A Lucky Discovery.

One day last week the keeper Of the State
Prison had occasion 10 visit the cell Of Shields
the English burglar, who is confined for II
years. As he left the cell he put his hand
against the inner door, and discovered that il
was blackened by coming in contact with the
iron. He asked Shields what made the door
dirty, who replied it was warm day and he
supposed the iron was sweaty. The keeper
thought it was so, but on washing mis- hands
found they were greasy, and Immediately sus-
pected something was wrong. On eXamIna-
tion, it was discovered that the convict had cut
from each corner of the hole in his cell door IN
such way that four pieces could be broken
out. leaving an aperture Of sufficient size for
him to pass through. The cuts had beer
daubed up with blackened tallow, and the mere
accident of the keeper touching the greasy sub.
stance disclosed the secret On being found
out, Shields told the keeper he was a lucky
man, for iii very few days he would have beer
at liberty.
He had a cane rope manufactured, with q
hammer on the end to throw over the wall. He
had also made two "bllies,n and his idea was
TO watch an opportunity when but two men were
on duty, knock them both down, carry them IN,
to cell and lock them, and then scale III,
wall
BY his own acknowledgement, he undoubted
ly contemplated murder, and an awful TRACED,
was thus prevented by the timely discovery 0
bis intentions. The situation Of keeper OF tn
State Prison is by no means an enviable one
and we intend shortly TO give some account o
the various troubles and annoyances to whic
they are subjected from the constant attempts O
the williams confined, to make their escape.

THE WAY TO STOP IT.

In Philadelphia, one day lately, respectable
locking man, by the name Of Richard Suttle,
who occasionally gets drunk, was before Judge
Kelly for sentence, having been convicted of an
! assault and battery with intent TO kill. He had
stabbed an acquaintance in fight, in four dis
/, iinct places. Judge Kelly, in sentencing him,
said
3, at was my duty, few days since, 10 SEN
tence a man to II years Imprisonment, for using
a knife Just as you did. His case grew out Of
a meeting with number of his aequaintances
(. at a drinking shop on Sunday. The place was
I. full and the fight was with an acquaintance
: Just your case, precisely. Yours occurred near
the same place. But there was this difference
in your case; the man you stabbed was able to
be in court to testify against yeu--nOt because
you did not try to kill him; but because you hap
psned to strike the fleshy parts of his body; the
other sent his victim TO another world. BY the
., merest chance you were saved twelve years inn
prisonment. You have proved good charac-
ter when you are sober. When yOH get out OF
prison, and about TO drink again, Just think that
you see the galloWS at the bottom OfMe glass
The use Of the knife has become too common
and we intend TO make an effort TO stop it,
therefore shall give you sentence proportions
ate to our rule, and fix the period at seventeen
months in the eastern peuteniary. This is th'
penalty Of getting drunk"

E57-Not long since Covington girl, pretty
and accomplished, attended ball, in that city.
She at once attracted the notice of a two Legged
ANIMAL miscalled man, who proposed 10 her
as partner in the dance. This individual had
great respect for position in society; so after
some conversation on Indifferent subjects, he
asked our young lady what profession her fa-
ther followed. She, fully appreciating the mo-
tive which prompted the inquiry, promptly re-
piled that he was a "wood sawyer" This was
altogether too much for the two legged animal,
and he bolted, not noticing his acquaintance
was the daughter of one of the wealthiest citi.
zens in the town, and her father was mahog-
anv dealer, saving out his own stock. The
boIter subsequently found out how beautifully

"FAer, AGE.

The following is too good 10 be lost
It illustrates ore of the peculiaries OF this fast
age:'
An old lady in Cincinnati had large quantity
OF bacon to ship to New Orleans, where she
was going herself, to buy supplies, She sip-
ulated with the Captain of steamer that he
should have her freight provided he would not
RACE during the trip. The Captain consented,
and the old lady came aboard. After the second
day out, another steamer was seen close astern
(with which the Captain had been racing all
the time) and would every now then come up
10 the old lady's boat, and then fall back again,
The highest excitement prevailed among the
passengers, as the two boats continued for near
ly day almost side by side. AT last the old
lady, partaking of the excitement, called the
Captain and said, Captain, you amt going to
let that thar old boat pass us, are you?
"Why, shall have to- Madam, as | agreed
not to race"
"Weil, you can just try it little, that won't
hurt"
"But, Madam, to tell you the truth, |
did"
Gracious! but do try it little mere--see
the old boat is almost even with US, and loud
cheer arose from the passengers on the cold
boat"
81 can't raise any more steam, Madam
Ias all the tar and pine knots are burnt up"
GOOD gracious, what shall we do; see, the
old boat is passing us. Is there nothing else on
board that will make stcam?"
Nothing, Madam-eh, eh, Gas if new idea
struck him) except your bacon"
"Throw in the bacon," shrieked the old lady
throw in the bacon, Captain, and beat the old
boatr'

THE FORCE OF THE IHAGNATION,

An extract OF letter from gentleman of
Williams College to the editor of the Spring
field Gazette, certfes TO the effect Of the i'm
agnation in producing palpable results, as fol-
lows:
An amusing incident occurred here on Friday
last, creating great sport, an account OF which
may not be uninteresting to your readers. The
Professor of Chemistry, while administering in
the course of his lectures the ProtoXide of Nj.
Itrogen, or, as il is commonly called, laughing
gas, in order TO ascertain how great an influence
the Imagination had in producing the effects
consequent ON respirIng it, secretely filled The
India rubber gas bag with common air ins,eat
of gas. Il was taken without suspicion, anC
the effects if anything were more powerful
than in those who had really brealhed the pur,
gas One complSined that i produced nauses
and dizziness; another Immediately manifested
Ipugliste propensilies, and before he could b
restrained, tore in pieces the coat of one Of Obi
Ibystanders, while a third exclaimed "this
life. / never enjoyed it before" The laugh
ter that followed the exposure Of this gaseou
trick may be imagined.
Sir Humphrey Dlvy, being once about al
lnlinisterng this gas to a person afflicted wi,
paralysis, applied the bull Of thermometert
his mouth, in order to ascertain the temporarily

A gentl man who is a strong advocate

hearing descanting upon The disastrous re.
suits that would flow to the country from
an adverse vote on the proposition to be
submitted at the election on Monday next.
He said the position Of Hancock at the

he once heard. A poor drunken wretch
went to hear a Universalist preach. The
preacher argued that no matter how de-
graded or abandoned a man might be, he
would still be saved The drunkard be

BIRDS PULLING UP CoRN-Last spring
planted six acres of corn, and when it be-
gan to come up, l found lhat.the birds were
going TO pull it all up, and TO prevent them,
! got five pounds Of saltpetre and soaked
one and a.half bushels of corn in it for
twelve hours, and then sowed it over my
ground, with the expectation of killing the
birds, but found none dead, But it an
swered my purpose, they picked up the
corn and let that be which was coming up
and by the time they had eaten all the corn
which had sowed, that which had plant

An English paper states that disseria'
ton lately read before the Royal Society
by Mr.. Toynbee contains some particulars
Interesting to deaf people. Much of the
deafness that occurs is found to be caused
by an aperture having formed in the drum
of the ear; in such cases. if an artificial
drum, made of vulcanised India rubber ol
gutta percha be introduced, the cavity i
again closed, and the power of hearing i
considerably restored. 1t is hardly neces
sary to add, that the old notions about Ger
tain little bones beating on the tympanum
drummeI-wise are altogether faiiacions.
