There was the same amount OF excitement
manifested within the sombre walls OF the Parish
Prison last evening as IL manifested on every oc-
casion Of the kind, and the occasion was the
manacing OF batch OF prisoners destined for
the penitentiavy.
| The old prison clock had hardly told the death
Of the second hour after noon when the rsttling
Of leg irons and the jngling Of handouts could
be distinctly heard in the builpen.
This was warning to the prisoners that some
OF them were destined to be transported to Baton
Rouge.
The officers OF the prison never tell their pris-
oners Of the time they are going TO ship Tor the
Penitentiary, for the reason that they would
make the fact known to their friends, and the re-
suit would be that the prison front would be
crowded, and 30 the only notice they have is
when they hear the rafting Of the leg irons in
the bull-pen.
This being the case, NJ coon az they get the
dumb notice the song Of "Oh, there 10 one kind
friend who will miss ms when an gone" is sung
by every prisoner, and the old wallis fairly ring
with the chorus.
While this song Ia being sung the gruff voice OF
the yard captain can be heard ordering every
prisoner to enter his cell, aud as soon as this
| command Ia given you can hear pin drop.
Then the clerk Of the prison puts In an appear
ance and calls the name OF each prisoner des-
tined to Baton Rouge.
The prisoner, ~ soon as he hears his name
called, step, out and stands in line.

swered to their names. They we're shackled and
