No Relation.

Monkeys are scarce in Michigan. A sad
dler in Detroit kept one for pet, that us
ually sat on the counter. A workman one
day came in, the proprietor being in the
back room. The customer, seeing saddle
that suited him, asked. the price.
Monkey said nothing.
Customer said, "I'll give you twenty
dollars for it," laying down the money,
which the monkey showed into the drawer
The man then took the saddle, but the mon
key mounted him tore his hair, scratched
his face, and the frightened customer
screamed for dear life. Proprietor rushed
in and wanted to know what was the fuss.
"Fuss?" said the customer, ''fuss? l
bought saddle of your son sitting there,
and when went to take it he wouldn't let
me have it,"
The saddler apologized for the monkey,
but assured him that he was no relation.

lty laealcHIahle and Remsdiless.

NEW ORLEANS, April 24.-Assist-
ant State Engineer Hatch, writing
Yesterday from the Bonnet Care ere
vase, says it Is now 600 to $50 feet
wide, and that a vast volume of water
rushes through with a roar Ike thun-
der, piling itself upon the middle In
the form of an arch, Of which the cen
/ ter is five or six feet higher than the
sides. The torrent has cut its channel
through the front batture and far out
into the fields to the depth of forty
feet, while steadily foot by foot the
great levee crumbles into the boiling
waters. The closing Of this crevssse
Is beyond the range of possibilities,
so the next best thing is to prevent, il
possible, the widening of the breach.
A continuous sea of water extends
from here to Lake POntchartrain, and
for many miles above and,belOW. The
disaster is great and deplOrable, but is
beyond the reach of all remedy, as
every one who has seen it admits,
LATER AND MORE FEARFUL.
The crevasse which occurred in the
Ievee Of the Mississippi river at Bon
net Care, above New Orleans, some
days ago, has been gradually increas-
ing in extent until il is now entirely
beyond control. Last evening it was
six hundred and fifty feet wide and
eighteen feet deep. The danger to the
city Of New Orleans, the Jackson rail
rOad and our lines, is serious.

LITTLE Rock, April p Hard
wicke. the notorious sWindler and
bipamist. who was recently brought
20 this city in custody, made his es-
cane. on Sunday afternoon, from the
county jail. 1t is generally believed
that his custOdians were bribed, and
assisted him to escape. a Though be
had been in jail for nearly six
weeks, he had succeeded in
waving a hearing until a week ago,
when he was committed in default Of
5000 bail. The coming week was
fixed for his trial. His first wife, who
is no doubt a c0nffere, came TO this
city a week after his arrival, and has
visited him daily since, spending
nearly the entire day with him. He
was also visited by a darky clergy
man and a lawyer Of the same color.
These parties were permitted by
the darky jaiIsr aud his black
assistants to have free inter
course with him. 1t was only at
night that he was placed in cell, and
il Is doubtful whether then, for the
greatest license was extended TO him,
and during the day ne had the entire
run of the building. This was per
mitted notwithstanding the remOn-
strances that were made by the gen
tIsmeu whom he swindled, and who
had spent 5000 in effecting his arrest.
on Sunday his wife was with him as
usual, but left at an early hour. After
she had departed Hardwicke walked
into the ward, opened the gate, which
was left unlocked for him, mounted
horse awaiting him, and escaped. So
Tar but little effort has been msde for
bis re-capture. The sheriff offers q
reward Of 500. His wife, who has
been stopping at the hotel since her
zrrlval, was known to have a large
amount Of money, and with this she
very readily obtained her husbands
release.
