The Mismanagement of a Portion or the Kepttblicm Directory of the Northern Prison. T1i "Prospect ot the Prlou Booming a Pauper Katber Than a iure of Revenue. Michigan City DI7tch.l The .following order. issued by "Warden Murdock to Ford, Johnson fc Co., contract ors, is the ririt outcome ot the new regulations which President Beeson, aided by Deputy President Levy, "have seen tit Vj make: IKDIANA STATSTf Nom, M tortus an City, Ud., March te, W2. i VV.rrL ?ohnin .t Co l"der the order o( the new Board I can not let to work men lor le via the cor.mu t price. You will have vo py tuil price Tor all cripple. cranks tod disabled tan you won, iruiu now on James Mirdocx, Warden. For a clear understanding of the effect of this order it w ill be necessary to review a rart of the business relations of rdessrs. Ford, Johnson fc Cot. contractors. On the 15th of March, 180, the firm of Hibben fc Strauss entered Into a contract with the Directors, by which on payment of thirty live cents ter day for each convict em ployed, they were to be furnished with a number of men sufficiently able bodied and intelligent to nil any part of the duty of cigar makers and by aclause, numbered live in the original contract, such cranks, invalids, or incai bi"8 as could not work as full hands were to be let to Hibben & Strands by the Warden on such terms as ruiht be agreed upon by him and them from time to time; this contract wa for two years, with priv.lepe of extension to rive years; on February 1(5, IS?, Hibben t Straus3 notified the Directors that they would accept it for the whole five years, and on the fame day assigned their interest to Ford, Johnson it Co.. huhject to the approval f the Directors; the Directors, in con-id er ation of an advance of two and a half cents per day per man, approved the transfer of the contract, with the exception of Article No. 5, which wa the one by which cranks, invalids, incapables and such convicts as could not do full work should be let out to the contractors for what, in the opinion of the Warden and contractors, they might be worth. The great variety of liht labor which Messrs. Ford, Johnson V Co. can provide afforded an opportunity for giving partial work to this otherwise useless class of convicts, and the humanity and tact with which the firm manages its bimnen has always made work in their shops a favorite position with the prisoners, but now from the wimIoiu cf President IWson and Deputy President Levy, about thirtyfive prisoners will have to remain locked up in their cells cndemueJ to idleness, their profit to the State lost, their own happiness diminished, for nearly every man 1:1 the Prison rtfiis moderate labor to total and enforced idleness, and probuhly the services of an extra guard required. And let it be remembered that this is all done from tiie meanest of all motives, that of punishing Warden Mardock by limiting the range of his discretionary powei, simply because he refused to allow Ileesoti and Ivy to do an unlawful set innpjx'intinga worthless favorite of theirs to the responsible ollice of Deputy Warden. It may be interesting for the ex-rostniaster of Lebanon, wl:o does the prison vrntin jr fur the Indianapolis ilerld, to figure up how soon President 15eesxn will save tho State $14,00) by reducing thirty-five prisoners, who have hitherto been productive of revenue, to the condition of drones in the industrial hive. But it may be said in behalf of the Di. rectors that the State can lind employment for thes inen, and other surplus labor, either by employing theiu itself or by letting them to other contractors. Cut the statement would be untrue. There are less than 000 prisoners in confinement. The workshops are so built as to alfjrd facilities for the" employment of tbout l,w hand", but owing to bad management on the part of President Iieeson and Vice Pre-ident Lavy. every inch of shop room is let to contractors; one whole first Hour is used as a fctorage room by Pratt tV. Co.; there is no appropriation for building wore shop?, nor are more shops ntedul at present; with good management the present room is ample; but to administer to the local political inllaence of Ueeson and Levy wasteful contracts for room have been made, and, as Las been thovn, nearly fifty pritouers are thrown into idleness at a serious loss to the State. Other statistics which we shall hereafter produce will demonstrate that instead of making a saving of $40,0o0, or $14.000, or M.OUO for the next year, the present inefficient cros-roads politicai management of Beeson and Levy will entail a heavy loss on the State. A Story of Cairo. IA11 the Year Round. A great scandal occurs to luy mind as happening at Cairo in 1880. Scheikh Hamüda Iierd lived in a quarter of the town less fashionable than is generally affected by wealthy saints who have gained public recognition. With modest assurance he declared that Allah had personally granted him authority to cure all diseases. By the Land of Mahomet him self, the Merciful Que coplided tQ hlra drills and lotions tvh:ch restored the tight, replaced the amputated limb, and so on. As for mere pains and aches lie removed them at a word. During many years' residence at Cairo, a vast number of persons profited bv his supernatural skill, but he sptciallv laid hiruelf out for female patients. In later time?, the good man found hi practice so large that he could no longer attend poor people. From every part of Kgypt, Arabia and Syria, wealthy ladies came to consult the Bcheikh, ard of coarse they brought a nanusome present. One day, toward the middle of last vcar, the young wife of Izzet Dev. a Colonel in the Egyptian &ei vice, proposed to visit him for an a tFection of the eyes. The Colonel sent her a proper r tinue öf attendants, who returned, l know not why. after Hrxwtin their mistress at the door of Hamunda lerJa. tihe entered with a favorite stavebut never tame out again. For some days her husband was not alarmed, since surgical operations demtn-l a certain time. Anxious at length, lie- eallel ujon the Scheikh, wnote manner was nov reassuring. He protested that' the young woman had leu on t ii evening of her ar nvai. cured, in Colonel was not satisfied, lie appealed to the police, and they searched the dwelling minutely: I presume that Izxet liey is a riiun of influence. Nothing was found in the saintly house, but a very foul and malodorous well in the garden drew their notice. Removing the river tney to una to corpses ot the young woman and her slave, among such 'a mass of putrid bones as showed that whole-ale mnnlr r !ud been going on f jr years. Drought nefore the Cadi, the saint confessed his habit of strangling every woman who came to consult him.it her jewelry seemed worth the trouble Such hideous stories now and then shock the grave, dumb population of the Fast. i:mrUt Parties. Parisian. February 2S. I The latest fashion among the Paris youths of aristocratic pretensions is a sort oi dinner of the "bracelet." A party of about a dozen young prodigals club together and each subscribe 100 francs. With this capital they purchase a bracelet of unique and tasteful deeign. They then prepare a .dinner at some fashionable restaurant, to which they invite an equal number of ladies the wittiest and prett-'est and wickedest of their acquaintance. After the meal has been partaken of, with all its accessories of gay badinage and repartee.' the bracelet is put up in a lottery. Of course there is decided incitement as to its destination. If a woman is the happy recipient, well and good ; but if it falls into the hands of a man,

Ciiarnf tetlstlcwt the Stranger Approaching the KArth At tiie Kate of Two MUllou M iles Per Day. Correspondence New York Herald. Aibajcy, March 2i At4 o'clock on the morninsrof March 1. Mr. Charles S. Wells, oue of the assistants in the Dudley Observatory, discovered a small but very bright coriift in the constellation of Hercules. This comet bids fair to be the astronomical sensation of the year. On the morning of discovery Mr. Weils was able to secure but few definite observations, owing to weariness and the rapid approach of dawn. He did, however, measure a rough position of it, and noticed that it had a small tail, equal to about one-fifth of t!e diameter of the moon in length. This tail was. intensely bright, and there was the aptearance of a starlike body in the head. News of the discovery was immediately communicated to astronomers and to the public, but owing to unfavorable weather but few observations have thus far been obtained. At the Dudley Observatory, of course, the new comet has been the one tonic of ab-orbing interest The con densed brightness of the head, the narrow tail and the slow apparent motion acrof-s the face of the sky, all served to heighten the interest which wa9 felt and led the astronomers in Albany to predict for the strange body an extraordinary future. The night oi March 10 was clear, and another observation was made at the Dudley Observatory by Professor Uors at:d h:s assistants. The view then only served to intensify impatience for the time to arrive when the third observation could be made, which is always necessary before the future course of a comet can be predicted. On Tuesday right their eyes were again rewarded by a few brief glimpses of the new candidate for celestial honors. The comet had increased in size and brightness. but clouds and fogs conspired to obscure all finer details. All day Wednesday the Albany astronomers were engaged on the necessary computations for an orbit and table of future jositions in the sky. Of course, with such slender material, extend ing over four days only, but little could be exacted in oint of accuracy. Put that little has been snlhcicnt to excite the most glowing anticipations for the future. The new comet is now approaching the earth, or rather the comet and earth are mutually approaching eacii other, at the enormous velocity of 2,000,000 miles per day. Though the comet is now visible to the naked eye, it can not long continue to hide its light. It is now nearly one hundred and eighty five million of miles from the sun, but it will go on approaching the sun at a rapidly increasing rate until about the middleof June, wLen it will pas it perihelion at a distance from the sun of less than ten million miles. At present the comet is about IGO.OoO.OOO miles from the earth, and its distance from us will not probably be less than ;0,000.000 at any time, though further calculation will be necessary to settle that point. lint though it will not approach us so nearly as O'.her comets have done, it may be' expected to make a line display for a few days in the early part of June. Only ten comets have hitherto been known to approach the sun so nearly as tlm in all probability will. It is to hi regretted, however, that its greatest bruhiincv will tc:ur at a time when K will be inviiibl to tu. and seen only in the Southern Hemisphere. In this respect it will resemble the great comet of 1HS1. The present extraordinary intensity of its light, which comes to u from the enormous distance of PX. 000.000 miles, voves that It has plenty of material for future display, and it will probably show a long and nearlv straight tail "f enormous dimensions to our antipodes. How much of the tame sort it will give us is still somewhat problematical and can only be decided on the basis of further observations. It is now invisible" to the naked eye, and by a small telescope though it is readily seen, yet owiny to itssmtllnes it can hardly be distinguish fro :i the itars which surround it. After pas-ing its perihelion it will pobably become giin visible in the Northern Hemisphere. It now appears in the con stellation of the Lyre and Vega. It will pass to the westward of that star auu about the 1st of April will stand within four or live degrees from it. It will continue ou its pumey up into Cepheug, when in May it will make an abrupt turn-and go plunging in toward the sun. The elements of the orbit of the new comet are: Perihelion passage. June 13; peri he! ion place, 4! deg. 33 min. ; longitude of node, -OO deg. 40 mm.; inclination, 74 Uejr. 47 min.; perihelion distance, 10,003,ouo miles; motion direct. This comet appears to have no analogue in the pasr. as no comet is known with ele ments suQciently resembling these to con stitute reasonable belief in identity. Th elements of the comet of 1007 somewhat resemble those of the present comet, but the perihelion distance' of the. former is com puted to be seven times as great as that of the latter. Two weeks of further oK-erva' tion will serve to remove many uncertain ties which now exist as to the future of this comet, and these observations will unquestionably be awaited with the greatest in tere?, - - An Ohio Journal ou Two Great Crimes. Cambridge Jefiersonl&n. The crime of putting Hayes into the Ex. ecutive teat to which he was not called by the voice of the electoral colleges was an assassination of Republicanism. The criminal participants were rewarded by money, place, and i-er. The venal administration of public atfairs which followed had for its object only the placation of thieves, nnd perjurers, and bribe takers, and bribegivers. The damning partnership against patriotism will forever make danger of evil influences in all the affairs of the Nation. The success of the crime made the weak and the vicious believe that lite wrongs might aain be perpetrated, and that the criminal might not only escape, but be rewarded for his crimes. Haves' crime was the parent of Guiteau's crime. The assassination of the republic was the precedent tor the assassination of the President. Guiteau's expectations Were built upon the rewards fciven by Hayes to political assassins. Thus do the crimes of one political era become the horrors of the next. The two eras and the chief actors in them will go dowt in history into eternal infamy together. 1 I m ItoMa MiU the B0tt4aee.

GENERAL KELSON'S DEA'HI.

New Account ot the Tragedy by an Kye Wltnes. B Special to the Cincinnati Commercial. Fban-kfout, Ky., March 21. I tnet Mr. John Carnes, of Grant County, vrt Duhr's today, and in a convetaflon with bim he mentioned that he was present at the Killing of General Nelson by General Davis in the Gait House, in Iuisvil!e, in 1G" and witnessed the- whole occurrence, lletaid that he bad read some publications in re gard to it, but all of them varied in a more or less degree from bis recollection of the facts. Thinking his statement might be of interest 1 took it down. "1 wasmLouisvilieinSeptember.l.Oi lam not positive as to the day of the month, and happened to be in the Gait House on the morning that General Nelson wa bot. There was a great deal of excitement in the citv at the near approach of Bragg's Army, and the place vj fall of troops. I had recently been commisioned as a Secoud Lieutenant in the Thirty-second Kentucky Infantry, Colonel Morrow. I was fitting on a coil of heating pijes in the oCice, near the corner of the counter, on the east side of the room, and about opposite the hall door which led to the ladies' parlor on .the west side. Governor Morton and General Nelson were talking together a few feet from me no more than eight or ten and 1 was observing them closely. M7 attention was particularly fixed upon Governor Morton, as I bad never seen bim before. After some ten or fifteen minutes' conversation they moved up to the couuter. and General Nelson leaned upon it on his left elbow. They were soon joined bv two other gentlemen, one of them Generul Davis, and the other a tall, stout man in a linen duster, w hose name I have forgotten. Breakfast tickets were a: ked for by Governor Morton, General Nelson and Gen-, eral Davis. The clerk handed thetu out, when Nelson and Davis entered into a very earnest conversation, but in n tone of voice so low that I did not catch what they said. Suddenly General Nelson raised bis hand and struck down, as though excitedly gesticulating, and, turning to the Governor, 1 heard him say, in a loud voice: 'Governor Morton, is this the kind of olhecrs you send to the Army to Insult me?' Governor Morton turned pale, but made no reply. He looked surprised and anxious, and as though he feared some trouble between the men. General Nelson then raised his arm a second time, looking toward Gereral Davis, and remarked, 'I don't intend to be insulted in this way,' and slapped him in the face. I noticed as he did this that the breakfast ticket tlew out of his band. General Davis did not resent the blow, but walked away in company with the gentleman in the duster, whom I took to be an officer, diagonally across the ollice, and entered a room to the south of the door which led to the ladies' parlof. General Nelson, too. immediately left, passing west and into the door leadinj to the same parlor, which he entered and walked to about the center of the room, directly under the chandelier. I could see him "distinctly from where 1 sat. He paused, dropped his hands to his sides and looked up toward the ceiling, remaining in that attitude for probably a minute; turned and started in the direction of the ollice door opposite the main stairway. At this moment Genneral Davis, who had left the room to the south cf the entrance, still accompanied bv the man in the duster, encountered Nelson. There was not over live feet between them. reison had inst readied the bottom 0: the stairway. D-is called out, 'Not another step further,' instantly irew his pistol and tired. There was a small man itaudin near Nelson, and when the shot was lired, the latter turned, and with his left hand grasped this man by the back of his neck and whirled bim around, then Itt go of Lim and proceeded fclowlv up the stairway, i'wo geutleiuen caught Davis and quite a btrnpgle ensued. Governor Morton rushed up and aNo took hold of Davis. The latter resisted with all his strength, while the man in the duster kept calling out, 'Let him go!' Davis repeated this, and added that he would cot shoot again. He was finally disarmed, and quiet fur a moment restored. Kverybodv was astounded and you might have heard a pin drop. I ntn some one called out. 'Who gave him that pistol?' The man in the duster answered, 'I did, by , and would give another if he needed it.' He and Davis thou walked towards the room from which they bad emerged after the slapping, amidst the profoundest tiler.ee on the part of the spectators. They did not enter ihe door. "The first man to move was Governor Morton, who started to the stairway, which he mounted with a quick, light step. He was ioiioweu dv uenerai urmenueu a mo ment afterward. Presently a man in uniform came to the foot of the stairway and asked lyudly if there .was a surgeon present, that he was needed in General Nelson's room immediately. He returned upstairs, but soon came back, and cried out: 'For God's sake, if there is a surgeon in the house, have him sent to General Nelson's room, quick!' A surgeon who had come at the moment, went up, and I followed hiin. Just as we reached General Nelson's door. General Crittenden came out. I ssked him: 'How is the General?' He replied in a low tone: 'He is dying; lie can not live fifteen minutes. 1 did not go in, but through the open door saw the General lying on the bed. I returned to the oCice. Governor Morton soon cam? dor-, and. ssffl cut without Saving A word. About twenty minutes after the shooting occurred, word was brought that the General was dead. "I then went out on the street just as two military companies came upon the double quick and were formed in front oT the hotel. 1 went to John W. Finnell's otllce he was the Auditor General of the State, and bad been driven from Frankfort by the advance of the enemy and told him of the occurrence. He seemed inexpressibly shocked; ordered his ollice closed and went to the Gait House. I returned with him. 1 did not care to see the body. "It was a very tad day and one of deep apprehension, 'i here were a lare number of Indiana regiments in the city, and it was understood that they would interfere if uny attempt was made to arrest General Davis, himself an Indianian; and, beides, General Nelson, since the battle of Richmond, bad been extremely unpopular with the people of the State." As Mr. Carnes- is a gentleman of respectability, and was never before interviewed on this subject, nor has made any publication thereto, his statement is of value. Shlpherd's Statement. A New York special says: Collector KoberUon naid 10 a World reporter to-day: -I have real the teuimony giveu by Mr. SbU-herd, and. so far as it relates to me. he has fairly and tently Mated the fact1. I waa employed ltx full by the I'erurlan Company to examine the title 10 lis claim against the Peruvian Government, Mr. tfhipherd representing the CompHiiy. I lud made his acquaintance when I was Chairmau of the Judiciary Coiamli lea of the bhve feeua:e, and beecemed to have formed a good opinion of me as a lawyer. In asking me to eeept a retainer be mentioned as the otüer counsel ex-Senator Boatwfll, Mr. seott Lord, aud others, lnrluilrig, I think, ex Senator, Con LH Lg. I toll him I whs very buy, and he urged that I should take ray own time. I linally consented to look the matter over, and in the couism of a month I did no, thoroughly. I advised the Company that If the facta presented by Mr. Khiphero were accurnte the claim was a valid one. 1 was paid for my tronble, and there my connection Hh the Peruvian Company ended. My oiiicial position had nothing to do u Ith the employment. Had I beca a Senator It would have been a different matter, for men I should have had a vote in case the claim ever came before Cougrensln anyway. I acted simply as a lawyer, and would be glad to receive such employment whenever I have the time to give it the necetsary attention. I am already counsel for two corporations In Westchester County, though my partners have relieved mo of the work connected therewith." It is of vital importance to know that the proclivities for life, both goodand evil, are more or leas Btamped upon the offspring of both maa and beast before thev are born. and that the evil Btirroundiogs of mothers are like birthmarks, impressed upon their children. Women, being ths makers and

educators of men, should be placed in the

bt possible condition for their best production. For. if the mothers are debased by a sense of inferiority, their sons will be sordid and selfish, as is seen in the prevailing unhallowed strife fc,r dominance in trade, politics and religion. Anon.
