A STRANGE PRISONER.
He Walks Seventy Miles Over Bad Roads
in Order to Deliver Himself Up.
lElizabethtown (Ky.) News.l

LII OTdeT 10 Denver himself tD.
lElizabethtown (Ky.) News
One of the oldest circumstances OF
the season has just come to our knowl-
edge-that OF a man walking seventy
miles, in bad weather and over rough
roads, to deliver himself up a prisoner.
About the last Of October lot Of men
were convicted OF moonshine distilling
In the United States Court at Louis
vile, sentenced to Imprisonment, and
brought to the Hardin county jail to
serve out their time. Among them was
Wayman st. Clair, OF Adair. They
were brought here on the I'd Of
cember st. Clair escaped, In com
pany with one G. A. Blandford, Of
Loretto neighborhood, in Marion coup-
ty. Blandford has not since been directly
heard from, but he Is supposed to be In
Indiana. Our jailer, Mr.. Phillips, Of
fered a reward for the apprehension Of
the prisoners. Soon after he received q
letter from st. Clair, stating that he did
not wish to embarrass the jailer nor to
put him to expense, and that the reward
had better be withdrawn, as he intended
to return and serve out his sentence.
The reward was withdrawn, and on
Sunday night last knock was heard at
the Jailer's door, and on 1t being opened
In walked st. Clair, wet and muddy and
footsore, after tedious journey from
his home in Adair, over one OF the worst
roads In the State, and in the most in
clement weather OF the season.
st: Clair says he would not have left
the Jail but for the fact that new lot
Of prisoners had been brought from
Louisville a short time before, one Of
whom was i'll with some eruptive COM
plant which (although it afterwards
turned out to be measles) he thought
was something worse. Jail he thought
bad enough, but Jail and small pox
mixed was dose he couldn't stand.
Rather than that he would obey the
Scriptural injunction to "flee to the
mountains OF Hepsadam, where the
lion roareth and the whangdoodle
mourneth for its first born" Breaking
out Of jail was preferable to breaking
out with smallpox.
st. Clair has about four months yet to
serve, but we move that petition be
gotten up for his pardon. We believe
that upon a proper representation of
the facts the President will bid him 20
In peace and sin no more.

The crime Of forgery has by no means
been confined to individuals. Shame to
say, governments have been engaged in
it. Mr.. Nichols, a member of the Brit
ish House Of Commons, openly charged
the English government with encour-
aging the manufacture Of forged paper
tional credit of countries with which it
was at war; and a Judge of one of the
highest courts of the realm declared
that, under such circumstances, it was
a moral act. During the reign Of Mr..
Pitt, another member stated, in the
course of a speech in the House, that
that gentleman had caused an immense
amount Of French assignats to be
forged at Birmingham to affect the
finances Of that country.
The French, It seems, were no better

What Worth, the Partisan MiIliner, Has
to Say Thereon,

to Say Thereon.
Worth is a tallish man, with a big,
clever head and very prominent fore
head. His brown eyes are singularly
shrewd In expression, and their seizure
OF detail is surprising-that is, for a
man. AS rule men have no more eyes
for detail than owls have for the sun.
Worth takes you In at a glance, and
knows what your style ought to be,
which Is such comfort. When I go to

PASSAGE" as Bob would say. Iwant to
order harmony In one or two colors,
and to encounter brains equal to the
occasion. Worth g taste, when allowed
full play, Is trreproachable. II prefer
simplicity to everything else" he says,
but there are women who don't believe
in the value Of dress unless 1t is loaded
with trimming. They drive me mad, for
they won't take advice. Now, what is
becoming to one person Is hideous when
worn by another. / study to make the
best out OF the subject given me, as, I'M
fortunately, we can't have people made
to order, can we ? If I had my way all
women should be slight, graceful and
pretty. Then dressing them would be
an artistic pleasure. A dress should
never overpower the wearer. 1t should
merely be an appropriate frame for a
charming picture. bringing out the
beauties Of the picture, but never dis
tracing attention from it. So few
women understand this. Why, when l
find I can make costume for less
money than has been agreed upon, /
actually annoy clients by telling them
so. They think that it cannot be as
handsome as it ought to be, and
they would rather have more material
added, however much the design may
be marred, than pay less. I assure you
this is a fact. Consequently, when I
meet ladies who know that dressing is
an art, I take very great satisfaction in
having them as patrons. It isn't every
woman who knows how to wear dress.
When have done my best try to make
my client do her best by seeing her walk
and sit down. To walk with style Is
rare enough, but when it comes to being
able to sit down In dress properly
