We are stopping quietly here, taking our meals in our rooms mostly, and going out verylittle indeed. When I say we, I use the term editorially.We notice first of all the great contrast between this and other hotels, and in severalinstances this one is superior. In the first place, there is a sense of absolute security whenone goes to sleep here that can not be felt at a popular hotel, where burglars secretethemselves in the wardrobe during the day and steal one's pantaloons and contents atnight. This is one of the compensations of life in prison.

This is one of the compensations of life in prison. Here the burglars go to bed at the hour that the rest of us do. We all retire at the same time, and a murderer can not sit up any later at night than the smaller or unknown criminal can. You can get to Ludlow Street Jail by taking the Second avenue Elevated train to Grand street, and then going east two blocks, or you can fire a shotgun into a Sabbath-school. You can pay five cents to the Elevated Railroad and get here, or you can put some other man's nickel in your own slot and come here with an attendant. William Marcy Tweed was the contractor of Ludlow Street Jail, and here also he died. He was the son of a poor chair-maker, and was born April 3, 1823. From the chair business in 1853 to congress was the first false step. Exhilarated by the delirium of official life, and the false joys of franking his linen home every week, and having cake and preserves franked back to him at Washington, he resolved to still further taste the delights of office, and in 1857 we find him as a school commissioner.
