| A Prison ROMANCE. Every prison has its
romance, and that of the Penitentiary of Kings
ton, Canada, is worth recounting. In 1912,
near Toronto, the serving man Of a Captain
Kinnear murdered his master to obtain a sum
I of money which was in the house. After kill.
ing him the wretch also slew the housekeeper
| He was arrested, and at his trial implicated d
girl of fifteen, named Grace Marks, who was
| living in the house, as an accomplice, alleging
| that she knew of the murder of the master be-
fore that of the housekeeper took place. Her
story was that he threatened her with death il
she gave the alarm; but, as she had been On
intimate terms with the murderer, it was dis
credited. He was hanged and she sen fenced
to the Penitentiary for life. Almost thirty
years have since elapsed, and she is still a pri-
| soner, no more blooming girl, but an old
woman, pale, sad, silent, prematurely gray.
From time TO time some newspaper correspon-
dent visiting the institution, hears and pub
fishes her story. There is talk of petition
for her release. People say It's strange, It's
passing strange, It's pitiful, It's wondrous
pitful and then the matter dies away. Even
if this woman were guilty, lifetime of i'm
prisonment might be held to have assuaged her
crime, and she might be set free to die. There
would be little else for her TO do in this
world. Where she lived, and the cry of muir
der went up, are now acres of brick and NOR
tar and miles of dusty streets. Her kindred
are dead, her crime forgotten and her very
existence and history are unfamiliar. To such
a one Il late mercy might be shown.

head of long and heavy black hair Her height
is five feet three inches, and when she is stand
ing erect her hair falls to her feet and trails
fully quarter of yard on the floor. 1t is
seventy-fve inches in length. Here indeed,

has she of chgnoDs, braids, nor of fronts nor
of tricopherous compounds and Eve herself,
the primal and perfect woman, had probably
no greater wealth Of tangled charms -Ex.

Chicago and the South.

Esteemed Ladies-In response to your re-

the shrinking deicacy and pride of the

appreciate that lofty sense Of chivalric propri-

port of your enterprise a currency which is
opposed in all respects to greenbacks.

VIRGINIA Losses BY THE WAR.-Mr Camp
bell, one of the West Virginia commissioners,
writes letter from Richmond to the Wheeling
InteHyencer. After referring to the convention
of 1871, the ordinance Of secession and the
incidents and feelings connected with its pas
sage-the then condition of Virginia and its
present, he says;
"This contrast between the past and pre-
sent Of Virginia brings me to speak of her as |
see ana hear of her from my present stand
point. Her losses by the war become more
apparent as time passes on, and in their enor-
nous extent have no parallel save in the coun-
try France TO which | have Just compared
her. 1t is not an exaggerated estimate 10 say
that her losses, direct aud indirect, foot up an
amount equal to at least one half of the pre-
sent entire debt of the National Government
She lost half million of slaves worth sa,
four hundred millions of dollars She los
%, 900 square miles of territory worth say
another hundred millions of dollars. And il
| deprecated and destroyed agriculture, manu-
features and commerce, she lost say three Oh
| four hundred millions more. And hand in
hand with these frightful losses, her debt ha!
gone on steadily increasing until it is nov
close upon fifty millions of dollars Such {
debt naturally entails high taxation

THE CHINESE JUGGLERs 0UTpoNE.-In Chapel
district, Talbot county, Nd there resides a
man named Dill, whose feats with the broad
axe are astonishing. Some time ago, in the
presence of several gentlemen, he threw his
axe some distance and stuck it in a log
Drawing out the axe, he told man present to
stick graiif of corn in the cut and he would
throw again aud split the grain of corn open.
The corn was put in the place he threw again
and split it opea. A gentleman standing by
believing it a chance throw, said he would
give him dollar if he could do it again. lie
threw again, split open the grain of corn and
pockeIed the dollar. second and third dol
lar was won in the same way. The man with
tue greeHbacks finding that Dill was throw ing
on certainty, drew off. Dill then stuck an
eight-penny nail in the end of log, threw at
it, and drove it up to the head with the eye Of
the axe. This was too much for the excitable
nan with the dollars, who said, I'll give you
another dollar if you will do that again The
nail was put in the place; Dill threw, drove
it up again, and pocketed the dollar. The
greenback man ventured another dollar and
lost. Having lost five dollars, he came to the
conclusion that the expert axeman was too
much for him, and let him slide.

WAN ON DRINKING HOUSES The Grand
Lodge Of Good Templars of Maryland hns had
prepared memorial TO which 1t is said they
expect TO receive about twenty thousand sig
natures in the city and State, asking of the
! Legislature the passage OF a general law to
enable the qualified voters of any ward or dis
trict, 10 determine by ballot, whether drink
ing houses may or may not be licensed within
said districts, under existing law and in all
districts voting against such license to pro-
hbit the sale of such drinks except for medi-
cinal or mechanical purposes. The memorial
alleges that "milions of dollars are annually
spent by the people Of Maryland for intoxicat-
ing drinks !" that Tower ten thousand citizens
Of Maryland annually die the drunkard' 8
| death !" THAT it is the direct cause of nearly
all the vice and crime committed in the State )
&c. The memorials are being signed in du-
plicate form, one copy to be presented to the
House and the other to the Senate on the as
scmblng OF the Legislature. Persons inter-
ested are directed to apply to the Grand
Worthy Secretary os Good Templars of the
State, Me-. Robert f. Ross, from whom blank
forms can be procured.-Bah. Gaz.
SALE BY SAMpLE.-The U. S. Supreme Court
on the 9th inst, decided case of much mer-
camille interest-the right of selling by sample
by unlicensed non-residents. The question
came up upon appeal from Baltimore where
the defendant had been convicted !; the Court
ruling that the State law forbidding such
transactions was consistent, since Congress has
no power of regulating the internal traffic of
any State. The plaintiff appealed from this
decision on the ground that the Maryland law
clashes with that control of commercial af-
fairs that was entrusted by the several States
10 Congress in the Constitution, and at the
same time dlscriminates injuriously between
the citizens of different States The Maryland
decision was sustained thus establishing the
legality Of laws everywhere forbidding sale by
sample BY non-residents without license.
