Prohibition does not always prohi- bit as is instanced at Stanbeny, Gen. try county, Me-, where under the Lo- cal Option law the sale of intoxicants has been prohibited since March 2nd. The citizens of Stanberry have always heretofore borne a reputation for so- briety, and the sight of a drunken man was formerly rare. Now, it is sad, scarcely a day passes that one or more intoxicated persons are not seer. The druggists are doing a fourisbino business, and beer and other light al coholic beverages have been superseded by straight whisky. As "an act to provide for the preventing of the eviIs of intemperance," the Local Opticr law Is not a success.

The Life of an English Convict.

l wish through the columns of THE MIR
RoR to relate to the inmates, the treatment
of convict in an English prison. A great
many have asked me to do so. as they would
like to know ALL about them, and as am
fully qualified, having partaken of that Bit
ter cup. have no feeling of hesitation in
accommodating my friends.
There is no necessity OF going over the
modes operandi OF the trial. as the method
pursued is somewhat similar to the Ameri-
can plan. with a few features favorable to
England; but we will at once imagine our
selves arrived at the prison.
Think of getting up the following morn
ing from your downy. couch, consisting of
the soft side of a plank, in room 9x1S! as
our friend P. H. has it. To read it fast.
''9x1S" would no. seem very large for a cell,
but read it slow and you will see that it is
an exaggeratiOn. In reality, the cells are
about the same as they are in the American
prisons. The prisoner has bed from the
first day of incarceration. Remember. |
am writing of the penal institutiOns-ther
are establishments where the tramp element
is shielded from winters biting blasts. SIM
liar to that P. H. has described; in those
places there are rooms probably 9X1S. in
which number of self-cOmmitted beggars
find plank on which to lay their weary
heads. but the convict establishments as
they are called there are far different places.
Contrary to what our friend says. a convict
is allowed the privilege of the library from
the start.
The treatment of a man in the English
dungeon, where he only gets four ounces of
bread three times day, and has to sleep on
plank is, no doubt, relic of bararism,
but we will not have to leave this country
to find worse state of things: for in one
dungeon that know Of the man gets three
ounces of bread twice day. and sleeps on
the floor; and even this is ahead of another
American dungeon that ! have been in.
where the man gets two ounces OF bread
every twent- four hours, and is tied up all
day. My friend when you are comparing
the English prison with the American. give
us both sides.

on is this: no one but the warden can order

GREAT EXPECTATIONS.
A Christmas Story
BY ALEXIS.

By ALEA1S.
AS we grow older how time past does

when was little boy living with my
grandparents in distant state.
What mystery is memory! What SEEM
ingly trifing things it gathers into its store
house, remember more clearly the events
of that Christmas of twenty years ago than
l dc those of last Christmas.
l will tell you of that Christmas; but
first will make you acquainted with the
family in which lived at that time.
The family consisted of the old folks.
two elderly daughters, a son, two Spitz
dogs and myself. l cannot say we were
happy or prosperous family-in fact the
contrary would be nearer the truth. The
home was the largest and best furnished
excepting the larder-in the town. All,
except grandfather and l, managed to make
an outward show of prosperous gentility.
and were very aristOcratic in their bearing
toward the other people of the town. They
were very exclusive and associated but little
with their neghborS. And if their claim
was we'll founded they had good reason to
be exclusive. for the blue blood of royalty
cOursed through their veins. Yes, grand
mother, according to her own reckoning was
descendent of England's famous Henry
VIII, therefore relative OF the regal Eliza
beth, of whom she never tired talking. She
had a piece of one of EliZabeth's royal
robes that she preserved as sacred
heirloom, and which she exhibited
only on rare occasions to her most intimate
acquaintances. Excepting grandfather,
they were firm believers in their royal
descent. Dear old grandfather, l will
never forget his amused look when l once
asked him if l, too. belonged to royalty.
He and l were only poor plebelans in the
eyes of the rest of the family; but to my
mind. grandfather was the noblest man
living.
AS l said before. we were not a happy
family. l was not a welcomed member,
except by grandfather, and l was often
made to feel it, too. Dissensions were fire.

CHRISTMAS IN OLDEN TIME.

Heap on more wood, the nd is ch II;
But let it whistle as it will
Well keep our Christmas merry still.
And well our Christian sires of old
Loved, when the year its course had rolled.
And brought blithe Christmas back again,
With all its hosptable train.
Domestic ano religious rite
Gave honor 10 the holy night.
On Christmas Eve the bells were rung;
On Christmas Eve the mass was sung;
That only night in all the year
Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear.
The damsel donned her klrtle sheen;
The hall was dressed with holly green;
Forth to the wood did merry men 60
To gather in the mistletoe
Then opened wide the baron's hall
To vassal, tenant, serf and all:
Power laid his rod of rule aside,
And Ceremony doffed his pride:
The heir, with roses in his shoes.
That night might village partner choose;
The lord underogatipg share
The vulgar game Of post and pair
All hail with uncontrolled delight
And general voice the happy night
That to the cottage, as the crown.
Brought tidings of salvation down.
