There is a clergyman who talks to
the children of his church about the
duty of giving up the vanities Of this
world. and as most of them belong to
the class that does not own winter un-
derclothing this advice seems a little
unnecessary. Last Sunday afternoon
he was. as usual. eXhorting his hearers
to sacrifice things. they did not possess
and to renouuce the famous trio of the
world, the flesh and the devil. Sud-
denly it occurred TO him that perhaps
his language was not clear to the in
FAINT mind. and with a view to finding
out he said: I've been telling YOU of
the pomps and vanities of this life.
Now want to know who can tell me
what pomps are" There was dead si-
lence until boy who lisped put up
his hand and remarked: ~Pleath. thir,

DARING ESCAPE.
Thrilling Account of an Irishman's De-
parturc from Prison.

James STEPHENS. who was head and
front of the tenian brotherhood in Ire
land in 1865 made his escape from
Richmond prison, Dublin. at tre-
meudous risk not only for himself but
for all who were concerned in his
, rescue. says the Y0uth'S Companion.
Two men were chiefly concerned in
the affair, one named Breslin. the hos
pital warden. and the other Byrne, q
night watchman. Breslin procured
an impression of the key which opened
Stephens cell and which always hung
| on nail in the governors safe. He
had to distract the governors atten-
ton, steal the KEY, at the same time
putting another in its place, get the
impression and then return the kew to
its nail.
The time came for making the es-
cape and the few moments were all too
short. 1t was dark night and the
storm howled furiously; most discour-
aging of all, the ladder provided for
scaling the wall proved too short.
This fact seemed to promise absolute
disaster.
The wall was twenty feet high and
Stephens could not possibly reach the
top. Breslin in an agony of haste
brought table from the dining-room
and placed the ladder on it. 1t was
still too short and the prisoner had to
descend again. The rescHers. who
were in as great danger as the prisoner,
grew almost wild with apprehension.
Another table was procured and again
stephens made the ascent. and this
time after desperate struggle sue
ceeded in getting outside the wall.
Once there be had to Jump twenty
feet into the darkness, having no idea
where he should land, or whether it
would be with broken limbs or neck.
He let 90 his hold on the wall and fell,
fortunately striking soft ground.
Meanwhile Byrne and Breslin had
been obliged to return to their duties.
STEPHENS now found himself in a
garden, surrounded by another wall
twenty feet high. Over this wall Bres-
lin had told him to throw a stone as a
signal to eleven armed men who were
waiting outside TO receive him.
Now Il score of other difficulties be-
set him. He could not find the gar
den walls and CROPPED around in vain
tor a stone. Al length he reached the
wall and threw over a handful of
gravel, whercupon a rope with a
weight attached was tossed over to
him. He quickly climbed the wall and
soon found himself in the arms of his
joyful body-guard, who conducted him
to a house within sight of the Jail, where
he remained fourteen days.
He afterward went to fashionable
boarding-house in the finest part of
Dublin and spent two months. and
finally, when the hue and cry for his
capture had somewhct subsidized, took
ship from Ireland forever.
He now lives in a humble garret in
Paris, broken in fortune, health and
hope, and brooding constantly over

How Midshipman Jones Ready Wit dos
Him Out of Serious Trouble.

On board of a man-of-war bound
home from China was young mid
shipman named Jones, says the Detroit
Free Press. He was a favorite with
the officers and had in him the talent
for the making of fine officer. The
midshipmen on board stood their
watch forward, and every hour it was
their duty to come aft and write up
the weather columns of the ships log,
showing the readings of the barometer
and thermometer and to have the chip
log for her speed. The captain, in
company with the officer of the deck,
was walking the weather side of the
poop deck conversing when Midship-
man Jones came aft to write up the
log. The barometer, a mercurial one,
was hung in the captains cabin, and
Jones, after having read it, helped
himself literally to the captains sher-
rv on the cabin sideboard. In walking
the poop the captain happened to
glance down the cabin skylight and
saw the midshipman's proceedings.
When Jones came up on the poop to
heave the loo the captain addressed
him as follows:
How is the barometer, sir?"
Jones saluted and said, steadily
rising, sir; steadily rising"
The captain then asked, And how is
the decanter, sir?"
Jones was taken aback. but with a
steady voice replied; steadily failing,
sir: steadily falling"
This reply was too much for the
captain, and, bursting out laughing, he
said:
Young man, your reply has saved
you from punishment; but it is a long
way to Frisco, 50 hereafter | beg Of
YOU not to consult the decanter as often
as YOU do the barometer"

their mutual friends steered them into

for a handicap, and Ashbaugh gave
him five yards. The race took place on
Midway plaisance and was Witnessed
by several hundred people. After sev-
eral Intellectual starts, the two got away
within two or three seconds Of the same
time. Klein developed unexpected
speed and was never headed by his OPP
ponent, who finished ten feet in the
