The penitentiAry lessees at Tracy City,
Tean., are puzzled to know what DISPOSE
ton to make Of their new convict Mrs
LINKS. The Tracy City PeDitendaEy is not
fitted up with many OF the modern con-
venieuces of life, and the accommodations
for ladies' are decidedly primitive. Now
Mrs. LINKS, although abe. has been con-
vieted Of stealing 3 diamond ring is to all
outward appearances a lady. She is hand
some, refined, ven educated, and her hus-
band is gentleman Of some means. The
convict lessees have the right to put Mrs.
LINKS in the stoekade and compel her to
wash clothes for the other eonyicts, but they
hesitate to make her do this. To add to
the painful features of the situation, the
distressed husband Of the unfortunate wo-
man is preparing to close OSt-Ais
business in Chicago and open q
hotel in Tracy City with view
to hiring his wife from the lessees to assist
in the hotel. For the present the lessees
allow Mrs. LINKS to board at the private
house, with a guard occupying the opposite
room. In Tennessee there is quite differ
ence of opinion as to the course OF treat
meut that should be pursued. Some are in
favor of treating the prisoners kindly and
considerably. Others demand that she
shall be forced to work in the stockade
where she will be subjected to any indigni-
taries and Outrages that may be offered by
the male eonviets- In other words, there
are people who want this guilty woman not
only punished, bur destroyed for the one
criminal act, so far as is known, Of her life.

and confidence Of all who knew him.
The announcement of his death
was received by his numerous friends
here with every evidence of the
deepest and most profound sorrow
1t seems terrible that a youth Q
such bright promise, should be so
suddenly summoned 10 the myster-
ious beyond. lie was followed to
the tomb by a large concourse Of
sorrowing friends on Friday last. A
mother and two brothers mourn
his untimely end. The funeral was
