Penitentiary Barbarities-The "SOl-
itary.v

An ex-convict In the Joliet 1ll.) Pen
itentiary relates, in the Chicago Times,
some of his experiences in that institu-
ton. He says:
One day was at work in the soli-
tary, when Deeming, the keeper of the
SOLITARY" brought young Collins in.
Collins was stone-cutter, belonging to
stone-shop No. 3. His offense was dis
respect or insolence to his keeper.
Young Collins was put into cell about
eight feet from where was at work,
and hung up to the "bull rings by tie
wrists. The "bull rings" are iron
rings fastened in the walls of the cell,
about as high from the floor as the
chin of an average sized man is when he
is standing straight. A pair of hand
cuffs are put through this ring, and
then fastened up to the wall in the
manner described; then gag was put
into his mouth by force. l saw the gag.
1t was about an inch in diameter, with
a strap at each end to fasten to the
back of the head. Collins resisted all
in his power to having the gag put in
his mouth, and begged them not to gag
him, but of no avail. A convict named
Skinner, who has charge of the "soli-
tary" to keep it clean, and to help
torture men, rushed IL and took hold of
Collins and held him while Deemine
fastened the gag in Collins mouth.
Deeming then locked the cell door, and
left poor Collins to suffer a living
death. A short time after Collins had
been hing up, he began to groan.
Skinner, the convict "duffer" of the
place, came to the door, and told Col
Inns to be still, or he would come in and
give him something to groan for. To
my certain knowledge, Collins hung in
those irons, with that gag in his mouth,
all that day. The next morning he was
hung up again and left all day, and the
third day the same how much longer 1
do not know, as 1 had finished my Job.
During the time that Collins was
hung up there was another young man
hung up in the cell opposite. 1 saw
Deeming let him down for the night.
The young man was so stiff and numb
from his punishment that he staggered
up against the wall of the cell. Deem
ing took hold of his collar and dragged
him around the cell, shook him, and
cuffed him, saying at the same time,
On you wake up stir around and
get some life into you"

A Tokei, Japan, correspondent of the
Boston Transcript, writing of the cele-
bration of the Mikado's birthday, in
November last, says:
In the evening dinner was given at
the Emperor's summer palace, TO the
eight foreign ministers accredited to
Japan. Terashima, formerly envoy ex-
traordinary to Great Britain, and now
Minister of Foreign Affairs, presided.
With the dessert, Sir Harry S.
Parkes, as British minister, rose and
proposed the health of His Majesty the
Emperor, which he accompanied by
neat little speech. At the close lie
called upon the French minister, re-
marking it was his turn next to speak.
The Count briefly responded, excusing
himself from speaking In English, and,
as he resumed his seat, Judge Bingham,
the United States minister, rose to.

ness to the sovereign and people of
Japan, when Sir Harry, violently in
terrupting, shut him off completely,
motioning him to sit down, and crying
out: "No more, no more y
Judge Bingham resumed his seat
gracefully, like true gentleman, but
Immediately opened lively discussion
across the table, in which Sir Harry got
very excited, contending warmly that
the sentiment was out of order, as it in
troduced politics, and was superfuous
in language, as the Emperor was the
people - but the Judge coolly informed
him that he might have heard of
church without bishop, or people
without crown, but inquired if it were
possible to have bishop without
church, or a sovereign without apeople.
When pressed for an answer. Sir Harry
reluctantly admitted it could not be,
and Immediately Judge Bingham good
naturally congratulated him on having
leone to his way of thinking"

Railway OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Suit
for Damages In England.

The question of whether railway COM
panies are bound to keep the time set down
in their timetables was raised before
Mr.. Whigham in the County Court at
Aylesbury recently. The plaintiff was
Mr. William Adams, cattle dealer, and
the defendants were the London and
Northwestern Railroad Company, as the
proprietors of the branch line between
Aylesbury and Cheddington. 1t was
shown that on the Goth of October the
plaintiff took ticket at Aylesbury for
Luton, where he ought to lave arrived
at 9:2S a. M, lii time for Luton market,
at which he was to dispose of some
beasts. The train by which he was
travelling from Aylesbury to the main
line was delayed nearly an hour, owing
to the engine being short of steam. The
consequence was he missed the train at
Cheddington, and did not arrive at
Luton till II 80 a. M, by which time
the market was over. He now claimed
10 shillings damages per head of his
beasts-thirty in number-which he did
not get sold for nine days. The want OF
steam, it appeared, arose from the fire.

There is one thing wish to say to nv
fellow-members, especially those who
are here for the first time. During the
seven years, more on, less, that have
been here, L have found that the great
fault In Congress is the self-abnegation
of its members. Let but a man point
his finger at a member of Congress. and
we are apt to shrink away from him. and
act toward him as if he must have done
some wrong, without standing by him
as an honest gentleman until his guilt Is
proven. Let single thing be said
against the acts of any member of Con-
gress, and forthwith some demaeogue-
for occasionally demagogues get in here,
as of Christ's twelve apostles one of them
had devil laughter some dema-
gogue, say, TO show that he is not
guilty of the same thing, when most
probably his conscience accuses him,
brings IN bill restraining the Congress-
man from doing the thing charged. This
has gone on for series of wears, until
Congressman is shut out from the prr-
suit of almost all kinds of business We
cannot have any interest IN a contract
that has any relation TO the Government.
We cannot practice as attorneys in the
courts in which the largest interests of
the United States are involved. The
Supreme Court is about the only one
left to US. We cannot go home and
practice in our State courts, or do any
other business, without neglecting our
public duties
The trouble is that we do not stand
together, but let the men up there
(pointing to the reporters gallery, who
live by our bounty, sit there by our in
diligence, to write diatribes against us,
and blacken us all over until the whole
world is made to believe that members
of Congress are worse than other men,
when, IN fact, we are the chosen men of
the nation, and better as a class, than
men in any other single profession

gress. we have seen he is not especially
conspicuous for his virtue any more
than his fellows. Laughter. / say
that We ought to stand here and say
Congress is not to be maligned; and if
we are maligned. let us stand together
and say that without proof the charac-
ter of no man, simply because he is
member of Congress, shall be attacked,
and the attack bounded on by his fellows
from petty envy, jealousy or rivalry.
