ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE. - While O'Neil w.
Robinson the forger was confined in the county
Jail he made use of the privileges usually grant
ed to prisoners to devise plan for regaining his
liberty. In connection with fellow prisoner
named Wilson he arranged "a nice little game"
by which they were to file off the bars of their
cell doors, and to get out into the corridor; then
attack the turnkey with brick rolled up in a
blanket, when he made his first visit early in
the morning, overpower him, get possession of
the keys and escape before the sheriff's family
were stirring. Robinson cautiously devulged
his plan to an outside friend who came to visit
him and asked assistance, but the sheriff was
apprised of the project and it was frustrated.
On examination the work of cutting off the
bars of the cell had been begun, but not COM
pleted. 1t was suspected that Robinson would
attempt to escape from the officer who took him
to Thomaston, and accordingly extraordinary
precautions were used to guard against any at
tempt.

The beet is unquestionably more
used as an eschlent in all stages OF
its growth than any other garden
vegetable. The seed should be
sewn for an early crop Just as soon
as the frost will permit the ground
to be worked. If the ground is not
rich from having been well manured
the previous season, the use Of a lit
tie bone meal and dry hen manure
with, say one-fourth Of plaster Of
paris, all in q powdered condition,
will give much more rapid growth
and cleaner roots, free from forks,
ETC., than the application Of ordinary
bone yard manure. Make the drills
and SOW the mixture in the drill with
the seed. The BassanO is the best
very early sort, which has been tes-
ted extensively, but a new one called
Egyptian Red bids fair in time to
supercede it. The old Early Bloog,
Turnip variety has also a rival nm.

1t is by no means easy to get manu-
script printed, as some unsOphisticated
authors fancy for it has to run the gaunt-
let of those terrible persons known as
" readers" All great publishers have sew
eral regular readers, besides others, emf
nent in their various professions, whom
they consult in relation to works of their
several specialties. Their function is to
give full consideration to and their best ad-
vice upon all matters submitted to them.
For this they receive a salary and it
would be considered on both sides a breach
of trust if they accept any compensation
whatever from the author for their work.
In fact, unless there are special reasons to
the contrary, the conscientious ''readeru
prefers never to see the author in relation
to the book while the question is pending.
When he has read the manuscript he
writes an opinion which he returns to the
firm, sometimes expressed in few words,
sometimes in an elaborate analysis and
criticism. But in any case he never re-
commends book except after careful con-
sideratiOn. These opinions are carefully
copied into book, and prepared for refer
ence. If the first readers verdict is favor
able, the manuscript is then sent to an
other reader, who knows nothing of what
his predecessor has said. Usually. and in
all cases of any possible doubt, the work
is sent to third reader. With three opin-
ions by three different persons, the firm
consider they have materials sufficient for
decision in the case.

The several Ways and Means Commit
tee bills being before the House, Mr.. May
nard on Thursday is reported as follows !:


He advocated the minority bill as a
substitute for the bill reported from the
committee. He advocated a revision of
the internal laws, with a decrease of the
number of officers, the abolition of the
stamp tax, reduction of taxation on other
articles, and ultimate abolition of the inter-
nal revenue system.


He next proceeded to argue there was
no popular demand for a change in the
present tariff, and claimed that the pros
perity of the country did not depend upon
our foreign trade. Our manufactures had
prospered since the tariff of 1861, and by
their prosperity had contributed to the
general prosperity Of the country and
that the protection afforded by tariff en-
couraged the immigration of clrss of
mechanics and others of a higher order
than would otherwise come to our shores.

There hangs on the wall before me.
Where the sunshine loves to dwell,
A picture, a sweet, little picture ..


That holds me in a spell
4 boy with sun-brown features,


All dimpled in childish joy;
And gaze through the tears that blind me,


On the little " Barefoot Boy"
The eyes are full of brightness,


And the cheeks so rosy red, ....-
That it hardly seems picture,


But living child instead
"A child, with his brown hands hidden,


In the pockets where turks each toy
Which know brought childish pleasure


To this little Barefoot Boy"
And think, while my tears are dropping


Like rain on my open book,
OF my little barefooted darling


That the summoning angels took;
And sigh for the vanished brightness,


AS l see each unused toy
That once belonged to my darling


To my little Barefoot Boy"
And think of one sad juno evening, .....
When the mOurnful robins sang,
And up from the gathering shadows


The cry of the whip-poor-will rang;
And l think of the gloomy shadow
That fell on life's brightest JOY
When the angels came in the twilight


For my little Barefoot Boy"
l see from the shadowless hearthstones


Glad children at merry play; -
And think of my life's broad shadow,


And weep and turn away;
And l look at my little picture,


And the face so bright with joy,
And think that a sinless angel
Was once my Barefoot Boy"

Is the fact that men are shouting for

ten years ago would have hung any man for

We sometimes catch ourselves wonder
ing how many of the young ladies whom
We meet with are to perform the part

now eye them so admiringly have per-
suadcd them to become wives. We listen
to those young ladies whom We speak and
hear them not only acknowledging, but
boasting. of their ignorance of all house
hold duties, as if nothing would so lower
them in the estimation of their friends,
as the confession of an ability to bake bread
and pies, OF cook piece of meat, or a
disposition to engage in any useful en-
ployment. Speaking from our own
youthful recollections, we are free to say
that taper fingers and lily hands are very
pretty to look at with young mans
eyes, and sometimes we have known the
artless innocence of practical knowledge
displayed by young miss te appear
rather interesting than otherwise. But
we have lived long enough to learn that
life is full of rugged experiences, and
that the most loving, romantic, and del
icate people must live on cooked or other
wise food, and the house be kept clean
and tidy by industrious hands. And for
all the practical purposes of married life,
it is generally found that for husband
to sit and gaze at his wife's taper fingers
and lily hands, or for wife to sit and be
looked at and admired, does not make the
pot boil, or put the smallest piece of food
therein. 80 sAal .

Who staggered home several times a

in fast horses, bet high at taces; and
staggered around the streets with ques-
tionable companions? Which picture

also see reported that Mrs. Van Coot,
says if she had all the money ever paid
for liquor, she could buy every foot of

BY the arrival of the Wilmington,
Charlotte d Rutherford Railroad train
this evening have additional particulars
of the terrible wounds received by Colonel
Cron. NJ. Wishart, when he was killed by
the Swamp Angels, together with the de-
tails of his burial. The remains were
inferred in the old Wishart family bury
ing ground, at Lumberton, on Saturday
afternoon. They arrived on the train
from Shoe Heel that morning. at seven
minutes past eleven o'clock, and the in-
terment took place at four F. NJ. Du-
ring the interval the body Of the ex-Con-
iederate soldier and gentleman was view
ed by quite concourse of bereaved and
outraged citizens. The greatest feeling
was manifested at the loss of this estima-
BILE man, and there was subdued but iu-
tense excitement visible. At the appoint
ed hour the remains were consigned to
the grave, and then the pent-up grief of
the people found vent in tears and loud
expressions of sorrow.


THE APPEARANCE OF TIE CORPSE
was natural. 1t was arrayed in neat but
plain alpaca suit. Upon examination the
fatal wounds proved horrible beyond con-
ception. In the right side there was
large gaping hole, made by a full dis
charge of buckshot close to the body, i'll
which the four fingers of a mars hand
could be placed with ease. One of the
shots went entirely


THROUGH THE BODY FROM SIDE TO SIDE
making a most ghastly looking wound.
The right arm and also the right leg and
thigh were broken and mutilated An
other shot pierced the brain, making its
entrance behind the right ear and coming
out near the left temple. There were also
several buckshot lodged in the left should
er. and this latter wound seemed to have
been inflicted while Wishart was prostra-
ted upon the ground in the last agonies of
death. A more brutal massacre Of hui
man being has scarcely ever before been
perpetrated by fierds in human shape.

 VI. With reference to your Super intendent I recommend that specific instructions be given him concerning the different Apache tribes, that he may feel that they are all under his supervision as soon as they are come upon reservations; that he also be instructed to go to the Mojave Apaches, now near Camp Verde, and communi- cate with them freely. and be sure that they understand fully the orders of the Government concerning them :; for I have reason to believe that these Indians have been deceived. I saw a photograph of number of them who had come in voluntarily, each treated to ball and chain. It is evident from his letter in the ap- pendix that General Crook did not intend this ill taking them as "prisoners of war. " -,.gz5sl

 Again I urge the necessity of your Superintendent proceeding, under pro- per escort, to what is known as the Tonto Basin as soon as possible, and there enter into negotiations with Del she and his Tonto Apaches, for they sent delegates tos me who seemed strongly disposed to make peace. l could not do it because of the absence of their leader. They failed to bring him to Apache, as I required. Yet l would give them another opportunity. Concerting with General Crook your Superintendent can accomplish this without checking operations against the raiders. The relationship between the Indian Superintendent and the commanding general is peculiar one where there are hostile tribes to deal with, but can not be in absolute au- thority. In Arizona l did not zee any want of cooperation, and merely
