The SENTINEL would like to .call the attention of the Board of Prison Commissioner to the law under which they are working, in the matter of the inn movements now in progress. The first and principal section of the act says:
 G It shall be the duty of the Board of Territorial Prison Com mISSiouerS, as soon as practicabl ble after the ps Ssage Of this Act, to carefully examine into the en- plOynent Of all cOnvicts Tn the territorial priSon, and to deter mine upon that mode of em pl0y- ment of said convictS, for the next two years, that Will ia their. Judgment prove most advantag- euu5 to the Territory; anal to this end stid B14rd snail in4estig Ite
 
 and ascertain how far, and in what manner, said convict labor can be utilizal in continuing inc construction of the prison buii,l- ing, or the walls enclosing the same, or necessary buildings con nected with tho prison. to be used for workshop, pr other pur- poses, and the amount of money that will ba required for mat -ri- als for such construction and other Incidental expenses con- nected herewith. Said Board shall also examine into such other mode or modes of employment as may seem to them feasible, and after a full examination into the whole subject of utilizing said convict labor, shall make 10 the Governor oftAis Territory a full report of their examination and conclusions as to the best mode of employing aud utilizing said convict labor, if in their opinion it can bp so utilized, with detail- ed estimates thereof so far aS practicable. and the amount of money required therefor, and how much thereof will be le- quired the first yer and how much for the second year"

the sum If S20,0J0 is appropriated
 towards the purchase Uf m1teri Il
 to be used for tne purpose dpsig-
 mated by the Board. From the
 foregoing it will be seen that
 there are two points contempIat-
 ed in the bill, viz: first, ihe utili-
 ZatiOn of the convict lahOr; and,
 second, the application of this
 labor towards NEEDED improve
 ments. Of the original appropri-
 alton 1000 have been expended,
 and we will say wisely so. There
 yet remains the sum of $13,000,
 and with this amount the Board
 proposes to build ten. additional cells. Against this we prol est,
 for the reason that the proposed
 improvement is not necessary, and because, further there ar. many other purposes to which this money could he devoted
 with far more benefit to the Ter ritOry and the good appearance of the prison grounds. There are now in the prison l6 cells. As these cells are made to hold six men, the requirements of the prison in this respect are more than met, there being only 42 prisoners. TliS leaves three cells entirely empty and many of the others not entirely filed. 1t is not within the bounds of reason to suppose that these cells will all be filed within the coming year. Furthermore, within the !, next six months the terms of ! several now in confinement will i expire, leaving room for st.ll | more. From the number of in- i dlctments now pending, it will take a larger percentage of con- vlctiOns than the criminal annals ofthis Territory ha veyet shown, to make the prison anything like full. Thus it would appear to any reasoning mind that the of additional cells was not needed at present. But there Ire improvements which are leeded both for the safety and convenience, as well as the ap- ,earance of the prison. In the lrst place, there should De built n the prison grounds a residence or the Warden. This we deem 9 De the most necessary of any f the many improvements 'hic h could be made.

see the mad wasp singing the spiders
without killing them, and packing them
away where they are kept alive for
weeks to be used when needed. | have
seen small green worm hanging down
limb above, pull up the web and, just as
the worm comes within reach of his tiny
claws. down drops Mr.. Worm. The
ant pulls up again and again, and worm
let's out another reef and goes down.
This sort of thing continues until finally
the ant grapples the worm and both &c
down together in grand scramble, in
which the worm manages to shake off
the ant. This leaves the worm on the
ground. His web is so strong that the
other end is still fastened to the limb
above. What does Mr.. Ant do? Give
it up? No, sir. / have seen him 90 up
the trunk of that tree crawl out on the
same limb and go to work again pull
ing up the same web. Then after an
other battle, / have known the ant to
get the better of the fight and lug
the worm off to his hole, three rods
away"
why, talk about reasoning powers!

little creatures are wonderful. People

stand up in the boat, drop their lines
three feet away and wonder because they
don't catch trout. They forget that
trout can see Fish learn to tackle and
fish are, as q rule, local in their habita-
ton. There are not as many gypsies
among fish as among men. Any man
who will take the pains to study fish
or who may remember 1.-THE of what

There is peculiar case before the
Surrogate Court of New York. John T.
Collins, an ordinary day laborer, died
and was buried with such gorgeousness
that the undertaker's bill amounted
to 5000. The claim presented by the
undertaken is based on a contract made
with Collins before death. calling Ior an
elaborate and expensive burial The
coffin was lined with embossed satin,
covered with fine cloth and velvet, and
trimmed with screws and handles of
gold and silver. The body was dressed
in an embroidered satin habit, The
referee in the case is Mr.. Walter Howe,
who maintains that the contract was
void, for want of consideration. This is
rather an odd case, and 1t remains to be
seen what the court will hold, as there
is some interest In knowing if post
mortem vanity and spiritual glorification
is enhanced by such mortal hourishes.

Thnnrhts frnm Emerson.

We owe to man higher succors than
food and fire. We owe to man man.
Nature is a rag merchant, who works
up every shred and odd and end into
new creations.
Poetry is the only verity-the express
sion of sound mind speaking after the
ideal, and not after the apparent.
Wherever there is power there is
age. Don't be deceived by dimples and
curls. I tell YOU that a babe is a thous-
and years old.
The man that works at home helps
society at large with somewhat more OF
certainty than he who devotes himself
to charities.
The trrest test of civilization is not
the census, nor the size of cities, nor the
crops,-no, but the kind of man the
country turns out.
Every man is not so much work
man in the world as he is a suggestion
OF that he should be. Men walk as
prophecies of the next age.
Every genuine work of art has as
much reason for being as the earth and
the sun. The gayest charm of beauty
has root in the constitution of things.
The less government we have the bet
| ter-the fewer laws and the less conf
ded power The antidote to this abuse
| of formal government is the influence
of private character, the growth OF the
| Individual.
No way has been found for making
heroism easy, even for the scholar. La
| hor, iron labor, is for him. The world
| was created as an audience for him; the
atoms of which it is made are oppor-
| tunities.
Our efficiency depends so much upon
| our concentration that nature usually
in the instances where a marked man is
| sent into the world, overloads, him with
bias, sacrificing his symmetry to his
working power.
1t never was in the power of any man
or community to call the arts into be-
| ing. They came to serve his actual
wants, never to please his fancy. These
arts have their origin always in some
enthusiasm, as love, patriotism, OF re-
ligion.
The high prize of life, the browning
fortune of man, is to be. born to some
pursuit which finds him in employment
| and happiness -whether it be to make
! baskets, or broadswords, or canals, or
statutes, or songs.
Life is succession of lessons which
must be lived to be understood. All is
a riddle, and the key to riddle is an
other riddle. There are as many pill
lows of illusions as flakes in a snow
storm. We wake from one dream into
another dream.
Our life is an apprenticeship to the
truth that around every circle another
can be drawn; that there is no end in
nature, but every end is q beginning;
that there is always another dawn risen
on midnoon, and under every deep a
lower deep opens.
1t only needs that a just man should
walk in our streets to make it appear
how pitiful and inartifcial "a contriv-
ance is our legislation. The man whose
part is taken and who does not wait for
society in anything, has power which
society cannot choose but feel.
The restraining grace of common
sense is the mark of all valid minds
of Esop, Aristotle, Alfred, Luther,
Shakespeare, Cervantes, Franklin.
The common sense which does not med
die with the absolute, but takes things
at their word-things as they appear.

General Sherman as a Presiding Officer.
| Those who would learn how to run a
| political caucus had better take note of
| General Shcrman's style OF presiding
and conducting the machine at the
army reunion. says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. Here it IS:
The meeting will come to order. All,
yes! TNodding to an officer about to
| rise. General Hickenlooper moves the
| appointment of Committee on Creden-
| tials taking a paper from his left vest
pocket, The committee will consist of
| General Hickealooper, Colonel A. and
Major B. We must be speedy, gentle
| men, in arranging these details.

And so on in cheerful disregard of or

then allows other voices to be heard.
And it is amusing to him thus to play

The General, who is to preside at the
| Army of the Tennessee banquet, has a
horror of second-wind oratory. Upon

who followed him, said: Il have listen-
ed with intense patience to the eloquent
gentleman who has now sat down. :"

Texans Discover a Valuable Weed,

In the Brazos bottom grows a weed
in height fifteen or twenty feet that is
said to be almost as nutritious as corn.
1t is called the ..blood weed" from the
fact that when broken there escapes a
Juice that is almost as red as blood.
Many farmers feed their work stock
but once day with corn. The other
two meals are made by stalking on
blood weed. There are many instances
where crops are raised by feeding the
work stock exclusively on this nutri-
tious weed Horses and cattle esteem it
more highly than almost any other food.

ONE of the most eminent of German
medical men is reported as saying that
there are not less, probably, than 10000
persons in Germany who have become
slaves to the habit of hypodermically
injecting morphine. There are many
who take as as much as eighteen in
jections every day, Some have hardly
a square inch of skin on their bodies
which is not marked by scars produced
by this practice. Slaves of this habit
are even more hopelessly enchanted than
those who take opium in other ways,
and it is speedier distinction.
