A Wife's Stratagem.
PRISONER SENTENCED TO BE HANGED
MAKES HIS ESCAPE.

We were informed and so published few
days ago, that Martin Baynard was hanged at
Hendersouvile on the 18th. for the murder
of Silas Weston and three of his children
The publication was premature. We have
positive information that Baynard escaped
on the day set apart for his execution. Bay
nard's wife bad been permitted to visit her
husband during his Imprisonment. She was
granted the privilege of remaining with him
during ths night of the 17th., The jailor
visited the cell about sunrise, and Bayard
dressed up in the clothes of his wife, with a
handkerchief to his face and sobbing as if
heart would break. passed out and made his
escape: ,.
Some two hours or more after this occur.
renee, the jailor carried Baynard his break.
fast, and discovered that the occupant Of the
cell was-Nrs Baynard. She had on her
night clothing. ..s-.-
The Sheriff raised hue and cry and start
ed in pursuit, but to latest accounts the con-
demned has not been seen or heard Of. How
true the old saying-"There's many a slip
between the cup and the .ip." ,,....
Baynard's wife clung to him from the
time he was arrested, and now enjoys the
satisfaction ofsaving him from an ignominious
death. " ...
There were FIVE thousand people in Hen
dersonvilie to witness the hanging. Great
was their CONSERVATION when they learned

SOMETHING ABOUT Cup OF COFFEE
It has been truthfully said that even in
these enlightened days, and in the lands
most blessed By the influence of civilization,
there are thousands upon thousands Of per-
sons born into the world who live their long
lives and then 60 down to their graves with
out ever having tasted good cup of coffee.
There are many reasons for this, and the
principal one, of course, must be that SO few
persons know how to make good coffee. And
yet there have been thousands Of receipts
and directions published which teach us how
to make good coffee by boiling it; by not
boiling it; by cohfning the essence and aro-
ma; by making it in an open vessel; by sleeping
it; by not sleeping it; by. clearing it; by not
clearing it; by grinding it fne;, by grinding
it coarse; and by many other methods op-
posed to each other and to all these. Now,
we do not intend to try to tell anybody how
to make good coffee, but We wish to say a
word about the treatment Of the coffee after
it is made. And on this treatment depends
its excellence, brew it as you may. The rule
is simple-never decant it, Whatever else
you do about it, bring it to the table in the
vessel in which it wds made,. A handsome
urn or. gorgeous coHeepot is the grave of
good coffee. Of course, if it is considered
more desirable to have the pot look we'll than
to have the coffee taste well, we have noth-
ing more to say. But when hot coffee is
empticd from one vessel into another the
kitchen ceiling generally receives that es:
sence.laden vapor rwhich should have found
its way into the cups on the breakfast table.
And one word about these cups. When the
coffee enters them it shonld find the milk OF
the cream already there. BY observing these
rules ordinary coffee, made in almost any
way, is very often palatable indeed.
