An article reports on the condition of prisons in Philadelphia. Other articles include: a report on problems of separating church and state in the public schools of South Carolina; a tidbit on the death of the Prussian Minister to the United States, Baron Greuhm; various updates from other newspapers across the country; and the first installment of "The Millner's Shop," a Russian comedy by Ivan Krilof.
