Prison Poets.

Some amusing studies of human nature are
given in a collection of poetry composed by
inmates of English prisons. George Bidwell,
the American adventurer who perpetrated a
celebrated robbery upon the Bank of England,
was one OF the most prolific of these sequestered
bards. He is said to have written ream after
ream of highly moral ballads upon such sub
jects as the joys of innocent childhood and the
folly OF evil doing.
In prison prayerbook was found the follow.
ing cOuplet:
Good by, Lucy dear;
I'm parted from you for seven long year.
ALFRED JONES.
Beneath it is written, by another hand:
If Lucy dear is like most gals
She'll give few sighs or means,
But soon will find among your pals
Another Alfred Jones.
phlOsophic convict gets poetic, and the fol-
lowing effusiOn is the result:
Icannot take my walks abroad,
I'm under lock and key;
And much the public applaud
For their kind care of me.
The honest pauper in the street
Half naked behold,
Whilst am clad from head to feet
And covered from the cold.
Thousands there are who scarce can tell
Where they may lay their head;
But I've a warm and we'll aired cell,
bath, good books good bed.
While they are fed on workhouse fare
And grudged their scanty food,
Three times day my meals get
Sufficient, wholesome, good.
Then to the British public health,
Who all our care relieves;
And while they treat us as they do,
They'll never want for thieves

THE NE BlTTLESfTPS.

The bids are all in for the construct ion
of tine two new battieships for the
United States navy, and decision will be
maGe at about the end OF the current
month. Under the law, one of the ships
must be built on the Pacific coast so
that the UEion Iron Works of San Fran
cisco is sure OF one contract.
These two ships are designed by the
Governept and bids were made on those
designs. They are to be the most power
fol fighting ships in the world, of
sufficient defensive power. but with
enormous offensive equipment, based on
tie principle that the ''best armor" is a
big gun. They are to be OF IL, 500 tons,
and specifically unlike any now afloat
or planned in that they will have what is
known as double turrets, "steeple" fash
ion, one placed above the other and both
TO be turned by the same power and cap
able OF delivering the fire of all their
guns at once wit, an arc greater than
that OF any battleship ever designed.
The ships, completed and equipped
will cost about $4,000 each. They
wi carry a complement of about 600 men
ard o@cers. They will draw less water
than is usual with shirs OF the same dis
placement and besides will have greater
speed and steaming endurance. II the
builders succeed in builuing shirs ac-
cording to the promise of tie plans la Id
down, it is predicted that none OF the
mammoth vessels OF Great Britain or
France would be able TO defeat them, and
they will he the peer of anything now in

One Of these ships, contrary to the ruo

sarge. The other, we hope, will be
named Rhode Island. Al all events, this
newspaper has sent to the Navy Depart

upward OF 1000 Rhode Islanders.

percentage of tho S37o, o,oco, ,oco That CO. Gov
ernor FLOWER estimates is hid away do
ing no good TO ans body, while the COM
merce OF the nation halts and the gold
reserve remains hungry. But something
has been scored TO patriotic sentiment.
The hoarding of these small sums OF
gold, Mr.. FLOWER said, began during
the war days, and most OF the 1870, 600, coo
now hidden away with the people at
large began to be boarded when the gov
ernment was in the thro~ OF the civil
war. This gold has passed from father TO
son in many OF the country towns, and
Ex-Governor FLOWER sees no reason un-
der the sun why it should not now be
turned into the sub-treasuries receiving
legal tender notes in return.
Mr. FLOWER, as an old time country
boy was thoroughly familiar with the
fs5cination a gold piece has for many
folk in the rural districts, and believed
that il once the superstition Git almost
amounts TO that concerning the value Of
few gold pieces hidden in the socks
could be overcome there would be a
natural and easy flow OF this secreted
gold into the sub-treasuries OF the couu-
try.
Now, won't somebody pick the gold out
OF their te.th aud send 1t to the treasury?
This would give new impetus to the
sentiment inaugurated by Ex-Governor
FLOWER. We guess there is more gold
being carried around in teeth in this
country than is boarded away in old
socks.

MIR. George Henry States His Position

To THE EDITOR oP The NEWS:
SIR The Journal has not only refused
to publish my corrections of its errors
concerning the candidacy of Mr.. George
Il. Combeck for harbor master, but has
retained my manuscript. May ! not re-
quest your kind courtesy for like rur-
pose?
AT the meeting OF colored voters at
SHADES Hall. on the evening OF Novem-
her IL, the attempt was made by Charles
III. West and John Z. Minkins to put our
people In opposition TO the Republican
party on the pretense of Mr.. Combeck's
failure to receive the nomination for har-
Dor master. That attempt was defeated,
in part, probably, by my efforts. awaken
ing the fierce vindictiveness OF the con-
spirators, which has not yet been quieted.
At that meeting 1 explained the action
of the caucus of the delegates to the tate
Repu bliCan city convention, OF which i
was one, that nominated Mr.. Combeck,
at hat caucus, for harbor master; that
several other gentlemen were also nomi-
mated for the same office, and that, a bal
lot being taken, Mr.. Combeck received
two votes; other votes were scattered for
different candidates, but Mr.. Stone receiv-
ed majority Of al the votes and conse-
quentiy the nomination.
Ii was q fair and honest ballot, end Alr.
Stone was fairly and sqnareiy selected as

in The caucus-to carry the matter
further, or TO feel that / or my race had
been wronged because among several can

not received the vote OF a majority OF the
delegates.
That would not have been according TO
Republican prime jples. which believes in
the rule of the majority.
MY statements al the Slade's liza meet
