Nine months of hard and ingenious
labor by Johnny Sansome, convict to
the prison at Folsom, Cal, enabled
him to escape. BY thrusting wire
down between the granite blocks in the
floor of his cell, he discovered cavity
underneath. which was an abandoned
sewer With chisel which he SNUG
gled in from the workshop, and heavy
piece OF wood, he broke one of the
stones. This required month, be-
cause he could only strike hlow when
the door was closed, or some other
noise was made to hid it, and he fro
quently set up all night without being
able TO strike more than once or twice.
In the day time he was in the shop
After removing the halfsquare of gran
lite, he dug slowly down through three
feet of stone and cement, first boring n
hole, and afterwards letting the chips
fall through it, At the end of three
months he got into the sewer, and
found it plugged with stone and cement
ten feet thick at its former outlet The
remaining six months were spent in
digging through the obstruction. He
worked at night, and naked leaving his
clothes so arranged in bed that the
guard supposed he was in them. Foul
gas in the sewer nearly suflecated him,
loss of sleep made him i'll, and his
weight fell off to twenty-five pounds.
But he got out at last. Within three
hours an officer recognized him, and he
was again 81 prisoner.

wife, who, .or more than twenty-iiy
years, had been troubled with lame
back. Every time she took cold or
made any exertion in doing household
work, she would have to suffer with
great pain in her back, just across the
hips. We tried electricity and other
treatment with only temporary relief.
Her suflerings at times were intense;
nor could she rise up without help or
walk erect. Thinking that what had
relieved our pain, might; help her, we
tried st. Jacobs Oil, with great and
good results. We apply the Oil night
and morning, rubbing 1T in well. The
first application gave such relief that
we continued it, and i am glad to say,
with prime success. My wife, in en-
dorsement OF this, says she could not

Early Hatched Chickens.
Wisconsin Western Farmer.

Those who raise poultry know the
value of early chickens-the prospect
now is for mild spring, and those who
want fine broilers FOR their own use or
the market will do we'll to begin pre-
parations at once. To begin with we
want vigorous healthy fowl and hens
should be selected not over two years
old, mated with males about the same
age, no more than twelve hens should
be allowed with one cock. If more than
that number should be wanted they
should be placed in separate pens or
runs. Fowls for breeding purposes
should not be too fat, else they will no
lay as well, nor will their eggs be as
sure to hatch. The breeders having
been selected, proper food at suitable
intervals should ibe allowed and they
should have ample runs for exercise,
and so situated that they may obtain a
fair proportion ofgreen food and gravel
Stacked lime mixed with cruel should
also be within their reach
Large experience in breeding has
shown that mixed and varied diet is
highly necessary to make prolific lay
ers and fertile eggs. In the morning a
mush, warm, made of oatmeal With a
little cayene pepper added three times a
week. At noon wheat screenings mixed
with oats, and the same at evening.
Plenty of clear cold water should be
provided within easy access, and as the
weather gets warm, the drinking vessel
should be thoroughly rinsed every day
and the vessel protected from the rays
of the sun. Now, with our breeding
hens properly mated and everything in
order, we may be ready soon to crafty

reception that awaits the National As

From North and South, from Atlantic tide
water to the Pacific verge, there is to be gath
ering of the clans on Tennessee soil no more
fitting place for such a meeting-no better
time than 1882, when Tennessee is wide
awake, on the alert to show to all the
world her vast resources. The character
of our people is well known, but their
material possessions have not been I'M
derstood. There is now grand opportunity
for her to show TO her expected visitors
those attractions which, seen,will be rehearsed
to their people in every State and Territory,
on their return home. 1t will reflect great
honor on Tennessee and our city if our best
citizens shall literally subscribe the funds
necessary to make the expected visit of the
veterans one long to be remembered for Its
hospitality. The association was invited
here by Tennesseans, who pledged them
hearty greeting, and We believe they will get
such reception in this land, famous Tor its
gallant soldier-sons, as they have never ex-
perienced elsewhere. We understand all the
distinguished men OF that war expected
to be here, while veterans of every rank are
cordially invited. We hope soon to report the
success of the committee.
