WRONG END UP.-INGENIoUs ATrENPT OF a
| PRISONER TO ESCAPE PROM JEFFERsoNvILLE
PENlTENTIARY.-A very ingenious, novel, but
unsuccessful, attempt on Saturday, was made
by a prisoner confined in the Jacksonville,
Indiana, penitentiary, to effect his escape.
Some Of the convicts are employed in making
spokes for the Southern market. The prison.
eT, whose name we were not able 70 learn,
was engaged, with several companions, in
packing these spokes in boxes about six feet
long and three feet deep. lie had evidently
been employed for some time in connecting 4
plan, with the aid Of a fellow prisoner, to
free himself from the temporary death Of
imprisonment, and displayed an amount of
care and skill which would have rendered
his escape certain had it not been for an
unforeseen accident.
lie had arranged one of the boxes in such
manner that by the use Of string he
could open one end at his convenience. lie
had entered this box with beating heart.
in anticipation Of soon breathing the pure air
Of liberty, and the box had been tightly
nailed up by his companion. This box,
alon With others, was removed to the ware.

Up 70 the time that the box was deposited
the warehouse all had gone well with the
occupant but, alas for the success Of his
wel-laid plan. the box was placed 50 that he
was compelled to stand on his head, and be-
ing tightly confined, he was not able to work
upwardly, feet foremost, out Of his narrow
prison. lie bore this painful position very
heroically for about twenty minutes, when
nature being unable to stand it longer, he
cried out as loud as he could.
"Turn this box up the other way
The bystanders were struck with panic
at hearing a voice coming from the midst Of
their freight, and We have no doubt that
they could all have been easily converted to
Spritualism at that moment The cry being
repeated they fnall gained courage enough to
open the box and release the prisoner, who
was taken to his old quarters, irm in the
belief that the lates were against his release.
The attempt is pronounced by the officers
of the prison to be the most ingenious one On
record, and would certainly have resulted in
the escape Of the prisoner had it not been
that the box was placed by chance with the
wrong end upward.-ladinq. Paper.

The Indiana Legislature on Tues
day passed an act to provide for the
payment of the outstanding Wabash
and Erie Canal bonds, which action
protects the State against the
threatened attempt to saddle an
immense debt on the people. The
Legislature also passed an act re-
pealing the Draining Law, which
has been the subject Of much COM
plant in Northern Indiana. There
can be no doubt that the law worked
unfairly, and though the ostensible
object was a good one-the drain
ing ofthe low lands lying contiguous
to the Kankakee River-it is ques-
toned very much whether the work
proposed by the company operating
under the law would have accom-
plished that purpose. At any rate
the men controlling the company
operated bungingly, and, whether
Intentionally or otherwise, very un-
Justly. It is well that the entire
law should be repealed. A substi-
tute for it is under discussion, and
will probably pass during the pres
ent or regular session.

ssHURRAH FOR WOMEN.ss

We love women-old or young
simply because they are women.
Our mothers spank us; our sweet
hearts spoil our joys by flirting with
our rivals; our wives read us gen.
uine or moderate Caudle lecture,
which we usually deserve. Women
have laughed at our woes when in
dulging in the tender passions, rid
die our heart with Erosiam arrows,
depleted our pocket-book, disturb
ed our slumbers, spoiled our coffee,
rumpled our starched linen bosoms,
hung to our arm with her whole
precious weight when our corns
hurt us most, danced us into o
prespiration, and caused us to buy
lozenges for a cold; but, in spite Of
all these things, we love her. We
set her up as an Idol and prostrate
ourselves before her as before some
divinity. We don't care copper
what dry goods cost, SO she looks
sweet. We viii fight for her like a

The verdict of the British Court
of inquiry at Nassau in the Missouri
steamship accident, by which sew
enty-three lives were lost, is to the
effect that the vessel was hurriedly
put to sea without any trial of new
machinery; that the fire originated
from imperfectly and ly-felted
boilers that the hapless vessel was
SO equipped that its few boats could
not be safely lowered and that no
the alarm of fire all was confusion,

Dencficent Effects Of Woman SUI.
frAge IN Wyoming

Laramie City is one Of the most
inviting in its appearance of all the
new cities we have seen since leay-
ing Omaha, and the people. are OF
an excellent class, One feels at
home as soon as he gets here, and
no longer feels it SO great o wondes.
that people are. content to live
away out here among the Rocky
Mountains. The fact is, since the
opening of the Pacific railroad, this
and the other places along its line,
once so far away, are now compar-
atively near even to the dweller on
the Atlantic coast There is one
thing which, perhaps, explains the
admirable condition of society IN
Laramie City. Women vote in Wy
oming Territory, and hold Office.
They vote at the same time and
place as the men; and we are told
that there is no commotion or con
fusion at the polls. On the contra
~, the highest respect Is shown BY
men to the woman voters; and we
are assured that if any one should
offer the slightest disrespect or in
suit to a woman at the polls, he
wonld be ,summarily dealt with on
the spot: Woman act as Jurors,
and one gentleman, who was instrl-
mental in bringing about this state
of things, gave us an j interesting
account of the moral influence which
jurors have exerted over those of
the sterner sex. It appears that
the women, mindful of their high
duties and solemn responsibilities.
endeayored to prepare themselves
for the work of each day by humbly
seeking divine assistance, by prayer
"a service which it was understood
was not especially observedb by men.
The result was, however, that in q
short time all the jurors began the
duties of the day by joining in the
religious services of the morning
Our informant also told us that a
Western man never brings forward
the argument that the voting by
woman is going to occasion discord
and unhapiness in the family. He
would be ashamed to thereby ad-
NIT that he was unwilling to have
his wife hold opinions, lest they
might differ from his own; end the
Western man never brings forward
the argument or statement that it
is no place for woman at the polls
because of the vileness of the place
or of the persons there assembled,
for he would be ashamed to there
by admit that he or the masses OF
his sex are SO low that they are not
fit to meet women in public. And
SO the waman question appears to
be nearly settled for the present in
Wyoming, or at least in Laramie
City. I ought to add that one hap
py result of the, prominent place
which has been accorded to women
in Laramie, has been to entirely rid
the place of drinking saloons, wo-
man of questionable character
blacklegs, and the whole race ot
prominent candidates for the prison
and the halter.-New York Post.

The report that the Senate is
about to consider what legislation
can be had to relieve the stringency
of the money market-if relief
might be expected from Legislation
will rather excite uheasiness,
coupled as it is with the suggestion
of an increase Of legal tender notes.
It is the universal desire of intelli-
gent business men that the country
may be saved from special legisla-
ton, and Legislative tinkering that
can only delay the return of the
country to it's normal condition and
prolong the heyday of stock gam
blers and gold brokers.
