A DETROIT daily says: Five convicts
got of Jackson prison by boring under
the floor, and four got out of Ionia by
boring through the roof. II these In
genious gentlemen were only to exert
equal industry, perseverance and skill
at legitimate occupations they would
be valuable members of society. Those
especially who did the Jackson job, de-
serve a great deal of credit. The Count
of Monte Cristo and his fellow prisoner
did very fair piece of work in digging
through the solid walls of their dun
geon, but they had the advantage of
being almost undisturbed and unob-
served in their solitude. But the Jack
son convicts had to work all day in the
shops under the eyes of keepers and re-
main all night in their solitary cells
pening on guarded corridors. Yet
hey found time and opportunity to dig
+, tunnel forty feet long from disused
blacksmith shop, which they could reach
only by stealth, and dispose of many
tons of earth, not an ounce of which has
been found. Either the authorities of
the prison are lying, or this is the cum
ningest piece of jail breaking which has
occurred in many years.

that already quite R number of Ameri-

for cruising purposes by n European
power in the event of hostilities on the

ships will be largely purchased here for

severe gripings quickly follow. The pain is

The presence Of disease OF 81 alarming a
