a Narrow Escape.

Two little children, son and daughter, o.
Mr.. L. o. Roberts, went out the other day
to visit birds nest in stump. The boy
was lifted up by his sister, and in looking
down into the nest discovered q large
snake; the little girl had curiosity to see
the show, and was in her turn lifted up
Mr.. Roberts who was working near by
hurried to the spot, and found the snake
to be pilot; but on the top of the stump
but few inches from where the children's
hands had been, he discovered another
the exact picture of the first, coiled up and
gazing curiously at his visitors. The snakes
were about four feet in length, and are
known to be yenomous.- Aasonaanie Sicb-

By reason of the reduction of time that
the conyicts Of the Connecticut state pris-
on were formerly compelled work, pris-
oner, having served his time out, recently,
was enabled to depart with S i40 dollars in
his pocket, which be had made by over
work, and which will preclude the necesst
ty of his stealing until he can secure work
which his industrious habits in the prison
have fitted him for. This giving prison
ers reasonable opportunity of working
for themselves has had good effect wher e
ever It has been tried. 1t saves the CON-
plete killing of hope and encourages them
to better things. Most prisoners prefer to
labor than to Stay in their cells. 1t diver.s
their attention from their condition, makes
time pass more rapidly, and when they
know they can get the benefits of their
surpl us labor for themselves, their wives
or children, if they have any, they work ii
better spirit and with truer purpose to
reform. There is nothing better fitted to
make an honest man than good square
days work, with the knowledge that he
has earned his living and some thing over

aay The New York authorities have
been testing the destructive qualities of
dynamite and have come to the conclu sion
that it is the most powerful explosive sub
stance known. They had a series of
walls built, varying from eight to thirty
six inches in thickness, and soon blew
them to smitheteens. The Fire depart
ment are about to adopt it hereafter in
case of great fires where ii becomes neces.
sary to blow up house to save others.
We thought that nitro-glycerine was pow.
erful enough for all practical purposes, but
dynamite is ahead; tablespoonful if ex-
ploded in q mans pocket would not leave
any work for the cremationists.

TeIegraDhic,

Richland Center will soon be connected
Geographically with the rest Of the world,
the necessary amount Of money having al
ready been secured to Build line of tele-
graph from that place to Lone Rock, q
distance of sixteen miles. This leads US
to ask the question, why can't Dodgeville
be placed in telegraphie communication
with the outside werld ? We have at least
double the population, wealth and business
of Richland Center, and it is therefore
obvious that if line sixteen miles long,
between that place and Lone Rock, will
pay, a line eight miles long between
Dodgeville and Mineral Point would pay
a great deal better. We hope some of
our citizens who have surplus capital will
take hold of this matter. as by so doing
they will not only make paying invest
nent for themselves, but will confer a
benefit on the entire community. Who'll

Burglary and Attemptsd Murder.

At an early hour this morning Almost
remarkable affair occurred at the resi-
dence of Prof. g. S. Taylor, on Sher-
burne street on the high bluff lying be-
tween the head of jackson and Cana
da streets.
Mrs. Taylor has sister living with
her who is i'll and requires much
care. Last night she did not, on
this account retire until twelve clock,
and her husband remained up half an
hour longer. At quarter before three
Mr.. Taylor was awakened by noise
in the sitting room. adjoining the
bed room which he and his wife occu-
pied. He arose and opened the door into
the sitting room where lamp was left
burning, and saw short man with light
colored pants and loose baggy brown
coat. No sooner did Mr.. Taylor appear
in the doorway, arrayed in his night
clothes, than the sharp crack Of a pis-
tol was heard, and bullet struck Mr..
TAYLOR upon the left side of the head.
In an instant Mr.. Taylor grappled
his would-be murderer and then began
life and death struggle. With the
strength of man fighting for his life,
Mr.. Taylor, with the blood flowing
down his face and person, threw the
william to the floor and during the
struggle upon the floor he fred a
second shot, which fortunately missed
its mark and struck in the door casing.
The struggle was so short and exciting
that Mr.. TAYLOR is unable to state just
how the william threw him off, but he
began to feel the effects Of the wound
and not knowing how seriously he was
injured relaxed his grip and the man
rapidly ran out Of the front door and
down the bluff.
Other neighbors soon appeared. and
DR.. Murphy was summoned to attend
Mr.. Taylor, and also his wife, who is
greatly Frustrated by nervous ex-
element. The Doctor found that
the bullet had struck the left side Of
the head, little above and back Of the
temple. 1t had ploughed an open scalp
wound for about an inch, and then
passing under the skin had come out
near the crown Of the head, making
another rough, open wound of about
an inch. THERE'S also wound on the
back of the head which is supposed to
have been inflicted by blow from
the pistol during the struggle, though
Mr.. Taylor has no recollectian Of re-
ceiving it. The doctor does not think
the skull is fractured, and, if not. the
wounds though severe are not neces-
sarily dangerous. 1t is impossible to
tell the result at this writing, but with
the most rigid quiet and freedom from
visitors and excitement, there is no rea-
son for serious apprehension.
