The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1879-01-03

The woman's prison and reformatory fol
kind in the world, receives all the female con-
victed criminals Of the state. A correspondent
OF the St. LOUIS Post describes the impressions
Of recent visit Ali incorrigible girls are also
sent here where they are received aud taught.
Among the inmates ara nearly fifty little girls
under II years of age, who had already entered
Quakeress, Sarah Smith, who with the assist
ance OF eight or nine women, manages this
whole institution, assembled with me the stairs
to the chapel, she said: Remember these girls
and women are from the very scum and off
securing OF Indiana" As looked upon them
l involuntarily exclaimed, Can it be posi-
ble?" About two hundred girls and women
were before me. Their faces were 80 clean
and their hair so smooth that they fairly shone.
Their countenances beamed with interest, and
neve. for one moment would have imagined
them to be criminals, but only company OF
school girls Of ordinary intelligence. There
was not suggestion Of prison garb. They all
wore neat calico dresses and neat little white
collars. Some had their hair braided some
wore 1t short, but every one showed that cul-
tivation of neatness of person, which is one OF
the most refining influences which can be
brought to bear upon and cherish the self
respect necessary to virtuous womanhood. In
o1e corner sat the fifty or sixty little girls, all
dressed in neatly made calico dresses, and look
ing 80 interesting and happy that my mothers
heart would go'out to them In affection. They
listened to several short addresses, Joined in
singing (and, by the way, they sing beautifully
led by young lady who, having passed her
term OF imprisonment Of four years with out
ever having once been reproved, is free and is
now employed as an officer of the institution)
aud preserved the most perfect order.
OF the inmates received 80 per cent. have
been permanently reformed. Only think of it
Aud 1t IS all the work OF women. Men we're
skeptical when the ideaSwas proposed They
declared that women could never manage the
hardened criminals who were then in the
various jaiIs aud prisons. When this institu-
iton was opened number of the most harden
ed and abandoned women were brought there
In CHAINS Sarah Smith ordered their chains
off, and she controls them all with pure strength
OF moral force. 1t ID truly won 1erful Never
have seen anything that 30 inspired me with
hope that fallen humanity may be reclaimed as
this sight. OF the workings Of the institution 1t
would take several columns to tell. The only
objection that has ever been urged to it is that
the Inmates are made too comfortable. But
they are all kept industriously at work. They
are taught the rudiments Of education; they
are compelled to lead lives Of purity and order,
and il any one can show that they would be
morally improved by making them physically
uncomfortable, or by branding them with
prison costume, or keeping them In manacles
and handouts when they can be governed
without, on him let the burden OF proof fall.

The Nation. IN recent article setting forth
the advantages OF the national banking syatem
OF The United States and the defects OF the
English system, presents facts deduced from
the annual report of the Comptroller Of the
Currency which will be read with much interest.
II appears that at the ED OF the years since its
establishment, and after a crisis OF unexampled
severity, the entire losses sustained by the pub
lie from the operation of over 1900 banks,
have been less than six and a-half millions OF
dollars. The provision OF the law requiring
one-tenth of the net earnings TO be set aside
as a surplus fund has been most sautary III its
operation Out Of this surplus the banks have
charged of S64,O00,00O, and are still able to
maintain an aggregate surplus Of s1ls,0OO0OO
capital Not dollar has been lost to bill hold
ers while under the State system the Comp
troler states the average loss to bill-holders
alone at 5 per cent. on the circulation issued,
or about 316OOO,COO.
The saving IN domestic exchange under the
national banking system is immense, and is es-
timated by the Comptroller at from S20,000,0OO
to S6O,0O0,OO0. Between New York and Chica.
go, Cincinnati and st. Louis, the former rates
OF TO ~ per cent. are now reduced to an
average of less than one tenth of per cent.
The increased security OF the notes is a promi
oent feature-not only the entire assets OF the
bank, but the personal liability Of the stock
holders and the guaranty OF the Federal Gov
eminent are pledged for their ultimate re-
demption

His First Sight Of Zoe.

The following incident Of the
cold spell of 1s47 is related by the
Santa Barbara Press:
General (then Lieutenant Colo.
nell John G. Fremont entered
Santa Barbara with his battalion
ut that time, having passed the
range by the San Marcos road. and
camped with his command on the
ground now occupied by the build
ing of the Sisters of Charity. Mr..
Streeter was then boarding
with Mrs. Burke, who sup
piled the officers of the
command with milk, which
was carried to the camp by her son.
Miguel Burke, whom everybody
knows, was, at that time, seven or
eight years of age. One morning,
after an unprecedentedly cold
night, the boy, accompanied by
Mr.. Streeter, started for the camp.
On reaching the low ground just
east of camp he SAW something
strange and to him ineXplicable.
Turning to Mr.. Streeter, he said,
"Look! What is the matter with
the water? 1t is all covered with
glass;" Mr.. Streeter explained to
the boy that 1t was ice, which he
had never seen before, and per-
suaded him to venture out on it to
sae II it would bear his weight.
>1he ice, being three-fourths of an
inch in thickness, easily bore up
the light weight of the boy, and he
crossed on the crystal bridge.
Returning from the camp he found
q stone aud broke out piece of
the Ice, which he took home to
show to his mother. Upon reach
ing home, however, he was much
bothered by the moisture which
gathered on the surface of his sam
pie. He tried wiping it off with
his coat sleeve, but finding that of
no avail, he stood 1t up alongside
Of the stove and left it to dry,
which it did effsctualiy, for when
he returned it had melted and
dried up entirely.
