How BazaIne Escaped.

Madame Bazalne has made a detailed
statement to the Pa is Figaro. Her story
is as simple as interesting. Having seer
with pain, she says, that ber husband S
health was rapidly giving way uoder the
rigorous prison treatment to which he was
subjected, she began to plead for an es'
cape. The Marshal consented after max
ing many serious objections, but not be-
fore counselling one more effort to procure
some amelioration of his state from Mar
sha de MacMahon. The latter said he
could do nothing. He could give nothing
but hope. Hope comes from God" re-
piled Madame Bazane and from that
moment she began her preparations for
aiding her husbands fight. 1t had been
agreed that if she wrote that she was sat
istied with the interview with the Presi-
dent this was to be taken as meaning the
contrary, and in an ink which is brought
out only by heat, she informed him Of her
plan. Leaving the children at Spa, she
went 10 Genoa aud hired a steamer for a
party Of pleasure, paying one thousand
francs day.. The captain was to obey
the orders of the young man, M. de Rull,
whatever they might be, if in reason. He
took Madame Bazaine and her nephew for
newly.married couple. and they inform
ed him that they were going to Nice,
where they would take on board domes-
tic. The young couple we're set on shore
IN the vicinity of their supposed villa.
Madame Bazaine went to engage boat,
and came up laughing aad frollicking with
her nephew as If the happiest creature in
the world. The man was ready to let his
boat. but wanted to send pilot along
With it. Madame Bazaine gave him a
piece of gold and told him to get it chang
ed, and wien bis back was turned the

was the Marshal already on his cord. He
had belt like that used by house. clean
ers, and with its aid he could fix the hook
and swing at ease whenever his arms we're
tired. 1t was in one of these nom ents of
repose that he saw the signal and answered
it. The boat pulled in shore as the Mar.

day he was safely landed in Genoa. But
how did the Marshal escape from his room,
bolted outside every night by the director?
He did not enter it at all. After his ev-
enlng walk he bade the director goodnight,
and the latter turned away, supposing
that the Marshal was going to his room ;

THE GOVERNOR OF NEBRASKA ON GRASS
HoppERs.-His excellency, Robert FuInas,
Governor Of Nebraska, has had close in
quiry made as to the condition of the crops
that State, and has issued proclamation
to tho people embodying the results. Re
says that information derived from the sew
eral counties las we'll as extensive person.
al observation warrants the assertion, that
though the crops are shorter than for sew
eral years before. there is not a failure.
and no ground for serious alarm as to the
general prosperity of the State. The
drOughty agricultural year, which has af-
fec,ed the whole United States, and tho
greater part of Europe, has had its effect
on Nebraska; and small grain, therefore,
not yielding as was expected at the end Of
June, are only an average in yield and
quality. The small grains were harvested
before the grasshoppers appeared; but, as
in States north and south this year, the
grasshoppers have done damage to the
farmers to considerable extent. Happi-
ly for Nebraska, however, very little but
corn has been subject to their ravages;
and corn is by no means destroyed, but
will range from half crop to possibly
almost an entire failure in few places.
The fruit crop of Nebraska is more in
quantity than ever before, but, as rule,
the fruit is inferior in size and taking tho
whole range Of agricultural products--bay,
grain, vegetables, roots and fruit--thc
State has never before produced so great
aggregate crops. No cases needing relief
are yet reported; but at number Of
points on the extreme western border, help
will be required by the poorer settler. who
have but recently come to Nebraska.
whose iarming operations, therefore. were
not extended and not varied, and who werc
depending on their corn crop alono for sub
sistence. Even those who may have 10
suffer, however, show no disposition to
abandon their homesteads. They need
employment; and in the ease Of the home-
steaders have to quit their lands for q
time to work in the towns. Says Mr.,
Furrans, "The moro fortunate Of our
own citizens will meet the former emerg.
ency by atFording employment, and Con.
gress, which alone possesses tho power.
will, nc doubt, promptly meet the second
emergonry.'

--Baron Anslem de Rothschild, died
in Vienna a few weeks ago, leaving quite
an amount of money. His estate has
lately paid tax to the government, fol-
lowing the death of its former owner, in
accordance with law Of that country.
This little assessment amounted to S3,-

the wealth OF the seven Rcthschilds, com.

Ways TO Success.

Over Fifty years ago, youth, working
on farm, asked his father to give him
money enough to buy gun. The old man
could not spare it, but the boy, nothing
daunted, found an old piece Of iron about
the place, and in the course of time con-
trived to make gun barrel out of it, with
the very meager facilities afforded by
country blacksmlth's shop. He had not
the materials to make lock and stock, so
he walked to the nearest town and traded
for the necessary attachments, and was
encouraged by the smith for having made
so good shooter: this gave him the am
bition to make another, so he went to cut.
ting out grludstones from the native rock
to raise the money for gun materials; in
a short time there was considerable de-
mand for guns of his make. During the
French war with Prussia, he was called
upon to furnish guns for the army, and in
less than eight months he made and delly-
cred to the government Of France rifles of
particular pattern, costing five millions Of
dollars, which amount was duly paid. The
same man furnishes rifles now for the
United States, South America, Rome,
Spain, Egypt, and Japan. The farmers
boy who wanted gun is Eliphalet Rem
iugton, Of Ilion, N. Y. His manufactory
covers four acres of ground, and he en-
ploys twelve hundred men. Not satisfied
with this achievement, he has recently
completed a sewing machine, which is re.
ported to represent the latest and most
perfect advance in the improvements of
this important adjunct of domestic econo-
my. This is the type Of the boy who,
when there is not way, makes way for
himself.
Many a youth would have sat down
and pouted, thinking over what hard
thing it was that he could not get a gun,
with hard thoughts against the father for
being so stingy. Not so with young Rem
ington; he wanted gun and was deter
mined to have it the very necessities OF
patience, and courage. and indomitable
persistence. If young Remington had
been supplied with a gun he would have
"gonc a cunning and fallen gradually
? into kind OF idle, loaing, aimless life,
burden to himself and o benefit to no
body. The very necessity Of effort has
been the making of many; while many
more, who have had their wants grati6ed
with the asking, have sunk into insigni6.
cance, and their name and memory have
long since pe,ished from the earth.
= Some people have been heard to ex.
press wonder that the human family
should be be permitted by Infinite Benev.
oence to struggle against poverty and
want. But as the human mind is consti.
tuted, it is better to struggle than to idle,
better to work than to wait; better to
lean on ones self than on another. 1t is
the men who, as boys. struggled for foot
hold in the world, who now WELD the
worlds destinies, and do the most to mold
its history.-HaVs Journal Of Health.
