forgotten and you will remember the ex-
element they produced, and the censorious
publications which were uttered against
me, because would not visit on the help
less prisoners in our hands such barbarities
as, according to reports, had been inflicted
upon our men. Imprisonment Is a hard
lot at the best, and prisoners are prone to
exaggerate their sufferngs, and such was
probably the case on both sides but we
did not seek by reports OF committees, with
Photographic illustrations. to influence the
passions of our people. How was IL with
our enemy Let one example suffice.
You may remember published report
of committee of the United States con-
gress which was sent to Annapolis to visit
some exchanged prisoners, and which had
offered TO 1t the photographs of some
emaciated subjects, which were offered as
samples of prisoners returned from the
south. When a copy of that report was re-
ceiyed | sent u to Col. Ould, commissioner
for the exchange Of prisoners, and
learned, as l anticipated, that the photo-
graphs, as far as they could be identified,
had been taken from men who were in our
hospitals when they were liberated for ex-
change, and whom The hospital surgeon re-
garded as cOnvalescent but too weak to be
removed with safety TO themselves. The
anxiety of the prisoners to be sent to their
homes had prevailed over the objections of
the surgeon. But this is not all. For
have recently learned from priest who
was then at Annapolis that the most
wretched looking of those photographs
was taken from nan who had never been
prisoner, but who had been left on the
''sick list" at Annapolis when the command
to which he was attached had passed that
place on its southwark march.
Whatever may be said in extenuation Of
such imposture because of the exigencies of
war, there can be no such excuse now in
the attempt of Mr.. Blaine, by gross mis-
representation and slanderous accusation,
to revive the worst passions of the war,
and it is to be hoped that, much as the
event is to be regretted, it will have the
good effect OF evoking truthful statements
in regard to this little understood subject
from men who would have preferred to
leave their sorrowful story untold il the
subject could have been allowed peacefully
to sink into oblivion,
Mutual respect is needful, for the COM
mon interest is essential to friendly union,
and when SANDER is promulgated from high
places, the public welfare demands that
truth should strip falsehood of its power for

Almost Drowned.

Scott Rounds, young man engaged in
loading ice on Fox pond, near Walingford
village, came near being drowned one day
last week. An opening had been made in
the ice few days before, from which
cakes for loading had been taken, and this
place being covered by thin layer of
newly formed ice and slight fall Of snow,
was SO obscured as that Rounds, in search
ing for it, suddenly walked into It and i'm
mediately sank, being helped to do SO by
the weight of his ice tongs. which he had
in his arm. He soon parted with these,
and rising found himself a considerable
distance under the solid ice, and had it not
been for the assistance of Moses Marsha,
who was cutting ice at the time, must have
been drowned. Marsha, by lying down
and reaching to his fafthest extent, man
aged by great exertion TO draw out the

Attempt to Break Jail.

Attempt to Break Jail.
On Saturday forenoon Mr.. G. d. Mil
lington, deputy sheriff in charge of the
Jail, received information that an attempt
would be made by certain inmates to break
out of Jail that night. This being con
lirmed in the afternoon, Mr.. Millington,
with chief of police N. S. Stearrs, de-
termined, it possible, to surprise them in
the act, and they, therefore, sNcreted them
selves with dark Lantern in the guard
room, prepared to open the door and enter
the prison at any moment. About half
past one o'clocl; Sunday morning the work
of filing or saving the bars of the inner
iron grated door was commenced. Sud-
denly Mr.. Milington drew open the outer
door, while Mr.. Stearns held up the light
and confronted an astonished prisoner,
standing, knife in hand, who proved to be
Miller, in Jail on charge of larceny, with
Dickinson, the negro sentenced to one year
in the state prison, standing behind him.
The liberty seeking fellows were so con-
cry that they stood a moment, then they
darted up stairs and got into cells. Miller
tumbled in between two men who were
asleep. Millington at once took the light
and entered the prison and went up to the
cell where Miller lay with his clothes on
and feigned sleep. 1t was difficult to wake
him, but the two men he had Weakened by
his crowding in on them got out at once.
Miller and the negro were the only prls-
oners who were dressed and appear 10 he
the only ones concerned in the attempt to
break out. They were locked up in cells.
Had they been permitted to work through
the night, undiscovered and undisiurbcd,
they would have sawed out two bars, and
could have thus got into the guard room
while the outer door was opened to pass in
their food during the day. Once in the
guard room, after overpowerinS the cook
and tho coiored man, they would have
been at liberty.
They tried first to nnd way out by
digging out the water closet which they
pretty thoroughly demolished, only to find
that it is proof against such efforts. They
then turned their attention to saving the
bars out of the door They secured knives
by pretending from time to time that they
were not furnished with knives enough to
eat, when the cook would hand in another
In this way they finally secured two steel
knives which they hacked into efficient
saws.
A tramp had craved nights lodging on
Saturday evening. The ground floor cells
are appointed to the use of tramps and he
heard whispering and overhead conversa-
ton which indicted an attempt To break
out would be made. The prisoners fasten-
ed him in his cell as pIecaution that he
should not disclose on them. On being
let out Sunday morning he told what he
heard and saw and he ia therefore good
witness and has been detained,
Douglass Miller and Henry Dickson, who
were caught in the act of breaking jail, on
Sunday morning, were, on Monday, eX-
amined before Justice Porter. The evil
dence being conclusive, and substantially
the same as the published account in THT
GLOBE, they were bound over in the sun
of $500 for trial.

CASTORIA.

Cross, sckly babies and children may enjoy
health, and mothers have rest, II they will use
Castoria. Worms, feverlshness, teething, wind
collie, sour stomach and undigested food make
children cross, and produces sickness.
Castorla will asslmilate the food, expel
worms, and correct all these things. For TWEEN
ty years Dr. Pitcher experimental in his pri.
vate practice to produce an effective Cathartic
and stomach regulator which would be as eff
tective as Castor OIL, without its unpleasant
taste or recoil.
The reputation OF his experiment extended.
Physicians and nurses rapidly adopted his rem
edy, to which he gave the name OF Castoria.
Castoria is as pleasant to take as honey,regu-
iates the stomach and bowels, and does not
grippe. 1t is adapted to all ages, contains no al
cohol, and is absolutely harmless to the most
tender Infant.
Try Castoria once, ana you win newer be

dltion.
The White Centaur Linlment is particularly
adapted TO all cases OF rheumatism, Lumbago,
Neuralgia, Eryspelas, Itch, Sprains, Chilblains,
Cuts, Bruises, stlngs, Polsons, scnlds, so,atica,

1t Is an indlsputable fact that the Centaur
Liniments are performing cures never before

The Yellow Centaur Liniment
is adapted to the tough skin, muscles and flesh
OF the animal creation. Its effects upon severe
cases OF SPAWN, sweeny, wind-Gall, Big Head
