A Maine skipner,s Experience.

The schooner James w Bigelow Cap tain L.. NJ. Bird, has brought with her from southern waters a very realistic story of the Cuban insurrection, says the Lewistown Journal. The craft was lying at anchor in Manzanillo bay, Cuba, on the night of March 20, when a blazing steamship, that had apparently been fired by the insurgents and set adrift among the shipping in the bay, bore down upon the helpless schooner and in a few minutes the forward sails and then the wood work of this vessel were on fire. But a steamship near at hand saw the danger, and coming to her assist ance, hauled the stern around so that the burning wreck was sent clear. Now be- gan a hard fight with flames on the Bigelow, and not until morning were these subdued. Then Captain Bird re- laid with rough plank half of the fore castle deck, which had been burned away put the damaged bow in as good con dition as the materials at hand allowed, removed the remnants of his burned fore stay sail and jib and proceeded to load his vessel with sugar as originally intended, after which he sailed home. He now has brought the vessel to Bath for perma- nent repairs.

PRISON LABOR.

A committee ofthe Illinois Legislature appointed to investigate prison labor has made it's report.
 The majority report reviews at great length the different systems of prison la Dor which have been in vogue in Illino.s since the establishment of the peniten- tiary at Joliet Coming to the State ac- count system, inaugurated by Governor Altgeld, the report declares it to be rad ically wrong." The reasons assigned are substantially as follows: Q) Because the State has not the business facilities or business connections to engage in great commercial enterprises; @ that the prison officials have not sufficient capital to manufacture large quantities of goods and then store them. not hay- ing an available market for ready sales; t3) that the system has proven destruct- i've in the trade interests of the manu- featuring classes throughout the State; CD that the system strikes a vital blow at the wages of the free laboring man; (5) that the system has proven to be an exceedingly expensive experiment. The committee. therefore recommends the to- tai abolishment in the penitentiaries of
 
 adoption of a law in harmony with the advanced stand taken by the State of New York, which in recent convention, after long debate and extended investi- gation, adopted as a part of their struct- ural law the following:
 No person in any such prison or other place for the confinement of offenders shall be allowed or required to work while unoer sentence thereto at any trade, industry or occupation wherein or whereby his work, or the product or profit of his work, shall be farmed out contracted, given or sold to any person. firm, association or corporation; but this section shall not be construed as to pre- vent the product of the labor of convicts from being disposed of to the State, or to any political division thereof, or to any public institution owned or man. aged by the State or by any political division thereof"
 The committee recommends that all the able bodied prisoners be concen- trated at Joliet: that the weak and disa- bled be confined at Chester and be en- ployed in manufacturing clothing boots and shoes, etc; that the convicts at Joliet be utilized in constructive, useful and necessary public works
 The first one which might be profita- bly, entered upon, in the view of your committee,' says the report, would be the construction of a ship canal across the Chicago Divide, commencing at d point where the sanitary trustees leave off, in order to connect Chicago and the Mississippi river by navigable water way and a ship canal.'
 The minority report says that the majority report is inconsistent" and contains a defense of the present state account" system.

QUIET WHEN TROOPS ARRIVED.
A Race Riot That Dwindled Into Small
 Proportions.


 Columbia. s. C., June 1-The States special correspondent accompanying the Abbeyille Rifles, ordered to the scene by Governor Evans to suppress a reported race riot, arrived at Mount Carmel, little town in Abbeville, at 3 o'clock this morning. The soldiers made part of the journey on a special train, and then took wagons for ten miles. The town was quiet when the troops arrived. The trouble had been caused by the killing of a negro who resisted arrest by two white men. This section being thiclxIy settled with negroes they became dem onstratiye and made threats, but it is not believed there was real danger of a conflict. Upon arriving at Mount Car mel the sheriff. assisted by the troops arrested the following negroes, who took the most prominent part in instigating the trouble: Harry Vincent, Israel Ball, Arthur Tilman, Sim Dunlap, Burrell Johnson and Poldo Bull. A preliminary examination was held, and they were bound over to court and taken to jail at Abbeville court house this after noon.

One of the leading iron masters of the Birmingham district pushed aside his correspondence yesterday to talk to an Age-Herald representative. Birmingham iron has won it's way into all the markets of this country, he said. It has been a hard fight, but the victory has been won. Southern iron now rules the market. Ii sets the price. But while this victory has been won, it will never be complete until this Southern iron is manufactured at home. Its cheapness has enriched the manufacturers of the East They work it up into various manufactures and sell these manufactured articles to us at a profit. Locking around his office, the iron master pointed out the steam radi- ator the iron work on the office chairs. the catches on the window sash. the gas pipe, and in fact everything in sight made of iron or steel was manufactured in the North. All these articles should be made in the Birmingham district he said, and soon they will be- At no dis tant day steel will be made here, and it will be worked up into various manu- factures. A steel plant which has not yet been mentioned will soon be con structed. It will be on an immense scale and will carry the iron red hot from the furnace to the steel converters.
 The cities catch all the blind, lame and unfortunate. They stand around the corners and seem to get some pleasure from the hurrying throng that passes them by without notice. It would seem natural for these unfortunates to go out s,, 4l,n cheaper and could lie down under the trees and hear the birds sing. But ID. they prefer the life and hustle of the city street They seem to gain renewed strength from the great heart-throb of the city's life. They forget their misery in a crowd What blessed thing is hu- man sympathy Wild aninals, when wounded. or when frightened by a storm, will seek the companonship of man. How natural then, that our fel- low man, when wounded in the battle of life, or overwhelmed by a storm of misfortunes, should seek our compani IT, ship.
 Secretary Herbert said while in this city that he met oanebrake planter on the train who spoke hopefully of the fu- ture of the black belt He said the prai- rie lands had advanced recently from BIO to $i4 per acre.

A Man in the Room.-The Mobile Reg ister tells of a lady's experience with man in her room as follows: About o'clock yesterday morning at the resi- dence of Mr. J. D. Bloch, at the southeast corner of Lawrence and Government streets, Miss Bloch, a sister of the gen tleman named, was awakened and felt some one pulling at the mosquito bar, and upon looking up she noticed man standing at the foot of the bed. She asked twice who it was and then called out: There Is somebody in my room" Her little niece, who was in the room with her, heard this and began to scream, which brought the male members of the family almost immediately to the room. They were too late, however, for as soon as the noise was made the would-be bur glar deliberately walked to the window. which was open, and leaped out. A care full search was made for him immediately throughout the premises, but it failed to disclose his presence. A neighbor who heard the noise ran to the window and reported having seen a large negro run
