not go down to posterity as poet but to
our notion, the play of &c Richelieu" alone
was enough to stamp him poet. The
character of the great Cardinal is SO little

picture him crafty priest, who stole the
livery of the altar for the perpetration Of
all sorts of political intrigues. They for
got he was in his youth great soldier, the
idol of the French army and the terror
Of its enemies and that in his old age he
sought the church as a balm for the sorrows
that piety alone can heal. The majesty of
the proud old grandee who would not de-
mean himself even to

A BAD BARGAIN.

The new Jail building is just like the
Office We occupy-nothing like what it
ought to be, but considerably better
than none at all. The rooms for the
use of the county officers, in the upper
story, are well lighted and convenient
Ito the brewery in every respect. SO
there is no fault to be found With that
portion Of the building.
The Jail department, however, is dis
grace to civilized and intelligent COM
munity 1t is dark, damp. and ill-ven-
tilated, besides being built of a soft
stone that is inferior to average brick.
The floor which separates it from the
upper story is but single thickness of
plank and could be gouged through in q
few minutes by any expert burglar or
Jail. breaker. And when we reflect that
this little bandbox cost King county
only SIG. 600 in scrip. we feel that the
tax payers are fitting objects of COM
miseration.
The dim and solitary style of contine-
ment is by no means advantageous to the
reformation of prisoners. There is bus
manity in punishment, rs in everything
else; and humanity forbids placing liv-
ing beings in such dens as the cells of
that Jail. We believe in keeping Grim
inals confined securely and safely, but
we do not believe in subjrcting them to
contagion of disease by placing them in
damp dungeons. devoid of light and
ventilation. Sheriff Wyckof says he
feels ashamed to lock M prisoner in
such place and as for the prisoners
themselves, they openly avow their in
rentions of leaving there at the earliest
opportunity. 1t is no sort OF an equiva-
lent for the money it has cost ard, if
tie building of the new proposed court
house is to be conducted under the
same auspices. the louger it is deferred
the better for the people. We are al
ways opposed to the cheap and nasty
| STYLE of business and favor anything
that gives fair equivalent for the
money spent; but we cannot include the
new Jail in that category.

The latest sensation by the venal and
subsidized telegraph Is that Miss Caro-
line Gwin daughter of ex-senator
Gwin of California is to marry Gov
ernor Tilden, if he is elected President.
The same reliable authority gives her
age at thirty five years. Miss Gwln.
whom the writer has known for upwards
of twenty years, is now in her twenty
niuth year. Her elder brother. late a
State Senator from Calaveras county,
California, is not yet quite thirty-tive.
The idea that Governor Tilden who is
nearly sixty years of age would make
an engagement of marriage contingent
upon an election. is about as ridiculous
as the supposition that young girl,
whose life is surrounded with all that
wealth can purchase, would merry Il
man of nearly thrice her age. Try again.
