Awful Fate of Russian Prisoners in
Mines of Sakhalin.
A writer In Leslie’s Weekly gives a
graphic account of the horrors of prison
life at the Russian convict station on
Saghalin, an island in the Sea of
Okhotsk.
The total number of convicts at pres
ent quartered on Saghalin is estimated
at nearly 10,000, aud one cannot ponder
over the lot of these miserable people
without a mingled shudder of gloom
and horror. The minor malefactors
are seldom consigned to the mines,
which, in a measure, is an amelioration
of their punishment, but of the gates
of Saghalin they may figuratively read.
“All hope abandon ye who enter here.’’
No distinction is made for age, sex or
condition. The prisoners, so soon as
they are landed, are sorted according
to their rigor of the punishment to
which they have been condemned. The
lesser criminals, chained and logged to
guard against possible escape, are giv
en occupation above ground as tillers
of the soil or prison attendants, sub
ject to the petty whims and cruelty of
subordinate officials. Unceasing toil,
curses, semi-starvation, the “plot,” a
terrible loaded whip, is henceforth
their daily lot: but it Is a bed of roses
compared with the future condition of
the more unfortunate degenerates,
those guilty of real heinous crimes,
and those whom Russian officialdom
fears even more, political malefactors.
These prisoners, so soon as they are
landed, are assigned to a distinctive
number and huddled pell-mell, like a
horde of wild beasts, into one of the
gaping holes in the mountain sides.
From that day until death fortunately
relieves their sufferings they are con
demned to a life of the most abject
misery, degradation and hardship. The
vast subterranean channels become
populous avenues of wild-eyed, frantic
maniacs. The most brutal immorali
ties are prevalent: children are born,
but no distinction is made for their con
dition; the steel-hearted overseers give
them a distinctive* number if they sur
vive to a proper age: infanticide is en
couraged and abetted, and thenceforth,
although guiltless of all crime, tlie.v
suffer the fate of their parents.
Down in the dark bowels of th?
earth, denied even a pittance of ®un-
shine or fresh air, these God-forsrtken
unfortunates toil on endlessly, until
first files spirit, then reason—hideous,
shrunken, tortured, gnomes and ma
niacs. they labor on till their doom is
happily cut short by death's welcom
ing hand. One or tw*o, or at the ut
most, five years of this living, death
prevails over the most vigorous vital
ity; more often long before that time
the miserable wretch ends all by sui
cide. Small wonder it is that most of
them live but a few months; their
deaths are reported by the overseer,
and in sickening farce the priest is sent
for, sprinkles the accursed spot with
w’ater. and in an unknown grave they
are unceremoniously buried.
Some
times the thrill of liberty is too strong
to be resisted: a sodden frenzy to es
cape light up the embruted breasts
with the faint hope of despair, and.
goaded to fury, the talder spirits start
an Insurrection, overpower tbeirgunrds
and rush toward the shelter of the
gloomy mountain fastnesses.
Like
mad dogs, they are trailed, surrounded
by soldiers and shot down with no com
punction.

part of the city across the creek. So
she has been taken by her mother to
call on a great many older persons and
has made the acquaintance of numer

long ago one of these boys came to see
his friend’s mother very formally anti

To-day is a good time to begin (if you
have not already done so) to take Vogeler’s
Curative Compound. That nervous trouble,
that dull headache, that bad taste in the
mouth when awakening in the morning with
the usual offensive breath, that poor appetite
for breakfast, indigestion, dull, heavy feeling
of the stomach, that tired feeling are all
evidence of a weak digestion and impure
blood, which can be cured permanently by
taking Vogeler’s Curative Compound. The
cures effected by this marvellous medicine
are not fictitious or temporary, but are real,
radically complete and hence lasting.
