or friendship, drew revolver
and tried to launch his companion into

murderous propensities, as the ball took
effect in his antagonists hcad just be-
hind tho right ear. James Walsh then
made his escape.
The wounded man was conveyed to
the Charity Hospital, where he was
attended by u student. Mr.. Metcalf,
who pronounced the wound serious

Some unknown parties burglariously
entered the Attorney Generals Office
last night Expressing open the window
on the st. Louis street side.
It Is evident, from the manner In
which tho midnight prewlers went to
work, that they were not after worldly
gains, but valuable papers. The man
ner In which they left tho room showed
that there must have been four men at
work, as there we're four chairs In a
sefni-circle, and in front Of each chair
was bundle Of the Attorney Gen
considered worthless by the thieves.
Every desk in tho room had been priced
open with jimmy, and their contents
thrown promiscuously ABOUT. Splotches
Of candle grease can be found on the
gallery and floor. showing the entrance
and exit Of the marauders. At
torney General Field being inter
viewed by our reporter on the
subject, stated that this was the
fifth time that men had entered his
Office for the purpose OF stealing valua-
BILE papers: that two days before Clin-

What Is the most astonishing part Of

CRIME.
ESCAPED.


COLUMBUS, O., Dec, 23.-Last night three
conricts escaped from the Ohio Penitentiary,-
Charles 3furry, burglar from Wyandotte
County; George q. Blackburn, burglar from
Perry County; and John G. Carroll, sent from
Cuyahoga County for grand lar
ceny. The men escaped by breaking into
and crawling through an unused sewer about a
hundred yards long. The sewer WIS SO small
that in order to crawl through the men were
obliged to remove their clothing. They were
probably furnished clothing and aided to escape
BY outside parties. 4 reward Of $3.50 Is offered
for the return OF the men.
Special Dfgpdtch 70 Ihe Tribune.
ST. Louis, No., Dec. 23.-The notorious Joe
Butts, one OF the most slippery cracksmen In
the profession, has again made his escape.
Several months ago be, Billy Bruce, and Red
Learv entered bank near the corner Of Third
and Olive streets and managed to steal pack
age containing $500. They then stole from a
safe Of a lawyers Office not far OF tin box
containing papers valued at an immense amount,
which box and papers were that night recovered
By the police in vacant building far out on
Olive street. wherca citizen had seen the thieves
deposit them. Tie thieves were captured in
Cincinnati about the time of the Allen-Goss
prize-1ght, and after much yexatious delay the
detectives succeeded in bringing Butts back
here, the other two having been Indicted there
on preliminary examination in the Court of
Criminal Correction. Butts was held to answer
in bond Of $1,000, and Charles Ritter was ac-
ccptcd as bondsman. An Indictment was found,
and the case was called for trial this morning,
but Butts was non est, and the bond Was de-
clared forfeited.

But Paul III. came to the Papa1 throne, and
Michael Angelo. against his Will, had to paint
the LAST Judgment" " In the Sistine Chapel.
He completed It when he was &C years OF age;
but even then there was comparatively ulscoE-
genial work ready to his hand. In the same
year Sanga1lo completed the Pauline Chapel,
and the Pope was desirnus that 1t should be
painted by Michael Angelo,-on one side with q
picture representing the crucifxion OF st. Peter,
and On the other the conversion Of st. Paul.
The anxiety Of Michael Angelo to continue and
complete the long~delayed monument Of Julius
was OF no avail, and the great artist had again
to turn his hand to the uncongenia1 work on
frcscoes, which, as he complains in one
OF bis letters, is not the labor for an
old man. But there Is monotony about
the Instructions which are thrown in the way of
his dearest wishes which becomes tedious. We
find him eren id his advanced age working on
the Notifications of Rome, on the Farnese Pal
ace, and finally crowning his life, and making
an altogether exceptional and new reputation,
By his design for the cupo1a ct st. PetcrE. It is
q long history Of unwilling work, which, how
ever reluctantly undertaken, is always honestly
and admirably executed.

would in1ure. and who could oppose it, and En-

Austria 1t will be very easy for Russia to engage
her assistance by giving her servla ana other

hypothesis that France and England will ever be
allied with sincerity will be In order to prevent
this. But even this alliance would not avail
France, England, and Russia united cannot pre-

Some weeks ago young scapegrace In this
city who had left his parental roof in New York
under cloud In 1865, concluded to put up job
on the old gentleman and make raise. He ac-
cordingly telegraphed to his father In New
York:
MI. -: Your son Walter was killed in the Con.
shall We do with the remains! II. L. BARKER.
Almost Immediately te1egraphic order came
for $3.50 and the laconic reply: Bury them"
The fictitious II. L. Barker froze to the $50
and went on g royal spree, and few weeks
afterwards wrote to his father over his real
name as follows:
DEAR FATHER: have Just learned that an In
famous scoundEe1 named Barker sent you fctt-
tious account Of my death and swindled you out OF

A few days later the young man received the
following:

that's an end OF it. I decline having any more

The Edinburg Scotsman opposes any steps
upon the part Of England that may lead the
ton. il remarks: "The average price Of wheat
for the whole OF 1875 was ass I'd, SO that the
total value Of the quantity required for the
United Kingdom In that year was little over
$4,000, 900. This year, owing chiefly to fears
now 1t is 4ss ID per quarter. II that had been
the price last year, the country would have had
to pay about three millions and three-quarters
more than it did for its bread. Supposing the
Russian supply to be lost because Of war, and
the demand to continue the same, the price
must rise at the least or shtllings quarter,
and in all likelihood would rise double that
amount. Tnking the latter sum as basis, It
would follow that year OF war with Russia
would add eighteen or twenty millions to the
cost Of the bread supply in 1879. That Is not q
matter to be overlooked in considering, as Lord
Bcaconsdeld sn1d he had to consider, the in
terests' OF the country"

The Pot1ato-DuE.

Her Majesty's Government is tightening the
coils Of red-tape around the innocent and Vora-
cious potato-bus. In order to prevent the In
PRODUCTION Of the Colorado potato-beetle among
potatoes imported from the United States or
Canada, instructions have been issued to the
Collectors Of Customs st the various ports OF
the United Kingdom that Cnstom-House officers
are to look out for the beetle on board vessels,
wharyes, quays, sheds, or packages landed from
vessels and Instantly destroy it: To aid them
in identifying the beetle, Autographed sketch
and description Of it have been forwarded. The
color Of the insect is officially stated to be yel-
low, with black spots on the fore part, and ten
black STRIPS five on each OF the wing covers It
is somewhat like large ladybird, but is rather
longer in shape, ana is also striped, peculiari-
ty which is absent in all species OF ladybirds.
