 Escape.

Green Casey, a convict at San Quen- tin, has won the admiration of all his fellow conviets al the prison for the novel eontrivanae he has invented in order to make his escape from the pris. on walls some time ago, and through Sheriff Langdon Of Santa Clara eouE5y. the story has leaked out, says the SaL Francisco Call, Casey was a kind of trusty around the prison grounds, anc while working n one of the grounds iE the vicinity Of the pris 2n he took it into his head that he would like to es- cape, and was beginning to tax his mind as to the most advantageous way 10 suit his purpose. AS he was stroll Ing around on the green grass which grows in abundance around the prison, an idea struck him that if he could initiate the grass by some means he could elnde the watchful sentries and make good his escape Through the aid of his convict friends he procured some pieces of burlap. and with the aid of some rope made them into 2 long coat that would cover him completely when lying on the grass. He then se- cured some wheat from the prison stable an9 soUed 1t down eareless.y at one end of the prison grounds. and watefed it daily. In Q few weeks the grass gneH up through t.ss sack coa-. and before a great while t1e p.ece Of burlap was conformed Into 3 grassy lawn. He was now ready to carry out bis plans, and patiently waited an op- portunity. At last hA succeeded in get ting his new contriy 3nco across to the northwest Of the prison, and tn ] few minutes was under his grassy coat. Slowly he crept along with the clever ness of worm, and from all appear ances success would crown his efforts. But his progress was too rapid, and very soon he heard footsteps coming in bis direction. The moving grass plat, which was slowly making it's way up the hillside soon came to a sudden standstill as the eye Of guard had noticed the grass moving and came to Investigate the phenomenon.

 oreat Play.

Two tragedies aere given by the faranese players at the Boston theater recently, and the author Of both-Ka- wakami-playea tie leading part in each. Japanese piaywrights are cer- tsinly versatile, and when the amount If physical Ia5Q. Involved in these r. d. gedies is considered, they ean.aot be said to be afraid of 4ard uark, says the Boston Herald, Thn 5apanese idea or The Merchant of Venice, which the author attempts to show in "Sairoku" and h which be plays the name part proved hardly as entertaining as might be expected It might be called waari- some in places, owing to the rrotracted dialogue and insufficient pantomime to clearly indicate what the people were talking about. The main features A1 Lhe play are copied, with some changes Thus the Jewish mjser becomes Ja panese miserly fsherman, the pound ot flesh is three square inches to be cut off nearest the heart Of the lover e miser's dane1ter, who has borrow
 2 4Q0 rio under the pledge Of flesh 1Hre; and an older daughter ia
 Pcrtia who becomes the judge and
 e5 the lovers life. The play ends s~ppily in the repentance of Siroku though not before the tragic element Is devolved in the suicide of the young er daughter. The shorter play that opened the bill ard Is called Scarlet Snow" Is based OH events following the visit of Commodore Perry in Japan in 1853, and the tragic fate of Minister Tairo Ramon in consequence Of his signing treaty in opposition to the wishes of the exclusion party The hand-to-hand fighting that comprises almost the entire second act and that reddens the deep snow with bloot gives the name to the play, and Is 6 study of muscular realism on the stage The play Is ven entirely by the men but in "Siroku" two ladies of the con- pany, Sada Yacco and Mikami, give de- lightful performances as the tive daughters.
