Life Imprisonment.
A Punishment to Be Contempt ated wit
Unmitigated Horror.

philadelphia inquirer.l
Absolute isolation from humanity for a pe-
riod of years is so terrible punishment that
no man can contemplate it as happening to
himself. even though sustained by consciou
innocence without feeling of positive horror,
and the prospect transcends imagination when
the imprisonment is for life. To be inclosed
within four walls with no hope beyond them,
and to feel that there you must stay day after
day till carried out feet foremost must be the
nearest approach to final despair which an
combination Of earthly circumstances can pro-
duce.
OF the effect of this on the victims much ha
been said and written. 1t was singularly and
strikingl7 illustrated the other day by an oc-
currence st Cherry Hill. Among the 'lifers"
is young mana young manl-who was sem
fenced seven years ago. During that entire
time, it is said, he has apparently been for
gotten by all who sustained any relation to
him, whether of friendship or of kinship. He
had exchanged no word with any human be-
ing save his jailers, the inspectors and the mis-
sionaries who visited the prison. A day or
two since, one of the jailers announced to this
man that a lady had called to see him, and
asked whether he would receive her. The
prisoner was unable for some moments to
make any reply The color flew upin his face,
and then he had to lean for support against
the wall of his CELL
Then he detained the officers with specula-
tions as to who it could be; who of all the wo-
men that had cared for him before he was
overtaken by death in life had come to see
him after seven years. Wife he had none.
Was it his mother? his sister? OF the latter
which OF the girls, his playmates as an innocent
child, free to enjoy the sunshine and breathe
the country air, which of them had remem-
bered him? Who was it that had come to
bring him news of home?
The prisoner said, after his visitor had left
him, that when her arrival was announced he
thought his emotion would choke him, his
heart seemed ready to burst, and he had to
gasp for air, and hours elapsed after the visit
before the flood of memories it awakened per-
mitted the unhappy man to relapse into his
former state of sullen, silent endurance.
Very much in the same condition seems to
be Sayres, another life convict, the man who
walked into the Church of the Ascension one
Sunday morning when the services were near
ly over, and deliberately shot his wife, escap-
ing the gallows simply through the ability and
eloquence of the present assistant district at
tornev, Charles f. Warwick, the counsel as
the fortunes of his destitute client effectively
to the Board of Pardons. Sayres is great
sufferer from rheumatism, but it is said that
his bodily torments are far surpassed by his
mentA misery; that he is not by any means
reconciled to his fate, and contemplates the
future with blank despair.

Senator Edmunds.
His Letter to the Massachusetts Repubr-
cans.
BURLINGTON, VT, August Is, 1881

BURLINGTON, VT, August 10, 1881.
DEAR SR:-I have received yours of the 10th
inst. 1 am sincerely sorry that cannot, prop
erly, have the pleasure of accepting the very
gratifying invitation of the Republican State
central committee of Massachusetts, to attend
and address the convention at Worcester on
the 21st prox. My ill health in the spring led
me to devote the summer to its restoration by
appealing to the forest and the sky (as l have
with success), and by complete abstention from
public speaking So have hitherto declined
several invitations to speak-one or two of
them for the very day of your meeting can
not, therefore, fairly make an exception now,
tempting as the occasion is. Could l do so, 1
should be happy to visit Worcester and meet
the representatives of the Republicans of Mas
sachusetts, who, not long ago, did me great,
undeserved, and very much undesired honor.
To those who have faith in Republican govern
ment every convention of any political party
is a matter of interest. The character, inde-
pendence and courage of its members are a
valuable index of the progress of the people
who have chosen them and a comparison OF
the makeup of the conventions of different
parties will usually throw light ON political ten
CieS quite as Significant as the UeclarallODS
of platforms. The history of your conventions
shows that your political faith has come down
in living stream from the times OF Samuel
Adams and John Hancock, and, like all great
truths, it can be applied to the affairs of to-day
as conveniently and justly as to those of cen
tury ago.
The contest for the practical supremacy of
our principles is one that, in the nature of
things, rarely ends, for, in some form or other,
the safety of equal rights-equal in benefit and
equal in burden-is always menaced. Some
OF the immediate measures for these final OBJ
jects of good government, think, ought to be:
To preserve and improve the laws for the Sc
curlty of national civil rights; to make as eff
fective as possible provisions for the purity and
fairness of congressional elections; to estab-
lish by law the methods of ascertainiDg the
result of presidential elections, so as to give
the conclusive effect the constitution demands
to the action of each State and to prevent the
exercise by the houses of Congress Of any
thing in the nature of appellate or revisOry
power over the action of the constituted au-
thority of the state in such cases; to so improve
the civil service as to diminish, and if possible,
remove the evils of place-hunting and the in
terchange of favors between the members of
the legislative and executive branches of the
government, and to free the tenure of great
number of officers from dependence upon politi-
cal favor or political opinion; to readiust the
revenue laws upon the basis Of producing the
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1881-08-29

greatest revenue with the least and nearest
equal burden to the people, and of developing
and encouraging the industrial pursuits OF
every calling of our citizens; to bring both the
theory and practice of the government in re-
gard to the currency to the point Of fixed
ard uniform metallic standard of val ues and
making coin only legal tender in the pay
ment O. debts; and tS promote, so far as the
national government can lawfully do so, the
increase and diffusion OF education among all
the citizens and in every part of the Repnblic.
Surely, if am right in these views, there is
occupation enough for our grand party to in
duce us to drop all internal rivalries and dis
sensions, wherever they may exist, and to
strive, in unity and with zeal, for the success
that I am confident will follow. do not
doubt that the Republicans Of Massachusetts,
will do their full share in this good work.
Very respectfully yours,
GEORGE f. EDMUNDs.

THE New York Witness, which is cred
tied with being one of the most radical
temperance newspapers in the United
States, says of the movement now being
carried on by the temperance party in Ohio:
A grave mistake. we fear, is being made by
those temperance men in Ohio who are en-
gagged just now in the attempt to set up a
third party. Third party movements invaria-
bly, expose the temperance party to ridicule,
without accomplishing the object they seek.

THE normal rate of the pulse is variously
estimated, and depends upon the age and
other circumstances. For adults it is gen.
orally between 70 and IS beats per minute.
In exceptional cases, however, pulse as
low as go or as high as so may exist in a
healthy person. The normal temperature
of the human body always varies slightly.
In Dunglison's Medical Dictionary it is stat
to be from 9S0 to 1902 or upward. The ply
sicians in the Presidents case estimate the
normal temperature at from400 to 9S.S0. The
normal rate of respiration is estimated by
some at IS per minute. Others say it is
from Is to 20.

THE Yorktown centennial association es-
Inmates that there will be present al the Oc-
tober celebration not less than 10000 Ma
sons. There have already been 10000
troops announced as preparing to come, and
most of these have already arranged for
their own transportation. The Seventh
regiment of New York will be present, and
the governors of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Della
ware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin. Missis-
sppi and Georgia have announced their ac-
ceptance of the invitation to be present, and
will be accompanied by their respective
staffs.
THE population of Canada, according to a
census taken on the 4th of last April, is A.
350,933, or about that of the single State of
Pennsylvania. The increase during the
last ten years has been S65,172, or little
less than a quarter The proportionate
gain, therefore, was not equal to that made
in the United States between 1870 and 1880,
for we added to our population in that de-
cade something over thirty per cent, and
our increase alone was nearly three times
the total population of the Dominion.
There are in Canada only three cities of
large size, Montreal Toronto and Quebec,
and the greatest of them contains less popu-
lation than our third-rate towns. Montreal
has 140,6S2 inhabitants, or about seven
thousand less than Washington. Toronto
has Sc, ,445, not as many as Albany by three
thousand, and Quebec has only 62,477,
which is several hundred less than the pop
ulation of New Haven. The city of the
greatest growth during the last ten years
has been Toronto, which shows an increase
of 55t per cent, against 63 per cent for Chi
cago; and Quebec has made the smallest
proportionate gain, OF only Al per cent. st.
John has actually lost nine per cent of its
population. In the whole Dominion there
are only nine cities with population of A.
900 or over.
