I went upto one middle aged man, whose powerful physique ve warrant of ancient prowess, and, with liberty of the keeper, asked him a few questions. “Tam,” he said in answer, ‘forty-two, a native of Ireland, and have been in America thirty years; came here from New York under sentence of ten years, for burglary; had been a stevedore; was able to do any work easily, and was considered a strong man; had been in the shoe shop for about ear, when I began to be dizzy headed, with pains in my back; had been used to noise before coming here; seemed to come on me all at once; could not keep my hands quiet, they trembled and revented my working; do not find any relief ere; have been in the hospital, but medicine is not what T want; I want alr and relief from thia living tomb; I am dying, sir, dying, and no power on earth can eave me but the Governor? Tam willing to serve out my time and work if I could, but I cannot control these nerves, and I feel that it will end now in the asylum or in the Avusunn, August 20, 1870. Hot, wtensecly hot, as it is in every place where sweltering homanity can flee from ‘the direct Piercing rays of the spotted sun—for we are assured that there are spots upon that flaming orb, and we must believe it, for astronomers have said it, and one, so report goes, has burned out his eyes in endeavoring to see it—hot, | say, ae it is with unlimited space at command iu which to move and be, what cannot imagination do for this Place, untreed, unsheltered, unbreored, the very centre of concentrated carbonization’! . In the shoe shop the pegs throw out jots of amoke an they are driven into the crumbling leather, avd the quick revolving machinery glistens with a phos- phorescent lastre, while the unfortunste humanity eliminated from haman soelety by @ chronic dis- regard of human rights seem gradually loosening their hold upon this world, like candles dipped in hot water. While altting upon his raised platform the governor of the room—a martyr to his sense of duty and his daily #tipend—sleepily looks out upon his busy hive, the baton of protection half fallen from his grasp, and his revolver neglected and forgotten. Fortunately we are relieved in this place from the sight of woman spinning the woof that shall cover her shortcomings, and with no vicarious sacrifice working out her relief from the penalties of bro- ken law. A sense of justice saves us from over- much pity, and no reminder of «the sweet delights that we have received from the other sex rises up to make our pity bardensome or harrow our feel- ings with unavailing regrets. Other shops offer equal chances for moralizing, ont we will fram the shoe fty to other portions of this penal caravan- sary, and endeavor to draw some instruction, if no consolation, from its rugged recesses. The entrance to the prison is uot majestic, al- thongh from its front can be seen the face of Cop- per John, the mythical god who looks down from the centre pinnacle upon the unfortunates who tarry bencath his rale. It is stated as a fact that the prisoners who have lived under the stern rule of this metallic governor no sooner are discharged than they turn at the gate and look anxiously at the face of their fron-hearted tyrant, It ia not stated that they receive any particular consolation from this, but it is certain that they move away sstisfled, aud this probably ostablishes the fact that the prisoners are not good judges of art. The wide steps that lead into the main build- ing, typical of the broad and straight road in which many travel, surmounted, the central: hell is reached, from either side of which doors open into the private rooms of the Inspectors and into the public room where prisoners are receipted for, orders for rations given out and the other business of the institution transacted. At the end of the hall is the large door through which the prisoner enters to commence his new life. Once shut the man is looked at carefully by each keeper, another door opens and shuts, and the last hope of liberty is limited to a drain on the namismatical ambition of a reckless keeper, both of which have succeeded, and will again, for once a man takes his life in his hand he is a mns- ter of his fate. Seldom, however, has snocess crowned the efforts of the brave in this institution, though ft is something wonderful to an outsider thet this should be so, for, as in other places, po- litical necessity has rolled up numbers upon nam- bers of patriotic watchers until they are almost in a majority, and would seem to doubt each other's efficiency. Tho present inspectors claim great reductions, and propose to still further econo- mize, but, quod vult Deus, the people have suf- fered long, and we have proverbial authority for saying that it makes them stroug to suffer, 1." The poor fellow clasped his hands and bowed his head. It was no made case; it was as surely the advance of death as though the death rattle Was already sprong. Another younger man was choking. “I can’t stand it, sir,” he sald feel everynight as though the cell in which 'T sleep was about to crashin upon me, and instead of sleep I find myaett adding to my terror with dreams, so that I wake to find myself struggling atthe door to open it and flee, bing Ge ver: Pp kind to me, and would let mo sleep here if could, but my dreams torture me and I cannot. Of course this is mania, but it is none the less interesting from {ts separation from our life and its experiences.’’ FEEDING. The monotonous life is broken three times daily by the weloome summons to eat, and the prisoners erg into close files, as close as they can walk, and headed by some one called the captain, specially noted for his staid behavior and capa- city, march in sqnads of fifty or thereabouts to the dining hall. Here upon long benches, before deal tables, they are set down and served. Walk- ing through the room before the dining utensils were removed I noticed that the sonp howls were not entirely emptied, and here and there a part of & potatoe ora Hees of bread indicated that the State was more liberal than the prisoners’ stomachs were capacious, or else that the quantity was in advance of the quality, ‘This latter was not per- ceptible, however, for everything looked whole- some, and so far as the odor went was 80. Asthe prisoners sit at table they are carefully counted, and if corrget it is so indicated by a card flung out from the keeper's desk in one corner; if not correct the doors are shut and the sie searched; if the lost sheep are not then found, the prisoners are remanded to their cells and thorough search made. Everything being found in order the captain puts himself . sition at head, the body is made up and snakelike the squad move away to work. ‘The arrangements for cooking the food are upon & most extensive scale and the oven is a work of art. It consists of a large circular vault some twenty feet in diameter, in which is a huge wheel that can be made to revolve ; from this wheel de- yea six swing shelves, upon which the bread is aked, the shelves béing located at a slip door phar the. whole length of the vault, each shelf as it is loaded being turned up and the next one coming in place. ie oven will bake 120 loaves, weighing about twenty pounds each, and is of so good qnality that our aristocratic Gevernor is said to have remarked upon behold- ing st, and in memoriam of his early days at Sing Sing, ‘‘I would rather have that bread and good milk than the best dinner ever cooked.” As this remark was made after the close of the Legisla- ture it was dove in cool blood and may mean something. I would respectfully call the atten- tion of the democracy to it. ‘It is proper to say in this connection that under the care and atten- tion of Mr. J. Marshall Guion, the storekeeper of the prison, the expense for rations has been de- creased nearly twenty-five per cent, and that a atill greater reduction is confidently expected. fg MEDICAL. The hospital is under the care of a skilful titioner, one well qualified by ex moe to tis charge of the restive and tricky patients that come under his care—a philosopher who be- lieves that the results of medicine can be best obtained from every attainable means of cure, 80 that on warm afternoons in the early summer he sends a portion of his patients to sit in the sun, believing, as he witily says, that its invigorating rays ay bring forth a crop of morals as well as improved health, Of course feigned diseases are prevalent, and one is related of a man who claimed that he was blind. Every means was taken to discover the frand, for all were of opinion that it was a fraud. A steel point was carefully adjusted, so that it could notreach bi d te whereas the word of a politician, like the virtue of os Drea te fellow aa humanity, weakens with every assveration of | out and the test applied.

Every teat was exhausted with like result, and as a last resort the chap was taken ont of the prison under a strong guard to a bridge that some twenty feet above the water crosses a creek running by the ison walls, Properly placed, word was given, “March forward ten steps.” The marching was done; it brought him within two feet of the bridge's edge.

Once a year the Governor, with the inspectros, visits the prisons, and at those times the prison- ers are allowed a chauce to’ explain to him their wrongs and their wants, Something like a hun- dred present their complaints upon each visiting day; and this fatigue, together with the exhila- rating fare furnished to his Excellency by the prison officers, tesis to the utmost that official's owers of endurance. Mr. Hoffman, by reason of is judicial training, is able to give better satis- faction than preceding governors to the prison- ers, and by reason of his convivial accowplish- ments is in great demand by his entertainers, It is noticeable that the long, involved stories that used to be palmed of on the preceding Governor are now discussed, and plain mat- ter of fact stdtements have taken their place. One thing that astonishes an outsider is that so many acknowledge the justice of their sentence, laying to whiskey, hard luck and mania their troubles. These visits are something alter the “swinging round the circle” order, and might be called executive vacations. PRISON CONTRACTS, ee this subject so much has been said, so much written, that it is hard to strike out any new features. The faci is that at Auburn three bandred and fifty men are under a shoe contract, at the rate of forty cents per day; that they are able mea; are watched carefully by men ap- pointed by the State and by the contractors; that they are liable to severe puniehment for neglect of nfer circle, in fall position to appreciate the care that the State takes of its wayward sons, and as curiosity is always stronge® than grief, so mach so that the man to be hanged always looka with inquiring eye at the spaffold from which he is about to take his leap in the dark, the pris- oner is sure to study with latest gaze tha various rooms and halls through which he passes. Passing the second door, we see some eighteen steps, the echoes of the prisoner’s feet growing heavier, heavier as he descends,until fairly planted ponn the stone floor from which spying the first row of cells, in whose scant accommodations he is here- after to swelter and suffer, aud the various work- shops in which he is to earn forty or fifty cents a day for the State. Now is ho fairly at home— caught, charged, convicted, caged. The world ia done with him for a while, and we for ever. THE CELLS. | The cells are very neatly arranged, the halls whitewashed often and sprinkled with sawdust, making them look exceptionaliy cool and whole- some, and although visitors after a half minute inspection of the interior are satisfied with the closeness of its accommodation, they are equally mpressed that better arrangements could not be made with the space at command. The internal arrangement of the cells beyond the bunk fa left to the ee ts, and here crop ont some of the most singular idiosyncrasies of character imagi- nable, In one cell was a small rack intended to hoid some dozen volumes, and on ft, arranged in a style that illustrated their degree of service, lay atew hooks; of course, the Bible held the Qrst place, if anywhere a consolation surely here; then Thackeray's “Newcomes,”’ a Patent Office Tapers, the last resort of moutal starvation; “Travels in the Holy Land,’ &c. - The books one | duty.

Most of the men content themselves with the daily round of prison life, aud if they imagine of anything else it is closely locked in their owa bosoms, making no show and asking no sympathy. The doors of the cells are sunk back from the front of tie brick partitions that divide them about eighteen inches, and the lock that fastens the door when shut is oa the front surface of this par- tition. Yet so observing and skilful ave these men that cases have occurred where the man, by @ curtous combinktion of wires, has succeeded in turaing<this lock and opening the deor. When we consider that the openings in the doors are made oy bare of irou one inch in width, placed Fm rena leaviag openings therefor but one inch square, the marvellous acuteness of this can be solewnat appreciated. The Keeper say that the men cultivate but one sense—observation— not generally, but to eseape, aad that no matter how closely watched no man ever goes out with a secret, He leaves it to some other; so that when a bold man fs sent there he is at once posted upon graspiog charac er that is fostered by this con- tract system? Can it be done away ‘with? The prison officers say not, say thatit would quadruple their labors and that the State would not realize asmucn as now. This is their own testimony; know the failings of our common humanity and the temptations of the place. Let us respect their frankness if we may not admire their in- tegrit, v PECTORS AND THE PRISON ASSOCIATION. © ‘able jealousy exists between the ia- spectors and the assocfation presided over by Dr. Wines, 1h former claiming that ‘the latter interfere” and disarrange the rules and general government of the prisons by un- warranted in’erference, hey say that they are responsible for- whatever they do to the people and do not need the prompting of an irresponsi- ble body to incive them to do their duty. it is doubiful if this misunderstanding inures to the benetit of the prisoners, although by holding out aremedy against excessive abuse of authority it may.
