The above editorial on the Virginia
penItentiaryl Is from THE RICHMOND DIS
PATCH. 1t IS certainly subject for con-
eratulations TO all who are interested IN
the well-being of the State and to her tax
payers 70 know that Virginia has been re-
leved of the burden of paying out large
sums of money for the support Of her peni-
Tertiary cOnyicts.
The ProGress has always been consistent
advocate OF convict labor, both on the
ground of humanity and economy. IL
saves the State great expense, and we are
quite certain that the eonyicts are happier
and are improved by being. employed.
North Carolina has also been enabled so
10 give employment to her convlcts as TO
make them self-supporting. This has
been done chiefly by working them upon
what Is known as State farms, and 1t
would doubtless be good idea tor the au-
thorities OF Virginia to look carefully into
the State farming plan for future adoption,
should 1t DO found advisable.

He was = worn-out Confederate home for
a furlough. The first morning after his ar
rival home no strutted proudly before the
mirror, for he had just clothed his upper
half in no less a garment than bhed
shirt. His satisfaction was immense. lie
smoothed the immaculate bosom with an
admiration amounting almost to arrogance,
and at every break OF tue crisp linen
smiled sweetly. 49,,
Perhaps there had always been little
bit of the dude about hun. At any rate.
three years of hardship and dirt in the
camp hadn't knocked tho love Of cleanll-
ness out of him.
That linen shirt in its spotloss purity
seemed very beautiful 10 him. Perhaps,
too. tie happiness was much increased by
the thought that certain brown mead
belonging 20 @ certain little girl whom no
had not seen for many day might rest
very comfortably against that very snirt-
bosom. At this last thought dreamy,
misty look crept into his eyes, and he IN:
ficted sundry small wounds upon himself
IN shaving.
True NJ was that his suspenders could
have scarcely been termed more than o
series of knots even by Lord Chesterheid,
and these knots had way or continually
breaking, thereby endangering the secqrl;;

But when an hour or so later, mount,

upon his brown-eyed fdnces an unforeseen
occurrence took place.
A neat little squad OF boys in blue burst
upon bis startled gaze just as he neared
the residence OF his sweetheart, and then
an exciting chase took place. bending
close to his horses neck, he lodged WIN
great dexterlty the whlst,ing bullets that
flew around bis now hatless head. But,
alas for those treacherous suspenders .,
they failed hin in his hour Of need, ana
