NO one OF the rev peOple WHO DdSSeu
the strapping negro girl, whose face
was hidden within the blue check sun
bonnet, dreamed that Union soldier
was passing; that the scaffold WAS being
cheated; that a messenger with the Sc
cret of one of the most important moves
any Confederate general had made or
was destined TO make during the war
was on his way north in the person OF
the negro woman hurrying on toward
the river. And it was fortunate for tue
flying soldier they did not, or he woul,:
never even have sot half a mile frori
the Jail.
He sped onward. running and walking
briskly alternately. till he came to d
place where board fence was capped
by narrow strip. He mounted it and
walked as far as the fence extended,
perhaps hundred yards, hoping by this
means to throw the dogs off the scent
for few minutes, and thus gain little
time. Then he jumped down and hur-
ried forward. A man passed and called
to him, but he paid no attention to the
call, and the man stood looking after
him, doubtless suspecting that the girl
was runaway slave.
At last the grateful sight of the river
met his gaze. 1t cheered him and
seemed to beckon him on to rest upon
its bosom, or, as an alternative with the
dreadful tragedy of the morning, to find
oblivion beneath its surface. Between
the river before him, and the Jail, the
dogs and the gibbet, for time his feel
ings of hope and fear neutralized each
other and left his faculties free to acl
with perfect cooiness.
| He stood for q moment beneath low
clump of trees ON the bank listening
and looking up and down the river. A
boat was passing, and he felt it necessar,
to wait for it to 60 by. He lost fivt
minutes, but it seemed half an hour

BEAR LcOsE.-The circus gave
little street parade yesterday that was
not down on the program. The bears
were taken from their cages and
chained to stakes while the artists were
painting and decorating their homes.
An old black bear got a scent of blood
that had been strewn around by the
meat commississary, broke his chain
and went on the warpath. Seizing a
cinnamon cub he crushed him to death
on thespot. Then heading procession
OF showmen armed with clubs and
ropes, which crowd was augmented by
all observers, he headed toward the
state prison. Bruin would dash at his
tantalizing pursuers but some one
would pelt him blow with club from
behind who in turn would be chased
till another would divert the irate bears
mind with q blow. This was kept up
till he was brought TO bay In Mr.. Pat
terson's barn on State street where
bruin was lassoed and returned to his
marrow house.

metropolis, to adorn the bench of State
and Federal courts, and crystallize into en-
durisg law the wisdom he gained in his
country practice and life, by the study of
those books which God made-the minds,
thoughts, the aspirations, feelings of his
fellow men with whom he was so long and
so closely in touch during his years as a
country lawyer.
Life may not bring to him as many
golden sheaves as to his metropolitan
brother, but if the intellectual part Of man
survives, and we believe it does, he brings
to him that which he can take with him
when Charon comes to ferry him over,
whereas the golden sheaves, so laboriously
gathered, must be left behind in eternal
quarantine, as infected baggage, while he
leaves to the generations that are to follow
the legacy of jurisdiction enriched by
him, for the protection Of the life, liberty
and property of man.
