Libby Prison.

Libby Prison has been, ever since the civil
war, an object of great interest to visitors from
the North, many of whom have had kinsmen
and friends imprisoned there, while not few
OF them have themselves been incarcerated
within its walls. The curiosity to see and 90
through the building (now become historic), es-
tally since the other prison, known as Cas-
tie Thunder, was destroyed last autumn by
fire, has been SO great as to put the persons do
ing business in it to no little Inconvenience.
Sometimes there would be a hundred callers
day, and as they all wanted to see every part
of 1t, they naturally interrupted the work of
the men employed in the tobacco factory,
which it was until recently. Among the callers
have been, of course, liberal proportion of
relic hunters, never satisfied to leave Richmond
without carrying off some memento of the rot
ed prison. Intent on this purpose, they would
knock a brick or part of brick from the wall.
cut piece of wood from the windows or strive
to wrest out one of the iron bars. So active
was this cratic industry that the building
babe fair to be entirely carried off in time, lit.
tie by little. Conspicuous signs were in conse-
quence put up, warning the public that anybo-
dy defacing the structure would be dealt with
according to law. Nevertheless, the chipping
and Disagreement continued by stealth, and
the quondam Libby was still beseiged with WIS.,
1torS. The proprletorS OF the tobacco factory
were at their wits end, and finally decided to
move out to avoid further annoyance For
some time nobody would lease the building
knowing with what they would have to con-
tend. At last the agents of Southern ferti-
LIKING company took the lease, thinking that
the thing in which they dealt would diminish
the enthusiasm and'curiosity of pilgrims to the
former capital of the Confederacy, and even
arrest the ever busy hands of relic hunters.
They were right. The old brick pile at the
corner OF Cary and Twentieth streets is still an
object of interest, and is still visited though to
a far less extent than when it was tobacco
factory. As Emerson puts it, at certain dis
tances the senses are despotic, and men and
women who have the saddest and most painful
recollections of the ancient prison are driven
away after glance or two by the potent ema-
nations of the fertilizers. No amount of senti.

have been forced to surrender their object at
ter breathing, for a few moments, the malodo-
rous atmosphere. 1t is comical to observe with
what zeal many pilgrims set out for the Libby.
aud with what precipitancy they retreat from
it in these days. Nobody wants now to 90
above the first floor, and they who have the
nasal courage to visit the former prison at all
do SO only with firm will and ready handker-
chief. Fertilizers have disenchanted, if thew
have not disinfected, the Libby prison.
