Quantity of Food-A Compromise
Effected and Discipline Restored.
ST. Louis, Mo-, June ., 1874,
Special dispatches from Jefferson City, at a late
hour last night, say mutiny, which at one time
threatened to be quite serious, occurred in the
Penitentiary yesterday. During the dinner hour
several conylcIs simultaneously sprang from their
seats at the table, and, with drawn knives ordered
the five six guards present TO stand still at the
peru OF their lives which they did. Mr. Bradbury,
one OF the officers OF the prison, entered the ROOM
and was Immediately ordered to be seated and
remain quiet. Shortly alter Warden Labree en-
tered and made speech 10 the convicrs, which
quieted them TO the extent that they released Mr..
Bradbury and the guards.
THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE,
as stated by the convicts, was the bad quality OF
the food furnished them.
At the request OF Colonel Murphy President OF the
Prison Company, q committee OF prisoners went
with him to the commissioners quarters. where
the quality OF the ratlons was examined. This
seemed satisfactory 10 most OF the conyicts but
some o! them still insisted that the food was not
good, and complained that the quantity allowed
was not sufficient for hard working men. Colonel
Murphy assured them they should have an abun-
dance to eat and OF gooa quality, and Compara.
tive quiet was restored.
A SECOND REVOLT,
however broke out in the shoe shop during the
afternoon, and threats were made to burn the
prison. IL was the determination TO force the
convicts into .hetr cells, and at this juncture q
company Oh armed citizens arrived and, mar ching
into the prison, drew up III line, ready 20 fire at

The most interesting topic of the
hour, seems to be the appointment OF
a Chief Justice to the U. S. Supreme
court. The nomination of Attorney
Gen. Williams for the Office, was
very unsatisfactory to all classes.
His name being withdrawn, that OF
Caleb Cushing was presented. Some
faint, or fancied faint, of sympathy
with the South at the breaking out
of the late rebellion, was sufficient to
to cause a speedy withdrawal of his
name. The Presidents third nomina-
ton is no less of surprise to the
people than his proceeding ones.
The honor of the third nomination
falls on Morrison r. Waite, of Ohio.
Present appearances indicate that
the nomination ofsMr Waite will be
confirmed by the Senate. Mr.. Waite
is native of Connecticut, and is the
son OF Chief Justice Waite of that
State. He received college educa-
ton, and has been in the practice OF
law IN Ohio some 80 years. 1t is
said that his close application to law
has well fitted him for the Office to
which he is nominated.
p. S.-Since the above was in type,
Washington dispatch states that
Mr.. Waite was confirmed Chief JUS
tice unanimously, sixty. four Senators,
Democrats and Republicans, all who
were present, voting for him. Owing
to the fact that the Democrats favor
him, some Republicans are alarmed ;
they fear that lie is not all right.
The vote, however, was compliment
to Mr.. Waite as lawyer. 1t is un
derstood he will take his place imme-
diately. Among other things, he is
said to be in favor of woman suf.
frage. The authority for this is SUI
san 3. Anthony.

BEEcHER ON THE CRow.-Mr.
Beecher makes the following witty re-
marks about the crow:
"Aside from the special question of
profit and loss, we have warm side
toward the crow, he is so much like
one of ourselves. He is lazy, and
that is human. He is cunning, and
that is human. He takes advantage
of those weaker tnan himself, and
that is so Inan-like He is sly, and
hides for to-morrow what he can't eat
to day, showing a real human provi-
dence. He learns tricks much faster
than he does useful things, showing a
true boy.nature. He thinks his own
color the best, and loves to hear his
own voice, which are eminently human
traits. He will never work when
he can get another to work for him
a genuine human trait. He eats
whatever he can lay his claws upon,
and is less mischievous with full
stomach than when hungry, and that
is like man. He is at war with all
living things except his own kind,
and with them when he has nothing

Obituary.

DIED, in Guildhall, Jan. goth, 1874
John H. BOyce Esq, in the fiftieth
year of his age.
1t is not my object in taking the
pen, to write a eulogy upon the chara-
cter of the deceased, that is stamped
upon the mind, aid will long be cher
ished in the memory of those with
whom he has ever associated.
The subject of this notice was
born in the town of Newbury, VT,
April 9th, 1927, AMI come to this
town with his fathers family to live,
in April, 1912, where he has ever
since resided, and was never mar
ried.
For the last thirty years he has
been unable to perform any great
amount of manual labor, being all
this time subject to the disease of
which he died. To such an extent was
this the case, that in the fore part of
his recent illness, he was very strong
ly impressed with the idea that this
was to be his last sickness and was
of the opinion that medical aid could
not save him, for he had read much
upon the nature and treatment of
diseases of this kind. From the fact
of his being unable to labor with his
hands, he was q great reader, and
stored his mind with useful knowl-
edge, and had very retentive mem
Dry, and capable of imparting to
others of what he had read. In his
intercourse with his fellows, he was
social and compsnionable and posses
sed with an even and uniform dis.
position in some degree like unto
that of our late friend Joseph, fol-
whom we still mourn. He was elect.
cd to various offices by the people oil
the town, in all of which he strove to
do equal right and justice to all. Let
lis all strive to emulate their virtues,
and to live as do those who have d

BOstOnsi Crime and Shame for 1873.
A MOST ASTOUNDING RECORD.

A MOST ASTOUNDING RECORD.
John Rogers, superintendent of the
city prison (better known as the
tombs), has politely furnished us for
publication his statistical record of
crime in the City of Boston, as gather
ed from the records of his office. 1t
is most remarkable exhibit, present
ing as it does a record of most heinons
offences, sucl. as was never known be-
fore in the history of the city. From
other sources we have record evidence
that during the year 1873 more fraud
and corruption in high places we're
discovered than were ever unveiled
before during any one year of the GEN.
fury and the figures embraced in this
report of the superintendent of our
city prison clearly Indicate that the
current of denominations and wicked
ness among the people of Boston is
as strong and rapid az in any other
city of the Union. But here is the
fearful record: During the year IA
81 people were committed to the
prison; of this number IL, 595 were
males and 1916 were females. Max.
ing still another division, 8643 were
foreigners and 622S were Americans.
Their criminal record is given in this
wise: Arrested for assaults with in
