WILDE,s PRISON LIFE.

Concerning Oscar Wilde's life in prison
the Bookman says:
so many conflicting accounts of the
prison life of Oscar Wilde and of his
condition have been published that we
feel bound to set forth statement of
the actual facts, our informant being an
English official whose position has made
him personally cognizant of them. From
this source we learn that Mr.. Wilde's
physical state is very distressing. He is
unable to assimilate food and an en-
teric disorder which has become chronic
has reduced him TO a condition of great
weakness.
He is governed by the salient system,
and that is rigidly enforced, SO much so
that he has several times been punished
for half involuntarily turning his head
seated beside him. We were inquisitive
enough to ask the nature of his punish
ment on these occasions, and were told
that it consisted of having his rug
taken from him. The rug in question
is d strip of rag carpet which serves as
a substitute for a mattress, being spread
upon the surface of deal door which is
his only bed, SO that, when under punish
ment, he sleeps upon the bare planks.
The gentleman who made these state
ments is persuaded that Wilde will lose
either his life or his reason as the result
of his punishment; but he probably I'M
derrates the extent of human endurance.
The sentence. under the English sys-
tenn of communication. has only six months
more TO run, and it Is generally under
stood that at its expiration Mrs Wilde
will reioin her husband. New York
Journal.

n.o1I,II,n = nRoMEDARY.

For several months no keeper in the
Central Park menagerie has dared to at
tempt familiarity with the dromedary,
which lives just north of the tank wherein
the hippopotami disport themselves. The
drcmedary was separated from its mate
about a. year ago. and lonesomeness has
made it vicious. Yesterday afternoon
three Arabs strolled around and looked
with interest at the captive animals,
some of which they had, apparently,
never seen before. The Arabs were
dressed in red and yellow turbans. baggy
red trousers, tan-colored sandals, blue
stockings and brilliant red sahes.
When they approached the dromedary s
Enclosure the animal was roaring, as
usual and in All angry mood. Suddenly
he espied the turbans of the Arabs over
the iron fence, and ceased his roaring.
Then he peered cautiously at the unwonted
spectacle of an Arab visitor. One OF the
Arabs scaled the fence and dropped INSIDE
the Enclosure only a few feet from the
animal which ranks, in the Central Park
mena gerie, almost with the Nubian non
in point of iierceness. The ship of the
desert and the representative of a race
which for centuries has prodded him to
his destination regarded one another for
a moment. Then the Arab uttered some
thing in his native tongue, probably some
order which 1.-The camel had heard long
ago, and walked up to the animal. The
camel snorted and backed away in mo-
mentary distrust, and then the Arab be-
came the victor. He repeated the. com
mand in Arabian. and the camel followed
as meekly as a lamb.
When he Arab had reached this point of
familiarity, several keepers appeared and
asked him to leave the animals quarters.
He would probably have been arrested II
he had been found in the quarters OF any
other animal, but his temerity in at
tempting familiarity with the dromedary
was sufficient excuse for his violation Of
the menagerie rules.-New York Sun.

time ago the writer paid a visit to
Colonel Cody's room, and found the eX-
scout in a perfect chaos of maps, plRns,
pictures and geological specimens.
After a hearty greeting. the colonel
hustled hither and thither through the

things to rights" as he declared, but
really only succeeding in producing
confusion worse confounded." Finally
he was induced TO take a seat on one
OF the few vacant chairs, and thence
