A CONVICT OUTBREAK.

Ho.c Concicts in Patagonia -4n.use Theme
se1ces-Fice Corpses in One Partor.
A letter from Sandy Point, Patagonia,
dated December 10th, says the community
has recovered from the CONSERVATION into
which it had been thrown by the unexpected
revolt of the troops and release of the con-
victs. A fresh body, 200 strong, has landed
with the intention of pursuing the rebels
into the heart of the Pampas. 1t is feared,
however, that their utmost efforts will be un-
availing, as the convicts have obtained three
weeks start. Justice is as likely to be
vindicated by cold, hunger, and the Indians,
and if it had been executed as cleverly
as it was planned, there is no doubt
that the Chilian Government would
have experienced great difficulty in re-
c.pturing the settlement. At first both
prisoners and guards acted in complete
agreement. Forming themselves into Or
ganized bodies, they poured into the town,
numbering all who resisted, and happily
their newly regained freedom turned the
heads of the convicts. The desire of con-
quest yielded to lust and avarice. Throwing
themselves into the richest houses, they
plundered, burned, outraged and drank till
all organization was lost. The town next
morning looked as if it had been taken by
storm, SO great was the devastation. The
following scene occurred in the house of a
gentleman, one of the principal residents:
About the middle of the night he and his
two daughters were aroused by several deaf
ching reports. They got up and dressed.
In short time a young English lady came
to the house in the hope of finding security.
For about half an hour they waited in terri
BILE anxiety, listening to the shreiks and shots
which were audible Oh all sides. At length
the door was burst open, and party of ten
men, accompanied by some of the lowest
women of the place, and all half mad with
drink, rushed into the house In the drawing
room stood a piano, which proved the safety
of the party. The idea occurred to one of
the convicts to make the girls play while
they danced. This idea was adopted, and the
poor girls, half dead with fear, were forced
with oaths and curses to take
their place at the piano while the ruffians
danced around the room. Suddenly one of
the men called to companion, s'You can't
dance; I'll teach you.'' There was coarse
answer, and, drawing pistol, the second
man shot the first through the
heart. A general conflict ensued, in
which several men lost their lives, and the
REMAINDER, becoming "fecOnc1led, cOntlnueO
their dance over the dead bodies. At length
a messenger arrived, saying that the treasure
chest was being rifed. This news produced
a general stampede, and the ladies and their
father were in a minute left alone with the
dead. Five corpses were found in the draw
ing room when the Chilian troops landed
This is but an example of the many scenes
that occurred during that awful night. The
highest praise is due the Governor, who
though wounded by the wheel of a cannon
passing over his leg, still had the courage tc
ride across the isthmus to summon the
Chilian man-of-war. The damage is esti-
mated at $5OO,OO0.

a cord in the wayward girls heart, and the
response came in tears. The professor gazes

Remarkable Shot.
Virginia New Chronicle.
Last week the Austin brothers went out to
shoot at long range with the Nationals, and
after the fun was over the members of the
company began to tell yarns about good
shooting. One knew fellow who had in
early times shot another through the heart
with Colts revolver at eighty yards. An
other had a vivid recollection of the time
when he was able to hit snow birds on the
wing with a rifle. A third, not to be out
done, solemnly asserted that he had often
killed two sea- -gulls with one ball by firing
when they crossed each other.
The Nationals had an idea, that with the
examples before them, the Austin Brothers
would spin some big yarns, but much to
everybody's disappointment they only
heaved joint sigh and started 1or the door.
s'Say," sang out one of the Virginia men;
''cant you tell us something about your crack
shooting?''
One of the brothers turned back, and sat
down. There was a dead silence for awhile,
and presently he began:
''Some years ago was out in New York
State hunting grouse There was an old
fellow along who was somewhat near sighted.
We were just at the edge of the farm, when
suddenly one of my favorite game
cocks jumped upon the fence, and he
drew bead on it, mistaking it for grouse.

threw up my rifle and quietly knocked off the
left nipple of his shot gun at fifty yards, SO
that when the hammer fell the nipple and
cap wouldn't be there-see?,'
''You saved the bird then?'' Clipped in an
attentive listener.
"No,'' said Austin, sadly; ST picked out
the wrong nipple; the fellow fred the right
and blew my fifty dollar game cock all to

"BOOTs AT THE SWAN
Nearer Liserpoo1 than Chicago


It is a fact, although not generally known
that Minneapolis is 25O miles nearer Liver
pool than Chicago, via the water route.
From Chicago to Liverpool via the lakes,
Erie canal, Hudson river and Atlantic
ocean, (Chicagos water route) it is 4,48O
miles, while from Minneapolis to Liverpool,
via Duluth, the lakes, st. Lawrence river
and ocean it is but 1892 miles. When the
Welland canal and Sault St. Marie improve
ments are completed so that ocean vessels
of certain tonnage can enter the lakes and
load from all ports, Minneapolis will have
decided advantage over Chicago in the ship
ment of wheat by water. 1t is also fact
that Duluth is eighty miles nearer Buffalo
via the lakes than is Chicago. Adding the
distance from Minneapolis to Duluth it
makes this city only sixty miles further from
Buffalo than Chicago.

lis true that everything seems to be go

happy and dissatisfied than the politicians,
but no trouble comes near that calm retreat
on the banks of the Potomac, where the
serene and absorbed great chief clerk sits at
the head of the table and smiles, and reads
the Cincinnati platform.
Thus it will be seen that Mr.. Hayes is not
beyond meddling with caucuses and conven-

manipulated Ohio to get Stanley Matthews
