Pricing up Prisoners.

Colonel J. l.. Broome, of the United States Marine Corps, was directed by the Secretary of the Navy to examine the prisons and the prison system of several of the States. He did so. In his re- port he speaks as follows of the punish ment of prisoners at Sing Sing prison New York: T visited the punishment room, in which there were two small tackles, the upper blocks of which were hooked in the ceiling. I requested the principal keeper to explain in what man. ner the punishment of tricing up by the thumbs was inflicted, which he pro- ceeded to do by directing prisoner (who was evidently there for the purpose of carrying out the keepers orders in punishing prisoners) to hold up his thumbs, which he did, when the keeper fastened cord of good sized fishing line stuffround each thumb, and then hooked the lower blocks into an "eye" of each cord he then hauled on each tackle un- til the mans toes Just touched the floor, leaving him hanging almost the weight of his body by his thumbs. could see by the increased color of the prisoner s face that the punishment must be an ex- ceedingly painful one, although the man was lowered down in fifteen seconds. In order to understand practically the kind of punishment, I requested the keeper to trice me up, which he assented to. and I was hoisted up in the manner have described forty seconds. I could not have understood from seeing this pun ishment how painful it was. I am quite satisfied from my experience that mar subjected to it for five minutes must be severely injured, as both my thumt joints were painful for two days iron the effects of forty seconds tricing up. The keeper said he has kept prisoner triced up by the thumbs, as have des cribed, one hour. What the effect of il was on the man he did not say, but i
 can be correctly imagined.

MiscegenatiOn in Virginia.

In the United States Circuit Court of
 Richmond, Va, writ of habeas corpus in the miscegenation case of the negro, Edmund Kinney, and the white woman, Mary Hall, now confined in the Peni- tentiary for violation of the State statute prohibiting the intermarriage of races, was refused by Judge Hughes, on the ground that the United States courts have no jurisdiction over questions of marriage. The opinion holds that the laws of marriage are at the sovereign control and will of each State, unaffected by any provision or any article of the Constitution of the United States that absolute and entire power over these laws is necessarily left, all over the world and in this Union of States, to the government of local society that the law under which the persons were con- victed was in the unrestrained legislative power of Virginia to enact, and that it is not prohibited by any provision of the national Constitution. As to making contracts, the opinion holds that section 1877 of the Revised Statutes, which se- cures to all persons in the United States the right in every State to make and en- force contracts, etc., can only refer to contracts lawful under the law of the States wherein it is proposed to enforce them. Admitting that marriage is con- tract, the opinion holds that the privi. oE Io @1
 ful marriages, and that if 8 citizen oi Virginia went to the District of Colum
 bia or to the Territory of Utah, and wal there married in accordance with the To-
 cal law, he could not return with his consort or consorts to Virginia and ex
 pect to subordinate her laws of marriage to the laws of other jurisdiction. The case will probably be taken to the Su
 preme Court of the United States.

Opium Instead of Rum.

Attention begins to be attracted to the great increase in the consumption of opium in this country. This increase is the result of it's larger use as stimu- lant. In many cases where drunkard has suddenly left off the use of alcoholic drinks, after having been accustomed to them for many years, it would be found, if the truth were known, that opium, in some form, has been adopted as sub- stitute.
 An instance came to our knowledge recently, says an exchange, of middle aged mechanic, who, after. repeated at tacks of delirium tremens, having been warned by physician that the next at- tack would probably prove fatal, had left off drinking. This had occurred several years ago. The man had work considerable portion of the time. Still his family continued wretchedly poor. This was explained by the discovery that he and his wife each indulged in an ounce of laudanum day.
 We have known some distinguished temperance lecturers from the class of reformed drunkards who regularly drew ther inspiration from the mouth of 8 laudanum bottle.
 Some persons think the habitual use of opium is less objectionable than the habitual use of alcoholic stimulants. We would say, however, of these two evils choose neither.
 The habit of using opium is heater, but it is hardly less destructive to the moral sense. It is habit which is gen, orally indulged very secretly; and, in- deed, it seems to increase the disposi- tion to secretiveness, in it's victims, in regard to other matters also. A Con- necticut physician in extensive practice brides himself on his treatment of cases of confirmed opium eab4Ag, and made a speciality of curing such. Among his patients was highly cultivated woman in whom he took particular interest. He gradually diminished the allowance of opium to her until it dwindled down to nothing, and she assured him that she was completely cured, and that she cared nothing whatever for the drug any longer. The doctor was much elated at his success, until, some time afterward, he learned from druggist that his pa. tient had been privately purchasing opium all the while, and that so far from diminishing the quantity she took she had been steadily increasing it.
 The best time to leave off the use O both rum and opium is before you be. l pin it.

How to Cook Fish.

MT. l.. Delmonico, the New. York ca terer, has been telling the public the best ways of cooking fish. Boiling seems to him the "most legitimate" as we'll as quickest and most convenient. His direction is to put them in cold spring water-the less the quantity of water that the fish can be boiled in the better-with handful of salt. Rub a little vinegar on the skin of the fish, to prevent it from cracking, and to make the flesh solid. Ten minutes to the pound should be allowed for salmon, and three or four minutes for almost any other kind; but a good general rule is that the fish is done when the fins pull out easily" MT. Delmonico also says that broiled fish should be carefully split in two from head to tail, dried, sea- soned with salt and pepper, greased with little oil (which is preferable to butter), and broiled to a nice brown color, the gridiron having been previous ly well greased, too ;" that baked fish, to be eaten in perfection, should be "cooked with wine, either white or red, in the baking dish, besides chopped onion, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and while cooking this sauce should be spread over it several times ;'' and that small fish may be ss deliciously fried in oil, after dipping in milk and then flour, or in very hot grease, after being breaded with beaten eggs and crumbs. "
