Bishop Henry G.. Potter of New
York reached home the other day on
the Germanic and among his effects
were two cases Of rare old Scotch
Whiskey presented by an admirer on
the other side. The whiskey was duly
appraised and the bishop was required
to pay so for the privilege of bringing
his gift in with him. 1t would appear
from this that under the DingIey law
it is cheaper to drink the Scotch whis-
key in Europe.

The new system of pressing cotton in

be a great success. A number of new

success many more will be constructed

AT SEA In A COFFIN.
A C0YvICT'S QUEER ATTEMPT TO
ESCAPE.
Escorted by Sharks, He Paddles His
SepUlchraI Canoe. Captured
$50 Miles from land.

BV MITES IRON AGhNs
Some curious details Of the life of the
French convicts at Cayenne, Guyane and
the atety Islands are given by NJ. Paul
Mimaude in a volume which he has
just published in Paris, entitled Gore
cats ct Proscrits." After describing all
the most famous criminals at present in
she penal colonies, the author deals with
marvellous escapes and attempts to es-
cape.
Perhaps the most remarkable of them
all is that of the assassin Lupi, who went
to sea in coffin lie managed to get
some tar, nails and cotton, and one dark
night he got into the coffin shed. He Sc
lected fine, staunch and seaworthy cot
lin, fastened the lid, in order to turn it
into deck, leaving a cockpit sufficient
TO enable INN to crawl in. He calked all
the joints as well as he could, and when
this work was finished he made a pair OF
paddles out of two planks. Then he
brought out his craft with great precau-
ton. Without much difficulty he reach
ed the waters edge. There he launched
his bark and crawled on board. Assisted
by the tide he padded his sepulchral
craft. Silently and slowly he proceeded
in the hope of reaching either Venezuela
or British Guiana.
Now, $50 miles in a nautical coffin did
not constitute very tempting enterprise,
but Lupi was full of confidence. At the
penitentiary it was soon discovered that
he was missing. No boat had been taken
away. The boats are always well guard
ed, and nobody ever dreamed for a mo-
ment that any man would 60 to sea in a
coffin. 1t was thought that he had eth
er committed suicide or concealed him
self somewhere near by.
Fortunately or unfortunately, for Lupi
the ste amer Abeilie, returning from the
Antilles, off Pernamaribo, came close to
him. The captain noticed an object that
looked like piece of wreokage around
which flock Of seagulls were circling
and screaming. Naturally that excited
his attention. He steered the boat in the
direction of the object. As he came close
to it his curiosity was increased. The
thing which at frs he took to be a piece
OF wreckage turned out to be coffin.

selfin the senate should be made to RI
val the onein which the presidency was
involved. 1t is estimated that the
campaign will costs 2,000,0 900, and about
fifty men with national reputation
have been engaged to stump the state
IN his interest. 1t has even been as
serted that the president himself will
make tour Of the state in behalf of
the man to whom, it may be said, he
owes his position. Hanna's election is
of no Importance to any considerable
portion of the people even in his own
state, and yet he practically pur-
poses buying his way back into the
senate.

The full intensity Of living is reached
only by the perfectly healthy. Sickness
discounts the capacity for enjoyment. If
his body is all out of order and rundown
he will not be able to enjoy anything, no
matter how full of enjoyment it may be
for other people. If he's just a little bit
out Of order, if he 'is not sick but does
not feel just right, he will only be able
to enjoy things in half-hearted sort of

fectly well the nearer will his capacity
for enjoyment be perfect. If this condi-

Mobile Register;
The white people of Mississippi can di-
vide politically without fear Of the negro
element becoming dominant in politics.
Yet, according 10 the Natchez Democrat,
the democrats of that state are awakening
to the senselessness Of nterjecting the
free silver issne into state politics. On
this point the Natchez Democrat says:
The belief appears to he growing
amongst many of the Mississippi papers
that the proposition for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver will not DO an
issue in the next state campaign. but that
the battle will be fought upon other and
more important Ito our commonwealth
lines
This growing belief will become GER
tainty if the leading democrats of the
state will only get together and decide to
run tho next campaign ON purely state is
sues. The division Of the democratic
party in Mississippi, as well as in Alaba-
ma, on the free silver issue can be pro-
dnctive of no good to the state and may
result In much harm.
