Their loeation was in,a pleasant valley some three Miles back from the city, and beneath a 'portion of their.gruunds was extended a: large wine vault embracing an area of two acres.' Af ter accompanying M—zo, the junior part ner, 'through the long Vine arbors and or ange groves we deScended to the vault, and' after passing nearly half •the length of one. of the •pipe, tiers we came to a desk where a man was writing • "There is one of your own countrymen," said M—zo, " and he will accompany you through the vaults." • My .concluctor 'called, to 'the man ' who, quickly dropping , his, pen stepped down from the stool. and came : forward. He was employed as clerk in the exporting depart-' went, for the purpoie, of filling up bills, in voices, etc,, for the American, and English merchants. ." You will find Lint 'a strange • sort of a man," wbiepered but he•is,not withstanding a good fellow." for so my companion had called' Was , ft tall, -, well-mado man; apparently on the better sale of forty r and had a pleas ing, intelligent look. "His latir, l which was , quite luxurious, was. ,almost whit 9, and about his countenance -there were evident marks` of saffering. His eyes when he first gazed, on 'Me—which was with a furtive; trembling gUnce—had, au inexpressible look 'of _wildness in them, and -a cold, fearful shudder seemed to run 'through his frame. Gradually he grew more composed, ankas tie showed 'me around among the pipe flanked 'avenues, casting his huge lantern here and'there to show me the, many and' various wines, he began to talk _with coa. aidernblo freedom, though he' yet betrayed a strangeness of manner; 'a sort of Haring of voice and gesture, that could not fad of exciting my curiosity. A casual observer, who might have judged only - from his_ up.: pearance,. wohld have-thought birn'slightly insane, and even'Lfelt a - conviction that his mind was-not exactly comma iL faut. "Do you reside in New Yorkr.he asked; as we stopped fora moment at the extremity, of the.

'"1 Inivera 'wife in that State somewhere, and perhaps a child, but have not.hcard from them for a long time." • ' I noticed that he wiped his eyes with the sleeve of -his linen jacket as - be spoke, and he turned away as though to bide an emo tion that might be thought unmanly. , "Does she not write to you?" I asked. " She knows not where f am." "Do you not write?" - TgirATAN •it -65' " he uttered with a sudden start, a cold tremor shaking his frame the "Ali, sir, I dare not trust my superscrip 7 Lion nor my autograph in—" He hesitated, looked' at me wildly for an instant, and.then starting on he began to enlarge on the different ages; qualities and vintages of the' wine. Twice I ,tried to bring him back to the subject- he had so ahL" left,' but it . Was'of no avail. At length, we came around to the steps that led up to the surface of terra, flrnia: • Themn had al• ready set, and the stars wore beginning to sparkle in blue arch above us. remarked that be had no idea it was so late, and added, with the happiest fi mile that I =I bad yet seen him express, that lip supposed it was because be had such pleasant compa ny, at the same time assuring me that I was the•only A.o3erican with Whom he had held social converse for ovdr a year. As lie was about to close the vault for the night, I pro posed he should accompany me to my ,cafe, take supper with me, and then ' walk with me about the city. R was some time before he would consen to this arrangement, and while he was con sidering upon - it I could see !Mit there was an internal struggle.of no Small !moment lie appeared- to me not unlike a man who is debating whether he shall attack 4 "den of rattlesnakes: After awhile, lthwever, he consented to go, though there was a marked reluetunee in his manner.

An *most Forgotten ; Incident. LLOW ABRAHAM „LINCOLN ANT) OEN. SHIELDS WAIF. (WINO TO FIGHT A. DUEL, BUT DIDN'T. .." Strangely cm 4 lei, the murder. of Marls• field T: WaltVotit by his son recalls the story of Abraham Lincoln's duel. The mother 'of Frank Walworth is the daughter of John J, Hardin, who saved Mr. Lincoln from the remorse that would have overshad owed his life if he had killed Glen. 'Shields. Col. Hardin was a prominent Whig-politi cian, and was• esteemed "the, bravest Man in Illinois." He was killed at the battle of Buena Vista, and in his death fairly earned the distinction which his' admiring friends had given him while living. ' Mr: Lincoln was his intimate friend, and both men were gifted with a large sense of humor, which they turned to good. account. The hostile meeting between Mr. Lincoln and Gen. Shields was brought abOut in this way: A. witty young lady wrote a commu nication for one of _the' Springfield papers; in which there were several passages which the General , was pleased te consider as per sOnally offensive. He was a testy lrisliman, who had a great deal of offenSive dignity,, and could never appreciate' a' joke at his Own expense. He forthwith !went -to the newspaper office and demanded the name of the correspondent, and this being refused, he gave thek editor three days in which to make up his mind either to, refer him to the writer or take a whipping himself. The poor man was greatly distressed. He didn't like to be guilty of the ungallant act of betraying.his lady eorrespondent,;and he did not care to have a fight with General Shields, who was a much stronger man. In this dilemma he came to Mr. Lincoln and told him of his trouble. The lawyer took the matter into Consideration, but he could think of no stratagem for the relief of his friend_ -At last he said to him: " When Shields•comes around with his club tell him that Abe Lincoln wrote that letter." The editor acted upon the:suggestion, and when the irate politician appeared, ready, to carry his threat into execution, he was politely re quested to call upon AbrahaM Lincoln for satisfactioh. • This put a new face on the matter. Gen.- Shields kriew better than to come , fooling about Mr. Lincoln with his cane. He was at that time a great, long-armed, muscular fellow, good-natured, but resolute, and when the occasion demanded he could deal such blows with his•fists as made his antagonists think that rail-splitting WCIS his pastinie. If he had been attacked by Gen. Shields, and bad supposed that it would add'anything to the humor of the tigl►t, , he would have bent his assailant over ins knee and administered' punishment after the Manner Of conscien tious mothers: - But after all his threatening and bluster' Gen.

Mr. Lincoln went early to the gruin.ltivitli his second, and there being some bushes in the plat selected for .the fight, he set to work to clear them away with a hatchet.

Miss Carpenter's recent address in this . _ city on the " Crofton Reform" - in the Irish prison — system should he received with et- tention by the _numerous persons through out the country 'who are anxious to improve and elevate our Prisons. This great reform, 'though it has taken the name of "Crofton," was In fact especially originated by Captain Maconochie in - penal colony in Norfolk Island some thirty - years_s_go. This officer had under his charge some pf the most des perate and abatidonal convicts that the _ - world has ever known. They were on a re mote and solitary island, untouched by the influences' of civilization: They had al ways been governed by the scourge and cbain, or starvation and the musket.— They were considered the outlaws of the human race. With the severest and most bloody discipline, little could be done with them. Ono desperate fellow is said to have been chained to a rock for years, his food brought to hint as to a wild animal, and no one was able, in the smallest degree, to tame or to title him, Capt. Maeonoehie came to this infernal island, where hope and kindnesi had never entered, and resolved to attempt a newprin eiple of treatment: His theory, was to ap ply to the convicts the - same principles that produce Improvement ,and reformation in every-day- life. lie resolyal to stimulate these desperate iVreteltep lfy theliope of re- ward, and that this reward should be in pal t, the mitigation of their sentence. He ac-, cordi ugly framed ncareful slYstem `quarks' for 'arks' for good conduct industly, application, and honest discharge of duty. These marks, when reaching a certain nutftber,. were to ditninisbdin a definite degree, the duration of the sentence. Along with them small sums of money were paid es wages, which were either given to the convict to cultivate hig'self-control, or weretelfl as savings for him, that he Might have _'something with which to stout in the world.' Petty' posts of honor were also offered to the, ambitious, and hi every way the prisoners were brought under the influence of the ordinary motives which affect other people. Any bad con duct., any act of subordination, any coursp. I I of laziness or self-indulgence, inunedi ely brought its penalty in the loss, of' 'ma ks, or, in other words, in increasing the d ra tion of iniprisoninent. The every-day life of the prisoner affected his future, juskas it YelifiNsal'lottlll.4k ,EfltliC "'JIM% kwikgr and useless punishment, but he saw that be' had his future career somewhat in his own hands. His ambition was aroused, his hopes stimulated, his habits of industry and application'eultivated, and a sense of self respect was infused into his character. / The effects of this system, as well as Citpt. Maconochie's remarkable character, upon ; these desperate wretches were wionderful.— Convicts who had been the outlaws of hu manity became orderly, decent,. and indus trious men. Great numbers were entirely reformed. The ruffian who had been chain- ed to the rock was appointed to the most ,responsible place on the island, that of watchman of incoming ships. The whole colony, instead of a ' hell on earth,' became ft decent, industrious, reforming convict set tlement. All this most astonishing alba at reform was broken down through the . stu pidity of the British Government. Captain Maconochie returned a disappointed and broken-hearted man, and it was reserved, we believe, for his daughter to set forth, after his death, to the world the features of the most. remarkable - experiment, in thei hu mane treat meut of prisoners which had ever been made: Though to• this philanthropic officer his own, life must ,have seemed an utter failure, yet the ideas in his system bloomed and pore fruit 'after Pis death.— And one of - the most snecessful prison man agers in England, Mr., novi. Sir Walter Crof ton, took up this neglected plan, improved and - enlarged its features, and set it to work in the Irish prisons. Crofton, it. must. be remembered, was no sentimentalist. lie believed in punishment. He thought that every convict ought to feel at once.the penalties,of his crime. Accord ingly he would not permit the newly-sen tenced prisoner to,efiter into cheerful asso ciated labor with the other convicts, as had been the Custom, in the,British prisons. He arranged that the first experience of the criminal should be bitter and gloomy. He was placed in solitary confinement, with only bread and water to eat, with no indus trial work, an' seeing no one but his keep er, whoie dui it was to explain to him fre quently the pr nciples of the reform upon' which he wa, soon to enter. After some weeks of this bitter solitude he was brought forth among other prisoners to perform as sociated labor. And there for the first time he could enjoSt the benefits of the ` mark' system. Each 'day's conduct determines the duration of his sentence. lie knows that by his awn industry, order, good conduct, and application to his books as well as his work, he can shorten his imprisonment by fully one-third. After this stage of disci pline be goes on to a higher, where more freedom is allowed and wages may be earn ed,'and Tthally he reaches the highest grade, where he and his associates work io the open field without chain, wall, Or keeper, and return to liarria;ks at night, from which they are at liberty any time to escape. Ev • ervthing here is intrusted-to theirdionor and their self-control. But they know that if they violate their privileges ,th'ey will be obliged 16 begin their whole ascent to lib erty over again. The concluding range is where the prisoner is Se;t: loose' in society, but under police surveillance, and required to report; once in a giveO time, to the pub lic authorities. . This, in brief,. is 'the " Irish prison sys tem." It has worked as remarkable. effects in the Irish prisons as it did on Norfolk Isl and. It doeS not of course prevent new crime, but it breaks pp the great evil of the modern prison aystem—a tendency to the repetition of „crime: It sends forth the con victs• substantially reformed men. Under it, in the past - few yen s, the number of con victs of the Irish prisOns has fallen off fifty per cent. Who'Nvill attempt thiS great re form in the United States?—.N. 3.
