Two LEApS.-There we're two remarkable
leaps here yescrday-rcmarkablc both for
their daring and for their harmless results. The
one was that of "a noted horse thief named ".
c, Tapscott who had been arrested in one Of
the western counties and was being taken to
Charlottesville for trial by j. +, Greasy the
deputy sergeant Of that place. When the train
had just emerged from the tunnel near the city,
and was running at full speed, the prisoner
made Il leap for liberty. He spraus suddenly
from the train down the cmbankmeut towards
the creek, among the rocks, with his hands
tied. performing several summcrsaulls in the
Hight. The train sped on, bringing the dis
committed uiiccrwth it to the depot. lie hastily
repaired to police headquarters, got two police
men aud hurried back tn Iuuk for his fugitive
charge. At last accounts he had not succeeded
in Ip-capturng him, and probably will not.

DEATH OF A REMARKABLE MAN.-Dled,
September l6, 1871, at Sandy Hook, Md, MIR.
JAMES 0 NEIL, at the patrlarchal age OF ninety
three years. In many respects MIR. U Neil was
remarkable man. Although far beyond the
allotted age of mankind, he retained to sin
gular degree and almost to the hour Of his
death the mental and physical vigor for which
he was noted. lnaSsuming and retiring to 4
fault, he yet had in his veins the blood Of the
proudest chlyalry Of chrlstendom, the o. Neils
of Tyrone the victors Of Benburb and 'The
\ elbow Ford and the bravest and most per-
slstent enemies Of Saxon domination in Ireland
His great age enabled him to recall from
memory that glorious though sad period in the
history OF his native country which is iumined
by the genius OF Curran and Grattan and the
heroism of Emmett and Fitzgerald Many Il
thrilling narrative could the old man relate of
the memorable Summer of 1893 when ut New
Ross, Oulard, Arklow, Vinegar Hill and Tiara
of the King" the peasantry of Wexford armed
with pixies and shot-guns encountered one hun
drcd and thirty-four thousand British soldiers,
many Of them veterans or Bunker Hill and
Brandywine-a struggle which though it end
ed disastrously for the patriots IS one Of the
most glorious in the annals of any people
For many years Mr. O'Nei had his coffin
prepared and painted by his own hands with
the national colors and emblem of his native
land. In this coffin he was buried, and there
is something very touching in this display Of
