A men Is said to have caused tbs banns of marriage to be published la -- Yorkshire church between himself and a lady to whom be was not engaged, end who bad no intention of marrying him. The man, it eras all-come to the end of hi eged,-had credit, and astonished the town by having the banns published between himself and n rich lady who be had ascertained was on the continent At once his credit was revived. the prison doors are opened and a convict who has for years been deprived ot his freedom, who has been housed in a narrow, cheerless cell, and has worked and messed with other convicts, is let out of the prison office n free man. It is n seen which lew people except the prison officials witness at Sing Sing, because the "graduation exercises" always take place there early In the morning, says the New York Tribune. Tbe man whose misdeeds bring him behind the gray granite walls of Sing Bing, If he la a "new man," with no experience in the rite, goes through the Initiation in a dazed manner. He answers questions as to his history In a mechanical way and when he reaches the bands of the prison keepers he goes through the forms of weighing, bathing, having his beard aliaved and his hair cropped with a child-lik- e docility and lnpiosL lnstjEres he realize hi true position only after the door of a cell has closed upon blm and he looks upon the garments In which he has been clothed and tbe place which will be home to him until the weary years have dragged away. Then the bully becomes the baby, and men who have braved danger In the pursuit of spoils break down and the guards as they pass tbe cells of the new man do not stop when they bear sobs and even ahrteka of despair, because they come in the regular order of things, Then Comes assignment to such work ss the convict may be fitted for and tbe first evidence that the new man Is becoming accustomed to his surroundings and In a measure reconciled to his condition Is when he begins to figure how much he will "get off" for good conduct and when his term will expire. It matters little whether ths man comes for three or for thirteen years, ths calculation goes on Just the samel it la always ths first thing la the mind of the prisoner, and, as the term Jraws to n close, months are counted, then weeks end finally days, and the strain becomes greater aa the day of liberation draws near. Men who had been apathetic, who had acquired the prison languor, brace up; they eat well, work well and even In the lockstep with their fellows they show the invigorating effect of the vision ot freedom which la coming nearer dally. A few weeks before ths expiration 'is of the term the fa structed to skip the man.

Receipts are signed, the men warned not to come back before tbe commutation time has expired, because In that case they would have to do the time; such trinkets, money or other valuable property as they may have had when they were received are handed over to them, and with that last act the convict Is free. The prison authorities jhave really no further Jurisdiction, but in order to protect the men against themselves & keeper is eret with them to the station. They walk along the road and then take a short cut by way of a steep hill, called Breakneck, to the station. Some mesare dumb from excitement, and others art so exhilarated that It is only by an effort that they refrain from shouting; They talk about the new clothes, ths high collars, and when the station comes In sight the question Is usually asked: "Shall I have time to get a drink before the train starts?" A drink and a bunch of cigarettes are the first purchases of nearly every ei convlct. and the they make anxious Inquiry as to where the train stops. AH prefer to leave the train at cither One Hundred and Twenty-fift- h street, or One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street, and few men fresh from Sing Sing are willing to stay In the car till they reach the Grand Central station. Formerly discharged convicts were met at tbe prison gates or in the village by a band of men who made that a business. They knew that tha men had money, that they were thirsty and they were ready to help them spend the one and quench the other. Tho consequence was that many were arrested on the day ot tbetr discharge and some were returned as prisoners before they had a chance to see their friends.
