rRoURLE WITH TIE CONvICrs.

As heretofore mentioned, the lessees Of
the penitentiary have several hundred con-
yicts at work on the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad, in Morgan county. But il seems
they are beginning to get troublesome N
these mountains, where some Of them have
friends TO assist them. We are reliably in
formed that last week some eight attempted
their escape, and all but two succeeded:
First, one Of them ''tried his luck, and
proving successful, two more walked OIL,
and the three have not been heard from
since. This embOldened others, and hye
at one time made the bold attempt, but
were discovered and fired into, aud two OF
them fell, the other three escaping ODe
of the two was thought to be MORALLY
wopnde,l. and the other very seriously, but
not necessarily fatal. The week they
first made their appearance, two OF them
made good theirescape. - hRcrr'Hs ChrOH-

INCARCERATION.
An "Outrage'' for the Chattanooga
ShriekeFR.

1t has been said that the course of true
love never did run smooth, and some events
in the lives of David Galloway, colored,
and Melinda Vines, white, seem 10 corrobo-
rate the truthfulness of the adage. Some
thing over two years since, Galloway was
sent to the wOrk-hOuse for ten months for
cohabiting with the female mentioned
above. At the expiration of his
time, lie took the woman who
had kindled such a flame in his
breast, went before colOred preacher. and
the twain were united i'm the holy bonds of
matrimony. For this little violation of the
law, the groom was sentenced TO the peni-
Tertiary for two years. After serving
twenly-one months Of his time, he was re
leased last Saturday. He was again ar
rested last night, by officers BrOderick and
Jackson, on the charge Of cohabiting with
4 white woman. Galloway and his Me
linda found lodgings in the wor6house
through the night.

What q Rum-Seller Contributes to
Society.

We find the following in an ex-
change, without any indications of its
origin. Itpresents the business ofthe
liquor dealer in striking contrast with
trades which are useful and honora-
Bile:
Every individual in society is ex-
pected to contribute something to its
advancement and interest. We re-
member to have read years ago, Of a
company oftradesmen who had united
themselves into a mutual benefit socie
ty, and each one had to relate what he
could contribute TO its support.
In turn, all the different trades and
professions applied, till lastly an indi-
vidual came in who wanted to become
a member.
And what are you?"
II am a rum-seller."
"A rum seller! And what can you
do?"
II can build jails, and prisons. and
poor houses"
And is that alp"
mo; | can fill them. | can fill
your jails with criminals, your prisons
with convicts, and poor-houses with
paupers.'
And what else can you do?"
Il can bring the gray hairs of the
aged to the grave with sorrow | can
break the heart of wife, and blast
the prospects of friends of talent, and
fill the land with more than the plaques
of Egypt
is that all you can do" r..
Good heavensl' cried the rum-sel-
seller, is not that enough?"

How a Reporter Lost his Situation.

It's said that in a moment of tenn
porary insanity Boston city editor as
signed 4 horse-racing, baseball and
aquatic rcnorter to report in half n col
urnn the Sunday services at the church
of Il sensational preacher. This is the
report be published, and for which he
was discharged:
The house met at 10 A. VI. Prayer
by the chaplain. The first race was
between the chaplain and the singers,
it being 4 pretty even match for the
first two heats; but the singers got the
best of the last three heats, and came
in on the sermon two lengths ahead,
winning the last three heats and race.
Time 6:02. Petitions were then pre-
scented for forgiveness and other SINH
lar matters, and notice was given for
special assignments during the coming
week for various objects. The singers
then sailed up 10 the judges stand. and
after getting into position, sailed away
on the course with all the canvass set,
and spanking breeze from the organ,
which drove them along in fine style.
The top rigge flag flying the blue pen
nant was well ahead of the feet The
sneaker then took the floor and an
nounced MS intention to ask that the
resolutions of censure that had been
heaped upon Annanias should be re-
scinded. and proceeded 10 read the re-
cords of the case, from which it APP
reared that Annanias had sold his
horse, and had not given all the price
TO the church. The speaker then went
on to say, that no reason appeared on
the records for Annanias TO give any,
and much less all, his property to the
church. and he questioned If any of
those before him would do any more
than Annanias had in the same place.
He then went on TO show that Anna
MAS had obeyed his wifein the matter,
and expressed the belief that few of
those before him could say as much for
themselves. After further argument
of a similar character, he moved that
the character of Annanias be and is
hereby declared A l by the members
of the house.
