 This arraignment of the renal institu- tions of countries was given by Dr. Charles R. Henderson, former President If the National Prison Association, at the University of Chicago last night
 There is no necessity for the present jail system" he said. Tn Europe pris- oners gre kept in separate cells until they ara tried. Here we herd youths and hard ened criminals together and it is a we'll established fact that many habitual crim- inals find keen delight in teaching to their less experienced companions the fine points of criminal practice gained through the experience of years of wrong doing. That such a condition should be permit ted to exist is a shame and disgrace to the entire public"

MT. Frolich's, Political Omen.

I. Frolich, a prominent citizen of Selma and one of Hon. Grover Cieveland's most ardent and enthusiastic admirers. a few evenings ago saw vision in the clouds that has caused him, as the Good Book saith, to dream dreams.
 MT. Frolich was sitting in front of his house when he noticed in the sky a pecu- liar conformation of clouds that was an excellent silhouette portrait of Mir Cleve- land. unmistakably, Mir. Frolich says, c portrait of the seer of Princeton. As MT. Frolich gazed in admiration upon the aerial likeness of his favorite states man there was a slight rift in the clouds and the evening star shone through at the exactly proper spot to represent the eye of Mir. Cleveland. He believes that the sky picture is an omen and confidently ex. poets that Mir. Cleveland will be the next President of the nation.
 Mir. Frolich's vision has been repeated on the streets with interest and many confidently expect that Hon. J. H. Nun melee will follow 1t with a vision of W. R. Hearst of The New York American.

Corporal Felix Walker of the Abbott Rifles with a special detail of three men came to Selma last night and arrested a member of Company c, alleged to have deserted. They-left with the prisoner at 5 o'clock this morning.
 The details of the arrest and its cause are not known here, but 1t is said that the prisoner whose name was not made public. either did not go into camp with the rest of the company or that he left camp without leave of absence.
