law reported to the Board of Health, last
night, that the number of prostitutes has
decreased in eight months, under the law,
from ZIG to 4sO; many of the poorest have
been driven from the city, others have pre-
ferred reformation, and are trying to lead
honest and industrious lives, and it is un-
doubtedly true that more of them would
do SO if there was some way provided bv
which they could earn an honest living. x
very decided improvement is reported in
the general sanitary condition of these
women since the law took effect.

The line of stars represents an interval of

Aarkiss was found one morning hanging to

suspect NO innocent person of having any
thing to do with his death, for that It was
the work Of his own hands entirely. Ye.

that deceased camc to his death ''by the
hands of some person or persons un-
knowav
They explained that the perfectly unde-
waiting consistency of Markiss' character
for thirty years lowered al0ft az colossal
and indestrhctible testimony that whatever
statement he chose to make was entitled to
instant and unquestioning acceptance AZ
. lie. And they furthermore stated their
belief that he was not dead, and instanced
the strong circumstantial evidence of his
own word that he was dead-and be-
seeched the coroner to delay the funeral as
long as possible, which was done. And 60
in the tropical climate of Lahainia the
coffin stood open for seven days, and then
even the loyal jury gave him up. But they
sat on him again, and changed their verdict
to .'suicide induced by mental alteration"
because, said they, with penetration, he
said he was dead, and he was dead; and
would he bave told the truth if he had been
in his right mind No, sir."-AprI GALAXY.
