Mrs Belva A. Lockwood, the Washington
woman lawyer is trying case before the United
States circuit court at Boston, being employed
by Providence woman. She is about fifty
wears old, and appeared we'll In the courtroom.
Her handsome matronly form was ROBBED in a
black velvet suit, diamond rings sparkled in her
ears, and she impressed the spectators as both
alert and able Lawyer A. A. Ranney conducted
the opposition, and in reply to one of his points
Mrs. Lockwood said "When you, sir, as legis-
lator. open the law schools and CT nrts of Massa-
chusetts to women lawyers, you may expect
women to know something OF the law" The
case is significant as the first OF its kind in New
England, and from the fact that our supreme
court recently refused to allow women to prac-
tice before 1t. The Rhode Island Woman Suf-
ffage Association expressed It's sense Of the inn
portance Of the event by giving Mrs. Lockwood
. reception at Providence.

TEE PLOTS OF PRISONERS.
The Ingenuity of Ccnvicts i'm Plan.
ming Escapes.

From the New York Times.
Bolts and bars and walls built 10 resist the
teeth of time are not always sufficient to restrain
the convicts in the state prison az Auburn
confinement seems TO sharpen the wits OF the
prisoners, and not only have they been known
to devise successful plans to cScape. but to in
vent most ingenious appliances and machinery
Old attaches of the prison could tell stories OF
the achievements Of convicts that woud read
ike fables and yet be as true rs sacred writ.
Every morning the contractor drives in through
the north gate. and. receiving his lead of three
or four barrels at the Kitchen drives ont again
convict several years ago thought he saw in
the swill-barrel a means of escape. and he pro
ceeded to put his idea into operation. He en-
veioped his head i'm cloths and got into barrel
OF liquid SWil The gatekeeper is provided
with long iron roo and is required to probe
or examine every load. no matter what it may
be. that leaves the prison. When the WAGON
reached the gate, the keeper ran the rod into
the barrel in which the convict was concealed.
1t struck an obstruction: and he plunged il i'm
again with considerable force. He was amazed
to see filthy oblect emerge from the swii and
utter mul1ed Cry of pain. 1t DID not take the
keeper long, however. to determine that il was
a convict attempting to escape
Citizens are employed in the prison shops in
large numbers, and they pass in and out with
out any questions being asked. A convict once
ciiibfaceu the opportunity t!at tlis practice al
fords. He secured pair of overalis and a blouse
and, shOuidering yise walked past the guards
When he reached the street he threw down the
wise and made for the country. Slipping out of
the ranks is one of the practices OF convicts as
the preliminary step to an escape. One cold
winters morning, while it was still dark. two
convcts lett their places in the line. They had
previously obtained long piece of wire. and,
attaching hook to one end, they tore up their
bed clothing and wound it tightly aboGt il. This
made stiff rope and. reaching it up they
caught the hook on the bars OF the window i'm
the story above They climbed up from win
dow to window until they reached the roof. from
which they descended TO low side wall and
dropped to the ground. Several times fire has
broken out in the prison and has been found to
be the work OF convcts. There is fire brigade
composed of picked men. who are supposed to be
trustworthy. but it has been shown that they
cannot be relied upon. At nearly every fire in
side the walls the prisoners have cut the hose
and done everything in their power to advance
the flames, in the vain hope that the whole insti-
tuition would burn down.

BULL FIGHTING IN Ell PASa.
Disguised Texan Suggests That a Cow
Would Offer Better sport.

From the Leavenwcrth Times.
After long waiting a bugle is sounded. the
doors are thrown open. and five horsemen enter
the ring. one conveying stout pole with prod
in the end of it. Next come four bull fighters
on foot. with stick about four feet long and a
dirty red cloth about the size Of a small table
cloth, and they scatter themselves around be-
hind the several blinds. Now the excitement is
at fever heat; Guaiuloune smiles, the bugle
sounds, the doors are thrown open, and in comes
a little stump-taiIed bull or stag with his horns
sawed off. The horsemen ride out and oil in
turn get the animal to chase them around ana
the fOotmen venture out from their respective
places of safety in like manner, and this per-
! torrance is kept up until the spe d ana hio'ioh
/ OF the animal is reduced to Il certainty.
| The fOOtmPn now become quite Dold IneF
/ string their cloth on the stick in front of the
! bull and he rushcs for it with all the speed ne
has left. The man holding the coth springs
aside the bull passes to the next man ana so on.
Next comes sticking the little spears in the ami
mails neck These are little sharp-pOinted rods
! with wooden handles, Ornamented with tissue
paper tin rings. &c. You will remember that
il ia the cloth the bull is fighting all the time
One man attracting the attention of the animal.
and another approaching him from the rear at
full speed. the animal turning his head to look
cut for the new danger. the man plunges the
spear in his neck and passes on They now
turn allow the animal to chase them around the
ring. This is kept up according to the nerve of
the bull.
Next and last comes the killing with the
sword The fighter has the cloth in his LETT and
the sword in his right hand; now appears the
bleeding and exhausted bull which plunges
away at the cloth. and the fighter prods him in
the neck and perchaDce kills him; yet | saw
them try five. and none We're killed. They do,
/ however manage to mangle the Door animal
horribly about the neck. This is all there is i'm
a bull fight. and the whole matter was explained
by Texas cattle man. who sat next me and re-
marked: why don't the - towards turn
COW in and try herr" A bull when making an
attack always shut his eyes. and does not open
them until the object he assaults ceases to be a
resistance. while the mad COW never does and
follows the object up. Hence. fighting mad
! bull is much like lighting blind animal and
upon the whole gigantic fraud. and any ma
tionality that sanctions any such cruel treat
ment of dumb brutes ought to be blotted out.

From the Fort Wayne Gazette.

gentleman in the west end, when the small
pox scare was first agitated in the city, pur-
chased some vaccine matter for the purpose of
vaccinating his family. He mixed the matter
with some water on q piece OF glass. and In doing
so portion Of the mixture adhered to one Of
his finger nails. Soon after. having occasion to
pick his nose, he fortunately used the finger
which had come in contact with the matter. and
the consequence was it took splendidly IN his
nasal organ. Coming in contact thus with the
membranes Of the nose, it spread all through his
head, and, as q result, he has been confined to
his bed fer two weeks. There will be no ques-
ton hereafter with this gentleman that, il there

French Census Taking.

On Sunday, December 49, the mayors of the
different districts and communes of France will
request the inhabitants to answer a number of
indiscreet questions rendered necessary by the
taking OF the census This operation will be
performed on the same day all over France. The
emissaries of the mayors will deposit the neces-
sary formula in the hands of the concierge or OF
the principal tenant, who will distribute them
to the inhabitants of the house. The agent of
the mayor will then collect them. The operation
will be threefod. There will be a personal bull
letsn. q household bulletin. and hOusc-Sheet.
The personal bulletin will contain the following
questions: Name; sex age; birthplace
nationality; married, single, widOwer; profess
sion, trade; permanent resident or traveller.
Each inhaDtant. even children just born, will
have a personal bulletin. and the chief of the
household will copy into the household bulletin
the summary results of the personal bulletins.
This sheet will then be returned to the concierge,
who will hand it to the landlord, who in his turn
will reply to series of questions as to the num-
Der OF dwellings, workshops. etc, in his house.
The cost of taking the census of Paris will be
about 100000 francs. The calculations are
to be completed on March Is. We need not
point out the diSagreeableness Of this opera
ton, owing to the fact that it Obiiges tenants to
let their concierges into all their little secrets.
How many cases are there in France where. ow
ing to the absence of divorce. women separated
from their husbands, have lived conjugally for
years and years with men who are only prevent
ed from marrying them by the want of a law au-
thOrizing divorce. Well, when the cOncierges
cast their inquisitive eyes upon the replies of
their tenants. and discover FIAT household
that has for years been respected in the quarter
is legally only faux me,age. there will be q
fine amount of gossiping! and not only that
but the situation of the man and the woman
will be more than unpleasants Thisis an extreme
case, but one which interests very deeply thou
sands of Frenchmen who are not responsible for
the shortcomings of the legislation Of their
country. However. it appears that there is no
law Obliging citizens to reply by writing to the
questions addressed to them by the mayor rela-
tive to the census. 1t is the mayors business
to obtain the information. and citizens are them
selves the only judges OF the measure in which
to answer questions Furthermore, there is no
! law which lays down any punishment or penalty
| for false information on these bjects.-Pdcis-
