But 1t was a %nerculean task upon which
our brave boys had entered, and my state
ment to the marshal was literally correct,
though it could be Of little use to him. I
cannot look back upon what they did
without thinking that in dangers en-
couSered AID obstacles overcome, the
preudest exploits of Livingstone or Stanley
were not superior.
A whole volume would be required for
the adventures In detail Of these different
parties, but some brief account seems
needful for tho completeness of our story.
TIT different narratives have been fur
nisEed me for publication by the parties
themselves, or are condensed and revised
from accounts Published by them, some
very near the time Of tho return Of the
fugitives. The story in each case was Of
such extraordinary character that local
newspapers were glad Of tho privilege of
laying 1t before their readers. These
different accounts have been carefully
compared, and any paragraphs which
have only passing Or local interest have
been omitted. q
The first story 10 that of our engineers,
and is furnished by Knight, with a few
additional items by his companion, Brown.
They were the foremost Of the whole party
In the u for tho woods, as they had been
in attacking the guard. Knight says:
We started for tho woods that were about q
mile distant. We ran through gardens or any.
thing else that came in the way. kicking the
pickets of several garden fences as the easiest
way 70 get over them. To say we were tired out
when we reached the wnois does not half express
our condition. The woods WAS but marrow, and
we only stopped there long enough to catch our
wind. and then pressed on again. Mason, Dorsey

FEW OF THE ESCAPED RAlDERs.

4 FEW OF THE ESCAPED RAIDERS.
The eight men who got away from tho
immediate vicinity Of the prison travelled
in couples, taking different routes and
meeting with . great variety of stirring
adventures. Porter and Wollam went
westward and reached the Tennessee
river, down which they foated in a boat,
making q land circuit to avoid mussel
shoals, till they reached Corinth, in Mis-
sissippi, on the 18th Of November. having
been q month and two days on their peril
routes.
Dorsey and Hawkins pursued a route
similar in general direction to the last,
but keeping a little further west. They
were entangled in the outposts Of Bragg's
army, then on its retreat from Kentucky,
and very narrowly escaped capture. They
also were greatly helped by the Union
people Of East Tennessee, and without such
aid would very probably have died with
cold and hunger in the mountains. They
and all the others were received by their
army comrades and relatives Of men risen
from the dead.
But the most surprising and longest but
easiest route wa that taken by Wood and
Wilson. The former was so sick that 1t is
not probable he could in any other way
have been saved at all. They struck south
west till they encountered the Clatta-
hoochee river, when, seiziug q boat, they
padded down the stream night after night,
hiding by day, till they reached the Gulf
Of Mexico, when they stood boldly out to

worth visit. There are some very fine
pieces Of sculpture in one Of them, both
modern and ancient. In the latter class
Is the famous Venus Of Milo, 80 much
admired by artists. This work was done
very early, and the statue was exhumed
near Nailo, and IL considered one Of the
finest specimens Of Greek sculpture.
There is indeed something remarkable
about the face Of this statue. 1t Is the
most natural and litelike OF anything in
this line I have ever seen. II is totally
devoid Of that rigid, fixed expression so
hard to overcome by sculptors. On the
the contrary, the expression is very
sweet, soft and tender. Look at II from
whatever position you may choose, and
you get the same gentle, lifelike express.

never been found, and various opinions
have been expressed by artists as to the
position OF these members. 1t does not
take connoisseur to recognize the su-
perior merit Of this famous antique spec
linen OF Greek art. In the modern de.
partments are some very fine specimens
OF the French school, both in painting
and sculpture. Many artists visit these
galleries to study modern art. 1t is
doubtless good place to get the artists
latest ideas, but II you desire to learn
the dressmaker's trade, don't come to
the art galleries. Artists, especially OF
the French school, don't take much
stock in the dressmaker's business. 1t
takes up all their time in making pic
lures, and they leave the dressmaking to
Worth, or some other reliable firm. Ar.
fists are not monopolists Of any kind,
and believe in doing one thing at time.
They also have great faith in Nature,

He states he does not publish the tables

The Church democrats colonizsd the
Minnehaha county convention yesterday
and elected Ohurch democrats to the
Watertown convention. 1t was o mass
convention, convened on t.e days
notice, without publication and very
few democrats excepting those in secret
knew the meeting was to be held. At
the proper moment fifty railroad work.
men held conveniently near were run
into the convention and took possession
of it. Reputable citizens OF Sioux Falls,
regardless ofpolitics, denounce the pro-
ceedings as "disgraceful and damn.
able outrage" But the Church strikers
carried their point and the "damnable
outrage" part OF the transaction rests
lightly on their consciences. 1t looks
as though the men whom the taxpayers
OF Dakota ere paying to work for Church
were gc,ng to make a clean sweep oi
the Watertown convention.

the formal call for the republican con-
vention at Jane town TO elect delegates

mlttee at its recent meeting at Aber-
deem. One delegate in the Jamestown
convention is allowed d for each two hun
dred votes, or maior factor thereof at
the congressional election OF 1886 for
both the candidates. This gives to the
north 1913 delegates and to the south
329 delegates. The central Dakota
counties, SO called (the northern por-
tion of southern Dakota) have en- sggre-
gate of N votes in the convention. The
