But the astonished Spaniard did not
seem inclined to do SO. A man, who
swallowed carvingsknives as he would
sardinesj and who caught pistol balls bcs

for him to duel with. While he was
pondcrihg upon what lie had seen, Joe
took a handful of bullets from his pock.

throat, and when these were gone he
picked up some half dozen good sized
stones, and sent them after the bullets.

As he thus spoke, he turned on his
heel and hurried away from the place.
After he was gone, Joe beckoned for me
to give him the knives. 1 did SO, and
then saw him slip them up his coat sleeves.
When we returned to the cafe he ap.
preached the keeper.
"fo GU want your knives?" he said.
But the poor fellow dared not speak.
Joe put his hand to his right car a d
pulled cut one of the long knives. Then
from his left ear he drew the other. The

shrank trembling away. But we ini b ID

Ever after that, while We remained at

curiosity and terror on shore, for an ac-
count, all colored to suit the exaggerated
conception of the cafe keep; had been

1.-THE Union Office who escaped
from Richmond were iifty-one days in
digging their passage out. Having man.
aged to find access to the cellar they com.
menced work, relieving one another as
opportunity offered. Their instruments
were case knives, pocket knives; chisels
and files. Twice they had to abandon
their work and Commence anew on &C.
count Of the o5structions which could
not be passed.. They had hope to avail
themselves Of 4 culvert, but it was inn
practlble, After getting through tho
wall they disposed OF the cxcavatcd soil
by drawing it out in spittoon which
they attached to cord the dirt was
then disposed of by spreading it in thin
layers over the floor, conccaling it beneath
the straw. The work was necessarily
very slow; so close was the atmosphere
in the tunnel they could remain in it but
few minutes at time and their candles
would 60 out. At one time they got 10
near the surface of the street that \
small hole about the size of a stoyepipo
broke through, but fortunately this was
not discovered by the guard, and was Of
great service in admitting air, enabling
them to prosecute their work moro rapid.
ly. The tunnel when completed was
about sixty feet long, and opened into an
old tobacco shed beyond the line of guards.
As soon as they found the way clear they
emerged slowly in squads of two or three
and sauntcrcd off until they got clear Of
the guards, making their way towards tho
Williamsburg road by the shortest routes.
The darkness favored them, aud the fact
that all the rebel soldiers whom they met
were hacited i'll the army coats Of Uncle
Sam, which they had stolen from the sup
plies sent to our prisoners by our govern.
ment, was of great help to them. Altho'
they were attired in our army overcoats
and many Of them had their havcrsacks
they found the national uniform better
disguise than if they had been provided
