Wednesday, from Orlot Miller. Riley wa!
not arrested until Thursday evening, ant
was then in such a condition that Esqr
Laundcr thought 1t best to postpone the
examination until the prisoner had become
sober. Another consideration inducing
the Justice to defer the investigation was
the fact that Riley had bundle of cloth
ing with him which it was believed he had
obtained possession Of in a manner not al
together legitimate. lie was therefore
committed TO Jail. Yesterday afternoon
he was brought before Esqr. L., when moi
only Miller was present to identify his
property, but also the returned Califor'
nian, mentioned in another paragraph aa
having lost part of his wardrobe Thurs
day, at James j. Fosters just south
OF the stone bridge. He testified to
the identity OF q hat, pair Of pants and a
comfort found on Riley's person. The
case was so clear against the prisoner that
the Justice determined 70 send II to the
Circuit Court for further investigation.
He therefore required the accused 10 give
bail 10 the sum of two hundred dollars
for his appearance at the next term Of
that tribunal. This requirement Riley
could not meet, and he was remanded To
Jail.
From the foregoing 1t would seem that
the prisoner had entered Fosters house
and carried of the clothing before he was
arrested for robbing Miller. Two cases
will probably be made out against him,
and his prospects for large but nom
lucrative law business may be set down as
being good.
LOOK OUT.-Saturday SfternoOn, about
one o'clock, thief entered the house Of
James j. Foster, (who lives on the west
side Of Main street, just beyond the south
end Of the stone bridge) and going up
stairs, helped himself TO as much cloth.
ing as he would need during the winter.
Alter he had returned to the street with
his booty, a little child saw him and gave
the alarm. Our informant did not know
whether he was arrested or not Among
the articles carried off were q pair of
pantaloons belonging TO returned Cali.
iOrnian, one Of the pockets Of said un-
mentionables containing two gold pieces

the thief will be caught, and that our
citizens will watch Closely,the front doors
Of their residences. There Is a gong Of

as they need both food and clothing this

THE LARGEST ROPE IN THE WoRLp-A

The LARGEST ROPE IN THE World.
account Of the largest rope in the world, as
described in one Of the daily papers Of Bir-
mingham, England-the place Of its manu-
facture-will prove interesting to the Amer
lean reader. According to the details CIV
en- the rope is II 900 yards long, measuring
five and one-fourth inches in circumference
and weighs over sixty tons. Made Of pat
ent charcoal wire, laid round hemp centre,
the rope consists of six strands, with ten
wires in each strand. Eeach wire measures
-, 100 yards, SO that the entire length of
the wire reaches the enormous total of more
than four hundred and twelve miles. To
this is to be added the length Of yarn used
for the centre, namely, tventy-seven threads,
each thread measuring $4,000 yards, and
giving a total length Of about two hundred
and thirty miles, Adding together the wire
and yarn there is grand total of six hun
dred and thirty.fve miles of material all
going to make up monster wire and hemp
rope little under six miles long.

A New INVENTION IN FIRE ARMS BY AN
EAST TENNEssEEAN.-W were shown yes
terday the model Of a new engine, of war,
which, for capacity to destroy and Stay, bids
fair to eclipse everything which has prece-
ded it, in the line Of fire arms.
The wooden model contemplates the use
of the minnie ball-but the principles are
equally applicable to arms carrying much
heavier metal.
AT a range of 100 to 1900 yards, adapt
ed to the ounce ball, this gun proposes to
discharge broadside of 100 shots every one
and half seconds, or 1000 shots per min.
ute-aggregating 100000 balls per hour.
The excessive heat of the barrels, genera
ted by such rapid firing, is fully provided
for by an ingenious contrivance, which
serves to absorb and carry it away as rapidly
as it develops.
The piece is loaded, fired and cleaned
instantly, and yet the machinery is so SIM
pie that every movement is governed by the
up and down action of lever in the hands
Of the operator or gunner. The firing may
be in vollies of 100, Or by four shots at a
time slowly Or rapidly as the gunner may
choose. The success of the invention is
demonstrated by the perfect action of the
wooden model
The inventor is Mr.. James P. Taylor,
Of Carter county, eldest son Of Hon. N. G.
Taylor. -KnonviNe Wing and Register.

Editors Of the Enquirer
"Gentlemen read in an issue of your

count Of my es.ape from your city Jail, in

It seemed to place me alongside such men
as Jack Sheppard, &C., but my pride was
momentarily reused, for in the same paper I
saw Gov Walkers Proclamation Offering
but pitiful 500 reward for my arrest &C.,
now is not this too bad, that amount for a

make it 81 900 at least and that is too
small--those two distinguished gentlemen
who left with me, I parted from at the

few dollars aud some wholesome advice
which l trust they will profit by, / bid them
