PRISON NOTES.
SOCIAL relations are as distinct
among criminals ai among honest
men, and It Is not a little amusing as
well as Interesting, to note the severity
with which the lines are drawn. For
gers, bank robbers, bank burglars,
" false pretense men" and an exception
al class of murderers form the ' upper
ten." Housebreakers, highwaymen
and the like are rated next, while men
convicted of rape and other depraved
crimes must walk In the lower circles.
A ' high toned" convict would not
deigu to converse with a .meaner prison
er, much less to associate with him. In
a sketch of prison life at Auburn the
Syracuse Courier sayB :
The aristocrat holds up his head in
the consciousness of his supremacy,
while the lowly one shuffles along in a
dejected manner. The aristocracy,
strange as it may seem, are not disliked
by the humbler prisoners, but on the
contrary are respected. Ferhaps the
most aristocratio convict that ever wore
the prison garb was Oilman, the insur
ance scrip raiser from New York. He
could not find it in hla nature to place
himself on a level with the beings about
him, and held himself strictly aloof from
them.
One afternoon the writer entered the
office of the State Agent for Discharged
Convicts, where Oilman was employed
as clerk. The man seemed glad of an
opportunity to converse with some one
from the outside world, and talked long
and earnestly. When Marie Boxe sang
to the convicts in the prison chapel,
Gilman who was an adept in the use of
the pen, prepared an embellished card,
bearing a quotation from Tennyson,
which was so applicable to a person shut
out from the world, that Marie Roze In
quired after the man. She was told of
his position and his offense, and evinced
a deep Interest In him. She accepted
the card, and returned a graceful expres
sion of sympathy.
Joe Coburn, the pugilist, is an aristo
crat. He occupies the place of " Depu
ty's waiter." A part of his duties is to
apply the paddle to refractory convicts.
Joe's pbyslcial developments enables
blm to wield the instrument of correc
tion with salutary effect. Coburn looks
after the office of the Deputy Agent, or
head keeper, but his task is an easy one
on the whole. The lawyers are looked
upon as " great men" by the prisoners,
and words from their Hps find endless
repetition among the other prisoners.
Stone, one of the famous Canastota "fire
bugs" is pointed out as a " prominent"
convict. He is a keen perceptive man,
and exerts a great influence over the
men. He is at present serving in the
capacity of chaplain's waiter.
King, a lawyer from New York, a
"life man," Is shrewd but deceitful.
The prisoners respect him, but at the
same time are distrustful of him. "Dan"
Kelly, the bank robber, once escaped
from Auburn prison, but is now carefully
watched. On account of his escape he
is the idol of the convicts, although he
will have nothing to do with them. The
lowest man that ever entered the prison
was an old negro named Frank. He
served half a dozen terms, all for rape,
and was despised by every man in the
institution. He died about a year ago
while serving a sentence. Envy is a
rank element of prison life.
There are many " desirable situations'
even In a prison, and the strife among
convicts to secure these places is aston
ishing. . The position of waiter Is a par
ticularly good one. A waiter's duty
consists of taking care of the shop, of
fice, hall or wing where employed.
There Is but little to do, and the convict
is enabled to read, chew tobacco, and
talk to his heart's contents. A place as
attendant in the hospital is one of the
best In the prison, ,The convict has
many opportunities to secure a dish of
milk or some delicacy purchased for the
patients. The men in the hospital live
like kings, so to speak, and enjoy many
advantages that the convicts in the
shops never know. The kitchen is a
place much sought after, as the men can
once In awhile make little dishes for
themselves, such as they would not oth
erwise obtain.
There are convicts who possess more
influence with the officers than would
be imagined, and not infrequeutly they
exercise It in securing a position. Gam
bling Is carried on to a great degree.
The convicts do not use cards, as one
would suppose those are too liable to
detection. They bet on events, changes
in the weather, the time of day, and
everything of that character. They al
so " odd and even," " flip," " match,"
"roll," "throw for the crack," and
the like. Convicts are not supposed to
carry money, but they do just the same
and sometimes considerable sums. As
they are carefully searched and their
clothing taken from tbem, the men can
not take money into the prison with
them. They obtain their money usual
ly from friends who visit them.
They sew their money up in their
clothing ud it Is seldom that it & dis
covered. Occasionally a man will be
found with ten or twenty dollars In
coins In hlB coat collar or olher parts of
his clothing. There are pawnbrokers
and money lenders. These criminal
Sbylocks are more exacting than the
" uncles" of the street. The convicts
"put up" some trinkets, which they
mostly all Iibvp. or pledge something
else to get a few dimes or pennies. Gam
bling Is the great evil, but It is the only
exciting pastime the convicts have. If
a keeper or guard can be " bought" the
convicts will pay blm a good salary
right along to perform services for them
such as bringing papers, tobacco and
edibles and taking out letters.
Some convicts keep up a regular cor
respondence with friends outside. The
letters " pass through the underground"
as the officers term it. A convict pre
vails upon the foreman of his shop, who
is always an outsider, or some citizen, as
there are many of them employed in
the fine work in the prison, to carry out
his letters and bring back the answers.
Thus letters go in and out. The con
victs will give a great deal for New
York papers, and they will have them
at any price. The prisoners keep well
posted on the events of the day, and dis
cuss with intelligence any subject that
is being treated In the papers. If there
is one thing more than another that a
convict likes to do it is to " trade."
The men are bartering constantly and
some become possessed of considerable
" property" which, however, they must
at all times keep concealed. Not so very
long ago an interesting convict estab
lished a distillery in the prison and en
gaged in the manufacture of liquor. He
excavated beneath a stone in the floor
of the kitchen, where he was employed,
and set a small tube In the hole. With
hops used in making yeast and corn and
barley used lu making bread and soup,
he produced a potation that would In
toxicate. Drunkenness became quite
prevalent, and finally the distillery was
discovered and the " moonshiner" put
in the prison jail on bread and water.
While he ran the distillery he did
well, and would in a short time have
been comparatively wealthy. " Beer" as
it is called, Is made to this day from the
bread crusts, but the makers have to ex
ercise caution. One man raised a quan
tity of tomatoes on the window sill of
his shop, and sold the crop for a large
sum. Smoking, although strictly pro
hibited, is indulged in at night after the
men are " locked." A spell ago a watch
was taken from a man. The convict
carried it in a leather bag suspended in
his pants leg by means of a string. The
convicts pin things inside their clothing
to keep them from the officers, and car
ry knives and other implements in their
hats and shoes.
Gen. Morgan Carries Out the Joke.
WHILE we were lying in camp at
Itossville, Georgia, writes a cor
respondent, the Sixtieth Illinois return
ed from their furlough with a number
of recruits. One of these having ex
hausted his supply of clean shirts, and
not having learned to be his own laun
dress, asked a veteran where he could
get some washing done.
" Do you see those tents there by the
church V Well, go there and ask Mr.
Morgan; he does washing. He's a
crusty old cuss, but If you talk pretty
nice to him he'll do it for you."
The recruit went as directed and found
Gen. Morgan walking in front of bis
tent, dressed as was his custom in the
uniform of a high private.
"Where will I find Mr. Morgan?
asked the recruit.
" My name is Morgan. What will
you have V"
" I came here to get some clothes
washed."
" H-m-m. Who sent you here to get
your clothes washed V"
"John Smith, over here in the
Sixth."
" Corporal of the guard 1" (The cor
poral advanced and saluted Morgan.)
" Young man, go with the corporal and
show him John Smith, so that he can
bring him here. And you come back
with him and bring all the dirty clothes
you have."
They departed and so returned with
the guilty veteran and a huge armful of
dirty shirts, socks, etc.
The General to Smith" Did you send
this yoQng man here to have his clothes
washed V"
" Yes, sir, for a joke."
"For a Joke! Well, we'll have the
joke carried out. We do have clothes
washed here sometimes. Corporal, take
this man Smith and that bundle of
clothes down to the creek and have him
wash them, fold them up neatly, and re
turn them to the owner! See that be
does the job up handsomely."
The veteran went away to his work
sorrowfully, and the General resumed
his walk.
Do You Like the New Remedy ?
A mau la Rhode Islund was cured of
a bad case of rheumatism by being
struck by lightning. He was not killed
either. We may now expect to see a
" testimonial" something like this :
"Mr; Jove; DearSIr; It Is with a
grateful heart that I can recommend
your Thunder Bolts for the cure of rheu
matism in Its worst stages. For seven
teen years I was a sufferer; I lost the
use of my lower limbs, and spent five
hundred and forty-two dollars in medi
cal attendance. Life became a burden,
and I prayed for death, wheu one of
your Bolts came along and went right
to the spot. I was knocked Insensible,
but soon recovered, and now I am well
enough to run for a political office.
Your Bolts contain no mercury and do
not have to be " well shaken before tak

U. S. Grant, Jr.'s, Broken Engagement.
The version of Miss Flood's friends is
that the former and her mother went to
the mountains with the understanding
that young Giant should join them In
a day or two. Instead of doing so he
wrote to say that he was sick, and could
not come until the next day, neglecting
to add that his malady was sickness of
his bargain. The next day he wrote
that his illness continued, and be must
again postpone bis coming. And so It
went on from day to day, until the story
reached Miss Jennie's ears that her
Ulysses was industriously flirting with
other women down here. Then she got
out her sal volatile and wept, and said
he did not care for her, and wanted to
marry her only because of her money,
and she vowed he should never have a
single silver brick, not even a solitary
scad, and she broke off the engagement.
The version of young Grant's friends is,
that the wedding was the fancy of the
old folks, and that they talked their
children into the engagement, while
their own inclinations were not over ar
dent. After obligingly and filially
plighting faith they separated, Ulysses
going East and falling desperately in
love with another girl. After strug
gling loyally agalnBt this passion for
months without weakening its force
in fact, fighting it out on that line all
summer, according to the family pro
verb he resolved to come here in the
fall and state the case fairly. This, they
say, was his sudden errand here, and he
performed his duty.
Which version is correct it is hard to
determine at present, society here being
very much divided upon the question,
and only certain of the one momentous
fact that the much-talked-of engagement
is off. San Francisco Chronicle.
A Brave Boy Kills a Horse Thief.
A few miles west of Culbertson is a
ranch, and near by a herd of horses.
About a week or so ago four men, one
of whom was supposed to be an Indian,
suddenly came upon the herd, and com
menced to "round up" the horses.
" Hound up" is a herdsman's phrase,
and means driving the horses together,
and, In doing so, the horses walk or run
around and around in a circle, and are
thus more easily driven away. One of
these men approached a boy, 14 years of
age, and the only person in sight, and
Jokingly asked to see his revolver. The
boy said he guessed not, and Btepped
back. The man then attempted to get
the revolver, but the boy was too quick
for him, and instead of getting the re
volver the man got a bullet in his breast
and fell to the earth. In the meantime
another of the herders, hearing that
something unusual was going on, hast
ened to the scene. The three robbers
became alarmed and fled without taking
the herd of horses. The man and boy
then approached, rather cautiously, the
man lying on the ground, but they soon
found that he was dead. Nebraska Ex.
A Revengeful Camel.
We find this Eastern story illustrat
ing the camel's malignity and passion
notwithstanding bis patience and good
service wnen wen treated : On one oc
cassion a camel-driver, from the expres
sion of Its eye, saw that there was mis
chief in it, and kept a sharp watch for
some days. On night before he retired
to rest, be left his cloak spread over the
wooden saddle of the camel outside the
tent. During the night the camel ap
proached the cloak, and, believing that
its master was fast asleep under it, lay
down and rolled itself backward and
forward over the cloak; the saddle broke
under its weight, and the animal was
evidently much pleased at what it
thought was the cracking and breaking
of its master's bones. After a time it
arose, and looking with contentment on
the havoo It had caused retired from the
spot. Next morning the driver, who
had heard all that the camel had done,
presented himself to the animal. The
disappointed camel was in such a rage
at seeing its master safe and well that it
died.

PRAYER.
' To say my prayers Is not to pro jr
Unless 1 mean the words I say (
Unless I think to whom I speak,
And with my heart Ills favor seek.
"In prayer wis speak to God above.
Wo seek the blessed Saviour's love
We ask for pardon for onr sin,
And grace to keep us pure within.
"But oh, if I am found to smile,
Or play, or look about a while,
Or think vain thoughts,tbe Lord will see
And how can lie be pleased with me t
" Then, let me, when I try to pray.
Not only mind the words I say,
But let me strive with earnest care,
To have my heart go with my prayer."
CONSCIENCE.
Conscience Is sometimes regarded and"
spoken of as a separate and distinct
principle in the mind, placed there to
warn us when we do wrong, and to ap
prove what Is right. Hence It Is called
God's vicegerent an Inward monitor,
and various other names expressing lt
use and its claims. This view of con
science, It must be remembered, is only
a figure of speech, neither telling us
what conscience really 1b, nor how it op
erates, nor giving help to enable us to
employ those means which may enable
conscience to act most correctly and use
fully. The truth Is that conscience Is not
distinct principle, or something separate
from the mind, but is nothing more
than the mind or understanding Itself
acting in a particular manner, just as
judgment 1b really the, mind judging,
memory is the mind remembering, per
ceptions is the mind perceiving. ' 'So
conscience Is really the mind acting ha a
particular manner, passing judgment
on the actions or affections of the indi
vidual himself, according to some re
ceived standard of right and wrong ;
and to the mind so in action the name
of conscience is applied. ,
' Another mistaken opinion about cotr
sclence, it Is necessary to notice. Some
times It is spoken of as a law of action,!
Itself pointing out what is right as dis
tinguished from that which Is wrong.;
But conscience Is not a law. It is more
like a judge. And as a Judge does noty
make law, but only declares or expounds
what is law, so does conscience, barlngr
already an outward standard of right
and wrong, to go by, compare a man's
own action with it, and pronounce a de
cision of right or wrong, according to
their agreement with or contrariety to.
the same.
Now the Importance of these correo
tlons or cautious will be evident. Every
one is prone to plead conscience when,
wishing to defend some line of conduct.
But this plea Is valid only when con
science is really brought into exercise,
and when the standard by which con
science makes Its judgment is on t be
side of truth, Justice and right.
A Lawyer's Opinion of the Bible.
In a letter to Mr. B. A. Hinsdale,
General Garfield wrote In November,
1878, the following interesting incident:.
" Last evening I called on Judge Black
r. f TT1 . TTni. n a -. .1 .1 1.1.
UV bUO XJUUCIV 11UUDQ, NUU 1UUUU Hills'
with a Bible in his hands. He said : I
don't know any one who has properly
appreciated the parables of Jesus. I do
not believe that the man ever lived who
could have written any one of them,
even the least of them. They are un
like anything In literature or philosophy
in their spirit, purpose or character. IT
they were all that Jesus had left os, tbey
would be conclusive proofs of his divin
ity.' What do you think of thisV"
Think of it 'i It is a most admirable ex
presslon from a man of great acumen,
perhaps the first constitutional lawyer
of his time, and a man whose finely
trained intellect recognizes at one t he
Incomparable beauty and merit of' the
Saviour's words. It is the testimony of
one who knows the force and meaning,
of testimony to the divinity of Jesus,,
judged only by his own teachings.
A Missionary's Persuasiveness.
A Constantinople correspondent tells
the following incident In the life of Rev.
Dr. Parsons, the American missionary
who was robbed and murdered recently
by nomad Turks, while he was carrying
succor to the starving people living near
the Sea of Marmora :
" Some years ago Mr. Parsons, riding
alone, unarmed and with nothing of:
value about him save a small package of
Bibles and Testaments, was stopped by
three desperadoes, who commanded biro
to disburse in their favor.
" I have no money about me," mildly
remarked the missionary.
"What are you carrying in your pack
age there?" roughly asked one of the
men.
" Only good books," was the answer ;
and taking oae Bible out, by dint of ex
horting and talking these hardened
criminals were persuaded to purchase
and pay for a Bible apiece, they leaving
money with him whom they had in
tended stripping of all he had. This Is
but an Instance of his courage and gentleness.
