Horrible Treatment.

London, IA Paris correspond
emit forwards the second letter writ
ten in blood by Nihilist in a fort
at st. Petersburg. 1t describes the
narrowing treatment of prisoners.
The prisoners Tot away and exhale
the odOrs of dead bodies before life
is extinct. The number of those who
were made mad In consequence OF
sufferlngs is daily increasing. Mad
men ere stripped down and whipped
by knots by the keepers, and fierce
yells resound throughout the night.
Many prisoners have committed
suicide. 1t is said one woman was
outraged and then poisoned. In
quiry into the affair has been
instituted. Rats are the worst enc
mics of the prisoners. A woman
with a babe was obliged to be con-
stantly on the watch and fight night
and day to prevent rats devouring
the child. The use of combs and
soap is forbidden. Prisoners, es~
pecially women, whose hair is al
lowed to grow, are literally
devoured by lice. Prisoners who
refuse to reply to questions are tor
tured, and cases of violation of
women are frequent. The writer
appeals to the civilized
world in behalf of the women in
the prison; their situation, he says,
Is far worse than the mems.

Clothes.

A German writer says that "one
Of mans principal defensive wea-
pons in his struggle for existence is
his clothing" The place it takes
In the history of civilization and it's
connection with physiology are not
often thought of. 1t is spoken Of
from moral and aesthetic point of
view; its main purpose is q purely
hygenic one. There is much truth
In this. The seeds of grave disor-
derS and chronic illness are fire..
quently sown through the neglect
Of well-known principles in regard
to clothing. As Carlyle says,
" within the most starched cravat
there passes windpipe, and under
the thickest embroidered waist
coat there beats a heart" and
all these organs, as well as
others which Carlyle does not name,
need to be protected by clothing.
Clothes do not make men, although
some persons dress as if they did.
There are those who are nothing
more or less than clothes-screens.
Clothes are not, as some suppose,
for the purpose Of keeping the cold
from us, for, Ia truth, we could not
bear garments which did not allow
of continual ventilation of our
surfaces. 1t is not the densest, thick
est or heaviest material that we
need in cold weather. It is of COM
paratively little use in these DAYS to
call out for an utter emancipation
from fashion-perhaps such an en-
ancipation might not be altogether
wise if it could be effected; but
where custom is tyrannical there the
man OF the woman who has q care
for health and comfort should
be above the custom,

Fraudulent Proceeding.

firm is known as Flemming & Mer-

commission business on the Chica-
60 board of trade induced a great
many in the United States and

in this manner to exceed 1,OOO, 900

the form of a sp EQUATION on the

ers from time to time large divi-
dends upon their investments. The

Said an old army correspondent re-
garding the revelations of gambling
among army officers at Washing
ton: "It is not to be wondered at
that idle army officers should gam.
BILE when it is a fact that the vice
was common one during the
most active campaings of the
late war. l have seen men
spend the evenings between two
days or battle in playing cards
for stakes. It wasn't exactly gamb.
ling under fire, but it was the next
thing to it. There was hardly an
officers mess, regimental or staff.
that was not a poker club, and
thousands of dollars changed hands
after each visit of the paymaster.
Freeze-out poker, the winner to
maintain the mess until the next
pay day, was a common form of
gambling among the officers. MANY
OF the private soldiers were
lively gamblers, and hardly
a company was without it's

upon commissioners, quartermasters
