be very a3ceDtable 10 him. Tho House passed a

New iberia Sl:gar-BnWt, oct. 9Th.
Our entire community were last Mon
day startled, and Yet not much sur
prised to hear that Elijah Iiornsby, who
the night before had been shipped ON
board the steamer Mary Lewis, n foHte
for the Orleans parish prison, to await
the result of his appeal to the Supreme
Court, had during the night made his
because they well knew the desperate
character OF the man, and that he had
friends who weie doing and would
continue to do their utmost to effect his
release all believed. 1t was noticed,
too. that one Of his friends took passage
on the same boat, and the officers OF the
Mary Lewis even warned Sheriff Niator
to be on bis guard, on that account.
Still, Mr.. Niator had his man Iandcuttet
and ollackles Oh his feet, and when he
had him safely ensconsed in Il state
room, the back-door OF which was
locked and the Sheriff sat i'll the open
front OF cabin door, with pistol in hand,
he thought there Was no danger of his
prisoners escape SO long as he thus
closely watched him. Alas, for want
of better knowledge of desperate men
About : o'clock at night, when the boat
was passing the Avalon on Acklen
plantation, the locked door suddenly
feu open and out jumped Hornsbyi Mr.
Niator sprang to seize him, but ii cliail
obstructed the passage, he stumbled.
and in the ~mOmentary delay HOrnsby
someh0m got overheard and was seen
no more by any one. He certainly could
not swim, siiackled as he a Was he
drowned: The boat stopped imme-
diately and landed Mr.. Niator, but he
did not search for the body. In fact
it looks to us as il proper search was
not made for the missing prisoner, fol
the Sheriff returned by land the next
day and reached New Iberia before sun
down. Why was he not chained to q
post, or better still, to the Sheriff
Sheriff Duson, Of st. Landry, goes tt
distant States and Territories, captures
the most desperate men, and returns
with them in that way. None frFr cs-
cape him or any other such officer, WheI
! i'm transit. We do not desire to criticlse
Mr.. Niator too severely, but as u public
official we feel lse must expect comment
from journals which seek to promote
! public security. Too maay such escapes
have been made from our officers Of
jail, and it should be stopped by i%ncreas.
ed vigilance. Had Deputy Eea4ey
gone, we believe he would have takcl
Hornsby safely through.
The officers Of the Mary Lewis have
been informed that two life preserver'

On last Saturday night Mr.. VIM.
Smith hitched Ills horse to a rack in
front of Mr.. Lasalle's grocery and went
in the store. After being absent a few
minutes he returned, hut found his
horse gone. All search for the animal
proved fruitless, and Mr.. Smith walked
home, returning next morning to renew
the search. From some information
received he came to the conclusion that
one Adam Richard was the thief. He
made an affidavit to that effect and Il
warrant was issued. Adam was ar
rested in Washington, and after his
commitment to jail at this place, told
where the horse was aud gave the officers
an order for him. We understand the
horse was recovered, and Adam will
appear before a jury of his peers i'll

IsrLrEAcU OF Foop.-Au excellent
hint is given in the following item:-Dr.
Hall relates the case Of a man who was
cured of his billiousness by going with
out his supper and drinking freely OF
lemonade. Livery morning, says the
doctor, this patient arose with II o
derful sense OF rest and refreshments.
and feeling as though the blood had
been literally washed, clcansed and
cooled by the lemonade and fast; His
theory is that food can be used as a
remedy for many diseases successfully;
As an e4aMple, he cures shifting OF
blood by. the use OF salt epilepsy by
wartermellon kidney affections by cele'
ry; poison by olive or sweet oil; erXsl;
paelas by pounded cranberries applied
to the part affected; hydroplobia by
! onions, ect. So the way to keep il
good health is really to know what
to eat,
