Five notorious New York burglars and

Five notorious New York burglars and
thieves, all under heavy sentences, to.
gether with one murderer of Jersey
City, who were in Hudson county Jail
awaiting transportation yesterday to
Trenton state prison, concocted plan
of escape by blowing up, with gunpow-
der, the wall of the Jail. They were
aided by gang of New York thieves
and roughs who awaited, outside the
walls yesterday morning, the culmina-
ton of the plan. Carriages were held
in waiting at three different places to
convey the prisoners away upon the
successful carrying out of the plan,
which also included the release of all
prisoners in the Jail. The jailer however
became suspicious Sunday night that
something wrong was going on and
called in the Sheriff early yesterday
morning. While the prisoners were in
the yard at 6 o'clock there was a heavy
explosion which shook the walls severe
ly but did not throw them down nor
make any aperture in them, the only
damage being the demolition of the
window in the wash room and portion
of chimney, in which the scoundrels
had placed the powder. TIE prisoners
were unable to profit by the explosion
and have all been safely taken to the
State prison. The roughs outside the
Jail returned to New York city disgusted
at the failure.

The Huner. Of Book Selling.

The Chioege correspondent of the
New York Tnbane relates the follow.
ing:
Country customers often include other
articles in their orders for books, and
the houses here send out and purchase
them. One order for two or three hun.
dred popular works contained the item
of 81 Smoked Glasses" The clerk who
filed it bought and shipped to the Gus
toner pair of colored spectaclos, in.
stead of the desired book, with the
name of which he did not happen to be
familiar. For months afterward the
reminding tests of his fellow clerks
made the life of that unfortunate young
man burden to him.
Another order enumerated "Six

back with the response peneiled opposite
the item, and not at all in jest-"No

A rather slow boy had been employed
in a great establishment-in which his
father also was clerk-;just long enough
to realize that he did not know
anything, and to look bewildered when
ever he was asked for an unfamiliar
work. One day a fellow clerk, wishing
to speak with the elder, asked: "Bill,

Ia the Supreme Court of Missouri,
yesterday morning it was decided that
the case of the State against Farris, in
volviug directly the right of certain
parties to be directors of Underwood
College, at st. Charles, but which
turned upon the question of the valid
ity of the famous ipso facto order of the
Guerly paper adopted by the Old School
Presbyterian General Assembly at st.
Louis, in 1866, the Court unanimously
held that the action of the General As
sembly, being the highest Church Court,
is conclusive on civil courts in all Eccle-
siastical matters, and expressly sus-
tanned the action of the Assembly OF
1866 and 1867 dissolving the several
Synods and Presbyteries adhering to the
so-called declaration and testimony
party as being with the constitutional
church powers of the Assembly. The
effect of the decision in that State is to
secure to the adherents of the General
Assembly as against the declaration
testimony party the control Of all the
property held upon condition of connec,
