Aonm tb« beMtifal baj from the dtj
mi hoar or mush a matter i* the (muons
Ik dll, on whksh k the famoos State
prison which Domas made famoos bj his
ksMortal roman oe of Monte Oris to.
Everybody knows the foundation of the
novel. Edtoond Dantes, a yonng mas
ter of a veasel sailing from Maraefllea
and betrothed to Meroedes, falls into a
trap laid by a powerful lover of the girl
and is aoonacd of conveying letters from
the Emperor Napoleon, then oodfined at
Elba, to Ids partisans at Marseilles. He
is entirely innocent, bnt his accuser is
powerful in the government and poor
Dantes is torn from the arms of his love
and hurried to the Castle d’lf. The
yonag sailor was immured here for yean,
and had given up all hope of ever again
seeing the ontaide world, when one day
be was sorprised to beer s scratching
noise on the outside of the wall of his
dungeon. He answered it, and found
that it earns from an old abba who had
also beMi confined in the prison for
yean, and who was digging a hole
through the wall, not knowing or oaring
what the result might be. A few days
sufficed to widen the aportnre so that
they could converse, and the result was
the ebbe, who was well-nigh gone with
yden, confided to Dantes the secret of
the Isle of Monte Cristo, near Naples,
where fabulous wealth was concealed.
The abbe immediately expired and
Dantes determined to make a bold stroke
for liberty. The custom was to envelop
deed bodies in a sack and throw them
over the precipice into the sea at night
Dan tea palled the corpse of the dead
abbe into his cell through the opening
and enveloped himself in the sack, se
creting a knife about bis person. The
two soldiers came at the proper hour,
carried the supposed abbe, but really
the living Dantes, to the precipice and
throw it,over. Tbcmoipent he struck
the water Dantes liberated himself with
his knife and swam to a rook in the
neighborhood—there are plenty of them
—and escaped by a miracle.
As everywhere else, the people now in
charge of the island and the disused
prison have made the most of the ce
lebrity that Dumas’s great work gave
the place. They have selected two dun
geons as the identical ones occupied by
the abbe and Dantes. They dug the
hole between them, and yon are shown
the cells and the opening as thongh the
great novel waa a historical fact instead
of the revelation of the most wonderful
romancer France has yet produced
However, it might have happened,
the island is simply a rook in the sea,
its summit crowned with a prism ss
horrible as one could imagine. There
are cells below cells. There are dun
geons into which the rays of the blessed
son never penetrate. There are others
through which all the light there ever is
is what may come throngh a narrow alit
in the thick walls, and it is so situated
that escape any other way than that sug
gested by Dumas would be impossible.
As it was used ss s prison of State
durjug the old regime, and by the Re
public afterward, a great many tragedies
have taken place within its walls, which
still shew mementoes. Mirabeau was
confined here for s long time, s brother
of the King of Poland was here for
twenty years till death relieved him,
"detained,” as the records ssy, "by re
quest of the king.” The brother was
probably troublesome, and kings were in
the habit of obliging each other in this
way. He was safe enough here.
Now it ia entirely unused, the place
being in the guardianship of a dozen in
valid aoldiera and an old woman with a
handsome daughter, wbo makes a living
by exhibiting the place and retailing the
Hee that others have invented. They
have cut the great story of Dumas down
to a very fine point, and they have
photographs of the good old abbe and
Dantes and an engraving of the escape,
all of which you arc ur^ed to purchase.
Whether you invest iu illustrations of
the fertile brain of Dumas or not, yon
must drink a bottle of veiy bod wiuc or
beer, and you must likewise disburse s
frane or two for tboir services. This,
however, is the Ixwt use the hoary old
record of crime was ever put to.

TRAINING BLOODHOUNDS.
-(toi
• For some time past the farmers and
general public of New England have
bean greatly alarmed over the reports
that tha foot and mouth disease so prev
alent in England had broken out amtog
the cattle in the vicinity of Portland,
Me. Dr. Thayer. United States Treas
ury Cattle Commissioner, of Newton,
who made a thorough inspection of the
affected cattle, explains the oause of the
epidemic. He says: "After having
made two official visits in response to
telegrams informing me that an epidemic
had broken out, and failing each time to
discover any symptoms of the dread
foot and month diaease, I was, on Feb.
15, for the third time mimmoned. I went
and saw Dr. Bailey, State Commissioner
of Maine, and together wo proceeded to
make an examination of the cattle
afleoted. One ox had the disease in a
highly aggravated form. If any pre
vious doubts had existed as to the nature
of,the disease.the inspection of these
animals dispelled them. Dr. Bail^ and
I subsequently visited the farms of Mr.
West and Mr. Pierce, sitnatod In the
vicinity, where animals infected in a
similar manner were found. The cattle
hi icc qiiftrftnt&nc AtAtton nad (Wring tnin
time also shown undisputed proof of
being affected with the foot and month
disease, which had spread through the
entire herd of imported cattle, 28 in
number, though iu an exceedingly mild
form, and all on the following Monday
had apparently recovered, and indeed
gained flesh. The oattlo outside the
quarantine station which have bcon
affected with the disease arc under tho
jurisdiction of tho Board of State Cattlo
Commissioners of tho Sta te of Mai no.
In justice to this Board I must say that
it haa taken most prompt and cfliciont
measures to prevent tho spread of the
disease, which doubtless will go no fur
ther. I personally do not think that any
four should be entertained by tho people
of Now England, as the disease is now
well under control. *
The subject of pleuro-juienmonia
among oattlo, which has lately broken
out in Putnam and Columbia counties,
New York State, occupied about an hour
of the session of the N. Y. Senate, the
oooasion being the consideration of a
hill allowing the slaughter of infected
cattle under the direction of veterinary
surgeons at the Governor’s order, and
appropriating $60,000 to pay for the
cattle thus destroyed. Mr. Gilbert spoke
ou the immediate necessity of the meas
ure, ss efforts to check snob diseases, in
order to be effloient, must be begun at
once. An amendment making an appro
priation of $26,000 was lost. An amend
ment introduced by Mr. McCarthy,
fixing the appropriation at $20,0Q0 was
adopted, thirteen to eleven, and the bill
was ordered to a third reading.
In the House Mr. Curtis introduced a
bill appropriating $60,000 for th6 use of
appraisers, to be appointed by the Govern
or, in condemning aud appraising dis
eased cattle. The bill was passed by
unanimous consent.

Additional particulars concerning the
situation of affairs in tho little island of

"And these are the bloodhounds I

"Yea, they are the famoua blood-

as you will find ia Texas. They are
simply foxhounds trained to hunt men.”

"Could yon not dispense with the

"No, indeeiV; you cannot hold con
victs with shotguns. It is the fear of
tho hounds which keeps them quiet.
Desertion is usclcsswhcn recapture is a
moral pcrtiunty, as is tho cose when
good hounds are employed,

"Oh, no; that is about the only sport
there is. Here come tho puppies. We
will give them a run and let you see
how it is done.” • • -
* - *
A trusty was sent down the lane and
over the fence, through a large held, on
a run for dear life. When he had ac
complished about half a mile, or half
his circuit, tho puppies, three six-mouths
old hounds, were put on his track, and
they started, nosing tho ground and
yelping as they ran. On they kept,
over fences and throngh stubbies and
ditches, never ceasing their noise.
Sometimes they would run over the
f trail where tho trusty had made an
abrupt turn, bnt soon they would return
to the spot where they lost the scent
nnd ftngjUousIr feel their way until cer-
liun they had the trail, when they would
1)0 off again. The trusty was a long
distance runner, bnt tho soft ground
made his impromptu track heavy, and
he lagged as lie approached the end of
his run, evidently fatigued.
The dogs gained on him rapidly and
were yelping close upon him. He was
ordered to rnn to a tree or fence and get
out of their way, so that they would
have to find him by the scent. He first
tried to climb a high gate-post, bnt
the dogs with their noses to the ground
were upon him almost and forced him to
take shelter In a wagon which waa stand
ing in the yard, where he hid himself
in the bed just as the dogs came to the
gate. They looked up the gate-post and
smelled aronnd a little, then without de

like a tng-boat. I looked at the perspir

being the cause of his race, bnt I soon
found out that it was a great privilege,
enjoyed by bnt few, and giving the pup
pies a race was considered by them the
very essence of pleasure. The convict
took an old blanket in his hand and
alighted on the ground, when the dogs
fought him fiercely, making vicious
springs for him. He repulsed them by
buffeting them with the blanket, jump
ing away and thwarting them in any
manner without hurting them. Finally
one of the dogs fastened his teeth in the

Only a tew warn winter days are
necessary to change a placid Western
stream, across which a man with leg-
boots might safely wade, into a river
deep enough to float the Great Eastern.
When the water exceeds the containing
capacity of its banks, then comes the
flood, which in the West means an over
flow. Embankments, called dykes or
levees, protect the cities and large towns
that are not on high ground, bnt farming
land is generally at the mercy of high
watef; and so ore the smaller towns.
The overflow is never a alow and even
distribution of the water over a large
area, It begins at points where the river
1>anks arc low, perhaps for only a tew
jards, Through such depressions the
water, forced by the weight of the im
mense quantity behind it, pours with
groat rapidity and consequently with'
mnch erosive force. An lias tern man

Captain Pearce is inclined to the
opinion that President Salomon has been
exceedingly merciful in dealing with the
insurgents, while Purser Lambert holdt
that he was brutal iu the extreme.
"Blood for blood ” has apparently been

of his followers was not shed Captain

Captain Pearce ascribes a groat deal
of cruelty to Salomon's generals, who*
were not troubled apparently by his-gen
erous motives, and who had sometimes
butchered right ami left in anticipation
of their orders,’ The Haytian execu
tions which ho witnessed Captain Pcaroe
describee se meet cruel. The soldiers,
he says, began to.shoot their victims
(who were tied to fences or trees with
their eyes nnbandaged) very low down,
the aim being slowly raised from the
ankles to the knees, the knees to the
thighs, and so on until a vital spot was
reached. The victims displayed meet
extraordinary courage. They never
flinched, at the painful wounds first re
ceived, but stood up calmly and silently
until the death-dealing bullet reached its
mark. Often they fell before some
cruel wound, and rose again to receive
the fatal one. They appeared to Jbe per
fectly indifferent to death, and the heart
rending features of the executions, Cap
tain Pearce says, were the agonizing
cries and appeals of the wives, or more
properly the favoritee, of the victims,
who were helpleea witnesses of the
butchery of those they loved.—JV. Y.

A Nbw Town.—An observant Boston
ian, just returned from a tour of the
West, says : "The most wonnerf nl thing
in the West is the rapidity with which
the email towns are building water
works. You can hardly find a town of
8,000 to 10,0p0 inhabitants withont com
pleted or projected waterworks. The
usual system is a central reservoir, into
which the water is pumped and from
which it fed by preesure. Such a
system oosti from $40,000 to $80,000.
The towns usually issue 6 per cent,
bonds. This entails annual interest of
$2,500 ta$5,000l The water rents more
than pay this, besides expanses, end
provide something for the sinkiag fund.
Enough is saved in insurance alone to
bahiMt the interest, while the inoremed
health end convenience is beyond com
putation.” _

An Affeiting Scene.-
John Thomas, convicted in Georgia
of murder has been sentenced to be
hanged. He was ordered to be confined
in AtlatyU jail uhtil the dnte of the hang
ing. While waiting for the train at thc
railroad station at Palmetto his wife sat
by him, her head on his breast, sobbing
violently. His three little children gath
ered at his knees, kissing his hands and
lagging him not to go. At length one
of them noticed the steel manacles at his
wrist, took hold of them, and pulling them
vigorously, said:
“Papa," what have yon these on for?”
child kept trying to pull them off,
rant of the dreadful truth of why
they were there. Failing 4o release
him, the child appealed piteously:
"Papa, do please take off these ugly
things. 1 don’t like to see them on yon.
Take them off so you can lift me up on
your lap.”
By this time the other children joined
in the appeal, and the crowd of persons
surrounding could not repress their
tears. At length the train rolled up, the
murderer was taken from- his weeping
family, and was soon on his way to await
his terrible doom.
to speak of. Should he try to wade
throngh it, however, even if the water is
not more than knee deep, he will find the
center of the new stream, in a line with
the point of overflow, as rapid and rest
less as a mountain torrent Ho will be
lucky to escape without the ground being
nt times torn* from under his feet, for
such an overflow generally cuts a chan
nel for itself iu wonderful haste, tossing
tlic soil aside and tearing up the subsoil
like an enormous plow. Wherever the
water (inda illght depressions of the soil
it follows them, tearing additional chan
nels for itself, and deepening into gullies
what were the lower i>ortions of barely
perceptible undulations.
While the water is .in motion a man
can barely make his way through it
when the depth bn* reached one foot;
when the depth increases to two feet,
horses and cattle are helpless, and when
thrown down, as they soon are, they sel
dom regain their feet; they are tossed
about until, unless stranded upon a
ridge, they Income bruised and ex
hausted ; then they drown. Overflow
ing water only two feet deep will take
up fences, logs, wagons, and everything
else in its path that will float. Instead
of distributing these over the area of
spreading water, it masses them in the
centre of rapid flow, as swift currents al
ways do with drifts When this mass
strikes house or barn that happens to be
in its course, that structure is doomed,
for np building can withstand the mo
mentum of tons of solid material that is
being pushed along at the rate of seven
or eight miles a hour.
When the river falls, and all water
that can make its way back to the river
has disappeared, there still remain large
flooded yeas wherever the ground is
low, and the soil under them is nseless
m,til evaporation has done its slow work.
Ground high enough to be drained ol
water is almost equally unavailable, foi
the main current of inflow and its num
b?rless subdivisions have made gullier
aud ridges everywhere, and destroyed_
whatever crops—generally winter wheat
--have been planted. The period of
evaporation ia also one of malaria, ty
pbohl fever, and dysentery. Commnni
ntion by roads is interrupted for a long
time, for the flood has carried away nh
the small bridges, so a creek three feet
wide is impassable except on horseback.

their remains lie about everywhere to

"Tho possibilitica of the Sioux pony
have never l»een dreamed of,” said a cow
gentleman (one of the aristocracy of the
genus cowboy) to a J'ioticcr J*rc** re
porter recently. "Yon know tho old
plains saying, ‘Let n white man ride a’.
Indian pony until he can’t make him
move a step further, and, dismounting,
give place to a Sioux—the latter will ride
the brute twenty miles further that day.’
"Unpromising.looking? Well, they
are not pretty as a rule, though I’ve seen
some dandies. Turn Jay-Eye-See out

to be steading by, the Indian, a Brule
Sioux, remarked that he had ridden a
good way that_dsy and his pony was
tired. The Adjutant noticed that the
Hall letter was dated that morning, and,
hk interest being aroused, asked the
messenger when he left his poet. He re
plied that he started just after first ser-.

Condensing a Novel.
For a number of years DA Wood was
engaged in writing a novel. He spent
six years upon it He would write a
chapter and then spend a week or more
of time trimming out grammatical faults.
When he had polished the book out to
tho Inst degree in the manuscript he
took it down to the New York <S'un office,
where it was set qp at the odd hours
when compositors, having no regular
work to do, were put to work upon what
is known as "bogus” matter. The en
tire book was set up in this way; tho
doctor was thus enabled to see his pet
work in type. It was a labor of love
with him to still further polish away at
the grammar of his book in revising and
revising again these proofs. But when
he had reached the height of grammati
cal perfeetiou in his kook he discovered
that he had no story. It was not a book
that any publisher would look at a
second time. One day the doctor an
nounced that hk book was ruined. He
had put Dana into one of the closing
chapters of the book. Thk chapter bad
been read to the editor of the Sun and
j in that
form. To change this scene ruined the
book in the doctor’s estimation snd so
he gave it up from that flay.
