not to cut any until barn can be
filled with plants Of uniform ripeness,
color and quality. Pu. seven medium
sized plants on stick four-and-a-half
feet long Let the plants 60 from the

hands of the holder. After Icing
filed, the sticks should not touch the
ground for any length of time; in fact,
it is better for them to 60 directly from

about eight inches apart-that is, if the
tobacco is OF medium size.

A Great Scheme
By Which 5000 Mexican
Criminals Would Have
Gained Their Liberty.

ST. Louis, Feb. "a Globe Demo
crat special from the City Of Mexico
says: The three thousand prisoners
in Belem prison would have been
free but tor timely discovery of tun-
mel Patient search for the suspected
outlet was rewarded yesterday by
finding an entrance to the tunnel
close to the school room At depth
of three yards to the right of the tun-
mel, the foundation upon which rests
the walls Of the gallery where the
condemned, 500 in number, are CON
fned, had been cut through The
subterranean passage was thence
continued toward the left some Il
yards, perforatlng the foundations Of
other walls. which are one metre in
thickness and are built of sandstone.
The underground works were still
continued to the left, where some
more foundations equally as thick as
the former were encountered. The
foundations sustained the weight Of
the walls that lodge the hundreds Of
prisoners that are awaiting trial
The skill displayed in the engineer
ing feat, which has fortunately y mis-
carried. is wonderful, and few
months of labor would have placed
the prisoners in communication with
the street This would have released
5000 criminals, as the tunnel had
been planned to pass under the wards
81 the prison so that it could have
been reached by digging few feet
beneath the floors. The prisoners,
under pretense of attending night
school, have been at work on the
great tunnel for portion of two
years, working secretly, in regular
shifts. The conception of the NAM
moth and daring undertaking IS due
to desperate criminal named os <.

death, but who was shot some time
ago. before his elaborate scheme for
the salvation Of himself and comrades
could be put into effect

Declared Unconstitutional.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Feb. 4.-The case
of Rev. w. H. Anderson of this city
against the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad was finished in the United
States Court a; Owensboro to-day. The
jury Oh instructions from Judge Barr
found for the plaintiff 10 one cent aud
assessed the costs of court against the
railroad company. This is a test case
to decide the constifutionality of the
Kentucky separate coach law. which
compels negroes to ride in coaches
apart from white people. This verdict
declares it unconstitutional. Mr..
Anderson sued for $40, 900. The case
will be taken to the Supreme Court cf
the United States.

hundred and fifteen degrees is reached,
It's time to give the tobacco air by
cracking open the door and making
holes as large as mans hand oD each
side Of the barn near the bottom logs;
which treatment will be found to be of
great advantage, as the tobacco will
commence drying off and the tails will
begin to turn up. Continue to increase
the heat at the above rate until ose hun
dfed and tbirty-fve is reached, where
the heat must be kept for twelve hours,
which is the length of tine required to
cure the leaf. Raise the heat now i've
degrees every bour-and-a a-balt until it
gets to Que hundred aud eighty degrees
This heat will in short time cure both
stem aud stalk. As a general rule, by
following these directions, tobacco will
come out of the barn pretty uniform
yellow. To cure it bright, clear yel-

bear until it reaches one hundred and
thirty.6ve degrees.
ORDERING AND HANDLING.
After tobacco is thoroughly cured,
let it coue in order enough to handle

The mystery had been practically solved
The A. Smith who persisted on the burn
ing steamer was Alexander Smith, the
missing depositor.
Having established the identity of the
depositor the next task was to find the
daughter who had so miraculously escaped
the fate which had overtaken her family.
Advertisements were placed in all the
papers, circulars were sent all over the
State, and finally Mr.. Shuck learned that
the real. Jane Smith, or, as she is now,
Mrs. Jane Harvey, had been in CORE
spondence with the bank and was about to
begin proceedings in the courts to get pos
session of the money.
1t was due entirely to Shuck's efforts
that it was made possible for the estate to
reach the hands of its owners, and to be
ignored at the last moment made the at
torney feel hurt. Some testimony was
taken few days ago from Mrs. Harvey,
and she said she had had brother who
did not perish on the burning steamer but
she had no knowledge of his whereabouts
since 1852. Shuck Immediately thought of
the James Smith who had all along been
considered a brother of Alexander Smith,
and the possibility of his being a son sug-
gested itself, and working short time on
that theory was sufficient to prove it.
After Mrs. Harvey appeared in court
Shuck submitted report of his labors to
Judge Slack, and IN his closing paragraphs
he wrote:
My life is nearly all behind me, as betokens
now. This piece of work has been my best. 1t

and the record made.
But now the new heir has appeared, and,
piqued by the slight which he considers has
been put upon him, the attorney has once
more taken up the thread of mystery and
Will follow it up, let it lead where it will.
