The New York Sen of Q recent date

rior life Of some Of the female pedes.
triaus who in that city have lately been
walking for wagers. The intense suf.

rounding, as depicted BY q reporter who

their struggles were for food instead of

driven to these public exhibitions BY

lowing is one Of n number Of narrowing

The Kieff correspondent OF the st.
Petersburg Journal gives the following
account Of "a outbreak among political
prisoners last month. The prisoners in
the kief prison resolved sometime ago
to tunnel under the wallis and escape.
The scheme wns betrayed by one OF the
conspirators. The authorities allowed
the prisoners to continue the excava-
ton. When the tunnel was completed
and the prisoners had entered II one
after another, intending to como mp
through an opening beyond the prison
precincts, soldiers previously stationed,
Mt the opening, shot the escaping pris-
oners as they came up. When the bulk
OF the prisoners, terrified by the noiso
OF firing, stopped and remained in the
tunnel, soldiers were sent in from be-
hind, and the unfortunate wretches,
caught between two fires. were all shot
down. The proceeding seemed to give
the officials much amusement, and the
director Of the prison was then praised
and decorated for having acted with
such cleverness and d. cision. The cor
respondent adds: "Quite in keeping
with this Is a statement published by
the Russian chaplain of the central
prison at Charkoff iu the official Epor-
ehoai Wed>mosh. He declares that OF
500 prisoners detained at that prison,
200 died within four months. One OF
the heaviest charges made by tho Nihil.

prisoners, in consequence of which the

The Bodie Nera says that town is
just Wild with excitement at the discov.
cry Of immensely rich gold placers in
one Of its streets. The particulars Of
the discovery are given a. follows:
In December last. Mr.. McDevitt. liv-
ing on Green street with his family.
dug well about ton test deep. throw
ing the earth and gravel around the
several days past Mrs. Nc
Dewitt noticed the Indians carrying of
the gravel, and being the wits OF a
miner 1t was q natural conclusion with
her that they must be carrying II off to
wash, and she concluded to try some
herself, and found 1t paid to wash with
pan, even in Bodie. II soon got
noised around through the town, and
men on nll sides were busy painting out
the gravel At the we'll John Cullen
washed IL pan Of gravel and there was
not less than ten or twelve dollars OF
nice, clean, pretty gold in the pan.
Others washed and obtained from fifty
cents to five dollars. Men would take
their double handsfull Of gravel and
have another to pour water on It and
get splendid prospects. It averaged at
least 81 90 to the pan. The result can
easily be conjectured. Every man went
to writing notices of location and plac-
ing them upon unclaimed mining
ground. until ut the present writing
the whole canyon is staked off and
claimed. it is asingulsr fact that you
cannot take a pan Of surface dirt from
any point within one-half mile OF the
McDevitt we'll without getting good
prospects. The present Indications are
that this strike will develop the richest
surface diggings ever found in the State.
1t has been known for several years that
all the ravines leading to Bodie Bluff,
the Saddle and Silver Hill. were rich in
surface diggings, but scarcity OF water
prevented its being worked.
