The report of Postmaster Mccarthy for
the quarter ended June 80. 1888. shows the
following as the total number of pounds Of
local papers mailed at the Saltwater Office
during the quarter Messenger. weekly.
99S pounds: Post, weekly. 1853 pounds:
Gazette, daily and weekly combined 100
pounds; Prison Mirror, 327 pounds: Demo-
GRAFT 315 pounds. The Messenger pays al
most as much postage as the daily and
weekly Gazette and Democrat, and has
larger bona tide circulation in the city and
county than tie combined circulation of all
the editions of these papers.
THE MIRROR is in nOwise disposed to
'brag" about it's circulation, but if the
above figures are an indication of the bona
fide circulation of the papers named we
think we are entitled to the confectionery.
1t isn't always the largest pumpkin that
contains the most seeds. One copy Of the
Messenger with supplement- would make
six MIRRORS; one each of the Democrat
and Post four. and one of the Weekly Ga
Zette three. At a rough estimate this
would give THE MIRROR double the circu-
lation Of the Messenger and Post, four
times that of the Democrat, and one
third greater circulation than the Gazette.
This would make THE MIRRORS clrcula-
ton one and seven-twelfth times greater
than all the other papers mentioned COM
bned. And yet it is only in its infancy.
In addition. THE MIRROR distributes at
least one hundred copies weekly to subscrib-
ers that do not go through the postotfice.

We are in receipt of the second annual
report of Carol ID. Wright, commissioner
of labor, for 1886, relating entirely to the
subject of convict labor. 1t contains
thorough and unbiased review of the convict
labor problem, with comparative tables,
showing the status of labor in all the pris
Ons of the United States. also a thorough
discussion of the various systems or plans
for employing, and supporting convicts, not
only in this country. but throughout the
civilized world. Altogether it is the most
complete treatise upon this subject that can
be found. 1t is not only valuable as au-
thority upon the labor problem, but con-
tains vast amount of history requiring
extensive research and labor in order to
bring such an array of facts into so narrow
a compass.

A Relic of BarbariSnn.

Editor Mirror:
l would like to call the attention of the
reading public generally (that is, that por-
ton OF the reading public who are interest
ed in prison affairs) and the warden and in
spectors particularly, to what l deem. l
think with reason, a relic of ancient bar
ber"-sm. Many years ago a convict was
treated as being far different from the
community around him; and the govern
ment officials tried to make him as different
physically as he was supposed to be mem
tally and morally. They hung great chains
around his limbs; many were confined in
loathsOme dungeons where the grateful rays
of sunlight never shed their healthfu beams
They branded them with different marks
that all who saw might understand what
they were and shun them accordingly. They
shaved one half of the face and likewise
One-half Of the head. These evidences of
lower civilization have gradually disap-
peared-save one They no longer shave
onehalf of the head and face. But they
''Shingle" the head and shave the whole
face. Now, what is. or rather was the rea-
son for keeping all hair off of the head and
face of inmates of penal institutions? I
think from what can learn that it was to
be conspicuous mark of difference to aid
in the detection and capture of an escaped
convict. At that time it was the fashion
to wear the hair long, and the man who
shaved his face was rare exception. Hence,
to see man. at that period of history.
clean-shaven and mo hair" on his head
would be at once noticed. Now all is
changed. You meet many men on all sides
who wear no boards, and many choose to
wear their hair as short as possible. But
there are many men within these walls to
whom beard would be positive blessing.
Many day last winter wasI compelled to
face the bitter winds of a 40-degrees-belOw-
zero atmosphere with none of natures own
protection to my face and throat, and many
a night have l painfully experienced the re-
suits of such exposure. From a point of
health, there is every reason why this an
Gent custom should be abolished; and why
should it not be? as it is no more the dis
tingushing mark that it was when the GUS
tom was instituted. And then again, there
are many other better reasons why we
should not be compelled to shave. Many
of us within here wear boards of some de-
ScriptiOn on the outside. Now every one
knows that shaving ruins the texture of the
hair, makes it coarse, brittle, and far from
the soft covering that nature intended. A
man receives, we will say. five years SEN
tence. What condition will his face and
beard be in when he leaves here? His punish
ment was fixed by the judge at five years.
Why should the state mar the unfortunate's
personal appearance for life. Let this rule
be abOlished-'twill save the state money
and be a source of health and qualification
to every unfortunate here. WHISPERS.
