Death in the Penitentiary.

John Philips, alias Aaron Crowder
died suddenly in the Ohio Penitentiary
on the 18Th inst, where he has been a
prisoner for the last q years. He was
sent there for life. for killing q man in a
drunken frolic, at Hamilton, in 1881
For the last ten years be was a cripple,
and was treated by the officers as a priv
iledged character, and allowed to do pref
ty much as he pleased. He could never
be prevailed upon to 20 outside of the
prison walls, fearing the gates would be
closed upon him, and prevent his return.
He will be remembered as the old fellow
who attended the bear. In this way he
picked up considerable change from stran-
gers. which he boarded with misery care.
He was ever in dread Of being robbed by
his associates, and to protect himself kept
fire arms of his own manufacture in his
cell, which no one but himself was per-
mitted to enter. After his death a thick
heavy belt was found around his body,
containing 100 half dollars, and As cents
in change, which he no doubt carried
about him for years; for fear of being
robbed. In his cell were stored away
about a cart load Of miscellaneous arti-
Giles, which he had gathered up during his
long Imprisonment. He was a great ia
vorite in the prison, and his death is re-
GREETED by all connected with the cstal-
lishment. He was born in Virginia in
1901, but nothing is known Of his early
history.

Great Ingratitude.

A case was brought to our ears on Sat,
urday which constitutes one of the most
fragrant eases Of flial ingratitude to
which we have ever listened. The facts
are that a youth of Is, named Charles
Bishop, who was an only son and whose
mother was a widow" and who was EN-
ployed, not long ago, in the counting
room OF the Girard House, has rendered
his mother penniless by has rascality.-
The lady alluded to is a Mrs. TIa@ccs
Bishop, residing in the Twentieth ward
A short time ago she sent the young man
TO one Of the Banks to deposit $780,
Instead of doing so, he ven with the mon
ey TO New York, where he spent it in a
Found af excuses. He returned home
penniless and apparently penitent. He
was lovingly forgiven !; but during the
time Of the recent panic, when his moth
er had withdrawn her funds from the
bank, he forced open the trunk where it
was deposited, and fed to New York with
the entire sum $4,000 in gold. He was
traced to New York, and thence to Balti-
more, but no further tidings have been
gained as tohis whereabouts. The un-
fortunate mother is now left literally
penniless. So base an illustration Of
ingratitude is rarely found existing, even
in works Of fiction. -Phiia. Norh finer,

Narrow Escape from the Gallows

In connection with the late singular
case of a supposed murder in Connecticut
wherein an freshman came very near be-
ing hung OF a charge of killing a young
man named Sage, who had secretly left
his home and set up as a schoolmaster
near Allamuchy, in this State-the Ocean

gular, which occurred about forty years
ago:
Two brothers named Bovine and a
brother-ia-law named Richard Colvin. liy-
ing at Manchester, VT, got into an alter
cation one day in a field, and the two
brothers attacked Colvin and beat him Sc
yerely with hoes. Colvin left the field
bleeding profusely, and the brothers were
afraid they had killed him. As Colyin
disappeared it was rumored in the neigh
borhood that they had murdered him, and
made way with the body, but nothing was
done until seven years afterwards, when
some evidence turning up they were tried,
convicted, and one sentenced to be hung,
and the other to State Prison fof life
The Bovine who was sentenced to be hung
actually made a confession that they. had

from Monmouth County, N. j.. happening

c )unt of the trial, became convinced that
the man said to be murdered was in real

Toms River and Squan. He sent word
on to Manchester to tina: effect. The man
supposed to be and who afterwards prov

been living about seven years with Taber

afterwards returned to Monmouth County

him. The Bovine who confessed to the
murder afterwards stated that he was in

punishment changed to Imprisonment for
life.

Vidoca's Last Exploit.

The last exploit Of Vidocq. the famouI
French Detective. who died quite lately
in Paris, is said to have been as follows:
A rich merchant went to him to consul
on a deficit Of 10000 francs which ht
found on his books. Vidocq demanded
What is the age Of your cashier?'
twenty-five. But | am sure of hin
as Of myself; he has also been robbed
He is a victim like myself"
Are you married."
Yes"
How old is your wife! Is she hand
some! is she honest?"
"Oh, sir, my wife is virtue itself-hon-
orably attached to me above
Never mind all that; your cashier is
twenty-five; is your wife handsome?"
Since you insist upon knowing. she is
handsome, but
Butt butt nc matter about the butsi-
You wish to find your money, don't you?
aud you have confidence in me?"
OF course | have, since l am here!"
Very well go back home, make be
lieve that you are going on a journey, and
introduce me into the house..
This was done; the merchant left home,
and Vidocq hid himself in the closet near
the chamber Of the lady. Breakfast was
served, a young man was shown in, and
was thus addressed by madame:
Very well, Arthur he is gone but he
suspects us, and VIC are lost"
The rival Of Carpenter went over a
long TRADE of love, and desolation, con
Guiding with these words:
"Only one road is left open to us; let
US tako what remains and embark for
for"
Vidocq stepped out Of his place Of con.
cealment. Tableaul
my children be calm, or I'll break
both your heads" said Vidoco. 1--WE
understand each other, / suppose?p Now
tell me where is the stolen money?"
We have only 100000 francs left" re.
piled the woman
Are you telling the truth?"
"Oh, | swear it."
"Very well! Give it to me.n The
money was handed over.
Now, then, let this affair be forgotten
never speak of it to your husband, and he
shall know nothing. As for you sir, give
ME your delicate little thumbs" He
placed handouts on the gentleman, con
Quoted him to Havre, put him on a ship
bound for America, and left him with the
French adieu, &c and hang yourself else
where"
Vidocq came back to Paris, and hand
ed the 100 900 francs to the merchant
saying, " Your cashier was the thief, but
he had spent $4,000 francs of the money
with a ~danseuse; I embarked him for
New York" Afterwards no happier fam
lily was ever known thar that Of the mer.
chant.

Sensation produced by Hanging.

An immense number of persons recov.
cred from insensibility, have recorded
their sensations, and agree that an easier
end could not be desired. An acquaint-
ance. of Lord Bacon's who meant to hang
himself. was cut down in the last extrem-
ty. and declared that he felt no pain, his
only sensation being that Of FIRE before
his eyes, which changed first to black,
and then to a sky-blue, affording a source
of pleasure. Montagnac, hanged in
France, during the religious wars. and
rescued at the intercession Of Turenne,
complained that, having lost all pain on
the instant, he had been taken from a
light of which the charm defined all de
scription. Another who escaped by the
breaking Of the rope, said that after a
second of suffering, a fire appeared, and
arose in a most beautiful avenue of trees.
Henry w. of France sent his physician
to question him, and wnen a pardon was
talked of, the man answered eoldly that
it was not worth the asking. The uni
formity of the descriptions renders it
useless to multiply instances. They fill
pages of every book of medical jurispru-
dence. All agree hat the uneasiness is
quite momentary, that a pleasurable
sensation Immediately succeeds colors Of
various hue start up before the sight. and
these having been gazed on for a trivial
space, the rest is oblivion.

The wind and stream.

A brook came stealing from the ground
You scarcely saw its siIvery CLEAN
Amengthe herbs that hung around
The borders of chat winding stream
a pretty stream, u placid stream,
A softly gliding, bashful stream.
A breeze came wandering from the sky,
Light as the whispers of a dream
he put the exchanging grasses by,
And gayly stopped to kiss the stream.
The pretty stream, the tlattercd stream,
The shy, yet uhreluctant stream.
The water, as the wind passed DER,
Shot upward many a CHANGING beam,
Dimpled and quivered more and more,
And tIippled along a lirelier stream
The Aattered stream, the slumbering stream
The fond, delighted, silly stream.
Away the airy wanderer few,
To where the fields with blossoms TEEN,
To sparkling springs and rivers blue,
Aud left alone that little stream
The 1attered stream, the cheated stream,
The sad, forsaken, lonely stream.
That careless wind no more came back;
He wanders yet the fields, l deem;
But on its melancholy track
Complaining went the little stream
The cheated stream, the hopeless stream,
The eycr-murmuring, moaning stream.
