Our House or Correction.

The Maryland house of correction,
located near Jessup's, In this county,
on the Washington branch of the b.
and o. II. r., has just now the
smallest number of prisoners ever
confined within it's walls. The in
stitution was brought into existence
principally on account of the tramp
nuisance, and was first opened Janu-
AIRY LIST, 1879. The cells rapidly filed
up. At one time the number con.
fined was 355, and the average for a
long time was above 800. At this
time there are but l8l confined, 100
being white males, IL white females,
AS colored males and IA colored fe-
males. 1t is thought that the rules
of the prison requiring every prisoner
to work, and work hard, has some
thing to do with the reduction of the
number of inmates.

CHAPTER XVII.


The Prince associates ,cuh Young Men ot
Spirit and Gdyety.
Rasselas rose next day, and resolved to
begin his experiments upon life. "I outh, =
cried he, sis the time of gladness: | will
join myself to the young men, whose
only business is to crafty their desires,
and whose time is all spent in a succession
of enjoyments."
TO such societies he was readily admit
ted: but few days brought him back
weary and disguised. Their mirth was
without images their laughter without
motive; their pleasures were gross and
sensual, in which the mind had no part {;
their conduct was at once wild and mean !;
they laughed at order and law: but the
frown of power detected, and the eye of
wisdom abashed them.
The prince soon concluded that he
should never be happy in course of life
of which he was ashamed. He thought
it unsuitable to a reasonable being to act
without plan, and to he sad or cheerful
OhlN " NlllhNt' ii"ll'liN77s '"iN Nv
''must be something solid and perma-
nent, without fear and without uncertain
ty."
But his young companions had gained
so much of his regard by their frankness
and courtesy that he could not leave them
without warning and remonstrance. My
friends" said he. II have seriously con-
sidered our manners and our prospects
interest. The first years of man must
make provision for the last. He that
never thinks never can be wise. Perpet-
ual levity must end in ignorance: and in
temperance, though it may fire the spirits
for an hour. will make life short or mis-
cradle. Let Us consider that youth is of
no long duration. and that in matureI
age. when the entertainments of fancy
shall cease. and phantOms of delight
dance no more about Us. we shall have
no comforts but the esteem of wise men,
and the means of doing good Let Us
therefore. stop while to stop is in our
power: let us live as men who are some
time to grow old. and to whom it will
be the most dreadful of all evils to count
their past years by follies. and to be
reminded of their former luXuriancc
of health only by the maladieS which
riot has produced.
They stared awhile in silence one upon
another. and at last drove him away by
a general chorus of continued laughter
The consciousness that his sentiments
were Just. and his intentions kind. was
scarcely sufficient to support him against
the horror of derision. But he recovered
his tranquility. and pursued his search.

capitalized at about S500,000.) From
the Central Union it had received in May,
1885, dividends to the amount of S39,3 1888
upon shares entitled to earn dividends,
but by far the greater part of its stock
was not entitled to earn dividends until
July l, 1887. These were the provisions
of an agreement. The Bell company had
waived dividends upon its stock in the
Iowa Union company and the Iowa and
Minnesota company until July l, 1856,
and July l, 1887, respectively. Its official
statement, laid before the legislative
committee, showed that on July l, 1887,
it would be empowered to demand divi-
dends upon S2,3l1 900 of its Central
Union stock and its 1925, 800 of Iowa and
Minnesota stock, while its S1,000,00O of
Iowa Union stock would be entitled to
dividends on July l, 1856. Do these facts
throw any light upon the motives and
acts of the Central Union Telephone COM
pany. its parent. and its allies?
The system by which the Bell compa-
ny, demanding and receiving every year
S2.000.00 rent for the use of its $500, 200
worth of instruments. has endeavOred to
take possession of all the local Compa-
MES of the United States is a system
whose purpose is to draw from users the
the greatest possible sum without regard
to the value of service or the amount of
money invested. 1t holds SD, 000,O 600 of
stock in these companies. In accordance
with its plan the capitals of the local
companies have been enormously swol-
len with water. The New England com
pany's nominal capital is Sl2,000.0OO, at
least three-fourths of which is water. and
the Bell company owns S6,2l5.G00 of it.
The rates in the region covered by this
company have been raised to pay divi-
dends on this enormous capital and sub
scribers have complained. One of them
representing the subscribers of Worces-
ter. remarked in the course of his testi-
mony before a legislative committee
his associates should receive a magnifi-
cent income. but that it should not be toe
magnificent. He was asked what he
meant by magnificent income. "Whel
a company" said he, pays in S2OO.OOC
in eight months, makes S400.0O0, anC
then sells S6.500.000 of stock. all from
the original 100000 investment, | cal
that magnificent"
DO the people of Indiana believe thai
$4,000. 900 in money or its equivalent
has been invested by the stakeholder,
and managers of the Central Union com
pany: Can the people of Iowa fine
$4,000. 900 in money or its equivalen
invested by the Iowa Union company
Probably not. but these companies anC
their parent propose that the people shall
pay dividends on these fictitious sums
and they hope by frightening them to xii
restrictive legislation in States tina
are inclined to follow Indiana example
The people must see that when all tn,
Bell company's fictitious stock becomes

TELEPHONES IN THE WEST
From the New York Times


There is danger that the people in sew
eral Western States will be deceived by
the determination of the Central Union
Telephone company to withdraw tele-
phones from its patrons in indianapolis
and other cities of Indiana, and by the
reasons which it gives for this action. 1t
will be remembered that the Indiana
Supreme court sustained Il State law pro-
viding that the price charged for tele-
phone service should not exceed SO Il
month, and that the company asserts that
under this law ii cannot make money.
The company's determination to go out
of business in the Indiana cities has al
ready had some effect upon proposed or
pending legislation of this kind in other
States. The Ohio Legislature has voted
to postpone until January next the con-
sideration of a bill containing the provis-
ions of the Indiana law, and in Iowa "A
legislative committee reports in favor of
Indefinitely postponing a similar bill.
Users of telephones in those States are
frightened. Undoubtedly the company
desired and intended to brighten them
when it announced that telephones in In
danapolis would be withdrawn.
But if Legislators and users of tele-
phones in Iowa and Ohio had been ac-
uuainted with the financial history of the
Central Union company and some other
Western telephone companies they would
not We venture to say. have run away at
the sound of the first gnn. What does
the Central Union company mean when
it says it cannot make anything at a rate
of 50 Il month; Simply that it cannot
make dividends on Il capital stock of
SlO,000,O00. DO the users of telephones
in Indiana and other States covered by
this company think that they ought to
be required to pay dividends on 50 large
balloon of capital: But the figures
that show the size of the watered capital
do not tell the whole story The Bell
company owns S3,300,000 of this stock,
and in order to make money the Central
Union must charge rates high enough to
pay dividends on this water owned by a
company to which it pays Sl4 rent each
year for the use of Instruments whose
entire cost is only S3.42.
Here are some of the facts, sworn to by
the officers of the Bell company at a
legislative hearing in Boston, which
Western users of telephones should know /:
The Bell company owns S3,32G, 800 of the
capital stock of the Central Union Tele-
phone company, 81 10000 of the capital
stock of the Iowa Union Telephone and
Telegraph company, (said to be capital
lied at about 50 200, 000,) and Sl25, 600 of
the capital stock of the Iowa and Min
