1o the K.lltor of The tttt.
DKAU Sin Lot mo ask the indulgent
renders of your vn.lun.blo papers to follow
mo in imagination past the iron locks nnd
bolts and bars into the interior of the
atoto prison or penitentiary at Foit Mnd-
'son. ' In the mind's , jyn let \ \ * look Mrlm
the unfortuuhto as well as crii\nnl \ con
vict ns they toil and suffer , s they live
and die , in this boosted model prison ,
where the doansat tights of helpless hu
manity are crushed beneath the iron heel
of a cruel and corrupt administration.
In this ( Ago of free thought and pro
gression , 1 believe I Imvo a right to bo
hoard , ox-convict though 1 bo , and hero
to-day treading the free soil , and , thank
Godbreathing the free air of my adopted
state , Nebraska , 1 shall speak the truth
without fear or favor , as regards the
workings of that shool on earth , that hot
bed of crime , where , despite the boasted
philanthropy of this the nineteenth cen
tury , brutality reigns rampant amid the
groans of despairing humanity.
But enough ! To come to the point. I
am not lecturing but pen-picturing.
There are to-dayna during the year past ,
about four hundred inmrtca confined in
this prison representing all ages ami con
ditions , from the youthful mvirderor of
fourteen to the grey headed rapist.
The ordinary visitor unless ho bo a close
observer sees little to remark ns ho on-
tera the arched gateway nnd goes the
rounds of the prison. Being hustled from
one department to nnother in short or
der , ho notes the strict discipline nnd
Hatters himself with the vain thought
that hero nt least crime is being checked
and that the criminal is becoming re
formed.
After entering the walls the first plnco
submitted to the inspection of thuatrnngor
is the cell housealong , gloomy , building
r corridor , whose whitewashed walls enclose -
close the cells which risu tier upon tier
throe atorica high ; there uro throe hun
dred colls. In the solitude of those dun
geons the inmate ponders on the pvil er
rors of his way or as inclination may
prompt him plans now schemes of devil
ment. As the visitor casts but a glnnco
on this bastilo his attention is called by
the guard and the line of march takes
him to the bell house. Hero ho is bland
ly introduced to the deputy , an alleged
Cant. "Jack Townsend , " if you plonso ,
who graciously opens the books of record
nnd shows the astonished visitor that this
is not only a solf-supporting institution ,
but during the three years past has re
turned to the treasury of thu atato nine
thousand dollars. Nine thousand dollars
lars ! forsooth does ho toll you at what a
terrible cost this grand achievement has
boon accomplished ; docs ho speak of the
corrupt , soul-dostreying convict contract
system , any nothing of the wounds , cuts ,
bruises and hunger gnawing at the vitals
of his victims. But enough , I will apeak
of him when I describe the punishments.
Passing to the roar of the Hill House
through the dining room wo enter the
kitchen where the guard explains the
steam arranpomont by which the food of
the convicts is cooked tasting a morsel
of good bread always on hand , a sample
for the occasion. Wo again take up the
line of march and enter the lovra Tool
Company's shops , where one hundred and
fifty convicts are employed in the manu
facture of hoes , rakes , pitchforks and
such like hand instruments for use in the
garden or on the farm. Amid the dust
and omoko begrimed with soot lot in
look at the convicts who forgo the steel ,
which eventually bright and clear comes
to the citizen's hand as a sample of the
useful trades to which the criminal ia
supposed to bo educated. Hut alas , the
greed for gold is great and the stern shy-
lockism of the ages , represented by a
grasping contractor , knows no mercy and
mocks at reform. For instance machine
ry takes the place of ingenuity and the
poor convict young or old becomes an
instrument a necessary brute force with
out which it would bo impossible to fatten -
ton the wallet of yo Gods the contractors.
Ilenco it is that the convict under the
contract system learns no trade , but sim
ply a branch ; for instance , some draw oil
the molten metal , others place it under
the _ trip hammers , others temper nnd
polish , and on his release what does your
criminal know nf a useful trade or branch
of industry ? Absolutely nothing. Ho
is behind the age , so to spoak. Ifocan
not enter a shop and compote with the
workmen on the outside without friends
and without money. Ho again becomes
o criminal inmate of nome institution
and yet your blatant philanthrop istio
legislators point to the politician's figures
calls it a paying institution. .Still there
are mutterings on the night air , .murdora
and arson. C'ritiio increases and the
buratintr bubble of reform leaves but an
empty name to mark its progress.
The same description as regards the ben
efit derived from his work shop uxpori-
encu may bo stud of the toiler in the
the shoo shop , the chair shop Arc. They
learn but n branch of a trade aild to bo
plain they do not learn that thoroughly.
They are slaves sold for a dollar , the
bond of the contractor like Hhylock of
Venice , is good , all ! so good , that their
lioarta blued with grief that ia born of
despair , when they realize as the writer
has often done , that his strength VTIIH nut
uquul to the task imposed upon him , and
thu punishment that followed revives In
this free country the deep dark memory
of the inquisition.
In the rear of the cell house under the
east stairway there a rope and pulley
simple in design , hut torrihlo in signifi
cance. This , good people of Iowa , istho )
modern thumb screw. Hero the poor
convict who lias broken perhaps only a
simple rule is dragged , his
thumbs are placed in two
leather coverings. A stool clamp is then
screwed around the middle joint of each
thumb , and the helpless victim of "man's
n humanity to man" U hoisted until , with
aturintr. bloodshot oyoa , ho hangs sus
pended between Heaven and earth ,
Blinding , raving. Hut 1 cannotdeaciibo
it. Language fails to picture such terri
ble sulltiring us I iiiynolf havu endured , I
leave it to those who have read of the
dark agea to imagine , if they can , such
deeds in this ago , among uch people ,
with such laws as wo are led to suppose
exist in the ctato of Jowo.
An illustration , and J am through for
the present. Once it wan my luck , or
rather misfortune , to see and hear the
cries arid agony of another , a.young man ,
a negro whoso nauio is Williams , well
known to many people of Omuha , and ho
stood bogging the deputy for morcyniidl
shall never forgot the brutal reply. "For
Oed eako , captain , pleaio do not Hiring
mo up. " "Qod Almighty has got nothing
to do with the inside workings of this in-
ititution. There is no limit to the pun
ishment we may inilict ; nooo whatever , "
I'ondor on it , yo legislators ! and you ,
yo blfttantroformcra ! think'of the increase
of crime. While you boost of the progress
you Imvo niado in reform , I denounce
your practice * as vain , ns n fraud aye ,
'tis worto ! By the living gods , 'tis rank
hypocri yl Youra , etc. .

Mi the H\o of
Diunimw Siicclnl to the ChlcnRo Newn.
A iiuaint little town westtof this city
is the acono of a romance in which an
heiress to a vast estate appears after a
quarter of a century and marries the son
of a man from whom her Inothor lied on
the eve of marriage.
Twenty live years ago n young English.
innn of happy ways and good demeanor
landed in the httlo town. Two weeks
later ho entered n store of general mer
chandise , where his politeness attracted a
largo patronage nnd made him a favorite
with his employers nnd rural society gen
erally. Among his customers was the
handsome liltlo blnck-oycd daughter of n
farmer who hnd made a half million dollars
lars in the silver mines of Colorado. The
clerk's attentions were opposed by the la
dy's father , nnd clandestine meetings fol
lowed. The young lady was soon sent to
n , boarding-school near Chicago , a stipu
lation nf her nttendnnco being that the
principal should inspect all her letters
except those bearing n certain mysterious
mark. The young couple who had ex-
pccted to carry on secret correspondence
wtro balllod , nnd , while neither could
hear from the other , they revered nn
oath that they hnd taken to remain true
to each other. After n year the young
man bocatno a victim of melancholia ,
which ended in his discharge from the
atoro and consequent disgrace in the
: ioighborhood. Ho walked to this city.
Lie overcame his malady , and , geltini ;
i situation in a wholesale house , soon
' on the confidence of hia employers and
was promoted to positions of importance.
Five years had gone since ho had soon or
icard from the little girl ho loved , when
10 was sent to the town In which ho met
icr Ho called on his old employers ,
and in a conversation learned that within
.wo weeks n grand nnrriago was to bo
consummated between n wealthy mer
chant ot the little place and Miss - ,
vhoso father had become rich in the
mines of Colorado. The lady was his old
sweetheart. Her name rekindled the ar-
lent nlfection ho had berne for her when
they were young. A clerk in the store
carried her a note nnd waited for this
reply :
DKAK Gr.oiuu : I have received your
eng and anxiously awaited note. Come
at once. Yours , aa over , JAM : .
George went. Ho promised to return
again as soon as ho could go to Dubuque
ana resign his situation. A week later ,
and within less than that time from her
marriage , the lady disappeared mystori-
outly and was never afterwards scon or
lioard from by her parents.
Three months ago a young lady arriv
ed in Jackson county , Iowa , "to seek her
fortune in the Far West , " ns she called
it. She procured a situation as teacher
in one of the country schools. Her ef
forts wcro attended with success. She
was accepted Into the society of her pat
rons , and two weeks ago \raa married tea
a rich young farmer. Ho is the son of
the wealthy merchant whoao betrothed
had forsaken him a quarter of a century
before. On her bridal trip the young la
dy visited the homo that her ranthor had
abandoned , and was given a brilliruit re
caption.
She remembers the story'of her raoth-
or's.olopomont. The young commercial
man returned his samples to the store at
Dubuquc , and , drawing all his money ,
bought u wagon , in which ho traveled to
the homo of his sweetheart. She mot
him in the outskirts of the town at the
time ho had appointed. They Jrovo to
Wisconsin nnd were married. His mon
ey was soon exhausted , and' ho sold the
rig to pay his way to Chicago. Ho and
his wife obtained work in an old hotel
that stood sotnowhoro on Clark street.
They saved enough money to take them
to Now York. His knowledge of com-
inorco helped him into situation as bro
ker's clork. Private speculation increas
ed hia income until ho had sufficient
money to go into business on his own ac
count. Ilia deals were not succossfu' ' ,
and within two years bankruptcy and
drink made him wholly destitute. His
father was nn .English nobleman and the
young man's early training hadimprcssod
a character which rebelled ngaiint such
life. Ho drowned himaelf in tno East
Ilivor. His wife and child were thrown
upon their own resources , nnd for two
years lived in misery. The mother died
in grief , and the child sold papers for n
living until she was picked up by the po-
lice. She w.is sent along with many oth
er wnifa to western Now York. A well-
to-do farmer adopted her and gave her a
Kood education. She wont West to earn
her livlihood , and until circumstances
aided her recollection aho waa not aware
that her now homo was the birthplace of
her mother. Her identity hue been es
tablished to the Hatisfuction of her grand
father , and ho will mention her in his
will. _

A Cjrcnt Moral Hliow ,
From the Detroit Free 1'rOHS ,
Two or throe weeks ago , a pedestrian
who was passing a house on Kiopollo
Street , heard the sounds of a terrific
struggle going on , nnd as ho looked in at
the front donr a boy about 1'J yearn ol
age , who sat in thu hall , quietly obser
ved :
"It's only the old folks , having a little
tlo row , stranger. "
"Do they have 'em often ? " asked the
man.
man."Almost ovpry day.1'
"If I were in your place I'd stand nt
the door hero nnd charge ten centi ad
mission fee. .It'H worth the monity to
BOO a family riot like this , nnd you might
us well inako n few dollars us to let the
chance slip. "
The boy said ho vrould think of it , and
the pedestrian waited until the man had
choked the woman as black as a plum
and then passed on. Yesterday ho pos
ted that way again , and there WM anoth
er row going on , and the name boy tat on
thu door-Btep.
"J'll tee the show , " said the man as ho
pulled out his wallot. "Has my ndvic
profiled you I"
"Sir.tngcr I can't tnko your money , "
replied the ' oy.

ATLANTA , Goo. , April 2(1. ( The Constitution -
stitution to-morrow will publish a curious
story told by Aloiizo hyon , and vouched
for by hundreds of thu best citizens ol
Do Kalb county , concerning what is
called "Judo's Light. " Mr. Lyon was
raised in Do Kalb county , ( .ia. , four
miles from Lithonia and about thirteen
miles from Atlanta , one-half milo from
Macedonia baptist church , on the Stone
Mountain and Flat Shoals road. It is
in a quiet rural hamlet , on a farm form
erly owned by his grandfather , Edmund
Bunt , deceased , then after his death
bought by Mr. hyon's brother-in-lnw ,
Mr. ilartmnn , and now owned by Mr.
David Mo Williams , that "Judo's Light"
nnkoa its regular appearance.
About forty years ago a man named
lloid owned the farm , and ho also owned
k negro woman by the name of Judo.
Lloid had Judo punished for some ofl'enco
ly placinghor in closo.confinuinont and on
very short rations. Mr. Lyon'a mother ,
who now resides with him , was n young
girl , and says she remembers slipping
loiiio food to poor Jnde , and will never
'orgot the eagerness with which the fain-
shod \vomui : devoured it. Judo finally
died , it is believed , from the ollocts of
cruel tcoatmont and deprivation of food.
She was buried in the woods on n hill
side , across a branch , about 1100 ymds
'roili the house occupied by lleid's fnm-
ly. No 0110 else was buried there , and
; ho grave to this day Ia n solitnry one.
Soon after the burial "Judo's light" ap
peared emanating troiu the grave and
ivandorod about the house and promises
at all times of the night. The "light"
manifested so much intelligence and
struck such terror into the hearts of the
lloid family that they sold all their pos
sessions and hastily loft theatate of Geor
gia. The light has continued to ap
pear frequently from that time to this ,
but never seemed to inspire terror and
uneasiness in tlio breasts of others nor
visit the dwellings often. After Edmund
Bunt , grandfather of Mr. Lyon , purchas
ed the Reid farm Mr. Lyon lived several
years with him. Ho saw the "light"
probably a thousand times , at all times ,
at all seasons of the year and in all kiiul
weather. So also did his mother , broth
ers and sisters. Many of the noighbori
Imvo been present occasionally am
watched it. The Iluid dwelling is situat
ntod in the fork of two small streams
which ilow together and form Poll Bridge
creek , a short distance below the house
The bottom land along the crook is here
very broad and extensive , and cover trill
a dense growth of cano and bushes. A
Hold has boon cleared between Judge's
grave and the dwelling , so that the grave
could bo scon from the house.
"Judo's light" always seemed to come
atraight up out of the grave , eight or ton
foot high , and keeping about the same
distance from thu ground , it would float
slowly oft'up or down the swnmp , or to
ward the house , or up thu hill througl :
the woods. It would often glide nboul
for nn hour or so in sight , then suddenly
go straight down out of view. At sucl
times , said Mr. Lyon , ho and others had
started for the grave with the intention
of boating this "light" there in order to
sco what it was , if possible , but none Imi
over succeeded in doing so. By the tmio
they had taken ton stops in the direction
of the grave they would see the "light , "
returning toward that point with railway
speed , reach it before the would bo in
vestigators were fairly "started. It inva
riably paused an instant over the grave ,
then drop straight down and disappeared.
A visit there immediately afterward revealed -
vealed no phosphorescent , or other
lights. Mr. Lyon described the "light"
as about the si/.e of a man's double fist ,
of a aomowhat , reddish tinge , sparkling
somewhat , but not very brilliant , and
only slightly illuminating the bushes and
trees in passing along.
The nearest Mr. Lyon was oyor to
"Judo'a light , " wan about the distnnco
from the dwelling to the small stream in
the direction of the grave soy 100 yards.
His brother-in-law , Mr. Hurtman , who
owned the place after Edmuhda Bunt's
death , nnd lived on it until 187' ' ! , wan
once within six or eight paces of it. Tim !
night his wife and her sister , MrH , Thom
as Maze , and himself were all awakonot
from sound sloop just after midnight by
some mysterious sensation , and on look
ing out into the yard they saw a very
unusual illumination , Mr. Ilartmim
opened the door , and there in the
yard ; was the familiar ball of reddish ,
sparkling light. It remained stationery
a few seconds , then slowly glided off in
thu direction of the gravo. Mr. Hurt-
man aaid ho was not partlculary scared ,
nor were the ladies , but each felt they
had been awakened by this unusual approach
preach of the "light "
"Judo's light" differs from the phosphorescent -
phoroscont lights of the swamp * in many
respects. It is always about the name
size , always keeps about the same dia-
tunco from the ground , and travels
aiminst or in opposite direction to the
strongest winds. It also appears in the
dryest and hottest , aa well as the coldeat
and stormiest of the weather. It rarely
appears , hownvcr , in Htormy weather ,
which might bo taken to bo another in
dication of intelligence , Phosphorosconl
lights , it is well known , can only travel
witli the wind , and also vary greatly in
ai/.e nnd appearance.
Mr. Tlioimw Mi/.o , of Atlanta , a broth
er-in-law of Mr. Lyon , waa present whet
the foregoing was related , and conlinnoi
it in every particular. Ho lived on thu
Held farm for two or three , and believe ?
ho had Been "Judo's light" nt least i'.CC
nights during the time. The "light" if
not been in the uirlicr part of the night ,
hut both Mr. Lyon and Mr. Mi/.o thougl
it could bo fieon ai BOIUO hour ever ;
night if u watch were kept for it ,
