Personal.
OSCAR Wilde, when confined in Holloway Prison, was entirely broken down, neglected his toilet and his clothes, and talked incessantly, the burden of his plaint being that he ought to be let out on bail. He was compelled to clean his cell and obey the regulations like an ordinary prisoner. For the first fortnight his friends were very attentive, calling upon and sending him books, fruit, flowers, and dainties, but now they have all deserted him.
