Terrible Tales Of The Russian Prison
Houses.
LONDON, December 1O.-A Paris cor
respondent forwards the second letter
written in blood by Nihiiist in TrOub-
leski fort at st. Petersburg. 1t describes
narrowing treatment of the prisoners
and says their food is often mOuldy and
sometimes putTid; dysentary and scurvy
are prevalent and the doctors are afraid
to touch their patients. Few medicines
are prescribed and when ordered gener-
ally cOuntermanded. The prisoners
pine away and exhale the Odors of the
dead bodies before life is extinct. The
number of those who go mad in cOnse-
quence Of their suffeTings is daily in
creasing. Mad men are strapped down
and whipped with the knOut by their
keepers. Fierce yslls resOuud through
out the night. Many prisoners have
committed suicide. IL is said one wO-
man was outraged and then poisoned,
but inquiries into the affair have been
instituted. Rats are the worst enemies
of the prisoners. A woman with babe
was obliged to be constantly on watch
and fight night and day to prevent the
rats from devOuring her child. The
use of combs and soap are forbidden,
and prisoners, especially women, whose
hair is allowed to grow, are literally de
VOured by lice.

Repudiating the Alleged Secession speech
Not Correctly Reported
Speaker Carlisle repudiates the report
OF his Cynthiana speech published in the
Cincinnati Gazette several years ago
To Tribune correspondent Mr.. Carlisle
said: 81 remember the circumstances
very well. There was no verbatim re-
port of the speech, for no reporter was
present. [ saw the acgOunt in the Ga
zOtte at the time, and | understood it was
written two or three days after the
speech was delivered, from information
furnished by my opponent TO somebody
In COvingtOn. The report makes me
say that the GOveTnmenG of the United
states is vicious SYSTEM which is q
prepOsteTOu5 statement. Everybody
knows never thought nor said that the
constitutional right of secession did not
exist. did say that the only remedy
of people suffering from wrongs was
in revolution; that If they succeeded
they became heroes, while if they failed
they were traitors. l am a Democrat,
and in the speech mentioned | did criti-
else the policy of the Administration
very severely, and probably denounced
it as vicious which was a very differ
ent thing from saying that the Govern
ment itself was a vicious system |
spoke in very severe terms Of the send
ing of troops into the South for tine puT-
pose, as | asserted, CT controlling cleo
tiOns. / also denounced a proposition
that had been offered by somebody in
Congress, but which was not then pend
ing, TO give the General Government
control of the public school system of
the country. My speech was campaign
effort in reply to my opponent. who had
abused the South in his speeches, and,
of course, the words / used were chosen
for the effect they would produce on
such an occasion and upon such an audi
ence had before me. The canvass was
pretty hot one"

The Old Round Tower.

Those who visit Newport, Rhode
Island, are shown the old round tow
er, which is one of the chief attrac-
tions of this place. This was probably
built by the Norsemen early in the
thirteenth century, and was used by
them as tower in which to flee for
safety when attacked by the natives.
1t was their tower of safety, and if it
could talk, what volumes of history
could it relate. Just as it was a tower
of safety to the early discoveries Of
America, so is Pero0ea to the citizens
of our country to-day. AS it is pre-.
pared exclusively from vegetable
compounds, and contains no poison
Gus minerals, it is peculiarly adapted
to all who need a tonic for their worn
out systems. Ask your druggist for

The BIBLE.-I beg leave to pro-
pose short, clear and strong argu-
ment to prove the Divine Inspiration
OF the HoIy Scriptures. The Bible
must be the invention either Of good
men or angels, bad men or devils, or
Of God. 1t could not be the inven-
ton of good men or angels, for they
neither would nor could make book
and tell lies all the time they were
writing it, saying, "Thus sayeth the
Lord" when it was their own inven-
ton, 1t could not be the invention
of bad men or devils, for they would.
not make book which commands
all duty, forbids all sin, and con-
demns their souls to hell to all eter-
nifty. Therefore. | draw this concu-
sion, that the Bible must be given by
Divine Inspiration.
