This forenoon, Edward Beane, the
"torgetul" conductor, was visited, in
Jail, by his counsel, Mr.. Van Buren
and Mr.. Jacob Alder, Of Joliet, with
the view of making arrangements for
the prisoners release on bail. After
a brief consultation, during which
Beane reiterated his desire to leave
the prison as soon as possible, the
visitors withdraw and repaired to the
Criminal Court room, armed with an
affidavit. This document set forth
that Jacob Adler, of Joliet, was worth
a good many thousand dollars, in real
property, unincumbered, and was
therefore pecuniarily qualified to be-
come surety for his personal friend

A Daring Exploit.

The art of escaping from prison is
SO fast becoming extinct that it is a
relief to find an occasional daring ex-
ploit in that way. While the steamer
L'Orne. from France, was lying at the
port of Melbourne, Victoria, with 500
Communist prisoners on board destined
for the penal settlement of New Gale
donia, one of the prisoners, named
Sergine, at dusk got over the side Of
the vessel, and hanging in the por-
tauvans waited until half-past Z. when
dropping into collier, he lay conceal
ed among the GOALS until half-past 8.
He then tied his pocket book and
papers in his handkerchief to keep
them dry, and lowering himself over
the side of the lighter, swan to the
stern, where boat was in tow. Cut
ting the rope with his knife, and hang
ing to the portion of the rope which
remained, he drifted into the bay with
the boat until about 800 yards from
the vessel, when, hearing cry, and
thinking an alarm bad been given,
ne loosed his hold Of the boat and
struck out in the direction of the
lights on the Sandridge shore. After
swimming for about three-quarters of
on hour he caught the cable of ves-
sci and rested there for nearly an hour
In as tate of exhaustion. H then start
ed again for the shore about midnight,
and after half hours swim got safe

Vice President Wilson says of his
recent attack of paralysis, that he was
sitting at the tea table, in his usual
health, when he noticed the first symp-
tons. On raising cup of tea to his
lips, ho felt singular and numb SEN
sation in his mouth, but attended with
no pain. He arose and walked on the
lawn, the same feeling of numbness
speeding over the right side of his
face. On returning to the house he
saw, in the looking-s'a that his
mouth was drawn out level. Expert
encing no other inconvenience, he
wrote, that evening, eighteen letters,
and, the next day. went into Boston
and consulted his physician, DR.. Ed
ward Clarke, who has treated Mr..
Sumner for his spinal disorders. DR..
Clark examined him, and declared it a
case Of facial paralysis. He found
that small artery on the left lower
posterior lobe of the skull had burst,
and this lesion was, doubtless, the at
tendant, if not the cause Of the affection
on the right side of the face. He
positively forbade any mental labor,
and epjoined entire rest for some
months. A simple vegetable diet was
prescribed, and medicine to allay the
tendency of blood to the head, to which
Mr.. Wilson has been subject for many
years. Application of ice in rubber
was also made to the spine, and this
application is continued to the present
time, the ice being renewed three
times daily. Under this treatment
and he has none other, and none other
is proposed Mr.. Wilson has been
gradually regaining the muscular &C
ton of his face He is abstaining
wholly from study, though he reads
the newspapers, and is spending his
time in moderate exercise, visiting his

SENATOR BAKER AND HIS SPEECH.
Senator Bakers speech accepting
his nomination as Lieut.. Governor
is made the occasion of considerable
ridicule by the correspondent of the
Chicago Times who attended the con-
vention, and by various Democratic
state papers. Yet it would be doing
MIR. Baker injustice to suppose that
it is deserved. The truth of it was
that he was poorly prepared for speech
making-it is at present, "out Of his
line"-and in the excitement of the
moment, with threelor four hundred

ticising his maiden effort it is to dis
credit that he did as we'll. Fairchild

public speaker. His heart is right,

publican party, and his earnestness,

Daring Feats Of an AerOnaut

BELoIT, WIS, Sep. l, l873.-Mr
h. A. Palmer, she aeronaut, gave an
exhibition to large audience at the
Beloit Driving Park on last Friday.
The day was clear and calm, and his
large balloon rose in almost a direct
line. Mr.. Palmer had no basket nor
was he tied or secured to the trapeze
or rings on which he performed bis
hazardous feats the balloon being in-
fated and held down by twenty men,
the aeronaut seated himself on the
trapeze bar, and cried "let 60, every
body" when the balloon went up like
a shot. When at the height OF 1000
feet, Palmer let 60 the ropes, and, fall
ling backward, hung by his toes 20 the
bar; his toes slipped from the bar,
and as he dropped his hands caught
the two rings which were suspended
eight feet below the trapeze; his feet
swung downward, and he was seen
hanging by one hand to a ring, way
ing his handkerchief to the wondering
mortals below. This feat has never
before been attempted, and Palmer
performed it here for the first time.
His daring and skillful performances,
which were continued until the balloon
began to descend, were brilliant and
thrilling.
Mr.. Palmer is about % years old,
and has made more than one hundred
and sixty balloon ascensions. He un-
derstands and attends to his business,
and is undoubtedly the most daring
aerial gymnast in the world

The New Counterfeit.

A very dangerous counterfeit $500
greenback of the issue of 1859 has
made its appearance in New York.
1t is so perfect an imitation of the gen.
uine that it is thought the Treasury
department will have to call in the en-.
tire issue (s35, 1000, ,OO0) of the class of
legal tender notes to which it belongs.
The following is a description of
the differences between the genuine
and counterfeit $500 legal tender note
of the issue of 1869: The upright
that holds the balance of the scales in
the hand of the female figure shows a
white line in the counterfeit on the
lower part of the palm of the line to
the second finger. In the genuine
note the upright is quite black, and
lost in the shadow The lower part of
the right lapel of the coat in the por-
trait of Adams in the counterfeit forms
an angle. In the genuine it is dis
tlnct curved line; also, the buttons on
the counterfeit are irregular in shape,
while in the genuine they are decided
ly round, and dark in color. Particu
lar attention is called to the button on
the left side of the coat in the counter
felt In the word "Washington," in
the counterfeit note, the black shade
forming the first stroke of the letter w
forms an angle at the bottom Tn the
genuine it forms curve in ruled shad-
ing. Under the right hand stroke of
the letter W, and over the letters A
and S there are four ruled lines in the
counterfeit. There are but three in
the genuine note under the letters A
and in the word Washington. In
the counterfeit they are FIVE ruled lines
and in the genuine, four. Also, un-
der che letter Fl in the same word
there are four ruled lines Ia the coun-
terfelt, and In the genuine three. At
the bottom of the letter T in the de-
nomination title there are five ruled
lines In the counterfeit, sand in the
genuine six. The localized fiber or
the left OF the portrait is blue; in the
genuine without color In the coun-
terfeit is read seal in the genuine it
is printed in delicate carmine color.
In the counterfeit it is more of brick
color, and has heavy appearance,
more especially in the rays which form
the outside of the seal. Attention is
called to the blurred and soratchy ap-
pearance of the lathe work and letter
ing on the back Of the counterfeit,
which, upon comparison with the gem
use, will be readily perceived.
