A ROMAJSTIC ESCAPE. Twentv-two yean ao John Boyle O'Keillr, now editor ot ine uobwu Pilot, "enlisted in the Pnnce of Wales' regiment, the Tenth Hussars. He was then about nineteen years of age. A well eduoated boy,of ardent temperament, and einoerely devoted to the Iriwh caute, be lid what be could in the regiment to promote the revolutionary movement that began in 176 J. His connection with the Fenian imfcrrectioouts was dis covered, he was arrested, tried and cooricUd of high treason, and he was sentenced in July 15GG, to im prisonment fir Jifa. This sentence was afterward commuted to penal servitude for tweDty years. Reiilv cnrot about a year ia the Engosn prisons, working in Xhe chain ganes In November ,lbG7, he was trans ported to ,WAustralia in the con vict ship Hougoumont, crowded with Mjdb.

The true story was not known until Mr. O'Reilly sad been i this country for ten years 6t more," when time had removed U danger of inculpat ing certain friends who risked much in assisting hi in to freedom. In tb list of absoonders printed early in 18G9 in the official Police Gazette of West Anrtralia there ap peared this paragraph : "2 John li. O'Reilly. Hepstered number. 9.843. Imperial convict; arrived in Colour Pr convict ship Hougoumont in sentented to twenty years 9th July, 1SG6. De-ncriDUen-Hoilthy aMearance; preS- Mt AM 2i veara: 5 feet 7i inches irh. black hair, brown eyes, oval viage, dark complexion ; an Irish man. Absconded from convict road party, Bunbury, on the 18th of Feb ruary, IWJ. The man to whom Bovle O Reiliy w?i hi liberty was a priest, the Mt-v. Patrick McCabe. "whose parish extended over hundreds of miles of buwh, and whose only parishioners were convicts and ticket-of-leave men." : He was a scholar and gen tleman of rare accomplishments, -almost always in the saddle, riding alone from camp to carap,and sleep ing in Lis blanket under the trees at night." We continue the quotation from Mr. O Iieilly s own narrative. "One day this remarkable man rode to my hut, and we walked to gether into the bush. I had then made all my plans for escape, and I freely told him my intention. "It's an excellent way to commit sui cide," he said ; and would not speak of it any more. As he was leaving me, however, he leaped from the saddle and said : "Don't think of that again. Let me think out a plan fur you. You'll hear from me be fore long." "He went away and I waited weeks aud months and never beard a word. I was not compelled to work with the criminal gang on the roads, but bad charge of their stores, and carried the warder's weekly re port to the Budbury depot Final ly, one day on my way with this re port, I came to a plain known as the Race Course. As I crossed I heard a coo-ee, or bush cry, and saw a man coming toward me. He was a big, handsome fellow, with an axe on his shoulder. He came to me with a friendly smile. "My name is Ma guire,' he said ; 'I am a friend of Father Mac's, and he's been speak ing about you.' Seeing my hesita tion he drew a card from his wallet, on which Father McCabe bad writ ten a tew words to rue. Then I trusted him." This was in December, 1S6S. Some American whalers were ex pected to touch at Bunbury in Feb ruary for water. After two months of suspense, news came to O'Reilly of the arrival of the barks. Maguire announced that he had arrauged with the captain of one of the whal ers, the Vigilant, of New Bedford to cruise for two or three days just out side of Australian waters, and take the fugitive on board from a email boat On the night of February 18. O'Reilly waited until the warder had visited his but, put on a pair of Freeman's shoes, as the trackers could easiK discern the mark of a regulation convict's boot, and struck into the bush; "About 11 o'clock I came to the old convict station, lay down behind an old gum tree at the roadside. In half an bour or so two men rode up, but they passed on ; they were farm ers, probably, or maybe a patrol of mounted police. Shortly after I heard horses coming at a sharp trot Thay baited near me and I heard "Patrick's Day" whistled clear and low. In an instant I was with them Maguire and another friend, M . They led a spare horse. I mounted at once, and without a word we struck into the bush at a gallop. For hours w e rode on in silence." They reached the shore, found a small boat ready for them, and pulled about forty miles along the ccast to a point where tbey expect ed to meet the New Bedford whaler. No one had thought to bring food or water, and for twenty-four hours or more the sufferings of the party were intense. At 1 o'clock on the third day they made out the Vigi lant under full sail, steering north. They pulled toward her with light beans: "She was steering straight toward us, so we stopped pulling and wait ed for her." But we were bound to be wofullv disappointed. When she was within two miles of our boat she fell off several points, as if to avoia us. every one "tared in amazement Maguire kept saying tht Captain Baker bad given his word as a man, and he could not be lieve that he would break it One of the men stood up in the boat and pare - a loud bail that must have been beard on board. No answer. Again be bailed, and we all joined in the shout. No answer. It only seemed that the Vigilant turned a point further from us. At last she came abreast of our boat She was then about three miles distant Ma guire hoisted a white shirt on the end of an oar. i&d we shouted again. But the Vigilant passed on, and left our boat to its fate.'' They landed on the beaeb, and O'Reilly a friends went back to Bun bury, promising to return in, week, and leaving him hiding in a seclud ed sand valley dose to the shore. He climbed a tree and caught an opossum, and also captured a few kangaroo Ui. These animals tup plied him with food. After three days CEeilly still believing that Captain Liitt must be craiaog for bin somewhere oft the coast, revolv ed to make another attempt to board the whaler, ; The rowboat was too heavy for aim to pull alone. Six or seven miles further up the beach he found an old dory, half buried in the MHLT&r the, ry out, launched it, made it water tight by plugging the cracks with paper bark, and put to sea alone. "Before night I bad passed the headland, and was on the Indian ocean. I knew there was a current going northward. Next morning I gave up pulling, and sat down to watch and wait. It was very hot Th. aim flamed above and the re- ine sun uamcu .7" V; . "I caught it in Luzerne county flectionl from the water was scorch-f J S explained, as be stop in.

Alter that secona Diner uir pointment O'Reilly lelt his sana vsllev no more. He slept most of the time for five days, aud then Ma-, guire came back with the good news that Father McCabe bad arranged for O'Reilly's passage on ano-her New Bedford whaler, the Gazelle, Captain Gifibrd. But Maguire alao brought an unwelcome traveling companion in the person of a crimi nal convict one Martin Bowman, a ticket-of-leave man, and one of the worst characters in the colony. Bow man, had discovered the means of O'Reilly's escape, and had threaten ed to put the police on the track un less he was taken off too : "That night we slept little, some one always keeping an eye on Bow man. We were up at daybreak, and soon after we were afloat We pulled straight out toward the head land, as Captain Gifford had instruc ted. By noon we saw the two whaleships coming along with a fine breeze. Toward evening we heard a hail, and somebody shouted my name, and cried out, "Couie on board!" We were all overjoyed. We pulled alongside, and 1 was helped cut of the boat by the strong arms of Henry Hathaway, the third mate. Captain Gilford made me welcome, and gave me a place in the cabin. Martin Bowman, the es caped criminal, was snt forward among the crew. "Six months afterward, when the Gazelle touched at Itoderique, an Enelish island in the Indian ocean, the governor came aboard, searching for an escaped convict irom Austral ia, a black-haired man.' I was standing with Mr. Husey,the mate, when thegovernormadethedemand. Mr. Hussey said that no such per son was on board. The governor answered that he had information that a man bad escaped on the Ga zelle. Mr. Hussey feared that they might seize the ship, so he said that .... ... i if a man ol that description, wno nau come on board off the coast of Aus tralia, might be the person. He called Bowman, whom every one on board detested, and he was put in irons and taken ashore. We knew that he would tell the whole story (the wonder is that he did not do it then : but he wished to make terms for his own release). That night the officers of the Gazelle threw over board the grindstone, with my hat, while I lay hid in the captain's cab in. A cry of 'man overboard !' was raised, a boat was lowered, and the hat picked up. 1 here were , on board some English ex-convicts who had shipped in Australia, and these only waited for a chance to get me retaken. But one of them, utterly deceived by the officers' strategy ,de clared that he saw me sink where my bat was picked up. When the governor came on board next day to demand his prisoner the flag was at half mast, and the officers sorrow fully told him that the man he prob ably wanted had jumped overboard in the night and was drowned. His policemen went among the crew and learned the same news. Two days later the Gazelle sailed from Roder- ique, and I came on deck, much to the amazement of the crew." That ended Mr. O'Reilly's adven tures. Off the Cape of Good Hope Capt Gifford handed him thirteen sovereigns, all the money he bad, and transferred bim to the Ameri can ship Sapphire. This ship took him to Liverpool, where he was pro vided with a secure hiding place xm til a passage was secured for him on the Bath ship Bombay, which land ed him in Philadelphia on Novem ber 23, 1869, nine months after he made his first break for the Austral ian bush.

A tall man, with a big ulster but toned close around him and a twen ty-pound snapping turtle slung over his 6houlder in a net, wandered aim lessly about among the fish-markets on Delaware avenue on Saturday to find a purchaser for the animal. fish, terrapins, and snappers. "It's worth $5 at least, but you can have it for $2." "Are. there many snappers caught in this state ?" was asked of the WW. when the Luzerne man had pocketed his money and disap peared. "We get some from Schuylkill, Luzerne, and Snyder counties." was the reply. "The supply is small but the quality of the meat is of the best. The principal sources of sup ply are Maryland and Delaware, and we consider the quality of the snappers from those places first-class. Of late quite a business in snapper catching has sprung up in Onio, and we get a number irom that state. The average weight is from six to twelve pounds, but we have several times received much iargerones irom Cape Cod. Not long ago we got one from there which weighed forty-five pounds." "How do they catch them ?'' "There are only two methods in general use. Snappers which are caught at this time of the year are alwayg found burrowed in the ground, where they lie dormant from about the 1st of November to the middle of March. The snapper beds or grounds are always along shallow fresh-water streams and the snap pers themselves are generally found at the bottom of the holes dug in the banks bv muskrats. The hun ters, provided with a pole, at one end of which is an iron point and at the other a hook, thrust the pointed end into the hole and if it comes in con tact with a snapper the "critter" is hooked out in an instant. The other mode, in use in summer, is to lay outlines' the hooks baited with small fresh-water fish. The lines' are looked at every few hours and the snappers removed as fast as caught" j "is there much demand for them now ?" "Not a big demand, although they are in their prime now. One reason of a light demand now is that more are eaten in the summer, about May and June, than at any other season of the year. They are some what fatter then, and often larger. It isn't however,the large ones that are mostly called for. Restaurant keepers prefer small ones, which they say make better soups ortews the only ways, 1 guess, in which snappers were intended to be ser ved." The Kiel Rebellion. Winnipeg. Man- April 1. A Free Pretvt dispatch received at 12:30 A. M. from Battleford says that Indian Instructors James Payne and Geo. E. Applegarth, from Eagle Hills, and two settlers have been killed by the Stony Indians. Settlers coming in were robbed of their horses, wagons and loads. Others are coming in from distant settle ments in a destitute condition and are collecting in the barracks, wher all are waiting help. They have plenty of provision there and can stand a siege lor some time. The wires will probably be cut and communication from Battleford be broken to-morrow. The Indians in Western Manitoba are showing signs of disquiet and will probably join the rebels. All the buildings in Battletord were pillaged and burned. It is expected that Big Bear's band and the Fort Pitt Indians will also join in the rebellion. Big Bear, with 800 warriors, is with Kiel, who is now said to have 2000 armed men, but no field pieces.

A half-naked Indian was looking on at mime workmen in the employ of the Governor of Massachusetts. 4,Vhy don't you woik and get yourself some clothes ?" asked the governor. "Why don't you work?" replied the son of the forest. 1 work head work," saJd Dudly pointing to his head. The Indian said he was willing to work, aud agreed to kill a calf for the gC'vernor. Having done so he came for his pay. tui, saia tue governor, you nave not dressed the calf." .o, said the Indian. "I wag to have a shilling for killing him. Am he no dead ?" rinding himself outwitted, the governor cave him another shilling for dressing it It wj. not long be fore the Indian cam back, demand ing a good ehilhng in place of the bad one which he claimed the gov ernor had given him. The governor paid him another. Returning the second time with still another brass piece to be changed, the governor, convinced of his knavery, offered him half a crown if he would de liver a letter for him. The letter was directed to the keeper of the prison, and ordered him to give the bearer a certain number of lashes. The Indian suspecting that all was not right, and meeting a serv ant of the governor, induced him to take the letter to its address. The result of the Indian's strategera was that a severe whipping was ad ministered to the unfortvnate serv ant. The governor was greatly chagrined at being a second time outwitted by the Indian. On fall ing in with him some time after, he accosted him with some severity, asking him bow he had dared to cheat and deceive him so many times. "Head work, head work, govern or, was the replv. Pleased at the fellows wit and audacity, the governor freely forgave mm. The Oldest Man in rMmeniet As well ns the handsomest, and others are invited to call on C. N.

Xhe Chanrea of Fewer Marriaxes, Girls are no more angels than men are apes, and there are other vices besides impurity, envy, malice, uncharitableness, untruthfulness, ill temper. Are are all the vices on our bide ? Post nuptial backslidings are worse than pnte nuptial divaga tions and if the balance is to be struck after marriae it not so easy to say on which side it would be. There is one lesson which we, all of us, in whatever rank or society we may be, have to learn, and the sooner we learn it the better the lesson of humility, of modesty, of economy. We are no longer the lords of creation; we have no longer a monopoly 01 capital ana pro duction; rents and interests will fall lower still, and unless we realize the situation, come down from our high horse, and moderate our views of style and expenditure, very serious trouble will overtake society. We had better give up sneering at those -ainy ioreignere, ana imitate a little of their frugality. But the example must beset by those above; so long as the leaders of the great woria indulge in display those be low will spend their last shilling in an insane attempt to keep in the running. Diamonds, lace, costly fabrics, whether for dress or funiture, long and lavish dinner parties, heavy suppers after balls, all these things migni oe made uniasmonable by a wave of Zenobia's wand. Unless some change of this kind is made in our habits, or unless some hap py revolution occurs in our econo mic history, there will be ' fewer marriages than ever in Vanity Fair, The crettiest iaiv in SnmpraAf remarked to a friend the other day that she knew Kemp's Balsam was a superior remedy, as it stopped her cough instantly when others had no effect whatever. So to prove this C. N. Boyd will guarantee it to all. Price 50 cents and f 1. Trial size free. There's no trouble about twisting the tail of a sleeping bulldog.
