Escaped from the jail.

Sunday morning last about 10
o'clock, Mrs. Viola Grove. who was
in Jail in default of bail Tor violation
of the Local Option law, made her
escape. and is still at large. She effec-
ted her escape by inducing the little
daughter of the Sheriff to open the
door of the female department. AT
the time the Sheriff was out of town,
and Deputy Coddington was attend
ing to the stock in the stable. She
was dressed in male attire, and I'M
douhtedly remained hidden in or near
town until Sunday night, when she
started West. She spent Monday
night in Grafton, and it is surmised
that she is now with her mother at
West Union, Doddridge county, w.
Va. IN her sell was found some dog
geral verse in which she vented her
spleen against those who had been
instrumental in causing her arrest.
The people generally are glad that the
community is rid of her. Her hus-
hand was arrested on the same charge
at the same time, bur made his escape
from the Magistrates Office about the
time his case was called, and when
last heard from was In Ohio.

A POSthumous Birth.

The Rev. John Lindsey, now
preaching in Richmond county,
North Carolina, was born four
months after his mother had been
pronounced dead and was buried.
His mother. to all appearances, died
and was buried in StewartsYille GEM
etery. The night following her in
terment persons, for the purpose of
securing the jewelry buried with the
body, unearthed the remains, when
consciousness returned and she was
enabled to return TO her home. Ar
irving at her late residence, she raj =
ped at the door, and was answered
by her husband, who was overjoyed
to meet again in life his beloved wife,
whom he had mourned as dead.
Four months afterwards Rev. Mr..
Lindsey was born. This statement
is made by Rev. Mr.. Lindsey, and is
literally true.

too sanguine." However, although
he never saw a bound copy of his
book he lived long enough to realize
that 1T would be a financial success,
though he did not even then dream
what splendid venture it would
prove. He saw the printed sheets,
and Webster & Co. were hurrying up
a bound copy for him. but he died
four days before it was ready.

fore in one lump by an author for a
book was check for 100000, $780,

Scott made about 100000 by his pen
in something like ten years, but $780,
900 in one year and 100000 In less
than two years is altogether UMPIRE
cedented. Nor are these all the re-
markable facts connected with the
book. The first edition, 325. 900 copies,
is the largest first edition ever pub
lished. OF that great number only
1000 copies now remain in the hands
of the publishers.
The second volume is in active
preparation and will be issued some.
time during the month of April.
Forty presses are at work on it, and
the plates are so arranged that every
impression of the presses prints an
entire copy of the book. The terms
made by Messrs Webster & Co., with
Gen. Grant were liberal, but they
have nevertheless profited largely
themselves. They agreed to give
him 20 per cent of the net profits de.
rived from the sale of the home edi.
ton, and IS percent of the profits of
the foreign edition. Sampson Low,
Marston. Searle & Rivington, of Lon
don, who publish the foreign edition,
give Webster & Co. 80 percent of the
net profits. This is likewise the larg-
est percentage ever obtained for an
American book abroad.

Gen. Grants Book.

Charles l.. Webster & Co., the pub
fishers of Gen. Grants hook, sent
Mrs. Grant check yesterday for
5000. 900 as her proportion of the pro.
ceeds so far derived from the sale of
the Generals book. The check is
drawn In favor of Mrs. Julia D. Grant
on the United States National Bank
OF this city, and the receipt signed by
Mrs. Grant specifies that the check is
"to apply on account of profits accru-
ing from sale Of Volume / of Per-
sonal Memoirs of U. S. Grant," In
letter concerning the check written
to Cyrus w. Field, Mr.. Webster says:
1.-THE contract with Gen. Grant for
the publication Of the Memoirs was
signed just year ago to-day, since
which time the book has been prac-
tically written, published, and the
great bulk of money for the first vol
ume collected.
ut seems fitting to me on the an
niversary of the signing of that con-
tract to pay to Mrs. Grant the check
which you know about, and it will
accordingly be handed her this morn
ing.
"More is due her and she will be
paid as soon as collected.
1--WE expect to collect as much
again when the second volume ap.
pears, so that Mrs. Grants profits
within year from publication will
not fall below S4OO, 900, and will prob
ably reach S5O0,OO0.
Both as regards the time and the
amount involved, this is the most ex-
traordinary result of authorship in
the history of English literature. Nor
is it all, for on the day the contract
was signed, February q, 1885, Mr.,
Webster gave to General Grant q
check for 81 200. Mr.. Webster re.
marked yesterday that this last was
probably the most acceptable check
that Gen. Grant ever received, for il
went to him at time when he was
broken in health and fortune and was
sorely in need of money. He was at
that time decidedly skeptical about
the success of his book and repeatedly
said to Mrs. Grant: "Do not base
too much hope, Julia, on what Mr.
Webster says, because he is altogether

In recent lecture Professor Sum-
ner eXpounded his views on the SUBJ
ject of socialism, which he regards as
one of the most important questions
of the present day. He is opposed on
economic grounds to every form of
socialism except that where co .oper-
alton is voluntary. The cooperative
commonwealth, which is the system
that modern s0cialistic reformers are
advocating, where everyone would
be compelled cooperate, he regards
as a tyranny and system that could
never under any circumstances be es-
tablished so long as human nature
remains what it has been in the past
history of the world and is to-day.
The progress of the race within the
last century has been greater than in
any 900 years previously, owing to
the invention of labor-saving ma.
chinery and the discoveries of modern
science. He says that modern civili-
zation has made probably 100000
of the 10000, 100000 people on the
globe to-day comparatively well off,
and adds that the socialists want to
wipe out what little progress has
been made because the whole work
of civilization has not been accom-
plished and made them all well of.
Things must be left to adjust them.

Egan was great friend of Curran's
and held the Office of chairman in
Kilmainham. He wasa man of huge
size and massive build, as brawny
and nearly as black as a coal porter.
The friendship that existed between
the two for many years was inter-
rupted by a quarrel so bitter that a
duel was the consequence. They
met on the Fifteen Acres, and on the
ground Egan complained that the
disparity in size gave his adversary
an unfair advantage. II might as
well shoot at midget as at him."

contest after that was not deadly

was hit, and reconciliation followed.
