A New Use for Patent Clothes Pins—Ap- plying Them to the Ears of Re- fractory Prisoners. The reformation of the criminal classes confined in our prisons should always be the great incentive of those having suthority over them, and where a word of kindness or a friendly act can accomplish | anything to make the ciminal better, to awaken in his calloused heart a longing to change his mode of Ufe, to rise out of the mire of sin and above the stain that attaches to the convict's garb, it should be uttered or cheerfully tendered, instead of HARSHNESS AND CRUELTY. How often have incidents been qnoted to show that even the most hardened criminal is capable of receiving advice and acting upon it when it is ten- dered by one whose manner shows that he or she Jeels for the misfortunes of this class of persons, The most thoroughly informed, who have made prison discipline a study, concede that gentle at- tentions and kindness can do more with most offenders than brusqueness and cruelty, but rarely in this city is this theory carried into every practice. On the contrary, we too often hear of brutalities at Sing Sing, on the schoo! ship Merenry and Randall’s Island, that indicate a laxity of discl- Pline and an utter disregard of WHAT IS DUE FROM A KEEPER to the he!pless victims in his custody. The revelations made in the case of young Dunn, who killed a keeper in the House of Refuge for long Dontinued cruelties, and the religious INTOLERANCE OF POPE JONES, Have called the attention of the public to our reformatory institutions, which many believe de- grade and harden the inmates in vice rather than ‘inducing them to reform. Rumors of irregularities, of oppressions and of | * Insults to the defenceless criminals in other insti- tutions have been rife at times, and many believe that a czre/ul inspection of them would show that great reforms are needed; that the same brutali+ ties would be shown to prevail more or less in the « Yn ‘: on Blackwell's island, is donee With a view of estertaining any facts on the subject & reporter of the Herat wes deputed to go to the fsland, and, without divulging his motive, learn the actual condition of the prisoners, their treatment, &c., from them. This is a task of great dificulty, owing to the damaging revelations made in the trial of Dunn, which has put the keepers of the prisons on their good behavior, and the fact that the Commissioners of Charities and Correction are AFRAID TO ALLOW VISITORS TO CONVERSE with inmates, and carefully prevent all intercourse, Nevertheless the reporter paid several visits to the {sland incognito, and ade an inspection of the Work- house, but was cautiously shadowed by the keepers, 80 that there was but little opportunity to ascertain from the inmates their treatment. He, however, was informed by one woman Who has been there for some weeks of some OPPRESSIONS IN THE FEMALE DEPARTMENT that should be remedicd. “Are you treated well here?’ asked the reporter. “Pretty well, considering the hard lives many of us have led before we got into the embraces of ‘Black Mariay” “Do you get enongh to eat?” “Whist! there is the head man, ¥.. Kean, watch- Ing us; watt till he passes,” said the woman, as she disappeared in a cell. After the warden had passed, casting suspicions glances at the reporter, and being reassured by the Circumstance that a gentleman dressed in style, with hands encased in tight-fitting kids, and with- out any note book or pencil, could not be a reporter, the woman came out and said to a lady who was taken by the reporter specially to throw of suspi- cion and gain an entrance to the woman’s. ward:— “There is usually enough to eat, sich as it is; but @rrah musha! fat stwY it is, It ism’t Mt for a pig, except the bread.” “What is the usual fare—breakfast for instance?” “Bread, which is good and cooked on the Island, and coffee, The coffee is horrible,” and putting her hand to her stomach, “whin Lattempt to swallow It | IT COMES RIGUT UP AGAIN! Sometimes they give us ‘nigger molasses,’ to Tender the meal eatable.” “What do you have for dinner?” “A chunk of pread and soup.” “What is the soup made of?” “The devil and the cooks omy knows. It looks ike corn meal, water and onions boiled together into a hodge-potge.” “Do you get uny meat with it?” “Sometimes a littie rump beef boiled into scraps, ‘It's what they flavor the soup wid.’ “What do you receive for supper?” “Bread and the black coffee, we calls ‘TAR DROPS.’ Sometimes they gives us some mush besides, just for a change, ye see, eh! “What do you do with the sick? “They're taken out and sent to the hospital. They are all fetched down from the wards to the doctor's room to be examined, and many of them fan scarcely walk that far.” “But if a woman is so si she can't get up to go to the doctor's roo.n, winit then?” ‘Begorrah, there is no hilp for her; she must get Them’s the rules, and must be obeyed. THEY'LL FIX HER IF SHB DON'T.” “How fix her?” “Force her out of bed or punish her.” “Who are those women locked in the celis?? “Thim’s women sint from here to work as ser- vants at Bilivue and other institutions who don't like it, and refuse to work. They lock ‘em up as vunishment, all in one cil “And if they still refuse?" “Then they go to THE DARK CILL, and are put on bread and water till they do.’ “Show us the dark cell.” ‘The woman led the way to a whitewashed cell, Into which the reporter entered; but the atmo- sphere, even with the door’ open, was 80 oppressive that he could remain but an instant.

While doing so he detected 4 ‘fenale prisoner conversing with the HERALD ropresenta- tive, and instantly cailed her away in 2 grossly in- | saldng manner, After descending, © the place where tie stood, i AN IMPERIAL MONARCT, AS/IT WERE, he gave her asevere reprimand, and pushed her viontly im the direction of her quarters.

I Was sent up three days ago for three months, but HERE | AM GOING HOME.” He hesitated a moment, and the reporter asked :— “But how are the others treated?” The young man smiled knowingly, and casting a furtive giance around responded :-» “We can't talk here; come aside, many about.” bal retired to the rear of the boat, when he con- tinued :— “As T have already said, 1 was sent up for three montis; but am Ta ENNAN DISCHARQED ME Tee Lea FR Xoinpfaine JOU BEC”) gers “What were you jail for???

AFTER THEM REPORTERS LEAVE the turnkey will take you up and you'll be fetched face to face wit the magistrate ——" Here the discharged man detected the reporter laughing, and, coming to a sudden stop, exclaimed with a profane preface :— “You've never been in a police court and don’t know this, eh?” “Never!” again protested the reporter; “but go on. Tam just getting interested.” “Well,” said the man, “when you get before the Alderman he'll discharge you, and sometimes ex- pect you to WAIT AROUND THE CORNER and treat him and his crowd. Sometimes your let- ter don’t reach, aud if you are known to the Judge he goes through the same operation and you are discharged after the Court closes, (You must be a cursed 1001 of a reporter if you haven't learned this, the released threw in as a parenthesis.) But that's not here or there. Perhaps you haven*t got into the way of it.

Lf a man ts fool enough to talk back When they work him too hard they'll put him in a ‘k cell and give him nothing but bread and wa- ter—that is, if he’s no friends to ask for gentle treat- it; if he has, he can do about, as he likes," “How is the food? Whatis thé biil of fare?” “Very bad. In the morning we are assembled in the hall, ched to the dining rooms, where there are eating benches. As you cnter the room an old woman pulis from her basket a “hunk” ot bread, which she hands to each man. We go in and find a pan of rye coffee on the beiich and some molasses for our bread. ‘that is all we have for breakiasi." “What for dinner? Any meat? “We get soup; | don’t know whatit ts made of, but it appears to be meal with some kind of grecns shaken into it, It isso thin that YOU COULD LOOK THROUGH IT from here and count the cobblestones in the streets of Greenpoint, Then they give us a smail piece of bread and a little slice of the meat with which the a was boiled. That is ail.’ “What do you get for supper?’ “Bread and cotfee, ‘the coffee is aa black and filthy as 1 ever saw.

They give us no knives nor forks, They treat some of the prisoners disgracefully—inhu- manly, Last Sunday | saw an old fellow who is kept at work in the stone yard, who has NO SHOES NOR SOCKS, and they won't give him anything to feet from the sharp edges of the broken stone. His feet are tn consequence all torn and lacerated, and he is unable to buy shoes or get put to work somewhere else,”? “What is his name? “T don't know, but I'll tell you how you can find out. His wife Keeps a stand corner of Pearl and Chatham strect, and he asked me when coming away to see her and get her to send him some shoes and socks,”’ Here the young man saw a friend on the boat and he withdrew, the conversation ending. The reporter turned to a man who iad come up and listened to a portion of the interview, and sus. ting that he might be another ' released risoner, he was asked if that was his experience? The man replied, “I was in the hospital, but to-day I took dinner in the Workhouse, and I neither got any meat nor saw any given to the prisoners; I know nothing more of the management of the prison; in the hospital they use us pretty well; some of the fellers in the Work- house told me they are abused like yg Mister, can't you give me @ ten cent bit to ride home when I get over” Another rough looking fellow was found on the boat and interviewed, je dented that he had been @ prisoner, said he was @ member of the old aay i ninth regiment, and had gone up to see a frien There are too Have —, or —, It's infernal stuff, rotect his this, some scraps of very inferior meat | constijuted the dinner, which lasted about half an ! in the paus after they had retired from the benches | | and on his forehead he wore two stic’ that the inst!’ation work the men from five in the inorning un} five in the evening, giving them only about phos ‘OR FIFTREN MINUTES FOR DINNER, whieh ir, mean fare; that the coffee is dumped into t'4 same pans from which the prisoners take their soup, and that NO KNIVES NOR FORKS ARE GIVEN th” prisoners lest they will use them on their Keepers. This man was an impecunious fel- WW, who would not be shook off until he had bor- ‘Towed twenty cents to ride home to Morrisania, On the Minnahanonck were « number of women prisoners, who are employed in cleaning the ves- sel. One of them reported that the females who live on that ferryboat sre well treated, and have privileges not accorded to others, amoug which is THE BOON OF GOLNG ASHORE when they lay up at night on the New York side of the river. She confirmed the statements of other risonerg us to the character of the food given them in the Workhouse, remarking, in her quaint way, “Its a craind of bread, frightened with molasses, and soup made of cabbage strained through water and grease.” “PALLY-HO” THE GRINDER'S OPINION, Tt is not at ail unlikely that some of the returned “dvunks and disorderlies,” as the police term them, May exaggerate in thei vriptions of life on the island, and knowing th: 'y were aware that they were conversing witi the representative of a great newspaper like the HERALD, they would be prompted to misrepresent the actual condition there, the reporter thought it advisabie to win their confidence by kindness and sinall contributions of Money to supply their immediate wants, rather than to uncover his reaiobject. This was the course Ppuraved with all, with the exception of the young politician who was 80 gi ful to Commissioner brennan, The same policy was carried out in con- veising with some of ‘1)'8 OLD HABITUES OP THE ISLAND, that the reporter's long attendance at the public courts of the city enable him to recognive daily on the streets of the city. One of these is a tall Irish. an, Whose appearance shows him to have been a man of fine physique before rum sowed_ in his con- Stitaiion the deadly seeds of disease, Tliis man is well known east side character, who is only aown by the name of “Tally-ho, the Grinder,” from tue fact tat when on one of his periodical’ sprees he roams about the streets yelling “flly-ho!” fle stands over six fect in his shoes, and can swallow more fusil of! than any four east side topers, Tal- ly-ho is not always drunk, however. After a chronic spree of some weeks, that usually ends by a visit to the Island, he comes out and tramps to the coun- try, where he will work industriously for a shor period and the rn to the city for ANOT’ BOUT AT THE RARS.!? Sometimes when he finds himself in need of a bath, and anxious to sober up, he will repair to a satcon and request the barkeeper to turn on the water and give hima baptism from the hose, This 1s usually the turning point in Tally-no’s spree, and, sobered by a drenching from head to fot, he will make a hee-line for Westchester county for work, A gentlemon familiar with the antecedents of this celebrity says he was an expert poacher on the domain of Lord Parlarington, in Iveland, and four years ago he was sent out to this country at the expense of the Irish Lord, who felt that his game | would be safer by putting the Atlantic between it | and Patrick Delany, alias “Taily-ho, the Grinder.” On Wednesday morning, about six o'clock, in the Seventeenth ward, the reporter observed this fel- low in front of a saloon receiving his nsual Croton Waiting until to his complete satisfaction, the chronic drunkard started up Virst avenue and was overhauled by the who apart to him kindly, and invited him a at a street fountain, “Well, Tally-ho, drank again? going to quit?” “That's hard to When are you I've finished this spree and am going to Morrisania now, If I stay here I'l! get pulled up before Scott. and sent to the Island, ye know, and that’s not the thing, my honey.”” “No. IL suppose you do not like the Island, often have you been there ¥"” “Dunno exactly; perhaps twenty times,” “How did they treat you?” “Bully, old fellow; they gave me a bath, new clothes and physicked the gin out of me every time. I tell ye it docs an old blister like me good to go up there once tn a while.” “But are there no acts of cruelty practised there ? Do vai! not punislithe prisoners too severely some- times 7 “Oh, yes; but, ye see, I always do just as they want me to, and when them keepers commence growling and cursing at me I just lauzh at ’em, and sing ‘Taily-ho, the Grinder.’ That vuts ‘em in a good humor, and they let up on me, as long as I | ‘bey the rules. The other fellerg don’ get treated | that way always. Some of them, ye gee, DON'T NOW THE ROPES, and, bein’s théy're inén of edereation and proud, when the turnkey daimns 'em they'll turn and gi him chin masic back, That's bad, and their goose ig boiled at once. That makes the turnkey mad, | and he'll pick and pick at that feller till he gets him so mad he does something to violate the rules, when they'll hustle him into a dark cell, that when I were last up Tom Howell named - - ‘THE PORTICO OF HELIA’ Them dark cells ‘ll take the wind out of a feller, Then they'll put him-on bread anid water and place in his cell m an oyster can or slop bucket. One time when I was there, over a year ago, g feller they put in the cell tried to knock the door dawn and mide such a racket it brought the Keeper. -They tied his hands and feet together, so that he could stand up, but couldn't use ‘em agin the door. But his dander was up, and with his back he pounded on the door harder ’an ever, and shook the whole corridor, Af- ter threatening and cursing him they found it no use, 80 they went away, got some of these leather cards, with small teeth in them, which they use to | card wool out in the country, and, taking off that feller’s breeches, they plumped it dn his hips aud tied it fast there. Then they left, when the feller, not knowing but it w: A STRENGTHENING PLASTER THEY’D PUT ON HIM, turned around and give the door a hell of acilp with his hips that mace it shake on its hinges; but ‘ou better believe he yelled and cussed, for the eeth of the stutl went deep into his flesh, You can bet the drinks he didn’t punch that door any more, But they kept him in all night. Next morning, when they opened the door, he was insensible, an the doctor sent him to the hospital, where I heered he died; but that mayn’t be so, you know, as them fellers up there do some tall fying. Ill tell you what I did see one day myself, as true as I'm a bum- mer. A youngster from the Sixth ward gave one of the turnkeys some sass for BEING SWEET ON HIS GIRL, that used to come down to the edge of the men’s workshop and chat with him on the landing. She was a pretty girl from Wooster street, and the turnkey was jealous of Jimmy and used to abuse him. ‘ell, Jimmy talked back to him, when away he 8, and comes hack with a pair of bracelets and two of them patent clothéspins, He pet the bracelets on Jimmy, and I watched to see what the rooster was goin’ to do with the clothespins. Pretty soon he got behind Jimmy, and doublin’ up his ears, put one of them clothespins on each ear. Them clothespins held his ears as tight 4s 4 fur- tle’s grip, and Jiminy gave up the girl after four hours’ agony. I've seen the turnkey kiss that girl often atter that,’ THE HERALD DETECTIVE BAMLY SOLD. Coming over on the Mirnahanonck on Tuesday the reporter's notice was attycted to a man sitting in the stern of the steamer, wio, he was satisfied, must be a discharged prison He wore shockin; bad clothes, a dirty and slonched hat that looked as ifit had been ina pig trovgh for a month; his skin appeared tanned by loug exposure to the sun, x plasters Edging up to him the reporter dropped fifty cents into his hand, with the remar! . “There, old fellow, you doubticss will want some Money when vou get across to refresh the inner man. You've been on the Island, I sec.” The man looked up with a peculiar leer and with a Hoosier nt responded ;— Wal, stranger, I’ve had u leetle experience over there. Thank ye forthe stamps. [I've not had a | drink for @ month, and I'll smile over in First avenue.” He was drawn into conversation as to the treat. ment of the prisoners, and recited tn his quaint Way @ harrowiug tale of outrages and oppression, of whipping and bucking and gagging ot prisoners, giving names and dates in some cases, and when the reporter left him at the dock he felt that he had Made a good investment of the fifty cents, and would embody tie information here had not a sub- sequent encounter with his strange acquaintance | blasted his hopes badly. The following day, while standing at the Charity Hospital! pier, a fastilonably dressed gentleman, with cream-colored kids, a gok headed cane anda fashionable and glossy siik hat and diagonal coat, stepped up to him, and, reaching out his hand to the reporter, remarked :— “Much obliged for the loan, sir.’’ As he uttered the words he withdrew his hand and left filty cents in the reporter's hand, ‘What does this mean? I never saw you before." Yes you did. You gave it to we yesterday going down upon the boat.

The man laughed and answered:—“Well, often enough to enable me to travel anywhere on the Island without pass and see anybody I have a ‘mind to,” “That's strange; Icame ermed with the speciai pass of the Commissioners, that reads as follows :— The Commissioners desire that the officers of the De- artment should afford every facility to Mr. friends for the examination and visiting of the several 11 stitutions under their charge.

And, although I had shown it to Mr. Abell. “hen I left the office, to look abont the grounds, he , fused permission for me to leave the oMece.” The man smiled and remarked, “All you had to do was to put fifty cents or a dollar in the hands of one of the prisoners they keep about the ofice to receive donations, I tell you them fellows are a set of politicians put in there to make money. Tve given them money often and I have no trouble. If you pay for it you can send WHISKEY OR ANYTHING ELSE\TO A PRISONER. It is the same as Sing Sing, About two years ago an old man who had @ gon at Sing Sing wanted to send him some deliercics, He gave them to me, with $40. I went up, asked the keeper to | allow me to take in some oranges, lemons, tobacco and money. He was very indignant.

When he threw ft off he tried to catch It, but it fell upon the floor, The keeper saw it, and, rushing upon him several times, CUT HIM WITH A RATTAN, Hod he treated me so I would have killed him if I could, ‘The above are afew merely of the developments made by the HeraLp reporter.
