4 STATE PRISON CHRISTMAS.
How It Was Observed -Pardons
Made and Yet to Be Made.

8NAS 0As~ w W ~ @N@~N~NNE
Tuesday was truly "red.letter" day
at the Oregon state penitentiasy, the
benevolence and kindness of the OFF,
GERS providing feast for the unfortu-
nate inmates of the sad home Of misery,
misfortune and crime. Christmas
began with the morning meal, steak
and fried potatoes being served, instead
OF the beans and dummy" of bread
which monotonously feeds hunger
the other three hundred and sixty-four
breakfasts of the year. AT noon the
men were pleasantly surprised by a
dinner of roast pork, potatoes and
b Iiled squash, supplemented with
stewed prunes and soda crackers; and
every one of them had good cigar.
The chapel was beautifully decorated
with evergreen festoons, wreaths and
enblems, aud there, in the afternoon,
PRISONS string band Of Portland,
which had been previously engaged to
play at the opera house ball, were taken
out to the penitentiary, and for a cou-
pie of hours discoursed sweet music to
the assembled convicts. This, with a
brief speech from the honorable super
intendent, constituted the entertain
ment; but it was, though short, an
enjoyable treat. During the day, the
ordinarily rigid discipline Of the prison
was somewhat released, and the men,
behaving themselves most excellently,
have cause TO thank officers and keep
ers, and to remark the occasion arose
in which they were, though shut away
from the world, not altogether forgot
ten by their more fortunate contempor-
aries outside.

sloops came in at Coenties slip the Levant,
a packet from Fishkill, anchored off the
Battery to wait for change of tide. A
passenger who had been for the first time
in his life on a sailing vessel, and who had
been anxiously begging to steer the craft,
not noticing that the vessel was at anchor,
was told at last that he might take the
helm.
He obeyed the summons with alacrity
and listened to the captains cautions in re-
gard to keeping clear of other vessels, etc..
and then the captain went below
The tide was rushing by at great rate,
and the amateur helmsman felt much graft
fed with the progress his craft was making
as he looked down at the water.
In time, however, an investigation of the
surrounding landscape led to a slight feel
ing of dissatisfaction OH his part, which
steadily increased as time went on. At last
the captain appeared again and inquired
gravely how he was getting on.
