THE 4 WFUL PRISON PEN.

A. short history of the famous southern
prison pen will be read with interest !:
The first detachment of federal prisoners
was received at the Andersonville prison,
Feb. Is, 1864. Soon after John III. Win
der, confederate general, took command
of the fort, with his son, W. S. Winder,
an adjutant. The superintendency and
management of the prison was assigned
to Henry Wirz, Swiss by birth, who
was tried after the war by a special mill
tary commission for his cruel and inhu-
man treatment of the prisoners, and
hung Nov. 10, 1865. The total number
of prisoners received at the prison was
40,485, and the largest number in. the
prison at any one time was on Aug. g.,
1864, when they counted 33,OO6 on an
inclOsure of about twelve acres of ground.
counting out the dead line and quagmire.
The total number of deaths, as shown by
the register, was 12,462. Andersonville
is situated in Sumter county, Georgia.
The site selected was a pine and oak
grove of about twenty-five acres on the
side Of a hill Of red clay. The trees
were cut down and the inclosure sur.
rounded by a strong stockade of fifteen
or eighteen feet high. Near the base of
the e~declivity was a stream of unwhole-
some water about five feet wide and not
more than six inches deep. The pen was
1920 feet long by 779 feet wide, and at a
distance of 120 feet and surrounding the
inclosure was another palisade of rough
pine logs, and between the two were SEN
try boxes overlooking the interior. A
wooden railing about three feet high
around the inside of the stockade, at an
average distance of nineteen feet from it,
constituted the "dead-line" Prisoners
passing it were summarily shot dead. A
Gordon of connected earthworks mounted
with seventeen guns commanded the en-
tire prison, surrounding the outer pail
sades. The whole was guarded by from
5000 to 5000 confederates. Sunday

Il TALK WITH MRS. SCOTTSID.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.

The great granddaughter of the cele-
brated Sarah Siddons was found in the
I parlors of the Grand Hotel yesterday af-
ternoon. She is a petite lady only five
feet two inches in height. Her pictures
are good ikenesses of her, only picture
can never give to any one an idea of the
changeful EXPIRE ssions of her race. Her
smiles come and go like flashes Of light
while she talks, and she is certainly a
charming talker. When asked if she re-

mother, she said:

In speaking of her travels in America
she said:
"T like the American people very
much. When am in England I am fairly
set upon for speaking in such high praise
of American women. [ have travelled
through the United States for eleven years
and know all phases of society. The wo-
men here are very much better in
formed than the English women. Amer
can women possess certain grace and
ease, what the French call chic, that you
will not find even in the highest English
society. A servant girl here will dress
herself and tie on her veil in graceful,
natty way that an English Duchess knows
nothing about. I remember once when

how to wear my veil -
Speaking of her tour through the South,
Mrs. Siddons said:
II have never met with SO much en-
thusiasm as saw exhibited by the South
ern people. 1t was more Italian than
American. They conld appreciate even
the finest points in the Shakespeare read

As announced in these columns, the
educational meeting was held in Asso-

reading of scripture, and prayer, by
Rev. w. L. Bond. The audience con-
sisted chiefly of school children, with
about twenty ladies and gentlemen.
The first hour wQs occupied by Mr..

TIE CHICAGO CONVENTION

We had hoped that il would be
consistent and agreeable to Senator
Edmlmds to head the list Of capable
delegates which Vermont might send
to the Chicago convention. ii that
shall turn out to be so, we have no
doubt our people will be highly
pleased. But whether SO or not,
everything indicates that the inter
ests of Vermont will not suffer in
any event. Among names suggested
for DELEGATES at large, we notice
those of Hon. G. &. Benedict of
Burlington, Ion, i. +. Fitcld Of
Montpelier 4nd that Of Ex-Gov.
Stewart. Having such men from
which to select, and others of equal
ability, we shall not suffer By q
comparison with any other delega-
ton that Will attend the convention.
We hope or primary meetings will

the history of orr. country was it so
important that the feeling Of the
whole people should be developed

nominated through the .instrumen-
tahty Of the LdIYas which are 50
prevalent at this time and it should
afterwards turn out that the real
sentiments of the country had not
been consulted, we shall find that
much dreaded era in our government
in which an election of a President
shall occur too close for q peaceful
solution. 1t is more important
now than ever before that no sharp

part of the afternoon was taken up by

Mr.. Crippen then followed with very
able and interesting discussion on the
subject of leaves, their form, and an
analysis of their component parts. lie
thought that the subject of botany
should be taken up in our common
schools by the analysis of leaves &C.,
in the presence of the pupils, and that
few minutes each day should be Civ
en- to the subject. Mr. Conant then
opened the discussion Of the question,
'What shall be taught in our common
schools ?" lie, among other things,
favored the introduction of gymnastics
