AN EXTRAORDINARY mUTINY IN
TENNEssEE.

There was some stirring scenes OF the peni-
tentih'y on Sunday, the 18th inst, nearly re.
sulting in the overthrow Of the guards Of that
institution, aud the escape Of hundreds Of its
striped aud close clipped inmates.
Some eleven Ct the white conviots, with Nor
ton Coffee, an ex'soder Of the Fifth Kentucky
iFederal) cavalry, whose sentence for house
burning and robbery will expire fifteen years
from the last session Of the Criminal Court, had
connected plan for grand strike for freedom,
aud had determined upon carrying it out even
ut the hazard Of their lives.
Waiting and watching, nn opportunity at last
occurred to them. Al g o'clock, r. NJ of Sun
day, the long deal table in the diuing room,
which Is in the west wing Of the building, was
spread with The homely prison fare, and three
hundred conyicts, half of them negroes, filed in
mud seated themselves in their accustomed
places. single guard henderson, in
the room, armed only with a stout baton, usually
carried ~ those Of his calling, and the door
leading outward to the wall, which had been pnr-
tial'y torn down for material to build a new one,
stood MAR, welcoming the COOL delicious breeze
that swept Into the heated apartment.
Neither whisper nor sign Of any kind betrayed
the intent of the leaders as they silently partook
OF the evening meal; bat when every plate had
been euptied, and knives aud forks had jingled
10 their resting places, Coffee rose fiom his seat
bic eyes flushed with excitement, and waved his
soldier cap high above bis head, shouting n
startling tones, "Now is your time, boys Strike !
stake for your iterly" As the words struck
upon their ears, tho situation at once flashed
upon them, and with one accord up rose every
mau Of The motley three huadred, while an ex-
Texan ranger, named Henry Holt. with ten
others, eecouiing the daring Coffee, stroye to
lpoile them to action.
So su lden, however, had been the call upon
'henl, that though they fully comprehended that
but Two walls, each one ten feet 10 height, stood
between them and freedom, they hesitated.
Henderson, the guard, who was near Coffee,
ordered him to be seated, but instead Of COM
plying the convict seized a knife from the table
aud made lung al him. which Henderson warded
With his club. Using it dexierousty he kept off

ANEcDoTE OF A CELEBRATED ENGINEER.
Robert Stephenson was very fond of re-
ducing his scientific reading to practice; and
after studying Franklin's description OF the
lightning experiment, he proceeded to ex-
pend his store of Saturday pennies in pur-
chasing about half mile of copper wire.
Having prepared his kite, he sent ii up in
the field opposite his fathers door, and bring
ing the wire, insulated by means of few
feet of silk cord, over the backs Of some of
Farmer Wigham's COWS, he soon had them
skipping about the field in all directions with
their tails up. One day he had his kite fly
ing at the cottage door as his iather's gallo
way was hanging by the bride to the pail
ing, waiting for the master to mount. Bring
ing the end of the wire just over the pony's
crupper, so smart an electric shock was
given that the brute was almost knocked
down. AT this juncture the father issued
from the door, riding-wMp in hand, and was
witness to the scientific trick just played off
upon his galloway. "Ah you mischievous
scoundrel,' cried he 10 the boy, who ran off,
He inwardly chuckled with pride, neverthe-
less, at Roberts successful experiment.

There is an outcry Just now in England about
stolen sermons. A clergyman writes to one Of
the papers that he recently heard discourse Of
the late DR.. Arnolda delivered in London pull
pit, and on another occasion had the satisfaction
Of listening to published sermon Of his own.
The incumbent of a comfortable family living
the other day began to preach printed sermon
previously read, aud discovered, when too late
to stop, that ii was an affecting farewell! address,
The reverend gentleman, however, still holds
his cure.

MoaE paroioUs THAN GoLp.-The ancient
philosopher who hunted in vain for an honest
man. would probably have had 10 better success
il his search had been for a commended man.
Discomfort seems to be inherent in human
nature. Il is natural for man, no matter
what his circumstances or condition in life, to
arrive Tor something which he sees ahead, and
which is beyond his Immediate roach. He lie
never sati fed with his lot, There Is always
something ahead 10 draw him forward, and he
follows the magnet. reaching bis apparent goal
only 10 find that, in some shape or other, il ia
still ahead, Thus, the man who stands upon
the lower round Of the ladder Of fortune, who
has uohng that he can call hiq own with the
exception OF bis family, osks forward with
eager expectation to the day When he shall own
simple home. He thinks II that point were
reached be would be contented and happy.
But give that man his cottnge, and he will soon
movo his aspirations peg higher, and sigh for
something liulo better. The same feeling Of
res,esaness perVadea every grade of sociely-
the millionaire MS well MS the labOrer who owns
nothing in the world. Here Ia New York are
men who count their wealth by millions. Are
they satisfied or conteuteLH No They see the
samo ignls fla US ahead which ats before the
meuta vision of the lnborer. Ills fact, although
few people appreciate it, that wealth brings
neither contentment nor happiness The more
a man gets tho more he wants. It 10 well, Of
course, that nature has endowed man with the
quality OF acquisltiyeness, for II ia that chiefly,
which stimulates his energies and makes him
industrious and ambitious, II 10 we'll, too that
every man should strive to accumulate the means
of e,joymeIt for tho physical organism is such
that 1t needs work in order to prevent loss oil
vitality but while laboring and striving in 0
reasonable degree to secure additional comforts
it ia the greatest folly for any man to grievt
about the ownsss OF his station or the emph
ness Of his purse. Aud il is worse than folly /,
envy those who are more fortunate, or who b!
my means enjoy greater degree of prosperity
A. u rule, the man who carries the bod ii
assis,iug to build the costly residence s quite q
, happy nj he who will occupy that residence. l
fact, we believe that there lie less happiness an
more discomfort among the wealthy than anon
the poor Mans desire for enjOyments increas
r quite ne fast as his means for gratifying then
J., aud hence there lie always void to all. Ever
man, whether rich or poor, should school hin
u self to be coDtenied with his lot. HappineI

who would be happy must learn that it Is SOM

A CURIOUS MACHINE. Whether mochanl-
cal perpetual motion is OF not among human
possibilities has long been disputed point,
but what seems realization of this desidera-
tum In physics, or causes so near as 1t as to
leave the mind at loss and set argument
at defiance, is piece Of mechanism which
belongs to DR., NJ. Loomis, OF this city.
This machine is about twenty inches in
height, and its main feature is vertical
wheel, some six inches in diameter, upon
shaft about four inches in length, The
whole is provided with weights, the peculiar
arrangement of which gains, as it were, a
result between heft and leverage, which pro-
duces an eccentric polse of the wheel, and
thus maintaining constant motion.
II was produced at an expense of eighty
thousand dollars, and is the result OF many
years labor by man now deceased.
To whatever status philosophers or physi-
cists may assign it, II is certainly a marvel,
and has no equal. Its separate pieces can
easily be taken apart and examined in its
every minutia, and when readjusted it as.
sumes It's wonted motion without external
assistance. Warrington Star

A CURIOUS CAsE.-The Paris journals
relate the following strange story; "a gen.
tleman and well dressed young woman
went the evening before last to one of the
restaurants in the Champs Elysees and or.
dered dinner in private room. All passed
TRANQUILITY until the meal was concluded and
cigars and champagne served, when, after q
short delay, the woman'rushed down stairs
In state of great excitement, stating that
the gentleman had attempted to kill her.
She said that she had been accosted by him
on the Boulevards, he saying that she was
Caroline, and, upon her replying that she
was not, lie persisted that she was not, and
asked her to accompany HIM to dinner, to
which she consented. But when they had
finished, he suddenly jumped up and ex-
claimed, i see you are not Caroline, and
am going TO kill you She, however, made
her escape. The proprietor of the restau-
rant, thinking this was scheme of the gen.
tleman, whom he knew as customer, to get
rid of the woman, took no further notice OF
the matter. However, hearing nothing dur
ing an hour, he at last entered the room, and
found the gentlemen extended on the sofa,
bleeding profusely from wound in the
region of the heart. AT first, suspicious
were entertained that he had been wounded
by the woman, but upon the table was
found written in pencil on piece of paper,
Caroline, my researches for you have beer

THE SECRET. III noticed, " said Franklin,
"a mechanic among number of others, at
work on house erecting but little way
from my office, who always appeared to be
in merry humor who had kind word and
cheerful smile for every one he met. Let
the day be ever so cold, gloomy or sunless,
happy smile danced like sunbeam on his
cheerful countenance. Meeting him one
morning, asked him to tell me the secret
of his constant happy flow of spirits"
"No secret Doctor, he replied. ~ have
got one of the best of wives, and when go
to work, she always has kind word of en-
couragement fol- me; and when l go home
she meets me with smile and kiss; and
then tea Is sure to be ready, and she has
done so many little things through the day
to please me, that I cannot find 1t in my
heart TO speak an unkind word to anybody"
What influence, then has woman over the
heart of man, to soften it and make it the
foundation Of cheerful and pure emotions
Speak gently, then; greeting after the toili
of the day are over, costs nothing, and goes
far towards making home happy and peaceful

Advancing from these, we have all grades
which are sold at proportionately low prices,
are surpassed by none in style and fit and
made with especial care-the small quantity
OF clothing manufactured generally this sea-

A MAN ATTACKED BY FERRETs.-The
Detroit Tribune publishes the following
This morning curious discovery was
made in the basement Of HeaYenrich &
Brothers. store, No. 70 Woodward avenue,
which beats the lizard sensation. One Of
the employees of the establishment had &C.
casion to enter the cellar, and while there
he was attacked by an animal which he at
first supposed was large rat. Ho made
haste to get out of the place, but his move
ments were interrupted by whole family
OF animals, whose glazing eyes struck terror
to his soul, and made each particular hair
stand on end. The employee rushed wild
ly for the stairway, followed by the animals,
and upon emerging into the store he found
that one of his pursuers was close behind
him.
For few moments there was terrible
cominotion, which did not subsde until the
little stranger was captured. The animal
was placed in rudely constructed cage, and
visited by large number of people; each
one of whom appeared TO differ as to its
origin. There can hardly be any doubt,
however, upon the subject. 1t Ia evidently
an animal of the genus mustela, or weasel
kind; and the fact that there are no rats or
mice about the establishment would seem 10
confirm this theory. The cellar has, since
the first discovery was made been explored,
and there appears to DO a fsnnlysof these
animals, one of which is very large, in it.
How they got there, and how long they have
remained in the place, is mystery.
