The Last of the Rebel Colony.

Judge w. Cleary, who died at Gov
ington, KY, recently, was the last sur
vivor of the colony of Confederates who
went over to Canada and carried ON
operations there, greatly to the annoy
ance of the federal government. 1t will
be remembered that they represented
the Confederate government, and from
their headquarters at Montreal carried
ON an active agitation in behalf of the
southern cause. The other members Of
the committee were Jacob Thompson,
O. G. Clay and Professor Holcomb. Now
they are all dead. President Andrew
Johnson offered reward of $40, 900 for
the head of Judge Cleary, but no one
claimed the prize money. Judge Cleary
was an honorable and distinguished cit
izen of Kentucky and held many posts
of honor and trust. After the war was
over he had his disabilities removed,
and no man devoted himself more as
siduously than he to the task of rebuild
ing the Union and restoring amity be-
tween the sections. Washington Post

A Paradise For Criminals.

A correspondent. writing from Italy,
gives some interesting details OF the
treatment Of prisoners on various Ital-
ian islands he visited while on a trip
i'm the Mediterranean. Each of these is
lands contains several hundred prison.
ers. who are locked up every night at
sunset, released at daybreak, and locked
mn again from midday until 2 O'Clock.
During the night no prisoner is allowed
to be absent under any circumstances,
but at midday those who work on farms
at a distance from the prison are al.
lowed to remain out by special permits
sion of the director.
During these free hours the prisoners
can go anywhere they like on the is
land. and can engage in any work Of
fered them by the townspeople or farm
ers. Any infraction of the rules OF or
binary life around them or of their pris-
ON is punished by seclusion in special
cells.
The government furnishes physicians
and medicines, summer and winter
suit of clothes to each prisoner every
wear and allows him fivepence daily III
money for his food and other necessarles
of life. Danger of escape is prevented by
a SQUAD of soldiers-one to every ten
criminals-and q swift sailing felucca.
manned by marines. On account OF the
cheapness of labor, the islands are SC
highly cultivated as to resemble gardens.
The correspondent adds: las for the
prisoners, the open air makes them the
healthiest of any criminals have ever
seen. There is no sign in their faces and
bodies of that prison blight which strikes
every visitor to ordinary jails. Lon

guardian at the door leading to the pri-
vate secretary's Office, who assumed his

sion to introduce uniforms was reached,
