IN Italian Prison.

Florence Correspondence Philadelphia Tele-
graph.
1t is not generally known that the great
Turin Prison called 'La Generala,' is turned
to strange use. There are some 800 prison
ers in this gloomy abode guilty of the worst
crimes, many under 20 years of age, and the
building is so unsuited to the character of
its occupants that they live unfortunately,
and riots are but too frequent. Government
so far has turned deaf ear to the prayers
of the prison managers and directors that
some change may be made. Meanwhile an
extraordinary abuse has crept in. Sons of
noble italian families are sent here when
they have given cause of complaint to their
tory. Thus you see among the worst
criminals, amidst the corrupt conversation
of the most abandoned and
vicious of that class of men who are
styled the scum and refuse of
society, you will find young noblemen, some
too crushed and spiritless to complain, a few
maddened by the horror of the position,
ready to do or say anything that will make
them forget for time the truth. These
young fellows are kept for an indefinite time
| in the prison by the memorable cruelty of q
parent who thinks that he will thus break
the spirit of an undisciplined, hayward child
The result is not satisfactory. Health, and
spirits, and every noble feeling are left in
the "Generala" never to be regained, and il
is not wonderful that the director of thu
prison should try every means to obtain the
release of those unfortunate prisoners whose
sense of injustice is a perfectly right one
and has powerful influence over the othe
prisoners, and makes prison-riots and rebel
lions terribly frequent. On these occasions
the military are called in, and the offender
shot down at once. In no instance is the re
quest for liberation addressed to the father
of the unjustly detained prisoners of an
avail. '.You see that handsome young man,
said one of the guardians to friend, Q

Count F., who has been sent here becaus
he disobeyed his father. The directors Ell
treats his father to take him out of this p
of vice, this foetid air which is slowly KILN

many others in the poor young Count

motion was made that the constitution and
by laws be again read over and adopted one
by one, the manufacturers and wholesale
dealers by motion being invited to particl
pate In all discussions pertaining to the sub
ject. The first ten articles were promptly
adopted.
On article IL, as quoted above, discussion
arose as to whether sash and door manufac-
turers would, under the provisions of the
article, be compelled to purchase at consum-
ers or retail dealers prices, also whether the
article would have any effect relative to the
city trade of Minneapolis, where there are no
retail dealers. The question also arose as to
whether percentage would not be better
than the system of fines above stated.
Col. Merriam, on behalf of the wholesalers,
thought they should not participate in the
meeting any more than to be attentive list
eners. The wholesalers have an organiza-
ton of their own, and any action this meet
ing may take will be fully considered here
after.
Major Camp didn't propose to pay any
man fine so long as he controlled his own
business. He believed in self protection
first. He was willing, personally, to allow a
per cent. off, but it would be because the
dealer bought of him as his customer and
not simply because he was dealer. AS a
matter of principle he would not concede the
privilege of any man to levy fine upon his
business. He conceded the right of the re-
tail dealer to protection, but he must be pro-
tected.
Mayor De Laittre also believed in the basis
of a percentage as the best way OF settling
the difficulty.
After further and a very lengthy discus
sion, it was moved that the board of direct
ors to be hereafter elected be empowered to
confer with the lumbermen's board of trade,
of Minneapolis and other cities, to perfect a
substitute for article II, referring the same
to the secretary, who shall insert such sub
stitute in the constitution, in place of such
article IL.
Article II, as above quoted, was then laid
on the table, and the remainder of the un-
important articles of the constitution were
adopted without further discussion At the
close of the GLOBE report, the convention
was about to proceed to the election of Of
fcers.

New York Letter Feb. ~
The Lord-Hicks wedding is nearly as much
of sensation as at first The publication
of the letters written by Charles Lord has led
to an entire change Of sentiment in favor of
the aged bridegroom. who appears sane in
deed by the side Of his son. The new devel-
opments are discussed in every circle, and
the feeling is general that the children have
behaved in thoroughly shameless manner.
Mrs. Lords house at No. 10 West Four
tenth street, where the couple were for thir-
ty days successfully hidden from the world
is famous as an object of curiosity to passers
by. To-day quite crowd collected constant
ly on both sides of the street, gazing imper
tinently at the richly curtained windows.
Two men dressed in citizens clothes, who
seemed to be lowering in the neighborhood
for no special reason, were pointed out as
detectives. They had been hired by Mr..
Thomas Lord, who is anxious to keep away
Objectionable visitors, especially his son
Charles. Several visits were paid to-day by
friends of the lady and gentleman, and many
cards were left at the door. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Lord we're prepared to receive visits,
| and with all Corners they conversed with the
utmost pleasantness. Mrs. Hicks bears her
self with that degree of pride thoroughly
consistent with her character. She is still
the same brilliant lady so long central
figure in metropolitan circles. Mr.. Lord, in
many. respects, is greatly improved. His
spirits are cheerful, and he is inclined to take
mild view of the present troubles. Alto
gether he looks better than during several
years past. If he had the full use of his in
jured limb, he would be as brisk on his feet
and in his movements as a young man; he
seems happy and contented. This marriage
has long been the goal of his aspirations, and
there is no doubt that he regards his
brilliant wife with fondness that almost
amounts to worship. The legal compiled.
tons are numerous and conflicting. The
Sherif's jury, who were to have given yer
dict in the lunacy proceeding, met to-day fol
the sake of form and were almost immedi

They were informed that their services

NEW Him Review.


By the St. Paul papers of last Wednesday
we see that the military men of Wisconsin,
interested in the militia organization of that
State, have held meeting at Madison and
appointed committee to draft an address to
the legislature and bill for presentation
giving the views of the convention. The
plan proposed is for twenty-four companies
of infantry to be formed into two regiments,
with two independent companies of cavalry
and one of artillery, the State to furnish a
money allowance for uniforms, drill rooms
or armories, and to pay each man the ex-
pense of battalion encampments at one dol
lar and fifty cents day, for five days in
each year.
Now as we are interested in the militia or
ganization of this State. and have kept up a
well disciplined and uniformed company for
the last six years, at an individual expense,
we would be pleased to see the military men
those of Wisconsin.
In 1873, through the indomitable energy
| of Mark D. Flower, then adjutant general of
the state, very efficient militia organization
was established: but the organization being
composed to a large extent, of men who had
to make their living by hard labor, men who
were unable to bear the expense of uniform
ing, hall or armory rent, and the State
through the representatives in the Legisla-
ture continuously refusing to vote small
pecuniary appropriation for the maintenance
of the organization, it soon became an Or
/ ganization that existed only on paper.
We think it would be for the benefit OF
the State to keep up small militia organi-
cation, say one regiment of infantry, one
company each of cavalry and artillery, under
a similar law to the one proposed by the
military men of Wisconsin. The cost OF
maintaining such an organization would bt
small and would be money well expended.
Let the military men of Minnesota follow
the exampe of Wisconsin, let there be :
meeting called at st. Paul at once, inviting
the attendance of the military committees O
the Legislature and of every one interested
in the work. plan of organization cal
then be agreed upon, and presented to tn
Legislature. If anything is done, it mus
be done at once.

OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Extracts from the lf3an,taI Report Of ChicT
Engineer Bracket.
Chief Engineer Bracket of the Minneapolis
fire department. submitted his fifth annual
port 70 the city council yesterday. 1t was
very voluminous and interesting document
showing much care and detail in preparation
and from it we gather the following points of
general interest:
MANUAL FORCE.
During the year ending Dec. 3lst, 1877, the
department membership has been increased by
the organization Of Acme hook and ladder Co.
No. 2, and now consists of 256 members, pro-
portioned among seven companies.
APPARATUS.
The apparatus now in active service consists
Of one Amoskeag steamer, four tWo-horse hose
carriages, and one single horse hose carriage;
one two-horse hook and ladder truck, and one
hand hook and ladder truck. The apparatus
unfit for service, but held in reserve, consists
of three four-wheel hose carriages, one hose
Jumper and 500 feet Of old hose.
HORSES.
The department has in service IA horses,
eight Of which are owned by the city, the re-
mainder being hired. Only one horse was lost
by sickness during the year. Oats, hay, feed
and bedding have been furnished at an expense
of $l71 per week for each horse.
HOSE.
There is at present 500 feet of first class and
$500 feet of second class hose now in service,
a very inadequate amount, and the purchase Of
1900 feet additional was strongly recon-
mended
WATER SUPPLY.
Three hydrants have been added during the
year, making total in the city OF 147, and
steamer platforms have been built at Oak and
Hoag's lakes.
FIRE-AI4ARNI TELEGRAPH.
The total number of fre-alarm boxes number
10, two having been added during the year
The battery system is considered by the en-
gineer insufficient. and the purchase of cir
cult repeater is recommended. few genera
suggestions as to the manner and Importance Of
turning in prompt alarm was appended tt
the report under this heading.
| DISTRICTS.
The manner Of the division of the depart
ment into districts was commented upon, tn,
advantages being better protection to thu
greatest number and the provision of a reserv,
| to answer second alarm.
| HOUSES.
All the companies, with the exception o
Hose No. 5 and Hook and Ladder No. g. occup,
substantial and we'll appointed buildings owne'

Il Superstition.

A Philadelphia special to the World says:
The wreck of the Metropolis has brought
out sailors superstition every vessel
that has sailed direct from Willow-street
Wharf that is, without touching down the
river, has been lost-as follows: The United
States steamer Miami, which sailed for New
Orleans in 1865, was wrecked in one of the
passes of the Mississippi, and all hands lost;
the bark Albatrass, which sailed for Per-
nambuco in 1871 or 1872, was never heard Of
afterward, the brig Edna was wrecked on
the Bahamas, and most of the crew lost; the
canal boats that have sunk here are legions
and captains often go to another wharf tc
complete their cargos. 10 cap the climax
it is the fayorite wharf with suicides ant
] pc ople who want to walk into the Delaware
