thing modern. Csrthagena is the chief
naval station of Spain and as such il
very strongly fortified. The inlets OF the
sea are commanded by extensive fortified
tions on the crest of high hills at either
hand, and the main inlets widens 20 bay
as vs. approach the city, which is sur
rounded on it's water side by massive
stone wall bristling with the dogs Of war.
After breakfast of beefsteak and garlic
we went to the arsenal and applied fer
admission. The guard said a permit was
requisite, whereupon we exhibited our
passports. saying "Americana" He called
for an officer who admitted as at once.
The arsenal has an immense artificial
basin with quite two miles of walk about
it. Floating in the greenish blue water
are sew eral admirable ships Of war which
look if they might do efficient service
in co, nbatting a wooden vessel of their
kind, bnt would stand a poor chance be-
fore the guns of Kearsage or Miantono-
NAH. An old three decked frigate rid
died with holea, is retained curiosity OF
the early wars when Spain was a power
am ong the nations. We meet here an in
telfigent Spanierd who referred to Isabel
las basty retreat, and the ex ceeding gen
crosby of the revolutionists who sent after
her great per-onal wardrobe a.Gd private
jewels. He says the wardrobe was val
uad by modiste at 100000 Gales or
81 100000. This Spaniard, as n lumber
we have met, predicts the early downfall
of the new King Amadeus whom be
thinks Spain can't Icing support at $4,000
per day, already too heavy and onerous g
tax is sapping her life blood. We fin q
very little of interest in Csrthegena and

An Irrepressible JaiI-Broaker.

The most remarkable character we ever
recorded Is a negro murderer in Nab
county, n. O., named Luke Johnson
Luke was fret taken up for larceny. somt
months ego, and a negro winners, living
in log cabin in the wood, testifi""
against him before the grand jury. He
tracked this witneFs TO his hOuse one nigh
and poking biz gun, loaded with old nails.
through a crack, shot him dead. He oDl'
stayed there one day--got out that nikht
was rearrested and Carried 10 the Warren
county Jail, there to be kept more secnre
This is a strong j Ill, and is fenced arouuo
by q strong rock wall, and fifty fierce bull.
dogs kept 10 the j4il-yard. LIKE was co"
fined in close cell, and at last the sutbOri.
ties thought they hed him safe. Blu
thew were mistaken. He took rock ou'
of the floor that weighed five hundreo
pounds with his own hands, and crswled
under and got to the door of the i'll. hu
here stopped on account of the bull dng-
and be stooa there in the door and waitef
for the jaiIer to come and "put him back
The j4iler came along after while Hnd
slapped Luke in again. But the surhori.
ties were afraid TO trust him much longer
so they took him back to Nash county
and be had his trial. He was sentenced
to be hung by the neck till he was desc
on last Frid4y, the nth inst. This time
they handcuffed him securely in the Jail
with cuffs made to order, and also put OF
ankle-csff-, locking them up securely
and then they had q chain that run from
his hsndruff. to his ankle cuff, and thi-
chain WAS locked through big iron boil
and ring in the floor. He WIS allowed Il
sitting posture in common split bottom
ghair, and with his hands reached down
chained and buckled, and taking tn
round out of the chair, aud running II l.
the chain, twisted 1t out, breaking the limb
in about twenty pieces. There Was a wir.
in some way connected with this ring,
and with this he picked the locks on hi
cuffs and got his hands and feet free
Then, with piece of the iron link, he
forced the locks on the three iron door
locked on him, and also the wooden one
at the entrance of the Jail, and ia this way
made bis third escape, letting out witt
him another negro prisoner. He thu
made his escape from the gallows six day,
before hanging dav, which was appointed
to have been last Friday. Luke Johnson
we are told, Is young, strsppiog negro
man, einger-eake color, and is abou. t5en,
five years old. He was sold a. slave sew.
en- times in Richmond. Va. before the war
He is great mcdaniel genius. and dur
ing the war he made buggy our oi
wood, with white-oak springs. and with
ont piece of iron in If. In this buggy
he used to ride tn church. When sen.
fence was pronounced on him in N.sh
County Court House, as the sheriff
marched him out he exclaimed "You al
aren't agoing to hang me; you can't DE-
it.o He is still loose, and swears he will

The WONDERS OF BELLEVUE Hos
PITAL.-I now met sn old friend, DIR.
Duuham, who showed me around the
building, describing strange cases and
showing me new improvements and med
ical discoveries. The first new invention
is the practice of using, in cages of frac-
tured limbs and arms, mold of plaster
of Paris The old "spiints" are done
away With. The patients broken leg or
arm is bandsged. and over the bandage
is nodded a thin layer of plastic plaster
of Paris This soon dries,s and the patient
instead of being compelled to lie in bed,
can get up in 30 minutes and go around
on crutches. The broken member is held
perfectly secure in the light plaster mold
This is a wonderful and simple invention
A little boy, whose leg was broken yes

Late Dairy Markets.

There were no changes to note in quo
tations of butter and cheese, at Utica.
though perhaps prices for cheese are
little weaker The cable does not advance
as expected, and many New York holders
have cheese that cost them more than
shippers will now pay. The English
make, we understand, is the largest, this
season, of any since the foot and mouth
disease broke out. THE stock in New
York il not 50 large as it was last year.
1t is estimated at 10000 boxes. AS to
the amount back ia the country, there
are no data from which a satisfactory e.
timate can be made. Our buyers think
it considerably larger than last year. 1t
is plain, from the receipts and the stock
in New York, that it must be larger or
the seasons make good deal lighter.
The following table shows the receipts
and exports at New York for last week,
and the corresponding week last yaar ;

ports Of this and last year ta date

of the dominant party. To say the least
great harm must result from the debstes
of this week. doubtless more than will
from any subsequent investigations which
may be made by the committee.
On Friday the republican Senator's met
in caucus, and after a lively discussion,
agreed to adopt Trumbulrs resolution
with the exception of that portion relat-
to the civil service reform, and also agreed
upon a committee composed of Messrs.
Buckingham, Harlan, Pratt, Stewart,
Poole and B4yard.
None of these Senators have taken an
active part in the contest. The debate
pleased at least one part of its auditors
the Democratic Senators. They had
nothing to say as a general thing, fonly
now and then would they fan the fame a
little, and watch its progress with serene
satisfaction written upoa their faces.
Their votes were generally given in cup
port of Mr.. Trumbulps measure.
On Saturday the Senate comraittee on
privileges and elections, decided against
admitting Foster Fl. Blodgett to a seat
ia the Senate upon the ground of the ille-
gality of his election by the Georgia Leg
islature, in 1870. This is looked upon as
probably admitting to his seat the con-
testant, T. M. Norwood, democrat. The
Legislature by which B!o3gett was elect
ed, expelled its colored members, aud
Congress, by act. ordered a new organiz l.
ton of the legislature. The newly oon-
vened Legislature was composed of the
same members as the old with some few
exceptions, no new election by the people
being had. Norwood claims his seat up
on the ground of his election by the next
Legislature, regularly chosen by the peo-
,,le subsequent to the dissolution Of the
