ment, says that the total receipts since

RUSHING FOR LIBERTY.

A pot for the escape of four hundred
convicts at Pratt Mines, Ala, was dis
covered several days ago, but the prison
officials kept the matter SO quiet that the
falts only leaked out on Wednesday. At
slope No. /, about four of the seven hun
dred convicts are confined, and there is
only one entrance into the mine at that
place. 1t seems that one of the veins or
leads at this slope has been worked until
it was within few hundred feet of the
surface ON the other side of the mountain.
Some of the older convicts some time ago
conceived a plan to dig out of the mine.
Others were let into the plot, and the
convicts would work turns on their tun-
mel after completing their days task of
mining. The number into the plot was
increased, until nearly all of the four
hundred convicts working in the slope
knew about it, and aided in the work.
Saturday, it. is said, was the day set
apart to force the tunnel through the
mountain and escape. After all the CON
vlcts had entered the slope that morning,
the entrance was blocked on the inside,
and then they began to dig for liberty,
the tunnel lacking only few feet Of
completion, but the plot had been be-
trayed, and the guards were on the look
out. The obstruction at the mouth of
the slope was removed and the convicts
were driven away from their tunnel, and
forced to return to work. The ring
leaders were punished, and every pre-
caution has been taxed to prevent an es-
cape by the tunnel route. Only three
months ago five convicts escaped from
Coalburg mines, by the same means, and
only two of them were recaptured.

"Smeit Like a Bar-Room.'

The young woman who determined to
shame her husband by taking to tip
ping, says Meals State Gazette, began
operations on Wednesday by setting out
an exceedingly vulgar, red-labeled bot
tie on the back parlor table in the most
unostentatiOus way. About the hour
her husband was expected home she
took good gulp Of the liquor, and when
she heard what she supposed to be his
footsteps on the stoop she drank an
other finger of it, and, putting some
more in her hands rubbed it over her
lips. Then she fed up to her room to
wait for him. She was intensely graft
fed by the consciousness that, as she
expressed it, she ''smelt like a bar
ROOM"
To her surprise the door-bell rang and
she went to the head of the stairs and
peered over the rail to see who had
come in place of her husband. It was
her mother, her father, and a cousin or
two from the country. The old lady
spled her and there was nothing to do
but to come straight down and kiss and
be kissed all round She was mortified
for her parents are very straight-laced
plous folks, and could not help but
smell the gin with which she bad per-
fumed herself so literally. Worse still,
while she was assisting her father to rid
himself of his oyercoat the rest of the
party filed solemnly into the presence of
the red-labeled bottle in the back room.
Nothing was said about the odor of the
bottle and she was too proud to try to
explain what looked so badly for her.
She told her husband, however, and
he was so impolite as to throw himself
on the bed IN convulsions of laughter.
She was so angry that she threatened TO
leave him. you can't, said the mon
ster; your folks would not receive
you. The most they would do would
be TO put you IN the inebriate asylum"

Latcadio Hearn, in Hsrpers Magazine
We anchor in limpid blue water; the
cannon-shot is answered by a pro-
longed thunder-clapping Of mountain
echoes. Then from the shore strange
flotilla bears down upon US. There is
one boat, two or three canoes; but the
bulk of the craft are simply white
wooden irames-flat bottOmed struct-
ures made from shipping cases or lard
pOXeS with triangular ends. In all of
these sit naked boys-boys between ten
and fourteen years Of age-varying in
color from a fine clear yellow 10 deep
reddish-broWn or chocolate tint. They
row with two little square flat pieces of
wood for paddles, clutched in each
hand, and these lid-shaped things are
dipped INTO the water on either side
with absolute precision, in perfect time,
all the pairs of little naked aims seem
ing moved by 4 single impulse. There
IS much unconscious grace in this pad
ding, as well as consummate skill.
Then all about the ships these ridicu-
lous little boats begin to describe cir
cles, crossing and intercrossng so close
iy as almost bring them into collision,
yet never touching. The boys have
simply come out to dive for coins they
expect passengers to fling at them. All

screaming shrilly; every eye, quick and
bright as a birds, watches the faces of
the passengers on deck. "'Tention-
la u shrek a dozen soprano; some pas
senger's hand has descended into a
money pocket, and ali are on the alert.
Through the air, twirling and glittering,
tumbles an English shilling, and drops
into the deep water beyond the little
fleet. Instantly all the lads leap, scram-
BILE, topple head-foremost, out of their
little tubs, and dive in pursuit. In the
blue water their 1.-THE figures look per-
fectly red, all but the soles of their up
turned feet, which show quite white !;
Almost Immediately they all rise again
one holds up at arms length above the
water the recovered coin, and then puts
it into Eis mouth for safe keeping.
Coin after coin is thrown in, and as
speedily brought up; shower Of small
silver follows, and not piece is lost
These lads move through the water
without apparent effort, with the sup
pleness of fishes. Most decidedly fine
looking boys, with admirably rounded
limbs, delicately formed eXtremities.
The best diver and swiltest swimmer,
however, is a lemon-colored lad; his
face is rather commonplace, but his
slim figure has the fluent grace of an
antiaue hronZn
