On parse the chapel shortly before 10 o’clock, a. m , we found the male prisoners gathered at the penitentiary library for the purpose of exchanging the books taken out the previous bbath for others. These books, we learn from Mr. Thornley, are sought for with great eagercess by the convicts, and indeed the worn and thumbed condition of the volumes show . that they have been in constant use. We trust that the recommendation of the Warden (in bis rt) for the expenditure of a few hun- dred dollars for the purchase of additional books will be carried out. As the convicts re- ceived their books they retired to their seats, and each was soon busy with his volume; the ard mounted upon a raised seat, meantime Tou supervision over them with a watch- ful eye. ‘The male prisoners, black and white, were separated right and left, and the female pris- oners were hidden from view by acloth screen. Tifis screen seems of doubtful utility, serving it would appear only to pique feminine cu- riosity, as it has been pierced with holes in- numerable by fair finger nails, to enable their owners to solace themselves with an occasional pesp at the lords of creation. The services were commenced with prayer hy the chaplain of the institution, Rev. R R. Richards, which was followed by a hymn sung—and well sung by the convict choir. The singing was led and mainly sustained by colored convicts, who entered upon the ser- viees with the same zealous unction which usually characterizes the religious exercises of colored congregations. The white convicts on the other side of the aisle preserved external decorum, but exhib ited at the same time a callous apathy.
