We gather some very interesting statis
tics from the book just issued by the Ma
tional Prison association, and written largely
| by the learned and indefatigable secretary of
the association, DR.. Wines, of Springfield.
The number of State prisons in the republic
is forty four, some Of the States having more
than one, while Delaware is the only State
without one. The aggregate value of the
reality of these institutions is $l3,S50, 600 !;
number of officers employed is ,495, with
aggregate yearly salaries 81 ,942, ,725. Other
expenditures bring the expenses to SO, ,045,-
7S9 per aunum. This is the gross expendi-
ture there being profit on the produce of
prisoners amounting to the respectable
sum of 8 ,4l3 ,973 per annum. Counting all
the prisoners, the average of each is Sl2E
per aunum, but counting only the 6,544
actually employed in productive labor the
average is S173 The cheapest is that in
North Carolina, each convict costing about
$50 per annum tho dearest, that in Utah,
where the sum is 5000. The industries
pursued in these prisons are many and
various, in some of the Southern States
the convicts build railroads, work mines,
and raise cotton in Texas they are en-
ployed in manufactures; in Sing Sing, the
largest revenue Games from laundry work ::
in the West agricultural machinery is man
ufactured, and all sorts of trade pursued.
Statistics as to the causes of crime are
given. Forty eight per cent. of all the
convicts in the States can neither read nor
write, and only one in hundred has re-
ceived more than q common school educa-
tion. Forty per cent are habitual drunk
ards thirty nine moderate drinkers, and
only twenty one teetotallers. Twenty per
cent. of the inmates are minors.

The Story of q Hindoo Judge.

The Calcutta correspondent of the London
Times writes as. follows:
81 heard pretty story the other day, cir
cumstantially told, and il it is not circumstau-
italy correct, it ought to be SO. 1t certainly
is true, generally, and it presents picture of
one beautiful trait of HiBdoo characteristic
Hindoo's attachment to his earliest home.
You have often told stories of English lads,
and how they made their way to honor and
usefulness against all odds from Dick Whit
tington downward. Here is a story of Hin
doc lad, as brave a lad as ever stepped-the
late Mr. Justice Mitter, jnd ge of the hi gh court.
He was born in little Hindoo village, and of
parentage that the old story-tellers would
have deemed poor, but honest. He received
education l know not where, but he came to
Calcutta, as many a young man has gone to
London, to carve his way to fortune only in
his case there was contention against dom
inant race He held his own, however, through
port, till the time came when the poor Hindoo
lad became judge of the high court Per-
haps this may help to correct some of the pre-
valent Stiffness about Bengal shallowness He
worked splendidly subdued self, sat in modest
dignity O speak from knowledge, for I have
seen him) on the bench of the high court, de-
eidipg intricate cases as judge and gen,
tleman. At last he seized with fatal
disease He asked to he taken to a sanitar-
ium. and he was ooeyed. Time went on, but
be only became worse. 1t was death, the doc
request. He had sat on the judicial bench,
had been marked man at the levees and
drawing-rooms, at public gatherings for in
stitutions which sou ght distinguished names.
Englishman of the first distinction-notably
Sir Barnes Peacock-did themselves an honor
which will not soon he effaced from the minds
of the people of Calcutta by making the ma
| tive judge their friend. Now, then, had come
| the grand issne of all, and the dying judge
| begged to be taken to the village, and l sup
pose the honse. in which he was born: In this
way the two ends of life came together-sim-
| ply as in any play of children, aud grandly as
| in the truly heroic stories of mankind. There,
where the trees he had loved IN chldho1d
judge died. The poor Hindoo when he feels
his last moments coming to end tries his
| best to crawl to 'home,' to the muddy tank,
the grove of cocoanuts or bamboos. and to the
| family gatherings at eventide, bich few Hin
docs ever forget, go where they may"

HONE AFFECTIoNs.-Wherea p family of
children are taught from childhood to man
hood and womanhood to be kind and
loving one to another, and see the daily
exhibition of like kindness and love be-
tween the parents, and from the parents to
them, there we see strong manhood and
noble womanhood. Affection does not be-
get weakness, nor is it effaninate for a
brother to be tenderfy attached r" his sis
ters. That boy will MIKE the nobiest, and
bravest man. On the ha,tlie field, in many
terrible battles, during our late horrible
war, always noticed that those boys who
had been reared under the tenderest home
culture always made the best sodiers
they were always brave, always endured
the severest hardships OF camp, tie march,
or on the bloody field most silently, and
were most dutiful at every cali More,
much more, they resisted the frightful
temptations that so often surrounded them,
and seldom returned to their loved ones
stained with tie sins incident to war. And
further, they were always kind and polite
to those whom they met in the enemy's
country. Under their protection woman
was always safe. Often have l heard one
regiment compared with another, when the
cause of the difference was not compre-
hended by those who drew the comparison.
l knew the cause; it was home education.

A New History of Texas.
From the Galveston News

A few weeks ago, when at DR.. +. l..
Ioakum's, of Larissa, in Cherokee
county, suggested TO him that he pre-
pare Il new edition of his brothers his
tory of Texas. lie told me that he
had at command the manuscripts and
papers of his brother, the historian,
besides much other material acquired
during long residence in the state.
The historian left n large amount OF
unpublished matter. Yesterday ] re-
ceVed Il letter from DR., Noakum, stat
ing that, "after mature consideration,
he had concluded TO re-write his broth
er's history, and continue II to the
time of going to press" He wishes to
cooperate in this matter with the Tex
us historical society and with all who
have reliable unpublished historical
material.
DR.. Ioakum is well qualified for the
work. He was president Of the old
Larissa college during many years, un-
til it was suspended by the war, when
he was appointed mineralogist and
botanist for the Trans-M Mississippi de-
partment. Since then he was professor
elect OF physical science OF Trinity
university, but his business al i.nrissa
did not permit him to accept the posi-
ton. lie is also member of several
learned societies.
Yoakums history Of Texas has he
come very rare, and is, | believe, the
best history Of the state yet published,
but we now are promised a much better
work; ] say better work, for DIR. Yoak-
um has aud will have large amount
of new and valuable material.

showing the cause of the present hos
tility of the COmanches and other
tribes. After the conversation, in
which they inquired how | was going

| asked them what the conanches had
to complaia Of-what were the causes
of the general hostility on the part oi
the Comanches, Ki0was ard Chey-
eunes.
They said that the Comanches had
nothing to complain of on the part of
the government agents, troops or
whites, but some two months ago, q
prophet rose among them, who told
them that he had an interview with
the Great Spirit, who said that the
Caddos, Wichitas and other Indians
who were adopting the mode Of life OF
the whites, were going down hill fast,
in means aud population, aud that the
Comanches would do the same If they
followed the same road, and the way
for them again to be the powerful ma
ton they once were, was to 90 To war
and kill off all the white people they
could. This, these chiefs said, chimed

evil disposed of the nation, and the
present war is the result.
