Tho story ofNfr. OsBrfen,s Escape
 From the St. James's Gazette.

From the St. James's Gazette.
 A correspondent in Dublin who was at
 Oarrick-on-Suir on Friday had an interview
 with one of the young men who assisted MT.
 William O'Brien to elude the police and get
 away from the town. He gives the following
 account of the interview:
 "The young man said that while the gallery
 was being cleared MT. O'Brien rose from his
 seat quickly and got mixed up with the peo-
 pie who were being put out of court; and
 that when MT. Bodkin, resident magistrate, called on the police to detain MT. OBrien, Sergeant Brophy made 8 rush and caught the honorable gentleman by the throat. As he did so two young men or powerful build crushed themselves between the Sergeant and and his captive with such force as to sepa- rate them, the Sergeant taking away in his hand MT. O'Brien's necktie and collar. Mir. O'Brien was thus left free at the courthouse door just at the moment the police outside the court house got orders to disI erse the crowd, which they did. MT. OBrien, in the darkness, got mixed up in the crowd, and ran with it. My informant, who had follow ed MT. O'Brien, whispered to the honorable member to follow him, which he confdingly did, and, running quickly by the end of the convent, eighty yards distant, they dashed up narrow dark lane by the side ot the chapel to respectable house on back street; They whispered to the people, MT. OBrien, as they stiil ran. All right, sir, was the re- ply. .,u .nrn. tsIn few seconds, unobserved, they turn- turn ea into Miss O'Neill's bakery premises in Will liam Street.

ably with the best imported.
 Much interest has been created in France by the novel form and operation of an elec- tric clock, recently introduced, the peculiari- ty in the construction of which consists in the presence of two kinds of batteries, one a wet zinc~iron element. The former consists of an iron bottle five and one-haH inches high by three and one-half inches diameter, which forms one electrode; the other cleo trode is zinc rod passing through an india rubber stopper into the interior of the bottle, this being filled with caustic, potash and oxide of mercury. There is no diaphragm and the zinc is gradually consumed, while the oxide of mercury is reduced; the c. m. f. is 13 volts. and the internal resistance only g of an ohm. These clocks receive an inn pulse forty times minute, and exhibit no weakening of the power either in the dry or the wet cell. An easy calculation will show the interesting fact that the total number of electrical impulses exceeds twenty-one mil lion per annum-certainly a most severe du- ty for any battery.

WISHING Her MOTHER JoY.-At her
mothers marriage Mrs. Cleveland wore a
white surah silk, dotted with black stars
and trimmed on the front with pink satin.
At her throat was a cardinal rose. Her
brown hair was done la pompadour in
front, as her best pictures show her. Mrs.
Folsom wore gray travelling dress of Hen
rietta cloth, and her silvery hair wrs arrang-
ed, like her daughters. After Mr.. Perrine
had saluted bis bride Mrs. Cleveland kissed
her on the cheek. She left tear upon it
when she did so. Mrs. Folsom looked at
her daughter a moment, then, wiping the
tear away, took Mrs. Clevsland's hand and
said:
"Frances, wish me joy, dear"
81 do. dear mother; you know l do"
said Mrs. Cleveland, and then she kissed
her mother again. This time there was no
tear-stain. Mrs. Cleveland did not kiss her
new father: she shook his hand. When the
welded pair passed out Mrs. Cleveland toss
ed two slippers after them, and scattered a
handful of rice.

Suicides and rapes.

There seems to be an epidemic of suicides
on the part of the whites and of rapes on
that of the negroes. For some time, these
crimes have been of almost daily occur
renee. In reference to the frequent out
RACES on white women and children by me-
groes, the Petersburg Iader-Appeal ad-
dresses words of counsel to the colored peo-
pie which they would be wise to heed.
From its article we quote the following
''The increasing frequency of brutal out
RACES ON white women and girls by negro
men is not only blot on the good name of
the negro race, but it is a matter thab calls
for the most serious thought and action On
the part of respectable colored people ev-
erywhere. It is not enough that they con-
denim the crime and even approve the H.
Fiction of death upon the criminal. They
owe it to themselves, as well as to the COM
munity Of they which aspire to be part, to
organize for repressive action against this
most horrible of all human crimes. 1t
would be unjust, of course, to hold the en-
tire colored race responsible for the Sins of
these misereants, or to say that the crime
is confined to the negro race. but the fact
that an overwhelming majority of such
diC al uCo uloob OOSOubiJ
against the state of moral training in which
many of them are reared, and they cannot
afford to be silent or inactive. We would
not counsel resort to lynch law, for we can
conceive of no justification of such resort
in an organized and civilized community,
but it would be better for the good name
and fair fame of the race, as a whole. if they
took npon themselves the responsibility of
choking the life out of some of these
scrouudrels rathar than remain passive in
the presence of form Of crime calculated
as no other crime is to incense white peo-
pie against them, and to arouse and infame
race feelings and prejndices. The crime is
all the moe exasperating because the perpe-
traitors are generally men who never felt
the degrading yoke of slavery, but who
were born free and had access to the ad-
vantages of liberalizing and humanizlng
system of public education"
In reference to this crime that paper
might have added, that the "liberalizing
and humanizing system of education" has
done no good, for those who "felt the de-
grading yoke of slavery" seldom commit
ted that worst of all crimes.

A Duel.

Three or four days ago party of three
men from Boston were reading an article
which appeared in one of the Norfolk pa
pers not very long while ago, and dis
cussion arose over the article. As result
of the discussion one of the men made re-
mark about the women of this section OF
the State which was anything but compli-
mentary. The remark was overheard by
an old gentleman who resides in this vi
cinity, and though he was cautioned not to
take any notice of the remark, he at once
did so. He approached the party and STEP
ping alongside of the one who had made
the remard he said: 81 heard your CONVEX
sation just now, and l pronounce every
word of it lie of the deepest dye, and no
gentleman would utter such words" The
party who had made the remarks about our
women said, 'The cap fits" The old gen
tleman replied, "You are liar" The per-
son addressed then struck the old gentle
man with a stick. The old gentleman
then said, "You are young man and
am old enough to be your father; now, if
you call yourself gentleman (Which l
don't, and belittle myself by making you
this proposition) equalise the difference
between us as to physical strength and go
with me short distance and we will settle

paused for moment and the old gentleman
said: 81 demand it of you, and if you refuse
will shoot you down as would dog."-
The friends of the man from Boston ad
vised him to go, and after procuring two
Colts 1evolvers the party started up the
road. They went about two miles and
came to spot which it was thought would
suit their purpose. Both parties were ac-
companied by two friends and the neces-
sary arrangements were soon made. Six
PAGES were chosen as the distance and the
principals took their positions. The word
was given and both fired. The Boston
man fell at the first fire, shot in the left
breast, but the Virginia champion was I'M
touched. He walked up to the PROSTATE
man and asked him if he wanted to repeat,
and was answered in the negative. The
old gentleman then said, "You will have
to, or take back what you have said." The
wounded man did so, and the party then
dispersed, but not before, as parting
shot, the old gentleman said: "Let this be
lesson to you, and mind in the future
how you talk in the presence of an old Vir-
ginia gentleman of the daughters of old
Virginia. "-Norfolk Landmarks.
