O When on the ni:ht of February 8. 18G4, Colonel Uoae completed the tunnel at Libbv 1 rison, through' which sixty-one Union soldiess es enned to the Federal lines, Captain rank h. Moran of the Seventy- third ew iork reeiment, then prisoner there, cot an inkling of what was sroina on and hurried to join the crowd . pf fugitives. While hundreds were preying tor prece dence at the narrow mouth of the tunnel, the cry of "guards" was raised. A stampede followed. Not withstanding the panic no guards appeared and Captain Moran has tenea back towards the opening. hat betell him is related in an ex- tremelv entertaining article in the 'hiladelphia Weekly limes, from which article the subjoined extracts are taken : I squeezed mvself feet first through the narrow aperture in the fire place nd found that the opormg lt d in a descending slant from the hack of the fire place , through the chimney nd into the east cellar, which was divided from the cellar containing the cells by a wall. Thece cells were directly under the kitchen at the front of the building and were alternately used for the confinement of hostages, troublesome prisoners and Union spies under death sen tence. They were floorless closets about ten or twelve feet square. A small stream of light poured into them a part of the day from a nar row grated window half sunken in the sidewalk above. Ihev were guarded by special sentinels, were alive with enormous rats antl the air in them was sickening. From these dreadful cages many a brave fellow went forth to death. A thick wall divided this from the east cel lar under the hospital room, ami it was in the east wail of this cellar that the tunnel proper began. SVBIiOrNDED BY BATS. Finding the sh: rt fns-rn.ent of a bh.riket rope hai.ging fmm the top of the opening, I let my feet down, hoping to touch bottom, but found none, ami as my bruised hand ami shoulder made it impossible to hang long I ba'anct d myself for a fall, whither and to what depth I knew not, for it was a rayless pit of dark ness. With a sortof faith in fortune I shut my eyes and teeth and in the name of liberty let go. Thanks to my thoughtful comrades I fell into a huge pile of straw, and after roll ing over two or three times I found mvself in the darkness among hun dreds of squealing rats, and before I could recover my equilibrium a score of the repulsive creatures ran over me. tximplying with my instruc tions I placed my back to the wall near where I dropped and waded knee deep toward tbe opposite wall through the straw that covered the cellar. The place seemed to be per fectly alive with rats that fought, squealed and tore each other and thumped against my ankle at every step. At last I reached the wall and ran my hand along the cold, damp sur face in search of the opening to the tunnel. In this mariner I groped along until I reached the southeast corner, and believing that I mu6t have passed the hole 1 made my way back in the same way, feeling the wall with increased anxiety and caution. 1 stopped a dozen times to listen for some friendly token from my friendly comrades who had long since preceded me, but no sound could be heard but the horrible chorus of the rats. The thought of failure began to harass me. as did the fear that I should be forced to pass the night in the loathsome place. Great beads of perspiration came out on my forehead when I thouzht f being found by the Ithrouh my.blandering the tunnel would be discovered, that had cost such heroic labor, and that I should be loaded with the disgrace of de priving hundreds of my lellow pris oners of their liberty. In this train of oppressiiit, thoughts came the re membrance .that this had at one time been th "dead cellar," where bodies from tpe hospital room above it used to le boxed up prior to burial. Thev revolting idea that the Union deiul should ever Jiave been left, even temporarily, in such a place sicken me, and I would have given a fortune at that miserable moment for a friendly stream of light and a blessed breath of fresh air. 1 thought I had already sur veyed an acre of wall and was on the border of despair when to my boundless joy ,my hand fell ujon a pair ot heels 1 knew they were live heels, fdr! I had no sooner touched them ; than they vanished like magic in ihe wall. . " Who's thqro?" said a voice, as if from a gr.ive. . "Moran," I-janswered, "from th Gettysburg room. Who are you?'' "Charley Iforgan," the sepulchral voice responded, " from the Cbicka. mauga rwnij Arc the rtbs com i.g?: , " No. . Go ahead and make room for me," said and away went the heels, after seiding a shower of dirt into both my eyes. The hole appeared as I advanced to have an average diameter of about two feet. At times we appeared to be desccndinantl again we seemed to rise. The earth was clammy cold and the air foil and suffocating. My bruibod shoulder got rough usage as I wedged myself forward on my hainis and ijtce. The hole grew narrower a advanced and not withstanding $iy slight form 1 found myself more tan once in tin posi tion of the fat.Tnan who had preced ed me. Morgan unhappily took a violent cramp in one of his leg. and to relieve his distress I pulled olf his shoe- This .proved a somewLui troublesome charge, fur in order t save it for its owner I had to push it ahead of me at I crawled onward. The length of the tunnel seemed in terminable. I was gasping for breath and my shoulder was paining dreadfully. It seemed as if we were lost in some horrible grave. PUKjf AIR AT LAST. I was struck with the wonderful clearness with which all sounds were transmitted through the passage, as if we were encompassed by metallic instead of clay walls. At last, near fainting with suffocation, pain and fatigut, a ray of light gladdened my eyes and I felt the welcome blessed ness of fresh air certainly the most delicious air I have ever breathed in my wholelife. Morgan .extended his hand aud gave me a friendly wel come as I rose like an apparition to the surface of the earth, and having reached terra firm a I made a careful and minute survey of my surround ings. I was in a yard surrounding two old buildings that faced respec tively north and south. I stood about seventy feet from the eastern wall of the prison, and looking through the dilapidated fence saw the sentinels pacing their posts and by the light ot the street lamps could easily distinguish their teatures. An arched way of suili- cient width for the passage of wagons led to the street on the south that ran next to and parallel with the canal. I now noticed a third person in the yard and Morgan in a whisper introduced Lieutenant William Wat son ol Ins own company ot the Tweuty-first Wisconsin regiment. We held a hurried conference and decided to go down the street in an easterly direction, agreeing to meet at the second corner for further con sultation. We removed our shoes that we might move noiselessly and also that we might run the swifter if challenged bv the sentinels. the swamp. My two friends, mis-1 Diphtheria. taking these for my signals, bounded i t?'0"1! V,e wo,od.s like 8tartIed deer ! The following in reference to cur- ..i.uug towaru tne south side.

I could hear the crash nn-1 as our pursuers pushed their brush way into the tangled jungle. The thought of going back a captive to Uhby was like a knell of death and I lully resolved to take any chance ouuri oi actual suicide rather than K. . 4.1 T i . wen. i. nad yet heard no sound from the east side of the swamp and therefore determined upon that as the point to run the gauntlet. 1 tore through the low bog and lost my left shoe in the treacherous mire, aud to increase my speed I took off the other and threw it away, i struck a cow path running eastward and hatless and without shoes 1 fairly flew over the ground. I sprang upon the huge trunk of a fallen tree that crossed the path, and as I leaped to the ground on the opposite side a tall Confederate, concealed behind it and ho had not heard my swift and noiseless approach, sprang to his lett, leaving his carbine leaning agUnst the tree, turned and ran. Hetripped and fell flat on his face, uttering a "whoop'' like a Coman che le Indian. THE CAiTlKE. Asue lay straight in lav straight in mv mth T leaped squarely ove. hiui and al most ltto the arms of three of the Confederates, who leveled their car bines atmy head and demanded me to halt, yhile the fallen man, recov ering ha gun and his wits, came savagely toward me, gun in hand, and in ;i foghorn voice shouted : "Surrender!" amid the laughter of his coolt-rbompanions. For a few minutes looped my two comrades might meetfi Utter fate than I, but they were san in sight, attended by the guard, aal exchanged condolen ces. The Confederates hunted up my shoes fol me and treated us with considerable kindness, being soldiers and misprison guards ; they fd us liberally, from their haver sacks. They AJiuitted that our discovery in the vamp was an acci dent and a greaturprise to them, and added that w were outsiders of their post. y Xot My Il4.in.ess. ing that dreadful disease, diptheria, ! was handed a reporter with the re quest that it be published.

They are tent perate them selves in their habits kid by their example endeavor to inluence those immediately under their.care to live upright, sober lives. Iti the gen eral belief that if one doenot drink intoxicating liquors he wH not be afllicted, or if intoxicants ala sold on every corner, he will not uffer in consequence, because he k'ps out of the way ol temptation rtjid pre vents those near and dear o him from indulging in this indiscrete and foolish habit. Hence when svoken to regarding the prohibitory amend ment, he refuses to aid the Move ment, for the reason that it is not his business. If people want to drink let them drink, and thert is no use to interfear for if the drinler wants whisky he will have it x spite of al! that can be done to pre vent it.

If the patient is an adult give him a warm sitz bath ot about twenty minutes Surround him with blankets during the bath, so as to favor perspiration The feet should be placed in a hot toot bath 111 the meantime, and the head should be frequently wet with cool water. Afterthe bath, quickly sponge the whole body with water a little cooler than thatot the bath. Then put the patient to bed and cover him up warm. Keep the feet warm, cool the head by frequent bathing, and sponge the whole body every hour or two with tepid water if the patient is ver, feverish. If the patient is a child, warm pack will be preferable to a sitz bath. Wring a woolen sheet out of water a little more than blood warm. Spread it quickly upon the bed, place the patient upon it, and quick ly envelop him. Then wrap him snugly with dry blankets and let him sleep for half an hour if he feels so inclined, as he usually will. Follow the pack by tepid sponging. as directed after tne sitz bath. After putting the patient to bed, apply, alternately, hot fomentation and cold compresses. Fold a flan nel cloth twice, so as to give four thicknesses, wring it out of water as hot as can Be borne dry enough so that it will not drip, and apply at once to the throat. After a lapse of three to live minutes, apply a cold compress for the same length of time. Then re-apply the fomenta tion, and continue to alternate until each has been applied four or live times. 1 hen apply a cool compress, and change it as often as it becomes warm. In ordinary cases, it will be suffi cient to wet the cool compress in the coldest well water that can be ob tained; but in cases in which there is great irritation of the throat, snow or pounded ice should be applied, being placed letween the folds of the compress. By all means avoid the use of all of those caustic applications which are so commonly employed in this disease. When white patches ap pear in the back part of the mouth, touch them every two or three hours with pure letnou juice, using a swab of soft linen or sponge attached to the end of a lead pencil or a small stick. If the patient is old enough, some relief will be given by using a gar gle of water acidulated with vine gar. Another excellent gargle which destroys the vegetable parasites al ways present in this disease is a so lution of permanganate of potash. The crystal can be obtained of any druggist. Place two or three in a glass of water, and stir until they are dissolved. The fluid should not be taken into the stomach, though no harm will result if a few drops are swallowed. A very favorite remedy with many physicians is the inhalation of the vapor of warm vinegar. The vine gar may ne neated in a coiiee pot. and inhaled from the nozz.e.

Vanderbilt takes pride are housed in a manner befitting the pets of the richest man in America. A Tribune reporter visited Mr. Vanderbilt's stable at Forty-second street and .Madison in sio, Avenue recently.! and was shown through the build j a,! mg. tntermg irom the office, the visitor found himself in a spacious room. It was just after dark, and numerous gas jets were burning around the walls, the light stream ing through porcelain gloltes, each ornamented with a broad band in the centre ol which was a horse's head. Walls, floor and ceiling w ere all polished wood; cherry, ash and black walnut being arranged in strips and pannels in a way that brought out the beauties of each to the best advantage. In one place is a long mirror reflecting the line of sombre and stately coaches oppo site, and in another a case of nickle plated bits on a back ground of black velvet hung glittering on the wall. A set of English hunting scenes, and oil portraits of Maud S. and Fullerton in heavy guilt frames relieved the bareness of the ash walls. In the corner, on a platform of cement, a stableman was washing a light wagon which had been whirl ed over the road that afternoon be hind Aldine and Early Kose. The stable implements which lay arouud him flashing in the gas light with their heavy mountings of polished brass, and the pail in which he dip ped his sponge was decorated with a big brass monogram. There was no scent of the stable in the air. The noises of the horses in the stalls a few feet away could scarcely be heard through the thick walls and heavy doors of black walnut and plate glass. Only the man at work on the long line of coaches against the wall gave the large, well proportioned and really elegant apartment any appearance! of connection with a stable.

Watson went off first and was followed in about ten minutes by Morgan. As they moved away I closely watchsd . the two nearest guards, who at the time halted on their posts and gazed together after the retreating forms of my two friends. I resolved should thev show a sign of firing to shout an alarm to my comrades and dash down the street after them. Kut the guards appeared to have no sus picion that they were Yankees and without anv audible comment re garding them resumed the pacing of their post. Feeling this to be mv opportunity I stepped from thei arched way and leisurely followed in the wake of my friends. It would be difficult to convex' to one who has not shared in a like experience a clear idea of the peculiar sensa tion I felt when, after an imprison ment of over six months. I first found mvself in the open fresh air and drank in the first fragrant breat'i of my liberty; and yet I felt a pang of regret as I turned irresistibly to ofik at the gnm walls ot Libby, where I was leaving, perhaps for ever, many 01 the gallant leuows. tne most- valued - friends of my life. There came at the moment to my mind the touching words of Bonni vurd, Byron's "Prisoner of Chil-lon:" " Yet stranpe to tell. In quiet we had learned to dwell My very chains and I grew friends, So much a Ung communion tends To make lis what we are : Even I Kegained my freedom with a sigli." - I followed the trail of the Confed erates to the border of the open field, which afforded a clear view ef not less than a half a mile to the north. A small farm house Ptood in sight at a distance which I estimated at a thousand yards, but not a man was in sight or hearing. The sud den disappearance of the party, whom I knew could not have reach ed the house in so brief a time, was greater or less degree a deep interest in prohibition. As an illustration of this, we quote the following from one of our exchanges, giving an ac count of an incident which happen ed in St. Louis some days ago : A wealthy man in fet. Jx)Uis was asked to aid in a series of temper ance meetings, but he scornfully re fused. After being further pressed he said : "Gentlemen, it is not my business." A few days after his wife and two daughters were coming home in the lightning express. In hisgrand car riage, with liveried attendants, he rode to the depot, thinking of his splendid business and planning for the morrow. Hark! Did someone say "Accident?"' There are twenty five railroads centering in St. Louis. If there has been an accident it is not likely it has happened on the anil Mississippi railroad, i Yet it troubles him. It is "his busi-1 ness" now. The horses are stopped on the instant, and upon inquiry he finds it has occurred twenty-five miles distant, on the and Mississippi. He telegraphs to the superintendent : lime is slacked in a vessel. These Measures will often give great relief. The sick room should be well ven tilated, in order to carry away as rapidly as possible the foul germs which result from the disease, and thus prevent their re-absorption into the blood. Thedietshould be plain and light, though should be given to sustain the nutrition of the patient. Oatmeal gruel and mild fruit are usu illj well received. Milk may be employed when the patient is accus tomed to its use. The same regu larity in meals should be observed as in health. Not long since a seven year old son of one of our preachers, after ser vice was over and the family had returned home from church, re marked : "Papa, do you ever look at me while you are preaching?" the lather, thinking he was a ht- supposed neglect, re- I tit, linet K,. plied "Certainly, my son ; I often look at you when I am preaching." "But, to-day, did vou notice me at all?" "Yes, I did, several times," said the father. "Well, papa, did ym see me wink at you two or three "times?" "No, my son ; what did you wink at me for when I was preaching?" "I winked at you, papa, to get you to stop; you were spinning it too Even when some famous trotter comes into the stable, fresh Iroin some new exploit on the road, or the stout coach horse3 comes in chain ing their bits and rattling their har ness heavy with silver, the wheels of the light wagon or heavy coach roll on a broad strip of carpet, stretched diagonally acros3the floor, and there is no din or tumult. ljooking into the harness room, large cases, with fronts of plate glass, extending on all sides, were seen. The walls of the room above the cases were of plate glass, antl the light from the courtyard stream ed through in a flood upon theshin- lng black and gleaming silver of the harnesses. Here were all sorts of harnesses, from the plain affair whose only ornament was the mon ogram of Mr. Vanderbilt, to those in which the leather was almost hid den by a profusion of heavy silver decorations. At the command of Mr. Phelps, the superintendent of the stable, two grooms rolled back two immense sliding doors, and a dim lit apartment roofed by a dome of glass, was entered. Up and down the centre on the hard cement floor, were arranged a row of light vehi cles and around them extended a tanbark track. This is called the walking track, and here the horse? are exercised. The red pressed brick walls of this place were hung with pictures of hunting scenes and cele brated horses which, with their bits of color showing in the semi-obscu rity, produced a pleasant and stri king effect. The most interesting part of the stable, however, was that devoted to the horses. Here the light from the numerous gas jets showed long lines of box stalls of light find polished wood trimmed with black walnut. Beyond was a line of open stalls where stood the powerful black car riage horses, r-ven here there wa Among tho cases appealed to the Supreme Court and argued at its sit ting in Philadelphia last spring, was that of Panttz et al., vs. Mcllvain el al. The delendanU below and plain tiffs in error live near the Gap, in Lancaster county, and are engaged in the business of farming. As such they were the owners of a stallion, about two years old, which, on June "th. broke out of the lam yard where he was enclosed, and pot on to the public road, where lie was running loose. Mrs. I.antz, the plaintiff below, in company with a friend, was driving alon-j the rc-ad, when they saw the stallion coining down the road, but not knowing that he was .1 stallion. .When they met, the stallion immediately U'gan to r?ar up on their horse, on Vie right a id left side and in front.

The court was re quested to charge if the jury believe that at the time the defendant s horse broke out of their barnyard it was enclosed by such a fence as is common among farmers, and usually considered safe to confine the farm stock, including such a horse as that of the defendants, they were not guilty of negligence and the plaint iff cannot recover." The court refused to so instruct the jury. In this we see no error. The fact that the fence may have been such as is common among farmers and usually considered safe does not take from the jury the right b find, under all the evidence, whether the fence was sufficient. The evidence was conflicting as to the height of the fence and not clear as to its condition otherwise. The fact was undisputed that the colt jumped over it.
