Broke Jail.
DEMOCRAT.

nTOAt JulIs
The inmates of the Litchfield Jail,
three in number, made their escape from
the same last Thursday evening about
uightfsll. The jailor, Mr.. Roberts, was
in Louisville on business at the time, aud
left the keys of the cells in the care of
Mr.. j. D. Edelen, Town Marshal, for
safe keeping. About night the prisoners
sent the jailor's son, small boy, out to
buy some apples, they in the meantime
unlocked the cell doors, crept down stairs
with shoes in hand and awaited the re-
turn Of the boy. As he opened the door
to come in they rushed out and made
their escape. The general supposition is,
that the prisoners obtained false key or
a file and material with which to make
one No blame is attached to either
jailor or marshal. The names of the
prisoners are Charles Smith, George
Haycraft and VIM. Duggins. The jailor
has offered reward of $50 for Charles
Smith and SOS each for Haycraft and
Duggins.

Lucy Hooper s Paris Letter. ]

Lucy HoOper's Paris Letter.
The dinner and reception given
to our ex-President by Mr.. Healey,
the artist, was an exceedingly in
teresting occasion, from the fact
that M. Gambetta was one of the
invited guests. In spite of the fact
that the chambers are in session, he
accepted an invitation to the dinner
and remained for over two hours at
the reception afterward, the general
attention and enthusiasm being
fairly divided between him and the
distinguished guest of the occasion.
1t was the first time that | had ever
seen the Lion of the Left, and con-
sequently / was deeply interested.
He looks his greatness thoroughly.
No casual observer could for a mo-
ment mistake him for a common
place man, and this stamp, so to
speak, of genius is far more apparent
in the real man than in the photo
graphs and portraits that | have
seen Of him. Probably the fact that
he is always taken in profile may
have something to do with this diff
ference. He is man of herculean
build and breadth of shoulder, his
frame being disproportionately
massive for his hight, so that
when standing alone he looks
like a short man, yet he is at least
a half head taller than General
Grant, who is by no means small,
as we well know. His head is cast
in the same massive mould, and
there is something canine in the
great brow, shaded by long, DISNEY
eled locks, whose original dark.
ness is thickly dashed with
gray. Though not yet forty he
looks fully fifty years of age. The
