Thrilling Adventure Of an Insane Nro-
man,

JACKSONVILLE, April 21- Yesterday after
noon, at the Illinois Hospital for the In
sane, located in this city, a most appalling,
exciting, and thrilling scene was witnessed
by many persons. An insane woman in
some way escaped from the apartments in
which she had been confined rushed up
the stairway, leaped upon the root, and
dashed away to the end of the building,
swung herself over the edge of the roof and
dropped to a cornice, some six or eight
feet below. Upon this cornice, foot wide,
and some seventy-fve feet above the
ground, the wild maniac walked pack and
forth for a quarter OF an hour. Men rushed
to the roof and passed rope to her, and
tried to persuade her to fasten it around
her body, but in vain. Blow, beds were
placed to break the fall should she leap
from her perlloUs position. After remain
ing on the cornice fifteen minutes, seem,
ingly unconscious of all danger, she sWung
off, and holding by the cornice until her
feet touched a cap of the fifth story Window
she let go the cornice, and, wonderful TO
relate, alighted erect and steady upon the
esp, which was but foot wide and four
feet long. There, at that fearful and dizzy
height, she stood gazing about for quar-
ter of an hour. Then she seized firmly the
rope lowered to her, and leaped into the
cir. The strong arms above gradually
lowered her, and when she was about thirty
feet from the ground she relaxed her hold
and fell upon the beds below, and although
stunned, was taken up uniniured.

Ihe B0naparte Trial.

The New York Sun comments as follows
on the trial of Pierre Bonaparte for the mur-
der Of Victor Nor:
The mock trial of the murderer Bona
part9 at Tours has produced the deepest
indignation among all classes of the French
people. Judge and jury actually ran a race
OF obsequiousness; and the question to be
decided by them was not the punishment
to be awarded TO a murderer, but the deli
cate attentions to be lavished upon him.
and the odium to be thrown upon his VIC
TINS. From the beginning to the end of
the trial, the moral position of the respec-
tive parties was inverted. The criminal
was treated with the utmost respect. and
his victims were subjected to the most oall-
ing humiliation. And when the farce was
over, and the murderer set free. mob of
snobs and iunkeys gave an ovation to the
telon, and American women disgraced them
selves by sending bouquets 20 his wife IF
the man had distinguished himself in his
past career by gen1us Or prowess, or by any
public or private virtues, feeling of sym-
pathy might have been excusable. But
here was q reprobate who from his very
childhood spread terror among the COM
munltles II which he happened to live. His
very gesture was threat, and his whole
nature compound of uubridled violence.
Ills sanguinarY antecedents found at last
their climax IN the murder which brought
nm to the felon's dock. But here all of q
sudden the assassin was treated like saint
Ihe very policemen VINO escorted him to
the court room kissed the hem of his gar
ment. The Judge bowed to him deferen-
TALLY. The Special iurymen got exited at
laaCf iY,tIr ha faiY olI
sion to the guilt of the murderer. Justice
was dragged In the mire, because il had to
deal with a criminal who was a aprince-and
a prince of the blood-stained house OF
Bonaparte.

In FOR FREE RIDE. The Omaha Repub-
lican says: An ingenious and plucky fel-
low, who was in for a free passage over the
q. P. Z. R., had contrived for his ease and
comfort an extra berth under the car in the
vicinity of one of the trucks; here this VEN
tursome emigrant, by means of plank or
two, had arranged for himself a dwelling
place, with the necessary eatables, &c.
Just as the train was about ready to move
off, the conductor espied the good fellow.
and cheated him out of his prospective
ride.

In response to the charge of unfairness
in connection with the recent election in
New York, the Albany Argus, the
staunch and reliable organ Of the Demo-
cratic party of that State says: "There
has not been in thirty years an election so
honest, so free from bribery, fraud, in
timidatiol. or the influence of demagoguic
passions as the one which has just passed
in this State. The committees and
political leaders raised no money except
for the simplest purposes of printing.
There was no special naturalization, for
the term of probation generally expires in
the fall. In New York city, where Alder
manic tickets were run, there was said to
be suspicious increase of votes in some
districts, but the per centage was largest
on the Radical side. The charges of
fraud, however, might have been, and
probably were written before the election
day. Elsewhere throughout the State
there was no bribery or coercion of votes,
no repeating no passionate appeals to
excite the prejudices and warp the judg-
ment of the electors. 1t was Demo
cratic victory, the most emphatic ever
rendered. and it was uttered by all classes,
by farmer and artisan, merchant and
laborer, rich and poor, foreign and
natiye.n

Gov. HOFFMAN, of New York, is win
ming golden opinions not only from the
Democrats, but from the honest and more
candid of the Republican party. He has
spiked the guns of the Radical press, and
extorted salvos of commentator from
those of independent journals. The
New York Herald, after declaring that
Gov. Hoffman has earned for himself the
good will of the people without regard TO
mere party fealty, continues: AL
though devoted to the interests of the
Democratic party, and never, perhaps,
for moment losing sight of what he
owes to that party for its recognition of
his talents and the rewards it has confer
red upon him, the interests of the people
of the State at large have never been
overlooked. The Governors Vetoes of
the jobs and swindles which, by various
influences, crept through the Legislature
will be long remembered as models of
good judgment, legal acumen and sound
logic. He has never consigned bill to
oblivion, however small it's object, with
out giving good reasons for his action
reasons so clearly put that the friends of
the rejected bill could not demur TO the
decision Of the Executive Chamber"
This estimate of the position and labors
of Gov. Hoffman will be endorsed by all
who have watched his course as Chief
Magistrate Of the State of New York.

A frightful scene, more exciting in its
"details than the very strongest blood and
thunder tragedy that was perhaps ever
witnessed in theatre, occurred in the
Bowery Theatre, in New York, Saturday
hight, the 18th ult. The performance
was drawing to close, expectation was
on tiptoe to witness the brave and daring
acts Of Miss Minnie Wells with the Puma
lions. The young lady entered upon the
stage, made her courtesy to the audience,
and immediately went into the cage con-
tanning the lions-the crowded audience
meantime watching the exhibition with
breathless interest. Suddenly, while the
young actress was going through her
performance with the animals, pierre
ing screams broke the awe
struck silence of the theatre, and the
audience were Mortified at the sight of a
huge dion seizing the young lady by the
throat, and decorating her in such a
frightful manner that the blood poured
in streams from the wound. The actors
and attendants upon the stage rushed for
ward and struck at the enraged brute, and
finally succeeded in causing him
to relipquish his hold upon Miss
Wells, who was dragged from the
cage in a fainting condition. For this
business the actress received, perhaps
fifteen or twenty dollars per week-the
Snowman being the heavy gamer by this
wanton and cruel exposure of the human
frame TO torture equaling those of the
Roman arena in its worst days. The
shudder caused by this occurrence had
hardly passed over, when man
engaged at the Tammany Theatre
named Pedanto, in attempting one
of his feats, fell from a lofty
height to the stage, and was picked
up crushed mass of flesh and bones. He
may recover from the effects of the fall,
but it will only be after a protracted
period of suffering, and probably with
the loss Of the use of some OF his limbs.
1t is now quite time that stop should be
put to acts which imperil life and limb.
Persons can gaze upon wild animals with
out the accompaniment of human being
entering the cages, and feats upon the
trapeze are quite as entertaining with a
net spread beneath "a when there is moth
ing but thin air between the frail bars, the
swinging ropes and the hard planks forty
feet below. Such exhibitions create or
minister TO morbid desire for excite
ment, no matter how it may be produced,
and are, therefore, positively reprehensi-
hlo ..

TnB Springfield Republican, leading
Radical paper of Massachusetts,, states
that there is story circulating at Wash
ington, which may or may not be true,
that Secretary Fish met Gen. Banks,
Chairman of the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs, at the White House, a
day or two after the late attack by Voor-
hees and others on the State Department,
for its course toward Cuba, and asked
him why some member of the committee,
or some Republican, did not defend the
Administration. Gen. Banks replied
sharply, so the story goes, and even went
so far as to say that the State Department
had no foreign policy to defend, after
which both became little excited.
