Washington Territory is ambitious
to become State, and q convention
has rcccntlv bcon held to form q COLI
stitntion, with view to it's admission
to the Union. The result was a very
crcditablc picco of work, and if it
We're simply question of constitutions.
nobody could raise any objection to
the admission Of q Territory which
presents a better organic law than
some Of the old States. But as Wash
ington Territory had a population in
1870 of only 1855, exclusive of Indi-
ans, and claims only dozen or fifteen
thousand more now, there will proba-
bly, be some opposition to its WELDING
as much power in the Senate of tho
United States as Commonwca|ths
which boast a population of q hundred
times as large. Political considcra-
tons, indeed, have sometimes tri-
umphcd over such Inconsistencies, but
the Democrats will probably think
twice before admitting another State
from the Northwest with the memory
of their Colorado experiment still
fresh.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 23.-The Sentinel
contains an account Of horrible atroci-
ties III the milwaukee, house Of correc-
ton. The institution is used at tho
discretion Of the court as State pris-
on. An intelligent convict, just re-
leased, whose character for vcracity is
vouchcd for by prominent pc sons
who know him intimately, states that
he has been an inmate for two years.
All that time he was not allowed to
write to his counsel, friends or family,
who supposed him dead. lie says tic
bread furnished to the convicts is made
IRON damaged cow feed, and this stuff
Is paid Tor by the county at the rate of
SO barrel. During his confinement
embryo calves, dogs and glandcrcd
horses have been furnished rs meat,
and he brings tho bones, which arc
now in the possession Of the editor of
the Sentinel, to prove it.. Tho details
III this respect arc horrible beyond
description. Or tho brutality Of the
keeper he says the prisoners were
beaten and confined in the black-holc,
which is filthy dog-kcnncl Of five
feet four inches by fire feet. A man
cannot lie at length in this kennel, nor
is there any ventilation. Tho floor
Is covered with indcscribablc filth.
Men arc placed there for twenty days
at time, and two to his knowledge
have died from the effects described.
There Is a chair factory connected
with the institution, and it is charged
that the police arc in collusion with
the superintendent to kidnap men to
work at chair-making. Tho whole
story is tho most startling and revolt
ing ever published in this country,
and it is claimed that tho charges can
al bo verified.

LITTLE MARIE.

Once upon time there was very
good King and Queen. wont say of
what country, for l am not sure
whether they ever lived or not. But
we will say that they did.
We'll, to proceed with the story, they
had two children. Il boy and !, girl.
The boys name was Harry and the
girPs Marie. Marie was six years old
and her brother four years old.
One day they were in their nursery
maius-thnt was very few for them
when all of sudden there came a
knock at the door and their mamma
and papa walked in. They had quite
q crowd with Them, rs you may well
suppose.
Marie and Harry made a Jump, and
just as their father was on the point of
sitting down Harry jumped up on his
knee and almost fell over on his head.
TO save himself he caught hold Of his
fathers head, and the crown fell of
and struck Marie on the head. She
screamed and tainted. When she was
picked up she was found to be very
badly hurt The court physician said
he did not think shc could live, so
Harry was sent to Germany the next
wcck-to Baden Baden.
Marie was very sick. 1t was the
first week III December when she was
able to sit up. Harry came home the
next week; the next week was Christ
mas. You can imagine what a happy
Christmas they had. They had large
Christmas trco. All NTaric's friends
and lIarry's friends and relations join
ed hands.
And what do you think Marie and
Harry had for n Christmas present
~ little brother and sister.
Marie sat in large arm chair with
nurse and baby Oh each side Of her,
and all of the company joined
hands and danced around her, singing

RISING AMERICAN N0YELIsTs.

Fears have sometimes been express
] ed lest when the eminent authors of
this generation passed away no s,lcccs-
sors should arise to fill their places, no
new Tcnnysona, Longfellows and
George Elli0tt's be found. In the de-
partmcnt of fiction, however, these
fears seem to bc unfoundcd, Judging
! from the contents ofn literary journal
printed or rather written for private
circulation in the near ncighb0rhood
Of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn. The
contributors are Young ladies ranging
in age from eight to eleven, and after
the manner Of the novcl-writing craft
they deal largely with the adventures

WILL AND IIELENA--A LOVE TALE.
Once upon.a time in Spain there
lived beautiful lady called Helena.
She was in love with q minister whose
name was VIII. Her father wanted
her to marry an Earl, but she did not
love him.
Her father appointed tho wedding
day and hour. When it came all the
nobility was there but no VIII.
Two years afterwards an elegant
carriage rolled up to tho door and Il
Duke alightcd. lie went to Hclcna's
father and said, "Vhcrc is Helena?

is Hclcna?" he repeated. Her father
replied, "ln the gardcn-undcr the

He went out in the garden and there
stood a plain gray cross with "Iiclc-
ia" omit.
The other story is of less romantic
and mournful character, dealing with
the domestic life ofmonarchs and their
children. The central incident, SO far

On TUESDAY elections take place in

Butler will be badly beaten for gov-

very few politicians have any hope of
clccting Robinson. Tho Republicans
boast that they will elect their whole
ticket by twcnty.fiyc, thousand majori-

can possibly get through, but tho
Democrats ought to elect tho balance
OF tho ticket. Tho Republicans have
gerrymandcred the assembly districts
to secure The Legislature, and besides
this, Tammany and Anti-Tammany
have each its candidates in the City of
New York, thus sonding the city over
to the Republicans. New York is a

wrangling of Democratic leaders gives
fair promise of its landing over in tho
Republican column. We only hope
that the vote may bo close this year,
