Conturbabantur Constantinopolitani
Which Was She ?

certain Turk, according to Mr.. Frank
r. Stockton, was once married to veied
lady in white in the presence of the sultan.
AS soon as the ceremony was concluded the
bride mysteriously disappeared. The groom
was led into an adjoining room, where stood
twelve ladies' all dressed in white, but with
out veils "Choose from the twelve" ex-
claimed the sovereign, "her that is your
bride" AS the man had never seen her
face, the command bewildered him. If
you make mistake" added his majesty,
"your life shall pay the forfeit" The poor
man walked up and down the row of beau
ties, but saw nothing whatever to aid his
choice "iou have only minute left,"
yelled the sultan, in anger 4" choose at
once" Two of the ladies, he noticed, gave
him something else than a stony stare. One
ofthem frowned the other smiled. "The
frowning one" he thought, is my bride,
for she expressed her displeasure and i'm.
patience at my ignorance. No." he said to
himself, " it must be tho smiling one, for she
desires to invite me to her." After debating
the subject in his mind until his time was uT
he boldly made a selection from the two.
He was successful. He had regained his
bride. Which was she, the one who frowned
or the one who smiled The answer to the
question Mr.. Stockton leaves in impenetra-
BILE mystery.

The extracts from "a Study of Prison
Management by Charles Dudley Warner
in the North American ReUieW, given else
where, will be read with interest by all who
have given any attention to this important
social problem. AS the writer says there is
too much of the "coddling' system in vogue
among the presumably model prisons of to-
day, and the physical restraints that are ex-
pected to have their effect on the moral ma
ture of the criminal are entirely lost in the
comfortable surroundings of his place of
captivity. If prisons are simply intended as
places where those who have been guilty of
defiance OF law are required to stay forever
or for time as punishment it would seem
that the penalty is tar less than the offense.
If labor is additionally imposed, the penalty
becomes more proportionate. But most
prison reformers lose sight of the psycholog-
ical part Of the question. The model prison
should include scheme for the reformation
OF the criminal. IL is said that 90 per cent OF
those ordinarily discharged from state
prisons have to be caught and Imprisoned
again. Here is an additional expense that
might be saved il by any system some APP
preach could be made toward the moral
reformation of the convict That used at the
Elmira, New York, Reformatory, wherein
the prisoners are graded according TO
conduct diligence and willingness to labor,
has proved successful. II is also expensive,
but any state should cheerful,y spend some
of its surplus revenue in the reformation of
those who live by preying upon its law
abiding citizens.

Red Hot.

They are having skyrocketty time of it
in Philadelphia over the railroad question.
Lawyers by the score are addressing the
people and councils by day and by night.
The Pennsylvania railroad, which stepped
rashly into the path of the proposed road,
is being shaken by the neck by the lawyer
bulldogs and newspaper terriers, with a
vigor that threatens dislocation. Never.
theless the indications are that the Penn,
sylvania has the council committee. The
people of the town are undoubtedly the
other way, and the Baltimore and Reading
people know it and are firing them up in
first-class style. 1t is redhot contest and
very interesting to outsiders. II is astonsh
ing TO see how much patriotism railroad
company can show when it pays to exhibit
it, and how little is to be squeezed from il
when ii don't.

The Philadelphia Record very properly
calls halt on the proposition to hang young
Cluverius, of Richmond, Va, for the murder
of Lillian Madison, having been convicted
because the jury could find no other theory
to explain the crime. There is a shadow of
doubtin the case as to whether it was murder
and greater doubt as to whether the prisoner
was the guilty man. The case was very little
stronger than that against the Malleys in
Connecticut for the alleged murder Of Jennie
Cramer and it was certainly one in which
the Scotch verdict " not proven might have
applied with propriety. There is reasonable
ground for the belief that Cluyerius is guilty,
but the law requires more than this ; and
the Cluverius case is one in which the de-
fendant may very properly be held in custody
and in the shadow of a death warrant until
further developments make more clear and
certain his guilt-or his innocence.

THE way in which magazine writing has
increased and multiplied in recent years is a
remarkable feature of the literature Of the
time. IL is noteworthy also that the best
American magazines depend chiefly on
American writers for their literary pabulum.

Harper's for the past six months show
total number of contributors of 1856. Hdrper's

might change inmates, and no visitor would
know the difference. You might expect
just as little reformation i'm one as In the

conclusion was forced upon me that, so far as

RHARDER PRISON LIFE.
Since we have abolished punishments, and
are not ready 10 take any radical steps for
reformation, IL would be better TO make
prison life so hard that detention would be n
punishment In itself. The men should earn
their living at hard labor, and be made TO
feel the weight of their transgressions. III

sort of treatment that will touch the life o

Of a criminal class, which propagates itsel
under favoring conditions, aided by mis

To BE Kicked.

1t disgusts one with representative gov
ernment TO see the antics of the assinine
legislators of Pennsylvania. IL has been
the fashion to attribute legislative folly to
partisan malice; but that will not account
for the Stiffness of the Democrats who
have refused to sustain the governor of
Pennsylvania in his vetoes of unworthy
appropriations, and Of most I'M
just apportionment bill. It was not
conceived to be possible, until ii was done,
that the lower House would decline
to stand by the governor in his refusal to
grant to employees of the state moneys be-
yond the amount of the salaries they
| agreed to serve for; nor was it believed
that Democratic senators would so far
forget their duty as to be bribed,
by some partiality in the apportion-
ment bill to their own districts, to do
the gross injustice TO the Democrats of
the rest of the state that is done by the
Republican apportionment bill for which
they voted. There is no reasonable excuse
for the votes of these recreant Democratic
senators and representatives. They wer,
bound to regard the interest of the stat.
and were not at liberty to violate it for tn

ASST. POSTMASTER GEN. HAY very plainly
announces that he will not allow the execu-
tive functions ofhis department to be so far
usurped as to concede to senators or repre-
sentatives in Congress the right to mako or
dictate appointments And he is right The
presumption Of congressman who undertake
such thing should be summarily set back.
There is no doubt that the representative of a
large constituency ought to be consulted as
to appointments in his district he may be
reasonably expected to know its wants its
relations and its conditions. This is one
thing the arbitrary dictation of personal
appointments is quite another thing. Mr.
Hay no doubt knows the difference and will

A Rad Bill.


A Senate bill proposes to enact that boiler
inspectors shall be appointed for every
county, and that all those who use boilers
for generating steam shall insure against
any and all loss Of life and personal injury.
The bill evidently has been prepared in the
interest of some boiler insurance company.
The requirement that insurance shall be
taken against loss of life and personal in
jury indicates this clearly. 1t will require
every user of boiler to carry an enormous
insurance, for protection against the pos
sible injury to life and person by an explo-
sion. 1t will be impossible to estimate in
advance what such liability may amount
to. The explosion of single boiler may
possibly injure great many people, and the
damage, if it could be measured in money,
might be very great. There is no way of
estimating such damage unless by a resort
to jury; and the litigation produced by
the proposed law would be excessive.
Damage to life and limb is now provided
against in life and accident insurance COM
panies, and there is no need that boiler in
surance companies should enter into this
business. AS the law now stands any one
who uses negligently, a boiler for making
steam so as to cause damage to others, is
responsible for the injury done. This bill
proposes to add to this responsibility
that also of unforeseen and unpre-
ventable boiler explosions, by requir-
ing insurance to be taken out by
boiler owners against such accidents.
1t isputting an unnecessary and vexatious
burthen upon manufacturing industry.

upon the dividends of manufacturing COM

Tall Buildings In Big Cities.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Governor Hill, of New York, has signed
the bill to prohibit the erection of immensely
high buildings in New York city. Hereafter
no dwelling can be put up to exceed seventy
feet in height while in streets of sixty feet
or less in width the house must not exceed
sixty feet high. But there are hundreds,
perhaps thousands, of buildings already y
built that exceed these heights The next
thing to do is to pass a law to razee all such
to the new limits, and a beginning should be
made with the Office OF the Tribune, which
IL nearly two hundred feet high, and from
whose lofty editorial rooms have come the
strongest demands for the new restriction.

as companies that declare dividends can
