A ZIG JAIL CIEr.

Boss Tweed has gone travelling.
Last Saturel ~ evening, having re-
quested to leave Jail long enough
TO see his wife, he was accom-
panied to his own mansion by
posse of deputy sheriiFs. After
few minutes "chat," he informed the
officers that his business was of
nature that required him to see her
alone. The pair then withdrew to
TIE chamber, and the officers waited
about fifteen minutes for the private
conversation, when they became I'M
casy and sent his boy to look for
him. The lad returned with the
reply that his father was not there.
The officers began a diligent search.
sending information TO all the police
stations in the city, and warning
themto bcun the alert. 1t is thought
that instead of going up stairs, he
was let ont of back door, but still
there Is great mystery as to how
with fifteen minutes the start, man
SO we'll known could battle search so
long, or escape entirely. Strong
suspicious are entertained that the
officers were implicated in the STRAIT
egy, and some believe that he escaped
a day before il was made known 10y
them. The officer in charge had
given bonds to the amount Of $40
0oo for his safe keeping, and it
seemed certain that the trial of the
prisoner was an event that would
tauSpire in the near future. Every
thing depended on keeping the
prisoner in his cell till that day. An
almost criminal neglect of this will
IN AL probability enable him to evade
justice. Il would seem, however,
difficult for him to escape detection
long in country where caricatures
have 50 thoroughly penetrated, as
his have through Hups+s Uc.k{y
in every o,antry where the Eng
li,h language is read. The old bird
may possibly be captured, aud again

suit.

Mineral Point continued to increase
in population, and in the number Of

ance. So that in 1886, when it was
fixed upon by the Governor Secretary,
and Judges, as the place at which
they would take the oath, and first
assume the respons bilities of their
offices, it was the county seat of Iowa

ulation than any other town in the

the Wisconsin River, east by the line

The first session of the third Legis.

Point having gone into operation with
no capital except it's charter, had
managed to throw upon the community

/ appreciate the compliment implied
in the vote of the assemblage at the
City Hall last evening over which you
presided, by which | was requested to
furnish a copy Of the historical ad-
d ess in regard to Territorial Legisla-
ton delivered by me. The address
if it can be signified by that name
is mere collection from the journals
and newspaper files Of the times, of the
prominent proceedings of the differcn t
sessions of the Legisla i've assembly from
1886 to 1913. aud was read before the
State Historical Society about six
years since, Tor which purp ose it was
alone prepared, and in my opinion it
does not posses sufficient interest to
the readers Of our city papers, to
justify tie use Of their columns for its
publication.
There is a small part Of the paper,
that may possess some local interest,
and interpolatec something relative

pose of as you think best.

Rev. J.. IL. Stone of Castleton, spoke in
Brattleboro, in Town hall week ago, and
several other places in Windham county.
In connection with his lectures he distrib
utes temperance literature purchased in
New York. Over million and three hun
dree thousand pages of temperance tracts
have been scattered through the state since
he entered upon this enterprise. Ii our
various missionary 50ards advanced their
interests and work by the agency of tracts,
why not expect good results from such
methods Of labor in the temperance cause !?
Large quantities Of tracts of different
phases Of this great question have just ar
rived in Castleton. The project is we TN.
defstand, 10 distribute through local COM
mittees in towns. This method Of work,
though not the only, and may not be in the
opinion of some the best, yet we are sure
it is such labor as will commend itself to
the kind and thoughtful through the state.
Leading minds IN church and state sustain
and highly approve Of this course, and Mr.
Stones labors. A card containing on one
side the pledge and on the other, state
ments from gentlemen well known in this
and other states, is now being executed at
TIE GLOBE office for distribution.

more especially TO the naturalization
which arc attracting SO favorable notice
all over the world through the Eddy medi-
ums. am prompted, in all kindcess, at
least, to make mention of some things
which have seen at Spirit Dale.
! have, in the course of three years, made
as many trips TO Chittenden, to witness the
phenomenon of spirits return, dressed in
various CARDS, before us at every visit, al
ways changing.
Last Thursday evening, myself, in COM
pany with two others Of my family friends
were present at a seance. Fourteen other
persons were included in the circle, many
from distance, who witness ed the actual
return of spirit frieuds. Several of them
were recognized. Fourteen spirits appear
ed in the front of the cabinet, In lighted
room, varying in height, size, compilations,
and dress. Every spirit stood neatly dress
ed, from their heads to their feet, several
oInamented as gay as you may find at the
Opera house in Rutland. More than

or four danced gracefully without
producing the least noise that | could hear.
The shortest spirit that came out in sight
was Mary Powell, child, about four and
a half feet in height The tallest spirit ans
wered TO the name of Henry Powell, aud
stood six feet four inches in height. The
first spirit that stepped ont from the cabi-
net was Andrew Garter he wore suit of
dark clothes, except his vest, which was
pure white straight fine form, about five
feet nine inches, and to appearance the
size of person who would weigh 40

in full view, and remained half Il minute
and then returned. As soon as he disap-
peared whispered 10 my son, "That is n
spirit" He said Il want to know ]

The third spirit was an old lady Mrs.
Eaton, who came out rather bowed over,
and talked in fine but distinct voice for
some time. She faithfully reproyed one
person for coming there, and calling him
by name, telling him if he had came there
to arrest or cxposeth "humbug," he better
keep away, for the spirits did not seek to

politics, the prohibiionsts do not hold the

may, however, be different this year.
Rhode Island now has a prohibitory law
and desperate struggle 10 to be made for
its repeal, but this will be more shown in
the legislative elections than in the vote
for governor. We believe, however, that
Lippitt will be elected, because he has the
prestige of the regular nomination, and be-
