HITS AND STRIKES.

My dear little boy came here today
To see his papa once more.
He sat on my knee and had this to say
To him who the prison-garb wore:
Papa, let them make me prisoner too,
And then will stay here with yOu.''
Like the guiding stars to the mariner sad
Are the eyes of my little boy blue.
The clasp of his arms made my heart feel
glad
For know that my ladde is true.
We will play and sing when freedom is won
And there IL ne'er be cloud on our sun.

A VISITING magistrate of a pris-
on in the North of England, a very
humane member Of the Society of
Friends, wrote to the Howard AS
sociation recently as follows
Il hope the Howard Association
will not join in the present at
tempt to make prisons more attrac-
tive, that has been so marked in
the parliamentary committees pro-
ceedings. [ consider the governor
Of the prison here to be very
good judge on these matters; and
he says that at present there is no
dread of prisons from the INSIDE,
and that when all the new modifi-
cations are operative, it will be-
come most difficult to maintain
discipline: and numbers of idle
people will come in for rest and
food, as we'll as being sent by rail
at public expense.
ut seems to me that there is
considerable feeling on the outside
that when a prisoner has. by some
offense against the laws, qualified
himself for admission to Jail, he
becomes an interesting individual
in whose behalf it is patriotic to
rail against those on whom his
punishment devolves.
Il think the food in prisons
wants some notifications; and it
is because of my unwillingness to
reduce the stated diet, that [ pre-
fer to continue the whipping, rath-
er than undermine man S strength
by short rations. And those are
the only two courses open for the
punishment of offenders, in jail"
The above sentiments are by no
means confined to England. The
idea is frequently advanced in this
country that the treatment and
keeping Of prisoners, as we'll as
their place Of confinement, should
be of such a nature as to inspire
terror.
Fortunately for the reputation
of humanity these ideas are steadi-
ly loosing ground. The idea that
a man would deliberately commit
a crime in order to get into prison
is certainly far-fetched, and if it
is even possible that such can be
the case in England, it is indeed a
sad comment on the situation Of
the poor in that country, and it
will require measures of an entire
ly different kind than those adj
vanced by the honorable gentle
man in order to bring about a
change.
In other words, it will require
the modification of existing indus
trial conditions in such manner
that it will be possible for idle
people to obtain rest and food' by
other means than by breaking into
prison.

Supreme Lodge knights of Honor VS..
Oeters, &c. Reversed. Opinion by
Judge Rely.
Oeters failed to pay before the las;
dey of December the assessments for
that month. By force OF the consti;u-
lion of the order, he stood suspended
January 1st, and was 20 reported to the
Supreme Lodge. No written applics-
ion was made for reinstatement. He
died in February, mot in good stand

tight to claim payment of his Insult
ance. He had paid, and the financial
reporter bad received certain moneys
in January, for which month there
had also been assessments but not
enough to pay what was due for De
cember, and it was contended that the
habit of receiving assessments after the
end of the month constituted waiver
by the order OF its right to exact strict
compliance with the rule, and estor-
ped it from claiming forfeiture. There
islno evidence that the order was aware
of this habit, and the constitution ex-

INTERESTING DE, ISIONS.

Among the decisions rendered by the
Court Of Appeals on Thursday Wei
the following:
Atlantic and Danville Railroad Com
pauy VS.. Ironmonger Reversed. Opin-
ion by Judge Buchauan.
Since the writ was awarded in this
case the case of the same plaintiff VS..
Rie2er, which arose out Of the same
accident, has been decided, and virtual
Iy controls the material questions raised
herein.
So, the right of married woman to
recover damages for expenses or for loss
of time was fully considered in Rich
mond Railway and Electric Company
VS.. Bowles, 80 Va, 73S, and the con
clusion reached that, notwithstanding
chapter l03 Of the code, the husban is
still entitled to the services OF his wife
and is bound for her support; and in an
action for damages for personal il jury
to her, loss of lime is not an clement OF
damage, unless averred in the declara-
ton aud shown in the proof that she
was sole trader nor are the costs OF
her cure, unless it be averred and
proved that she paid such costs out OF
her separate estate.
The record here shows her to have
been married woman. but there is
neither allegation nor proof that che
was sole trader, or that the costs were
paid out of, or that she had, separate
estate.
Held: The court erred, therefore, in
directing the jury to consider these two
items in making up their verdict There
was proof OF loss OF time, and of money
paid for her cure. Under the instruC-
ton the jury ought to have considered
these items, and We cannot say they did
COT do what they ought to have done,
and that though the instruction was er
roneous, it was harmless error.
Where the passenger is in vehi
Gle by Invitation OF the owner and driv
er, and is exercising no control over
him, the negligence of the driver cannot
be imputed to the passenger.
Same VS.. Mrs. james. By agreement
of counsel the decision in the case just
reported is to prevail 10 this.
