A Tour Of the Rebel Prisons.

Mr.. P. Henry O'Connell, of the firm
of Caskin, OConnell & Co., of this
place, showed MS this week u pair OF
handouts which he had Just received
from his comrade and fellow prisoner,
Mr.. William Bsnty, of Indiana, the

tern, which we're easily unfastened,
with key made from O nail, soon after
getting out of prison. But the Incl.
dents connected with their use will
cause them to be treasured with much
care and pride by Mr.. O'Connell.
While talking of the escape, Mr..
O'Connell soon convinced us that his
experience as a prisoner in the South
would form an interesting paragraph
for our readers, and we accordingly
here present the same. At the age OF
16 years he enlisted at Amesbury, Mass.
in Company E, 14th Mass. Infantry.
Was captured before Petersburg, June
%, 1864, and sent to Libby Prison, and
from there to Belle Isle. and from there
was started for Andersonville, but
escaped at Salisbury, and was recap
tured by hounds (receiving severe
wounds. marks of which he showed us
on his arm) and confined at Columbia 4.
Escaped from Columbia Jail by digging
under the wall, was again captured at
'Newbern and sent to Salisbury, and
from there back to Columbia, where he
was bucked and gagged for "a hours.
but fell and cut his head at the end of
8 hours, so that he was let off for the
other 16 hours.
Two weeks later he again escaped
and foated 81 miles on log, down
Black river to the Savannah river,
where he was again captured and sent
back to Columbia Jail, where he was
confined in dungeon for 10 days. AZ
forwards made another escape, with
three others, was captured and sent to
Charleston, and from there to Ander-
sonville, where he Witnessed the execu-
ton, by our own men, of three of their
number for robbing their comrades.
From Andersonville he was again re-
turned to Columbia, and from there
again made final escape, hand-cuffed,
to Mr.. Banty, and making his way over
the mountains entered the Union lines
at Knoxville on Christmas day. 1864,

SHOOTING WITH THE LONG Bow.-It

The World in Miniature.

Mr.. CRUDE, a maker of wax images
in this city, has constructed what is
claimed to be the largest globe Of the
world, showing the ranges of noun
tains. and other peculiarities of the
surface of the earth in relief, now in
existence. Its diameter is four feet and
about one inch, the scale being in
1O, 100000 The range of even the
Himalayas would not be visible upon
this globe if the same scale were adopt
ed for the elevations as for the map,
and accordingly the relief is made upon
scale which exaggerates heights
twenty times. The oceans, seas and
rivers are colored blue; the continents
are yellow the glaciers, ice-bergs and
floating cakes of ice white. Plains
and mountain ranges are clearly shown,
and every part of the world is exhibited
in it's true character. Red, black and
white lines cross the globe to indicate
the isothermal belts, the variations OF
the magnetic needle, the date line
where ships correct their logs by skip
ping from Saturday to Monday, and
vice versa, and other facts of like char
acter. The map has been corrected in
the light of the latest discoveries down
to two months ago. The northern
coast OF Siberia has been much altered

petition, the ships sailing in deep wa

in perfecting his globe, and Chief
