Skeriff Agnew and Mis Miany Boarders. : What It Costs to Diet a Num- ber of Men. Experiences in the Old and New Bridewell. Palks with Restavrant-Keepers---A Private Family. Tho Sheriff’s Profits, Cne of the reeults of the quarrel between Mr. Hesing and Sheriff Agnew, growing out of the removal cf Peter Hand, was the calling of public attention te the alleged Jorge profits made by the Sher-ff in the feeding of prisoners confined in tho County Jail. Tho statement was made in the German pspers that Mr. Agnew was maxing aclecr profit of from $40 to €60 per day off of - these unfortunates. So mach was eaid about the mattér, that the subject was referred to tho Commitiee on Jail and Jail Accounts of the County Board, which, since the 10th of Feb- rusry, now neatly two months, bas been busied, with spparently very little resnit, in investigating the facts, preparatory to submitting a report to the Commissioners. The investigation, however, bss been little better than & farce, The committeemen hare met and taiked, have heard wha: the Sheriff had to 533, and ‘hey have done nothing in the way of ob- taizing informatioa from experts as to what the real oxpenge of feeding a number of prisoners would be. Tney may, perbapa, have consulted their own experiences, and have found that it cost each one of them individually more than 35 cents asday per Lead to feed his own family. Further than thst they have not gone. For the purpose of siding them in their investiga- ‘ions—T'ug Tarsuse has recently taken the County Board and the various iustitutions of which it baa charge under ita special protection and tutelage—the following statistical informa- tion bas been colecied, and is respectfally sub- mitted for their benefit and consideration. : OTHER pats, Prior to the adoption of the new Constitution, the Sheriff of Cook County was allowed 50 cents perday for every prisoner who was unable to furnish lus own subsistence; that is to sar, s msn who bad not the money, or whose friends had not the money, wherewith to feed him, applied to the Sheriff for food, and it was furnished him, the expense being paid by tho county. While tho nnmber of prisoners which weed tobe confined m the old Jail was much masiler than the number now in the new County Building, yet it has never been denied that the successive Sheriffs—Mr, Nelson, Mr. ‘Hesing, Mr. Bradley, or Mr. Fisher—made far more money out of this basiness than they did from the reguiar receipts of their office. In fact, it may be safely xesumed that a person who bas to feed, or contracts to feed, s given number of men, will manage to make money ont of the job, no matter how email the sum allowed him perman. Such is buman ingenuity thai, if only 5 cents por day was the sum allowed, the contractor would suc- cee feeding the prisoners on corn-meal, in sania io cent a day off of each one of them. ‘UNDER THE NEW LAW in relation to jaits the provision of the old stat- ute that only those shall be fed by the county sho cannot feed themselves is left out. and the Bheruff gets 85 cents aday for every prisoner, whetber he be fed by the county or not, Here is, perhaps, where he may get a legitimste profit, for the proportion of persons who sre furnished with food by their friends, or who prefer to obtan it outside, rather than live on the indifferent fare of the Jeil is quite large. Even if the Sherif! were paid only what it actually cost to feed each man, he would derive quite a little income from this source. At the time attention was first caliod to this subject, early in February, Mr. Agnew was interviewed on it, and then stated that he belicved he made s profit of 8 CENTS PER Dar en each man, he snd ex-Sheriff Bradloy esti- mating the ‘average number of prisoners tu:ough the year at from 80 to 100 a day. They slso stated that Dr. Miller, when Buperintendent of Pyblic Charities, had report- td that the cost of feeding was 27 cents per day. Mr. Agnew calculated his cet profit to be about 3 acay. ow LET US BEE. A prisoner in the County Jail is entitled to three meals a day. His breakfast consists of breed and coffee, his dinner of meat or soup vnth two potatocs and breed, and his supper of bread and water. Let us put it in tabalsr form: Bread (three loaves). Catfos (if good)... ‘This estimate is a little bigh as regards the items of coffee and meat. Acupof good Java toilee, without milk or sugar, costs about 13¢ vents.’ Take Rio, or any South American coffee, and the cost is about half that. Take the trash furnished to the Yoor-House for coffee, and itis Still lve, When eoup is furnished the prisoners, it generally contains a little chunk of meat of 2 ourices, and a few grains of rice, the whole costing about 3 cents. Puatung it, however, in the best light, the Sheriff pays 1634 cents per man, sad receives 95, making a profit of 134 cente. There are now 150 prisoners in the Jail. His profits, therefore, on the above estimate are $27.75 a day, or $194.25 per week, or $10,101 a year. Is there any pereon in Cook County who ‘will perform the duties of the Sheriff's office for nothing, provided he can feed the prisoners at 5 cents per day ? Tt may strike some people ag unreasonable, but yet it is true that there are MANY THOUSAND PERSONS IN CHICAGO, Jaboring men and laboring women, who live bet- ter than the prisoners in the County Jail, and who by reason of the fact that they are worlaog require more food, who do not expend ou the average more than 35 cents per day for the food which they actually ext, ‘Take a case, which is certainly not an excap- tional ove. There is a family consisting of four adulte, including a servant, and a child which gats about ag.much as a grown person. The weokly expenses for provisions, gro- Series, wages, fuel, light, water, etc., exclusive of taxes, repairs on bouse, replacing furniture, broken crockery, etc., are £20 a week. It fol- lows, therefore, that the avorage daily expenses of oach of thoas five individuals are alittle over 57 centsaday. Now, look at the matter a little more closely, From the $20 take 6% for ser- Yante’ wages. €1 for lighting, $3 for miscellane- eue odds and ends, inclaaing butter, water-tax, etc., and there will be jeft $11.

When.men were in quarters they did not require ca much nourishment aa when in active service and marchiug, the fatigues of the fieid causing s much greater waste of the particies of the body. He thought the saving would ran from 5 to 30 per cent, and that a man could be well fed all the year round for between 13 and 14 conts = day. RESTAURANTS. The proprietor of a ‘25-cent” restaurant was next interviewed, to learn how cheaply he could afford to feed 175 men aday. He was not very quick at figuring the cost, but finally reach- ed the result that he could supply the following bill of fare for $3 a week, or 43 centa a day: Breakfaat—Tes, coffee, milk, sugar, bred, butter, and steak, ‘Innner—Fresh meat, potatoes, bread, butter, and padding. buprer—Tea, bread, butter, steak or mutton. ‘Variation for breakfast and eupper—Stews made upof beef, mutton, etc, which would comecheaper than fresh meat, When asked what he could feed aprisoner for, —the bill of fare peculiar to the jail being spread before him,—he ssid, under s contract for 175 men the year round, he could give them “such grub” for 17 cents a head and make money, if the county continued to supply the fae! and cooking apparatus, and the cook and help could be recruited from the prisoners. The proprictor of another ‘twanty-five-cent restaurant "—s small affair, the owner himself waiting on the customereand brushing thecrumbs off the table with a worn-out blackiag- — was induced .to figure out how cheaply he could feed the same number of men,—piving them good, wholesome ‘grub,"—and make a profit of 25 per cent. The result he reached, which included the profit, was 55 cents esch— the actual cost of the food being about 31 cents. ‘His bill of fare at that rate would be as follows: Breakfast—Beef, oc pork, on poe Pad fish, coffee, sugsr, ‘bread, butter, and po! ter eatce ‘of four mests, potatoes, pio or padding, coffee or tes, bread and butter, ‘Supper—Biecuit, butter, some kind of sauce, meat, potatoce, coffee or Tn answer tos question as to the actual cost of a cup of coffes, be eaid that a pound of Rio at 18 cents wonld make twenty-eight cups .of 00d coffee, but it could be * filled out” to for- v, making the cost of the former, including milk and sugar, about 1 cont, and of the latter in the neighborhood of half a cent. THE OLD BRIDEWELIn Asan otherinstance of thechoapness with which considerable numbers of meu mav be fod, the feeding the prisoners at the old Bridewell may bo cited. At that time the Council bad the entire management of it, appointing the Keeper and al- lowing him go much per day for prisoners’ food. The rate paid that official during the Isat days of the Bridewell’s existence st the corner of Clark and Polk streets was 23 cents perhead, or 73% cents por meal per map, On this rate the Heoper, according to his own ftatement, mado a profit of $1,000 a month, feeding a daily averace of 200 prisoners, or about 16 cents per day off the food of eich prisoner. Prices of provisions shen were abont the samo 2s now and thero is no good reason for any material difference be- tween the cost then and the coat at the preseat time. The cost per day per man is keen to bo about 7 ceuts, based upon the abore figures. ‘There are men with whom the reporter of TaE Turpuse has conversed, who ara well informed on the subject, who say that the present outside cost is from 734 to 73{ gents, and that avout $15 per day can be made by feeding men at 15 cents perdayeach. They would bs perfectly wilhog to take a contract at this rate. ‘THE TRUTH 1S, that the cost of the raw materia! is s very small part of the expense cf living. It ia when that is supplemented by faol and other articles that housekeaning becomes expensive. If any head of aemall family will take the trouble to figure ont just what bis meat, potatoes, bread, and coffea or tea cost him per day, be will be surpris- odat the small amount. And it must be re- membered tbat the Sheriff pars nothiog for wai-~ ters, for deputies attend to that; thathe pays nothing for fuel, since the county furnishea that; that he pays nothing for table-ware, since that also is given him. ‘He has to pay simply for the provisions, which he buys in large quan- tities at wholesale. Ho buvs bread at 8 centea poand, or can if he chooses; his coffees does not cost him over 18 cents ® pound, and perhaps much less; and the beef he uses should not cost him over 8 cents a ponnd—doubtleas not eo much. If the Shoriff were to receive for an average of 190 prisoners a day (and the pre~ sumption is that it will not fall below that) 15 cents per man, he could still make money, and supplement his regular salary by at least ons f. THE GOBLIN TOWER. “T am glad you bave come here,” said the Mar- qnis di Doltono to the young knight, Gaston de Pontaille, as they sat upon the terrace of Boltono Castle, ‘‘Lam glad you have come for many reagons—especially because I love the company of s young and valiant soldier.” Gaston bowed, and a flush of pleasure passed across his brow. “Tho ropbers about here ara very bold, just now. They attacked you, I believe.” “Three of the villains ventured to do so, but { sevt them away with more than they expected.” “Asteelransom. Hs! hal” “Tt is very strange that you are not able to discover their retreat.” “Very—very strange. in avery direction.” “The country is favorable to secrecy,” said Gaston, looking round. It spread faraway around the castle. From the height upon which Boltono stood, the wide plain and the surrounding hills could bo distinguished for a great distance. Hills and crags were near the castle; guilies and paths formed by torrents Isy among them, A river flowed throagh the plain, turbulent and noisy. “Yes, itisa good place for them,” said the m8, in reply to Gaston's exclamation. “«Bat yot I wonder at their hardihood.” “They rob almost every frieud who comes to visit me, unlesaI send my sofdiers to guard them,” said Boltono, bitterly. “This abould be stopped. I wonder that they do not show themselves somewhere.” “Thave dove allthat man can do. Let us forsake this subject for the present, Seoyou yon tower?” Ps “Yes, It is older than the rest of your cas- it not? I have been much interested in “tt is very old and is of Roman construction. We never use it.” < “Never! Why not?” “Tin baunted.” “Haunted?” Gaston was surprised at the seriousness of the Marquis, and out of respect to him he suppressed a rising smile of con- tempt.” “Yea, It has for many Years gone by the nacso of 'The Goblin Tower.'” “+ Why 20?” “Because there are sights to be secn there and sounds tobe heard which are not of this world, Sbueks are heard at the dead of night, and lights gleam from the turrets, All the peasantry tremble, and the nearts of all within the castle quake for fear.” “But have you never entered to see the cane of these things 7” “God forbid that I should scek to know aught, of tho doings of the powers of dark- ness! “They may be done by hands of man, nobie Marquis.” “Impossible! Who would dara ?” “No great obstacle could prevent them if no one ever ventures there.” “Men baye gone there and never returned. In the life of my grandfather there was a le- gend about it, and a saying that whenever the castle was freed from the goblin within, Would be no more robbers without.” “What! have the robbers always been hers ?” ‘All the time that the tover was haunted.” Gaston was silent, and mused for a time. My men haye sought “T wall teil the story,” said tha Marquis; ‘it is not long.

Gaston was not so much awed by the legend as the Marquis. “ “They did well,—those snitors,—and I would do the same for a similar prize.” ‘What! would you venture there? “Noble sir, you have promised to mske me your son-in-law,” said Gaston, with bis ingenu- ‘ons countenance covered by 8 flush of plesxure and confusion, ‘but, I have done nothiog to win the lovely Alvira.

There was a deep gorge in the -Lills behind, and the Roman tower rose abore this, while the other parts of tho extensive caatle lay further from it. Gaston walked to the vergoand Iooked down, The porter bad told him not to venture there—that the people in the castle were afraid of the gobling. who dwelt there. But Gaston despised the idle tale. + Goblins—ha! ha! whats strange mind the Marquis must have not to see that these mys- terious robbers are the goblins and the makers of all chis riot, Bat I must descend and examiue here.” He went down slowly and softly among the bashes which grew thickly onough to hide him from view. At length he was surprised to see a benten path. “ Hai" he cried, this was uever made by goblins. I will follow and see whore it leads.” He descouded carefully, and watched the path to see that none were viewing him. At last the murmar of a brook told _bim that he was at the bottom of the chasm. The path before him took a euddon turn around a rock. Leaning stealtinly over this, he looked forward. Thore was tho base of the goblin to«er, which arose very far on lugh, from its foundations at the bottom of the chasm. There was a small aperture here, 50 hidden by bushes that none but the sharpest and most observant eye could have detected it. Ho went nesrer, snd, hearing nothing, he crawled close to'it. Loosing in he saw steps Which led up. “Now, were this unused, the steps would be covered with grass and moid; but they are smooth and tre used ottea.”” After afew minutes the young knight depart- ed by the same paths and soon stood ia safety upon the top of dechivity, well eatisied with dis expedition. ‘Well, Gaston,” ssid the Marquis, at nighit, “are you stul determined ?” “Lam. Iask only my arms. CanI have the way shown me?” ‘ “Qnce more, Gaston, let me implore you not 10 go.” “1 must go, noble Marquis, for I have said it.” * Retract your words.” «TI oannot—I would not.” “Then I must part with you. I fear I ehall never see you again, I will accompany you to the place.” : ‘The two walked slong a desolate hall extend- ing eatirely through the castle. The night was dark and the wind moaned as they went on. Doors banged and noises wero heard through th ouea, “Those noises do not come from the tower. They are mado by the wind!” said Gaston. ‘Ab! here we are, I suppose.” They paused bofore s msesive oaken door, which the Marquis opened after unlocking. The bolts sounded harsh ss thoy grated back. They entered the room. The light whuch the Marquis heid was fecble, and illuminated it but in part. Tho apartment was large, and the walla were wainscoted with eak, carved in the antique. Chairs of olden form stood around, and a long pls of macstve construction stood in the mid- le. “I will go into yon closet and watch the room. Ican be hidden thera.” “Do so. Do not expose yourself. Do you want the light 2” “No—Oh! no, I will be better in the dark.” He opened the door of an old closet. It was empty. There was an openivg in it, through which any one within could look out to the room. Here Gaston entered. The Marquis de- aaa, locking the door carefully, Gaston aw his sword, and, holding it in bis hand, pre- pared to watch, An old chext stood here in one corner ; upon this he seated himself and waited. The hours peed tediously away, yet he sat in patient si- nce Mataning to avery sound. And these wera of many kinds, which came to his sharpened ears. Low moaning sounded without; the doors, loosened by age, rattled on their hinges ; the heavy, dusty drapery shook and fluttered, ‘There was a faint light in theroom.

The following is related by the Augusts (Me.) Journal: “A young man in the Town of Vas- salboro, in this county, was suffering in the last stages of consumption, tho diseaso which had insiaiously and etealthily brought bim to the verge of the grave. For several weeks he had been entirely prostrate and unable to speak» even to articulate a syllable. He became so op- Pressed for breath that he compelled his at- tendants to rniso the windows in his room, put |. out the fires, and resort to every means to obtain fresh, air. On the 13th mst. the young man died. Friendly hands prepared the poor, emaciated body for the rial; but, just ag tbe attonding friends wore arranging the remains for the casket, there ap- poared unmistakable evidences of returning life in what had seemed to them ao inanimate mass of clay, and it was discovered that tho heart had bogun again its slow-and messared palpitations, the pulse throbbed, and the tena man arose from the doath-sbrouds, opened his mouth, and spoke m clesr and distinct words to those who stood appalled in the death-chamber.

He stood upon an eminence which overlooked a vast and besutifol plain; the magnificent plain stretched farther than his enlarged vision could penetrate, and he described it in language which, to bis moral snditors, eeemed extravagant in the extreme. But the revivified life of the young man Was not to continue long. Before night he again resigned himself to destb.
