The Emperor Napoleon's Escape from
Prince Napoleon, now Emperor of
France, was confined in the Fortress of
Ham, after his failure at Boulogne—
" Taken prisoner by the soldiers of
King Louis Philippe, the venturesome
Prince, who had thus, for the second
time, vainly invaded France,—he was
imprisoned and passed seven years uri.
der the most strict surveillance. That
he finally, escaped, is well known in the
United States, but the details of this
important event are generally unknown
or at best distorted. The Prince had In
the prison with him two devoted friends
—Conneau and Thelin. The former, a
doctor, was the friend and companion
of the Prince. He remained in the for
tress from devotion to the latter, as in
fact did Thelin—neither of them being
prisoners. Thelin was the servant of
the Prince. On the morning of the day
that the escape was to be attempted, the
three persons in question, hidden be
hind the curtains of the window of the
Prince's bed-chamber, watched for the
arrival of the workmen who were busied
repairing some portions of the fortress.
It was just six as the laborers came in,
and having submitted to the usual in
spection at the gateway, passed on
through the lines of soldiery stationed
there. The moment they had concluded
this every day ceremonial, the latter
dispersed and the men were allowed to
set about their different tasks. This
morning while the inspection was be
ing made the Prince hastily shaved off
his moustache, which made a great
change in his appearance. Over his
clothes he donned a coarse, linen shirt,
and over that such a blouse as French
workmen usually wear. He pulled on
a pair of torn and soiled pantaloons,
such as the men wore, and put on a wig
of black hair. Thus clothed and with
his face and hands darkened by paint,
he was completely disguised.
Putting on some wooden shoes, or ta
bots such as the lower classes wear,
sticking in his mouth a short pipe and
putting upon his shoulder a long and
heavy plank, the Prince sallied forth.
He and his friends had first placed a
lay figure in the bed usually occupied
by him, so that the sentinel or guard,
who looked in every half hour or so,
would imagine that the Prince, as was
often the case, desired to remain in bed
and would be allowed to do so, undis
turbed. Once outside of his room, dan
ger
and difficulties awaited the fugitive
at every step. He had not only to pass
the guards and the soldiers, but also
such workmen as he might meet, and
who would net fail to hail a stranger
among them. Herein Thelin came to '
his assistance. He informed the work
men that he intended to treat them to
"le coup de math'," the morning's
drink, and having thus secured the at
tention of those upon the passage of the
Prince, played the host to them until
the latter had cleared the stairway. !
Then Thelin ran after his master, and
taking the start of him accosted the two
guardians, whom the latter had to pass.
One of the men Thelin stood before and
calling to the other talked pleasantly
to them. Ho had his overcoat on his
arm, and the guardian, with whom his
gay bearing had rendered him a favorite,
bade him " bon voyage" as he seemed
about to go out. He took them some
what aside and desired in a confidential
way to know what he might smuggle
into the fortress for them. This occa
sioned some laughter, during which
time the Prince with his plank on his
shoulder passed on. One of the guards
looked at him, and he, as it were, stop
ped to allow the inspection. He then
moved on and the danger was escaped.
At that moment, a work.nan who had
just come down stairs, hastened after
the Prince as though he wished to accost
him. This man, a locksmith, Thelin
stopped. and gave some directions to.
thus allowing the Prince time to get on
out of reach of this interruption. When
passing the first sentinel Napoleon let
his pipe full from his mouth, and stoop
\ang to pick It up, managed to get beyond
the soldier, who looked at him without
suspicion. Having thus escaped the
sentinel, he without apparent emotion
pursued his course, marching through
the soldiers grouped about the outer
entrance of the stronghold. An officer,
however, advanced as though to speak
to him. He \serung around the long
plank, to escap'e,the shock of which the
officer fell back,liind the Prince kept on
his course. He was now free. but was
still in sight of the guard, when sud
denly the greatest risk he had yet run
presented itself. Two workmen saw the
to them total stranger, and calling out
to him desired to know his name. At
that moment and just as the Prince felt
how great was his daner, some one in
the distance shouted out, " That is Ber
thon," and Napoleon saw the two men
turn away. Marching along still with
the plank ou his shoulder, the Prince
gained the high road, and then Thelin,
who had made the preparations before
hand, overtook his master and the two
en tered the carriage in waitingund drove
!away hastily. The Prince threw off his
workman's clothes, but kept on the wig,
and taking the reins drove hastily to•
wards St. Qhentin. Passing through
this town the fugitives continued their
course until they reached Valenciennes,
where they took the train to Brussels.
The lay figure in the Prince's bed at
the fortress was, of course, duly looked
at by the guards, but they did not de
sire to disturb the Prince all the more
as Thelin had lighted a large fire in the
adjoining sitting-room upon the pretext
of the Prince's indisposition. Becoming
somewhat uneasy concerning the state of
his Trisoner the commander of the fort
ress at last made up his mind to see
him, and then was discovered the fact
that the Prince had escaped. Of course,
all pursuit proved useless, and a short
time after the ex-prisoner of state be
came, first, President, and then Emper
or of France. Naturally enough, he did
not forget the faithful services of Thelin
and Conneau, both of whom haveever
since remained with the Emperor. The
first is the " Cuissicr Purtieulier de ea
Majestic," that is, Keeper of the Private
Purse of his sovereign, and you will
easily comprehend that the former ser
vant is now one of the most influential
personages in the empire. Dr. Conneau
is still the physician of his Majesty ; but
he is more—he is his moat intimate and
valued friend—no person in France be
ing so familiar or so powerful with the
Emperor. To be patronized or befriend
ed by Dr. Conneau is to be ensured ad
vancement, as many of the most rising
men in the Empire could bear testimony
to. The son of Dr. Conneau is the
chosen playmate of the Prince Imperial;
the wife of Dr. Conneau is the friend
and companion of the Empress—in short,
the little man (Conneaa) is by far the
most important member of the Court.
He is quiet and unobtrusive, but is
aware of the influence he wields.
How these persons, the Emperor, the
doctor and the former servant, must
sometimes wonder at the strong decrees
of Fate! How small a thing might
have turned the scale against them, how
daring a risk they ran and how enor
mous is the change, from the monoto
nous captivity to the splendor of the
most brilliant throne in the world!—
and all of it due to the dirty blouse, the
torn trowsers, the black wig—and how
great a role in this dramatic event did
not the lay figure play. Without the
silent partierpolian of that sonless,
lifeless bundle of rags, there would
doubtless have been no Empire to-day.
Paris would not now be the brilliant,
the most marvelous of cities. In their
hours of private conference the three
great personages referred to must some
times gaze at each other in something
like amazement at their own good for
tune. How they must chuckle over the
oft-repeated tale of that escape, so dra
matic, so successful, so wonderful in
fact,
Some people believe that blood was
shed, that lives were sacrificed, in:order
that Napoleon might escape.. That was
not so. The above 'description being

VOLUME 69
Women Eine 'Evegthlnn Without t h e
The following is an eitract from Gail
Hamiltons' last book, styled " Woman's
Wrongs" :
What incitement to honor, prollt,
eduCation, do women miss in. Missing
the ballot? What barrier will it remove,
what stimulus present? The brilliant
prizes of life are already open to female
competition: There are still unequal
laws, but not so many, or so severe, as
to prevent any woman's becoming
whatever she has power to become in
any walk of life except the political.'
Is it said that women are not Yet edu
cated to fill these public positions, and
therefore they do not Come forward . ?
But every school, except the highest, is
open to girls now ; and even the doors
of colleges are beginning to creak on
their hinges. The selfsame day on
which women wish to go to college,
they will go. Whilemen are hesitating,
colleges are founding for women ; but if
a force of sixty girls, well fitted for col
lege, should beleaguer old Harvard to
day, they would compel her to capitu
late. Nay, if twenty girl-graduates of
high schools should knock at her doors
for admission, those doors might groan
and grate harsh thunder, but they
would swing open and let them in.
It would sometimes seem, from the
tone of discussion;as if the ballot were
a sort of talisman, with a power toward
off all harm from its possessor. To me
it looks rather like a clumsy contrivance
for bringing opinion to bear on govern
ment—fine, delicate, precise, as com
pared with the old time method of the
sword; but coarse, blundering and in
sufficient when compared with the pen,
the fireside, and the thousand subtle
social influences, penetrating; perva
sive, purifying. A few silent points of
opinion the ballot-box grasps and pre
sents. A sort of rough, average justice
it dispenses, and is so far a powerful in
fluence for good, but all the delicate
shades of opinion and all the delicate
grades of justice it misses and must al
ways miss. Voting is the prescribed
legal, official way of expressing opinion,
but there are many other ways.
Female suffrage seems to be a foregone
conclusion ; it remains for us to prevent
it so far as possible from being a conclu
sion in which nothing is concluded.
Right or wrong, England and America
seem tending towards universal suf
frage, and in fact, as in terms, universal
suffrage must include female suffrage.
Not attempting or desiring to interfere
with those who would hasten our steps,
I feel there concerned that there should
be preparation for it. To me, female
suffrage in the form in which it is pro
posed, shares with universal suffrage,
though iu a less degree, the character of
an experiment whose result is doubtful.
But will the incursion of women upon
the ballot-box seriously mend matters?
I fear not. Accomplished in the man
ner and to the extent proposed, I hon
estly think not. Believing, as I do,
most firmly, that the right of suffrage
belongs to woman In precisely the same
measure as to man—no more and no
less—and that it will do for woman pre
cisely what it-will do for man—no bet
ter and no worse—still, were the alter
native presented to me of changing the
basis of suffrage either by extending the
franchise. Indiscriminately to women,
or by still further restricting it among
men, I think I should unhesitatingly
choose the latter. I would far sooner
trust the welfare of the country, to the
freely acting wisdom of intelligent and
virtuous men, than to the wisdom of
intelligent and virtuous men and wo
men, hampered, baffled, and overborne
by the folly of unintelligent and vicious
men and women.
POOR WORK TUE CAUSES OF POOR PAY.
It seems to me that the great and
simple cause of the low wages paid
. to
women is the low work they produce.
They are equal only to the coarse, com
mon labor; they get only the coarse,
common pay, and there are such mul
titudes of them that their employer has
everything his own way. The moment
they rise to a higher grade of work, the
crowd thins, and they become masters
of the situation.
In any community the character of
either sex may be inferred from that of
the other. The very laws that bear so
unjustly on woman represent not only
a man's thoughtof woman, butwoman's
thought of herself. If the women of
Massachussets, or of New York, or of
any State where there are unjust laws,
should rise in a body as women and de
mand the repeal of those laws, they
would be repealed. Strong as are love
of power, and the might of brute force,
and the greed of gain, there is no
man and no law that can stand out
against the concentrated will of
women. It is because the mass of
women do not know what the laws are,
or do not care, that the laws stand. The
improvement in laws respecting women
since the woman's rights agitation com
menced, shows what can be done even
by a few women without the ballot.
This no more militates against the vote
of women than against the vote of men ;
but, if true, it shows that when either
sex votes, the other does in some sense
vote with it. It is not the legislators
alone, it is the woman's rights women
who have been at work repealing old
laws and enacting new. Let the women
of America make up their minds what
laws they want, and they will have
them, and may laugh at the ballot.
Where is the sense in a woman's
starving because she has no food in
her hands, when a woman is starving
by her side because she hasno hands
for her food? I feel indignant when I
hear these multiplied stories of whole.
sale destitution. lam disposed to say
to these women—lf you choose to stay
at home and perish rather than go into
your neighbor's kitchen and supply
your wants, do so; but do not appeal to
those for pity from whom you refuse
employment. I know there are many
who are tied to their own wretched
homes ; but if those who 'are unincum
bered resort to the kitchens of the rich,
It would relieve the stress of competi
tion, those who remain would command
a better price for their labor, and star
vation would be permanently stopped.
I do not say this because housework is
woman's sphere, but because his honest
work that calls her, and any honest
work in her power is better than star
vation and more dignified than com
plaint or outcry.
What can the ballot do towards equal
izing wages, where work is already
equalized without affecting wages, as is
not unfrequently the case ? There are
shops of the same sort, on the same
street, with male clerks in one and
female clerks in the other, where the
former work fewer hours and receive
higher wages than the latter. There is
a wrong, an injustice, but the law can
not
interfere. It cannot force a haberd
asher to pay ten dollars for service
which he can secure for six. Moreover,
the question of female clerkship is not
yet settled. There are conscientious,
intelligent and obliging shopkeepers
who say that female clerks are not satis
factory. They are not able to stand so
long as clerks are required to stand.
They have not the patience, the civility,
the tact that male clerks have. Ido not
know how this is ; I only say these
things are alleged.
I think, if the women of a country
village were to decide by vote whether
the schoolmistress in summer should
have as much a month as the school
master in winter, the money coming
from theirown, that is, their husbands'
purses, they would vote No, in about
the same proportion as men now vote
it. It is partly because women have
not sufficient evritde corps to staid up
for one another to any extent. Wn
men's love of men. is so much stronger I
than their love of justice, that they
would go wrong with men, rather than
right, against them. So far as this is
the result of a falseeducation, of God
is-thy-law-thou-mine teachings, it is to
be deprecated.: So far as it is the natu
ral arrangerd6nt of 'things, It is bene
ficial. Certainly that would be a cal
amitous Cause which should array the
two sexes against each other. It would,
in fait; be practically impossible, for
the idea underlying the relation of the
tWii sexes is the idea of :unity; that of
individuals of either 84' is separation;
And this instinct of unity will niways
keep men and women , workieg with
and for each other, though they may
often work wrong.

The, process is this: Mrs. Jenkin
water, from London, thinks, with a lit
tle flutter, she would likes dress, but
shrinks in awe from the great attirer of
noble people. He would not condescend
to take any trouble with so humble an
stranger. Perhaps her husband has
told her of the great English artist at
home, who will not measure any ordi
nary person unless properly introduced
by a customer of distinction. But she
Is quite in error; the man-milliner pro
fesses to know no distinction nor de
gree. He is open to all, like the law.
Mrs. Jenkinwater will have her ap
pointment, possibly, a long way off,
like the princess; and must come
at a fixed hour, as to • a den
tist. She is shown into a draw
ing-room, and to her enters Mr.
Worth, watch in hand. He throws his
eye over the lady's figure, and at once
" composes a dress." He knows what
will suit the face and height. He has,
in ge n eral, very j odicious theories. With
some of the magnificent princesses who
give him carte-blanche, he is daring and
splendid in his conceptions. He will
build up fabrics which recall the old
days of the stage, when Barry and
Belamy moved the tenants of the most
gorgeous edifices of brocade, lace, gold
and silver. Richness and costliness
characterize his style—velvets embroi
dered in gold, and covered with lace;
seagreen lace loaded with flappant bor
ders of rich colors—a feast to the eye.
Milliners from every decent capital
come to wait on Worth. They go away
bearing a dress or a pattern, for which
they pay fabulous prices. It is not gen
erally known that what are called
"peplums" sprang from Worth's brain.
To him we ode the tight fitting jacket
—a l'acrobat—gorgeous in gold and
colored embroidery, and with ou t sleeves.
Mark that touch of genius, for there is
as much talent in knowing what to
abate as in knowing what to add. A
great man, my masters! We may won
der why he shrinks from bonnets, as
we might open there a vast track of
country. I do not think it would
be unworthy of his genius, for
there is a wild disorder in that de
partment—a tendency to run riot in
the matter of hair and flowers. We
want a re-distribution scheme. The
bonnet is being improved off the face of
the head, if we may be pardoned the
expression. It is the compbund house
holder, of whom all parties in the State
want to get rid. This should be op
posed with a firm hand; and I should
say Worth is the man to carry a strong,
lasting, and satisfactory bill. He affects
an Abernethy bluntness and decision.
A short, dumpy lady faintly wishes for
a deep green dress. " You would wish
to look like an ivybush, wouldn't you?"
he says, sarcastically. " With all my
heart."
An agitated assistant comes in with a
message. The Countess knows she can
not see him ; but would he design some
thing?
" What is she like ?"
"Sallow, monsieur, tall and thin."
The artist shades his eyes, thinks a
moment, and presently sends out a
complete sketch dress, trimmings, every
thing, which is accepted with gratitude.
Even of a famous Marquise, perhaps
his best customer, he will speak slight
ingly. "She is nothing,' he says.—
"There is no foundation; I have to re
construct her altogether. It Is endless
trouble, pulling down and building up."
This is perfectly true. Such attenuated
votaries the priest loads with finery,
then'piles up the fashionable agony
until something substantial has been
reared. A petticoat of rich, thick, white
satin, then a skirt of amber satin, groan

over that a layer of tulle, still and glis

ques. Madame's maid is, of course,
understood to have done her part in
"setting" a good concrete foundation.
The result is, this lucky artist is making
an enormous fortune. The ladies of the
empire are deep in his book. We may
suppose the unhappy husbands shut
their eyes, and think that shooting the
fashionable Niagara is some time oft
yet.—All the Year Round.
The "Keystone State."
There are doubtless but few, compara
tively, of the great mass of our fellow
citizens that know why Pennsylvania
received the appellation of the' Key
stone State;" and it may be equally
true that few are aware of the fact that
Pennsylvania decided the great issue of
American Independence.
In the old Episcopal Church-yard in
Chester stands a plain, neat monument,
about twelve feet in height, erected over
the remains of John Morton, one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independ
ence, July 4, 1776. It bears the follow.
ing inscription :_

The Belle Boyd Hardier DlVoree Mei
'Boyd Hardhag, 161aintiff; vs.
Saindel,W. Haiding,, defendant An,
other - chapter In-the eventful history of
Belle . Boyd, " Stonewall) , Jackson's
favorite scout in the Shenandoah Val
ley daring the campaign In Virginis,
closed yesterday, when Judge Cardoso,
at'SupremeChurt, Chambers, rendered
a decision dissolving the bonds of matri
mony between 'the "Belle of the Val
ley " and Samuel W. Harding. At the
close 9f her career, which rendered her
name historic in connection with some
of the.events of the late rebellion, Belle
went to Edgland and made her debut
as an actress at one of the London thea
tree.
While in the exercise of her new
vocation she became acauainted with
a man named Samuel W. Harding,
and subsequently, on the 25th of Au
gust, 1864, was married to him in that
city, at St. James' Church, Piccadilly.
She continued to perform in public for
some time, her name, memorable in
consequence of her romantic and daring
achievements on behalf of the "lost
cause" proving a sufficient attraction to
the English people, so many of whom
sympathized with the Southern people
in their struggle. Harding, her hus
band, who had also acquired some
notoriety as an author and an actor,
was formerly an officer in the United
States naval service. A short time
since Belle returned to America with
her husband, and performed in various
theatres throughout the country, and
only a few evenings since made her
bow to a New York audience at the
French theatre. In December last, in
consequence of certain proofs of infidel
ity on behalf of her liege, she commenced
an action for divorce a vincula main:-
rnonii against him. The suit was insti
tuted in the Supreme Court by the
service of summons an dcomplaint upon
her husband personally, and service
admitted in his own handwriting.
The case was referred to Gratz Nathan,
to take testimony and determine the
issues, and report with his opinion
thereon to the Court. Proof was taken
of the marriage, and it was conclusively
shown that the defendant was guilty,
as charged in the complaint, the offense
having been committed with one Fan
nie Sinclair, a courtezan at a house in
Crosby street. The defendant did
not appear upon the reference, as
he is at present in California, but
his father was present and superintended
his son's interests, no defense being in
terposed, however. An autograph let
ter of the defendant, written to "My
Dear Colonel," a friend of Harding's,
giving the real and fictitious names of
his damsel," Fannie, and stating that
she "had a card of his (Harding's) stick
ing in her glass," was also produced for
the plaintiff in evidence.
The referee reported in favor of plain
tiff on all the issues, and the Court con
firmed the report yesterday. Belle asks
no alimony from her former husband,
and was apparently anxious only to get
rid of him. She stated explicitly on the
reference that she wished to resume her
maiden name, Belle Boyd.
A War Reminiscence
Just before the late rebellion there
came to the city of St. Louis an Eastern
lad named Fiske. Having been reared
to the rigid notions of New England,
eating for mental fodder Jonathan Ed
wards' tracts, and attending Sunday
school regularly, it is no wonder he
acted according to his natural bent, and
played off good in the new city, where
he had sought an asylum. He 'tended
meetin' regularly, and the old women
all puckered up their mouths and ob
served, "What a nice young man!"
The war broke out and Fiske prayed.
He prayed long; he prayed well; he
prayed so efficiently that he prayed
himself into a chaplaincy, which hav
ing secured, he turned about and preyed
on the community and people through
whose influence he had attained his
honor. He was stationed at the barracks
near St. Louis, and being a good reader,
it occurred to him that he would read
the Bible to his regiment every Sunday.
But it soon grew stupid to have only a
gang of rude, illiterate soldiery, many
of them foreigners, hear so floe a reader;
he felt that it was wasting sweetness
on the desert air, or putting pearls be
fore swine. Accordingly he sent invi
tations to the ladies to come out and
hear him read. That being a period
when most feminines had brass buttons
on the brain, we can readily see how
the invitations were acoepted, and, on
Sunday, when the regiment was drawn
up in rank and file, and a goodly num
ber of feminines were on the spot, the
following scene occurred :
Fiske had read with considerable
gusto, amid a deathlike stillness, the
account of the contest of Sampson with
the Philistines, and the report of the
victory.
Scarce had he concluded when a pri
vate stepped from the ranks, saluted his
chaplain, and said, " I'd like to see that
book, sir."
The chaplain handed it to him, and,
amid an unbroken quiet, he read the
passage slowly to himself, shut up the
book and handed it back.
"What did you do that for ?" said
the chaplain.
"Oh, only out of curiosity," was the
reply.
"Now, sir, tell me what was your mo
tive in taking the Bible from me, and
reading that passage to yourself?"
"Why," replied the private, "I want
ed to see if that dispatch was signed
John Pope."
Sold and Done For
In a gambling hell on Grand street a
number of dumb-bells graced a corner
of the apartment where, at two P M.,
chowder lunch was in progress. Many
of the lunchers exercised with the
twenty-five and fifty-pound bells, but
the hundred-pound bell defied all until
an unpolished countryman, unobserved
hitherto, lifted it with ease, held it at
arm's length, and returned to his
chowder as though nothing had hap
pened. At this exciting stage a party
of three entered, who, in turn,
were attracted by the irresistible
bells, and in vain attempted toraise the
hundred pounder. Their inability
proved the occasion for one of them
making the bet that no one present
could perform the feat. Two exquis
itely accoutred young men, who shall
be named Algernon Sold and De Cour
sey Donefor, and who had seen the
countryman's performance previous to
the entrance of the betting party, at once
took up the bet, the $2OO being handed
over to the bar-tender. The country
man was then found and requested
to repeat his performance. He oblig
ingly spat upon his muscular Christian
right hand; he grasped the hundred
pounder; he raised it six inches from
the ground and let ;it fall! "What,
Can't your raise it?" faltered,,- Sold.
"No l l - answered ~..the - countryman.
" Why, you raised it a little while ago,"
whined Donefor. "My ; but 'a can't
do it' noo," said the rustic, and walked
off with his hands In his pocket& The
two friends disappeared almost as ex
peditiously, the $2OO was handed over
to the winning party, and ten minutes
thereafter the countryman had his share
of the money.—N. Y. Tribune.

Bow the Casila of Breda was Captured,
The following graphic account of the
capture of Breda, from the third volume
of Motley's History of the United Neth
erlands, which has just been issued,
reads like a romance:
Early in 1890, the United Provinces
were as yet by no means mastera .of
their own territory. • Several of their
chief cities sided with Philip. Among.
them was Breda, a fair and pleasant
town, lying on the Merk, a slender
stream, which was navigable only for
small vessels, and an important strate
gical position. One Of the fiat attempts
of Maurice was to recover this city, and
to drive the Spaniards from a post of so
much value.
The accomplishment of this purpose
is related In the commencement of the
volume, forming one of the numerous
spirited episodes with which Mr. Mot
ley enlivens the course of hie regrdar
narrative. In the month of February,
1500, Maurice received a secret visit
from a boatman namen Adrian van der
Berg, who had long been in the habit of
supplying the castle of Breda with turf.
In the absence of woods and coal mines
this was the prevailing fuel of the coun
try. The skipper represented that his
vessel had passed so often in and out of
the castle as to behardly liable tosearch
on its entrance. He suggested a strat
agem for the surprise of the stronghold,
which was accepted by the Prince.
Sixty-eight trusty men were chosen for
the purpose, and put under the com
mand of Captain Charles de Heraugiere,
a nobleman of Cambray who had long
been in the service of the States. The
other officers of the party were Cap
tains Logier and Fervet, and Lieuten
ant Held, whose names are still fresh in
the memory of their countrymen.
At about eleven o'clock, on the night
of February 25, by the feeble light of a
waning,moon. Heraugiere and his band
came to the ferry, as agreed upon, to
meet the boatman. But they found
neither him nor his vessel, and wan
dered about half the night in the cold,
perplexed and indignant. At lust, on
their way back, they came upon the
skipper at a little village, who made the
excuse that he had overslept himself,
and feared that the plot had been dis
covered. It was too late to do anything
that night, and they agreed to meet the
next evening. None of the parties sue.
petted treachery, though it was plain
that the skipper had grown faint
hearted. He did not come tile next
night to the appointed place, but sent
two nephews, boatmen like himself,
whom he described as perfect dare
devils. The sequel shall be related in
Mr. Motley's own words, which so well
illustrate his remarkable power of
graphic narrative:
On Monday night, the 26th of February,
the seventy went on board the vessel, which
was apparently filled with blocks of turf,
and packed themselves closely In the hold.
They moved slowly during a little time on
their perilous voyage; for the winter wind,
thick with fog and sleet, blew directly down
the river, bringing along with it huge blocks
of ice and scooping the water out of the
dangerous shallows, so as to render the
vessel at any momeatliable to be stranded.
At last the navigation. became impossible
and they came to a standstill. From Mon
day night till Thursday morning those
seventy Hollanders lay packed like herrings
in the hold of their little vessel, suffering
from hunger, thirst, and deadly cold; yet
not one cif them attempted to escape or
murmured a wish to abandon the enter
prise. Even when the third morning dawn -
ed there was no better prospect of proceed
ing; for the remorseless east wind still blew
a gale against them, and the shoals which
beset their path had become more danger
ous than ever. It was, however, absolutely
necessary to recruit exhausted nature, un
less the adventurers were to drop powerless
on the threshold when they should at last
arrive at their destination. In all secrecy
they went ashore at a lonely castle called
Nordam, where they remained to refresh
themselves until about 11 at night, when
one of the boatmen came to them with the
intelligence that the wind had changed and
was now blowing freshly in from the sea.
Yet the voyage of a few leagues, on which
they were embarked, lasted nearly two
whole days longer. On Sli,turd ay afternoon
they passed through the last sluice, and at
about 3 o'clock the last boom was shut be
hind them. There was no retreat possible
for them now. The 70 were to take the
strong castle and City of Breda,or lay down
their lives, every man of them. No quarter
and short shnift—such was their certain
destiny, should the half-crippled, half
frozen little band not succeed in their task
before another sunrise,
They were now in the Outer harbor and
not far from the Watergate which led into
the inner castle-haven. Presently an officer
of the guard put off in a skiff and came on
board the vessel. He held a little conver
sation with the two boatmen, observed that
the castle was much in want of fuel, took
a survey of the turf with which the ship
was apparently laden, and then lounged
into the little cabin. Here he was only
separated. by a sliding trap-door from the
interior of the vessel. Those inside could
hear and see his every movement. Had
there been a single cough or sneeze from
within, the true character of the cargo, then
making its way into the castle, would have
been discovered and every man would
within ten 'ninnies have. been butchered.
But the officer, unsuspecting, soon took his
departure, saying that be would send some
men to warp the vessel into the castle dock.
Meantime, as the adventurers were mak
ing their way slowly toward thewater-gate,
they struck-upon a hidden obstruction in
the river and the deeply laden vessel sprang
a leak. In a few minutes those inside were
sitting up to their knees in water— a cir
cumstance which scarcely improved their
already sufficiently dismal condition. The
boatman vigorously plied the pumps to
save the vessel, from sinking outright; a
party of Italian soldiers soon arrived on
the shore, and in the coarse of a couple of
hours they had laboriously dragged the
concealed Hollanders into the inner harbor,
and made their vessel fast, close to the
guard-house of the castle.
And now a crowd of all aorta came on
board. The Winter nights had been long
and fearfully cold, and there was almost a
dearth of fuel both in town and fortress. A
gang of laborers set to work discharging the
turf from the vessel with such rapidity that
the departing daylight began to shine in
upon toe prisoners much sooner than they
wished. Moreover the thorough wetting, to
which after all their other inconveniences
they had just been exposed in their narrow
escape from foundering, had set the whole
party sneezing and coughing. Never was
a catarrh so sudden, so universal, or so ill
timed. Lieut. Held, unable to control the
violence of his cough, drew his dagger
and eagerly implored his next neigh
bor to stab hint to the heart, lest his
infirmity should lead to the discovery of the
whole party. But the calm and wary
skipper who stood on the deck instantly
commanded his companion to work at the
pump with as much clatter as possible, as
suring the persons - present that the' hold
was nearly full of water. By this means
the noise of the coughing was effectually
drowned. Most thoroughly did the bold
boatman deserve the title ot dare-devil, be
stowed by his more fainthearted uncle.
Calmly looking death in the face, he stood
there quite at his ease, exchanging Jokes
With his old acquaintances, chattering with
the eager purchasers of peat, shouting most
noisy and superfinnus orders to the one
man who composed big crew, doing his ut
most, in short, to get'rid nf his customers
and to keep enough of the turf on board to
conceal the conspirators.
At last, when the case seemed' almost
desperate, he loudly declared that sufficient
had been unladen tor. that evening and that
it was too dark and he too tired .for farther
work. So, giving a handful of savers
among_ the workmen, he bade them go
ashore at .once and.have some beer and
come nextmorningfer thereat of the cargo.
Fortunately, they, accepted his hospitable
preposition and tOoktheir departure. Only

straight to the guard hones.

A friend," replied the captain, seizing
him by the throat, and commanding him,-
if lie valued his life, to keep silence except
when addressed and then to speak in a
whisper.
"How many are there in the garrison 7 4 '
muttered Heraugiere.
"Three hundred and fifty," whispered
the sentinel. -
"How many?" eagerly demanded the
nearest followers, not hearing the reply. ,
"He says there are but fittyof them,"•
said Herauglere, prudently stippressink the
three hundred, in order to encourage his'
comrades.
Quietly as they bud made their approach,
there was nevertheless a stir in the gnard-
house. The captain of the watch sprang
into the courtyard,
" Who goes there?" he demanded in his
turn.
"A.friend," again replied Heraugiere,
striking him dead with a single blow as
he spoke.

Othersemerged with torches. Herangiere
was slightly wounded, but succeeded, after
a brief struggle, in killing a second assail
ant. His followers set upon the watch who
retreated into the guard-house, Hentugiere
commanded his men to fire through the
doors and windows, and in a few minutes
every one of the enemy lay dead.
It was not a moment for making prison
ers or speaking of quarter. Meantime Fer
vet and his band bad not been idle. The
magazine -house of the castle was seized, its
defenders slain. Young Lanzavecchla made
a sally from the palace, was wounded and
driven back together with a few of his ad
herents.
The rest of the garrison fled helter-skelter
Into the town. Never had the musketeers
of ltaly—for they all belonged to Spinela's
famous Sicilian Legion—behaved so badly.'
They did not even take the precaution to
destroy the bridge between the castle and
the town as they fled panic-stricken before
seventy Hollanders. Instead of encourag
ing the burghers to their support they spread
dismay, as they ran, through every street.
Young Lauzavecchla, penned into a corner
of the castle began to parley ; hoping for a
rally before a surrender should be neces
sary. In the midst of the negotiation-and
a couple of hours before dawn, Hoherdo,
duly apprised by the boatman, arrived with
the vanguard of Maurice's troops before the
field gate of the fort. A vain attempt was
made to force this portal open, but the
Winter's ice had fixed it fast. Hohenlo was
obliged to batter down the palisade near the
water-gate and enter by the same road
through which the fatal turf-boat had
passed.
Soon after he had marched into the town
at the head of a strong detachment, Prince
Maurice himself arrived in great haste, at
tended by Philip Nassau the Admiral Jos
anus Nassau, Count Scams, Peter Van dec
Does, and Sir Francis Vere, and followed
by another body of picked troops; the mu
sicians playing merrily that national air,
then as now so dear to Netherlanders—
" Wilhoimtus van Nassouwen
Ben ick van Dnytsem blood." -
Tne fight was over. Some forty of the gar
rison had been killed, butnot a man of the
attacking party. The burgomaster sent a
trumpet to the prince asking permission to
come to the castle to arrange a capitulation;
and before sunrise, the city and fortress of
Breda had surrendered to the authority of
the States-General and of his Excellency.
The New Eatanswlll
When will Philadelphia cease to be a
village? When will that huge rectan
gular agglomeration of brick and mortar
rise above the level of Eatansville ? Mr.
Dickens, now we believe In Philadel
phia, might do a public service, to us at
least who have to read newspapers,
however dull and trivial, by reciting a
new chapter of Pickwick, that on vil
lage periodicals. This eminent charac
teristic of a small community, small, we
mean, in its intellectual resources and
its aims, has been brought to our mind
by the following editorial which we cut
from the Evening Bulletin, a Radical,
and, we believe, fashionable organ in
the city prohpuder, of brotherly love :
A Lancaster, Pa., newspaper of yester
day's date sets forth the fact that Mi. Wm.
B. Reed, of this city, is on a visit to Mr.
James Buchanan, at Wheatland. Visitors
' to Wheatland are not numerous and it is
eminently proper that Mr. Reed should go
thither occasionally. But what a study the
arena in the 'ex-Presidential parlor would
present for the appreciative artist. The
pogo feeble failure of a President and the
cold and polished Mephistophiles who is so
fit a representative of the class which en
trapped him in the snare, that there were
neither brains, pluck, nor patriotism to en
able him to escape from 1 History will do
full justice to both subjects, and happily
both examples may serve to warn future
statesmen to steer clear of the rooks that in
the case of these two well-knoamPennsyl
vanians have made shipwreck of splendid
promise and golden opportunities.
That a Lancaster paper, it being a
conceded village, should chronicle the
momentous fact of Mr. Reed's visit to
Wheatland is natural enough. If in
ancient days, Mr. O'Conor, or Mr. Cu
tting or any eminent professional mart
of New York, had visited an ex-Presi
dent at Lindenwold, Kinderhook might
have. announced it, but certainly no
Metropolitan journal would have de
meaned itself by making the private
intercourse of gentlemen the sub
ject of vulgar and malignant comment.
Not so Philadelphia. Its press—at least
one portion of it—cannot for the life of
it rise to the level of gentlemanly de
meanor, and we very much fear this
style of vulgar, personal scurrility suits
the mass of loyal readers in that most
loyal community. We do not imagine
that the personal relatiOns of Mr. R
chanan and Mr. Reed will be much in
terrupted by these cavils. It is at least
a disinterested intercourse now. It is
the intercourse of intelligence and re
finement. It is, in short the inter
course of gentlemen which he or
they who can write such stuff as we
have quoted cannot be expected to ap
preciate. There are two persons corn
morant in the Philadelphia village who,
we venture to say, would not dare to
put their dirty feet over the threshold of
Wheatland, and those are the chief ed
itors of the Bulletin and Press—"both
daily." One is just fit to dog the steps
ofgentlemen into whose companionstup
tie would.not venture to intrude, and
the other to suborn negro servants to
reveal the secrets of private dinner
parties, from which a social quarantine
excluded such as he who wrote the
Roberta letter.—N. Y. World.

• Whit •C•risie in our national affairs de

done for which, the plea of necessity was
urged 'and admitted, for then the plea was
et least intelligible. -- But whatdoes it mean
now? In what quarter does any such im
perative necessity for extreme measures
exist? The rebellion is over. The Govern
ment Iseult's; No armed hostility threatens
it with overthrow. Flo public peril over
hangs the nation which can only be averted
by the extremest 'measures which desperate
States even dream otresurting to.
And without some such. necesaity, • the
Republican party cannot vindicate itself
beforethe people, or retain the power Which,
without sufficient warrant, theythus assert

Singular Death from Inhaling Chloro
Yesterday afternoon, a girl named Lizzie
Riley, aged 12 years, who had been an in
mate of the City Hospital for several
months, suffering from carves-diseased
bones in the foot—while undergoing a sur
gical operation died suddenly of paralysis
of the heart. the had been placed under
the Influence of chloroform previous to the
operation, and aner the administratloa of
the chloroform, which was given by an as
sistant of Dr. Bayless, who performed the
operation, had ceased, conscionenss return
ed, and the girl spoke, saying: "You hurt
my foot, and I will tell father." The
operation was by no means a severe one,
and when her condition was observed every
means were tried to resuscitate- her, but
without avail. A singular featdre in the
case was, that she continued to lireatheler
some moments after her heart had ceased
to beat. On Friday last she took a greater
quantity of chloroform, and was longer un
der its influence, but her foot not being in a
proper condition, the operation was. post
poned. It is proper to state,the chloroform
used yesterday was from' a new - bottle that
had Just been opened. The case is one ,of
the moat singular in the annals of theprac
lice of surgery. Coroner Moore last night
held a post mortem examination,' and will
complete the inquest to-day. The child's
mother is dead and her father is absent;
she, however, has friends in this city.—

A Brave Engineer Billed in the Dis
charge of His Duty.
A few days ako, says the Pottsville Stan
dard, as the engine Manatawny was taking
two passenger cars to. St. Clair, one of the
parallel rods connecting the driving wheels
of the engine broke short off. The train was
at the time passing the car shop above the
round house, at Palo Alto. The fireman,
Stephen Rehr, jumped uti; and told the
engineer, Michael Salmon, to do the same,
but the brave engineer whistled " down
brakes," and reversed the engine. The'
rod struck the boards of the house under
hie feet, knocking them to splinters, and
breaking off some of the stay-bolts of the
boiler. Salmon fell through the hole to the
ground, when he was struck, as Is sup
posed, by the engine Virginia, which was
passing with another train, and knocked
under the wheels of his own train, which
passed over him. One of his arms was cut
off, the other arm broken, and his back and
head badly cut and bruised. He was taken
into the round house, andanrgical aid sum
moned, but be died in a few minutes. He
was an old and experienced engineer, and
bore an excellent character. His heroic
conduct in endeavoring to save the lives of
his passengers at the risk of his own, le de
serving of the highest commendation. Such
a man is a hem indeed, more deserving of
the title than any man who slays his fellow
beings on the field of battle. Michael Sal
mon deserves a monument, and his family
and friends may cherish his memory with
pride.
