In .IniI for neht.

From the Pail Mall Magazine.
The Kings bench was the largest of all
the debtors prisons. 1t formerly stood on
the east side of High street. on the site
of what is now the second street north
of St Georges Church. This prison was
taken down In 1888, and the debtors were
removed to a larger and much more COM
street, south of Liant street.-The site is now
marked by a number of new and very
ugly houses and mean streets. In the year
1776 the prisoners mad to lie two in a bed,
and even for those who could pay there
were not beds enough, and many slept on
The floor of the chapel. There were 1896
prisoners; In addition to the prisoners
many of them had wives and children
with them. There were 279 wives and 275
chilSren-a total of 1899 sleeping every
night In the prison. There was a good
water supply, but there was no inhrmary,
no resident surgeon, and no bath. Imag-
inc a place containing 1899 persons, and
no bath and no infrmaryl Among these
prisoners, about a hundred years ago,
was a certain Col. George Hanger,
who has left his Memoirs" behind him
for the edihcation of posterity. According
to him the prison ''riva.ed the purlieus of
Mapping. St. Giles and St. James in vice,
debauchery and drunkenness" The gem
eral immortality was so great that It was
only possible, he says, TO escape con-
tagion by living separate, or by consorting
only with the few gentlemen of honor who
might be found there. Otherwise a man
will quickly sink into dissipation-he will
lose every sense of honor and dignity,
every moral principle and virtuous dispo-
sltion"

TARANTULA SHEDS ITS SKIN.
Spider Three Inches Long Takes on
Its summer Clothes.
From the Country Gentleman.

From the Country Gentleman.
An event Of more than ordinary interest
occurred in my office yesterday noon. A
large female tarantula shed its skin for
the second time since 1t has been In captiv-
ity.
Those familitr with insects, spiders and
related creatures are aware that they are
ineased by a hard, unyielding integument.
Increase OF size Is permissible only when
the old skin is shed and one that has been
newly formed beneath expands to the
requisite degree. When a large spider
three inches long throws off the old inte-
gument It Is a thrilling sight.
In the present case the tarantula had
evidently been feeIrg unwell for some
days, condition frequently preceding this
process among Insects. and yesterday
morning she was found lying on her back.
and apparently dead, but moved a little
upon being disturbed.
She lay thus until about 1915, when
the rustling of her movements made ex
cited attention The old skin had then
ruptured around the thorax In such a
manner that the top could be removed
entire, and through this opening the giant
spider was literally working out of her
old skin This was accompanied by the
aid of the eight legs and the Two ieglike
palpi.
At the end of an hour the change had
been effected. The spider lay upon her
back beside the perfect skin, resting from
the severe exertion.
This tarantula was unusually large be-
fore she moulted, anG Is now Of still great
er size. She came north in a bunch OF
bananas about two and half years ago.
and until last January was the pet of Or.
J. NJ Bigelow. While under his care one
skin was shed, ana Is now ia my possess
sion.

The Black Diamond K. z.

The directors of the several cor
porations constituting "The Black
Diamond Systems had meeting
at Cynthiana Kentucky on Tuesday,
June 18th, 1898, to hear reports
and take steps to further the enter
prise and its final construction
President Kirkby and MIR. I. Z.
Dickerson, the financial agent,
we're present. All the corporations
we're represented. The meeting
was earnest in its deliberation, a, d
Ill present seemed very enthusiasts
tic in their support. 1t was the
general expressed opinion that the
outlook for the road is indeed en-
,ouraging. Mr.. Dickerson stated
that if the report of the expert to
the capitalists is satisfactory, the
money for the construction of the
road will be forth coming at once.
Arrangeme nts were perfected at
this meeting to have the expert
come over from England at once,
and he was cabled from Cynthiana
to make his arrangements immedi-
ately for an inspection tour OF the
route. The expert is expected to
arrive in the course of several
weeks. Those who best know the
facts connected with the proposed
road and the resources OF the coun
try through which it passes, have
no doubt that the experts report
will be favorable. The develop
ment Of the possibilities of the
southern trade, occasioned by the
war with Spain, will be material
factor in enlisting capital in the
enterprise. Every one left the
meeting at Cynthiana feeling that
the prospect for the early construc-
ton and completion of the Black
Diamond system Of railroads were
never so bright as now. The peo-
pie of Knox, and the counties
Through which the Indiana Division
passes, should now awake and 60
to work in earnest. 1t is impossi-
BILE to contemplate all the advanta-
ges which will accrue to us from
this road when finished. 1t is
surely the most important and the
most promising enterprise that has
been offered in the recollection q
Jour people. Now let US see wha,
the people of Vincennes and Knox
county can do t. help this enter
prise along, and assist the directors
lin their effort to have our division
inspected, and to make the bes
showing possible of our town
county and enterprise.

Niein, climb out of his way, leaving the lad to make the same leap untram- meled, and to follow him as he toiled along the face of the wall, until easier travelling was reached
 The feat was for the hunter to make the leap of eight feet and 10 land ou the narrow ledge so lightly that there would be no rebound, for the slightest would throw him backward, and it was impossible for him to turn so as to jump more than one-half the distance 10 he rock from which be first sprang.
 X more delicate feat cannot be i'm agined, aud it would be hard to find an athlete that would attempt it; but pausing only long enough to lay aside his baggage and carefully to poise himself, Frohmaur gathered his mus eles and made the leap just as XiyiG came mp behind him.
 The heart of the boy throbbed fast for he felt more misgiving than did his parent, and unfortunately it was we'll founded.
 The veteran ehamois hunter landed on the ledge, seemingly as lightly as a feather. He had gauged the distance and the effort required with marvellous skill; but there was just trife of rebound.
 He threw out his arms, desperately clutching forsom lightprotuberance but alas, there was none, and nothing could save him from going backward but for the presence of mind displayed by his son!
 Just as the father was in despair. something pushed against him, and he immediately recovered his balance.
 Are you safe. fathcr?"
 As the boy asked the question, he was leaning forward over the ravine. with the crooked end of the staff pressed against Frohmaur's back.
 Xivin was quick to detectthe miseal- culation of his father, aud he saved him by the artifice which was so simple that perhaps 1t was all the more re- markable on that account.
 And then, incredible as it may seem, Niyin, the daring boy, without casting aside his staff or sack, took the same perilous leap, the father uttering no protest, for he felt that such dangers were part of the profession he had adopted.
 Xivin accomplished the perilously delicate feat successfully, and climbed after his father without accident

his greater experience, took the lead, but his son was only the necessary dis ianee behind him.
 Steadily and carefully they went up- ward. untii al last theY reached table of rock, along which they erept on their hands and knees, until they finally at- tained the point of observation that had been their destination for the last two hours.
 Our friends were now within safe rifle shot, and the father had given Xiyin to understand that the game was his. It was with the eoolness and precision of ayeteran, therefore, tha the lad pointed his rifle, tool1deliberate aim and fired.
 Before the smoke lifted from the mug gle of his gun, he saw the ehamois spring to is feet, make a couple of bounds. and then disappear over the edge of the cliff.
 They were pretty certain where the dead animal would be found, and the hunters began picking their way down. ward.
 The hooked slaves they carried were indispensable, 1t may be said, and they used them with the skill of the Alpine guides.
 Frohmaur was some distance in ad- vance of Niyin, when it became neees- sary for him te make a dangerous leap, which may thus be described:
 Athasm several hundred feet in depth yawned before them. Directly in front was a solid mass of rocks, reaching hun dreds of feet upward. and strong ledge extended along the face of this wall of fering a firm support to whatever foot was placed upon it.
 But the frightful difficulty will be seen. Ii was eight feet away. ard the ledge was no more than eight or ten incees in width. It was as if person should leap directly against the side of brick house, at great distance 1 from the ground, there being projee- ton of several bricks on which to sup- port his feet, but not the slightest ob- l jeet for his hands to grasp. When it is remembered that each hunter carried his staff and reiek sack, and that the slightest rebound must send him topping backward into the abyss, the leap will seem impossible. And yet Frohmaur had made it more than once, and with scarcely any hesita- ton he prepared to attempt i6again.
 His momentary hesitation was that he might study whether there was any way of utilizing his staff. An amateur would be apt to think it of the highest use; but the Bayarian saw that t would ] be a hndranee. He therefore decided 10 leave his reiek sack and staff behind him, as XiYin could easily reach them across the intervening space 10 him.
 Then Fe would take the burdens of
