FRISKY FOR FREEDOM,
Another Plot for Breaking Out OF
the Jail.

Another scheme for a jail break has
been discovered and frustrated. The
plan, as concocted, was to seize Tailor
Schontz as he entered the Jail at night to
lock the prisoners in their cells. The
plan was to seize the iailor by force, and
thrust him into a cell and lock him in.
Then the prisoners were to take one of
the cell doors, which weigh about three
hundred pounds each, and use it as a
battering ram to break down the outer
doors, so they could skip. Tailor
Shontz, whose long daily experience
in the Jail has taught him to
read faces and actions of prisoners, on
entering the Jail noticed hat something
was on foot, and boldly asked the boys
what the matter was. They saw that he
was on the alert, and hesitated. His
.quickness of perception bothered them,
and they one by N entered their coils
without making the break. SO confident
was he that something was wrong that
he began investigating, and ascertained
the plot he has above stated. Yesterday
one of the prisoners was let out, and, on
being questioned closely, he confirmed
the statement, and the condition of one
the doors gave further proof of the
plot. AS the time nears for the holding
of the District court the prisoners are
more end more apprehensive and
uneasy, and it takes constant watchful- |
ness to prevent them from making a

 United States.]
 It is pleasant to reflect that, while our coantryMen have been making such astonish ing progress in all that administers to the comforts and conveniences of life, they have at the same time grown charitable and hu- mane. There is, indeed, scarcely scrap of information bearing upon the subject extant which does not go to prove beyond ques- tion that the generation which witnessed the Revolution was less merciful and tender hearted than the generation which witnessed the civil war. Our ancestors, it is true, put up a just cry of horror at the brutal treat nent of their captive countrymen in the prison ships and hulks. So great was their indignation that money was to be stamped with representations of the atrocities of which they complained, that thefr descend in remembrance the cruelty of the British and the suffering of the patriots. Yet even then the face of the land was dotted with prisons where deeds of cruelty were done, Tn comparison with which the foulest acts com mitted in the hulks sink to contemplate insignifcance. For more than fifty. years after the peace there was in Connecticut an underground prison, which surpassed in hor- TOTS the Black Hole of Calcutta. This den, known as the NeWgate prison, was Tn an old vorked-out copper mine ln the hills near Granby The only entrance to 1t was by means of a ladder down shaft which led to the caverns underground There. in little pens of wood, from thirty to one hundred culprits were immured, their feet made fast to iron bars and their necks chained to beams in the roof. The darkness was intense; the caves reeked with filth; vermin aboundsd i; water trickled from the roof and oozed from the sides of the caverns huge masses of earth were perpetually falling of, In the dampness and the filth the clothing of the prisoners grew moldy and routed away and

Spanish Guitar Playing.


 All of us have heard of, and some may have seen, the Spanish lover talking to his "ladye fair'' at the grated window, or sere- nading her on the twanging guitar. This cold catching amusement is called eating iron" (''comer sl hierro") or ''plucking the turkey" ("pelar Ia pava.") Most people have probably thought as I did, that these young men and maidens braved rheumatism and chills (for the wind is cutting enough sometimes, even in Andalusia) for the sake of romantic colloquy undisturbed by any listeners but the moon, confident already of so many secrets, and never known to have betrayed them. I had often seen these ena mored couples at Malaga, in years gone by, and imagined no other reason for their airy contradictions. In one case I remember at Seville the lady was aloft in 8 second-foor window, so that the communications inter changed could not be whispered nothings." ," Nevertheless, to my surprise, evening after evening the entranced pair were to be seen at their posts, gazing on each other and talk ing sweet nothings when the stray passer-by had turned the corner. Possessed with this idea, had never inquired into the origin of such common custom, which prevails, it may be said, among the better classes and rarely among the poor. But last autumn, when the conversation turned upon the sub ject one day, was assured by Spaniards that this exterior filtration owes it's origin 1n no way to romance or desire for 8 tete tete by moonlight The reason is simply this. The young man outside is outside because, though he knows tho lady, he does not know her family. At church or in the streets the tele graph of the eyes and of the fan has been at work, and an acquaintance has been estab- lished but as the swain is stranger to the lady's relations the interviews can naturally only take place at the window. If, however, after n certain amount of uighing and guitar strumming (which latter, one may mention, is quite going out of fashion) the acquaint- ancs ripens into something serious, the lover then finds means of being presented in due form to the family. But from the moment he enters the door of the house romance flies away from the window. The love making is henceforth conducted indoors in as matter of fact fashion as in other countries. So far my infsrmants: it would be curious to hear what any Spanish correspondent would volunteer on the subject.

their limbs became stiff with rheumatism. The Newport prison was perhaps the worst in the country, yet in every county were jails such as would now be thought unfit for places of habitation for the vilest and most loathsome of beasts. At Northampton the
 cells were scarce four feet high, and filled with the noxious gases of the privy vaults,
 through which they were supposed to be ven tilatsd. Light came in from two chinks in
 the wall. At the Worchester prison were
 number of like cells, foar feet high by slev-
 en long. without window 8 chimney, or even a hole in the wall Not 6 ray of light ever penetrated them. In other jails in Mas saehusetts the cells were so small that the prisoners were lodged in hammocks swung one over the other. In Philadelphia the
 keeps were eighteen feet by twenty feet, and so crowded that at night each prisoner had space six feet by two to lie down ln-
 The misery of the unfortunate creatures cooped up in the cells, even of the most hu- namely kept prisons, surpassed in horror anything ever recorded in fiction. No at tendance was provided for the sick. No l clothes were distributed to the naked. Such l thing as a bed was rarely seen, and this l soon became so foul with insects that the | owner dispensed with it gladly. Many of l the inmates of the prison passed years with | out so rouoh as washing. themselves Their 1 hair grew long. Their bodies were covered | with scabs and lice, and emitted a horrible 1 stench. Their clothing routed from their | backs and exposed their bodies, tormsnted l with all manner of skin diseases and a vel ! low flesh cracking open with filth. The | death-rate often stood as high as sixty in one | thousand. AS if such torments were not hard enough to bear, others were added by the | half-naddened prisoners. No sooner did 8 | new conner enter the door of cell than 8 | rush was made for him by the inmates who | stripped him of his clothing, and let him stand stark naked till it was redeemed by | what in the peculiar jargon of the place was known as drink money. It sometimes hap pened that the prisoners were in possession of carefully preserved blanket. Then this ceremony called garnishing was passed over for the yet more brutal one of blanketing In spite of prayers and entreaties, the miser- able stranger was bound, thrown into the blanket, and tossed till he was half dead and ready to give his termentors every superfu- ous garment to sell for money. With the tolls thus exacted, liquor was bought, fendish revel was held, and, when bad rum and bad tobacco had done their work, the few sober inmates of the cell witnessed such scenes as would be thought shocking in the dance houses which cluster along the wharves of our great seaboard towns.
