Pay the Prisoner for His Labor.

Editor Mirror:
Pay the prisoner for his Iaber and you
will have solved the much talked of subject
of prison reform. The criminal by this
means will be restored to society and be-
come pride to the very community he has
disgraced: all the evils surrounding him
while in prison will vanish as msts before
the rising sun. Free labor that has become
aggrieved because of prison labor cOmpeti-
ton will have it's wrongs redressed by the
adoption of this plan, as the prisoner will
receive the same pay for the products of his
labor as the freeman, and thereby only
competing in numbers employed. The to-
tai number in all the states of prisoners en-
gagged in productive labor is somewhere
near IS, 900, about one convict for every 800
free persons so employed. Certainly free
labor could not complain of this small num-
Der OF prisoners in honorable competition;
but what they have apparent cause for
complaint Of is the low price for which con.
tractors obtain prison labor, which in our
own state amounts to 45c per day; in Yer
mont SOC, Dakota zoe. Kentucky 2Ac, New
York soc for best, and &c for lowest, 5715c
in Texas 25c in Virginia, soc in Wisconsin
and SIC in Georgia. 1t is figures like these
that have caused the demand for change,
which, when yielded to, has resulted in the
adoption by the state of the public account
system, and in all such cases the state has
based the price of convict labor upon the
old price paid by the contractor when tigur-
ing the cost of the manufactured goods,
and places them on the market upon that
basis. just as the contractor did; and free
labor is undermined in one way just as bad
as the other.
There has been change, but no remedy.

Toll On.

One little motto shakes the world,
AS tempests rock the sea;
Victory it means to those who strive,
Wouldst thou the conqueror be!
Wouldst enter into richest fields
The eye e'er gazed upon?
TO all give the countersign-
'Tis but the words: Toll on.''
Yet, by those words the mightiest deeds
The weakest hands have wrought
Conquests the grandest have been won
On battle-fields of thought.
Motto that nerves the warriors heart
To gaze deaths face upon:
The lovers vow, the martyrs creed
The nations shield: Toll on"
Each springing bud obeys the power
That bids ii clesve the dust;
''Onward and up" all nature cries;
strength. strength to toll and trust"
The trees climb high, the swallows soar,
The bllows rise and roll
On, too, faint heart thy zeal shall spread
Like flame from soul to soul.
Toll on. guard every golden hour
Fast, fast the moments fly,
Look, thou shalt see ladder set
Between the earth and sky.
Good deeds shall give thee strength to rise
And scale each shining round,
While angels lead thy spirit up
And on to holier ground.
Toll on! shun pleasures siren call;
Rest not in slothful ease.
If thou wOuldst win the victor's crown,
Seek not such joys as these.
Then gird thyself for noble strife.
The workman's armor don;
Press to thy task in glorious zeal
Toll on.-in faith-toil on!

A MEMBER OF THE JAMES GANG.
A Young Girl ElOped in Order to Marry Him,

MEMPHIS. Sept. 4-The city was thrown into

member Of the Jesse James gang, had abducted
his young wife, from whom he had been sepa-

night. while the young wife of the outlaw was
standing at the gate in front Of her mothers
house, engaged in conversation with her brother
and lady friend, Edwards came up, grabbed
her by the wrists, and commanded her to ac-
company him. Her brother made an effort to
interfere, but was warned at the muzzs Of q
pistol to make no attempt at rescue. Edwards
then rapidly disappeared in the darkness, drag

citizens started in pursuit. but no trace of the
fugitive WAS discovered. The wife returned,
yesterday afternoon, to her home

the alternative OF accompanying him IN his
flight or joining HIM afterward. She chose the
latter, and At the pistols mouth registered an

No one suspected his criminal record. He took
her from here TO Louisville and thence to Con-

the border of q piece Of woods, 30 AS TO make his
escape easy in case Of detection. One evening
while at Connellsville his wife Was surprised to
see him take TO the woods on seeing an approach

alighted and asked for him, alleging that he
was guilty Of pension frauds. Failing to DIS

he has been a constant fugitive and failed to

A GIANT WHO WAS MODEST.
David Henry DOdd. Seven Feet Three Inches
Tall. Dies in Retirement.

New YORK, Sept 4-David Henry Dodd is
dead at Berlin. N. Y. He was called an eight
foot giant. and his actual height was seven feet
and three inches That made him valuable for

exhibit in the museums; but he could not bring
himself to that, although he was q farm laborer
and might have multiplied his income by chang

Goliath was all he could stand He couldn't

say. Any man who measures seven feet and a

has never been exceeded so far as modern

years. He lacked only three inches of being

enough to make him a Vanderbilt in China, he
retired to his native land. No offers have Since

used to declare that only desire to journey in
all civilized lands induced him to make his tour
which lasted SIX years. Peter Feketi, the
Hungarian giant whose death was reported last
week, was 10 come to America next winter. He
was seven feet four and very heavy. The
American giants of recent times, Captain Bates,
Captain Goshen and Anna Swan, were all less
than that IN stature, and they are all dead of
consumption, the common destroyer of such
overerown persons. There is not at present in
the show business in this country, according to
the manages of the largest museum in New
York, giant exceeding seven feet. counting out
his hair and bootheels. So the deceased David
Henry Dodd was a man who wouldn't improve
his good opportunity.

THE RETALIATION MATTER.
The Interference of Salisbury Likely to Cause
aRupture in the Canadian Cabinet.

OTTAWA. Ont, Sept. 4-Ths first meeting Of

North American provinces; also. q clear
statement of remonstrances which had
been made by the United States
against Canada for alleged irregularities
in according to United States citizens their
explanation as to the probable effect on the Do
minion If the measures of proposed retaliation
were carried out. This Information was laid
before the Cabinet yesterday. On the most re-
liable authority it is learned that 10 requesting
this information Salisbury enjoined the Domin,
ion government to exercise the utmost caution
In every movement, inst now, when irregular
step might strengthen the feeling Of hostility
which has been raised toward the Dominion.
Lord Salisbury has spoken pretty plainly TO Sir
John, and the attitude ne has assumed was not
very cordially received by the members of the
government The members of the Cabinet were

which Sir John proposed. 1t is stated that q

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Levy Concert.

II was large and fashionable audience
that assembled at the Memphis theater
last night, drawn by what promised to be
a pleasing entertainment, and also in COM
pliment to the deseryedly popular man
ager Mr. Frank Gray. 1t was a thor
oughly sympathetic audience, and spon-
taneously and rapturously applauded every
number on the well arranged program
that merited recognition. The central star
was, OF course, Mr.. Jules Levy, said to he
the greatest of living cornet players. He
is in fact such, in some respects. In
muscle and endurance, he probably stands
peerless; in producing the natural soft,
sweet tones of which that instrument is
capable, Mr.. Levy has probably half dozen
rivals, and perhaps some OF these are his
superiors Signor Liberati and the Brent
brothers being among them. Mr.. Levy can
successfully accomplish one thing, which is,
puncture the ear-drums OF hisauditors with
trombonish blasts, yet is able to counter
act the evil with rapid cadence to pianis-
simo tones soothing in the extreme. As
q thorough master OF the cornet, there
fore, he cannot claim remarkable dlstnc-
ton. But his performance evoked the
applause to which IL was entitled, and he
may justly claim a hearty reception. He
was assisted by Nine. Stella Levy, a
charming soprano; Miss Filth Pond, a
pleasing singing reader; Miss Alice Tor
bett, an accomplished violinist, and Mr..
Gusiave Thalberg, the sweet-voiced tenor
of Trinity church Mr.. L. V. Downey,
pianist and accompanist, was thoroughly
at ease and well up in his art. Altogether
the concert was gratifying success.
