II Proposed Ch0sa0e.

1t is probable that before long the
shifting and making up of freight trains
at the foot of Fourth street, on the p,
w. u b. r. H., will be stopped, and all
of this work done on the commodious
sidings at Browntown. The reason for
this proposed change Is the lack of room
in the vicinity of Fourth street. and also
of the inconvenience and danger to pass
ing teams on Fourth street imposed by
the shifting OF freight cars. There are
enough regular trains passing Fourth
street to make 1t dangerous point of
travel, and the removal of shifting oper
ations will prove a great advantage to
all concerned.

reads "Hardware;'' from the right,
"Woodenware,' and from the front
Horace Beall," The design is un-
ique in this country, and SO far as we
know Mr.. Hawke is the only artist
who can get them up.

I~nlnumanitx 10 Prisoners.

A blood curdling story comes from
down the river concerning the harsh,
not to say inhuman, treatment of
Mississippi penitentiary convicts re-
Gently employed in working near
Greenyille, Miss. A large crowd of
them were recently carried from
Greenyille to Vicksburg by the steam
0rs Dean and Silver. They were half
clad and almost wholly starved, the
pangs of hunger being so intense that
a number were seen to eat the cotton
oil waste from the boats engines.
Upon reaching Vicksburg too late for
the train going.out to Jackson, they
were drawn up in line on. the snow
covered landing for several hours.
Many were barefooted, and their suf-
fering from cold was equal to that of
hunger. One or two Of the party died
from want and exposure on the trip
from Greenvills, and the whole party
presented a gaunt, spectral and touch
ing picture of human suffering.
