PRESIDENTS ISLAND.
What the Presidents Island Work.
house Will Save the city ana
County

What the Presidents Island Work.
County.
The action Of the County Court in ac-
cepting General Forests bid for the
county prisoners will ave the county
many thousands Of dollars. Heretofore
the county has had no work-bouse and
the prisoners sentenced to pay fines by
magistrates or in default thereof to work
such fines out have been sent to the jail
for detention, for which the county had
to pay about forty cents per day for feed
ing each prisoner. General Forrest
proposes to pay the city and county ten
cents per working day for all a~ble-bodied
men and women, and agrees 10 clothe,
board and pay all necessary expenses,
and also 10 board, lodge and retain in
the work house on President Island all
others who are unable to engage in
manual labor, and to guard said prisoners
and work them as agriculturists or on
public works in Shelby county. This
same proposition has been made to the
city for its convicts.
The chain-gang prisoners average at
least twenty in number, and these are
fed at a cost to the city Of forty cents
per day, besides salaries for four guards
-one at one hundred dollars per month
and three at twenty-five dollars per
month each. And then from six to
eight carts at three dollars per day each
have to be employed by the city to aid
the convicts in performing their work.
II cost $3.50 to feed the sta~tion-house
prisoners last month, and the expenses
incident to working the chain-gang
amounts to nearly forty dollars per day
Instead Of this outlay the city will re.
ceive from General Forrest ten cents a
head for each daythat each convict may
work.
The city is full of Migrants, vagabouds
and sneak thieves, principally negroes
Of beth sexes. These are carried to the
station-house nightly, and they seem to
enjoy it, as it gives them food and resi-
for several days. When not compelled
to work, these ~vagabonds, abandoned
men and women, regard the station
house as a house Of refuge, to be patron
lied instead of avoided. When the
Presidents Island work.house is estab
lished it will rid the city of this class Of
people who nightly rob hen-roosts and
commit other larcenies throughout tht
city. The depraved and wicked populc,
ton will either have to leave the city OF
be forced to work on Presidents Island
AT least one thousand Of these disrepu
table persons prowl around Memphis tC
the great annoyance of good citizens.
The city and county should by all means
accept General Forests bid, and there
by relieve taxpayers of a heavy assess
ment to support crime and encourage
criminals to reside here and commi
d~epredations.

Dancing Going ont

NJ. D. Conway in Cincinnati Commercial
Somehow London seems to have got
tired Of dancing. When the Shah was
here, no remark he made was more
relisbed than his question to the Prince
of Wales while the dance was going on,
Why do you not employ servants to do
this for your The perspiring Prince
could hardly explain, but society gener-
ally seems inclined to relegate dancing
to the corps de ballet, This has been
especially the case this season, when the
new fashionable skirts have gone to an
extreme from the Liberation Of the bal
let. A lady was recently heard to say,
with a sigh, What with being tied
around above and tied around below /
havn't had a good square sit down for
three months" When a large ball is
given there is an apology for dancing, a
few mincing steps are taken, but pres
emily the company falls to admiring each
others dresses, and it all ends in music
and talk. Dancing bids fair to become
a " survival as the antiquarians say.
