jureil Leikem, by his Christian faith and his love
for his country, now to show what enthusiasm
the Hungarian was capable of in the defence of I
his rights and Ins countrywomen. He then pro- i
posed to him to go to the town dressed as a monk
and there to agree upun a scheme with the in
habitants. The first part of this proposal was
easily effected, asa few hous previously, Dulo, the

J Two days after an order came to give up the

of their departure they were taken in closed lit

Sam Swinton's .Corn Speculation.
•Did I ever tell you,” said Sam Swinton to me
one dav, “of that ’ere corn spec of mine on the
Wabash ?”
I shook mv bead.
“ You see, Bob,” began Sam, “the way it
come about was this—T got hard up.”
“Which.is not a very uncommon thing with
Ia certain individual of ray acquaintance, Sam,”
i I remarked.
j “Prezaetly,” said Sam. “Well, I was hard up
and wondering how I could make the smallest
j amount of capital to tell to the tallest advantage
when, taking up a noospaper, I saw a windy par
rygraph on the advantages of advertising. Ihe
article went on to illustrate how many fellers had
made their piles simply by advertising, and I de
termined at wunce, pertickerly as I had raised
an idea frpm the subjeck, that it was the way
for mlt> go about it.”
“Wltat wait the war!” I enquired not compre
“Hy advertising,” returned Sam. , J''.
‘Acs, well; you said something about going
about it. Going about what?”
■ “Raising a pile,” returned Sam.
j “All right—l understand go ahead.”

“that an advei lixoinent traveled wherever the pa- ,
per traveled, and everybody knows they go in- j
jto the out-o’-way places in the State. So, |

give a feller a lift ? Here goes for a trial, at all (
events. So 1 takes a 6tore of a Puke, who be- j

The Jack Sheppard of Ohio.
Under tbjf caption the Columbus Statesman
gives an aocount of the exploits of a notorious
convict named Archibald Barnet, who has re
cently been restovedJo the Ohio pooitentiary,
from which he nad escaped,
i*.che of foiff brothers who wove sent
to penitentiary about two years ago*—
| Three of them were sent from Loriu county for the
crime of burglary, and one from Derry county
f. >r passing counterfeit money. Two of Hie in
j were sent for seven years each, and tlie others
for three years each.
“Archibald and bis two brothers arrived at the
J Ohio penitentiary on the firstof. March, 1853,j
and were there but a few days when the former,
! feigned insanity, anti so completely did be act
( the madman that he deceived both the physician
] of the penitentiary and the superintendent of the
lunatic asylum. He was on the 14th of March (
, removed to the asylum, and in a few days made,
hia escape. He was retaken in Loraiu county,]
and returned April 26, 1858. On the third of
October the same year, having by some means
procured a suit of citizen’s clothing and false
whiskers, he walked ont of the prison in open
daylight, without being recognised by the guards.
He made hia way to Laporte county, Indiana,
and ip abi.iit three weeks was there arrest, and fur I
| pa-'.ug v.mnterfe.it money, found guilty, and sen
i tewed to the Itiiliana jmnitentiary for eight 1
