Life in a Penitentiary.
Mr. Moy an draws the following official
Union wit!
picture of ‘ife in a penitentiary :—

Our Convicts.
Ix the report of the Inspector of Peni- ltentiaries, just issued, it is stated that the number of convicts imprisoned on the 30th
June last was:
Kingston Penitentiary. ..........0..--++ 554
j St. Viacent de Paul Penitentiary....... 280 Dorchester ” I yy Munitoba ” coodbiink 5 British Columbia ap 8o ee To ck eet enei als oe ee he FO This number embraces 28 females. The
number of convicts on 30th June, 1886, was 11.200. The reduction of 4lis a gratifying ifeature. The number of our criminals, in proportion to cur popniation, forms a consid- eraoly smaller percentage than in other coun- tries, for which, as the report says, the ‘*people of Canada have special reason to be thankful to a merciful providence.”
_=—*ea- _-
—A writer in one of the periodicals makes the following curious comparison :
“If we glance at the total exports of the whole of the United States for 1880, we shall confront a value that is represented by $3.°3,946,353, and if we look at the correspond ine year for Prince Edward Island the figures reached for total exports will be found to be $2.788,340. The two populations in that yest were 50,000,000 for the United States and 100,000 for Prince Edward Island. Now, if we make these pesleter figures divisors into the totals of exports of values, we shall findthat while the United States, with all their mighty resources, only exported some $16.50 vaine per capita, Prince Edward Island's exports for 1880 divided by her population gave very nearly $28 worth per capita ; so that so far as this may be a fair comparison of energy and success,the Islanders in 1836 beat ‘Uncle Sam's’ children (boy for bey,) nearly as two to one. ”
Archbishop Laud.
Last EVENING, in St. Paul’s achoolroom, Mr. A. B. Warburton read @ very interest- ing paper on the hfe and character of Archbishop Lavt. He soon showed that le held deeided views against the Arch- bishop, and breught up several instances to polut out the Primate’s bigotry. The lecturer showed that the Archbishop's disiike for the Puritans was first seen while at the University, and how he brought dewn on his head the censure of the Vice Chancellor. Laud, he said, was nevera popular man, and was disliked beth at College and in the various Sees he Slied. Intellectually, many cf his own day |} were far his superior, Mr. Warburton then related some of the atrocious. cruelties of which the Primate was the: prime cause, nd alse Liud’s connection with and pro- ec edimgs in the Star Chimber‘and Court of High Onumissim. A discussion after- wards tovk place, in whichithe following geptemen tovuk part: Rev.' 8. Weston- j}Juones, F. de St.Croix Brecdken, R. F. | DeBlois, F. L. Haszard, Charles Palmer | and R. R.

Bank Safeguards.
The Bank of England doors sre now so finely balanced that a clerk, by pressing a kneb under his desk, can close the outer dvors instantly, and they cannot be opened again except by special process. This is done to prevent the daring and ingenious unemployed of the metropolis from robbing the bank. The bullion department of this ang other banks are nightly submerged in water by the action of the machinery.

Notes by the Way,
Mr, T. L. Chappelle, writing from St. | John, N. B., says:
Leaving Charlottetown on Monday aftey- noon, the 23rd January, and arriving here on Saturday evening, the 28th, making the run as quickly as possible, is s truism which we Islander’s are familiar with. About 200 miles in one week! Mails seven | days old! Passengers subjected to delay: and expense! Surely this is a subject) which should stimulate the people of our| Province to make a positive demand for “eontinuows steam communication,” asstipu- | lated in the Terms of Union, and which | can only be had by means of a subway or! tunnel. it appears that we have not put sufficiept force in our demand. No rest should be had until the boon is assured.
After being snow-bound at Port Elgin, N. B., for two days, the solitary snow- plough on the N. B. and P. E. Railway put in an appearrnees at noon to-day, thus | enabling passengers to reach their destina- tion this evening.
In St. John, the chief topic of the hour seems to be the snecession of failures which have recently taken place ; most of them, I believe, are ow ng to the disastrous failure of the Maritime Bank. The latest suspens- ions are those of Dudrie Breeze, wholosale grocer and wine merchant ; George Mor- rison, jr., wholesale grocer, and Thomas Furlong, wine merchant (a man reputed to be one of the staunchest in the city.)
The harbor of St. John, one of the finest in the world, remains open during the severest weather, while those of New York and other places are impeded with ice—a Strong arepument, undoubtedly, in favor of making this the winter port.
Writing front Taunton, (Mass.) the same writer says :
‘“Taanton is a very pretty surburban town of Boston—being distant from the city one hour's drive, and having a popula- tion of 26,000.
The Whitterten Cotton Mills, owned by the Lovering Bros., and giving employ- ment to 500 persons, is situate here, as is also the famous Brittania Metal and Silyer Works, of Reid & Barton, whose establish- ment covers @ larve amount of territory, employing,on an userage,about 750 hands. The West Silver Company, a smaller con- cern, complete the three chief industries of the place.
** Last evening | attended a lecture on * Home Rule,” by Sir Thomas Grattan Esmonde, M. P., delivered in the Music Hall. Preceding the lecture a Mr. Stewart, who accompanies the Baronet, made a rattling address~rauch more yigorous than the eflort of Sir Thomas, who appeared to be lost for something to say, and to strive t3 be oviginal withou! success. He is a very young man, evidently not mote that 25 or 28 years, but lacking the force, energy and convic tion of a Justin McCarthy. The audi- ence, which was quite large, listened attentively to the speakers—the evening's entertainment closing in & practical shape by the issuing of Dullar Certificates to as- sist the cause of Ireland.”

Expelled “rom the Army.
At Little Falls, N. ¥., in December Jast, there was agrand hallelujah wedding,. ac which Cuiptain “rics Von Alexson and Captain Polly Bryan, of the Salvation Army, were married. They had a ‘big procession parading the streeta, preceded by a drum corps, and had a hallelejah time generally. Polly was buxom and fair to look upen, and was altogethef the most pre- possessinyy member of the female contingent of the Salvation Army. Bur Polly is now in disgrace, and the cause of that disgrace is her bustle. Captain Polly being good- looking, had the cquimon instinct the sex for dress, and because she refused to dis- eard her bustle s1e and her husband have been expelledfrom the Army, and_ that expulsion includes every branch of the Army in the United States and Canada, General T. E. Mvore, commander of the Salvation Army in the United States and Canada, in a letter to Polly’s husband, explaining his action in the matter, says :~—
‘“T do not think your wife in atalla condition to lead others away from the world and sin, and must say I am astonish- ed to think you could upbeld an officer, though she be your wife, in dressing her- self in a manner that Mrs. Alexson did. She was kindly reproved and shown the wrong, but persistod in wearing a bustle on her back that disgusted every decent person, and I say in sincere godliness | cannot sead her to another station, Hoping you both may see the wrong of this, I am, with sorrow, yours forever for Jesus’ sake.”
Captain Alexson and his wife Polly, intimate that there has been some very crooked work in the Salvation Army, and that they will make it hot for General Moore before they get through with him,

It is not often really honest goods are offered at the prices we quote below. But the fact is we have a good many Dolmans, Ulsters, Jackets, Jerseys, Sacks and Reding- gotes remaining, although our sales in this department have been very large, and we are now offering all that remains at extraordinary low prices to turn them into cash, before stock-taking. Ulsters worth up to $4, for $2; $8 fer $5; Jackets worth $4.25 for $3; worth $7 for $5, and our whole stock at equally low prices.
These prices are certainly remarkable, but there is no questioning them---we guarantee them genuine. Call and secure first choice.
