ATTEMPTED ESCAPE At THE COUNTY JAIL.
The accounts published i'll some Of the city
papers OF "a desperate attempt of pri-
soncr to escape jail" are not altogether
correct, and may have unintcntionally re-
hected some diScredit upon the officer IN
charge. Dickson, the negro in question,
was charged with beating lad with a
stick, and was sent to Henrico jail for safe
keeping by the county authorities of Han
over. He had not been in Jail week be-
fore Justice Wade found that he was out OF
his mind, ard he was therefore 'rea'ea
differently from the ordinary prisoners.
The attempted escape on Monday was frus-
trated without any difficulty, as was also
similar attempt on yesterday. Last even
inp an order was received for Dickson to
he turned over to the authorities of Hanover
county for trial.

The Paris correspondent Of the London
Star, says


It appears that some Of the Richeleu fam
lily papers have lately come to light and
have revealed the fact that the great Cardi
nal head was preserved apart from his
body The question arose, what had be-
come oft? The Emperor ordered search
to be made, and desired that no expense
should be spared in the effort to recover this
treasure. After many months of patient
research tile head was found yesterday in
the possession of an ancient family Of Bre
tague. 1t was forwarded last night, lOcto-
her 4th, to the Ministere de i. Instruction
PubHque.


A friend ofmine was present at the OPEN
ing Of tie box. give you his description
verbatim. The head is in wonderful state
Of preservation-the Whiskers, eyebrows,
the imperial and moustache, Of a reddish
color and quite perfect one eyelid closed,
the other half open. The flesh, of course,
is black Ctla UG sans dire Altogether it
presents the appearance of a mask, but far
from unpleasinr. A telegraphic message
was dispatched to the Emperor in the fol
lowing words: What is to be done with
the defunct Cardinal?' His Majesty's re-
ply had not come when my friend left the
Ministere. The fear is that orders viii be
given that his Eminence is to have decent
burial, which would be pity.


Living and dead, he was, and is, an enig-
ma, and as we have the jaw Of Moliere to
stare at, we might be allowed to gaze at his
Eminence likewise I should like to know
how he felt whirling along by special train
As he rested his aching head on the velvet
cushions of his gilded barge, and glided in
stately pomp down the Loire to Lyons, fol-
lowed by his doomed prisoners, the Courtier
Croy Mois. and the witty De Thou great
would have been his amazement could a
prophet have told him that centuries later
the same head would come up to Paris at
the pace of forty miles per. hour, IN a com
mon packing case, at the fat ofan Emperor
of France, whose ancestor at that period was
a private gentleman Of Corsica.
