A paper from the Penitentiary,

The Prison Press is the name of a paper
published by the prisoners in the Waupun,
Wis, penitentiary, In their prospectus
the editors say; at shall be our earnest
endeavor to bury melancholy, estralge-
ment and enmity in the vast region of the
past, and in their cankered bosoms SOW
the golden seeds of hope, love and charity,
1t shall be the untiring mission of The
Prison Press to encourage prison literary
talent and to instruct, assist, and amuse
all those within our midst. In thus send
ing forth our tiny sheet to our mothers,
sisters, homes and friends, and the great
world of Sliberty, we present thereto a
model gem of miniature literature, born
and sustained under the most painful diff
culties and circumstances, yet we shall
use our every endeavoE to maintain a
credit to ourselves and an honor to our
warden"
The paper presented under these strange
circumstances is very creditable to the
originators, and will compare favorably
in tone and ability with some published

A Journey TO seOuI-ways Of the Natives
Ten Men, Two shovels.
The journey to Seoul would be pretty
tedious were ones eyes not so constantly
attracted by strange and novel sights.
Every where one sees tall and stately
Koreans clad in thin, holiday-looling,
flowing robes Of white, purple, green or
blue. The outer robes are, In the case Of
the coolies, fairly clean, but, like charity,
they cover multitude of sins. For Korean
undergarments, like Korean cuttcles, are
seldom on friendly terms with water. The
people seemingly have little or nothing to
do. When at work they rarely bestir
themselves so busily as to endanger the
safety of their two-feet pipes, which both
men and women are constantly smoking
Imagine the following scene, witnessed by
us on our road to Seoul.
small field, perhaps fifty by seventy
five feet, ten men, two shovels, two long
ropes, about an inch and half in diameter.
Each shovel blade was about the size of a
dirt shovel-blade in America. The handle
was twelve feet long. The rope was tied
about the handle six inches above the
blade. One man had hold OF the handle
and fixed the blade in the ground, two
others were grasping each end Of the
rope, making five men in all At given
signal all four would give a huge tug.
Result, small clod OF earth thrown from
six to ten feet. 1t was a sight never to be
forgotten, these ten men manning two
shovels. One lusty Irishman would do
more in day than these ten In a week,
with their frequent restingB.
From Chemulp to Seoul the soil Is not
very good, but it is fairly wen cultivated.
A league this side Of the city the road
crosses the Hau river. Here Is a sight
never to be forgotten-the lofty bank ris-
ing in steps from the waters edge
crowded with noble looking men lazily
smoking their long pipes, lounging about
in every attitude; the huge, clumsily-
built, but skillfully-sculled ferry-boats,
and the few women of the lower classes
busily engaged in washing the outer gar
ments of their lordly husbands, while
above all stretched the tiled roofs Of the
mud huts, giving a very picturesque re-
lief to the background Of rugged noun
tains not far away. From this river the
road gradually ascends to Seoul, and
winds through a succession of crowded
villages and towns. One may travel all
over the country yet If he leave out Seoul

Facts About the Common Houso-FIy.

The house-fiy begins to make fits appear
ance in July becomes abundant toward the
end of August, and lives from that time
till killed by cold weather. The eggs are
deposited in the ordure OF stables, whose
warmth matches them. The larva matches
from the shell in the form Of a small,
white worm; from this IL passes into the
pupa state. The pupa is larger than the
larva, and is Of dark brown color. In
this state the insect remains from eight 70
fourteen days, then comes forth the per-
feet fly. All flies and mosquitoes grow in
the larva and pUpa state, and after they
acquire wings tney do not grow any more
The smaller flies we often see with tho
house-hy are not the young OF the same
species, but another and smaller kind
AS all flies apparently perish on the ad-
vent Of cold weather, 10 Is difficult TO tell
whence come the fresh swarms with eacn
recurring summer season, but IL Is sup
posed that few do live through the win
ter in sequestered warm spots, and no
doubt some lie dormant IN the pupa state
through the cold montbB. Thus enough
are carried over to begin the work or
propaoation in the early spring. This
work proceeds so rapidly that In month
or two little one literally becomes loo,

his jaw and is sorry in his soul, but he sci.
dom searches out the man he has unjustly
treated and tells him so. A newspaper
friend Of mine who has done many favors
for Randall told me a story yesterday
which illustrates this phase Of Randall's
character. He had come into Randall's
committee room TO ask him for informa-
tion upon a certain point, and Randall in
replying made his answer so short and
brusque as to be insulting. The newspa-
per man, who has very sensitive nature,
showed by his face that he was much
hurt and turned to GO, when Randall, not
ing his countepAnoe, called him back just
as he was going out the door and said:

feels when he has the gout3"
"No," was the reply.

wrong in speaking so GROSSLY and this was
his mode OF making reparation.-Carp in

Though an undoubtedly brilliant man,

society The reasons are not far to seek.
/ The author of the "MikadO" and the PIN

toned to polite Society. One is never sure
of Gilbert To-day he may greet you with
1 a nod and even smile, if he be in decent
humor- tomorrow he sees you not, or his
acknowledgment is so slight that you feel
it cost him an effort to toss you the meager
courtesy He keeps on hand gamut of
bows and mods, and the scale is closely
regulated according to the status of the
individual to whom they are accorded,
Should the duke of Edinburgh roll by

promptly relaxes and species of dental
smile feebly lights up the mouth, but if a
moment after plain Jones, the CONNIE

should approach, the face of the great
librettist assumes quite a different ex.
preston, and an upward moYement of the
eyebrows must suffice as a recognition.
Pleasant smiles and cordial greetings are
not for persons of lower degree. Some
body once said the cold granite of his
native northern Aberdeen, where he was
born, had entered into Gilbert's blood,
and his unyielding hardness fayors the
correctness of this opinion. -.
In general society--an evening party, for
instance-Gilberti is silent, obserVant, and
takes no active part in the festivities.
Now and again he will whisper a mot to
his nearest neighbor about the peculiari,
ties of a guest, which will create laugh,
but he prefers the role of critic to that OF
performer. An evening party composed
of such as he would not be remarkable
for uproarious hilarity or gayety Of spirits.

The substitution of glass flooring for

roughened glass embedded In a strong

old Missions ON the san Antonio.

To me there Is something remarkably in
teresting in the churches, those monu-
ments of the pious men who lived here in
former times, and who devoted their
whole energies to civilizing and Chris
tianizing the savages. They left COM
Portable homes on the other side Of the
Atlantic ocean, or at least many Of them
did, and, coming here, gave their whole
energies and lives to the advancement OF
beings, but little removed in their habits
from wild beasts themselves. With the
aid of these men they erected buildings
which are now models of beauty. They
cut stone and carved stone, made bricks
and adobes; hewed planks and beams out
Of trees bordering the streams for rafters
and doors, and then constructed proper
dwelling places for the men and women
they had converted. When we know
what an aversion the Indian has for all
kinds of labor we are astonished at the re-
suits obtained by these priests. This was

Henoeforth Sacred to the Sight.

In Mrs KS handsome parlors were
many works of cunning and art. But
neglected and alone in dark corner stood
a modest vase. 1t was not comely vase
at it's best, and it showed abuse and
neglect, and it seemed to feel its insight
ficance, and when anybody came near, it
sort of contracted itself and threw out
dust as the porcupine hurls his quills.
But one day a connoisseur stepped into a
dark corner. "What have you here?"
quoth he 80, don't look at that sickly
thing" said the sagacious Mrs. x.
@Sickly thing? replied the connoisseur,
Why, madam, you have splendid piece
of Dresden in this vase" And the lady
gave a cry of joyous surprise, and she
pounced upon that model vase, and
rubbed it tenderly with 81 handkerchief
and bore it out of the gloom and placed it
conspiciously on the piano, henceforth to
be sacred to the sight and to the flowers
that bloom in the spring tra-la.-Kansas

How Little Pintes Slide Down HIM.

White children can not possibly enjoy
sliding down hill on their nice little sleds
any better than do the young Piutes on
bit of plank or barrel stave. This last
method they consider chief of all and the
true circus of the business. A good
mooth oak stave is just the thing. With
Z short bit of bahng rope hitched to the
forward end they stand with one foot on
the rear portion of the stave, with the
other leg sticking straight out behind or
aside, and away they scoot with a wild
yell of joy down the steepest places they
can find. OF course they get many a
tumble, and their dusky companions stand
ready to shout derisively at their discom-
future or approvingly at their success
