A Remarkable Case.

The most remarkable character we ever re'
corded is a colored man 10 Nash county
named Luke johnson, Luke was frst taken
up for larceny some months ago, and u colored
witness living in a little log cabin in the
woods had testified against him before the
grand jury. lie tracked this witness to his
house one night, and poking bis gun, loaded
with old nails, through crack, he shO. him
dead. lie was Immediately arrested and
lodged in the Jail of Nash county. he only
stayed there ono day-got out that night;
was ro.arrested and Carried to che Warren
county Jail, there to be kept moro scrare.-
This is strong jail aud is fenced around BY
strong rock. wall and there arc several ferso
bulldogs keps.iu. !.he iail.S gard. ..-.-.--
Luke was confined in a close cell, aud at
lat tho authorities thought they had him
sale. But they we're mistaken. flc took a
ruck out of tho auOr that weighed five hun-
dred pounds with his own hands, and crawled
under and rot to tho door OF the jail, but
here he stopped on account OF the bulldogs,
and hc stood there in tho door aud waited
for the jailOr to come and "pnt him back"
The jaiIOr came along after awhile and slapped
Luke 10 again. But the authorities werc
afraid to trust him much longer, SO they took
him back to Nash county, and he had bis
trial lie was sentenced to be hung on last
Friday, the l7th instant.
This time they handcufed him securely in
the Jail, with cuffs made to order, aud also
put on ankle cuIs, locking them up securely,
aud then they had chain that run from his
hand cuffs to his ankle cuffs, and this chain
was locked through big iron bolt and ring
in tho floor. llc was allowed sitting pos
turc in common spt.bottom chair, and with
his hunis reached down, chained and buckled,
aud took the round ont Of the chuir, and rum
Mug it in the ring, twisted it out, breaking
tho link in about twenty pieces. There was a
wire in sumG way connected with this ring,
aud with this he picked the locks on his cuffs
and got his hands aud feet free. Then with
piece Of the iron LUX he forced the locks on
the three iron doors locked on him, and also
the wooden one at the entrance of the Jail,
and in this way made bis third escape, let
ting out with him another negro prisoner
He thus nude his escape from tho gallOws six
days before hanging day, which was appointed
to have been last Friday. Luke johnson, we
arc told, is u young, strappiug man, and is
about Twenty-Five years old. He was sold as
slave seven times in Richmond, Va, before
tho war. He is real mechanical genius, aud
during the war he made buggy out Of wood,
with whitcoak springs, and without piece Of
iron in it. In this buggy he used to ride to
church. When sentence was pronounced on
him in Nash county courthouse, rs tho sheriff
marched him out he exclaimed: "You all
urnt going to hang me; you can't DO il"
lie is still loose, aud swears he will peyee
leave Nash county.

The Richest Boy in America,

The papers arc telling about a boy in New
England, now fourteen years Of age, who is
supposed to be tho richest boy in tho United
Stats, because ho has great deal Of money.
To our mind, the richest boy in America is
tho one who is good hearted, honest, intelli-
gent, ambitious, willing to do right. llo is
the ono who loves his mother aud always has
a kind word for her; whO'lOves his sister or
sisters, tries to help them, aud regards them
with true affection. Ho is tho boy who does
net call his father "thO old mnu," but who
loves him and tries to help him as tho haiFs
Of his old ago gather fast upon his brow.
The richest boy is the one who has pluck
to fight his destiny and future. IIc is the
ono who has tho manhood to do right aud bO
honest, and striving to bo somebody; who is
above doing mean action; who would not
tell lie to screen himself or botray friend
lie is tho boy who has heart for others,
whose young mind is full Of noble thoughts
for the future, aud who is determined to win
a name by good deeds. This is the richest
boy in Americal Which ono Of cur readers
isitl
This boy we like; VIC would be glad to see;
would like to take by the hand and toll him
60 on earnestly, that success might crown his
efforts. And IL hO is poor boy, We should
meet at the threshold, bid him enter, and give
him good advice, well aud kindly meant.-
The other rich boy in New England We don't
care anything about, for there arc fools and
snobs enough to worship, aatter, aud spoil
htp,
