A Comfortable Prisoner.

"Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars cage" sang the old poet,
and the case of Mr.. John Crane of Massa-
chusetts would seem to confirm this phil
osophical view of Incarceration. Mr..
Crane, for rather loose proceedings ip a
matter of bankruptcy, was first sent 10
Fitchburg jail by the United STATES au-
thorities, and passed swo years In that
stronghold, Without beng oDllged 70
work. and JsuIng very much as he pleased.
Aftcr-ards, upon conviction Of fraud in
. otate court, Mr.. Crane was consigned
for two years to the Jail in East Cam
bridge. Here he boosted that she never
had key turned ON him." On the
ground that they were necessary to his
health, he was permitted to wear his NOUS
tache and beard, while the faces ofcommon
unfortunates were shaven as smooth as q
smelt. He had plenty of money and was
permitted to keep it in his own posses
sion. He went in and out of the building
as he pleased, and there was nothing to
prevent his going out at night if he want
ed to. He purchased what he wished to
eat and cooked it in the guard-room. He
smoked, though there was a rule against
smoking. He gave oyster suppers to the
officers. He Is said TO have had all the
wine and spirits which he wished for,
and, in the goodness of his heart, to have
supplied it TO the prisoners. An officer
who reprimanded him was threatened by
this prisoner with dismissal, and, singular
ly enough, he has since been dismissed.
This is the story as we find it, and very
queer story it is.-N. y. Tribune.

Value of Land in Great Britain.

According to Land and Water, the an
nual value of land in England and Wales
is estimated to have risen six times since
l6SS. Mr.. John mcdonnell, in his re-
Gently published book on the land ques-
ton, tells us so and that this rise has
been going on of late is proved by a glance
at the property tax returns, which show
that between 1853 and 1870 the annual
value of the rent-bearing area of the
United Kingdom increased from EAT $50, :
600 to E66, $4,000. At the same time,
even during the present century, there
have been great fluctuations in rents. Dur
ing the French war they rose enormously.
After the peace they fell ten to thirty
three per cent. Under the influence of the
Corn Laws, they again rose, to decline
shortly after those measures had been re-
pealed. From 1852 to the present time
they have steadily risen. AS to urban
land. square foot in Victoria street lets
for 81 sterling. A piece of ground in Hol-
born, boughtin 1852 for EGO, now yields
e., 900 year. A wharf in Castle Bay
nard, bought for E2 900 in 1870, lately re-
allied ell0,000. An acre of land in South
Kensington, which was sold for Go, 200 In
1852, fetched e23, $50 in 1860. We are told
that the price of an acre of the most val
liable uncovered land in the city of Lon
don, after the Great Fire In 1860, was
e3O. 900. OF about one-third of the value
when built upon. At the present time,
the highest rate for such unbuiltla land may
be taken at E1, 100000 an acre, and such
value constitutes fully three-fourths of
the value of the property after it has
buildings upon it.
