caused by the development of the coke

The complaint is frequently made
that a man who is sent to State prison is com
PEELED to associate with degraded people. There
is great deal OF humor and of truth in this
complaint At the same time it might be said
that every accession of new degraded criminal
makes the old degraded criminal worse; and
that when a man Of good education, from guod
society, goes into prison he makes the harden
cd ones feel less like reforming. The only way
of reforming the hardened ones is for the real
splendid fellows to stay out OF State prisons.

From SlmIa the news OF the calam-

its official form, is that General Burrows has
been severely defeated" But Major General
Primrose, who is at Candahar-that is, only
eighty miles from the field of battle-says
bluntly, General Burrows force is annihila-
ted" General PRIMROSE probably knew what
his words meant, and as he certainly could have
no disposition to exaggerate the fact-for part
of the responsibility of this event falls upon him
and without any of that official consideration
of public opinion which softens defeats and
magnifes victories, it is probable that his is the
accurate statement, and that the fugitives COM

allied crowd of non-combatants that goes with
the army.
