Nihilist Prisons.

The treatment of political prisoners
is very severe. Ooe of these unhappy
men, weakened with years of solitude
and deprivation, began once to recite,
in feeble voice, lines of favorite poet.
when the door suddenly sprang open;
and the prison keeper exclaimed: rHow
dare you reciter We want nothing but
silence here ! will put you in chains .
In vain the feeble prisoner pleaded that
be had already served the allotted term
in chains, and that he was very sick, a.
the doctor had certified also It was OF
no avail; ;.he was again thrown in chains.
