A PRISONERS ESCAPE.

known till Z O'Clock. Gardner left note, so
writes the iailer TO Marshal Foster, saying
that be would return in time TO &c. an nom
orable discharge" During Gardeners alleged
Incarceration before bis trial, rumors wer>
rife that he wss en- ioying picnic rather than
imprisonment, sharing the good cheer OF the
jsielr's table, rooming with some students
who were boarding ia the 6herifs residence,
and occasionally taking buggy ride TO re-
Deye the moDotony OF his location In q
country town. In fact, he had the freedom
OF the Place, and Was prisoner
only in name. This vas known
to the United Sta es officials here, bu. Gsyd-

keeping the officials really wiakej az tbs lax

THE RATE OF WAGES.

In an article referring to the labor quss-
ton, the Christian Union says that the cost
of subsistence determines the rate of wages.
This Is true so far rs the greater part of
European nations are concerned, but hap
PLY it Is not yet true of the wsgss paid to
labor in the United States. Here. owing to
the fact that the country is very extensive
and but partially developed: that it is am
ply capable OF supporting q much larger
population, and that free homes may still
be obtained OIL the public domain,
wages are on the average somewhat in ex.
cess OF the cost of substance, and it is
practicable. when no general business depres-
sion exists, as at present. for workiEgmen
to save something for a rainy cay. But this
will not last always. As the public land
disappears. as the population grows larger.
and IS the country becomes mere settled the
rate OF wsges will fell. and ultimately what
the Union says concerning the cost Of sub.
tisience dstermininy the recompenss Of
labor will be- IS true OF this land as Ii now 10

Reinhold called one of the parties out to in
quire about the man OF musical tendencies,
and about the same time Constable Glass
was questioned by another employe as TO
the object of his visit. He produced his

in possession a capias for Hubert. About

An Old Plea for Common Schools.

The following is quoted from a
stirring and eloquent speech of Bish-
op Doane, of New jersey, in favor of
improving the common school system,
'delivered half century ago. We
need not say that it is still eminently
pertinent to the times:
"Tax yourselves for the support of
common schools, and you will never
be in danger of taxation from for
eign power. You will need less taxa
ton for the support of pauperism and
the punishment of crime. Look to
your school houses. See that they
are convenient of access, that they
are comfortable. that they are neat
and tasteful. Look to the teachers.
See that they are taught themselves
and apt to teach-men that fear God
and love their country. See that
they are well accommodated, well
treated, well remunerated. Respect
them and they will respect them
selves, End your children will respect
them, Look well to the scholars
Remember you are to grow old
among them. Remember you are to
die and leave your country in their
hands"
