Shooting Down Nihilist Prisoners

The offenders incarcerated in the pris-
on OF Kietf, who include among them a
large number of Nihilists, determined to
make an effort to escape. The plan
adopted was to undermine the Jail by
digging passage beneath the building
into the field beyond the walls, and by
this means get clear Of the edifce One
OF the prisoners, however, betrayed the
designs of his companions in durance,
and informed the governor Of the project
eel means of escape. What did the au-
thorities thereupon determine to do?
They quietly permitted the unfortunate
prisoners to continue uninterrupedtly
their work of constructing an under
ground passage. ..
On the evening when the captives had
completed this undertaking and expected
to emerge to the freedom SO long coveted
the governor stationed file of infantry
with loaded muskets at the end of tunnel
out of which they were to pass into the
open field beyond the Jail. Then as each
one came up,and they could, owing to the
narrowness of the Aperture, only leave
one by, he was shot down by the soldiery
placed there for the purpose. Those re-
naming in the subterannean passage,
afrighted by the sound of firearms, stood
still: Whereupon the governor ordered
another file Of infantry to enter the tun-
mel from the end within the prison, while
those with him force there way in from
without. In this narrow dungeon the
whole OF the unfortunate prisoners were
shot down, fired on from behind and be-
fore, and wholly incapable of escape or
resistance. -:s...
The performance afforded considerable
amusement to the governor of the Kicf
prison, who now wears upon his breast
an honory distinction for the ability he
displayed in preventing the escape of the
prisoners under his charge.

The Peasant Millionaire

By the murder Of Josef Weyer at

most noteworthy subjects peasant who
was a much more curious character
than ninety-nine out of a hundred peers
and princes Of the realm. sWeyer was:

a small farmer. At the time of his death
he enjoyed an income Of 500, OOO. guldens,

The, latter might be regarded as a me-

farmers, he was an extensive cattle.
breeder, and his herds were scattered:
over miles Of vast grazing plains. He
counted his houses and farms, too, by the
score, and up to the day of his death
kept all Of his vast possessions under his
personal supervision. ~'~u.a J. ;5"iHz l*s
Many curious stories arc told of the old
farmer prince, and his eccentric ways.
He was q peasant to the core in spite
of his enormous wealth, and looked it.
At one time he bid at an auction sale OF
oxen, which, according to Hungarian
fashion, were put up by yokes. There
were 300 yokes, and the old man bought
the whole 600 beasts. The auctioneer
was stranger, and when the miserable,
| shabby little granger who had bid so
steadily was pointed out to him he wax
ed wroth. ~ .t&t#ti jdtF '.'S*sH*~1& s.
"Josef Weyer,'' he said, s:do you not
know that it is forbidden by law to hoax
a public auctioneer?'A Yt3lIt.a3 .1.#
"Surely, sir, surely" was the reply.
'The price of the oxen you, have bid
for must De paid down. Cash! do YOU
understand? cash." ..+, ~
The old man dived into the breast Of

old blue silk handkerchief, and without

The Danish Plan.

1.-THE Maiden Assurance Society" is a
somewhat singular business institution
in Denmark which perhaps might be
made to flourish in this country. The
nobleman-fo the association is peculiar

is born to him, enrolls her name in a GER
tain association Of noble families, and
pays a certain sum, and thereafter a fixed
annual amount, 10 the society. When
she has reached the age of we believe
twenty one, she becomes entitled to a
fixed income and to an elegant suite of
apartments in a large building of the
association, with gardens and parks about
it, inhabited by other older noble ladies
who have thus become members. If her
father dies in her youth, and she desires
it, she has shelter in this building, and at
the fixed time her income When she
dies or marries, all this right to income

Their may pay for twenty years, and then
her marriage cut off all advantage of the
insurance But this very chance must
enable the company to chanre lower an
nual premiums, and make the burden
less on the father insuring. He has at
any rate the pleasant feeling that his
small annual payments are insuring his
daughters future, and giving her COM
Portable home and income after he has
gone. 1t is obvious that the chances for
marriage among a given number Of wo-
men can be calculated as closely as those

The plan has worked well for genera
tons in Copenhagen. The possession of
an department house" by the association
in some pretty suburb Of New York,
would certainly add to the attractiveness
of the plan, and would only be portion
OF the assets Of the company. \ single
lady, at the death Of her father, or when
she was of age, would thus find herself
in possession of a pleasant suite OF rooms
with respectable companions, and in the
enjoyment of small fixed income. The
class who now suffer most from the con-
vulsions of the business-single and I'M
protected women OF well-to-do families,
| would thus be sheltered and cared for.
| Fathers who could not spare capital for
| their daughters could thus devote some
portions of annual income which would
secure their future. We commend the
Danish plan to our insurance companies.

ed him, laughed at his request to send to
his house for his pass, and as the Judge
was busy ordering insurgents off BY
patches to the fortress or the grave, he
was locked up for several DAYS. He did
not grumble, and true to his busy in
stincts pottered around the liail doing
light chores till small official who knew
him found him cleaning window.
HGood heavens. Herr Weyer!" he ex-
claimed, "what are you doing here?'

windows. The gens-d'arms arrested me
because I had no pass.' s,.s
+ The man secured his release at once. A
short time afterward, ON the day of his
marriage, a lawyer handed him the deeds
OF uncomfortable little farm and ten cows
and oxen. Old Josef Weyer had not for
gotten the good turn he had done him.
Wcyer purchased his farm from Count
Steven Karoly, who let him have it on
easy terms, in view Of his poverty. MAJ

An Epicure's Fate.

MI. Rogerson, the son of a gentleman
OF large fortune in England, after receiv-
ing an excellent education, was sent
abroad to make the grand tour. In this
journey young Rogerson attended to
nothing but the various modes of cook
cry and the methods of eating and drink
ing luxuriously. Before his return his
father died, when he entered into the
possession of a very large fortune. He
was now able to look over his notes of
epicurism and to discover where the
most, exquisite dishes and best cooks
were to be procured. He had no servants
but men cooks. Footman, butler. house
keeper, coachman and grooms were all
cooks Among those more professionally
so were one from Florence, another from
Vienna, and another from Viterbo, who
was employed for the special purpose of
dressing one particular dish onl y-the
"docce picante" of Florence. He had al
soa German cook for dressing the iivers
OF turkeys, and the rest were all French.
MIR. Rogerson had messenger constantly
travelling between Brittany and London
to bring him the eggs of a certain sort of
plover near St. Malo, and single dinner
consisting oftwo dishes only, sometimes
cost him upward of fifty guineas. He
counted the minutes between his meals,
and was wholly absorbed in devising
means lea IS to indulge his appetite. In the
course of nine years he found his table
dreadfully abridged by the ruin of his for
tune, and he was verging fast to poverty.
When he had spent a fortune of S75O.0OO
and was totally ruined, friend gave him
a guinea to keep him from starving; but
q short time after he was found dressing
an ortolon for himself. A few days later
he died by his own hands. q sa'H at':s %,

A Magnificent Outlook.

A lengthy article in a.late number Of the
N. Y. Herald on trade prospects, ETC., says
the dulleet observer could discern the signs
Of the times in New York to-day. Crowded
cars and stsges, no lee crowded stores and
sidewalks, Overlooking hotels, overloaded
drays and overfreighted trains and steam
boats-all attest the activity Of what is
termed ''fall trade" A stranger walking
up Broadway at midnight during the pss.
four weeks might have thought that portion
of New York never went to rest. Scarcely
a block between the postoffice and Union
square but had its open stores and piles Of
merchandise upon the sidewalks |; busy
clerks and sweating draymen, at hours when
ordinary citizens were fast asleep. What is
true of the metropolis is more or less true
of the entire country. New York is a ba-
rometer of national trade and almost every
body is working hard and is being paid for
il. The docks and storehouses along the
river front we're never put to harder service
since the busy days Of the American rebel
lion. The river and coasiing steamers come
and 60 with Overlooking cabins and immense
cargoes Of freight of every description. The
eye that is native to the harbor and familiar
with the names of vessels trading here will
to-day find vessels taking in loads Of grain
and cattle that were never before in the
American trade and that have been brought
now into requisition to meet unparalleled
demands.
