Tom PAINE's EsoAPE.-Tom Paine tells
of his escape from the guillotine, during
his confinement in the Luxembourg, in
this way: 1.-THE room in which l was
lodged was on the ground floor, with the
door opening outward fat against the wall,
SO that when it was open the inside of the
door appeared outward, and the contrary
when it was shut. When persons were to
be taken out OF the prison for the guillotine,
it was always done in the night, and those
who performed that work had private
mark by which they knew what room to
visit. The door of my room was marked
one morning, when it was open, and fat
against the wall being closed in the even
ing, the fatal line OF chalk came inside, and
thus the destroying angel passed by. A
few days after this Robespierre fell, and
Mr.. Monroe arrived to reclaim me-"

Adciine Patti Coming to America.

New YORK, January 5th.-Rudolph Bal,
conductor at Raster Il BiaPs concert garden,
makes an announcement which seems TO place
it beyond any question that Adeline Patti
will come to this country next autumn.
Rumors to this effect have been current both
here and in Europe for some time, but there
seemed to be no certainty that they had any
foundation. Bal, however, states that he
has received letter from Nine. PATHS
agent, Mr. Polhni, in which that gentleman
requests him to take charge of the pre-
liminary arrangements for hes tour, and says
he will himself come over during the summer.
Mr. Bal is an old and warm personal friend
of the great singer, and it was at his theater
in Berlin that she gained some of her greatest
successes.

Incidents of Garfield's Last Hours.

NAAN
The story comes from the lips of DIR.
Agnew's wife. On the day set apart for
prayers by the governor of New Jersey,
the patient was lying in his easy chair,
gazing off on the distant sea. His wife
sat by his side. Presently the sound of
the church bells fell upon the ear. AS
they continued, some one called Mrs.
Garfield away. In few moments she
returned, telling her husband that one or
two of his friends feared that the noise
of the church bells might not be agree
able to him, aud if they affected his
nerves it could be stopped at once The
President looked up confdingly into his
wife's face and said: "Crete, the bells
that call to prayer can never iniure me. !"
Two or three days before his death,
Mrs. Agnew says, the patient in quiet
talk with DR.. Agnew remarked, doc

A SomnambuIistic Artist.

A case of somnambulism, which, ac-
cordlng to the statements furnished to
the Herald, would appear to be worthy
OF expert investigation, is that of a little
boy of fourteen, Martin Frobisher by
name. The boys father is teacher of
elocution and acting, and says that little
Martin, who has been from his earliest
boyhood IN tie habit of rising IN the
middle of the night IN somnambulistic
state, has been greatly fascinated with
the study of drawing, for which he shows
marked talent. This study has taken
such an intense hold of the bows mind
that he rises in the night in a COM
pletely unconscious state and will
continue to work on an unfin-
lshed piece of drawing with as
much skill and dexterity as though he
were awake. The other night he gotgup
and drew head, from a cast which he
had drawn on paper during the previous
day, on the wall of his chamber. Last
winter he caught q serious cold from
sitting up during the night in his night
shirt engaged upon his usual absorbing
pursuit, and next morning his mother
found him with a decided stiffness of the
knees. 81 can understand" the father
said, chow a sOmnambulistic subject
can go through certain mechanical mo-
tons, but it is inconceivable to me how
the boy is able to draw with such perfect
attention to every detail-to put express
sion into an eye, for instance, and spirit
into face" He exhibited some very
clever drawings by the boy, partially
done, as he declared, while the little
fellow was in this remarkable condi-
ton. When asked whether it
was a hereditary tendency in the
family he said that his own
brother-the boys uncle-had been
subject to it, and, strange to say, Mar
tins youngest brother was now catching
the infection Of nocturnal escapades.
The boy is bright, good-looking little
fellow, who appears to be thoroughly
sound but has evidently somewhat suf-
fered from confinement and overstudy.
He was closely questioned but could not
be got to say anything except that he
was utterly unconscious of what he had
done IN the nights in which he had been
up until he saw his drawings next morn
ing on the table or on the wall. The
father hopes the case will have the light

is great mystery to him and the entire

hour the men were at hand and the pipe
| was drawn down to the level of the
| organ-loft and laid horizontally. The
workmen had been informed of the
nature of their work, and all were under
intense excitement. The pipe was
very long, and the body was at least five
feet from the top. One of the workmen
reached in pole having a hook at the
end, and the next minute drew forth the
dead body of the sinister old organist
Baptiste Lacombe.
There was pause of silent horror
Nobody cared particularly for the dead
man, but the manner of his death was
terrible.
Chow did it happen?" whispered
one.
perhaps it was suicide" anrwered
another.
They began to more closely examine
the huge tube. Francois Tegot, who, al
though thus far cooler than the others,
now seemed unable to stand, and pointed
to the hand of the dead man, which was
tightly clenched upon q small cord. One
of the workmen approached, and with
some difficulty drew out the line; and a
new thrill of expectation went through
the silent company when they saw, at
tached to the end of the line, an old
leather bundle covered with dust.
Young Tegot now seemed to master
himself by a great effort, and motioning
the workman back, he advanced, and
lifting the bag tenderly out into more
convenient position, he said solemnly, as
| if to himself, 81 have long suspected
something was wrong, and now I shall
| know"
Then he examined the bag, and AT
length took from his pocket knife and
carefully cut open one side.
Despite the fact that he expected the
revelation that now came, he started a
little back, for the opening revealed q
piece of cloth, coat, which even the
town official could recollect to be the
coat of the long-lost organist, Raoul
| Tegot, Francois father.
| The young man stepped back and
sank again into his seat, and the others,
coming forward, laid the bag quite open,
and drew forth watch and embroidered
vest; in pocket of the coat was found q
purse. &" Here is an odd treasure" said
one of the workmen, holding up locket
of dull gold.
Francois seized it and opened it. The
color forsook his face and his eyes filled
with tears. He simply said:
" My mother"
The tOwn-oficial now whispered to the
surprised organ-builder, that the vii
famous Lacombe had killed poor Tegot
on the morning of the trial, and had
secreted the body in some unknown place
and hidden the valuables here. Fright
ened by the fear of discovery, he had at
tempted to remove the treasures, and
had fallen into the pipe and had this
met horrible death. "There is moth
ing secret, said Francois, "but shall be
revealed. Sin is its own detector, and
its secrets cannot rest"
The excitement among the townspeo-
pie was for many days even greater than
it had been at the time of Tegot's disap.
pearance, and many and bitter were the
reproaches heaped upon the wicked or
ganist's memory.
Francois was Immediately chosen or
ganist, and held the position during his
entire life.

1000, 900 boxes are already absorbed
yearly by the United States, more than
threefold of the consumption of the
continent of Europe, of which quantity
a full tenth goes to pack sardines at
Nantes. Australian meat Graves an ever
increasing supply, while British bis
cults, mustard, and gunpowder range in

then there is the indifferent, not caring
what he wears; the fussy, particular

gorgeous and extreme; the neat, pre-

man who wishes to please his wife, his

dictate to the unsuspecting, weak-mind-

SMITH absconded from Denver with

Chicago detectives forced him to dis
gorge $3.50 as the condition of being al

When third man made similar de-
