ENGLAND NEEDS RAIN.
The weather Is again exercising the minds Of
the people and now the cry goes up for rain,
which the farmers declare is every bit as much
wanted as sunshine. The pasture lands in the
country round about London are shrivelina
up for want of water and the grass il shorter
than 1t has been for many years past, although
we are already well in the first week of the
month which inspired Browning's well-known
line, oh to be in England now that April
there, the budding of the trees IL still de-
iayed and, as things look at present, we are
likely to have the most backward season Of the
last twenty year
The consequence of this is that vegetables
are not only very scarce but correspondence
dear, while flowers of all sorts are few and
costly. The agricultural interests all over the
country are crying out that the prosperity
which everybody was hoping for seems a. far
off as ever.

this an account of those inmates who are deaf,

manner is required. All papers are educating
their readers how to help the officials in the
preparation of these forms.

unjust and can only inflame the anarchic

governor says in his appeal: ''This country,

From THE PRISON MIRROR we learned
that Chautauqua Literary and Scientific
Circle had been formed among the inmates
of the Saltwater prison. and we have noted
with much pleasure the apparent growing
interest manifested, and now comes the
good news that it is proving very helpful
and promises to be be great success. The
ever widening and far reaching influence of
the c. L. S. G. has probably already out

founders, and yet as an institution it is in
it's youth. The introduction of this course

benevolent man. 1t was a move in the
right direction. Those committed to prison
are seldom wholly bad or devoid Of qualities
which rightly directed and properly en-
couraged will make them intelligent and
reliable men when restored to citizenship
aslthe majority of them in time are. The
state in its punishment of criminals should
aim not only to satisfy justice in the pun
ishment of violators of law, but should in
terest itself in the reclamation of the evil
doors so that when restored to liberty they
may be strengthened and fortified against
temptation and be prepared to fill places of
respect and trust. To accomplish this end
the readings of the c. l.. S. c. are eminently
fitted.-The (CaledOnia) Argus.

We are pleased to note that our late dep
uty warden, Samuel A. Langum. is pros
pering. He has moved his printing outfit
into new quarters, and says that the Pres.
ton Times will hereafter shine with all the
glory of ''way up" exponent of Republic
anism. He feels so good that he bursts out
in jubilant verse as follows:
We write of this paper so lively and neat.
In its general ''make-up' it cannot be beat,

In many home it will always appear.

PRISON DISCIPLINE.

In his remarks Thanksgiving Day the
Warden said that one of the things that we
of the prison had to be thankful for was
that there was no one in the solitary under
going punishment. This is a condition that
is no less gratifying to the management
than to the inmates, but unfortunately 1t is
not usually long continued. However, most
of those in the chapel Sunday morning were
good deal surprised when the Warden
said that the good record of Thanksgiving
Day had been kept up so we'll that there
had not been a man in the ''hOle" during
the eleven days since. This means that 1876
convicts go through the hard routine of
prison life for eleven days without an mex
cuSable breach of discipline. That is the
very acme of discipline. yet there are be-
nighted souls who imagine that the longer
the punishment roll the more efficient the
discipline. The Warden thought that he
had reason to thank the men for their
cheerful. good conduct. We have evidence
in these expressions of the Warden that
discipline is not. as many suppose. enforced
as part of the punishment of lmprison-
ment. 1t is for the maintenance of good
order. and the nearer men comply with the
rules the lighter becomes the burden of dis
cipline. Strict and cheerful obedience on
the part of the prisoners to an unnecessarily
stringent rule is not only the philosophical
method of making it endurable, but is the
surest and quickest way of bringing abate-
ment. Good conduct cheerfully persisted in
will surely win respect from prison officials
as well as from others, and it is not in human
nature to maltreat those whom we respect.
In most respects prison is very much as
the prisoners make it. Every burdensOme
prison rule is the outgrowth of some offense
by prisoners against propriety and the com
mon good of all. The rule against talking
did not originate in desire to deprive con-
victs of the rights of free speech as a pun
ishment for their crimes, but because of the
bad use they made of it. There is no doubt
but what the seals would be taken off the
lips of every convict if it were believed that
it would be for their own moral good. Let
us remember that we as convicts have very
great influence in making our prison home
purgatory or place of benefit to our
selves.
