/ A bold attempt TO escape from prison
was made recently by three prison ers

tempted to descend had scarcely started
when a knot Of the cord slipped, and

The election in New Hampshire has
resulted in a sweeping and significant
Republican victory. Everybody-even
the Democratic organists who predict
ed otherwise-e expected that we should
carry the State but few hoped to see
the confidence of the people in the new
Administration so auspiciously indicat
ed at its very commencement, by an
election, after a canvass that was GER
tainly neither spirited nor thorough,
showing large gains over the last. We
carried our State ticket in New Hamp-
shire last year by vote of 1928. The
returns from yesterdays election are
sufficient to warrant US in reckoning
the majority now at not less than $500.
Last year we had Sc majority in the
House, and out of the u Senators !;
this year we have 60 majority in the
House, while the Senate probably
stands the same as before, and we have
four out of the five Councillors. The

The solar engine, invented by a
Frenchmau named Mouchot. has proved
successful, it is said. A concave reflect
or is used to concentrate the sunshine
on a boiler blackened with smoke. 1t
is computed that in the latitude of
Paris the heat reflected from a surface
of square meter, or 10. 60 square feet,
will make quart of water, taken at
the freezing point, boil in ten minutes.
An area Of 100 square meters will fur

Yesterday was another day of intense
excitement, rumor, and speculation at
Washington, consequent upon the I'M
settled state of political affairs. Both
Houses of Congress were in session,
and, in anticipation of important COM
munications from the President being
sent to the former body, very large
number of people were in attendance.
No disposition was shown in either
House to proceed with business The
complications at the Executive Man
sion seem to greatly embarrass legisla-
ton. ArFa 4 9sFT 81 o. T-rr
The doings of yesterday bear out
the statement made in dispatches of
Monday last. Mr.. Stewards PROPOSE
ton for a temporary assignment of his
property has been rejected. and he
therefore Internationally withdraws
from the Treasury This fact became
generally known just after the adjourn
ment of Congress, and ever since there
has been all manner of comments and
speeulations Mr.. Stewards course is
warmly applauded, and people appear
relieved at the final termination of the
difficult and unfortunate state of affairs
that has existed for the last few days.
The professional politicians are att
tempting to take advantage of this
temporary embarrassment of the Presi-
lent to aid themselves in their schemes
They argue that Grant has blundered
fearfully, and hereafter he must con-
suit with them, or he may again fall
into more serious faux pas, which
would be Illuminating in the extreme.
1t is conceded that the offer made to
ex-Gov. Boutwell, of the Portfolio of
the Treasury, in the event of Mr..
Stewards being unable to qualify, will
not be withdrawn, and if he accepts the
nomination win be semitic the Senate
tO-AAiOllOh.
Gov. Boutweil's acceptance of the
office, it is understood, win necessitate
the withdrawal of Judge Hoar from the
Attorney -Generalship, as the President
is adverse to having two men in his Cab
met from the same State. Judge Hoar
arrived here to night, and is the guest
of ex-Attorney General Evarts. He
hiss been in consultation with the Pres
ident, but the result is not known.
Should he be compelled to retire, it is
thought either Lyman Tremain or Ed
wards Pierrepont will succeed him.
Other changes will be made in the Cab
met before many days-maybe to-mor.
row. P1A f4 ef- -.+
Mr.. Washburne seems determined
not to remain in the State Department.
1t was intimated last night that he will
withdraw tomorrow, and his nomina-
zion as Minister to France will be sent
to the Senate Immediately. As to his
successor in the State Department,
there is nothing definitely known. The
position was rendered the Hon. James
+. Wilson, ex-member of the House
from Iowa, and he refused to accept it,
butt his friends say that he may be yet
induced to accept the position.
ia.
Should Judge Hoarbe compelled to
retire from the Cabinet, he will be offer
ed a foreign mission or, when the bill
for the reorganization of the United
States Supreme Court, which retires
Justices Nelson and Grier, becomes a
aw, Judge Hoar will be appointed to
the Supreme Court. IS

General Slocum, in his lecture on
Military Lessons of the War;" tells the
following story in his reference to the
battle Of Bull Ran:
The influence of our officers over
their men, and the state of our discip
line, Is best illustrated by an incident
whiei, occurred on the field in the heat
of battle. An officer, who has since be
come very prominent and well known
throughout the country, was then in
command of brigade on the right Of
our line. While riding over tine field,
undiscovered a soldier concealed in "a
hole in the ground, which was of just
sufficient dimensions to afford him shell.
ter. The General rode up to him, in
quired as to his regiment, and ordered
him to join itat once. The man, look
ing him full in the face, placed his
thumb upon his nose and replied:
essNo you don't, old fellow you want
this hole yourself'' ~ .

A Pithx Sermon.

Many sermon has been spun out to
an hours length, that did not contain q
1.-THE Of the sound moral instruction and
counsel to be found in the. following
brief and pithy sermon, from the pen of
that good man and racy writer, John
Todd:
You are the architects of your own
fortunes. Rely upon your own strength
of body and soul. Take for your motto.
Self reliance, Honesty and Industry :;
for your star, Faith, Perseverance, and
Pluck, and inscribe on your banner, BE
just and fear not Don't take too much
advice; keep ut the helm, and steer your
own ship. Strike out. Think well of
yourselves. Fire above the mark you
intend to hit. Assume your position
Don't practice excessive humility you
can't get above your leyel-water don't
run up hill--put potatoes in cart over
rough road, and the small potatoes
will 60 to the bottom. Energy, invinci
BILE determination, with a right molten
are the levers that move the world
The great art of commanding is TO take
a fair share of the work. Civility costs
nothing and buys everything. Don't
drink don't smoke don't swear; don't
gamble; don't lie; don't steal don't
deceive; don't tattle rabe polite be
generous be self reliant. Read good
books. Love your fellow man, as well
as God love your country and obey its
laws; love truth love virtue. Always
do what your Conscience tells you to be
duty, and leave the consequence with
/ God. rE

TESTIMONY OF Rocks The changes
on the eartli's surface during the glacial
period are strikingly illustrated by a
boulder of peculiar variety of granite,
fifteen feet high and seventy feet in cir
conference, perched upon the top OF
Hoosisc Mountain, one of the highest
peaks in Massachusetts. This bowlder,
it is conclusively proved, was clipped
off the apex OF another mountain at
Stamford, Vermont, and transported by
the ice 10 its present position. The
Stamford mountain is now a truneated
cone, and the bowlder is composed OF
the same kind of granite, which differs
in every respect from the Hoosiac rock

parently died very suddenly. just be

husband and friends not to bury her, as
it would only be trance into which she
would pass. She is still unburied. Not
withstanding the length of time which
has elapsed since she to all appearance
died, her body remains perfectly lifel!ke,
and not the least possible sign of de-

A MISS AS Coon AS MILE.-Accord.
ing to the statutes of Indiana, theft of
five dollars is penitentiary offense.-
A man was brought before the Common
Pleas Court of Union county, Indiana.
at its last session, charged with the lar
ceny of bag of wheat, the val
ne of which was proven to be, at the
market price, four dollars and ninety
nine and seven, twelfths, cents. This
crime, therefore, was petit larceny, and
he was sentenced to- Jail for sixty days.
Five-twelfths Of cent more would have
sent him to the Penitentiary.
