have reached the open air. The rascals are
continually devsing methods for escape, and
last evening while we were in the police of

Among the highest woods and deep

seems quite unnatural 1t is like the
distant and solemn tolling of church

though constantly heard in the most

PREDICTED FALL OF NAPOLEON III.
In the autobiography of a Wesleyan
minister, just issued in Canada, we
notice the following calculation, which
is very curious. 1t was communlcat-
ed by a Frenchman to an English
friend. Fall of Robespierre in the
year 1894. Repeat 1894 in single fig
ures, and add the whole, and you have
the fall of Napoleon l., 1915. Repeat
as before, and you have the fall of
Charles X, 1880. Repeat, and you
have the fall of the Duke of Orleans,
1912. Repeat and yon have in this
year, Louis Napoleon will fall, 1857.

PETITION FOR CoMPENs ALTON FOR DAM
AGEs.-We learn, says the San Francisco
Sun, that ]. W. Sullivan, the Prince of
newsmen in California, has issued o printed
petition to Congress for indemnifcation to
the amount of $12,351 rs, for losses sus
tanned in his business by the repeated fail
ures of the Great Southern Mail between
New Orleans and San Francisco By the
sworn statement annexed to the petition, he
shows an actual loss of cash to the above
amount, paid out for papers which did not
arrive here, through the repeated failures of
this mail, for weeks and sometimes monthe
after they were due. This loss is owing sole
ly, he AYERS, to the non compliance of the
mail contractor to fulfil his contract with the
Postofice Department, hence he believes that
he has legal and equitable claim upon Con-
gress for the loss he has sustained, and pe-
titions for indemniication. 1t is to be hoped
that Congress will afford him justice in the
matter, and grant him such relief as honor
and good faith may dictate. Mr.. Sullivan
has struggled long and arduously in his bu-
sness here, merting and receiving the re-
spect and confidence Of all who know him.
