State Prison Items-The Prisoners-The

new Workshops.
Wagner, in the State Prison, awaits calmly his
fate, with the full expectation that the law will be
executed upon him. His mind is not particularly
of pious kind, but he thinks that after he is
gone the Almighty will cause the guilty individ-
ual to come forth from his hiding place and con-
Tess the dark deed; and thus, after his lips are
sealed, the world will see that he (Wsgne) was
gulltless. Hoswell is still stubborn and ugly, fat
and saucy. He still chafcs under what he calls
his unjust incarceration, and thinks it hard case
that . man can't be allowed to strike q blow for
the chastity Of his own household without being
branded as . criminal before the law. John Rog-
ers (the Brunswick John Bunyan, who thought
that the Lord had missionary labor for him TO per-
form down in the State Prison, and thus caused
him to be sent there,) thinks that his mission has
ended, and is begging for executive c'emency
that he may 60 into other and more "open" fields
of labor. The prison is kept neat and clean, the
food of the eonvicts is abundant and wholesome,
but there isn't person there but would gladly ex-
change his lot and his prison apparel with the
most disconsolate and broken-down creature that
walks the earth free man-so intense is the love
of liberty implanted in the human heart. The
new workshop is about completed, and will be
ready for occupancy next week. 1t has been
greatly needed Is the want of proper facilities has
retarded progress in manufactures at the place.

Robbins the Murderer.

Deputy Sheriff Ames Of Knox county, and Col.
Abner Knowles counsel for Robbins. the Annie
B murderer. have made application to Judge Pet
ers, At Bangor, for permission to remove Robbins
from the Insane Hospital, At Augusta, and place
him in the custody of his parents at Deer Isle
The application was refused by his Honor on
the grounds that, if he was sane man, he was a
guilty man, and his confinement in the Hospital
was none too severe punishment; and, on the
other hand, if he was not of sound mind. as the
jury found in the verdict the asylum was the
proper plae for him. Chief Justice Appleton
concurred in the decision of Judge Peters, adding
that something was due to the British government
in the disposition of the case.
Moreover, strong letter had been received by
the Judge from DIR. Harlow. superintendent of the
hospital, urging the importance Of having Robbins
remain with him long enough to test his mental
condition. Robin sloscly ,,dguard-

The drama of ''The Deluge, or Paradise
Lost" is in four acts, spectacular in its ma
ture, and, properly considered, may be pro-
nounced a series of tableaux, illustrating some
vivid scenes of M1ton's great poem. In the
first scene we find Satan chained to rock, and
the angel of Mercy pleading to him. Gabriel
enters, but Satan deies him and summons
Beelzebub and MoIoch to his aid. In the sec
ond scene Satan holds council with his fends,
some of whom attempt to rebel, but, after =
brief conflict, are overcome and promise future
obedience. Satan resolves to war upon man
kind, and introduces death and sin into the
world. In the second act we have view Of
the Garden of Eden. Ada m and Eve are re-
posing upon a messy bank, and the tree Of
knowledge is seen upon the right of the stage.
Although this is before the fall, none of the
prophecies are shocked, as Adam wears
breeehes of lambs wool and ill-fashioned, and
Eve is comfortably clad, even to pink silk
boots. Presently a lOathsome serpent noise
lessly glides across the stage, and is seen to
wind in and out among the branches of the
tree of knowledge, and finally to eat one Of the
apples. Satan, in human form, then energies
from the trunk Of the tree, makes love to Eve,
and finally persuades her to eat of the forbid
den fruit, and shortly thereafter she induces
Adam to do likewise. Then dark clouds OBJ
scure the air, the lightning flashes, thunder
rattles, and the Angel Gabriel, without the
flaming sword, but with one of modern construc-
ton, drives them forth from the garden as the
act drop conceals them from view. The third
act is devoted to the murder of Abel by his
brother Cain, and here Satan's mysterious
power is again seen. The fourth act transpires
in the Temple of EnOch, where Satan and his
hosts are indulging in bacchanalian reyels. In
this scene all the magnifcence of the spectacle
is concentrated-dancing by a large ballet
corps, terpsichorean eyolntiOas by the KiralEy
sisters, and marches By very large number Of
females, clad in the richest and most gorgeous
costumes ever seen upon the stage, where
hitherto some magnificent displays have been
witnessed

LITEPARY CURIOSITY.

A Hungarian exile, DR.. Gabor Naphegyi, has
just executed very curious and beautiful
piece of chirography intended as letter of
coincidence to Mrs. Taylor, relic of the late
President. The whole work was done with
pen and ink, on a sheet of paper five feet long
by seven broad. 1t contains eighteen pOetical
inscriptions, in as many different languages,
and likeness of Gen. Taylor, in which Ou:-
lines of the face and whole persons are formed
of written portions of the biography and senti-
ments of the deceased. His hair is composed
of the words, so disposed as at a little distance
to appear quite natural sin the battlefield,
amidst the sound of cannon, the drums and
trumpets, the hurrahs of the siege, and the
signs of the wounded, my locks became
whitened."
The eyes, viz: I" My glance was ever for
Vard-to the Father in Heaven, and for the
Republic"
The nose iseomposed of the following words /:
81 breathed the air of lberty-in any other air
could not exist"
The mouth is composed of She following
words 81 have always endeavOred to do my
duty. l am not afraid to die"
The neck ''Not proud, only in being son
ofthe Republic"
The shoulders "With pleasure have borne
the great duties with which the nation has so
greatly honored me-"
The rest of the portrait is filed up in a SINH
lar manner, and surrounded by hkenesses Of
Washington, Tell, Frederick Barbarossa, Alex
ander the Great, Draco and others. The whole
is signed BY the President and members of both
Houses of Congress, and is to be presented
in the form of memento from them to the
widow of Gen. Taylor.
