Shirley is to be the new Warden at San
Quentin, and adds "The new Board have
decided not to interfere in any way with
the new Warden's selection of subordinate
officers" There is no virtue to be credited
to the new Board for the resolution not to
interfere with the Warden's appoint
ments- assuming that the Ata speaks by
the card. 1t would be bit of cool i'm
pudence for the Board to consider the mat

which declares, after specifying that the
Board shall appoint Wardens and clerks.
that " all other officers and employees of
the prisons shall be appointedby the Warden
thereof, and removed at his pleasure.

EDS RECORD. UNION In your issue of the
11th is an article Of inquiry regarding the
tablet presented by Pope Plus TX to the
Commissioners, to be built in the interior face
of the Washington monument st Washington,

menced request was made that States, soci-
cites, nations and individuals should present
marble tablets to line the inner walls. A
large number had been presented. The one
given by Pope Plus ] y. was most conspicu-
Gus on account of its beautiful carving and
material, which was black italian marble,
weighing about / 500 pounds. They were all
placed in Exhibit Hall, a. a dilapidated
board shed was fecetiously called. Between
this shed and the shaft, which at that time
was $50 or 252 feet high, stood the watch
mans house or box, an octagonal
wood structure, about six feet in diameter
and seven feet high, door in one face, and
round port holes in the other faces. One
night in June of 1854 large party of men,
disguised, suddenly appeared. so reported the
Waterman, forced him into his box and fast
ened him in by winding rope around it aud
FASTING paper over the port holes. They
then took an old truck, usually drawn by
oxen, attached rope to ie, and placed the
Pope's tablet thereon and hauled it to the
bank of the Potomac river, which at that
point was about forty feet high. On the
bssch beneath YVES large b1wlder weighing
about ten tons, aud on to this BOWLER the
tablet was dumped from the bank above,
smashing it into hundreds of pieees. The
mob then disappeared. An account of the
affair appeared in the National InteHigencer
of the following morning, aud the Star IN the
afternoon, and that was sill there was said of
it, excepting few articles that have ap-
peared from time to time ia ths press. But

of pride. 1t was hoped that the exposure
of the fraud in the instance named would
put such watchfulness over the pages of
our only " home magazine that no further
plagiarisms would be possible. But the

instantly pointing out that lady ~
