Lne naruone0 WroIcn. L mere was Out
a trihing difference in their height,
but Lloyd lacked the aldermanic pro-
portions of the jailor. However, he
managed that quickly and easily, un-
locked the door of the cell, stepped
into the corridor. locked it again
carefully, withdrew the key, and imi-
tated as nearly as possible the dull,
heavy tramp of the keeper. The Jail
physician was just leaving the build
ing, and Lloyd walked along after
him, as if to see him safely out. Only
one subordinate guarded the entrance
and SO Lloyd and the doctor walked
out together, without exciting the
least suspicion. He reached the old
rookery, donned his attire, which
proved to be a sailors uniform, re-
moved the black wig of the keeper
and substituted light, curly one, and
before twelve o'clock had reached the
house of friend Two or Three miles
from the city, told his story, was
warmly received and promised pro-
lection. Lloyd felt sure he had not
been traced to this spot, and almost
overcome by his happiness, and thank
ed God as he had previously fore
sworn, for his miraculous escape. The
next morning all were astir early in
the prison, but our turnkey did not
make his appearance; what could it
mean? A key was produced to open
the cell door, and the nude, inanimate
figure of the fat keeper was presented
to their sstonished view.
In the middle of the cell were the
prisoners wardrobe; all he could
spare from the make up of the turn
keys lusty proportions.
A little cold water and fresh air
revived bin, but he could throw no
light upon Fletcher's mysterious dis
appearance. He had seen nothing,
knew nothing, remembered nothing.
Mrs. Fletcher was arrested on sus-
picion of assisting her husband to
escape, but nothing could be proved
and a few days saw her at liberty
She was confident that her darling
was safe, but could form no idea of
the modas operandi, or where he could
be concealed
However, now that so much was
gained, she felt that she could afford
to wait for the rest.
Large rewards were offered for the
prisoner apprehension huge posters
were placarded everywhere, and de-
tectives and private officers were set
to work to ferret out his hiding place
but all in vain.
When the excitement was at its
height, the dRte-mOYtem statements and
confessions Of a dying man were
brought before the court, entirely ex-
honoraLing Lloyd Fletcher from COM
plicity in the murder. The man was
Mrs. Lancaster's foster-brother. He
had drugged and beaten poor Fletch-
er the night of the perpetration of
the crime, stolen his pistol, and com
mitted the fatal deed.
Mrs. Lancaster had been from the
first exceedingly suspicious of him,
but proofs were not in her power,
and so she had used every means pos
slble to restore Lloyd his liberty,
trusting to time and a merciful God
for the rest.
How we'll she acted her part, and
succeeded in her endeagors, the read
er is aware.
Fletcher was Immediately pardon
ed, and was escorted by the excited
LondonerS to his residence.

A Swiss nurse has been convicted
at Geneva of having murdered no less
than nine persons whom she had at,
tended in illness. The only motive
for these crimes appears to have been
the morbid delight afforded her in
watching the sufferings of her vic
tins. She was sentenced to twenty
years hard labor.

CHILDREN AND THEIR SAYINGs.-A
friend of mine has two bright little
boys - Freddy. between three and
four years old and Willie about FIVE
A chronicle of their sayings and do
ingS would fill volume, but two spec.
linens must suffice.
Both were very fond of milk, and a
mug of it completed their SUPPER
But, while in the country last summer
it so chanced they one day saw the
girl milking.
"There Willie" said Freddy, "you
see that do you! | don't want any
more milk after the cows had it" and
he withdrew very much disgusted.
That evening when their mugs were
| placed on the table, both stood IN
touched. A reason of this phenome
non being asked, Freddy simply de
clared thai he didn't want any milk
after the COW had had it, but further
refused to explain. Willie, however
told the experience of the morning.
The mother then explained to then
that the milk did not come to then
second hand-that the COW ate gras,
which was changed into milk by {
wonderful chemical process, akin tt
that which produced everything in ma
ture. In the light of this explanation
Willie was satisfied, but Freddy still
turned up bis nose at milk, sticking
to the original proposition.
After supper, Willie, who on these
important occasions always acted a
expounder, took his brother aside in
to corner. dts all right, Freddy,
he said, "and you can just go on drink
ing your milk again. The COW eat
grass, and that's what makes it. Nov
if the COW didn't eat the grass, you,
have to, you see. That's what tn
cows for.
Freddy resumed his eveni'g draughts

A KAT TALE.-A French physiolo-
glst, named Bert, says he had a dried
rats tail under the bell of an air
pump, and in immediate proximity to
concentrated sulphuric acid, so as to
deprive it gradually of all moisture.
Then he put it into Theoretically
sealed glass tube, in which it remain
ed four or five days. Next he put
it into stove, where he subjected it
for some hours to temperature of
So degrees centigrade, and subse-
quently sealed it second time in the
glass tube, Four days more having
elapsed, he united this tail by it's cut
extremity to the freshly cut stump of
living healthy rat. The tail soon
began to expand and perform all the
natural duties of tail. Three months
afterwards the unfortunate rat was
compelled to assist at a second ampu.
tation. and Mr.. Bert proved conclu-
sively that the once dissected tail was
furnished with all the proper vessels,
and was living part of the second
rat.

Yours,
LEO IN THE FORK.

Mr. EDIToR-I have seen your issue
of last week, and the change Of the po-
litical tone of your paper.
1t does appear to me that the great
and fundamental doctrine of the Repub-
lican party is the enfranchisement of the
colorcd race. That doctrine is an estab.
lished and an accomplished fact. The
establishment of this point in this plat
form is notorious, aud admitted AS the
success of this party. 1t seems to me
that if the old Democratic party can OBJ
tain the compromise Of the re enfran-
chisement of the disfranchised Southern
men, upon the condition of their accept
ing the political equality of the colored
men, we should AID must be satisfied.
That compromise creates new aud
Conservative element in politics, which,
l take it, is the Conservative Republican
party your papnr espouscs That party,
| agree with you in thinking, il organ.
lied in our State would perfectly restore
harmony and peace.
The organization of such party is
not for the purpose of fighting out these
issues in politics, but to accept posi-
tion, which, it seems to me, has been
finally y settled and established.
agree with you in your position of
to-day" and heartily wish your paper
success in advocating the course it now
cspouses.
Accept, sir, this response to your ap-
peal to the people Of the County to back
you in your views.
1t has been the extremists and the
corrupt of the Republican party that
have prevented our people from admit
ting its success and accepting its policy.
A Conservative element of this party,
which advocates purity, honesty and in
telligence, believe is the true party for
our people. At least, sir, it is mine.
Yours truly, III.

stand from under. Glorious will be the
day to me, when can say we have made
clean sweep Of Radicalisln from the sea-
board to the mountains. But mind ME,
MIR. Editor, am no Democrat. That
party is dead as aspickled herring. /
believe we are indebted to the Demo.
cratic party for the State of our coun-
try, and its ruin, to-day. The true Re-
publican party is Live party, progress
sive party and the party that rules and
ever will rule this great republic. There
may be now and then necessity for a
purge, as at tho present time, To throw
off the scum.
But, Mr.. Editor, I have written more
than Intended when commenced, and
will reserve for my. next, a word or two
that l would like to say for the benefit
of our present efficient Associate j udgc-
Representative in the United States
Congress, Mr.. Hoge.
In conclusion, say, go it. Nail your
colors 30 the mast, and stand by then,
till death.
Yours,

A New MANGuvRE.-A bill in
equity filed in the Court of Common
Pleas for Laurens County, in hehalf of
the President and Directors of the Bank
of the State of South Carolina against
the LaureDs Railroad Company and
others, complains that at a sale, under
an execution at law, Of the rolling stock
of the Laurens Railroad Company, (that
corporation being insolvent, and the
State and the bank being both heavily
interested as creditors in the disposition
of its assets, "a locomotive was sold and
knocked off to his Excellency Robert
K. Scott, not in his o6cisI character as
Governor, but to him as On Individual
and that the agent, one Joseph Csews
who acted for the purchaser, has pro-
claimed that he means to remove the
said locomotive, regardless of the
paramount Liens of the State and the
bank, both liens being perfected long
anterior 70 the judgment under which
the locomotive was Sold" The com.
plainants therefore pray that writs of
injunction may issue restraining Gov
ernor Scott and his agent, Crews, from
removing the locomotive OF any other
movable property of the company, Of
which they may have become the pur
chasers The answer ofAttorney Cen
eral Chamberlain, representing the in
terests of the State in the matter sus-
tains each and all of the allegations con-
tanned in the bill, and moreover explicitly
charges that "the purchasers under said
sale are now designing and contriving to
remove and dispose Of said property so
purchased" The Attorney General,
therefore, joins in the prayer for the in
junction.
What does all this mean? Is it posi-
BILE that the Governor Of South Carolina,
bound as he is to look after and protect
her interests, has taken advantage Of his
Office to buy, on his individual account,
personal property aPon which he knew
that tho State holds lien, and that he
is seeking to remove such property be-
yond the Jurisdiction Of her courts2 This,
1T seems to'us, is the statement Of facts,
which we have hptn the authority Of the
Attorney General himself, CHarleston
