OF Notorious Convict from the
Penltenttary at jackson.
Special to the Commercial Herald.
JACKSON, Miss Nov. III. II.
Ackerman, one of the most notorious
thieves ever confined in the peniten-
tiary of this State, made his escape last
night. He is the character who
originated and lead the mutiny in the
penitentiary a few weeks since, which
was recorded in your colHmns, and
which fortunately was discovered In
time to be thwarted. He made a
considerable reputation in this State
in robbing cars on the Illinois Central
railroad, on the northern division. He
is slick, oily fellow, and 1t was a
long time before he could
be caught, but he was finally
arrested, convicted Of assault and
battery with intent to kill and rob
near Grenada, on July 18th, 1885, and
sentenced to ten years Imprisonment at
hard labor. En- route, and while the
cars were in rapid motion, he leaped
through window, but in two days
was recaptured and lodged behind the
walls of the State prison. After his
mutinous attempt he was heavily load
ed with irons, and in addition chained
and locked to the floor. Last night,
however, while the roll was being
called, he escaped by means Of ladder
over the walls, leaving his irons
and paraphernalia in the prison. An
examination showed that in some man
ner he had secured a file and cut
through his fastenings. Instant pur-
suit with bloodhounds was given, but
all efforts to capture him have proven
futile. He has been a notorious thief
since childhood, and is well known to
the police of several cities. He is a
German Jew, very light complexion.

LAKE PROVIDENCE, La, Nov. IL
The honorable court of appeals con-
vened on Monday, Judges Gumby and

to petition presented by numerous
citizens Of the town of Providence,
convened on yesterday and authorized
the mayor to call an election to be
held on the 25th of November, 1885,
to obtain the sense of the qualified
voters residing within the corporate
limits as to the question Of prohibit
tion, or whether license for the sale of
intoxicating liquors shall be issued by
the municipal government of the town
Of Lake Providence or not.
The caving at Desonia levee below

A Curious Collection OF swords-soms-
thing the Governmsnt Neglected.
washington Rspublican.i
Adj. Gen. Cameron had Just put
some finishing touches to the swords
that he placed upon the walls OF the
rooms OF the national head uarters of
the Grand Army OF the Republic at llO6
street as the reporter strobe in.
You are getting sthetic about

no stood off a distance to admire his
work.
Where did all of those relics come
FRONT" 4
Battle fields, principally. NEyery-
thing upon the walls has a history. At
the beginning OF the war the Conferates
had any number OF foreign made arms
! Of would be astonished at the variety
and age Of them. Plintlock muskets
and pistols were found in numbers upon
the battle fields, as well as swords, no
doubt made many years before the war.
II looks very much to me like tho
southerner grabbed the first weapon at
hand. There is no doubt that many Of
the swords, guns, pistols, pixies, pixies.
etc, found after a battle were heir
looms. As an example, here is n dag
ger made of an old-time Spanish sword.
The handle and blade would indicate It's
nationality. Many of the arms found
were Of English or continental make.
Another strange thing | will mention
is that the United states has no museum
that contains any specimens of old-time
foreign manufactures of weapons. Tho
war offered this government a fino
chance to make such a gathering. The
collections of old arms made and stored
in the museums Of the government
were finally sold for old iron to the juuk
man. Upon these walls have placed.
ms you can sec, many samples of swords.
Here, for instance, is what nearly every
one calls u sword. 1t is o one. IL is
an old.time German bayonet. No one
can tell its age. Again, you will see
several styles OF cutlasses. They are all
in good order, and rs they stand they
illustrate the progress made in the
science and manufacture of such things.
81 have tried to discover if our gov
ernmeut has saved any of the curios
tiles OF foreign made guns, etc, re
ceiyed from the battle-felds, but,
strange to say, so far | have failed. /
look upon these curios as treasures.
Any old soldier will go wild over them.
They are q history in themselves. and
Indicate much in the way of the prepar.
alton for war that was in progress by
the south at the outbreak of the re-
hellion. "

Diamond must go. That is to say,
the practice Of wearing these precious
stones at breakfast. at market, while
shopping, and even while doing chores
about tho house, so common among
American women, can not be tolerated
much longer. The women who wear
alleged gems at inappropriate seasons,
invite the suspicion that their decora-
tons are cheap limitations. The natural
inference of thoughtless observers is
that any woman able to buy diamonds
onght TO know enough TO know when to
wear them. TO display them on small
occasions. in the street; at church. in
the horsc-cars, is to advertise ones vul
garity in the most conspicuous manner.
In fact the wearing OF diamonds in the
street is 10Y condemned as "%ostentati-

WIS %rummaging in an old cellar, and
turned up, among many relics of the
good old times, a certain iapanned box,
lino inches long by half an inch broad.
contained a number of small articles,
notably a piece Of steel with a handle
like the GRO Ter Of a bishop; q match or
two Of rough deal splinters, cut to a
point and besmeared with birthstone a
piece OF flint, and a bit of charred linen
with a fusty smell. This linen was
blackened by having been set on fire
and rapidly extinguished by putting n
Hat piece of lead upon it. This was the
old finder box, from which many u
good fire, which had cooked many a
good dinner, had been lighted; from
which the morning candle of merchants
and tradesmen had been lit, and to
which they owed much of their wealth.
