"The price of good setter varies according

Lowell gave 81, 500 for Petrol. and other gentle

A JAIL BIRDS SUPPER.

From the London Times.

From the London Times.
In Little Wild street. Drury Lane-one OF
the lowest :horoughfares of particularly low
neighborhoOd-last night the annual supper
given by the st. Giles Christian mission to
members of the criminal classes was held in the
presence Of several governors of Jail, police
court magistrates and others well acquainted
with the habits of law breakers and interested
in work directed toward their reclamation. A
very large body Of men assembled early in the
evening and partook Of ali ample repast, con-
sisting of beef, plum pudding and cheese with
tea and coffee. Subsequently there was a
general assembly in the chapel belonging to the
mission. At this meeting Earl Compton, NJ. P.
presided and was supported, among others,
by Sir Frederick Abel, Capt. Eyre Massey
Shaw, G. B., Mr.. Gainsford Bruce, O. c.,
N. p, Mr.. Curtis Bennett, Mr.. Bag
gallay Mr.. Frank Bevan, the Rev. ]. Nc
Neill and Mr.. d'Eyncourt. From the Informal
ton which laid before the meeting
a. to the work done by the mission, it appeared
that during the year 19, 800 prisoners were dis
charged from the four metropolitan prisons
or these 1873 accepted invitations to break
fast and A. $50 signed the temperance pledge
Besides these, 1859 men and boys were assisted
in other ways. Those connected with the mis-
sion congratulated themselves upon the con-
tinued marked decrease in the criminal statis-
tics-a decrease which had been particularly
marked during the twelve years in which the
work of the society had been carried on among
discharged prisoners. The passing OF the pro-
baton OF first offenders act had greatly in
creased the number OF the lads sent to the mis-
sion by judges and magistrates, and had CON-
PEELED the building Of additional premises in
order to accommodate the cases. The work
had been carried out at great expense, and
a strong appeal was made for support
from the public. Earl Compton eloquently
supported the work and aims Of the
mission and particularly pressed upon his
hearers the fearful evils due to excessive drink
ing. MIR. w. Wheatley, the secretary of the
mission, addressed the men in a very practical
speech, In which he earnestly advised those
who had gone astray to endeavor by hard work,
sobriety and the avoidance OF bad companions
to return to the paths of responsibility and
honesty. He announced that the commits
siOners of police had forwarded Gao and the
names of 1875 employers who were willing to
take on men at his recommendation. Mr.. Cur
tbs Bennett and other speakers addressed the
gathering.
