Those to wbona a priaoe atmosphere ia a new sensation, and who Are often horrified and distressed at their position, must be chilled and discouraged on reading it. Charity would turn way her eyea from it and exclaim: How many who read those words are or' should objects of oar sympathy! But Sing Sing knows neither charity nor sympathy. Every 'out of its inmates is, to the callous eye of authority, a law-breaker and nothing else. The majority belong to tbe very worst class of criminal', and tbe unfortunate minority suffer in consequence. 8ing King, as a State prison, labors under erious and irremediable disadvantages, eonie of them natural.

It is the worst located and worst arranged place of incarceration that human brain ever planned. Stand-ring directly on tbe bank of tbe Hudson, only a short ran from the town of Sing Sing, -with the Hudson Iiirrr Railroad in a catting immediately in front of it; surrounded, mot by prison walls, but by bills, quarries, er reeks, caves andgorges.lt present to the aronvict continual temptation to attempt to escape. This is not only a bad thing for tbe convict, but entails a vast expenditure the State in the shape of aala-B ies for a small army of keepers ud guards, while it frequently results Id this shooting down of tbe prisoners. Pria- oners have sometimes sprung on to a passing rfreigbt-train. It is only a few months since at numerous gang gut away by 1 jumping on "board a propeller which came up to tbe dock.

nd ateaming away for the Jersey woods. Some of these are still Inng helpless in tbe Lospital ward of tbe prison one of them -with two bullets in his body. The prison ia altogether too unprotected, and on too large scale for effective government and Twelve hundred men. and one hundred women are often confined there. Such a 'Lody of convicts is unwieldly and unman-ageable.

The authorities themselves complain of tbe excessive numbers committed to their charge, and point to tbe generally lad character of tbe prisoners as necessitating a very stringent regime, in order to enable them to preserve proper discipline. To guard tbe 1.1 SO' prisoners, the average number last year, costs for officers' salaries $49,3 30 a year. The total ordinary prison expenditure is $284,226 92, including one "miscellaneous," of $18,368 43. Tbis last amount ia far too large to be so generalized. Compare these figures with those of tbe report of the Albany Penitentiary, issned -a few days ago.

There the number of prisoners has averaged 514 through the year. Tbe total expenditure for their guardian-atuip. clothing, maintenance, was 43. (no miscellaneous,) as against Sing Sing for tbe same items. Though the number of convicts at Sing Sing ia only about two and a quarter times as cmany those at Albany, the ordinary extendi ture is more than five and a half times las much, and yet Sing Sing, with all its force of guardians, cannot prevent the prisoners from constantly escaping.

True, a large number of them are recaptured but in twenty-Jive years only one prisoner has scaped from the Albany Penitentiary. The prison buildings at Sing Sing stand on lilled-iu ground.jutting out into the river.and form' three side of a square, tbe riverside being open. Tbe prison- for males, which "Comprises tbe entire front, is 484 feet long, 41 feet wide, and 50 feet high. It contains 1.191 colls, built- in six tiers, each cell being 7 feet long and 3 feet 6 inches wide. The prison is sometimes so crowded that the have- to place two prisoners in a -cell Tbis is a very bad arrangement, and has led to mere attempts at escape than anything else, from the opportunity of plotting which it affords.

The prison lor females. a 'separata building on the -other aide of tbe railroad, has 119 cells. At present the inmates of the prison number 1.074 men and 117 women. During last year 473 new prisoners found their way to tbe men's prison. Among them were 1 actor, 1 -dentist.

1 lawyer, 1 broker. teachers. 1 civil engineer. 70 accountants and clerks, (the report does not state how many of them received starvation 'wages, but of tbe officials assured me that many a young clerk comas there who is driven to robbing his employer by tbe inability to live on the pittance paid him as salary.) 5 merchants, 1 preacher. female musician, 1 publisher, xbysieiane, 1 sculptor.

1 dsouty sheriff. 29 no 3 thieves." and 1 "loafer." These last, I presume, are little bits of pleasantry, either on tbe part of the prisoners or of the agent. Mr. Russell. Tbe names of tbe well-known and publicly-convicted Tammany thieves axe conspicuous by their absence from the list ef prisoners.

In the-main square, running parallel with the male prison, are the kitchens and dining-LalL I saw the men at dinner. All dine together; and their close-cut hair, shaven faces, wit a week's growth on them, and striped serge many them wearing the repulsive-looking iron col' lar and crown for punishment, present a emrioos hut very vnpleaelng coy eTeriZ. It was Friday, and therefore, fish day. The men seemed to eat heartily, though, judging from the uncooked fish saw in tbe kitchen, they all must have been woefully thirsty a the afternoon drew on. However, as Mr.

Waller tells us that it ia lolly to qnarrel about' horse-radish wbsn Jovff got beef, I sappoM the prisonen don't mind the excessive saltneas of their dinner so long as a bocks of drinking water stands in each workshop. Still, they might little leu of tbe saltpetre. The bread appeared to he of better quality than the fish. It is of the second grade of flour. So soon as dinner is over the various about twsntr-flv men to a gang, march with tbe lock-step from the dming-Aall to the workshops, which are built in rows parallel with the north and eouth wings, to resume their dally labor.

As one of the gangs passed me the keeper pointed out aee Jack Coctcb. notorious counterfeiter. He ia about fifty-fire fears of age. and has thirty-four years of his life in prison. t.

saddlery, hardware, malle able iron, cabinet-making, and marble and limestone quarrying' branches of industry prison. The labor i jtbe shops is tractors at forty are tbe principal carried oa at tbe of tbe prisoners let oat to eon- peats a day for each prisoner; but as his cost per day ia 62 cents, he entails a daily expenditure on tbe State Treasury of ZH cent dead lose. Only 500 male prisoners are employed by the eon-tractors. At least 8(50 snore would be available, if the contractors would take them, adding one hundred dollars a day, thirty thousand dollars a year, to tbe income of the prison. Tbe contracts, Tiowerer, which were msde formerly for five years, now expire every year; and business men are apt to fight ahy of putting Pp costly machinery, and going to other heavy expenses on a contract which they are by no means sure of getting renewed.

All the shops are provided with the latest mechanical inventions for saving labor, jln the office of one of the contractors, acting as clerk, I saw Chauncet Johnson, (the great bank-burglar, who has spent half bis life in different prisons. lie took me In with a truly professional glance in an instant, and kept hie face turned away. In tbe hardware aaddlery-sbop I encountered Van Eden, who gave the detectives so much trouble with bis bond forgeries. He is a fairj squarely-built man, of medium height, and does not betray any phrenological evidences of bis propensity for stealing. One hundred prisoners are engaged at present in working the quarries, which lie in the side of the bill, sloping up from tbe railroad track.

The sales of material raised last year realized $98,044 99. This year the earnings Jf tbe quarries will be considerably less, in consequence of tbe Legislature having omitted to make the usual and necessary appropriation for carrying on the work. Tbe quarries were only fully worked during the first four months of the year. Stni, the sgent thinks that wbile the total earnings of tbe prison will consequently be lees, the total expenditure will be decreased at least $30,000. Of the other prisoners, one hundred land fifty are old, or physically incapable of bard labor, and are employed in the halls and in cleaning cells, making beds, and other light occupations.

From seventy to more are cripples, or sick in the hospital the rest are all nnprof-itably employed. Among the old men is a colored man named Wm. Jackson, who is ninetv-seven years of age. He has been in tbe prison for twenty-eight years, on a life sentence for burglary, The old gentleman ia bale for his years, and has the use of all bis faculties, and. at his advanced age, says be would be glad of his release from prison, that he might see the World once more.

The female prison has at present 117 inmates. They are all, wijth tbe exception of those who do the cleaning, cooking, washing and ironing, employed in making those thin Summer striped and brown holland jackets which are as sure a sign of Summer as tbe lately-arrived swallow. But their labor is not very remunerative, the wholesale price of these articles, especially prison work, being very trifling. The contractors only pay 22) cents a day for each prisoner's labor. Consequently there is always a deficiency to be provided for at the end of the year.

Last year the deficiency amounted to $13,233 18. It will surprise some people to learn that two female prisoners escaped from the prison in There are seven women under sentence for life six for murder, and one for manslaughter in the first degree. Their looks do not lead one to suppose them eapable of such crimes. Many of tbe larceny prisoners have much more unprepossessing countenances, with one notable exception. In the sewing-room a girl of unusually attractive appearance a beautiful face, elegant) figure, soft brown hair and delicate complexion.

In spite of ber unoouth prison dress, she looked as though she had been born and bred among tbe tlite of society onf of nature's noblewomen. Yes." replied tbe official, in answer to my whispered remarks on her personal appearance and beauty, ahe ia a very pretty girl. There's po doubt of that. But." he added with an emphasis, she's a very bad one e. war.

ir." ne continued, that girl is a married woman, and the' mother of three little children. Bat she comes of a famQv of thieves. This is her second term of imprisonment here That woman." pointln, to another and older prisoner, "is her mother, also here for the second time. We've got the father and husband over in the' male prison." What a family record! I could not resist the temptation of scanning narrowly this girl's features, but the more I did so the more perplexed I became. I could scarcely believe, but for such convincing; testimony, that so ingenuous and fair a face could belong to a brazened and incorrigible thief.

But there is little doubt of tbe fact. The girl herself does not deny it. I visited the hospital, a large, airy, lofty and well-lighted apartment on tbe first floor of tbe south wing. The doctor's office and apothecary's shop are dlose at hand. Tbe sick prisoners are apparently allowed some few desirable privileges, such as talking and playing harmless gamea to wile away the time.

I asked to be permitted to aee be wounds of a poor fellow who had been badly abot in two places, consequently lost tbe use of one ol hie legs. The wounds, as far as my unprofessional eye could Judge, were clean and healthy, while the bandages were as fresh and niee as those ia use in ordinary hospitals. This is itj should be. It was not br any means a pleasant, though a self-imposed task but I have heard so much of neglect and careless treatment in prison hospitals that I was determined to see for myself. Of course, as tojthe surgical treatment I can aay nothing.

Not more than eight or ten patienta were in the hospital. There hare not been more than twenty-fire in the hospital at one tinje during the year. This speaks well tor the healthiness of the prison and its-location especially when the previous bad habits of many of ths prisoners, and tbe fact that some of tbem are 111 when tbey arrive, are taken into consideration. The prison chapel is I over tbe hospital. The service of tbe Dutch Reformed Church ia performed every 8uiday morning, and the Chaplain also occasionally visits each prisoner in his cell.

Arrangements have also been made for Catholio prisonen receiving-tbe ministrations of the! Church. There ia. however, one paragraph in tbe last report of tbe Chaplain to the Inspectors which demand attention. He eae By a statuts ef ths Lscialatars think each eoBTictta sattttedto a Bibls and hymn-bo; that tius is aa a wis audi most ooaamsadable provlsioa eeaaei. I think.

Thar bjkva doubtless plenty of Bibles for Africa and Asis bat Bene, apparently, for the dwellers in American prisons, who need tbem as much as any unconverted heathen 10.000 miles away. I The prison library contains about five thousand volumes, embracing moral, religious, biographical and ecientifle Works. At specified times the various gangs are marcned to tbe charge of their keepers, and are allowed to select such books as strike their fancy.

Tbey are also allowed the use of weekly papers and periodicals, all of which are carefully selected by tbe Chaplain. Ia addition to his other duties, tbe Chaplain exercises super-Vision over all tbe correspondence of the prisoners. By law tbey are allowed to write to their friends once in three months. Their friends, on sn average, write to them about twice as often. This examination of all let-tiers passing to and fro may possibly be necessary; but it has this great drawback that it tends to prevent a prisoner from informing his friends in the event of his suffering ill-usage at the hands of his keeper.

And now for the chamber of horrors." Passing through a small csfresol in the hospital wing, I found myself ip that relic of barbaric ages, the prison punishment room, or, as I prefer to term it, the tot tare chamber. As I glanced hurriedly around at the various implements of legalized cruelty, I could almost fancy I saw Phynse. minus his ears, or the Jesuit garb and shaven crown of some long-dead Conductor of the Inquisition, There are no thumb-screws, no racks but there are other appliances relatively as brutal, considering the enlightenment of tbe age, and it is no aVcret that tbey are often and vigorously qsed. There are five modes of punishment ip vogue in the prison the dark cell," the 1 ball and chain," the collar and crown," the back handcuff," and the thumb pnl-Ify." the last the most ingenious torture of tbe whole collection. Tbe ball and chain are attached to prisoners who have attempted to escape, by a band of iron riveted round tbe bjg, just above tbe ankle, This' may be a ncoessary precaution to prevent thorn from repeating the -attempt, but it is unnecessarily cruel to keep them on the prisoners when l(cked in their cells, as tbeir weight and inconvenience must render tbem most undesirable bed-fellows, and likely to interfere with the amount of rest the wearers require to enable them to go through the next day's labor.

Tbe collar and crown" is put on for trivial offenses, such as talking. It is composed of a circular band of iron, which is fasteued round the neck vrith a padlock, from which five or six iron bars spring and join over the scalp, forming a sort of rude crown. These instruments vary in weight from four to seven pounds, i They are constantly in nee. I saw several of tbe prisoners wearing them, both in the dining-hall and inj the workshops. It does not require a (very lively imagination to conceive the distress and annoyance of having to stoop for ten hours 'over the shop bench with seven ponnds of iron dragging at the nape of tbe neck and weighing down the head, or the dexterity required at night to pad and stuft the machine artistically with dirty stockings, pocket-handkerchiefs or anything that cornea to band, in order that the wretched prisoner may rest bis bead on his pillow without the iron grinding into the skin.

The other punishments are all for refractory or violent prisoners. The dark cell is an ordinary cell, without a stick of furniture, which is closed by a solid iron, ungraded door. The floor is covered with sawdust. As the door closed on me I could fully appreciate the horrible situation of the Egyptians of old, when they were visited with the plague of darkness tnat might be felt." Btt the dark cell is. in many cases, a punishment very detrimental to the health of those who sufler- it- Prisoners of the degraded class a class to which a large majority of the prisoners at Sing 8ing belong are desperately obstinate, and will sufler considerably before rendering submission.

Many a one bas passed two or thfee weeks, and even longer, in the dark cels at Sing Sing. But the exclusion of light means exclusion of air and stoppage of all ventilation a fearful deprivation. Add, moreover, any medical man will vouch that light is in itself very necessary to health. Many doctors declare that a sun-bath is almost as useful in its way as a cold water bath. There must, of course, be vigorous punishments for breaches against prison discipline, but the most advisable forma have not yet been hit upon.

Next Spring tbe International Prison Convention assembles in London. Let us hope that this matter of punishment will receive their most earnest consideration, and that thorough reform will follow. By way of delicately leading the readers of jtbe Timks up to tbe horrors of tbe pulley," I will first tell tbem something about the a back handcuff." Along the wall of the punishment-room are five stout hooks driven into the wall about four feet from the ground. When a prisoner refuses obedience his hands are put in handcuffs fastened behind him. To the connecting link a strong ring is attached, and this ring is hoisted on to one of the books on the wall, forefng the head and shoulders forward, and drawing up the arms behind and tbe lower part of the body into a cramped and painful posture.

The keeper told me that they once bad a prisoner wbo bore this punishment for six hours and a half before be would give in and agree to behave himself. But the most diabolical of all these instruments of torture is the "thumb pulley;" for its power of inflicting agony far surpasses all the others pat together. I do not hesitate to say that its use in an American or any other prison is aa outrage on Christian humanity, and a burning disgrace to the boasted civilization of ths; nineteenth Century. I can speak frepi personal experience. I I waa so horrified at the keeper's explanation of the mode of working It that I turned round and reo nested him to try it on me.

The fellow wsi rather taken aback, and snrgested that it would not be pleasant in. fact, that it wai "rather painful." Rather painful! It tbe most excruciating; agony. I replied. "That is the very reason why I want to Mr it." He somewhat reluctantly consented, and the operation of torture began. Hs produced about a foot of rery stoat whipcord, with a slip-knot at either end, and putting my thumbs in the loops, drew the knot taut below the first joint.

The cord was then hnng on a hook attached to the end of a rope which dangled from a pulley in the ceiling, and the preparations were complete. Oa imy giving tbe word ready." a brawny-armed convict seized the other end of tbe rope and quickly hoisted me from my feet till i I could with difficulty touch the floor with the tips of my toes; the whole weight of my body, of course, dragging on my thumbs, i I was literally suspended from those two small portions of the human frame. I hung there fori about fire eeeonds, after which tbe pain became insupportable, and I requested to be let down. In those few seconds I experienced quite enough to assure me what sons be tbe iodascrihahU MfferJaa- otavnnt creature suspended for even a minute. And yet i the keeper told that -a prisoner once endured this hellish torture for five minutes and a half "without fainting.

It seamed to me that my thambe and the tough sinews on the inside of the wrist were being drawn out. I fait that ray arms must leave tbe ahoulder sockets, and that the muscles of my back would be literally torn away if I were not let down immediately. I found when my thumbs were released from the slip-knots that there were evident signs that the cord had almost buried itelf in tbe flesh. As indentation over an eighth of an inch deep encircled each thumb. It was of a transparent white color.

Them came a band slightly discolored, and then a band of red. The flesh did not altogether regain its nsruni appearance on one thumb for some time after. And yet I was tbe victim of this engine of torture for only five seconds! Many tender-hearted and humane persons mav be inclined to comfort themselves with the hope that the infliction of the punishment of the pulley isof rare occurrence. Let me undeceive them by quoting from tbe last official report of the Inspectors of 8tate Prisons. Instable No.

14. under the beading, "Exhibit of Punishments During the Year," the fxs lowing item appears: "Pullied 208 Omitting Sundays, this total gives an average of four prisoners puliied" every weett through tbe rear. Tbst such brutality is practiced at Sing Sing, Auburn and Clinton is not the fault of the prison authorities, but of ogr prison system. Tbe law, though forbidding the shower-bath, allows these punishtnente to be inflicted at discretion and in this case permission is indirectly an ordinance, for all these forms of punishment were discussed at the time of the passage of the act abolishing the use of the shower-bath in the State Prisons. A criminal is a human being, even when lie is a refractory criminal and every consideration of common humanity cries out alond against bis being subjected to such boinble punishment.

The Chinamen are once more la trouble, yesterday's Qactta having published a law which reduces tbem to the condition of slavea. Those who arrived after tbe year 1860 must lease them selves out again, working for tbe planter at tlx a month, when it is known that the poorest negro receives tlT monthly. Ia my next shall give a fuller account of this law.

1 QPASIMOPQ. Hew Two Callleraia Bore Killed a The following story, narrating how two boys lolled a panther and wo is, is told the Sacramento Uatow by a subscriber, residing la Colusa County, i i Permit me to make known to you an Incident which transpired duriar the Suoiarer months at the north fork of Grindstone, la Colusa County. The particulars are relatea to me by KowcaofT, a gentleman residing ta the vlolaity of Me wvlile. upon whose veracity ye can safely rely. He says two young mea.

with Whom he Is personally acquainted, started to the mountains, ss la customary, with a band of sheep. One waa named Orlando Bcrbis. sged lourteen years, snd tbe other Cm as. Hull, aged eighteen. After retting thoroughly settled in tbeir cabin and the sheep under good control, tbey started off one bright morn Ins troot fishing, having with them a sbeep-oog aad a Jack-knife, the latter In tbe possession of young He IX.

and tbe only weapon of defense In ease ot aa attack from any wild animals. -Tbey bad not gone far when they came to aa ola. mess glows log. and were about to step oa It. when out spranr a lar re ahe-panther aad her two cabs.

Young Bprris hissed the sheep-dor on the panther. Sbe immediately seised the dog by tbe head aod was punishing him In a frightful manner when young Bdrris came to the rescue, eatehia tbe panther by tbe tall aad eodeavenoa to pall her off the dog. In case tbe panther let go her bold It would have been sure death to the younc adventurer. Just In the nick of time tousrHcll. seeing ibe danger his eoan ponton was la.

drew hie taek-antfe and raahed to the scene ot conflict. Running hta hand down over tbe panther until he felt the pulsatiens of the heart, he raised the knife, aad. with unerring aim. drove It straight into the panther's heart. The animal fell dead between them.

Thus, by tbe sueress accident, the lives ef the two yoang heroes were soared. A few days afterward they hunted up the two eaba waieh escaped uunna: tne ngns wtte no oia one, ana killed tbem also.

Suaday Dec 34. 19T1 A fearful accident happened at llagasdot, a small village oa the Moatioeilo RaOroadTaorth of this place, Friday morning, by which a UtUe airl. six years old. met a horrible death, aad hoc mother fatal injuries. A Mrs.

Glacier, a widow, and her daughter iJUJR, lived ia the family af Mr. Levi g. Tax Ettrr, at Huguenot. As the family sat -de wa to breakfast yesterday asora-ing, the Uttie girl having been left la the sitting room, tbey were startled by piercing shrieks. Mr.

Tar Ettrr snd Mrs. Glacier ran at once to the mttlag-room. aad discovered the little girl enveloped in flames, aad aa English ban-dog, belonging to Mr. Tar Eme.i, tearing her burning raiments off her with his paws and teeth. Be had already taken over half of her elethiag off.

aad it Is the opinion of Mr. Varttb that had he been left alone he would have saved the little girl's Ufa. But Mrs. GLAomv erased at the sight, rushed forward and clasped her child to her boeem. aad held her close, thus baffling the efforts which the faithful dog made, although singed and burned dreadfully bimself.

to tear off the burning clothing. Mrs. Gummer could not be made to release her child until her own clothing was on Are is many places, when the two were torn apart, and the flames upon the mother extinguished by the dog tearing off her clothing, aa he had endeavored to do tor the child. Tbe little girl was burned almost to a crisp. Her screams aod cries were terrible, and ahe begged Mr.

Var Enifn to kill ber. A physician was summoned soon as possible, but he could reader no aid, and tbe little girl llntered in the most intense agony until 3 o'clock Saturday morning, -dshen she died, losing consciousness a few minutes before death. Mrs. Gi.aoibr "is terribly burned, and lies in a critical condition. Very little hope is entertained of her recovery.

Tbe dog that exhibited more than human sagacity in Its efforts tp save the child, bad been her constant companion, having been raised with her. and taught to watch over her. Since tne burial of tbe child occurred, bo wanders from room to room as If searching for her, uttering a plaintive whine expressive of his grief. He takes no food, and It la believed he win pine to death. Kaarmrae Leather, -C A consignment of 7.000 salted kangaroo tkius was received in San Francisco, several months since, from Australia, and purchased by parties who propose to convert them Into leather.

Tbe skins are now being tanned at a tannery located on tbe beach opposite Terba Bnena Island, on tbe northern outskirts of Oak land. Tbs skin of the kanraroo is auite thin. but exceedingly tough, and when tanned it to leather is very pliable and soft, wearing a Ions-time without cracking, aad turning water better than caif skin. Tanned allmutr akina from Mexico and Central America are a common article in the San Francisco market, and are used to a considerable extent In manufacturing boots where strength and capacity to resist wster are more desired than a taney fit or clearance ef appearance, but kangaroo is emphatically a new sensation in the leather line.
