By order of Court li. -McCL IRON PRISON DISCIPLINE. "At the British convict station on the Island of Mauritius," said a gentleman much of whoso life has been passed in examining and comparing the various prison systems of the world, "the most relentless discipline I have seen any where is maintained. This, to a great extent, is necessary, for it would he difficult to find a more vicious and depraved set of prisoners. Hanging seems to be almost abandoned there, and it is not uncommon for a man to be sentenced to forty years' imprisonment.

Of course they rarely live out these sentences, for the climate of the Mauritius, unhealthy in the most favorable circumstances, becomes unendurable under the merciless rigor of prison life. The island, as you know, belongs to Great Britain, and is situated on the eastern coast of Africa, a little below the equator. It is intensely hot, and there are not a great many Europeans there but every night about fifteen hundred colored prisoners are locked up in the jail- During the day most of them work in chain gangs, sweeping the town of Mauritius. They do it well, but a pitiful and degrading spectacle is afforded by lines of a strong, able-bodied men, loaded down with iron chains oil the legs and found the waist, or dragging ponderous iron balls after them, toiling through the streets. "The rations are inferior to the prison diet of this country, and, as far as I know, to that of any other part of the world.

For breakfast they get a quarter of a pound of black bread and as much water as they want. For breakfast they get a quarter of a pound of black bread and as much water as they want. For dinner, about a pint of boiled rice with a spoonful of curry and abundance of water. For supper, the black bread once more and a liberal supply of water. among the sugar plantations of the Mauritius, is unknown.

I never heard of another escape hem-? effected. "I said that hanging was very uncommon iu the Mauritius. But it is sometimes resorted to, as in the case of the murder uf a white man, and a hangman is maintained on the island. This official ought himself to have been hanged years ago, having been convicted of locking his wife, his mother-in- law, two sisters-in-law and two children iu a room, and suffocating them all with the fumes of charcoal. He was sentenced to fifty years' imprisonment, but was liberated on condition of his becoming town hangman.

JULIE'S REWARD. Julio A FEW "IICWS." How much happier life might be if minds could be trained to forget past troubles. How hard it is to avoid listening and liking to listen to a scandal about our neighbor. How tame life would be without troubles and difficulties to overcome. How few value or cultivate a good pair of legs and lungs.

How the old arc forgotten bv the young. How unfortunc that so many of the aged should make themselves unattractive and even repulsive to the young. How strong we feel when we have never been sick.

At night, before going into his cell, every man has to strip himself, and the keeper examines his clothes for concealed weapons or contraband articles of any kind. The prisoners have also to open their mouths to show that they have nothing objectionable there. Each cell is locked separately, and then a long iron bar fastens all together.

On Sundays the prisoners are and have their hair cropped as close as the scissors will reach. "Of course, against this relentless discipline there are occasional uprisings. To take care of the convicts about 150 guards are employed. Of these some arc white and some colored, but the head keepers are all white, and, for the most part, soldiers who have served the terms for which they enlisted. They are armed with carbines and short bayonets.

Once, when the convicts managed to organize and broke into open revolt in the prison yard, it was a short-lived rebellion. The guards, trained to act rapidly and in concert, shot them down like mad dogs and then charged them with the bayonets. The rebels were quickly subdued, and after that were ruled, if possible, more rigorously than before.

Once when I was in the jail a convict at dingier time protested that his allowance 'of rice was not as large as the regulations inquired. It was measured at once, and found to be a little over the proper quantity.

His dinner was taken away from him, one of the most powerful of the keepers seized him, and he was kicked and beaten until, bruised bleeding, and almost insensible, he was pitched head first into his cell. The guards had general instructions not to wait for orders, but on the first sign of revolt to fire. "One of the convicts, I remember, was a cripple. His lower limbs were paralyzed and he moved along in a sitting posture with the aid of his hands. He was served for a forty years' sentence for a peculiarly atrocious wife murder.

This apparently helpless brute absolutely managed to efleet his escape in open daylight, after he had been imprisoned for about twenty Owing to his crippled condition, he did not work with the chain gangs, but inside the prison walls, and one night, when locking-tip hour arrived, his cell was found to be empty; A fruitless search was kept up for a week or more, but nothing was ever heard of him.

How little good we do when we are rich. How contrary the eccentric seems to one who thinks for him or herself.

Emilton was an orphan. Eighteen years of a sad sorrowful life had been hers, the last six spent in an orphanage. Thus Julie became an inmate of Mrs. house, with her needle for her sole support. Industrious, economical, and ever alert to obtain work, she managed to dress neatly though plainly, and to pay her board regularly as the week ended Making no intimates, she worked on keeping soul and body together, with no hope beyond the present, no future to look for, only the struggle till death comes as a relief from toifaiid misery.

On the top floor of the dingy house, or, rather, in the attic-there was a poor, thinly-clad, beut old man, who often looked at Julio as she passed the open door of the room where she worked, for she lived by getting from various shops to do in her own room. And she, when she his bent form and wan face, ofteu gazed at him with pity, wandering if he had no'onc to care for him, no one to love, no one to mourn him when he passed away. One day he was passing, to go out, when she saw a wide rip in the threadbare coat which he always wore. "Please, sir," she said," "do not take it ill of me to speak, but your coat is torn in the back. If you "will sit down a moment and take it off I will mend it, so you will not be ashamed of it in the street." "Thank you, dear, you are very good.

But I am poor, and "Oh, sir, I don't want any pay. Please let me mend it, for pleasure." He took it off and sat down, ami with deft fingers she soon hud that rent and others stitched up neatly. Meanwhile he asked her name and got as much of her history as he- could. When the work was done he thanked her kindly, and told her she would never regret her kindness to a poor friendless old man. A few days passed on and then came a surprise.

A postman left a letter for her. On Escorted respectfully and politely the young lawyer, Julie went at once to the office of Mr. Graham. There she found the will, as indicated, and learned from Mr. Graham the solicitor of the eccentricold gentleman that the real estate devised to her w-s even more valuable than the cash and securities left her.

MOTIIER KNOW. Walking along one of the streets of Boston, last evening, we met two platuly -dressed boys carrying the basket of clothes which their mother had washed. Both were smoking. As we said, "Good evening, boys," they both put down the basket and took their cigars from their mouths. "We have a boy about yonr age," addressing the elder, "and fond of boys." Their faces brightened.

"We should feel badly to have him siiokcasyou are doing, because we think it would weaken his mind and his body, and you know the mothers depend upon their boys for very much this world. How much does your cigars cost you "Three couts, and I smoke three a so we are "And that would make over thirty dollars a year, which would buy clothes or books.

W. Gordon, the ex- Confederate, recently made an address in memory of Garfield before the Circuit Court at Memphis, in which he said: "I had rather possess the emotion, the culture, the oratory and the genius of Garfield than all the bloodstained laurels that ever Csesar tore from the livid brows of fallen kings, or all the jewels that ever Hannibal stripped from the frozen fingers of his slaughtered knights. The wisdom, moderation and reform foreshadowed in his brief administration were daily widening his influence and popularity especially with the people of the and we hoped that he was hastening the day when we could all feel and say we have but one sky, one one Union, one country and one Prc4- dent." household now called to the White House has no lady presiding over it. President Arthur lost hS wife a year ago last January. He has two a boy of 17 named after his father, but called Allen by the family, the other a girl of 11, named Nellie.

These, with the servants constitute the household. The President has one brother, Major Wm. Arthur, of the regular army. He has three married sisters. Of Mrs.

Marv McElroy, of Albany, has spent much time at his house, and has looked as much after his household affairs as she could. It is likely if the cares of her own family will permit, Mrs. McElroy will most probably be the lady who will preside at the White opening it, a five dollar note dropped at her feet. In the letter, written in a crumped hand, were these Ko othcr'clue to the doner. Julie hadn't the remotest idea who could have sent her this money.

But it was there a blessed reality, when work was scarce. She took it, thought of the poor, feeble man upstairs, who seemed to be growing weaker day by day, and went out and bought him a bottle of wine, and some fruit, and took them to him, keeping but a single orange for herself. He seemed to wonder at this kindness, and to be pained at her spending money for him, but she candidly told him what she had received in the letter, and that she felt she could please jjeavcn and her unknown friend no better than in sharing her good fortune with one so old and feeble. "God will reward you for this, young lady, and that right speedily," he said. A few days after, missing the old man's step in the passage, Julie went up to his room to see if he was ill.

She was shocked when she pushed open the door, far there was no reply to her knock, to see his face, ghastly and white, showing the appearance of death. The landlady and others were speedily alarmed and soon the roam was filled with inmates of the house. "Since I was eight, five years and Tommy, who is nine has smoked for a year," "Does.your father smoke if he has the habit there is little use for precept, usually." "He is dead." "And what docs your mother say "My mother," said the boy, with a downcast look, "she don't know I smoke."
