SPANISH PRTsoNs.-The details depict ing the horrors of Spanish prisons, says the letter of correspondent, would oc- cupy much more space than is allotted me in your columns, were they not, indeed, too revolting to be narrated. Imagine low, long, dark, narrow halls, crowded past excess with living, restless masses of humanity, personating crime, sorrow
 remorse, revenge, despair and doubt, without any one redeeming element of redemption, reform, or regeneration. Imagine that each one of these half naked, hungry human beings is in state of flthiness inconceivable, infested with every possible variety of vermiu, since baths are unknown Tn such regions and wash-basins as we'll. Imagine that the only admonitlons ever addressed to the criminals are the orders of the overseers, accompanied by threats, oath, insults and blows, security from retaliation, being made sure by the revolvers with which the jailors are aided, and the con. stant presence of Q detachment of mill
 tary force. Imagine the fetid emanations from such place, the constant brawlt of the prisoners, the shouts of the ovep seers, and the deafening clanking of the immense chains with which many art loaded, and some faint idea will be form
 ed of the interior of Spanish prison.

".SO the Story Goes.

Twas snee upoA summer day
 Co the story goss-~ The Franklins daughter chaneed to stray
 Where the mlll-stream flows. And as the rustic bridge she crossed
 So the story goes Over the rail she stopped, and lost
 From her breast rose. The stream ran fast, the stream ran strong So the story goes And on it's waters bore along
 The cheerless maiden's rose, The miller's son stood by the bank
 So the story goes He stopped the wheel; and, ere it sank,
 Caught up the maiden's rose. Then in his cap he placed the flower
 So the story goes And boldly to the maiden's bower
 He hied at daylight's close. "Is tLis thy flower, sweetheart2" he cried So the story goes The maiden blushed, the maiden sighed,
 "Oh! give me back my rose." " Two fowers," he said, "so sweet and fair'- So the story goes "'Twas shame to part-one breast should bea ThyseH and this red rose.' What more the youth and maiden said,
 That summer eve, who knows? But he kept the flower and won the maid So the story goes.

A FALSE AnARM.-During the siege of Gibraltar, in the absence of the fleet, and when an attack was daily expected, one dark night, a sentry whose post was near the Devils Tower, and facing the Span ish lines, was standing at the end of his walked, whistling, looking towards them, his head filled with nothing but fire and sword miners, breaches, storming and bloodshed! By the side of his box stood deep, narrow necked earthern jug, in which was the remainder of his supper, consisting of boiled peas.
 A large monkey, encouraged by the mans silence, and allured by the smell of the peas, ventured to the jug, and in endeavoring to get at it's contents, thrust his head so far into the neck as to be un- able to withdraw it. At this instant the soldier turning round, came whistlna toward his box the monkey, unable to get clear of it, started up to run off with the jug sticking on his head. ..-
 This terrible apparition no soone, saluted the eyes of the sentry, than his fHantic imagination converted poor pug into fine, blood thirsty Spanish grena dier, with most tremendous high caE on his head. Full of this dreadful idea he instantly fired his piece, roaring ou that the enemy had scaled the walls The guard took the alarm, the drums were beat, signal guns fired, and in les than ten minutes the governor and hi whole garrison were under arms.
 The supposed grenadier, being yer, much incommoded by his cap, ant almost blinded by the peas, was sool overtaken and seized, and by his captur the tranquility of the garrison was re stored without that slaughter and blood shed which every man prognosticated il the beginning of the direfu1 alarm.

 THE ALABAMA CLA1Ms.-The S,ciss Times says it is in position to confirm the news, that the Tribunal had decided in favor of the United States in the case of the privateer Flerida. The ground upon which the decision was based was that the British Government failed to use sufficient precautions to prevent the departure of the vessel from English psrts. The Tunes also confirms the de- tails of the dispatch referring to the rejection of the claims for depredations committed by the smaller Confederate cruisers, the reason for which was that negligence of the British Government was not proven in those cases. The Indepe1odance Beige states that the awards in the cases of the Florida and Alabama, will together amount to el, 800, ,OOO sterl ing.

A STORY OF BEEcHER. follow ing story is told of Henry Ward Beecher by one of his sisters. He was about eleven years old, and was attending school. The teacher was drilling her pupil in the rudiments of grammar, but he seemed fonder of fun than stud y. " Now, Henry" said she, "A is the in definite article, you see, and must be used only with the singular number. You can say ( a man,, but you can't say a men, can you?" "Yes, can say amen, too" was the rejoinder. "Father says it always at the end of his prayers. " Come, Henry, don't be joking; decline 'he." "Nominative he, possessive his. objective him." "You see, 'his' is pos sessive. Now you can say his book, but you cannot say 'him book" "Yes, I do say hymn book, too," said the impracticable pupil, with a quizzical twinkle. Each one of these sallies made his young teacher laugh, which was the victory he wanted. ''But now. Henry, seriously, just attend to the active and passive verb. Now, T strike is active you see, because if you strike you do something. But, I am struck is pas, sive, because if you are struck you don't do anything, do you?" "Yes, I do; ] strike back again" ...

A Delightful Surprise.-Ladies whose faces are cloudsd by superficial discolorations, and who have resolved 10 try HAGAN's MAGNOLIA BALM as a remedy have no idea of the welcome surprise they will receive from their mirrors after few appica- tions of that healthful purifier of the complexion If at all exciable they will scream with rapture on beholding the change ; whether the blemish it is desired to remove be salowness, blotches, pimples freckles, roughness, or an unnatural pallor, 1t is bound to disappear under the tonic operation of this wonderful agent To say that the blemish dsap. pears does not, however, convey any idea of the effect produced by this celebrated beautiier.

WHAT A LITTLE CARE1EssNEss DID, To show how serious confagration may spring from small cause, the great oil fire on Hunters Point is given. A river barge received two thousand bar rels of refined oil, and was preparing to leave. The Captains wife was arrang- ing the beds in the cabin aft, when some of the clothes came in contact with the stove and ignited. The woman with her two children rushed on deck and got ashore. Before the alarm had been properly given the boat with the oil was in flames. A German boat near by with 1,600 bbls. on board caught fire, and from this the flames spread to barges, sheds, and to the oil works themselves, making complete wreck of them, de- stfoying an immense amount of prop erty, and throwing hundreds of men out of endowment,

WHAT THE LIBERALS MAY EXPECT.

LETTER FROM THE LIBERAL CANDIDATE FOR
GoYERNOR-A CANDID STATEMENT OF THE
SITUATION.
My DEAR SIR: Our canvass is now as COM
plete as we can make IT, but the doubtful votes
large that it is impossible predict the result with any
certainty Many towns report 10 per cent, and nearly
all per cent, Of the entire vote as doubtful have
looked the returns carefully and have come to the
following conclusion That shall reduce the Radical
majority Of 1868 about 10000 You will by referring
to that the Radicals carried the State in 1868
by 1890 majority a. vote Of 1317OO estimate the
vote this year at l2SOOO and think we shall throw
less than 6OOoO leaving their majority about 5000
II 900 less than In 6s In this estimate do not claim
any portion Of the doubtful votes If we get onehalf
one-third Of them it will reduce the majority still more,
unless the vote is larger than estimae but am by
no means sanguine OF getting many Of the doubtful
votes indeed shall not Ibe surprised our opponents
not only get the doubtful votes, but many
who do not now claim to be doubtful,
as they have Iplenty Of money and speakers,
and are making skful Of all the party appliances
10 get all the doubtful and reclaim as many posi-
BILE of the voters who openly declared for Greeley
and Brown.
Our opponents claim majority of 1900 votes but
do not think they expect to get more than from 5000 10
10000 and they cannot expect that unless they think
they can reclaim many who have openly declared
against them.
We have done all we could in an honorable way and
are all hopeful that we shall dsappont friends in
other sections of the country and certainly shall not
they expect much of us We are confident
shall reduce their majority OF 1868 land this is the only
for years. from 1900 TO l2ooo II we do
either it will show change sufficient TO carry onethird
more States than need ~ elect Mr.. Greeley With
these results shall feel that friends In all parts OF
the country shonld be satisfied With kndest regards
remain yours with esteem. {. =. KIHBALL.
