He was delicate little chap, and he had
not much appetite. He was one of those
ethereal children, with very fair hair and
pale, interesting faces with an angelic APP
pearance who are invariably ''holy terrors"
in the house This angelic child, whom other
children's mothers admired, and who pro
voled envy of his mother in the general fe-
male breast, couldn't safely be taken any
where. He was sure to make some break.
But he had little appetite, and the only way
they could get him to eat Was by soaring him
into it. They had kept him alive by lodges,
so to speak. All else failing, they decided to
put him into trousers. He was a plain man
child, and crazy to get into boys suit.
They got him one and told him if he did not
eat he would not fill his clothes. He ate, he
forced himself to eat; he was SO afraid they
would take them away again.
His mother took him with her to visit some
friends There was a beautiful, modest,
charming, innocent young lady. Innocence
is a development in women; it disappears
from men at a very early age. The more q
woman knows the more innocent she becomes.
The party was at dinner, and the delicate lit
tie cuss was sitting there gorging and listen
ing. The innocent young lady was in love Oh
something. Isuppose some interesting young
man had squeezed her hand or said something
very tender, or done something very silly,
and she was not eating very heartily. They
ended her gently on her want of appetite
Then the delicate little terror looked across
the table and said:
You'd better eat something or your pant:
won't fit you"
they took him home.-SSn Francisco

The prison is in charge of governors, deputy
governors, superintendent and deputy serv-
ants, but closer to the prisoners than all are
the matrons They are not loved by the
prisoners, and the prison prayer which is
heard in the chapel is said to take on a new
meaning when it is repeated by the inmates,
.aud is delivered up as follows;
s'Lord, have mercy upon us miserable sin
uers. Lord, have mercy upon oil the miSer-
able sinners here-lady superintendent sin
aers, deputy superintendent sinners, chaplain
and doctor sinners. Lord, have mercy upon
everybody but those beasts Of matrons!" On
first thought it is somewhat surprising to the
visitor at Working to notice the decorum
which prevails in the chapel. Below, in the
body Of the room, sit the prisoners while the
gallery is occupied by the officers. Aside
from the dress of the audience one would or
diuarlv notice no difference between it and
that Of any English country church.
It does occasionally happen that some ex-
citing incident breaks up the monotony, and
in view Of tho fact that the congregation Is
one Of convicts, it is probable that the devo-
aional spirit is not there
There is g curious custom existing among
IKE prisoners which deserves attention. This
Is the passing from hand to hand Of what is
termed "stiffs" A stiff is a token Of love,
aDd IL may be @ lock of hair, u piece Of paper
or any little trinl.et. The loves which exist
among tho inmates is certainly homily on
woman. There seems to be as much senti-
,nent displayed as between bona lile lovers
They meet, they love, and when it can be
done without attracting the attention Of the
Dsatron, they exchange love tokens, or, in
the vernacular, they pass the stlf

The prison is intended for the weak and

might be, and the Invalid population Is quite
a large part of the whole. 1t frequently hap
pens that some able woman will play possum
and succeed in keeping idle. One creature
persistently refused TO work, declaring that
she had never been used to it, "You must

The queen of female burglars, Mary Nc

Mary is described as light of build, tall, of
fair complexion and blue eyes, with plenty Of

trimmed with ribbons and artificial roses.

Another rather striking thing is that the
most turbulent spirits who are brought here
are the petty offenders-those who have
barely skulked on the outskirts of the dark
! cesspool of crime-the pickpockets and 9TH
ers of that class. These cause the most
trouble. But the woman who has committed
murder, or who is guilty of any other great
crime, is, as whole, the most orderly indi-
vidual when confined within the four walls
of prison. Still waters run deep and con-
tain the blacklist depths.

Tho prison at Working is where that notori-
GUS American, Mrs Maybrick, has been taken
% expiate the crime for which she was con-
Victed You will no doubt remember that
Mrs Maybricll was sentenced to be hanged,
but the sentence created so much talk and
such a general hullabaloo that it was COM
nUted to penal servitude for life, and Mrs.
Maybrick is an inmate of tho Woking female
prison.
This prison lies two or three miles away
from the railway station and it stands in a
community by itself No one ever visits
Working except for some special purpose, and
the stranger who alights at the station and
walks through the town is looked at wonder
ingiy by the inhabitants, who live just out
side the pale Of the prison community.
There are really two prisons, the male and
The female adjoining each other, but the
1lslA mart has shrunk to such insignificant
proportions that from the latest accounts it
contained but five inmates. Indeed the fe-
male prison is not SO prosperous as of yore,
for which all Englishmen will doubtless give
thanks. In the Last six years the population
Of this confined community has dwindled
some 200, SO that now there are about 400.
The prison is constructed for 100 prisoners,
and as ono walks through its corridors the
rows of empty cells are quite noticeable.
Perhaps the most interesting room in the
prison is where the Irvine is made. 1t is a
long, open room, and the convicts at work at
this labor are kept busy all the time. Indeed,
the supply is not equal to the demand The
Irvine is used mostly by the government, enor-
nous quantities Of it going to the postofIice.
The visitors book in the prison contains the
MINES of famous men and women. One
uame is conspicuous-that of Eugene, once
empress Of the French.
The prisoners themselves, however, are by
lar the most interesting part of the place,
and q visit there is sure to repay the student
of human nature. As a rule they get along
remarkably well together. Indeed there are
instances Of strong friendships. For days to-
gether there has been no reprimand given,
-and q recent visitor who was shown the pun
fshment cell noticed that the strait jacllet-a
-,sontrivance which somewhat resembles q div
ing suit, with its many straps and buckles
Jay on the floor, moldy and unused. Occa-
sionally, however, there is a disturbance, and
then the prison discipline is taxed to the ut
most, for some of the prisoners are like Gagged
tigers.

Those who have contemplated the dismal
Russian prison system, with its dark under
ground dungeons, where prisoners are con
fined sometimes for years, where no sound
breaks upon the ear and nothing disturbs the
awful monotony, can afford to relieve them
selves by glance at her majesty's convict
prison at Woking, England. Not that this
prison is a model, but the contrast between
the two systems is so great.

HIs NEGRO oPPoNENT.

That fair and honest act so dis
gusted him with Democrats and their
ways that he forthwith sought more
congenial associates and naturally
dropped into the Republican party, and the
negroes whom he had cursed and abused
in the shoestring district for opposing him,
became his chosen people, and he drew
them to his palpitating bosom with a
warmth which was at once overwhelming
and smothering. His change of front was
so sudden that yoI could not tell from his
trousers which way he was facing, and his
zeal and frothy love for the negro suddenly
became as intense as his former hatred had
been malignant. The others upon the Re-
publican ticket with Chalmers comprise
the few remaining of that vile and corrupt
horde of cormorants, carpetbaggers, scala
wags and army buns who hoated in upon
those ruined and despoiled people upon the
tide of war to fitch and plumber them of
what little substance they had left. These

that the people of Mississippi had sorry
disappointment in the nomination of j. Z.

Not man upon that ticket ever pre-
tended to be with the Democrats except
the Fort Pillow hero, and his devotion to
Democratic principles was measured only
by his tenure of Office at their hands. The
