with none from Somerset county. 1877 persons

Lincoln OF Waldo.
Concerning the jail In this city their report
has the following statements:
The jail in Portland Is the largest in TIE
State. Its average population is more than
one-half of that in State prison. The manage
nent OF such Jail with its ever changing in-
mates, composed of persons serving out seu-
tencss, prisoners awaiting trial. poor debtors
and witnesses and others committed by the
District Court of the United States, render 1t
exceedingly difficult to manage. We believe
tn at some division in tie jail should be made
so that these classes may be kept separate
from each other. 1t must be almost impossible
to keep it in good order unless something OF
the kind is done. The cellar has been cleaned
out but more needs to be done to make the
sewerage what it should be. The uanufac-
tare of inner soles continues to be carried on
in the shops on account OF the county.

The Maine .IaiI..

The inspectors of the jails and prisons of
the State, In their annual report, make the fol-
lowing general observations on the condition
of these institutions:
The thirteen iails in the State have each
been visited as often as was thought best,
Many OF them have been much improved,
some remain about as heretofore, while one or
two are worse than ever. Ths population in
them IS OF q transient aid varied character.
They are used for so many different purposes
for the punishment of persons under sentence,
for those under arrest, for detention of wit
nesses, for poor debtors, and for Imprisonment
for drunkenness which 10 not a crime-there
should be some classification provided by law.
Some Of the authorities allow social privileges,
which good government and the fitness of
things would not allow. Boys of ten years and
upward may be seen hob-nobbing with ex-
State prison convicrs, and have been seen
playing cards with each otheri and yet such IS
the construction of the jsils that this cannot be
avoided, aud the iaier is not to be blamed
Some other place should bs provided for boys
arrested for crime between ten and fourteen.
besides iails aud reform schools; the education
they get is not that which will be likely to
make them good citizens.

A little, black-besrded man was walking
briskly up Broadway, yesterday afternoon.
when shivering tramp, who had been ioi-
tering in front of Trinity church, stepped In
front of him and said something il = low
tone. The little man made no reply, but
stepped to one side and continued his jour
ney up town. The beggar slouched after
him and said in q louder tone than before,
'Please, cap, gi' me few cents for 4 bowl
of soup" Even to this appsSl the little
man paid no attention, and would doubtless
have succeeded in escaping from the Ina
Fortunate tramp had he not been stopped BY
a friend who engaged him In conversation.
The beggar crowded up as closely as possi-
BILE to the two men and began pitiful tale
of distress. BE was heard to say, "And
everything possessed went In Wall street
Jay Gould and those fellows got It." The
little blsck-bearded mans hand went quick
ly down in his pocket and brought ont
coin, which was placed on the dirty palm
of the mendicant, with the words, "There,
now 60 away, please" The fellow shufned
away, evidently without knowing that the
little man who gave HIM the money was Jay
Gould himself. The other gentleman was
Cyrus W. Field.

that there is nothing he SO longs for as ample
