THE GRECIAH BEND.

The Missouri Jefferson City, State
Times of October Goth has the follow
ing:
The Jefferson City correspondent
of the Republican says: Colonel
Doughelty, Warden OF the Peniten-
tiary, jeopardized his reputation for
gallantry to the fair sex last Wednes-
day. What appeared TO be tall,
muscular female, strangely afflicted
with the Grecian bend, was making
fast tracks towards the depot. The
supposed woman was extremely grace
full in her manners, causing men to
pause and look after her, and ladies
TO pursue her with eyes of envy,
While she was such an object Of at
traction to quite number Of the gen.
tier and as well as sterner sex, Col.
Dougherty was discovered hurrying
toward the supposed woman with
anything but pleasant visage. What
could it mean? His objective point
was certainly this supposed female
with the loyeliest Grecian bent. But
he was never known to look SO stern
when lady was about. People won
dered and watched. He reached the
supposed woman. He laid his strong
hand unceremoniously on the grace
full females shoulder; he ordered her,
in voice that was not the voice of
gallantry, to counter-march. The
supposed woman returned toward the
Executive mansion, from which she
had but few moments previously is
sued. the Colonel following. Several
gentlemen who had never before seen
lady treated in that manner in the
streets of Jefferson City, and were
therefore somewhat indignant, deter
mined to then and there enter their
solemn protest, and offer their pro-
lection, if necessary, to the graceful
creature with lovely Grecian bend.
They overlook Col. Dougherty and
stated the case. He smiled. He
abruptly raised the supposed female's s
dress, Stout limbs, inclosed in shiny
broadcloth pants, were disclosed. He
drew off the supposed woman's hood.
The half-shaven head of a notorious
convict appeared! 1t was Samuel
Thomas, sent up for four years and a
half from st. Louis. He attempted
TO escape some time ago, and half his
head was shaved. He Was employed
about the work on the Executive
mansion, and managed to procure a
full citizens dress, which he wore un-
der the female apparel. Where or
how he procured that or the female
apparel is unknown. But real wo-
man was seen watching for him down
at the depot, who seemed greatly dis
tressed at his detection and capture. y

FEARFUL SCENE.

A correspondent at Chicago writes:
One of the most dramatic and i'm
pressive sceres of the fire, not yet re-
corded, was the flight through the La
Sale street tunnel under the river
during Sunday night.
1t was about two o'clock when this
strange hegira began, and in ten min
utes it became furious rout. The
bridges on both sides were on fire.
and the flames were writhing over
the decks of the briggs in the river,
and winding their fierce arms of flame
around the masts and through the rig
ging like monstrous, luminous devil
fish. The awful canopy of fire drew
down and closed over Water street,
as the shrieking multitude rushed for
the tunnel, the only avenue of escape.
The gas works had already blown up,
and there was no light in any house
save the illumination which lighted up
only to destroy.
But into the darkened cave rushed
pell-mell, from all directions, the fren-
zied crowd-bankers, thieves, dray-
men, wives, children-in every stage
OF undress as they had leaped from
burning lodgings, a bowling, cursing,
praying, wailing mob, making their
desperate dive under the river. 1t
was as dark in the tunnel as it is in
the center of the earth. Hundreds of
the, ,fugitives were laden with furni-
ture, household goods, utensils, loaves
of bread and pieces of meat, and
their rush through the almost sutfo-
eating tunnel was fearful in the ex-
treme. They Knocked each other
down, and the strong trod on the
helpless. Nothing was heard at the
mouth of the cavernous prison but a
muffled howl of rage and anguish.
Several came forth with broken limbs
and terrible bruises, and scattered
and resumed their flight under the
blazing sky.

A good instance Of '.sharp prac-
tice" is that of q man of Ohio, who
was acquitted of murder on the plea
of insanity. He had secured his
lawyers by giving them a mortgage
on his farm, but now repudiates the
mortgage on the ground that he was
insane when he made it, according
to the showing of these same lawyers.

FUN AT THE FIRE.-I saw man on
Monday night looking intently and
seriously at his block of FIVE story
stores on Water street, then writhing
and roaring in the flames. l knew
him and watched him. His gaze was
rivited. I pitied him heartily, for I
judged that he was on the verge of
despair. At last ventured to ap-
proach and break his reverie. "Well,
Blake, what are you thinking of? ?"
said I. "Ah-hr' said he, with a
smile, 81 was thinking that the rats
must be catching -r'
I met another friend on Tuesday
walking thoughtfully around with q
piece of lead pipe. As approached
and saluted him he stopped, slapped
the lead pipe down on q brick wall till
it mashed fiat and then said, ''Jo,
that pipes all I've got in the world; !;
but I begin again tomorrow" /
met man on the night of the fire
who had lost first his store and then
his handsome residence on Michigan
Avenue. He was Juggling around a
marble mantle, with the heavy sides
attached. He laughed as he saw me.
and remarked, That's all there is
now; but I'm going to see if I can't
find another and build house to fit. {.
One more re:--it was yesterday that I
saw Blakely, editor of the Euening
Post, lowering around in front of the
ruins of the office. He picked up q
brick facetiously and spat upon it,
ssWhat for?" I asked. Seeing wheth-
er they're cool enough to clear out
and build over again, was the reply.
This reveals all Of the cheerfulnsss
there is. The mirth is rather forced !;
there is plenty of pluck, but it has &
solid substratum OF serious medita-
tion.

ONE-sIDED NEUTRALITY.

The Bulletin dismisses the parallel
drawn by the REPUBLICAN between Gen
eral Clark and G. H. Giddings, the rival
candidates in the third congressional dis
trlct IN Texas, as a matter only worthy of
submission to the Republican party.
This might do for Democratic organ,
but 1t will not stand the test of that ex-
allied virtue which the Bulletin has as
sumed under its new management. The
parallel was emphatic in the assertion of
certain distinctive qualities in the two
candidates, and on the superiority of the
Republican nominee we predicated the
assumption that he was entitled to a re-
election, not only at the hands of the Re-
publicans, but also by the votes of all
other reasonable citizens. As an indie
pendent paper the Bulletin had no right
to remit this question to a party, but it
was in duty bound, if it said ought on
the subject, to advise all just and indie
pendent men to investigate the merits of
the two candidates on the issues presented
In our parallel, and if they found General
Clark to be the best man and Colonel
to be the worst, to. vote for the
most worthy. This is our estimate of its
duty according to its published platform.

THE HOUSE OF REFUGE CASE.

We can not regard the result of the in
vestigation in the House of Refuge case
as at all creditable to the officers of that
Institution. There can be no doubt that
the man Schwind is too ready with his
strap. His system of controlling BOYS is
evidently force, and nothing else. And
he further betrays his incompetence and
nnftness to have charge of young bows.
or human beings of any age or condition.
when, for an alleged offense, rather trivial
in itself, be inficts castigation amount

and forty or two hundred lashes (for such
is the testimony of the witnesses), first
upon one boy suspected of being the cul-

do not know whence Mr., Schwind derives
bis authority to iafict corporal punish

brutal whipping upon boy for q thought
less offense. 1t is not as though the boys
CoppeH and Mccormack had forcibly re-
sisted the authority of the officers, and
were attempting to incite riot. In such
case, possibly, some severity would be
tolerated, and its necessity shown. But
for the rather light peccadillo of writing
an obscene sentence On his slate, even if
Schwind were sure of his BOY (Which
he was not as he had to whip two of them
before his virtuous wrath was appeased)
acastigation with heavy strap, even to the
lowest number of lashes sworn, to seventy
FIVE, was brutal punishment to infict
upon the lad. And the man guilty of
such treatment is not fit to have the
charge of young boys. For we must in
sist that the people do not provide insti-
tutions of the kind for the purpose of de-
moralizing the unfortunate youth who
are sent there to be cared for at the pub
lie expense. And the better sense of
mankind has long since rejected the he
roic treatment toward young people as a
punishment. 1t may be necessary occa-
sionally in emergencies as preventive,
but it is contrary to good policy and re-
Voting to humanity to permit domineer-
ing tyrannical officials, who have charge |
of prisoners, eonvicts, lunatics, and more |
especially young children, to beat those
over whom they are placed merely to
crafty feeling of anger, or from motives
of revenge.
If the officers of the Boys House of
Refuge can not maintain discipline over
the young boys by milder means than
were used by Schwind, they should be
removed, and men of better discretion
employed. 1t is no credit to New Orleans
hat we permit these helpless unfortu-
lates to be daily tortured in the manner
related in the Mayors parlor on Wednes-
Law
