these malign influences mav be removed by
concerted endeavor. Memphis, a city honey

A Boi.n Ksiivmie in Phomi-t Bevaf
TLKE. The. new management at our county
jail experienced their first sensation, and by
no means a pleasant one. on Tuesday morn
ing last, when Albert Beam, a young mar
ried man from Upper Yoder township, who
is now in durance awaiting trial for alleged
assault and battery with intent to commit a
rape on a young "lady named Sarah Jane
Price, managed to skid out at wi" iront noor
of that institution ami hie himself to other
scenes as rapidly as possible through the
snow which then covered, as it now covers,
the ground to the depth of two r three
inches. How the bold but unsuccessful at
tempt to escape was managed is thus ex
plained . There are two slides to the cell
ditor, and one of these, it seems, is suscepti
ble of a certain trick on the part of the pris
oner bj whi. h it may at will lie thrown out
of place, thereby rendering the locking up
prut ess entirely" nugatory Ream seems to
have been in nos-e ion of this secret, and
-on the morning named, uniting the way
clear, he displaced a couple of screws and
walked boldly forth. His footsteps tended
iua northeasterly direction, as was plainly
evinced by tracks in the snow, and pursuit
was immediately given by a score of per
sons, including the Sheriff and the turnkey.
The prisoner was ultimately brought to bay
at a point two miles north of town, where he
had entrenched himself behind a brush-pile.
Webster, a son of Sheriff liriffith, was his
captor. "What do eon waul with me"" de
manded Ream. "1 w ant yon to go hack to
jail." said Webster, emphasizing the words
ny the ptesentatlon ot a cocked revolver,
"and I want von to go back without the
waste of very many words on your part ."'
Whereupon fleam emerged from his hiding
place, and. at the musxle of the pistol, meek
ty sufuiiitted to be marched back to his for
mer quarters. Subsequently, a band of iron
was encased around his ankles and the blind
door leading to bis cell shut, ar.d. in silent
contemplation for a few day- be will con

salary from J.vm to Sioii per year. That Mr
Lilly and his good ladv have given entire
satisfaction during the "eight ears of their
incumbency is certainly beyond question,
ami no reason other than that somebody else
should have a chance, which even Mr Lilly
will admit is no' an unreasonable demand,
has ever been or could ever he urged against
the repeated appointment, with which that
gentleman has been exoeptionably favored.

-An esteemed friend and prominent atho
lic layman writes to call our attention to
several misstatements made by am cane
spe.ndent "J. A. S.." in his letter from Ncw
Mexieo. which our friend very properly com
plains of a- calculated to give scandal and
create false hnptesshms, ami which we sn-li.-e
to say should have either been cm reeled
or suppressed at the time, as would certainty
have la-en done had not other pressing duties
me vcilted ns from reading the letter care
fully before publishing it, while even the
coire. ting of the moot was of necessity left
toother hands, we shali note MUbsc errors,
into whi. h of course our correspondent . who
is himself a Catholic, has unwittingly been led
in the order in which they have been noted
by Hie getftii man who ha- so kindly called
oiir attention thereto. First, then, while it
ami be true, as "J. A. S." asserts, that the
native Mexican is filthy and indolent, those
peculiarities are not sjns, bet merely vices,
end the Church, neither in New Mexico nor
els. where, ever -'covers'' such thing- as
vi. . s or -ins Secondly, the "Penitentes"
are a miserable lot of q nasi-Pagans, w ho are
and always have been rnudisted and con
rtemnrl by the i 'lunch. Third ly , no member
of said oider ever "submitted to l- cTUcided
head downward." or otter nisi , the asertion
to the contrary being an old story , long since
repeated and thorouglily expl dsu. We mav
add, in conclusion, that Hon. Bradford I .
Prince, of Brooklyn, who was recently ap
pointed Inet .lus'u-e ot the I . s. Supreme
I
illtt of .New Mexico, six-iik- m the highest
terms of praise ol the people, and especially
ot the women, of that country, whom he re
presents as virtuous, intelligent and in every
way worthy of confidence and esteem.

''Arctic,'' the f'arrolitown eorresponde nl
of the Johnstown SunHui, Times, says that
the asain topic of conversation in that place
now is railroad. The proposition is to build
a narrow guagc road from Cherrytree via
Carrolltown to Flienshure. The subject is
quite warmly agitated, and if capitalists
there can succeed in gaining the cooperation
of Cherrytree and Fhensborg, no doubt the
scheme can he made feasirde. if once made,
there could be no doubt of its paying. Our
whole section, snjs the correspondent, is
rich in minerals, such ns coal, limestone, fire
lay. etc., and timber of all kinds is abundant.
We have in many places three vein, of coal
overlying each other, and we have the very
l't quality oT bituminous coal in veins from
four to s, yen leet in thickness In many of
our banks a man can walk uptight and wear
a high hat without danger of tou ming the
roof of the bank The present condition of
our roads, whi. h renders travel almost Ira
p -siMe, is bringing the s lib joe I home to
merchants, farmers, and in fact all manner of
business men. The cons-tru-tion of such a
roar from north to south through Ibis portion
of tin: county must result in incalculable
good to the community, and assist in rle
veloping the mineral wealth of half of the
county io the advantage and benefit of the

In the early days of Cambria ceanty the settlers
were wont to sit up all night on t'hristnias Ere.

fice cheered the uicht with their ruddy nlow and
actual warmth. aflordiiiK the pis i.k- ample upper

have'presenle.1 awry pictuns-nuc spectacle the
animated trronps standing around the ftreat fires
at raldniprht. while the dark forests surrounding
them were shrouded In ifloom. Ever and anon a
mud -bespattered horseman would dash In from
some quarter, still further auumentltut she crowd
of joyous people who, in those days, had enough
ot life ami spirit, to enjoy a holiday, not bclupr so
apathetic as the folks are now-a-days. who think
tin ..t.-ervance of a day even so holy as Christmas
is entirely t.. vulvar ts.i hard on the nerves too
eseitimr." Sueh people have not the old-fash n.ned.
nood-naturcd . fresh, whole-souled humanity In
them to prop.-rly enjoy the Fourth of July, much
le.- appre ate the manifold ble.siujrs aecnnnir to
the world from tin- birth ol our Saviour; but. oti

in tbi surlu'c ol tie earth we find hills, i alleys
and niouiitalns : oceans, lakes and rivers; woods,
prairies and d -serts. -all diversity everywtiorc,
no monotonous inantnily ot -amenes- no. Dot even
on the wiJe ocean of waters, lor there they have
ImIsjBI days ttn,j cloudy .lays. ... ir -layH and stormy
Jays, days of calm surface and dav s when the ware's
run mou'iitain high. 11 Ton no we find Alverstty
height and deoth : to-. it and cold : l.ght and dark
ness ; iss-nu au.l land. So, al-o. to liv ari-zht we
must liniH diversity in the day of the year. BUi
not have every day alike, like a train ol paeh mules
crossing a desert. Sameness Is not found in the
w..rk- ot natute. tie- -vest, re pTalries and stepptu.
ol Asia alone exeepted. and even they are subject
to the vkelssitnilt - ol un"blne and storm, summer
and winter. Let us, then, hs e holidays, and let
u- observe and sustain them, and not allow them
to sink to an apathetic level, knowing a- we ail do
that --variety Is the spice oi life."
To these nevcturnal irathcrlng- on Christina- Ev e
many of the folks would go afoot; and when the
-ea-oti turned out a "reen Christmas," t lie going
was anything but pleasant and convenient. Imrk
ass. mud and !nsh was Ihe order of the night, to
say nothing ol tripping over roots and stumps, and
mayhap setting off the road In the murky obscuri
ty." Wnen it is remembered that some oi the peo
ple had to walk a distance of seven or eight miles
through the aliove described inconvenience, we
can lorm something like a just conception ol the
real and bcarty piety Which a.-tuatod the settlers
in these day -.
Young raid old. male and female, evlnetsi their
earni stnes- in the discharge ol their religions du

they were not "lukewarm' In their pious offerings.

it happened he was reading the laxrable ol the ewe

decrepit dd man who was in his dotage chanced
to be slopping there that day. and he fell to doting
while (.lordon road Tbisdld not please the ardent
youth any too well, and at last he admonished the
old man to sit up and listen to the reading." "O,

the old man was doting again. Tbir. was too mnch

boys, hut I'll fix the old fellow !" Taking down the
power horn, he ilu-ded the old man's bair all full
o! powder, and then gently twist. d In a piece of
paper for a slow match. In a moment there was a
tixz and a flash, and the old man - head was as
bald as il it barber had lathered aud shaved It
with one exception, the black remains of the pow

the rest of the family came In. and the father. In-
'ski .ti the situaiiou seized a stunt cud

innoeen; youth, with loud protestations, cleared
himself oi the Dtaaae, and laid ii on htt brother
(leotrge, who. seeing there wi uld is- no use In ag

loft, pulling tiie ladder alt him. Knowing that
the ...d gentleman would not be put of hi trifle.,
he got into bed and laid th. ladder oti the top
covering it over with Manketl ami ifUills. The old
man. wiih a vast amount ol putting and scolding,
at last made In- way into the loll, when be lorl no
lime in failing to will: bis cudgel, (ieorge with
loud cries and groans would still reiterate that he
would never do It again, while the old man whack

then shooting through bis clenched teeth : "I'll

appi-a-ed, and went down stairs, lea' Ing 'Si rg

Gordon and hi- compeers enacted many another

As it cbanc.-d that day a good shower of rain came

when they -al leisurely down and quietly bsvk oil

down In ierfct torrents, while a hundred muddy
rivulets roared and rushed down the hill on every
