New York, Dec. 4..-Wm. NJ. Tweed
has escaped from Ludlow street Jail.
A dispatch was received at police
headquarters this evening stating that
VIM. NJ. Tweed had just escaped from
he custody of warden, DInham,
of the Ludlow street Jail. Word was
Immediately telegraphed to every po-
lice station III this city, Brooklyn and
neighboring cities, notifying the police
To be on the look out.
Warden Durham subsequently called
on Inspector Dilks, at the police CEN
trail Office and stated that he had
accompanied the prisoner TO his resi-
dence on the corner of Madison Ave
nue. and Fifty-ninth street, and while
there, requested permission tn see his
wife privately. Durham unhesita-
tingly granted the request and Tweed
Went up stairs To his wife's apartments,
leaving one OF his SONS to entertain
Durham and his depHty. After wait
ing about ten minutes Durham be-
came uneasy and sent young Tweed
up stairs to- tell his father to come
down Immediately AS they desired TO
return TO the Jail. In short time the
young man returned and informed
Durham that his father had gone.
Durham at once searched the house
but no trace of Tweed could be found.
Leaving the deputy in charge of the
house, Dunham hurried to the resi-
dence of Sheriff Conner and informed
tnat officer of Twedd's escape. The pD-
lice authorities We're promptly notified
and the central Office detectives at once
went out securing the city in all direc-
LiOns.
According TO IA report received by
the World at u late hour Tonight, Mr..
O'ConnOr's symptoms were decidedly
worse. The patient slept badly on
Saturday night, and rested but little.
Moth ing has been said to him of the
Tweed escape.
A report has been in circulation all
day to-day, but cannot be verified,
that Tweed escaped Il week ago, aud is
now far away from the country.
Sheriff Connor and Warden Durham
are liable to a fine ofa thousand dollars
aud one years imprisonment for their
neglect. If Tweed is not forthcoming
they will be apt to get the full benefit
of the law.

A SOUTHERN CHRISTIANS EVE.

Twas Christmas IN a Southern town,
The air was soft and sweet
And the sinking sun looked brightly down
On the gay and crowded street,
While roses and violets blooming near
Mace my little girl say, els 1t Christmas
CAT home the snow is on the ground,
The air is cold ard clear
And q eens and holly are hung around,
To help the Christmas cheer.
How can St Nicholas come in his sleigh,
III all the snow is melted away?
what will ne do with his big fur coat,
The icicles on his hair?
The tinkling bells wont sound q hote,
With no Jack Frost In the air.
,Twould just be folly, o mother dear.
To hang up my stocking-no Christmas
here"
But said. 'I see the Christmas star
High In these Southern skies
And the Christmas light is streaming far
And shines in the peoples eyes,
I'm sure 81. Nick will find the way
without Jack Frost and the reinteer sleig CHI
Early my little girl went TO bed.
mat the night might shorter seem:
ADd scarce had she pil!Owed her curly hsa
Than she dreamed a beautiful dream,
And wOndrOuS music seemed to bear
"A message OF JOY on the balmy air.
Nearer and nearer 1t seemed to come,

I'LL the Christmas light was In the room,
AZ Tie Christmas glory too;
W nile the angels song rang from the sky
"Al glory be 10 God on high!'
Gan glory be To God on high.
And peace, goodwill on earth!"
Thus JOY Gus rose the angels cry,
To hail Our Saviour's BIRTH

The light had dawned on Christmas-day.

Don't WORRY ABOUT YoURsELF.-The
Journal of Health says: To regain or recover
health, persons should be relieved from all
anxiety concerning diseases. The mind has
power over the body. For a person to think
he has disease will often produce that dis
ease. This we see effected when the mind is
intensely concentrated upon the disease of
another. 1t is found in the hospitals that
surgeons and physicians who make a spe-
cialty of certain diseases are liable to die of
1t themselves; and the mental power is so
great that sometimes people die of diseases
which they only have in imagination. We
have seen person seaSick in anticipation of
voyage before reaching the vessel. We
have known person to die of cancer in the
stomach when he had no cancer or any other
mortal disease, A blindfold man, slightly
pricked in the arm, has tainted and died from
believing that he was bleeding to death.
Therefore, well persons, to remain well,
should be cheerful and happy; and sick per-
sons should have their attention drawn as
much as possible from themselves. 1t is by
their faith men are saved, and il is by their
faith that men die. II he wills not to die he
can often live in spite of disease; and if he
has little or no attachment to life he will slip
away as easily as a child will fall asleep.
Men live by their souls, and not by their
bodies. Their bodies have no life of them
selves; they are only resources of life-tene-
ments of their souls. The will has much to
do in continuing the physical occupancy or
giving 1t up.

Jumping Seeds.
A CURIOSITY AT THE ST. LOUIS ACADEN
OF SCIENCE


OF SCIENCE.
AT the last meeting of the st. Louis AGA
DENY of Science, Professor Riley excited con-
siderable curiosity by some seeds which had
moving about on the table. He stated that
he had recently received them from Mr.. G.
W. Barnes, of San Diego, Cal, and that they
were generally known by the name Of Mexi-
can jumping Seeds" They are the apart
ments OF a tricoccuous euphOrbiaceous plaut.
Each of these apartments, or cocci. meas
urcs about one-third of an inch. with two
fiat sides, meeting at an ObtuSe angle. and a
third broader, convex side, with a medal
carina.
If cut open, each is found to contain a
single fat, whitish worm, which has eaten
all the contents of the seed and lined the
shell with delicate carpet of silk. The
worm very closely resembles the common
apple worm, and, indeed, is very closely re
lated, the insect being known to science as
carpocapSe saltitOuS. The egg of the moth
Is doubtless laid on the young pod, which
contains the three angular seeds. and thu
worm %naws into the succulent seed. which.
in after growth. closes up the minute hole of
entrance. just as ia the case Of the common
pee weeVil.
When ripe the seed is very light and as the
worm occupies but about One-siXth the
space the slightest motion Will cause the
seed to rock from one side OF the fiat sides 10
the other. But the seed is often made TO
jerk and jump, and, though this has been de-
nicd by many authors, Prof. Riley has had
abundant proof of the fact, and had seen the
seed jerked quarter of an inch forward at a
bound and raised several millimeterS from
the surface on which it rested. III the seed be
cut the worm will soon cover up the hole
with transparent membrane of silk and If
two OF the opposite angles be cut the move
ments of the worm can then be seen if the
seed be held between the light
1t then becomes evident that the motion is
conveyed by the worm holding fast by its
hind prolegs, which have strong hooks. and
then drawing in the head and darling it out
and swinging it from side to side. 1t is the
old story of the mouse in the egg. Professor
Riley presented description of the worm
and concluded by describing and exhibiting
still more wonderful jumping power i'm a
seed-like body which may be observed in our
own woods. 1t is little spherical seed-like
gall caused on the underside of the leaves of
the post-oak.

JOSEPH JEFFERSON is a most admirable
painter, but very few find 1t out. Ii is his
delight to sketch in water colors while sit
ting out on his pleasant lawn, and, when he
has amused himself sufficiently, tear the
painted paper into bits. A friend, who had
observed this tantalizing operation q hall
score OF times, one morning watched his op-
destroyed sketches and pasted them togefh-
er. The result disclosed q charming effort,
and he told Jefferson as much. Rip laughed
and said be was mistaken-there was "noth-
ing In it" But his friend insisted, and got
Jefferson to sketch another landscape. He
found that II was one of the amateurs pecu-
liarities to avoid following any spot In ma
ture closely. Jefferson takes bit from here
and there, and makes the whole graceful and
dashiug.
