My sealp has always given me trouble, beingcovered with scales, the result of a scrofulous affection. Recentl I was prevailed upon to try Lyon's Kozothlum. The effect was wonderful. Not only was the falling off of the hair arrested, and a new growth or aalr stimulated in its stead, butthesoales were removed from the scalp, which is no longer feverish and uncomfortable, but cool and healthful.

A dispatch from the Hocking Valley says relief for the suffering mfners is coming from ^'wholly unexpected sources," and to substantiate the statement adds that "$150 had been received from cowboys."

The annual report of the State Board of Health in referring to the survey of the county asylums for the poor says:

Although they have no maniac patients, yet in 88 per cent of the asylums restraints are used upon these poor unfortunates. Many of them are cribbed, many tied, others chained, dome in dark cells, others in strong rooms, some fastened to the floor and wallowing in their own filth, others in pens and stables, many confined in strait jackets, and in one asylum for the poor, situated in a county adjoining the capital of the state, an insane woman spends her time in solitary confinement in ti coll or coop of iron. True, the erection of new insane asylums will relievo this distress, but under the care now had this class must suffer ereatly during the time required for the erection of the new hospitals.

This terrible cause of disgrace to the state has existed for many years. It existed many years prior to the action of the legislature authorizing the new asylums, n3 this being the fact there should be measures taken, if possible, at the approaching session of the legislature to ameliorate the condition of these poor unfortunates as much as possible before the new institutions are ready for their reception. The reports from many counties give in detail horrible particulars regarding the treatment, or rather lack of it, of the incurable insane confined at county poor farms. Some of these stories are more harrowing than any told by tlie most graphic writers of fiction, and the existence of this state of affairs should be ended at the very first opportunity, even though extraordinary measures are necessary to that end.

ONE OENTIiBMAN AMONG 'EM.

The Barber Expresses a Decided Opinion to Hi» Surly Sunday Customers. New York Sun.

A number of solemn and discontented looking men sat in a restless row in an uptown barber shop, yesterday, waiting for their customary Sunday morning shave. They were fashionably dressed and surly. The head barber bowed politely to each one as he entered. There seemed to be but one idea among the customers, and that was to discourage any attempts at conversation on the part of the barbers, and so a silenc« overhung the shop, broken only by the sound of the razors as thev scraped the chins of their victims with a noise like escaping steam.

The door flew open, and a young man entered with a rush. He was a sort of a barber-shop young man, and he was on intimate terms with every artist in the place. They smiled as one man when he came in. "How are you, Gus?" he asked, as he poked the tallest and narrowest barber in the ribs plavfully with his cane. "On deck "Betcher life," answered the barber, displaving a grin, and at the same time

executing a back-handed upward stroke' be given by Mr. George Cobb, of Iifdian-

with the razor that nearly lifted his victim out of the chair. "I'm 'way up in sharp minor, I am. I'll be ready to dally with your hide in about two minutes by the clock." "I^et 'er go," said the young man cheerfully, as he threw away his toothpick and began to pare his nails. Then he gazed at his boots with a good deal of approval, and finally rose, shook himself, and remarked confidentially, to the thin barber, "Git onto them pants, Gus."

The barber swept the razor crosswise, and turned from his victim to look at a pair of new trousers of a very loud pattern, which the young man wore proudly on his thin legs. "How much?" he asked cautiously, but with the air of a connoisseur, while the victim sat up in the chair and begun to rub alum on his face tenderly. "Eight plunks, five per cent, off fur cash. What's your idearsof them?" "Well," said the barber slowly, "I can't say I'm dead struck on itm, but still I considers tim verv gentlemanly pants— sort of tony, you know."

There is a good deal of affectation this talk about simplicity of the ceremonies at the inauguration of the president. The pomp and parade of royalty are of course repulsive to the American instinct but this emulation of Jefferson's caprice in riding horseback to the capitol, tying his horse to a tree, taking the oath and riding away, is about as ridiculous as would be aping the customs of royalty. Jefferson "was a great man no doubt but he did not possess all the good taste of his own time and the present period. Things have changed since he was living and the Express is one of those who think that they have not changed for the worse. It is fitting that there be a grand civic display at the inauguration of a president it suits the people of these days that there should be and as Thomas Jefferson can not feel any offense by HO doing, no harm is done. The respect for his memory will not be lessened and the people will enjoy themselves.

This discriminating criticism seemed to please the young man. He bought what ne called a "see-gar" from the proprietor, and smoked it with great satisfaction as he continued to stare at his legs.

Shortly after this the victim slid out of the chair and resigned himself to the brush boy, while the young man looked at the reflection of a discouraged moustache in the mirror and then leaned back in the chair luxuriously. No man was ever more tenderly lathered or humanely shaved than the brisk youth with the new trousers. "I'd like to try an egg shampoo on your skull," said the barber, in the course of his remarks "it's a new caper here, though it'w "been known a good while in other shops. Wili you go it?" "Don't give me any large breezes, Gus. Whoever heard of a negg shampoo?" "Oh, no on the level, you know. I wouldn't put up no jobs on you," said the barber, affectionately. "It's the bestthing in the world for the hair. I often use it on actors, when they have the price, fur to give the hair a silky feelin'. Their hair gets very dry from powder an' wigs an' stuff, an' a negg just makes it like silk. I had a perfessional in here yesterday whose hair was stiff from powder, and he couldn't get his heud olonn. A negg fixed him." "What's the tariff?" "Fifteen cents extra." "Let 'er go."

The barber rubbed the dry hair of his customer briskly a few moments, and then, taking an egg from a jar, broke it, and rubbed it, yoke and all, briskly op the hair. He rubbed vigorously, until it was quite absorbed. The hair was shiny and soft after it, and there was no suggestion of oil. After sprinkling with cologne the hair was dressed, and the young man bade them all a cheerful good-by as he swaggered out of the shop. "He's what I call a gentleman, he i9," remarked Gus. reflectively. "He's allwool an' a yard wide, an' I'm the man what's sayin' it."

With which he looked his fresh victim so hard in the eye that the victim submitted to having his ears lathered with no oth«r protest than a smothered sigh.

PASTOR AND PEOPLE.

Drunkenness the Topic for Consideration in To-Day's Sabbath School Session.

THE 8UNDA.Y SCHOoLi.

Lesson for Oecember 7—SubJect,"DrunkennesB"—Provorbexxlil., 20-35. Those who take delight in attempting to prove that the Bible is authority for the use of intoxicants, that in it can be found sufficient excuse for supporting, by argument and example, the theory that it is not necessary for a man to abstain from drinking, will find in our lesson for to-day little to give them support, little to strengthen their opinion, much to overthrow all their arguments. A careful reading of these seven verses will show any fair-minded person, if he consider one phase of them, that the author ol" them was fully alive to the enormity of the sin of drunkenness, and fully convinced of its awful consequences. What an epitome of the condition of those who are under the ban of this cure of intemperance is found in the twentyninth and thirtieth verses. Woe—by some called here an interjection—and contentions—how common, how almost inseperably connected they are to those who are thus cursed. The word babbling by this translation is synonomous with silliness, but a strict rendering is said to mean "thought." "To whom is there, thought being the translation made instead of "Who hath babbling?" This is interpreted as meaning the sad and melancholy brooding over the condition in which the poor inebriate finds himself. Quoted and preached from and taught to the young as have been the thirty-first and thirty-second verses, they vet may be studied with good effect, may be taught to the child, impressed upon the youth, presented with argumentative force to the man of mature years and goed results alone should flow from their consideration. If those who are thrown in way of temptation would only keep it in mind the thought embodied in the first injunction in this thirty-first verse, "Look not," they would be safer, purer, more sure of being steadfast. It is the first approach of temptation that must be shunned. Yield never so little to a wrong inclination, and where is the man so strong that he is sure he will never yield more than a little?

It has been supposed that the expression, "Thine eyes shall behold strange women," was meant to show how naturally drunken habits may lead to licentious ness but while this may be a true statement of fact as regard the results of drunkenness, it is thought that the second expression of the same verse, "Thine heart shall utter preverse things," explains the former part of the vetse to mean that one in his cups shall utter words and, when persistent in his course, give forth the wild ravings of deliriumtremens. Solomon had always lived among a wine-drinking people and it is clear from this lesson that he had been impressed with the terrible effects of intemperance from actual observation. .In the closing sentence of the last paragraph of our lesson, "I will seek it yet again,' he shows, too, how natural it* was then as now for the victim to partake again and again of that which was surely killing him, to yield to the demands of an appetite that in some cases seemed beyond tne control of the person possessing it.

Whatever may be our individual thought as to the best means of eradicating this terrible evi^ there can be little honest doubt in the mind of any man who makes careful investigation that in the teachings of the Book we are studying, in the influence of the religion of Christ, there will be found aid to the one in the depths of his own sin, strength to resist the temptations that come, assurance that all hope is not yet lost. As a nation we need be on our gard. Whatever statistics show, this is inevitable. Drunkenness is fearfully prevalent among men. For the good of our posterity, for the safety of the home, for the perpetuity of our institutions let us hope that the teachings of our lesson may be more and more carefully studied, more and more implicitly obeyed. Lesson helps may be found in the following plan: Topic—Wisdom denouncing drunkenness. Lesson outline —1, woes of drunkenness, verses 29-30 2, temptations to drunkenness, verse 31 3, pains of drunkenness, verses 32-35. Golden text—"Be not among wine-bibers," Proverbs xxiii., 20.

An Interesting Letter With Illustrations of Scene* on the Insid.-"

Special Correspondence. NEW YORK, N. Y., December 2.—Ludlow Street jail, New York, possesses features in common with the old debtors' prisons described in the pages of certain modern novelists. As far as possible from being an every-day place of durance, it is interestingly unique beyond all other jails in New York, the state, and the United States. Being, moreover, an institution on the decline, it is the more noteworthy. In short, it presents features which the fanciful scribbler finds symbolized in fall country scenes, concerning which writers and parsons periodically expatiate at this season of the year,

SOME DEPARTED JOYS.

A year and a half ago Ludlow Street jail had a bar, which greatly promoted the comfort and conviviality from time immemorial Enjoyed within its walls. Up to a recent date its inmates were privileged to play billiards $t the cost of the nsual consideration charged outdoors for the same edifying pastime. A spasm of official virtue induced the inquiry which resnlted in the above suggested deprivation. Still the prisoners in the old edifice on Ludlow street are the most privileged of their tribe.

THOSE REMAINING

Their habitation is far from being gei erally equalled in appearance, comfort and convenience by the average buildings surrounding it. Ludlow street, near Grand, as the New Yorkers say, is veryremote from "grand" in reality, and its neat, brick jail looms up with justifiable self-assertion from amid squalid surroundings. The "location" is quiet, and the pri toners are not vexed withjnoise, while seemingly at liberty to make all the noise they please themselves. They are all well warmed by means of steam heat, while many of their neighbors, alas! are shivering with cold. They have such abundance to eat and drink of excellent fare that one prisoner made complaint that his diet was really too good for a man generally unemployed. They certainly enjoy as much liberty as the firstclass passengers on board an ocean steamer of magnificent proportions. Notwithstanding the absence of bar and billiard tables, their means of pastime and amusement are abundant. They can burn a

BRINGING IN THE DINNER.

candle or other illuminator all night their cell if they wish, and from half-past five in the morning till half-past seven the evening they wander at their own sweet will in the corridors of their prison house, with exercise in the ample yard during an hour in the morning. Those who pay extra for the accommodation are sumptuously entertained on the ground floor of the establishment, and there is historic ground for the belief that they are not compelled by any severity of discipline to remain strangers to the outside world during the period of their alleged incarceration. Some confidential persons imprisoned November 4, for offenses against the election laws—poor fellows too, unable to buy "extras,"—fount themselves so unprecedentedly comfortable while in prison that they communicated their resolution to offend again in the same way, on the first opportunity after their release. The inquiry is pertinent, who are the fortunate people constituting the "happy family" of which Miss Becky Jones, a prisoner, declares herself to be a member?

They number only from forty to forty five in a house with roomy quarters for at lens? 125. From fifteen to twenty of them have committed offenses against the laws of the United States, and the balance are civil prisoners "in" for debt, and in some cases, awaiting the slow process of legal relief, or militia men wLo have offended against the military code of the Empire state, and are serving out the first, second or higher number of the twenty-day's sentence imposed on persons imprisoned on this account. The company, taken as a whole, is as harmonious as select, and the illustration of a ship's passengers seems very apt in the observation of the means they adopt to kill time. A good library, the morning and evening papers, games, conversation, music, preaching, lecturing, playing with pet animals, bathing, promenading, smoking and the reception of visitors, vary a life blessed with good eating and drinkipg, and sleeping in wholesome, clean beds in light cells as ornamental and even luxurious as the means of their inmates aamit of their being made. The excitement attending new arrivals and departures gives a zest to the day's proceedings which a voyager on a long trip must perforce do without. Fresh air in abundance and adequate light, polite treatment and the social amenities which render a visit to Ludlow street jail quite a pleasant event in the narrator's iscollectiou of his varied experiences, are mentioned as additional reasons why the fair Becky's description is an exceedingly apt one. Miss Jones can talk, and talk exceedingly well, too, though at this writing seven months a "happy" prisoner because she refused to talk when a presiding justice insisted that she onght to talk.

OBSTINATE BECKY JONES.

The clever artist has shown this chipper little lady in her pleasant quarters on the ground floor of the prison. Her spacious room does duty as both a^parlor and sleeping chamber. It adjoins the boarders dining-room, back of the office, and has gas-fittings and what not to make her comfortable. She is delighted with

BECKY JONES'S CELL.

her quarters and declares she will not be disappointed if the efforts made for her result in failure, for she is perfectly willing to stay till she shall die with the friends who officially or otherwise Bhare her unrigorous captivity. Becky belongs to that class of domestics, now unhappily scarce, who, finding themselves well treated in service, remain in the family so fortunate as to secure their help, until they stand taore on the footing of companions and friends than ordinary domestics. Her piatoral

wealth is of members of "her family," of whose good qualities she is never weary of talking-. One was passing away rapidly Becky was at his bedside. Telling her that "'disputes about property woula certainly follow his dissolution, then about to take place, he drew from the loyal Becky the willing promise that she would not reveal family matters affecting the threatened disputes which would succeed his death. "You will suffer if you do not, Becky." "What of that, sir? I •will keep my promise." "What then could I do, sir?" says Becky, "but tell the Judge that I would not answer the questions put to me until the day of resurrection I told him so, and he put me in here. My people are dead, and I am happier here than I could be outside. I read and sew and go to meeting, and now and then have a good talk with the people up-stairs, and 1 like the warden and the deputy warden, and everybody treats me well, and I am perfectly happy. When you call again come on a soup day and try a plate of our soup. It is delicious, and I ought to know, you know. I lived in Oxford when young master was a student there. Oh, what a lovely place! And Leamington!—why, one could take one's dinner on the street it is so clean. If 1 am ever out again, I think I should like to cross the ocean and live in Leamington." Becky is not the only female in the prison, which has on its staff a cook and assistant cook and a laundress and assistant. Female prisoners have been very few there. GENERA I.

But one limit was put on your corres. pondent's curiosity, and that not by the

CELL NO. 21.—A UNITED STATES PRISONER. Warden and his deputy, not by the six keepers who emulate their agreeable civility. The room in which "Boss" Tweed Btarted for the unknown world is, at present, occupied by Ferdinand Ward. General Grant's lively business partner. This ingenious gentleman, unlike the rest of his fellow-prisoners, spends his time in retirement, and is very seldom seen by anybody excepting visitois. Consequently little can be said about this interesting inmate of Ludlow street jail, who is, of course, a "boarder" and' one of the tip-top type, and, like the rich man in the gospel, "fares sumptuously every day." AH KEE AND THE ANTI-CHINESE LAW.

At the time your correspondent made his notes Ah Kee was a prisoner. His was the first case under the anti-Chinese law which had arisen in New York city. The circumstances of his detention were as follows: He came'from Calcutta as ship's cook on a bark landing in New York. As soon as the vessel arrived he left her, and was subsequently arrested and taken before the commissioners, who decided that lie should be returned to Calcutta. The prisoner's counsel, however, obtained a writ of habeas corpus for his client, and the case was argued in court, resulting in the decision that seamen who came in the ordinary course of their vocation, intending to start for foreign ports as soon as possible, are not laborers within the meaning of the law. If the intention of the prisoner to- seek another vessel immediately had not been rendered somewhat doubtful by the fact that he had left the vessel without the consent of the captain, the judge would have discharged him absolutely. As it was, he discharged him

011

his own

recognizance, with the understanding that he was to obtain a place on another vessel within thirty days. The temptation to enlarge on the law which deprived Ah Kee of absolute liberty for a week is resisted. He was quite a popular prisoner, an intelligent fellow, commanding sufficient English to make himself understood, and able to follow his interrogators without difficulty. Seemingly as far Anglicized, or Americanized, as a Celestial can be, great must have been his surprise to find himself a prisoner against a law of which he had no knowledge. But he was apparently comfortable at Ludlow Street jail, and a curiosity whose peculiarity contributed to the general happiness of that harmonious institution. "THE LAW'S DELAY*." "The law's delay"—this hackneyed phrase is exactly the proper one to adopt —is illustrated in the case of a prisoner whose gratification that he gives the authorities considerable trouble, is re-

markable, because the experiment he is making costs him a good deal of money and breaks up his business. As long ago as 1879, he was placed in Ludlow street jail the first time, for a debt of $6 incurred by him in the shape of fines levied upon him as a member of one of the militia regiments of New York state. He refused to pay, claiming that he was not of legal age when he entered the service. It was contended on the other side that he had voted in the election of a captain for his regiment, and his membership was thereby made valid, if questionable before. His lawyer did not succeed in the contention which he raised on his behalf, and the failure of the writ which had gi,ven him a brief period of liberty resulted in his second imprisonment. He is now enjoying the. hospitalities of the prison for the fifth time, all on account of his non-payment of six dol lare, more than five years ago.

UNITED STATES PRISONERS. Possibly the reader is by this time prepared to believe that public opinion is fast outgrowing the necessity of Ludlow Street Jail, in which men are kept in idleness sometimes for years and generally for reasons which seem to the modern intelligence entirely inadequate. New York state enjoys the distinction of being the only commonwealth in the Union which possesses an institution of the kind. The United States prisoners who luxuriate within ite limits, are short term men, all under twelve months, and esteem it desirable to serve out their period of imprisonment within its walls, not only because their time is shorter than of prisoners of the same class sent elsewhere, but by reason of the superior comforts placed at their command.

For instance, a nine months man, the occupant of cell No. 21, shown in the illustration, committed an offense as an employe in the general post office, New York city. Courtesy did not admit of close questioning on the ticklish subject of his crime. From incidental remarks gathered in conversation, it appeared to

have been embezzlement. His cell fronts the fine, corridor over the entrance, is pleasantly famished, accommodates a pet cat as one of its inmates, ami is as nice a place as a seven dollar a week boarder has outside the prison. But .his accommodations cost him nothing leybnd the courtesies of his friends. He eats, drinks and is merry with his companions, feasts his imagination with the well-selected volumes of the library, reads the papers, and enjoys life generally. To him, as to the other prisoners, six hours, a day are granted as-the time for the reception oi visitors, and those extended if requested.

His punishment is modified by circumstances of which the good-natured visitor is the last to complain, as the prisoner is an agreeable, well-informed man. Still one cannot keep wondering if the blight in his life will not be far more keenly felt in the near future, when he will take his leave of the prison, than it is now, with the command of his time, in abundance, and with enviable means of agreeable pastime and social enjoyment, 0.

THE LEARNED LIBRARIAN. Mention of the library suggests the librarian. He has been an inmate of the jail between six and seven years, is a graduate of Harvard, and a good speaker. He is venerated by his fellow prisoners, has an opinion on the legal, aspect of their respective causes, and does his full share towards the satisfaction which seems to obtain in the institution of which the artist has taken care to make him an ornament.. The library which he distributes is neatly arranged, and adjoins the read ing room, an apartment, by the way, not absolutely sacred to literature and the news—a capital place for talk and a friendly hand in seductive euchre.

RELIGIOUS MATTERS AND OTHER. Twice a week- religious services held in the prison, under the superintendence of a clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal church. On these occasions the jail is, if possible, more scrupulously clean than at any other time. The organ and desk are taken from the library into the spacious corridor. Chairs are set for the congregation. The service, of one hour's duration, takes place on every Wednesday and Sunday afternoon, from halfpast three to half-past four. What the learncU librarian calls a literary and esthetic address is given the prisoners on Monday afternoon, and on Friday afternoon a lady, actuated by philanthropic impulse, imparts instructions in vocal music, accompanying them with performances on the organ. It mitigates the general pleasure that this specimen of "earth's angels is suffering from indisposition, and her kind services are consequently in arrears. To quote once more from our friend, the librarian "We have no gymasium but the pump, at which we take turns with much pleasure." The luxury of a bath whenever desired, is at the commaud of the prisoners. In the expressive words of one of the keepers: "It they ain't clean 'tis their own fault." Abundance of water is supplied in each of the four corridors with facilities for washing. The prisoners are clean, and so is the jail, and an examination of the cells shows that the laundress and her help do not enjoy a sinecure. Fresh bedding is furnished every week. The prisoners' meals are

DIVINE SERVICE IXJ THE CORRIDOR, given to them at their celLs during the hours in which these are unlocked. "Boarders" have a well-set table, in the warden's quarters, at which the fair Becky presides. United States prisoners are the only ones not allowed down stairs. Their cells are placed back to back, and consequently are less light than those of the "civil" prisoners, which run through from one corridor to another, and are the pleasantest and largest this deponent has ever seen. In the alley in which half the cells occupied by the .United States prisoners open, the spacious yard of the prison is seen to the best advantage. The reflective mind is apt to think that building its enclosing walls so high was a work of supererogation.

A visit to Ludlow street jail suggests the same thoughts which the intelligent reader of this sketch is sure to have by the time he has perused it with the conclusion that this time-honored prison has surelv seen the best of its days.

HAL RANGER.

SHERMAN ON THE WAR-PATH.

The General'a Charges Against JefT Davis in a Fair Way of Being More than Proven. St. Louis Special.

The publication a few days ago of the Jeff Davis letter, in which Gen. Sherman is called a "base slanderer" by the former head of the Confederacy, will in a short time bring forth an answer that promises to create a genuine sensation. The pur-

of Gen. Sherman's language at the ouse-warming of the Blair Post October 2 was that while actively engaged on the field he had seen a letter from Jefl' Davis to a Confederate who is now in the United States senate, in which the arch-conspirator hinted that a southern dictatorship would meet his approbation, providing, of course, that Jefl Davis shoulu be made dictator. A strong southern plutocracy should be the character of the new government, and if any of the states resisted Lee's army should be turned on them. In a subse quent interview he said Davis was a conspirator, not a secessionist, and ought to have been shot. This evoked the rancorous letter from Davis, and now Gen. Sherman is looking up the letter. He captured it during his "march to the sea," and, with other confiscated rebel records, it was turned over to the war department. The letter was addressed to a prominent southern general, now a member of the United States senate. The letter was captfired before it was delivered, and all its contents have not been made public. An intimate friend of General Sherman said-tc-day: "Not only will the contents of the letter corroborate all that General Sherman said, but will give to the public an outline of a plot, more damnable than anything that has yet come to the surface regarding the Confederacy. This plot was suspected by the leaders in 1861, but the suspicion was never verified until the capture of the missive. A special messenger has been detailed by the general to look up the letter in the archives at Washington. Once obtained, it will be copied and incorporated in General Sherman's answer to Davis." "How soon will this be?" "Only a short time. Dilligent hands are now searching for the missive. In case it has been destroyed or stolen by ex-Confederates now about the capitol, General Sherman will probably make affidavit incorporating the language he used. He doeg not intend to be sat down on in that kind of manner, and Davis will soon find it out."
