TwBED,s TALE.


.Harper's Weekly, last number,
published an illustrated article de-
scribing the flight and exile of Vim.
n. Tweed. The following are the
chief points of the story
The approaching trial Of the great
six million dollar suit against Tweed
threatened demand on bis.cash re-
sources for fees, which he plainly
saw he should fail to answer His
remaining possessions wers & not
available to raise ready money and,
credit, especially with lawyers, was
out Of the question, His money
gone, his courage broke down also,
he resolved on fight as q rene.
dy for his bankruptcy and his hope
less imprisonment. Having lost the
great Judges and lawyers of the
courts he had created and controll-
ed, he found himself forced to fall
back upon their clients his fellow
prisoners-in Jail. ii9
TwEED's MEssMATE
in the LndloW Street Jail was Char
ley Lawrence, the silk smuggler,
whose extradition led to the. abroga-
tion of the treaty with England.
From him Tweed learned all the nee
essary details of the existing treaties
and the laws on the subject, and
having decided upon fight, he resolv-
ed to reach Spain as the most exped-
lent shelter, in view of the absence
of any extradition treaty with that
country.
Another inmate of Ludlow Street
Jail was person of many profession
al aliases, who has since been safely
lodged in penitentiary in Vermont.
He is best known by the name of
Bliss, and was the engineer of the
extraordinary Northampton Bank
robbery. He was also professional
ly engaged in the famous Washing
ton safe burglary. This person
lodged on the upper floor, and had
approached Tweed with a proposal
to avail himself of the removal of
the IRON gratings of his window,
which was on the ground floor, and
which would enable them both to es-
cape, the whole matter to be man.

of Bliss. The proposition had at

where they took exercise, the sub.
iect was more definitely discussed
and outside friends of the "profes..

persuaded Of the practicability of a
plan which they presented, and for
the execution of which he agreed to
pay stipulated sum. No member
of the bar, nor his counsel, nor any
friend or person whatever of his pre-
vious connections knew of his pro-
posed fight, or had any part in its
execution. Neither did they know
of his whereabouts at any time until
it had become necessary for him to
communicate with them after his ar
rest in Cuba by the Spanish officials.
Tweed understood that he was to be
taken in charge by a we'll organized
body of men distributed throughout
the country, having every facility,

thoroughly tested and we'll estab-

DONN PIATT AND NINE LIE VERT.
ACOOl Piece Of Diplomacy .

The old lady got, after a time, to
have that most terrible of all things,
a grievance. She would hold us BY
the hour on that inexhaustible sub
ject.
One night, at a charming party
given by Mrs. Carlisle, we found
ourselves, with Nine. LIE Vert on
our arm, being made acquainted
with that grievance. We happened
to pass the Spanish Minister, then
Admiral Polo, who was leaning
gracefully against the wall.
"ls not that the Spanish Minis.
terP" asked my companion.
at is"
"Do you know him well enough
to present me?"
"Know him? Do l look like a
man who did not know the Spanish
Minister? OF course l will present. y
Now, we had never exchanged a
word with this diplomatic gentle,
man, but we were desperate, and
so, marching up, we said:
admiral Polo, permit me to in
trodqce you to my dear friend, Nine.
LIE Vert.n
"It gratifes me, Madame, to
make your acquaintance" And
then, after slight pause, IN which
he eyed us, he added, aAnd now,
Madame, will YOU be so good as to
introduce your escorts"
This was such cool piece of ii.
Plomatie impudenoe that, before
Nine. lie Vert could answer, we
said:
'Why, Admiral, don't you re-
member meg am Col. Casey, broth
er-in-law to the Government"
Poor Nine. lie Vert gazed at US
both in mute astonishment, but soon
was chatting with his diplomatic ex-
cellency in Spanish.

WAR NtbTES.

The Russians are now almost in sight 81
the ancient city OF Erzeroum, and they will
have to fight the scverest battle OF the
A>iatic campaign to quarter themselves there.
They have occupied Hasan Kal leh, a strong
position on the road to Kars, about fifteen
or eighteen miles east OF Eraeroum. Another
Russian detachment is coming down from
Ardahan to Olti to turn Mukhtar's Hanks AT
Deviboyan. Devboyan is on the crest OF u
range rising 1000 feet above the plain of
Erzeroum, and is considered, with the use OF
ordinary skill, almost impregnable. General
KohlmaD, u veteran Hungarian soldier with
Mukhiar, has fortified both Deviboynn and
ErzerOum, and they await the attack OF
Generals Heymann and Tcrgus,koilfrom the
east, while the Turkish General Hassan Boy
has gone to the Guirje Boghaz pass to cheek
The Russian column advancing from O't'.
The siege of Kars in the meantime goes on.
The garrison consists of about 10000 men,
and the city is said to be abundantly provi>
stoned, so there is probably several months
work for the Russians there. Campaigning
in Armenia at this season of the year Is no
joke. 1t is one of the coolest countries in
the world, the mountains aud elevated pla'
tcaux which the Russians have to cross being
eight or nine thousand feet above the sea.
