At Old Fort Lafayette.

OF all the prisoners confined at La
fayette the blockade-runners were the
most dangerous and gave the most
trouble. During the war some three
or four hundred of them were brought
to Lafayette, but not more than forty at
one time. One day they were ordered
to police their quarters and replied that
if the other prisoners were made to do
the same they would, otherwise they
would not. AS very strict discipline
was necessary they were all handcuffed.
Two hours later the executive officer
visited them to ascertain if they were
ready to obey the order given them and
to his surprise found that every one of
them had succeeded in removing his
handouts. Not knowing how far he
would be sustained in case of extreme
severity, this officer, with rare judgment,
tried another plan and reasoned with
them on the foolishness of their course.
They were completely nonplussed at
being met in such manner, antici-
pating very different treatment, and the
affair ended in their agreeing to obey
in future the orders given them. One
of these men, native of New Orleans,
informed Colonel Burke that he did not
intend to remain long and that he would
leave when it suited him. He was
bitter rebel, and despite the guards
vigilance, very nearly made good his
boast. a basket of apples was sent to
him one day, which, after examination
by an officer to see that it contained
nothing contraband, was turned over
to the prisoner. One dark, stormy
night, not long afterward, this prisoner
picked the lock which fastened the iron
grating over the embrasure and crawled
through TO the outside of the fort. The
and called out, " Halt, there, or | will
blow your head OFF, and advanced on
the escaping man with his musket at
full cock. The prisoner saw that his
opportunity for escape was gone unless
he could bride the sentinel, and offered
him $50 and his gold watch, but the
sentinel declined the offer and shouted
Justify for the corporal of the guard.
The corporal, fastening to the scene,
took charge of the prisoner, marched
him back into the fort, handcuffed him
and placed him in solitary confinement,
where he remained until exchanged.
When he was searched he had on a
new life preserver and in his pockets
were found $50 in gold and a gold
watch The innocent-looking basket
which had contained the apples was
then re-eXamined and found to have
double bottom, in which receptacle had
been secreted the life-preserver, watch
and money, a file and two pieces of
wire of peculiar construction. His
plans had been well laid for escape.
He had a brother who was the captain
of powerful tug in New York harbor,
from whom he had received the basket
of apples and with whom he had ar
ranged that at given time he was to
escape from the fort and, with the aid
of the life-preserver, swim to small
boat which the captain would have in
waiting to convey him to the tug near
at hand. The following day Colonel
Burke presented the faithful sentinel
with $50 as reward for his vigilance

Another Letter to Sister Jerusha.
Ely ELLEN NORTH.

My mind has been considerably exer-
csed in your behalf since reading your
article in late issue of this paper,
therefore, from your native Green
Mountain State, now robed in mantle
of white, l convey to you in your west
ern home sympathy and sorrow that
you are so unhappily yoked, but not
mated, to him who is your husband by

law. Wretched indeed are the homes
where only the law holds the occupants
therein. That the majority of women
are situated better than you, that juster
and nobler men exist, who bind their
households by the bonds of kindness
and love which no law can break or
destroy, believe; but that yours is an
exceptional case, as the editor has said,
deny. l have lived in several towns
in New England and have never yet
found any town, district, church, So
ciety or neighborhood, where l became
acquainted and familiar, where your
case, in its unhappy and unjust aspect,
was an exception. 1t seems to me that
no one is capable of giving advice in
such a matter, because no one can dis
sect or discriminate the causes which
produce the given result. One life
work is yours, one is mine-to do the
best we can for those who are helpless
and dependent upon us, our children.
Talk and advice are cheap, and my ex-
perience is that they who advise loudly
and tell you to do so and so are the very
last ones to give you a dollar to buy
bread or frock for the baby. If your
husband provides shelter, food and
clothes for your children, grudgingly
and meager though it be. please ask
yourself, "Who else would provide
even that for them?" Who will care
for and guide them as yourself? The
result in our womanhood is very differ
ent from what our girlhood anticipated
yet nevertheless true to cause that pro-
duced it? l do think it is angelic
and grandly noble to be able to give a
mild reply, if any, to the fault-finding
unreasonable words of an aggressor
Theories and prayers are easy, but tC
practice them is hard. The oakland
vine" theory is nice one, provided il
were not in so many cases wholly false
full of rottenness and dead mem;
bones. To bear and forbear, to hope
and to labor are the requisites which
goad us into higher growth and develop
ment, for we are all in the great march
of learning, yet not learned, progress
ing, yet not perfect. From the lower
must come the higher and from the
present conditions must come thai
which shall be.

A Letter to Discouraged
HOusekeepers.

BY A. NJ. -
Dear sisters, do you ever feel utterly
discouraged and weary-so tired of
work and the cares of life you hardly
feel it worth living? 1t is common
experience, but as you value your hap
piness and the peace of your hearth and
home do not speak of it in a complain
ing way. 1t is hard, when half sick and
never very strong, to be always doing.
The children must be clothed and fed,
the work must not get behind, or you are
lost. John will come home from work
glad of the shelter and refuge home
affords, and he must not see you untidy
in dress or with a clouded face. When
he chose you before all others he was
attracted by your face and figure, your
tidy, becoming dress and cheerful dis
position as he saw them. Do not fail
in these things now. 1t is better for
you to neglect something or everything
else. If you meet your husband day
after day with complaints of being
tired and discouraged, or of being dis
appointed in life, as though it were his
fault, or reproach him for some neglect
or oversight every time you get the
chance, he will feel it and you will lose
your hold of him. Do not interfere
with his business, and when he is tired
ask no questions. There are few things
that fret man more than that, accord
ing to my observation. If you must
speak of disagreeable things, or decide
some knotty point of duty, do not take
it up when both are tired or fretted,
but wisely choose a quiet hour. You
may ask why a woman must do these
things and be the family cross-bearer.
| answer, because she is woman. 1t
is her mission to keep home bright and
cheerful and to make it the one best
spot on earth to her family. 1t is a
cross and an effort to be at all times
ready to give soft answer, and it goes
against the grain to put down self and
keep the family peace and sunshine
always in mind, but in doing it is great
reward. He that ruleth his spirit is
greater than he that taketh city," and
in ruling your own temper and speech
you will in the end rule your own
household as you can in no other way.
" A cheerful cOuntenance doeth good
like medicine " and "a soft answer
turneth away wrath"
REMARKS BY EDIToR.-We once
heard a story of an old lady who went
to her minister with complaints of her
husband-of his hard words and abuse.
The minister, being man of peace,
said: 81 would, if l were you, try
heaping Goals of fire on his head"
Quoth the woman: :" / don't know how
that would du, but I've tried bilin'
water and that don't du no sort o. good. "
1t seems to us that the way pointed out
by our correspondent is the better one.
And there is another side to the picture
it is not always the woman who has to
bear and forbear, and men will find the
way indicated by our correspondent
conducive to peace when frowns meet
them at the threshold and singing
words follow their entrance. Some
times one, sometimes the other is in
fault, and it is the individual and not the
sex which makes the condition. God
help the household where anger and
bitterness of speech hold sway, and that
is almost past his help where anger
holds its reign in sullen silence.

The Republican primaries will be held in
the several precincts in the county to-day. In
this precinct but one ticket will be run. 1t
is much better that things have been arrang-
ed this way than to have two tickets in the
field, for two tickets always bring discussions
in the party at the general election. The
men who have been elected as delegates to
the Convention from this precinct are all sub
stant,al and Trustworthy citizens, and good
sound Republicans; therefore there is not
doubt that a good ticket will be selected
when the time comes, in so far as Dayton
delegates have a say. Following is the list;
