Convict LIFE IN NEW CALEDoNIA.-A
correspondent Of the Southern Cross, who re
Gently visited New Caledonia, communicates
some interesting facts about the convicts
The convicts Of New Caledonia number
about eight thousand, and are mostly on the
Isle DIES Pines, which is a short distance to
to the southwark of the mainland Other
convict settlements are scattered all around
the coast. Owing to the late arrival of the
Communists, the numbers will be considera-
bly, increased. The convicts are mostly EN-
ployed on the roads, which, around Noumea,
are in excellent condition., and on any gov
eminent work that may be going on. They
are 1t present retaining portion of the
harbor. which, when completed, will be of
great value to the town of Noumea. The
convi lets are paid IA few sous per day, part
of which is retained until their term of
sentence is expired. They are not over
worked, and are allowed to smoke
in tact, if anything, l should fancy
that they had a better time of it
than the soldiers who guard. Some very
clever carved ornaments, made out of wood
and shells, are manufactured by the prison.
ers, who sell them to the store-k keepers
Numbers of these curiosities find their way
into the Sydney market. If prisoner
escapes a gun is fired, and any one-sOldlcr
or citzen-has carte blanche, if discovered, to
shoot him dead Several instances have Oc
CURED Of convicts endcavoring to escape,
but they invariably have either been shot or
drowned in attempting to swim across to the
coral reefs, although, supposing they reach
them, they could not get away, being snr-
rounded by the sea. Any convict, showing
signs of INSTRUMENTATION, the guard has full
power to shoot him on the spot. l think
that this is wrong, for the guards may abuse,
and it is said have abused, their power. No
doubt with a view of soothing their savage
breasts, the convicts are allowed to have
brass band, and a very good one it is. They
perform once week, generally on Saturday,
in the town, to the great deectation of the
inhabitants, and when we bid onr French
friends an yeror we could hear, floating after
us on the breeze, the melodious strains of
the cOnvicts band.

A neat turn to a sermon often produces a
more lasting effect than either logic or the
ology. Instance this: My brethren, a
man cannot afford to lose his SOUL He's
got but one, and he can't get another: if
he loses his wife he can get another; if ne
loses his child he can get another; but if
he loses his soul-good by, John."

COMMODORE NANDERBILT's RETALIATION.
The inhabitants of Peekskill having re-
peatedly petitoned for "A new aud better
railroad station Commodore Vanderbilt
promised to erect an edifice that should be a
credit to the town. Thereupon the town
voted $4,000 to improve Centre street, lead
ing to the depot. But the Commodore re-
quired more land for the new structure, and
IA number of avaricious real estate owners re-
fused to sell for less than S250.000. The
Commodore offered $50, ZOO, and his offer be-
ing rejected, he set about building mis- new
depot half "a mile out of town, thus spelling
the 100000 Centre street, and forcing the
town to open Lew street up steep hill.
Then, in their wrath, the inhabitants of
Pcekskill said they would not ride on the
railroad, but would travel in the boats.
Again the Commodore retaliated, ordering
all express trains to plunge right through
Peeksk'll, and only way trains to pay any
attention to the place.-N. Y. San, 4pril %.
