 from the Country.


 from the Country.
 Recently saw in Southern paper a highly-colorcd and sensational account of the narrow escape and flight of General John c. Breckenridge and Hon. Judah P. Benjamin in their nasty trip through Florida i'll April 1865, writes a correspond. ent of tho Philadelphia Times. Their fear full races and concealment to elude capture, apprehensive of recognition, dangers en- countered, deprivations and pcrils cxperi- enced, were all glowingly portrayed. In the summer of 1875 I met General Breck- enridge in Richmond, and one Sunday afternoon we were sitting alone in front of the Ballard Hotel 1 said that, if not un- pleasant, it would be gratifying to have him give an account of his escape and how it occurred that MT. Benjamin was separated from him. He replied that he would cheer fully do so, and said that after following Mir. Davis sor,c distance on the retreat he became satisfied that MT. Davis had se- lected the most dangerous route, and to continue under his guidance, which he per sisted in, capture would be certain and inevitable. I decided to pursue different course, and taking with mo some trusty men and as few as possible, left MT. Davis and his escort and struck off for the Florida coast. Soon afttrward Mr. Davis, as predicted, was captured. l met with some soldiers of tho Federal army. They did not recognize me, and nothing special ly occurred to cause mo to apprehend my arrest or safety. passed squad of them in gallop, but no demonstration was made against me, nor did they seem to be awsro who I was" He said: "Hav- ing been accustomed fn early life to hunt and travel in the night in Kentucky, re- called the experience of my youth and adapted myself to change of circumstances, travelling incognito and with Q few faithful and fearless fellows. In 8 short time, with nothing specially perilous during the jour- ney, we reached the coast in safety. We then procured small boat and supply of provisions, which were easily obtained, as Twas supplied with some gold, and with a small pocket compass which I always car ried with me, aud with J. Taylor Wood and two others In an open boat we started for the coast of Cuba. In two days and three nights of the most delightful and propitious weather we landed within one mile of the island, our only guide being my pocket compass. Captain Wood fell overheard dur ing the voyage, but was soon hauled in, and was not the least disconcerted or alarmed. He was one of the bravest of men. After reaching Cuba found friends and accom- modstions. remained there a brief time, and then went to Paris and back eventually to Canada. The rest you arc no doubt ia miliar with"
 "Where is Mir. BenjaminP' asked.
 "He remained with me only aN day after leaving MT. Davis. He was a remarkable man; could adapt himself to any society or circumstances; could speak French, Ger man and other languages flueutly. He travelled through the country as Jewish merchant, and sailed from Charleston, so have learned" made a memorandum of this conversa- tion at the time, and this is verbatim re- port. -..

THE WHITECHAPEL MURDERER.
Detectives of London Newspaper Office,
 Looking for 'Jack the Ripper"

Detectives of London Newspaper Offices
 Looking for ''Jack the Ripper"
 LONDON, Sept. 16.-In spite of all probabilities the belief obtains among the lower classes, as well as in the minds of many others. that the mutil- ated body found ill the Cable street archway must be added to the list of Jack tho Ripper's" victims. Certain London and provincial journals have district for months past in hopes of dis covering the fendish murderer who has added a distinctive namc and method to the history of tho crime, but notwithstanding their watching night after night their efforts have as yet been of no avail.
 Each one of them has different theory, and, if the wretch Is finally caught or definitely ceases his murder ous work, the story of their labors, their suspicious and their baffled hopes would be really interesting reading. If they could be induced to put aside wounded vanity and relate their true
 The police deteSt these amateur de- tectives, refuse them any information and throw every obstacle in their way. Their most haunting fear Is that these impertinent intruders upon their sphere of action may roally discover something, with. the obvious result of covering them with discontinue, de- preciating their reputation below even It's present status and making their stupidity jest and byword. They al- ready bear the press no good will on account of the sarcastic remarks lav- ished upon their lack of shrewedness and energy, and here are, unfortu- nately, no signs of better under standing
 The dailies appear to agree that the last case does not look liko Jack the Ripper's'' handiwork, and they might even go further and say that thexe Is no evidence of murder having taken place at all. An anatomist might have desired some portions of the body and got rid of the rest in tho easiest manner possible.
 Of course, the prophets, fortune tell CTS and mind readers" are reminding their little circles of admirers that they foretold another murder some time since, and some of the believers in this class of frauds have rushed into print with their sudden awakened recollec- tions of such prognostications.
