And In It she might tlx her throne
For ever and for eer ;
There, Uko a quoin, might reign and live,

The little slights they might recehe,
And bo offended ne er.

And lead us all to disapprove

They soon retail them all again,

' Come Logan," replied the Superintend

"Ho has an ldea,"a!d Ilutler, as the dus

the only cnti'pofhis political failure was
his weakness In Lnglish grammar, and that,
if he cnn once master syntax, he will get

kindness to encnunige til in in this belief,
llless you I am perfectly safe in doing so.'.
' The inmates are qiilto happy here," the
Superintendent went on, as we entered the
spacious dormitory. They treat each other
affably as n general thing, nnd if n political
llscinsion becomes nt all heated, as once in
a while happen", that small garden hnso yon

wo are obliged to keep n careful watch on
kleptomaniac inmates like Colfax, Patter
son, Belknap and others. They nre apt to
appropriate littlo articles belonging to the
institution or to each other. Secor Robeson
was caught n day or two ago ransacking
Hamilton Fish's trunk, and although the
ex-Secretary denied any evil sntention, a
cake of Spanish scented soap belonging to
Fish was found in his pocket. Robeson is
now locked up down stairs, and Parson New
man, our chaplain exhorts him twice a day,
"What do you do with turbulent sub
jects?"
"Weare troubled with very few. Down
there, at the end of that corridor, where you
see the grated door, is an iron-barred apart
mcnt where the unmanagable and violent
aro confined. ,1 don't think you want to vis,
it it."
As the General spoke, a peal of demoniac
laughter rang through the corridor, and a
grinning visage appeared at the gate, while
the owner Baluted us with a volley of horri
oly prolano anil ribalel abuse. Who was
that '"' I asked, as wo hastened away.
"The only occupants of the apartment for
the unmanageable and violent at present
said Gen. Butler, "are Bob. Ingcrsoli, form'

"Before I go, General," I said, "I should
