Marshal Bazaine's Escape.

PARIS, August lI.-There is great
excitement in this city in consequence
of the receipt of intelligence that
Marshal Bazaine escaped from the
Island of Sainte Marguerite some
time Sunday night. The details of
the manner in which he succeeded in
getting away are unknown, except
that he used q rope-ladder and got
on board a vessel bound for Italy.
The night was dark and stormy. The
Journals Of this city declare that the
Government will act promptly and
energetically in furnishing all who
connived at his fight.
LoNDoN, August 1.-THE follow
ing interesting particulars Of the es-
cape of Marshal Bazaine from his
prison on the Isle of Sainte Margue-
rite have been received. The apart.
mehts occupied by Marshal Bazaine
opened upon a terrace, which Yss
built upon a lofty and precipitous cliff
overhanging the sea. A sentry was
posted on the terrace, with orders to
watch the prisoners every moment.
On Sunday evening the Marshal
walked upon the terrace with Colo
mel Villette, his aide-de-camp. At ten
O'Clock he retired as usual, apparent
ly to sleep, but before daybreak be
had effected his escape. He must
have crossed the terrace in the dead
Of night, and GLIDING the sentinel,
gained the edge Of the precipice.
Thence by means of a knotted rope
he descended to the sea.
He evidently slipped during the
descent and tore his hands, as the
place was stained with blood in sew
eral places. Under the cliff, in a hired
boat, were Bazaine's wife and cousin
They received him as he reached
water, and Madame La Marechal
taking the oars herself, rowed direct
ly to a strange steamer which had
been lying of the island since the
previous evening. They reached the
vessel in safety, were taken on board,
and the steamer put to sea. It is
thought they have landed at Genoa,
as the steamer passed in that direc-
ton.
The first news of the affair came to
Grasse, the nearest place on the coast.
and the magistrates of the town i'm
mediately sent officers in every direc-
ton to search for the fugitive. There
was great commotion at Marseilles
when the fact became known. An in
vestigation was opened. Col. Eillette,
who was walking with the Marshal
on the evening Of his escape, was
discovered there and imprisoned.
The Commandante Of Fort Sainte
Marguerite was placed under arrest,
and Gen. Lavalhas goneto the island
to investigate the affair.

Another dispatch says: An acei-
dent to an excursion train happened
on the Trenton Railroad, near Ed
bingham Station, about seven o'clock

was a-mistake Of the switch-tender,
who, having no notice Of the excur-

switch right and then in confusion
put it back. An extra car, next to
the engine, was ~telescoped with the
next passenger car. Five deaths are
reported with fourteen persons seri-
ously wounded.
PHILADELPHIA, August 15.-This
morning a dispatch was received
from Cornwall to the effect that an
excursion train from Norristown col
lided with a train Of coal cars at that
place, killing three excursionists and
wounding several others. The tone
of the dispatch is terrible enough,
but an investigation into the affair de-
velops one of the most heart-reuding
disasters hat has happened on any
road from this vicinity for a long
time.
Cornwall is a station on the PhiIa-
delphia and Trenton Railroad Ga
branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad)
about twelve miles from this city, in
Bucks county. At an early hour
this morning a long train of coal cars
had been thrown upon a switch to be
drilled for running south, and through
a want acknowledge or negligence on
the part Of the switch-tender. the
switch was not replaced.

The grasshopper is not as big as a
thousand other things we can name,

devilment ia its carcass as was ever

anything that ever lived or breathed.
Stories have been Published Of how
they completely blockaded railroads

as a fanciful production, existing only
in the Imagination Of the reporter.
And still these stories were not i'm
aginary.

tell and Beattie. The insects covered
the track two inches thick, and the
engineer was completely at his wits
end to know what to do. He under
stood a soaped track, but the track
covered with grasshoppers was a nov
city. He put on all the steam be
could and tried to drive ahead, and
yet he was nine hours making eleven
miles. How many grasshoppers
were killed no one will ever under.
take to say.
Yesterday morning Conductor Scot;
Sharp pulled out Of Seneca on time,
and thought be would have an easy
run to st. Joseph. In this be was
slightly mistaken. Two miles oct
the track was completely block .ded
by grasshoppers, and the engineer
found it impossible to proceed. He
hated to be beat out by such tri-iing
insects, but finally had to run bark to
Seneca aud wait until the insects had
crossed the track on their way south

These stories look a little rough,
but then they are true.
