ORIENTALLUXURP AT HOME

The wonders OF the Orient lay re-
vealed before the eyes of all who care
TO see them, and that, too, without it
being necessary to journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work than is necessary, and when not
working, his engrossing care is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art OF living appears bet
ter understood in the East than in
our bustling Western world.
There IS now hardly q fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least its coy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque in
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever il is, be sure it is the result Of an
inner craving for the beautiful things
of life.

Report Of Miners Wanted al Vardnsr,
Idaho.

= There. is an item going the rounds of
the newspapers which states that min
ers can secure employment at Wardner,
Idaho, at good wages. Such is not the
case, however. The item is false and
emanated from a Wardner newspaper
in the control OF a mining corporation at
wal with the miners.
President Quinlan OF the Virginia
Miners Union is in receipt OF a letter
from the financial secretary OF the
Wardner Miners Union asking him to
contradict the report that miners can
find work at Wardner. The letter states
that a miners strike is in progress at
Wardner, and that many miners are out
OF work there. The letter requests Vir-
ginia miners and all others to stay away
from Wardner.

readopt the silver planks OF their '92
platforms and nominate Senator Allison
and Col. Pill Aorrison Ms the heads OF

parties would have platforms which
would mean gold to the gold men and
silver TO the silver men, and candidates
whom the gold men would believe to be
for gold and the silver men for silver"
This gentleman may have been a little
severe on Senator Allison and Col. Nor
rison, but if anybody knows the position
occupied by either OF them ON the silver
question they have not taken the public
into their confidence, and it is certain
that both gentlemen have palpably dod-
ged opportunities to place themselves
squarely on record either way.

The News Letter, commenting on and
reprobating the publication OF the details
of the Durrant trial in the daily papers,
bewails the effect that it is having on the
"young ladies in their teens'' and says
that nothing else is talked of in draw
ing rooms" Well; when young ladies
in their teens can not safely be admitted
to drawing rooms lest the conversation
there should teach them to "know about
the mysteries into which it has been the
exclusive privilege of husbands to init
ate their young wives" it would seem to
be high time for the mothers of society
to get up a crusade for the purity Of the
drawing room, as well as to work for the
purity of the press. But why more SOL
icitude about the initiation OF "young
wives than young husbands, in the
state Of society which the new woman
is bringing about with such mighty
strides? The News Letters criticism

A law was recently passed in Illinois
that over each schoolhouse an Ameri-
can flag should float. Strange as it may
seem, that law is being fought furiously
in some of the counties of that State.
The people there need some training.
We think that Gen. Penrose of Fort
Douglas has about the right idea. He
insists that whenever the flag appear it
should be saluted by everyone, and

Is DRUNKENNESS crime? We read
under this heading a lengthy article in
the negative in recent exchange, and
the position taken, seems to be very
weak, in that it would throw all the
blame of actual crime committed, by
an intoxicated person, upon the police
man. It holds that men, while under
the influence of liquor, should not be
held to as strict an account for their
actions as if they were in the full en-
joyment of all their mental faculties,
and that the police should watch over
any person so intoxicated, as to be in a
condition of mental stupor, and prevent
any overt act on his part; in short,
the drunkard should have special care
taken of him, to see that no harm
comes to him while he is enjoying his
little spree. Now THE MIRROR takes

Washington, Mar. 9.-Under prOvi-
sion adopted by amendment to the sun
dry civil service bill the military pris-
on at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, is to be
transferred from the jurisdiction of the
secretary of war to that of the depart
ment of justice After July l the pris
on will be federal institution for the
confinement of all prisoners convicted
to serve sentence in the United States
courts The military prisoners con
victed by court martial will, after July
1, be confined at the post where the
trial was held, except in aggravated
cases, when they will also be sent to
LeavenwOrth. The change is to be
tried as an experiment. and, if it works
well, other federal prisons will be
erected. 1t will require vast additions
to the present plant to make it suf
fcienty large to confine all the United
States prisoners, and this will not be
attempted at the present time The
position as superintendent will be an
important Office, and there are several
applicants in the field already. Among
them is Albert Garvin, now of Kansas
He has strong Endorsement for the
position from that state and from Min
nesota and Illinois.
Mr.. Garvin is known throughout the
country as being one Of the best prison
wardens in the country He served for
many years as warden of the state
prison at Joliet, and his administration
at the Saltwater penitentiary was one
of the best ever enforced at that in
stitution.
Mr.. Garvin has many friends who
will assist his candidacy. Atpresent the
prospects are very good for his appoint
ment. The position is not regarded
as political one, and only applicants
who have had years of experience in
penal institutions will be considered.

THE AVERAGE ATTENDANCE 1875.

LOST wealth may be replaced by in
dustry, lost knowledge by study, lost
health by medicine, but lost time is
gone forever. The most severe part
of the punishment imposed upon the
violator of the law, does not, as many
would think or believe, consist in the
fact, that a man is cut off from all en-
joyments or pleasures of the world:
that he must wear stripes, and con-
stantly labor under severe discipline;
the real punishment consists in the pre-
cious time wasted, the years taken out
of, at best, a short life, without any
remuneration or benefit. Until within
a few years, the man sent to prison was
really buried for period, and so far
as any progress in life was made,' so
far as any benefits were derived to-
wards making the future better, the
man might as well have been asleep.
There is vast difference between those
days and the present, in the life OF
the convict. Then the aim was solely
to punish. tC crush, to degrade the
offender, remove him from the haunts
of man, and if he died in all his bru
tality and ignorance, so much the
better for himself and society. Nc
effort was made towards his reform
alton; no thought was given that he
possessed an immortal soul, or that hid
den in that, presumably, crime stained
heart, were elements of a nobler ant
better life; that with proper develop
ment the man might become goot
and useful member of society. Hap
