We had it all arranged with the
captain of the p. G. E. 10 take us to
Sydney tor 1900 francs. That
was all the money we had with us,
and to have more sent would have
looked suspicious. The ships boa.
was to meet us half way behind the
rocks, which would hide the embar-
kation. We swan under water,
from rock to rock, and all the time
we could hear the guards on shore
talking to each other. Ah!c' etait
un moment terrible ! Eli bien !
c. est passei We reached the boat
and got Oh board, and we were far
at sea before they missed us. It was
so common for us to go in swim.

Reporter-Did the captain know
you at that time?
Rochefort-Not at all. He rec
ognized me atterwsrd by q picture
and threatened to take us back. l
promised him 10000 francs the mo-
ment we reached Sydney, and he
took us along. At Sydney | tele-
grapbed for money and paid him the
10000 francs. So my fraedom has
cost me just 1880 francs sS,9SS

It is really surprising to see the
wild and reckless bate displayed
in our governmental sffairs--the
mao impetuosity with which our
national legislators rush business
through their hands. For instance,
August 8, 1886, the Continental
Congress voted a monument to the
memory Of that gallant and able
gentleman, Gen. Nathaniel Greene,
OF Rhode Island, s in honor of f,ls
patriotism, valor and ability" May
IL, 1S74-only 81 years and 8
months atterward Congress adop-
ted a concurrent resolution directing
the location OF a site for an eqnes-
trian statue OF Gen, Greene, in con-
formity with the resolution Of l786.
1t may astonish the efete and tossi-
lized old fogy despotisrns Of Europe
to see US doing things with such
velocity, but it doesn't take away
the breath Of our fast American
people. Why, it will not surprise
us to see the statue erected before
1900. y

AMERICAN TWO.

Last evening the members of American

bled at the truck house for the purpose OF
christening their newly acquired horse.
The boys turned out in numbers, and the
occasion was marked with many evidences
of good fellowship. The usual ceremonies
were gone through wish, and Jim Cheva-
lier" now trots with higher head, on ac-
count of the name he bears. After beakers
of foamiDg Heidsieck were quaffed in honor
of the occasion, the boys fell into line
and serenaded their friends. The Bulletin
desires to return thanks for the double
extension of Americans appreciation of our
crusade in the two airs played, as well as
the cheers given. We appreciate these
marks of re ard. The following is list Of

The following curious occurrence took
place recently at the Salomonski Circus Of
Berlin. During pause in the performance
a fashionably dressed man descended into
the arena, and made sign to the
actors, the musicians and the public. Some
important communication was expected !;
the performance ceased, and profound silence
ensued. The newcomer then called out in
strong voice: is the midwife Hermann
heres" The question produced shout Of
laughter but as soon as the merriment had
subsidized, another voice from the second
tier replied in the affirmative. The querist,
perfectly undisturbed, then said: "Hasten
to the Carlstrasse, No. -, where you are ex-
pected with impatience." He then retired
majestically. without caring about the SEN
sation caused by this unexpected dialogue
The incident was the great success Of the
evening.

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.

In the Republican of this morning we
find a proclamation Of the de .tacto Gov
ernor, offering a reward of zone thousand
dollars for such information as shall lead to
the arrest and conviction of the murderers
Of Edward Claren." In the shor. time of
kellOgg's tenure of office it is SAID that no
less than nineteen felons have been the
recipients of his executive clcmency, and
the work Of emptying the Pententiary is
still progressing briskly. We submit, then
that in the present depleted condition of
the State treasury, it is both extravagant
ard useless for the Governor to spend such
sums Of money as he offers for the arrest of
murderers.
The creation of an additional criminal
court, and the appointment of an assistant
attorney general, are likewise unnecessary,
and only calculated to add to the taxation
Of the people. Why incur the expense of
arresting criminals, trying, convictng and
sentencing them. if Immediately there
after the Governor steps forward and turns
them loose upon the community to renew
their avocation Of pludering and murder
ing. Is the Governor so short of friends
that he is forced to make them out of ma
terial furnished by the State Penitentiary
Our opinion has been that. from the charac.
ter of the men who surrounds his Excel
lency, that valuable and very necessary
public institution had already been suffi-
GENTLY deprived of too many inmates upon
whom it had very just and proper claim.
But it would seem that, like Oliver Twist,
our de .facto wants, not +. more soup, but
more Fagns and Bill Sykes. However con-
genial this kind Of company may be to his
Excellency, we must protest in the name of
decent community against his thrusting
such of his associates into high places of
honor and profit. And should many more
convicted criminals escape punishment BY
the interference of his pardonng power,
Louisiana will soon be able to vie, in this
class of population, with Botany Bay, Sibe-
ria and New Caledonia.
