A Prison Incident,

A very remarkable scene was presented in
Auburn prison at an early hour on Tuesday
evening, when Marie Roze Mapleson, the
we'll known prima donna, visited the institu-
ton and sang in the presence of nearly all
Of its inmates, embracing upwards Of twelve
hundred convicts. An incident of this char
acter has occurred but once before, and that
was on the occasion of the visit of Jenny
Lind. A letter from one of the gentlemen
present depic-s the scene as extremely touch
ing On tire arrival of Marie Koze she de-
sired to know if all of tho prisoners were
present, and being answered IN the negative
by Keeper Wells she requested that even
those who might be in solitary confinement
should, as a special privilege, lie permitted
TO come into the chapel and join the other
convicts in listening to the music which she
proposed to sing The request was accorded.
and the poor fellows, some of them for the
| first time in many years, were permitted not
only to look once moro on the face of a
beautiful woman, but hear again from an ac-
complished artist the sweet notes that re-
minded them of the innocent days of youth.
The chief. selections of Nine. Roze were
"Sweet Spirit Hear my Prayer and the
"Sweet Ky 1nd By and the writer of the
letter states that even the most hardened
! criminals were stirred to tears. After this
the fair cantatrice made tour of the institu-
ton, the prisoners meanwhile being retained
| in the chapel, and on her return she sang
the old familiar air "Comin' Thro' the Rye"
Meanwhile some of the most intelligent
among the convcts had been permitted to
prepare testimonial of thanks, which was
! duly signed and presented to the lady. 1t
| closed with the following quotation
God sent his singers upon earth
With songs of sadness and of n.irth,
That they Nigh touch the hearts of men
And bring them back to heaven again.
There can be little doubt that every one
OF these twelve hundred prisoners worked
| with cheerier hearts all that day, and that
the poor fellows in solitary confinement
especially will for long time recall and enjoy
this fresh ray of sunlight.

How Lcgal-Tcndcrs will be Redeemed.

Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.
Inquiries arc made from the West whether
legal tenders will be redeemed at the sub
treasures, and, if not, how it can be claimed
that resumption will be completed Jan. l.
cannot be authoritatively stated to- night
that it is the purpose of Secretary Sherman
not to redeem at all Western and Southern
sub-treasuries, but there is the best semi
Official authority for the statement that he
will execute the clause to the resumption act
which requires the redemption of legal-tend-
ers at the office Of tho assistant-treasurer at
New York only, although the law does not
prohibit him from, redecming elsewhere. It
has been urged by many friends of resump-
ton that
RESUMPTION WOULD BE EMBARRASSED
by any restriction, which would make the re-
demption of legal-tendsr notes possible in
the city of New York alone. These persons
insist that the work of redemption will be
greatly aided if the assistant tTeasurers OF
the United States throughout the country
were authorized to exchange gold for legal
tenders. Persons who within q few days
have had repeated conference with Secretary
Sherman say, however, that he is determined
to execute the resumption act in every par
ticular, and that he has no discretion except
to redeem at the sub-treasury at New York
alone. contrary course, it is claimed,
would weaken the government by scattering
its resources, and by making it more possible
for combinations to be formed to organize
RUNS UPON THE TREASURY.
This point is ono that was strongly dwelt
upon in the committee which drafted the re-
sumption act, aid it was decided that the
secretary of the treasury should have the
power to redeem at one place only. The
treasury people say that the incompleteness
of resumption would not be apparent. The
process at Chicago, Cincinnati, Boston, and
New Orleans would be this: Legal-tenders
would not be redeemed in coin at these sub
treasures, but coin drafts on New York
would be given for egaltenders, and re-
sumption would come about in this way.
Indeed. the language of the resumption act
is mandatory, that legal-tenders shall be re-
deemed at the New York sub-treasury only.
The act says: "On and after Jan. l, 1879,
the secretary Of the treasury shall redeem
in coin the United States legal-tender notes
then outstanding on their presentation for
redemption at the Office of assistant treasur-
er of the United States in the city of New
York, in sums of not less than $50" It
will, of course, be maintained that this can
not be construed to prevent redemptions at
all the sub-treasuries, but the law does not
require it,

Sheriff Chandler, of Red Wing, Mimi, has
in custody james P. Holmes, defaulting teller
of the National bank of that place. The
sheriff first had his attention attracted by
Holmes fast habits. The young man kept a
horse and buggy, had a $3.50 gun, couple of
blooded hunting dogs, wore the best Of
clothes and ganbled. Chandler informed
the directors of his discoveries, and they set
an expert to work on the books. which showed
that Holmes was short some hundreds, if not
thousands. The teller suspected that he had
been uncovered, and skipped out. He was
traced here by Chandler, aud caught by St.
Louis detectives when he called at the post
Office for mail matter from Zumbro,a.

from time to time. and by the free commerce
with India accorded to the Afghans, we gained
only Ill will and discourtesy. The ameer
openly and assiduously attempted by verbs
and deeds to stir up religious hatred and bring
about war upon the British empire in India
and although he had 1epelled all efforts for
amicable intercourse by the Indian govern.
msnt he formally received Russian embassy,
and, finally, while the Russian mission was
still at Cabul. he forcibly repulsed an English
envoy whose coming had been duly notified to
him and met our attempts to promote friendly
relations with open indignity and defiance.
The long forbearance of the British government
thus deliberately requited incurred its just re-
sentiment With the Sirdars and the people of
Afghanistan, t;e Indian government has no
quarrel. as they have given no offense. The
independence Of Afghanistan will be respected.
but the general government of India cannot
tolerate that any other power should interfere
in the internal affairs Of Afghanistan." The
proclamation concludes as follows: "Upon
Ameer Sheere Ali alone rests the responsibility
Of having exchanged the friendship for the
hostility of the Empress of India"
