THE DIRDS.

In the population Of the penitentiary
ought to be enumerated several thousand
English sparrows. The hooks and corners
and caves of the old buildings afford them
most desirable places for nests, and the
"pickings" OF the institution are amply
sufficient. They are multiplying and in
creasing month by month with astounding
rapidity. There are also there some mar
TINS, which manage to" hold their ground"
despite the vigorous attack OF the sturdy
English fighters. Captain Morgan strother,
who has had opportunity to study the habits
OF these sparrowss says he is sure they are
insectivorous. II so, the coming season
will be bad one for all sorts OF insects
patronizing that neighborhood.

FIRES AND FURIES,

Tn 1928 the number of prisoners had
reached 200, and in that year there was
destructive fire there. After that date the
General Assembly became frightened at the
cost Of the institution, and changed the
laws so as to decrease the number OF prison.

A FEARFUL NIGHT.

Mr.. Meenlcy gives an interesting account
of the night OF the evacuation. Ihere
were about 800 prisoners in the penltentla-
ry then. The evacuation having been de-
termined upon, the Public Guard was Or
dercd out OF the city by Governor Smith.
The superintendent also left, giving dlree-
t1ons to his subordinales to try to hold the
prisoners until the United States troops ar.
rived. Panic took possession, and many OF
the officers and subordinates left here. Ihe
prisoners seeing the city aflame, and hearing
the explosion OF the magazine, at once real
ized the situation. They knew that "the
Yankees were coming" Though locked
in their cells they determined to be free. BY
morning OF the Sd Of April one or two
having secured liberty helped to release the
others.
A few made their escape over the walls.
The others, excited with hope, assembled
in the yard and fiercely demanded that the
gates be opened to them.
In the terrors OF that Sunday night and
the impending danger Of that Monday
morning, as MIR. Meenley remembers, he had
the assistance OF only two others-Messrs.
Caleb Jacob and Benjamin Bragg. 1t was

The cells are now not lincomfortably
filled. Business at the penitentiary ls rather
slack. The mills are not buying barrels.
A firm with hired convicts are making
brooms. Another is manufacturing to-
bacco. Some fine furniture made in the de-

FAMOUS PRISONERS.
OF such there are very few. Keisel, who
was instrumental in getting old man
Fowlkes swindled, has been a good prisoner,
and has not much longer to serve. He has
very near relatives in northern State who
move in the best society, and who arc max
ing efforts to obtain his pardon. The Lit
tie brothers, who got up'a tirst-class family
row and killed their brother and wounded
their mother, are, to nearly all visitors, OBJ
iects of curiosity. By the way, it was
stated by member OF the General Assem-
bly, some time ago,that before Colonel Holli'
day became Governor he had signed their
petition for pardon. Now their friends are
pressing The petition, and the Governor finds
himself little embarrassed. Mrs. Lawson,
saved from The gallows to spend her life in
prison, is a woman of fair appearance. She,
it will be remembered, instead Of employ
ing a lawyer and suing for divorce, gave a
man $50 to shoot her husband. Yet she is
a mlld-mannered woman, and you would
never suppose from her looks that she was
a murderess. She says that she is thirty
four years of age, and has two children
one OF sixteen, the other OF fifteen. Her
brother, Silas Morris, saved from the scat
fold with her by Communication, is now learn
ing useful trade, and will for the re-
mainder of his life be required to labor for
the Commonwealth.

He was living, it is believed, an honest life
in a far-dstant southwestern State when he
was brought back to Virginia, by summary
process, to serve out a fearfuly-long term
in the penitentary. He would like TO get
out now. Many people have signed his petit
ton for pardon. Governor kemper never
would be persuaded by it. There may be
better luck with Governor Holiday. =

Extra Liability to Malarial Infection.

Persons whose blood is thin, digestion
weak and liver sluggish, are extra-liable to
the attacks of malarial disease. The most
triHing exposure may, under such condi-
tions, infect system which, if healthy,
would resist the masmatic taint. The only
way to secure immunity from malaria in
localities where it is prevalent, is to tone
and regulate the system by improving
weakened digestion, enriching the blood
and giving wholesome impetus to hillary
secretion. These results are accomplished
by nothing so effectively as Hostctter's
Stomach Bitters, which long experience has
proved to be the most reliable safeguard
against fever and ague and kindi ed disor-
ders, as well as the best remedy for them.
The Bitters are, moreover, en- excellent in
yigorant of the organs of urination, and an
active depurent, eliminating from the blood
those acrid impurities which originate
rheumatic ailments

Gen. Jos. E. Johnston is having

charges that General Johnston had two
young Irishmen, of Hayes Louisiana
brigade, shot just after the first battle OF
Manassas, for some slight insubordina-
ton, in spite of the earnest entreaties of
Beauregard and others. 1t further states
that a brother of one of the men vowed

makes believers one body. He calls it
the baptism of the Spirit, and in the 18th
and 18th verses the argument is this
The Church of Christ is one, because by
one or the same spirit all believers have
been baptised into one body. 1t is the
baptism of the Spirit that constitutes
them one body. 1t is not by baptism as
an external rite, but by the communica-
ton of the Holy Spirit that we are made
members of the body of Christ. Unto
one body means so as to constitute one
body. It matters not how greatly men
may differ before conversion or regene-
ration. though they may differ as widely
as Jew and Gentle, or as the free born
citizen and the bond slave, yet by the
baptism of the Spirit they are united into
one organized body, of which Christ is
the head. 1t is the Spirit that forms a
living, vital union between the head and
the means. llwho- have been baptised
with the Spirit are really and truly the
members of the mystical body of Christ,
whether they belong to the visible Church
or not. They who have not the baptism
of the Spirit have no living union with
Christ, though they may belong to the
visible Church, and have received the
external rite of baptism with water.
Finally, there is not only one Lord,
one Faith, one Baptism, but there is one
God and Father. Two ideas are involved
in the expression, Gone God and Father. !"
By zone God" is meant one object of
worship. The heathens worship different
objects; they have gods many. But all
Christians worship one and the same God.
But the main thing is the brotherhood of
Christians. They are all the children OF
God. This perhaps more than anything
else makes believers one body in Christ.
AS a father God thinks of US, loves US,
works for us, cares for us. protects us,
provides for us in the future. Father is
the most endearing appellation in which
God is made known to us. ~ should
have been French Atheist" said John
Randolph, had it not been for one recol-
lection, and that was when my departed
mother used to take my little hands in
hers and cause me on my knees to say,
Our Father which art in Heaven"
This little word Father, lisped by faith
in prayer by real Christian, exceeds the
eloqaence Of Cicero or Demosthenes and
the famous orators of the world. The
preachers closing remarks were full of
eloeuence and earnestness. If out of
Christ, he said, it will not save you to be
in the Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist,
or any other Church. If out of Christ,
it matters not what denomination you
belong to, membership in no branch of
the visible Church will save you. Out
of Christ you are without hope, and can
never see God in peace.
Mr.@Riley breaches regularly in the
Presbyterian Church at this place, and
by his liberal and exalted Christian views
and deep piety, he has greatly endeared
himself to the whole people of whatever
denomination. There can be no doubt
that his ministrations will result in much
lasting good to the entire community.

culiarities, partook of novel dinner at
