English Hunting.

A queer hunting scene, and one that
provoked much comment, occurred re-
Gently at Salthil, near Slough, England.
A special train from London had brought
down fifteen couples of stag hounds,
sixty horses, and as many huntsmen.
A cart containing an old deer named
Honesty" was next wheeled into posi-
ton, and the quarry turned loose.
Honesty" who it appears, had stood
the test three or fur seasons, and was
personally known to the majority of the
company, at once made for the Burnham
beeches, followed by the whole pack in
full cry. Some Of the fair weather
sportsmen were choked off, and after the
first mile or two had been passed over
the field became comparatively select.
One of the riders broke his collar bone.
and another had lis head cut open.
" Honesty" proceeded on her course to
Amersham, and then to Chaneys, near
Rlckmansworth, where she was finally
run down by tie dogs. Commenting on
the affair, London paper says: ITO
unearth and pursue wild animal to the
death may or may not be legitimate.

Life in Sing Sing.

In the keepers Office is a partly fin
ished PACK of cards which oneof the con-
victs was caught making. If he had
succeeded he would have been able to
en- Joy the exciting sport of a game of
solitaire. A few years ago he could
hardly become interested in game
where blue chips predominated; now he
was ready to become excited over a game
between his right hand and his left for
imaginary stakes The cards were made
of shipping tags which he had smuggled
from the shoe shop, and the suits were
marked liz blood. The face cards were
ingeniously figured One bore the fig
ure OF a police officer. Of course the
maker intended this for knave. But
the pack was not completed, for it found
its way into the keepers desk before the
cards were more than half marked. A
chapter might be written on the expedi-
ents of the prisoners for killing time.
There is caste in Sing Sing prison.
At the head of the elite stand the bank
robbers. The man who enters as the
hero Of daring and successful bank
robbery, and was given away by some
talthless pal, finds his reputation already
established. The scums of prison society
are those who are under sentence for
rape. They are ostracized by the other
prisoners, No other prisoner will speak
to them; they are Stunned even by the
most hardened criminals. The manner
IN which murderers are regarded is de-
pendent upon the circumstances of the
killing The convict who has killed his
man IN cold blood dooo uoJ enjoy the
esteem of his fellow convicts. If he shot
down man in order to make his way out
of trap into which he had fallen while
attempting daring thing in the bur-
glary line, the affair is considered one at
tended by extenuating circumstances.
AS rule, murdarers do not rank very
high-using the expression in its prison
sense-among those belonging to the
criminal classes They are not often
professional criminals. Their Grim
lnal history is frequently summed
up In the one act which was done in the
heat of passion, and which sent them to
prison. Thus it is that murderers are
not regarded blythe keeper as a very dan
gerous class of prisoners.
Caste in prison is wholly dependent
upon the prisoners past. A man once
IN gentle society may be employed ON
the most distasteful of prison drudgery,
and a social Outcast may be in the enjoy
ment of position that is almost com
handing; yet the status of a prisoner
among his fellows was fixed before he en-
tered there, and nothing can change it,
unless 1t be a daring and mastery strike |
for liberty.-N Y Sun.
