Richardson's exit is described in his mar.
ratiyc as follows;
"A lew minutes later, taking box filed
with bottles in which the medicines were
usually brought, and giving it TO lad
who assisted me in my hospital duties, |
started to follow them. AS if in great
haste we walked rapidly toward the fence.
When we reached the gate | took the box
from the boy and said 60 him, Of course for
the benefit Of the sentinel:
90 am going outside to get these bottles
| filled. | shall be back in fifteen minutes,
and want you to remain right here to take
them and distribute them among the hos
| pitfalls. Do not 60 away now

| piled, Yes, SIR and | attempted to pass
the sentinel by mere assurance.
/ The sentinel stopped me with his musket,
| demanding:
"'Ilave you "A pass, sirY

all the indignation l could assume. Have
you not seen it often enough to know it by
this time?
apparently a little dumfounded, he re-
/ piled mOdcstly:
"Probably | have; but they are strict
with us and am not quite sure.'"
The sentinel examined the document,
which was all right in Brownies hands
but all wrong in Richardson's But he did
not know the difference, and told Richard
son to pass on. Once outside Richardson
met several Confederate officials who knew
him and knew that he was out Of his place
but the "pcculiarly honest and business
like look Of that medicine boN' threw them
Off their guard. Instead Of entering the
dispensary Richardson hid his box and
slipped under "a convenient shelter. Al
dark his friends joined him, and the three
passed the outer guard without difficulty

The slave led them TO the railroad fror
which they had strayed, and a long wal
took them near TO village. In avoidn
this they lost their way and walked twclv

a friend indeed, who loaned the party
mules to ride and guided them five miles
10 the home Of a strong Union man.
On the morning Of the seventh day they
found that they had made fifty miles Of
their direct journey. Their next chance
friend WAS woman whose acquaintance
Richardson made by tapping at the door

she betrayed her sympathy with the Union
cause Richardson told his errand, re
ceiving the cheerful salutatlon:
"If you are Yankees all | have TO say is
that YOU have come exactly TO the right

Aftsrward she said to Richardson: You
were the first Yankee ! ever saw. The

PORTRAIT OF ALBERT D. RICHARDSON.
After spending ten months in the Sails
bury prison, Richardson and his two com
panions determined TO take heavy risks to
get out and make their way to the mount
aims Of East Tennessee. The outlook, &C
cording TO the statistics Of escapes during
their experiences in that prison, was not at
all promising. Out OF seventy prisoners that
had passed tia guard but five had reached
ms<iorth. The others bad been retaken
or had been shot in the mountains. BY ex-
traordnary good luck the trio passed the
guards on the night Of Dec. II, 1864 ~
the time all three were on duty in the hos
pital. aud Davis and Browne held passes
permitting them to go outside the first line
of sentinels to Confederate dispensary for
supplies. This privilege had been enjoyed
30 long that they were allowed 70 go on
sight. The night OF the escape Browne
loaned his pass to Richardson, and with
Davis walked ooolly out TO the dispensary.

New York and the National Convention.
Chicago does not propose TO demand
that the two national conventions snasi
meet in thst city next year. She win in
yite them both, but win not pursue the
committeeman as she did the members OF
Congress when the question Of tho location
of the Columbian Worlds Fair was under
discussion.
THIS is considerate and viii in no wise
injure her prospects Of cosxing Congress
70 vote the large sums OF money sne 90
much needs to make the exhibition sue
cess.
As for the National Democratic Conven-
ton, the claims Of New York VIII be hard
| 10 set aside II, in addition TO all the hospi-
tally that that great metropolis can guar
antee, her representatives can assure the
National Committee that her Democratic
people will be unit for the nominee no
matter who he is.
New York Is 30 large and prosperous that
often-too ofton-she disdains TO cap
turen conventions or expositions. though
| TO do SO would require less effort than any
of her competitors have TO make.
Now we observe that plans are being
laid to secure tor her the two national
conventions. She has the greatest hall
(Afadison-Square Garden) in this country
and hotels without number, and what IS
more. the people like to 90 TO New York.
In 1898 all Of us will wish to visit Chicago,
and many having gone that distance WIZ
extend their trips farther westward. 30
the opportunity is favorable for New YORK.
and il the indications are that our party
will be as well united there In 1892 az IL
was in the recent campaign, the general
disposition will be to vote New York the
honor of the Democratic Convention. IL,
however, factionAl fights are TO prevail,
and delegates are TO be pulled around ana
tugged at by Tammany and anti-Tammany
committees, it is the last place In the
United States we would wish to have Sc
lected as the place of meeting
The fact that Chicago is on everybody's
visiting list for 1893 will no doubt also in
cline the Republicans to adopt some other
city ns place of meeting. lndianapolisis
90 close to Chicago that it is liable some
what to the same objection, but. on the
other hand, both parties are eager TO
court the vote of Indiana and maybe that
consideration will outweigh all others
San Francisco ia going to offer a big
bait. II will undertake to pay the railroad
fare of all the delegations (and some ac-
counts say the hotel bills, too), and GER
tainly the temptation Is & great one, as a
trip TO the Pacific Coast is usually costlier
than one to Europe; but for majority of
delegates it means greater loss OF time
than they can well afford.

Whose Victory Was Il 2

The DESPATCH is the subject of several
would-be witty articles in our exchanges.
Here is specimen. 1t is from Mr.. YosT's
VALLEY VirginIdn;
"a funny freak in the after-scene Of the cleo
ton on the Sd was large-sized rooster display
ed IN the columns Of the DISPATCH over the
splendid Democratic victory In Virginia. II was
victory won without An opposing force. SINH
lar decisions we're announced In all the papers
outside Of Virginia through the telegraph OF
democratic gains In Virginia. when really
scarcely anything but simon-pure Democrats
and Alliance-D Democrats were mentioned In the
canvass
ut was famous victory" as young
WnHELmISK's grandfather said to him. II
there was mo opposing force" what had
become of the YosTs. the LEwIsEs, the
PARsoNsEs, and the rest of the genuine
Republicans who assembled in convention
in Roanoke and called upon the Republic
can hosts to rally wherever they saw an
enemy not too dangerous?
Another paragraph in the Valley Vtrgfntan
asserts that the DISPATCH is beating
aroundn on the silver question, when the
fact is that the DISPATCH has never occu-
pied any other ground than that which 1t
occupies to-day. Weare notfoolish enough
to insist upon free coinage in the face OF
the condition of public opinion on the sill
yer question disclosed by thelesults of the
recent elections. As well charge us with
inconsistency In advocating the RIDDLE
BERGER settlement of the public debt OF
the State as with Inconsistency because we
do not arraign the Democratic monome-
tallists as enemies of the Democratic party.
However, no man knows what day may
bring forth. The demand for a universal
currency may result in satisfactory solu-
ton of the silver problem. But it is none OF
our duty tomake creed for the Democratic
party. We are calm and cool. but we can
foretell an exhausting discussion OF the
silver question in the Congress about to
assemble. What will result we know not
but at any rate it will be decision which,
unlike any we might render, would be
binding upon somebody.

The Herald states that not only is
Croton Lake lower than 1t ever has been,
but that all the reservoirs above it are low ;
that some of them are completely eI-
hausted, and that many of the streams
which flow into them are dry. Practically,
therefore, the water which New York is
using is that which is drawn from sup
ply that is not being replaced.
The World has offered to pay all OF the
expenses of General r. G. DYRESFURTH il
he will 60 to the Croton watershed and
endeavor to produce rain by his aeriel ex-
plosiyes. These terms the General has
accepted, but he tears that week or ten
days will be required to prepare for the

balloons. and no has only FIVE or SIX; the
others must be made to order.
The expenses will approximate 5000.
