MONTGOMERY, January 4.-The State
of Alabama has let out all of its conyicts
on ten year contracts to the Tennessee
Coal, Iron aud Railroad Company.
They number about 600 and the average
price is s19 per month each, which is 50
more than the State has ever before re.
ceived. The convicts will all be worked
in the great Pratt coal mines, near Bir-
mingham. The contractors agree to con-
struct an entirely new prison, in accord.
ance with the best modern plan, as we'll
as school.rooms for the conyicts and
dwellings for the teachers, and to pay
the teachers themselves The Pratt mines
supply coke for nearly all of the hrna-
ces in Alabama, and produce more than
5000 tons per day. This contract for
conyicts is, therefore, regarded as highly
important, since it secures the furnaces
against possible failure to obtain full
supply of coal on account Of strikes, &c.
One of the three State inspectors of con,
victs is required 10 be always at the
prison.

= By the death of Andrew Wright, of
the firm CT w. & ]. Sloane s. Co., of this
city, says New York letter, another
remarkable instance is added to medical
annals. Mr.. Wright died after brief
illness. His death was attributed to
peritonitis, but the end came SO. soon
that his physician made an autopsy and
ascertained that the cause of the disease
was a grape seed which had lodged in
the appendix vermiformis. The small
intestine, to which psychologists have
been puzzled in assigning a place in the
economy of the human system, is q per.
petual menace to life. 1t is undoubtedly
the case that nearly every body who eats
fruit swallows more or less ofthe seeds,
and fortunately resultant harm is the
rare exception and not the rule. But
when it does happen that seed becomes
lodged in the appendix vermiformis
death will almost surely follow, and
there is no way of disclosing the appa-
rently tridiDg cause but an autopsy.

How He Picked up a Possum.

When Hooker's army was worrying
General Lees half.starved confederates,
at Charlottesville, sedgewick's corps
broke the confederate lines at Fredricks.
burg and commenced his travels towards
Charlottesville to help Hooker in
crushing Lee. The Monday following,
General Early struck Sedgwick a crush.
ing blow and hurled him crippled and
bleeding across the river at Banks ford.
When Early's men made the charge,a a
negro, whose young master carried a gun
in the Mississippi regiment, was follow
ing, to take care of him if he should be-
wounded. In consequence of the deep
ravines, over which Early charged, artil.
lery could not we'll follow, and We were
standing beside our smoking guns, when
the nigger came back, his face in broad
grin, with great big knapsack, one or
two fine blankets, and a big Yankee pri.
vate marching in front of him. When

Blaine Losing Ground.

There is strong and visibly growing
under current among the Republican
leaders against the expediency of renom-
mating Blaine against Cleveland for this
years battle, and it is not at all confined
to those who desire to prevent Blaine's
nomination. On the contrary, some of
the sincerest and most devoted friends of
Blaine regard his election as so involved
in doubt that they are unwilling to urge
his selection as the party candidate, and
his recent hasty interview in answer to
the Presidents message is, on the sober
second thought, regarded as most EN-.
barrassing feature of his candidacy. It
has chilled the West and Northwest,
where Blaine has always been much
stronger than in New England outside of
Maine, and it is freely discussed as en-.
dangering Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota, as we'll as Massa.
chusetts and New Hampshire.
Senator Cameron has no Presidential
bee buzzing in his bonnet, but like al!
others, he would be willing to be over.
whelmed with the nomination. During
the last week his name has been more
discussed than that of any of the more
prominent candidates in Washington.
1t is claimed that bis nomination would
be the strongest that could be presented
to appeal to the business interests of the
country; and, also, that he is probably
the only man whose nomination would
recall to the front the Old Guard, with
Conkling at its head. Blaine is confess
edly weak with the commercial, financial
and business interests of the country,
and Cleveland is undeniably stronger
than his party with that important ele
ment. Cameron, it is believed by many,
would give the party the greatest strength
just where the party most needs strength,
and just where Blaine is weakest aud
the growing apprehensious as to Blaine's
availability have made Cameron much
more seriously considered as a possible
candidate than is apparent on the surface

But he beckoned me, and followed, shy,
