CRVEL PUNISHMENTS.
Tortara of Prisoners In Prassia
Flogging and Confinement in Cells
New Yokk, Jan. 15. A Berlin
special to the Tribune says: A.
curious book has made its appear
ance here, entitled A Manual for
the Directors of Prisons." Its
author is Herr Kreho, warden ef
neoftbe principal penitentiaries
of the empire. Its chief interest
lies in the revelatians which it con
tains concerning the disciplinary
punishments inflicted whenever
necessary upon inmates of various
stite prisons throughout Germany.
The punishment in question are
two in number, namely, flogging
and confinement ;n the punish
ment cell. The punishment cell is
an exceedingly cruel contrivance.
It contains no furniture of any kind
whatever, not eveu a board, bed or
stove, and the floor and walls are
constructed of triangular blocks of
wood, the points of which are
turned upward in t'uc esse ot the
floor and outward in that of the
walls. Into a cell thus constructed
the prisoner is thrust barefooted
and dressed only in a this canvas
jacket and trousers. i
Alter tne lapse ot a couple ot
hour?, the prisoner finds it impossi
ble to staDd any longer on his or
ber feet, and attempts a recumbent
position, which in the course of
time becomes equally intolerable.
At tins end ot twenty-lour hours
confinement in these cells, the feet
ninl portions of the body which
huvi? come into contact with the
Dcibl'.'l surface are covered with
blood, and it usually takes a full
month befere a prisoner thus tor
tured is able to walk again.
The official recards quoted by Di
rector Krolin show that forty-one
men and fifteen women were sub
jected tw this form at' punishment
in Prussia trom the midsummer ot
1SSS to the midsummer ef 1SS9,
while the flogging during the same
period numbered 190. The average
number of floggings each year since
18 iS has been ISO. Of course this
only refers to Prussia, where pig
eon -shooting is punished as a crime
and where associations have been
founded for the construction af
winter shelter for sparrows.
While it is manifestly absurd to
pans pe reconvicts, as the Swiss do at
Newfchatel, where the prisoners
are treated to hot chocolate for
breakfast and are permitted tie use
f several billiard tables for their
regular afternoon games, yet the
seyeruy oi prison discipline in uer-
oacny seems excessive and even bar
barous. """'"'" -'---r-
IN THE SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 16. In tho
senate Delph introduced a bill ap
propriating f 500,009 for continuing

MORE LAND.
A Large Amount of Reservation Do
main Thrown Open to Settlement
Washington, Jan. 1C Secretary
Noble submitted to the president

ing lands in the Sioux reservation

open to settlement several hundrsd
thousand acres ot land belonging

of the negotiations of commissioners
appointed by the president as
directed by acts of Congress.

IN THE PRESIDENTIAL COT.
The Unusual Escapade of a Bevy of
Pretty Sirls.
Washington Post.
During President Harrison's out
ing last week be stopped a short
time at Richland Station, a small
town in Stafford county, Tirginia.
and as soon as it became noised
about that the President was in
tewn tbere was great anxiety to see
him. Rut the President was out
for docks, and not for exhibition
purposes, and managed to get out
into the marshes before the people
of Richland Station were folly
aware of his presence. However,
there was a .bevy of yonng ladies,
who proposed to make the most ol
his flying visit, and they proceeded
to a small steam launch -nhich
carried the Presidential party and
induced the good-natured eclored
man who was left in charge to allow
them to inspect the craft. They
were all nice young ladies, and, .as
the custodian of the launch had
some duties to attend to, he allowed
tbem to roam about tho boat at
their will. They were admiring
the cozy little cabin in which the
President slept, when the. most
venturesome of the lot proposed
getting into the cot. The propos
al was no sooner made than all the
party was heartily io favor of it,
and wraps and shoes were hastily
thrown aside, while each took .a
short turn on the Presidential coucb
The novelty having been enjoyed
by all, the. bed was neatly made up
by most willing hands, and the
President was none the wiser when
he occupied . it at night. This
incident la now the talk of Stafford
county.

How Gold Rings Are Hade.
St Louis Republic.
Gold rings are made from bars
nine to fifteen inches long. One of
these bars, fifteen inches long, two
inches wide, and three-sixteenths of
nn inch thick, is wo-th 1000, and
will make C00 four-pennvweight
rings. A dnzen processes and
twenty miuutes lime are required
to convert this bar into merchant
able rings. First a pair of shears
cuts the bar into scrips; then by
the turn of a wheel a guillotine
like blade attached to the machine
cuts the bar into slices, one, two,
or three sixteenths of uu inch wide.
A roiling machine next presses out
the slice and makes them either flat
or grooved. Each strip is then
put under a b'.ow-pipc and anneal
ed. The oxide of copper comes io
the surface, and is put into a pickle
of sulphuric acid, af ter which the
ring is stamped "14k," "16k" or
"18k," according to quality. Next
it is put through a machine which
bends it into the shape of a ring of
the size desired. Tho ends are
then soldered with an alloy of
inferior fineness to the quality of
the ring. Many people think that
rings are molded because they can't
see where they are soldered. . Tho
ring spins through the turning
lathe, is rounded, pared and polish
ed, first with steel filings, then with
tripoli and rouge,- - 1-
EUROPEAN EMPERORS.
Not a Very Brilliant Collection of
Honarchs.
London World.
Whatever my own opinion of
kings may be, I do not think much
of emperors. That adventurer.
Louis Napoleon, became one by
blood and perjury, and in order to
strengthen, as he imagined, his dy
nasty, he dragged his country into
an unsuccessful war. in Uermany
they have as Emperor a vain, flighty
lad, who is endowed witn a devour
ing wish to force on a European
war in order to equal or surpass the
martial renown of his grandfather.
In Russia there is an Emperor
skulking in the recesses of his
palace lest one of his faithful sub
jects should shoot him and under
the delusion that be is uod s vice
Regent on earth. In Turkey tbere
is an Emperor (for by this term,
would Sultan be translated) who
allows his soldiers and his civil
servants to starve while be makes a
purse for himself, and who encour
ages in his dominions the worst of
atrocities. Of all living Emperors,
now that Dom Pedro ha- been re
tired from the business, the Em
peror of Austria is the best. He is
a decent, well meaning man, whose
chief merit is that I o has shared
power with his subjects, and
quieted Hungary by giving it home
rule. Oa the whole, therefore, I
think that the most sensible courEe
for those afllicted with an Emperor
is civilly to conduct him to a ship,
and to order the captain to land
him wherever he likes, provided
that it be outside of what be was
pleased to call his empire.
