But I sturdily stood my ground and even had the audacity to suggest that as we were in for a tempest now anyhow, we might just as well 'cap, the climax' by giving the stern Principal and his gentle assistant a grand salute a la snekzb whec they made their appeannce. Shortly af terward we heard the sound of approaching feet. , j ... ,. 'The Saints protect us now' piously ejaculated Ljdia.'

The Principal looked at us perfectly aghast..! At last: the matter ap peared to him from a ridiculous point of view, And he burst Into an immoderate fit of laughter, and waving his handkerchief at us he exclaimed:' 'Hold! hold I I surren der.' Astonished at this unexpected lenien cy we immediately qut ited down, subsl-J ded into a state of calm indiffennce. It is needless to add that we were pardoned on the condition that we would, hereafter Confine our fun to the play grounds and out of school hqurs. : Of course we acceded to Ihe proposition, and from thenceforward the Seminary was as orderly as a teacher could wish for,' but Lydia Stanford always declared that' Madame' Q's. faca grew' thrpn inches longer after she found that our wild freak was to go unpunished.

The shower balh at Moyamensing has been used three limes in seven years. - It effects are to shock the nevous system and weaken the entire body. One woman was lately put into the bath test. She is known as Jenny Lind,ar.dis designated by one of the wardens as the most abandoned woman in the world. - She has been in the prison more than ajiundrcd timeb! chiefly for vagrancy, and is beyond all reformation. She seems at times to be possessed with a demon. On Wednesday last she leaped upon Mr. Sargent, the warden of ihe female depart, ment, nnd tore his mouth in a savage manner. The assault was entirely unprovoked. She is said to be very deceptive. She was placed in the shower bath for an exhibition of heinous wickedness, Hi the end of ten minutes' purishment, asked . if she! would behave. ' She - said, with an oath, I that she would not, nnd demanded to be punished again. , . : ' 1 The bath .was again applled-rbul' she was still iniserrioible. VVhen brought forth again she was almost lifeless, and bu fir the application of i prompt . restoratives would have been, no lorger a trouble to the authorities.
