THE CAVE OF DEATH.
In the earfY part of the French Revo
lution, the prisons of Lyons were filled
with thousands of unhappy .victims.
4Oventy-two prisoners who were con
demned were thrown into the Cave of
Death on the ninth of December, (here
to wait 'the execution of their sentence.
This could not be the next day, because
it was the Decadi. • •
One aailinsofieTs. Dy
Banal, only twenty-two years of age,
of a bold and ardent spirit, profited by
thisintirval to devise a plan of escape.
His sisters having, by means pf a very
large bribe, obtained accers to this
abade of horror, began to weep around
him.
"It as not now a time to weep,"' said
he; "it is the moment to arm ourselves
with resointion and activity, and en•
deavor to find some way by which we
can elude our menaced fate Bring me
files, a chisel, a turnscrew, and other
instruments;' bring wine in abundance;
bring a poniard, that, if reduced to ex
tremity,- we may not perish without the
means of defence. By this
. grate,
which looks into• the Rue Lafond, you
can give me' these things; I will be in
waiting there the whole day to receive
them."
The sisters retired, and in the course
of the day, at different visits, brought
a variety of tools, twelve fowls, 'and
about sixty bottles of wine. Porral
communicated his project to four
others, bold and active like himself,
and the whole business was arranged to
his complete satisfaction.
The evening arrived; a general sap
per was proposed; the last, they
'thought, .they should ever eat. The
,prisoners supped well, and exhorted
each other to meet their fate the next
morning with heroism and fortitude.-
At eleven o'clock 'the associates began
their labors; one of them as placed as
a sentinel nest the door of the olive,
armed with a poniard, ready to dis
patch the turnkey, if at his visit at two
o'clock in the morning he should ap
pear to suspect anything; the others, •
pulling off their coats, began to make
their researches.
At the extremety of the second cave
they found a huge door, and on this
they began their operations. It was of
oak, and double-barred; by degrees the
hinges gave way to the file, and the
door was no longer . held by them; but
still they could not force it' open—it
was held by something on the other
side. A hole was mode in it with a
chisel, and, looking through, - they per
ceived it was tied by a very' strong rope
to a post at a distance.
This .was a terrible moment! They
endeavored in vain to cat the rope with
the chisel of file, but they , Could not
reach it. A piece of wax candle, how
ever, was procured; and being lighted, •
and tied to the endlf a stick. they
thrust it through, the 'hole in the door,
and burnt the chord minder. The
door was then opened, and the adven
turers proceeded - forward.
This • door they found led only Co
another vault, which served as a depot
for confiscated effects and merchandise.
Among other things was a large trunk
fall of shirts. They profitead by this
discovery to make 'an .exchange of
linen; and instead of the clean ones
which they took, they left their own,
which they bad worn for many weeks.
Two doors beside that -at which they
had entered now , offered themselves to '
their choice. They began to attack
one; but they had scarcely applied the
file, when they were alarmed by the
barking of a dog behind.
A general - consternation seized the
party; the work vas stopped in an in
stant; perhaps the door led into. the
apartments of the jailor. This idea re
called to their minds that it afar new
near on to two o'clock, the time of his
visit. One of ihe party returned to.
a===i
ward thibave of Death, to see whether
all was safe;?a6d _it was agreed to sus
pend their rebore till his return.
When thtpl scout returned, he said
that on his arrival at the Cave of Death
he shuddered with hOrror to find the
turnkey there already. The man, how
ever, who had been left as a sentinel,
had engaged him to drink with him;
and the scout joining the party, they
plied him so well. that he at last reeled
off without examining the cave much,
and was in all probabilities laid fast
asleep for the rest of the 'night. This
was very consolatory news.
I Quitting the door at which they bad
heard the dog bark, they applied them
selvesto the other. They found here
folding-doors, one of which they opin
ed, and found themselves in a long,
dark passage.. At the (end they per
ceived still another doot; bui,liatening
very intently, they heard the sound of
voices; it in fact led to the gnard-bouse,
where seleral soldiers in their national
uniform were assembled. This was,
indeed, a terrible stroke.\ Had they
then gone so far, only to meet with a
worse obstacle than onyi they had yet
encountered? Must. all their labors
prove. then, at length fruitless?
, Only one resource now remained,
and this' was a door which they had
passed on the side of the passage, and
which they conceived must lead to the
great court of the Hotel de Ville.
In fact, having forced the door, ii
appeared they were not mistaken; .the
they were at the bottom of a staircase
which leil into the - court. It, was now
half-past four o'clock; the morning was
dark and cold, while'_ rain and snow
were falling in abundance. The asso
ciates embraced each other "with tran
sport, and were preparing to mount the
staircase, when Porral-cried oat s
"What are - you about? If we at
tempt to go out at present, ail _is over
with ne. The gate is now Ahni, and, if
any one should be perceived_ in the
court, the alarm would instantly be
given, and all would be discovered.
After having had the 'courage to pene
trate •thus far, let usi have resolution
still to wait a while. At eight o'clock
the gate will be opened. and the pas
sage • through the court free. .We can
then steal out by degrees, and ming-,
`Hug with the numbers w e can go away
without being perceived.
,It is not fill
ten o'clock the prisoners are summoned
to execution; between eight - an.ll ton
there will lie time enough for all of ris
to get
~- a way. We will return to •the
cave; and when the time of departure
arrives, each of us five: will inform two
others of the means of escape offered.
We shall then be fifteen, and going owl
three at a time we shall pass nnob.
served. Let the last three, as they sei
succession we may "
cape."
This plan appeared judicious and
I safe; it was unanimously agreed to, and
'the associates returning to the cave,
made choice of those who should first
be informed of what they bud done.
' Montellier, a notary, and Baron de
Chaffoy, to whom the means of escape
were .offered,t refused to avail them
selves of them, - the former from a con
fide4Ce of a pardon, as he had been
mistakki for his brother; and the lat
ter, though in the flower of his age,
declared all y
his ties in the world were
broken, and that life bad nothing now
to offer which could make him desk
ions of prolonging it. - They were both
guillotined the next mowing. •
The fate of the fifteen who fled was
very dissimilar, and the escape of the
rest was prevented
,by the imprudence
of one - or them. The last of the fif
teen, who, on quitting the cave, was,
according to the plan arranged, priv
ately to apprise fifteen others, instead
of doing so, cried aloud,—
"The paisige is open; let every one
that can escape."
,:
This excited a -great movement
among- the prisoners. They arose in
"an instant, doubting whether what they
heard could be true, or whether he
who uttered these worde was not mad.
The noise they made lammed the sen
tinel without; he called to the turnkey;
they hastened immediately to the cave,
perceived what had been done, and
closing up the door .by which the 'pris
oners had escaped, placed a strong
guard before it. Nesple, who had ex
cited this movement, was, With three
others, taken and executed. Another
of the fugitives took refuge in the
house of a friend, in 'an obscure street;
but he was discovered, brought back,
and guillotined. .
It was not thus with Penal, the orig
inal author of the plan. He was the
first that came forth. from the cave.
kite passed the sentinel in the court,
he said,—
"My good friend, it r ai nsas and snows
very bard; were I in yoniplace I would
not remain out of doors such weather,
but would go to the fire in the guard
room." -
• The sentinel thanked him, and, fo
lowing his advice, the , coast was left
more clear for the prisoners. Penal
took - refuge in the house of one whO
was considered a good patriot, and
escaped the observation of a party of
commissioners who entered the house.
As soon as they were gone, he began to
think of making his way out of the
city as fast as possible.., When he ar
rived at the Place Belle-Cour be found
parties of the gendarmery dispeised
everywhere. Perrot went into a house,
and, making known who he was, en
treated an asylum.,
The inhabitants were ' Women,', timid
to excess; but the desire of saviog . fin
'innocent person rendered them cour
ageous. They condieied him into a
glirref s and concealed him behind some
planks standing up in a corner.
The gendarmes arrived; they Beached
the house; they came into the garret
where Portal was concealed. Here
they found a large melt. the top of
which was fastened down by a padlock.
They asked for, the key; the women'
went down-stairs for While they
were gone, one of the gendarmes leaned
against thp planka i while a Impend
" 'Twould be droll enough if we were
r
to 'find one of the fugitives ins ibis
cask."
,
"More likely plate or money," says a
third, "for it seems very heavy.",
The key at length arrived; the `cask
was unlocked, and was found to `lie hill
, .
of salt. The gendarmes - -swore •et the
`disappointment, visited the roof a the
Londe, and then , ..., retired In the eve
ning Portal, dre ssed in woman's clothes,
with irbasket on his head end' another
on: his arm, Vassed the bridge of La
Gi illotiere. and quitted the city.
Ipabriel, another of the 'fugitives,
concealed himself among the bushes in
the marshes of the Travaux Perraohe,
Where he was nearly frozen to jeatb,
butt he got away, to a place of safety.
One, young. Conchouz, who was of
the five that bad opened the way for
escape, made choice of his father. who
was nearly eighty years of age. as one
ofithe fifteen; but the poor old man's
leis were swellen, and he 'Was scarcely
able to walk;
"Fly , fly , my son!" said he; "if thou
bast the opportunity, ' fly this instant!
I commend Hits an act of duty, but it
is impossible that I should fly with
thee. I have 'Wed lung enongh—my
troubles will soon be finished; and
death will be deprived of its sting. if I
can know that thou art in safety."
His son assured shim that ho would
not quit the prison without him, and
that his persisting in his refusal would
only end in the destruction of both.
The father, overcome by his, dutiful
affection, yielded; and, supporteti by
his son, made his way,to the bottom of
the staircase,l but to ascend it was out
of his power; he , could just drag his
legs slow the ground, but to lift them
up was impossible.. His son, though
low in stature and not stiong, todit him
up in his arms; the desire of saving his
father gave him renewed strength,.and
he carried him to the top of the stairr.
His filial piety was rewarded, and both
father and son escaped. • '
Curious Antipathies.
It is well known that the vanity of
King James 1,-never overcame his weak
ness of being unable to look on a nak
ed sword. ' Sir Xer.elm Digby was
pinud to relate that when he was knight
ed at Hinchinbrooke, near Huntingdon,
the king turned his face away and neq
ly wounded him. This may be accoutit
fed for, as his mother, Miry, Queen i3f
Scots, a short time before his birth, had
a great shock given to heron seeing her
favorite, David . Muir), 'killed in her:
presence. We are told of trladislans,
king of Poland, that be could not bear
to see apples. Pennant, the eminent
traveler, had a great aversion to wigs,
which was also transferred to their
wearers for the tinac.,,, m gr presenoe or Me

strong remarks about the. mayor to a
companion. At last, losing all control
over his feelings, ho rushed. at the may,
or, pulled of his wig, and ran with it
out of the house and down the street,
waving it aloft as he went. The mayor
followed, to the'amusement of 'the po
pulace; and this curious race wasnfter
ward known as the 'Mayor and Mr.
Pennantls Tour. Through Chester."
His said of the Dnke of Schomberg
that, soldier eshe was, he could not sit ,
in the same room. with a cat; and we
have beard of a person with s , ) great a
dislike to this harmless domestic animal
that be would not even pass under - a
sig4toard with a cat painted on it. It
will:hardly be credited that though the
valorons-Peter the Great built a fleet,
yet from his sixth to fourteenth
year could not bear the sight of either
still or running water. especially if be
was alone. He did not walk in the pal
ace gardens because they Were watered
by,the riverlilosera; he would not cross
over the smallest brook, net even oii*l
budge, unless the windowei of his oar-'I
riage were shut close, and even then
he had cold perVirations. La Mothe:
de Veyer could rion endure any musical
instrnment. although he 'delighted in'
thunder. Grelii, the composer, and '
Anne of Austria were identical in their
dislike• of the smell of roses. '
The learned Dr. Beatty tells us of
healthy, strong men who .were always
uneasy on touching velvet;'- or on seeing
another person handle a cork; Zimmer
man, the naturalist, of a lady who could
not. bear to touch silk or satin; and
shriddered When feeling the velvety
skin of a peach. One of the Earls of
Barrymore considered the pansy an
abomination; and the unfortunate
Princess Laminate looked upon the
violets as a thing of horror. &diger
turned palest the sight water-cresses,_
and neither be nor Peter 'Abono - could
ever drink milk.. It is said of Cardan
that he was 'disgusted 'at the sight of
eggs. We have heard of a gallant ml
dies fleeing, without shame, from a
sprig of rue.. The author of the 'Turk
ish Spy" tells us that, proiided he , had
but a sword in his hand, he'would rather
encounter a-lion in the deserts of Arabia
than feel aspider crawling on him in

the governor of Barbadces, had, liked

Athole, Ihinking his antipathy some

in the room, and came back with a clos
ed hand. Matthews thpnght he had a

furious, drew his sword' and would have
done damage to the duke or, himself

Burton. the traveler. tells us that a
melancholy, Duke of bitiseovy fell ill if
he but- looked upon a woman, and that
another anchorite wWs seized with a cold

Here is fi casco' a lady basingan aver
sion to-the opposite sex; it appeared in
the obituary of a newspaper-some fifty
years ago: 'Lately, at Gray's alms
house, Taunton, aged eighty-two, Han
nah Mitten, a maiden-lady. She vow

forsuance of this resolution, about ten

Which, whenever she felt serionsillnesa,'
abo immediately deposited herself, thus
lIME2
secaring the gratification of her peculiar
sensibility.' Theie are many cases sim
ilar to this - lady's on record, although
they are manifested in a more imperfect
way. In Hone'e 'Table Book' we find
an account of a gentleman in Alcantara,
named John Roll, who would swoon on
hearing the word lana (wool], although
his *oak was made of the same material.
Again; in the Universal Magazine we
read of a young woman in Namur who
fainted whenever she heard a bell ring.
The medical pioneer, Hippocxates,
mentions one Nicatio who swooned
whenever, he heard a flute. Amatus
Lusitanus - relate& the case of a monk
.who fainted when he beheld a rose and
never quitted his cell when that flower
was in. bUifom. Bealliger mentions one
of his relatives who experienced a
similar horror on seeing a lily. Henry
111, Of . France faititgl whenever ho saw
a cat. " The Duke xl'Epernon fainted on
beholding a leveret, though a hare bad
no effect on him.- Tycho Bmhe, the
superStitious astronomer, was similarly
affected upon seeing a fox, and Marshal
d'Albert at the eight of a pig. We hear
of a French lady who swooned or see-. ,
ing boiled lobsters; while Ambrose
Pare, a celebrated French surgeon,
mentions a gentleman afflicted with the
same weakness when ho saw en eel. M.
Vaugheini, a great huntsman in Han
over, felt dizzy and faiCted, or if he
had time ho would run away whenever
be saw a roasted pig.
The credulous Dr. Mather records
an account of a young lady_ who fainted
if any person cut his nails with a knife
in her presence; bat if done with scis
sors, she was indifferent. Boyle, the
philosopher, himself tells us that he
never conqUered bk! uneasiness. at the
sound, of water running and splashing
through a pipe, and that he sometimes
even fainted. We .i►re told of .French
people particularly, partial to the odor
of jonquils or tube roses, 1 . who, will
swoon at the smell of ordinary roses.

loaded with iron from Stockholm, but
havinespruna4l leak she bore up to
wards Liverpool in distress, and in do

shore, which she mistook for a light
house. It was subsequently ascertained
that the light was made by the burning
of tar by a vessel in distress and that
five vessels were wrecked that night in
conseqUence of making the same mis
take as the Vulcan. Every seaman on
board of the Vulcan - was saved, but
with the exception of a lad all on board
of the four other vessels that were
wrecked were lost.
'For forty-seven years I have been a
resident of Charleston and during the
greater part of that time I have held a

'The next day a squad of Yankees
came on board of the Santee and the
officer in commend took my telescope,
quadrant -and other valuable things I
had on the-vessel. These were subse
quently restored to me by order of
Commodore Dahlgren, to whoM I

of the officeri in question. 'About that
time I was reasonably well off.' I had
purchased 200 bales of Sea Island cot
ton at different times with Confederate
scrip. I owned ninete9n likely young
negroes, a few houses in Charleston
and the Santee and ether ship- property
bat the (lay the Union forces took pos
session of Charleston my boys, worth
easily $25,000, were free men. I
thought, however, that I could manage
to hold on to my cotton, -as it was ell
safely bid away, except eight bales, on
board of one of my vessels. These
eight bales fell into the hands of Com
modore Dahlgren and the balance was
mighty aeon found by the -Union Pro
vost Marshall Pratt, a Massachusetts
man, who promised every dixrkey taken
before him that if they told him where
any cotton.was stored they should have
one-half of it for giving the informa
tion. One of my best boys told where
my cotton was secreted, but the black
rascal never got the value of a pound of
cotton for giving that knowledge. •
tried hard to get my cotton back,
but Provost Marshal Pratt told me to .
take the Bible in my hand • and - in the
.presence of Almighty God solemnly
swear that .I had never voluntarily
borne arms against the United Statel;
that I had never given aid or encour
agement to the Confederate forces; that
I bad never rejoiced at defeats of the
Union armies or at the victories of
the. Confederate troops. When that
part of the oath was reached - ,my band
dropped involuntarily and I asked the
officer to repeat those words about• re
told' muri-cutacesohr
and he told me he would have to turn
that Sea Island cotton over to tho
United States Government, and that
Provost Marshal'may have , done sq. but
he was a sharp, shrewd I.lassathusette
Yankee, and there was a saying down
South' about that time that they greas
ed their fingers with tar to make hinge
stick to them. It is wonderful what a
quantity of cotton Would stick to a
Yankee Provost Marshal's open hands
if right' well tarred.
'lt has to.ways been said that General
Sherman's , troops burned immense
quantities of cotton, supplies, etc., on
hie march through Georgia -to
Charleston doubtless he did destroy
much valuable property, but so far as
Charleston and-its vicinity is .concern
ed I can attest that about all the burn
ing was done by the Confederates just
as they were leaving. The view enter
tained by the Confederate Government
was that it was better to destroy mov
able property than to have it fall , into
the hands of the Yankee Government,
and if the truth was known most of the
destruction by' fire attributed to Gen
eral Sherman's army was caused by the
action of the Confederates.'

On a train going up the river yester

his overcoat pocket full of purchasek
After inspecting two or three parcels he
took the wraps off a twenty-five-cent
thermomenter and examined the instru
ment with the closest interest. He
looked at the face,- then at the back,
and the longer he looked .the more
puzzled ho seemed. A gentleman who
had been observing 'him finally re
marked:
'teen buying a thermometer, I see.'
'Yes; I bought her for a neighbor
of ours.'
`What's the temperature in this car
just nova?' -
The young man tookii long squint al
the thermometer, turned it over two or
three times, and then answered:
'lt's about middling, I guess.'
Nothin further was said for ten min
utes, and the gentleman was busy with
his paper, when the other touched his
arm and said: -
'Say, are you used to thermometers
'Yes, 'slightly.'
'Well, I'm a little green, and I'm

It took about five minutes to enlight-
