Cure for EXPERIMENTATION,

Yesterday gentleman residing on Fifth
street found himself so affected by rheumatic
pains that he was scarcely able TO raise from his
bed without assistance. He called his landlord
and standing up with great difficulty declared
that lie was rot able to move one foot more tn IN
few inches in advance of the other so great
was the stiffness and pain. The landlord got
the sufferer with some difficulty to the kitchen
stove, and there commenced rubbing his feet
with kerosene. In an unguarded moment he
placed the vessel containing this inn ANNA
liquid on the stove, little OF il dropped on the
hot metal and in a moment the patients night
clothes ignited. At this catastrophe. wonder
full TO relate, the gentleman sprang nimbly into
the hall, ran 10 has bed chamber, and iumping
into bed extiDgushed the flames. He was bu. a
little scorched, but the cure was perfect and
strange to say, he has net since been troubled
with rheumatic pains.-SdH Francisco Bulletin

The orders required the guard-corporal to in
spect the prisoners room every two hours dur
ing the night, and in making one OF these
timely visits the object of so much unsppre-
ciated solcitude was found to have placed him
self beyond the reach OF annoy ance.
They visited the room, and there lay the pom
derous BALI and chain upon the hoor. The pal
let was yet warm where the prisoner had lain.
His shoes stood at the foot OF the bed; and UNI
der the table lay leaden rivet which htted the
hole in the aDge.ring Of the discarded shackles.
Under the window plate was inserted the IRON
poker from the fireplace, and to this was at
tached to what is known in the Quartermaster's
department as check-line, being piece of
leather stolen from some passing team, by
which he had let himself down and escaped
among the huge wagons, and thence TO the un-
inhabited wilderness.
Upon the mantel piece lay a battered and
heavy carpenters chisel, and with this the pri
soner hammered the mead OF his shackle-rivet
until IL had been broken of and removed. He
had then inserted the leathern one. made from
q musket-b ball, and worn II in that manner until
opportunity came. He was gone irrevocably.
In these eternal hills, upon such q night, no.
thing less than the chance which captured him
at first could take him again, and before the
dawn he would safely have crossed the Mexican
boundary. But would he have made the despe-
rate venture on foot, and without guide? And
what of the sentinel who walked back and forth
beneath .os window? The night WAS entirely
dark, art ma wall down which the prisoner had
climbed Was white,-why had he not seen or
heard? Strangely enough, in cases like this,
essential difficulties Is always overlooked until
the last. When the sentinel was sent for
he was found fallen in q heap beneath the
window, his back against the wall, limp, silent,
and still warm, his musket beneath his hand.
Not At once could they discover the cause of the
hurt, or how the prisoner had escaped him. II
was long before the cool head, the steady, des-
perate, hand, and the noiseless footstep, when,
in the storm, and gloom had approached the
man who stood beneath her lovers only hope of
escape, listening rather than looking, and with
his cape about his neck, closely hugging the
wall for protection against the wind; and while
he for whose sake her hand was 30 strong
watched her from the window, struck that one
swift stab in the back-that silent certain thrust
upward beneath the shoulder blade, which,
even now, in Spanish hands has given rest even
to kings. The rejecting Smythe turned away
more than ever regretting the morning he had
uttered his un,ucky wish 70 the ravens for 10th
he, there are no bars which can conhne, no cir
ccmstasces which can dannt, the combined
forces Of intellect, unscsupulousaess and love.

a short time ago the Secretary Of the Int
ror made regulation concerning returns Of
Pension Agents, requiring them to be accom-
panied by an oath On Friday last, W. T. Col
Inns, u S. Pension Agent for the District Of
Columbia, made his usual returns, but declined
to furnish the required oath. This fact was
reported to the Secretary, and was regarded as
sufficient to justify the closing Of the Agent
Office, and placing clerk therein to investigate
his accounts; which was done, with such results
as to lead to the request that he resign; which
he did, So far as discovered the deficiency is
$4,000. The Secretary Of the TGeasury has
been requested to make specialagsamiuation
into Collins accounts. Collins is MANNED
soldier; one Of FIVE or six who during the war
survived amputatiou at the hip joint. 1t is
stated that the derangment Of his system,
from the pains Of this old wound, at times in-
capacitated him for proper attention to his du-
ties He was the editor of the" Grand Army

that capacity 1t seems there is to be no end
to frauds and defalcations.

il is said that the republicans will gain three

The opening Of the new Commercial Exchange
Building, yesterday was the occasion ola happy
meeting of the merchants, mechanics and profess
sona and business men generally OF our
city, with their friends from the adjoining cities
and from the surrounding country. Every
thing, as was anticipated, passed off in the
most pleasant way, and the remembrances of
the affair will always bring up pleasurable emo
tons in the breasts of all who were present.
The report of the Chairman Of the Building
Committee, and the reply of the President were
excellent; while the toasts and speeches were
animated and we'll timed. The exhibit
made of the growth and commercial prosperi
ty of the city by Mr.. Worthiugton, will
be equally, surprising and gratifying :
while the views expressed by Mr.. Wash
il gton, President of the Association, de-
serve especial attention, as embodying the cor
rect ideas in respect TO the relationship that
should and must exist between country and city,
for the mutual prosperity Of each and the we'll
fare Of both /; and also in respect to immigra-
ton, capital and labor, succinctly but clearly
and forcibly expressed in his remarks which we
reproduce to day, in the account of the pro-
ceedings.
