A NEW experiment has been tried in
the New York penitentiary on Black
wells island, and so far it has proved
wonderfully successful. A thousand
entertaining and instructive volumes
have been added to the library, and
the prisoners are allowed to read from
$50 to 9 p. m. The privilege is eagerly
embraced. If man be rebellious he
is deprived of his respite in the read
ing-room, and as consequence the
number of insubordinates has dropped
pretty nearly IS per cent.

A NATIVE mendicant, who has been
arrested in Patiala while eating an ex-

that he and two comrades had subsist-

towns of J1guani and Barre and recruited
many hundreds of patriots. He had CON-
that revolution after 1873 and won many
notable victories. including those at

1nces and its outcome was uncertain he
maintained it with vigor in the territory
under his command.
At Maceo's death Garcia was elected lieu
tenant general Of the Cuban army which
position he held to the close Of the war.

erals cooperated in their movements
against Santiago.

active work around Santiago bear testi-
mony to the great aid, assistance and 10y
atty manifested by Gen. Garcia during the
campaign. When the Cuban assembly met
