A BABY IN PRISON.
Ohio PenitentiarY Has a Bright Little
"Moonshine" Inmate.

Not much has been said of the
''peDitentiary baby" says the Co
lumbus (O.) Dispatch, but each
night when Matron Armstrong
turns in the count of the female de-
partment it always concludes with
land one baby The little thing is
a pleasant disposit:oned little girl.
pretty as a peach. and loved by the
women in the prison as their own
child. 1t is a CLEAN Of sunshine that
will leave the prison a dreary place
when she leaves, which viii be June
Is, next The little girl bears the
name Of Lucy Tharp, and came to
the prison with her mother and her
reputed father Mary and William
Tha1p, from Florida. The little
thing was placed behind the prison
walls through no fault of her own on
May 2 Of the present year, her father
and mother being corrected by
Uncle Sam for making 'moonshine"
without having his permission to do
so, and without paying the tax on
the same. The pretty little thing
came to the prison barefooted, and
when she was presented at the front
gate it was debated whether OF not
to admit her. But she began to
play with her bare toes and looked
up into the face of the guards, the
captains and the warden with such
a cunning little smile, that it was
considered settled that she should
stay from that minute, and own the
institution if she so chose.
She has friend in every prisoner
there who has seen her, every guard
who knows her, and the matrons
love the innocent little thing as
their own. She is about .18 months
old, though she looks older. She
has had but one dose of medicine
since she has been in the big prison
house, and that was a small dose of
castoria prescribed by DIR. Tharp
for a slight bowel trouble. She eats
heartily, and her food is carefully
administered. Queen Lucy" she
might well be termed, as she queens
it over all, but is not a bit spoiled.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1896-08-27

EDITOR of the HERALD: Your adj
vocacy of the denomination of Senator
Baxter should meet with the hearty
approval of Grant County Republicans.
Mr.. Baxter has served his district,
and particularly Grant County, very
well during the past four years and
the experience gained by him as a
legislator will make him more Elf
cient servant of the people the second
time than he was the first. This
northern district Of Grant viii no
doubt be heartily for him, and il IS to
be hoped that the southern district
will support him. giving him. as he
deserves. the solid county vote in the
nominating convention
But do not the reasons thar support
the claim of Mr.. Baxtert for a nomina-
ton also apply with equal force to
Mr. Bradbury? lie made a good
representative and would, on account
Of greater experience, do better the
next time. There are other gentle
men spoken of for the place. and one
OF them resident of your city has
been actively at work for months to
secure the nomination. As to the
fitness of this gentleman and the
others | have not much to say except
this:-There is nothing apparently to
recommend them above Mr.. Bradbury.
The last named gentleman is as
capable as any of them, and this
being the case, deserves the acknow-
Judgement of past services which a
denomination gives.
1t is certainly fair and polite that
some one outside of Lancaster should
receive the nomination for the Assemb-
ly. Lancaster has the Senator now.
He deserves denomination and will
undoubtly get it. Ought Lancaster
to ask this assembly district to also
support Lancaster man who in point
of merit is not claimed to be superior
to other candidates? In the interest
Of harmony and the rights of the re-
mainder of the district l think this
question should be answered, no. There
is an idea abroad in the land that Lam
caster wants the earth. This is
time to disabuse some of our repub-
lican minds of that idea. REPUBLICAN.

Mrs. Stowe, when she came unex-
pectedly face to face with an exhi-
bition of the general feeling of rev.
erence and gratitude toward herself.
We had gone to the room of the
Brothers Castellani, the workers in
gold. Mrs. Stove was full of en-
thusiasm, and we fingered long over
the things which the brothers
brought forward to show. Among
them was the head of an Egyptian
slave carved in black onyx. While
we were enjoying it one of the
brothers said to Mrs. Stowe:
Madam, we know what you have
been to the poor slave. We are our
selves but poor slaves still in Italy
you feel for us-will you keep this
gem as slight recognition Of what
you have done?' She took the level
in silence, but her eyes were filled
with tears and it was impossible for
her to speak.
