CHAPTER 1.-THE PRISONER.


Descending down seven stone steps, crowd
ed with an iron door, the heavy footsteps of
two men, with clank of iron chain between
them, were heard. Daylight shed its last
sweet beam on that iron door, and ten long
years must pass ere it could bestow another on
one of those who walked there then. But not
the sunlight parting sadly with him at that
dOor-for it grew faint to death tben-nor the
cold cheer of windowless granite, the dull light
Of the lantern, nor the savage face, (more saw
age in that light) of his conductor, sent any
thrill to the young felon's heart, or touched it
with emotion. Anger was in his
scornfuI face, wrath in his proud heart, wrath
in his gestures and on his blasphemous
tongue.

\ SEA DEvIL.-A sea devil was caught on
the coast of England recently, which, says
the Greenock Advertiser, is anything but cap
tivating. 1t is fat /; four feet eight inches in
length; two feet six inches in breadth its
mouth, in which there is single row of cum
dated sharp teeth, measures l2aa inches hori-
zontal, and, when its jaws are fully opened, it
measures betwixt the lower and upper 165
inches; on its belly, near the lower part OF
the head, are two hands, having five fingers
on each distinctly exhibited, and webbed.
1t has also two anterior fins, and two lateral
bags of great capacity, with one of triangu-
lar form on the belly. 1t weighs about eighty
pounds. 1t is altogether formidable and
strange looking fish, and the name by which
it is known is not inappropriate.

WSheriff Smith, of Peoria county, Illinois,
started on Saturday night, with five prisoners
for Alton, and when two miles above BeRds-
town, Archie Mcdonald, Scotchman by birth
and noted burglar, and one Houston, managed
while in bed, about 10 O'Clock in the night, to
sever the chain which united them, and they
both sprang overheard while the officer started
to get them drink of water. 1t was general
ly supposed they were drowned.

The MANuFAcrURE OF MoLAssEs FROM SUGAR
CAsE.-The Cincinnati Gazette has = eommu-
nication from Warren county agriculturfet
who gives some straightforward practicable
ideas upon the culture Of sugar cane and the
manufacture of syrup. he says:
son our farm in Warren county we planted
an acre of sugar cane the last week in May.
1t grew finely-tall and plump. We let the
stalks become ripe, seeds well matured and
brown ripe, for the better matured and ripen-
ed stalks all the better-even frost or two
thrown in will make the juice the sweeter and
more of it. We then cut them; cut the tops
and stripped the blades off-we then ground
them in common cider mill, placing the
grinding apparatus near together as possi-
bic. Running through a couple of times,
took out all the juices full pint to the stalk
on an average. We then strained the juice
cleverly, placed it in kettles, and commenced
the boiling operation. We put into each
thirty gallons, on beginning to boil, table
spoonful of ofiicnal lime water, (lime and wa
ter mixed will do) adding the same OCCASION
ally, and skimming off the gree1 scum when-
ever it arose. About four tablespoonfuls Of
iiuiO natSi ~ INT SaliOAS - SuuCicHt,
though it is better too much than not enough.
Going on in this way for eight or ten hours,
we had pure, beautiful and finely tasted mo-
lasses. 1t is no more difficult to make syrup
from the sugar cane than to make It from the
maple tree-the one being just as simple as
the other. Two three strainings, proper
attention to skimming, ,reH boiling, the prop
er addition of lime water to neutralizs tho
acid, and we have just as good molasses, bet
ter than what we now pay one dollar a gallon
for.'' NV
Two gentlemen residing in Wabash county,
Illinois, write to the Chicago Press, Oct. I'd,
that they are making a barrel of superior Sor-
ghum molasses daily, and shall continue to do
so until cold weather. They also say that the
fodder saved will pay the expense of raising
the cane. They have twenty acres of the
cane, and the yield will be about one Hundred
gallons to the acre, of syrup superior to Lou-
isiana.

THE BRITISH EAST INDIA CoMPASV.-Accor-
ding to recent and authentic documents, this
company now rules, directly or indirectly an
empire of 100000 square miles, with popu-
lation of more than Ice, ,0O0, 900. The nomiaaI
money capital of the company is set down at
$50, 900 900, and its annual revenues are estima-
ted at Sl35 100000. The salaries of the prin-
cipal officers are: Governor General, SIZE,
000-perquisites, 100000; Members of Gov.
ernor's Council, S4S,0 900; Bishops, $I2 900 to
$4,000; Law Judge, go in number,) sI5, 900.
Collectors and Magistrates, (45 in number,)
from $4,000 to $4,000. In striking contrast
with these graet salaries is the pay of the
native soldiers. being eleven cents per day.
The standing military force of this powerful
company is about three hundred thousand men,
European and natives-the former the flower
of the British army. The department of the
typographical engineers is remarkable for its
skill and efficiency, and has done much for
the material development of the country.
Railroads completed and in construction, now
span the whole extent of the empire, from Car
natic to the Himalayas, opening brilliant
prospect for the agriculturist at no distant
future. There are also in operation at the
present time more than four thousand miles
of the magnetic telegraph, with which coz
nection will soon be made along the southern
coast of Arabia, aad through Egypt, submar-
lining the Red Sea, with the Mediterranean
lines, thus communicating directly with the
whole of the western world. There is special
interest attached to this company, at this mo-
ment, growing out of the terrible rebellion
now fearfully progressing in India, for upon
the company devolves the momentous duty of
stopping the progress of the insurrection, and
the heavy responsibility of its consequences.

.sHINNING" ON THE STREET.

no following lines. very appropriate just nov
rom the New York Evening Post.
Rushing round the corners,
Chasing every friend,
Plunging into banks
Nothing there to lend
Piteously begging
OF every man you meet;
Bless me this is pleasant.
Shining on the street
Merchants very short,
Turning neck and neck,
Want 70 keep a going,
Praying for check;
DabDlers in stocks.
Blue as blue can be,
Evidently wishing
They were fancy free"
All our splendid railroads
Got such dreadful knocks,
Twenty thousand Bulls
Couldn't raise their stocks;
Many Of the Bears,
In the trouble sharing,
Vow begin TO feel
They've been over-Bearing.
Risky speculators
TumbIing with the shock,
Never mind stopping
More than any clock;
Still they give big dinners,
Smoke and drink and sup,
Going all the better
For winding-up-
Banking institutions,
Companies of trust
With other people money,
Go of or d "bust;"
Houses of long standing
Crumbling in night
With so many ''smashes,"
No wonder moneys tight.
Gentlemen Of Means
Having lots to spend
Save little sympathy.
Nothing have to lend;
Gentlemen in want
Willing to pay double
Find they can borrow
Nothing now but trouble.
Half our mon of business
Wanting an extension,
While nearly all the others
Contemplate suspension
Many of them, though,
Don't appear to dread it;
Bvery cent they owe
1s so much to their credit.
Brokers are all breaking,
Credit all is cracked,
Women all expanding
As the banks contract.
Panic still increasing
Where viii the trouble end.
While all hands want to borrow,
And nobody can lend
Running round the corners,
Trying every source;
Asking AT the banks
Nothing there. Of course
Money getting tighter,
Misery complete
Bless me this is pleasant,
"shinning" on the street.
