Youthful Curiosity.

A good story concerning James Russell
Lowell, which has never seen the light of
print, comes to us. Professor Royce of
Harvard college has a son, Theodore, who
has all sthe "hall marks" of genius Theo-
dore is not yet old enough to have made
known whether he will be a genius or not,
but the peculiarities Of that tribe are his.
One day the boy who was then about 8
years old, was watering the lawn in front
of his fathers house in Cambridge just as
James Russell Lowell happened to pass by
on his way to Professor Norton's, little
farther along. The boy turned the hose
on Mr.. Lowell, and despite his expustula-
tions drenched him from head to foot, so
that he had to go to Professor James
house near by and get an entire change Of
clothing. When Professor Royce heard
of this, he was naturally very indignant
and took Theodore severely to task. II
don't see how you could have done 1t,
Theodore. What reason was there In do
ing such thing as that9" he said.
Theodore looked gravely at his father
and said: There was every reason in the
world. was extremely desirous of know
ing how poet would behave under such
circumstances. New York Commercial

Mistook the signal.

A we'll known engineer on Texas rail-
road, who has slight impedient in his
speech, had an interview one day with his
division superintendent, the nature of
which gradually leaked out and became a
source of considerable fun for the boys
The story goes that on a recent run his en-
gine had collision with COW, resulting
disastrously to the animal in question. By
rule of the railroad company such acci-
dents must be reported by the engineer
and conductor In writing, and for some
reason the engineer forgot his duty ON this
occasion until he was summoned before
the railroad magnate for private investiga-
ton
M" said the superintendent,
"how is it that you failed to report the
killing of COW on your run Of such a
dateS'
~ d-d-d-don't remember any s-s-such
accident" replied the knight Of the foot
board, scratching his head thoughtfully.
well, you certainly must have killed q
COW on that rup, for 1t was reported In
due form by the conductor" insisted the
superintendent.
"N-n-n-no, d-d-didn't, " said the engi-
neer.
Now, just think little and see If you
can't remember 1t, said the persistent in
terrogator.
"No; c-ci ci-can't remem- m-membeT

his own performance of the part that he
would not rest until all his colleagues had

ED TO THE MORGAN
RAID.
A Survivor and Eye Witness Tells
aStory Which RevOlutiOnizes
History and Proves That
John Morgan Did Not
Have to Dig Out of
Ohio's Peniten-
tiary.

CoLuMBus, O., March 6.-The COL
umbus Dispatch to-day sent repor-
ter to John Radebaugh, on Swan
street, to gain information about the
men who led the horses attached to
the funeral car which carried Lin
coins remains through the streets of
Columbus in route from Washington
to Springfield, Ill. Mr.. Radebaugh at
that time was chief clerk to the Unit
ed States assistant quartermaster, the
late Col. Raymond Burr, located in
this city. Speaking Of various matters
about the war, Mr.. Radebaugh said
he could give the true account of the
escape of Gen. John Morgan and his
13 comrades from the Ohio penitenti-
ary. Being urged to do so, Radebaugh
said Secretary Stanton ordered their
release. Stanton said Morgan was
being kept in felon's prison in viola,
ton of the rules Of war. The Con-
federates were threatening retaliation.
Stanton sent secret order to Govern
or Tod to release Morgan. The
situation was explained to Tod. There
was fear that the public could not be
made to understand the circumstance.
There was intense feeling against
Morgan among the people. Rade-
baugh SAYS:
MORGAN WALKED Our.
"Governor Tod called conference
with Colonel Young, his military Sec
retary, Warden Merton, of the peni-
tentiary, Colonel Burr, the quarter
master, and myself. 1t was decided to
allow Morgan to escape. Meriou was
to manage the escape. We were
pledged to secrecy. Morgan and his
men understood this. They all walk
ed out the front door. Some Of them
were sent in wagon to West Jeffer-
son to take train to Cincinnati. |
myself met John Morgan just outside
the prison, and went with him to the
depot, where he took the train for
Cincinnati. This was about 10 o'clock
at night. That is the true story Of
the escape of Morgan, as l am willing
to swear to it.
II suppose Governor Tod either de-
stroyed the order from Stanton or
concealed it among his personal eff
fects, am the only person living
who took part in the affair"
