The testimony of Charles E. Bancroft,
convict, at the Massachusetts prison inves-
tigation yesterday, is worth more than mere
mention. If true, there seems no reason to
doubt it. Bancroft, when a boy of II, was
sent to the New Hampshire prison for five
years. although he was innocent of the crime
with which he was charged; with broken
down constitution he came to Boston, and,
failing to obtain work, because of his prison
experience. stole and served term in the
House of Correction in consequence; failing
again, he committed another theft and spent
three years in the Massachusetts State Prison.
Emerging in 1875, he worked his passage to
South America, where he was unknown, and
lived an honest life until the climate forced
his return to the United States. In Boston,
to use his own words, he ''tried to obtain
light work which 1 could do, but it was in
vain. My recommendations were from prison
officials, for had neither wealth nor in
fluence to obtain others. l could not get a
chance to earn my living, and, in despair, I
stole again, and am now serving sentence
of ten years" In response to questions.
Bancroft said that he had no home, and in
the world could get no work; he preferred to
live an honest life, but the hearts of the
community were steeled against him. and, on
the whole, he had better spend the remainder
of his days in prison where he was kindly
treated. The melancholy and despairng
manner in which the poor fellow uttered
these words, his voice enfeebled by what will
prove fatal illnesss, touched the hearts of all
who heard him, and brought tears to many
eyes. The lesson they teach is too obvious
for comment.-Boston Tlareller.

MY DEAR TrTIAN-Allow me to introduce to
you my particular friend, Mr.. George D. Evans.
He has q claim of some magnitude that ne
wishes you to help him In. Put him through
you would me. He understands addition,
division, and silence. w. III. KEMBLE.
In half a dozen words the writer OF this
letter laid down the principle which was
then the guiding rule OF his career, and has
continued as such ever since.
court of justice has convicted William
II. Kemble OF practicing at Harrisburg the
criminal methods that are summed up in
his own phrase, addition, division and
silence. On Monday last an upright Judge
sentenced the convict to solitary confine-
ment at hard labor in the Eastern Peniten-
tiary of Pennsylvania. Kemble's term OF
imprisonment is one year; the sentence car
rles with IL disqualification for life for hold
ing any Office of honor, profit or trust in the
Commonwealth.
This is severe but Just sentence. The
Eastern Penitentiary OF Pennsylvania is we
believe, the only penitertiary in the United
States where the separate system is still
maintained. The most hardened conyicts,
the oldest Jail birds, dread being sent there.
1t was inevitable that this fate should
come, sooner or later, to the man who
shamelessly avowed his profession OF plum
dering, and openly practiced it.

The Blue and the GRAY.

From a Washington Dispatch.l
There was a slight sensation IN the House
when General Joe Johnston ported and bad
read bill authorizing the Secretary OF the
Treasury to transfer 10 the Fairmount Park
Art Association thirty condemned cannon,
TO be used in the erection OF a monument TO
General George Gordon Meade, commander
of the Union forces on the Potomac toward
the close OF the rebellion. II will be re-
membered that General Johnston engaged
General Meade in several battles. General
Johnston, when he reported the bill, was
surrounded by his ex-Confederate comrades,
but when he asked unanimous consent that
the bill should pass at once. there was not
single objection, and in less than ten min
utes, by the voice and votes of ex-Confed-
crates, this tribute was paid to the dead
Union soldier. General Johnston seemed
well-pleased with what he had accomplished,
and walked around among the members
smiling and receiving their congratulations.
