POSTMASTER GENERAL JEWELL. - The
Chicago Times Washington correspondent
pays the following well morited tribute to
the postmaster general:
This new postmaster general is narrowing
to the Washington mind The lady corre-
spondents have emptied their epistolary trea-
Gle all over him because he is good to look
upon. A handsome middle-aged or old man
swoops in the whole feminine admiration at
sight Dapper popiujays on the younger
side Of five.and-thirty can put that fact in
their cOnceited pipes and smoke it. But it
is not the imperial front of this silver hair
ed and bearded Jove of the postal department
which SO much bothers those who see, know,
and seek to study him. 1t is that be sits in
his Office from 8 in the morning till 6 at
night, planning, reforming, rctrenching i'm
proving. 1t is that he, a gentleman, who
counts his private dollars by the hundred
thousand, and who has edged along to the
years when men who can do so begin to in
vite ease, a late morning bed, and postpran-
dial siestas, imagines he was made cabinet
official to do hard work. 1t is that he has
taken right hold of his duty like hired
man. 1t is that he discovered an infallibie
eye for leaks, an unerring nose for incompe-
tents, from the word 60. 1t is that he at
tends cabinet meetings to advise and sug-
gest, not to whisper low and in a bondsman's
key that every thing is lovely and that the
executive goose is the idol Of forty million
freemen. 1t is that he is proving the ideal
postmaster general, proud OF his position and
proud Of his country, and believing that all
his attention to business is still insufficient to
meet the requirements Of his eminent station.
"Of course" chants Sir Shallow Pudding
Head, "the new broom sweeps clean" So
it does. But 5 it has been sweeping effect
lively at the head Of great manufacturing
establishment in Hartford, at the governors
house in Connecticut, at the Russian ministry
and elsewhere 10 these many years, we may
rest certain that it will brush with steady
vgor uuti its successor is named. There
has been no such intuitive grasping Of the
duties of a cabinet position by fresh man.
the past generation. In the two months of
his incumbecny he has turned out extravaganza
encouraged economy, systemized big and lit
tie details "lie is trying to manage the
post-otice department as if it were big
mandatory in New England" whine his
prodded barnacles. Having sold all my
establishments of that nature in the part Of
the country indicated, cannot answer as to
the justice Of their complaint. But he who
runs may read,-if anybody is dementcd
enough to ever read and run at the same
time,-that Marshall Jewell is getting more
useful work for less money out OF the United
States broad.spread postal department than
was ever achieved by any preceding monarch
of the mailbag.

The annual meeting of the Massachusetts
State Council of the Sovereigns of Industry
was held in Worcester on Tuesday of last
week, VIM, j. Uressey, of Newburyport,
tho president, made the annual address, con-
graduating the members on their brilliant
prospects for the future. There are now in
the state 100 coun cils,with a membership Of
over 10000. Isaac Il. Chase Of East
Cambridge was elected president. Mr.. T..
A. Thompson Of Minnesota lecturer Of the
National Grange, Patrons Of Husbandry
visited the council aud made remarks touch
ing the similarity OF interests of the two or
ders, and resolution extending the right
hand of fellowship to the State Grange was
adopted, and committee appointed to con.
vcy the greeting.
As some have limited that the Fairbanks
firm are opposed to the order, we would say
that we personally know that such is not the
case. The members Of the firm express
themselves pleased to see the organization,
as they recognize in it a means for improv-
ing their workmen aud others who may be-
long to it. We make this statement the
more cheerfuly as we have taken the troub-

suppose company so noted for humanity
and sagacity would act SO far in opposition
to both these principles as to oppose an in
stitution of this kind. The talk among OPP
ponents Of the council that workmen would
be discharged on account of their connection
with the order hasn't scared the Sovereigus
half so much as the low prices at which they
are buying goods brighten the merchants.
The council at Montpelier has bought 80
barrels of flour at 500 and 5 barrels of

some Of the merchants there they make very
good terms, while others are reported as APP

ESCAPE OF Two PRISONERS FROM THE PM
| TESrIARY--ALBgRT Fo RT UNR AGAIN A
LInERTY.-During the heavy rain which fcl
between half.past and O'Clock yesterda,
morning, Albert Fortune and Scott Eggles
tor (both colored) escaped from the peni
tentiary. They were confined together in
cell on the ground floor, and by some mean
yet undiscovered, cut through two iron bar
of the window, and got into the yard which
divides the workshops from the main por
ton Of the prison. They then went to the
engine-room, and took down long pieceol
leather betting and some rope, and with O
ladder obtained In the same room, easily
scaled the inner and outer walls, The guard
on duty In the workshop yard neither saw nor
neard their movements. The guard on the
parapetef the outer wall saw the last one
OF the prisoners as he was in the act OF
clsmblng up, and fred at him, but without
ehect, the shot striking gas.lamp very near
oy. The prisoners descended the outer wall
WIN the aid Of the rope and betting they
haa provided themselves with. Though the
en!ire guard was turned out upon the alarm
oeing given, and though strict search of
the near neighborhood was made, no clue to
the course of the fugitives was obtained.
Albert Fortune is noted horse-thief, and
has led life Of dangerous adventures.
twice before, within the past four or five
years, he escaped from the penitentinry. Last
year, after being ut liberty for many months,
he was apprehended in Baltimore, and only
surrendered after desperate flight through
the streets. On his way back in custody of
an officer, and when between Ashland and
Richmond, he jumped from the cars, going
at full speed, and, manacled and spanceled as
he was for the time being, escaped, though
dreadfully hurt. The Superintendent placed
him in the cell which he so unceremoniously
left yesterday morning with the especial pur.
pose Of having him always under the eye OF
the guard. .. .s.-..
One Of the guard examined his cell win
dow about midnight, and found nothing to
excite suspicion, and he was then apparently
asleep.
Fortune is bright mulatto; is about
thirty years Of age; was raised in the neigh
borhood of Fredericksburg, and was serv'
lug out term of thirteen years for stealing a
mule. s.-.. ....
Scott Eggleston is black negro, about
thirty-fye years Of age; was sept from Hall
fax county for twenty-three years for house
breaking and robbery, and had served out
about eight years of his time. His left leg
is crooked and deformed, and is eleven OF
twelve inches shorter than the other. :.
The board of directors Of the penitentiary
yesterday, with the advice of the superin-
dent, dismissed the guard who was on duty
in the workshop yard when the two pri-
soners made their escape.
