A Fact Worth Knowing-
It is not generally known that under
the United States Postal Laws, if you
spoil a stamped wrapper or envelope you
can have it redeemed at its face value at
the post office, provided the envelope is
in a whole condition.
When pos al cards were introduced
postmasters were instructed to redeem
such as were spoiled before using at the
rate of 4 cents in stamps for every 5 cents
in face value of cards.
Many postal raids are spoiled in print
ing, andotheta in directing, while many
printed cants are simply unused. -These
can all be exchanged at the rate mention
ed.

Mrs. A. STERNE’S INSTITUTE
The Exhibition Last Night
The animal closing exhibition of Mrs.
A. Sterne’s Institute came oil’ last niglit
before a fine and appreciative audience.
Tlie llall and stage of tlie Institute were
beautiftilly decorated with wreaths and
pictures. At 9:15 tlie programme was
oiieued with a well sung welcome cho
rus by the school. “Traveling” was
tlie theme of tliu original coi»|Nisitioii liy
Miss Ceirn Jackson—a production very
much superior to the ordinary school
eonqiosltloii—well written and excellent
ly rendered.
Sliss Carrie Smith next played very
nicely a waltz, “Carrie’s favorite,” after
which came “.Mother Goose and her
friends,” in which 3Iiss Josie McClellan
made an excellent 3Iotlier Goose. Mas
ter Henry Gortatowski made n pretty
little “Boy Blue,” and Master George
Oliver a capital and taking “Tommie
Tucker.” 31iss Carrie Smith as “Little
Miss 3Itiffilt” was very good, and little
I .con Sterne captured the audience as
little “Jack Homer sitting in a Comer.”
witli his huge pie. Tlie little fellow did
splendidly. As “Jack and Jill” Miss
Stella Ehrlich and Phillic lloffmftycr
made an excellent and pretty little pair.
Arthur Sterne ns the “Hot Bun Boy”
and “Jack Sprat” in his double role was
really inimitable. His talent is remarka
ble for one so young. 3Iiss Emma
Greenfield made a pretty lUtie “Bopcep”
and “Mrs Jack Sprat,” by Sliss Mattie
Mayer was rendered with a sprightliness
and grace that was most charming.
Master Eddie Sterne and Sliunie Ehr
lich, as Sir. and Mrs. Jack Jingle, both
did very nicely and sustained their parts
very well indeed. “Nellie Dory," Miss
Annie Alexander, told very pleasingly
of tlie “Balie* in the Woods.” “Kittle
Carrol,” Sliss Bertlia Ilofmayer, sang
most sweetly “I love little Pussy.”
“Betty and Johnnie Pringle,” Miss
Mary Pond and Louis ilofmayer, were
very pleasing in tlieir laughable story
about tlieir two pigs,
Sliss Annie Pond made a most excel
lent Mother Hubbard, and told laughably
the story of her poor dog. As “Tom,
Tom, the piper’s son,” little Monroe
Slayer made a most rollicking and jolly
fellow; lie acted capitally.
Tile whole piece was very amusing and
excellently acted. Considering the ex
treme youth of the performers, it was a
most capitally rendered performance and
elicited rounds of applause from the au
dience.
Sliss Laura Cromwell played very
sweetly variations of the familiar “Juani
ta;” and after that came the Calistlienic
exercises, which were very graceful and
pretty.
Next on tlie programme was the “Dif
ferent ages of Life.” Slisses Slattie May-
r, Bertlia Ilofmayer, Annie Alexander,
Emma Greenfield and Stella Ehrlich, rep
resented tlie children witli their dolls and
play, ami did it excellently well.
Miss Janie Weston, Sliss Emma Wes-
solowsky and Miss Annie Smith, as the
school girls, eaeli acted tlieir parts admi
rably. Miss Weston^ recitation, “Tlie
World for Sale,” was well given, as was
Sliss Smith’s German recitation and Miss
Wessolowgky’s. These young ladies very
well portrayed tlie cares and trials of a
school girl’s life.
The young ladies, tlieir love of dresses,
theatres, halls, etc.: tlie belles and wall
flowers, etc., were well brought out by
Slisses Ellie Pond, Pauline Smith, Carrie
Hill and Laura Cromwell.
Sliss Josic. SIcLeiian gave a most faith
ful and pathetic representation of an old
maid, with all tlie peculiarities, oddi
ties, harmless vanities and lonely occu
pations of that much maligned and not
much to lie envied individual. Miss
McLellan lias decided talent and acts
well in any character.
Tlie mothers, witli tlie care and resjion-
sihiiities of household eares—children,
dress-making, small economics, etc., were
faithfully represented by Slisses Alice
Kawsou ami Josic SleLcllan.
Slisses Slela Cutliff, Annie Pond and
Irene Oliver well represented a tlie old
grandmothers, witli tlieir eaps, and cof
fee and snuff.
Then tlie groat grandmother, Sliss An
nie Mash, surrounded by tile generations
of lier children and grand children—prat
tling babes, aged matrons, lovely mail lens,
each stage of life, youth and happiness,
age, care, all the varying scenes of exis
tence. The whole allegory was interest
ing and beautiful.
Sliss Cena Jackson was next on tlie
programme with tlie dialeet recitation
‘Father Phil’* Collection.”, which was
very well rendered, ami which was fol
lowed by a very pleasing illustration of
German songs and games, in which tlie
school took |Kirt; tlie dialogues, songs,
etc., being all carried on in German.—
Tills was one of tlie most interesting and
enjoyable |iartsof tlie entertainment, and
was highly appreciated and loudly ap
plauded by the audience.
Another calistlienic exhibition by tlie
larger pupils eame next, ill which the
iliiiiib-liell exercises, many pretty move
ments and graceful attitudes were intro
duced.
Following tills was a conqiositioii liy
Miss Annie Slash, whose subject
“Trifles” was alily handled, and whose
reading was very good.
T'lie next piece on the programme was
an arrangement from “Sloses in Egypt,”
which was well played hy MissEvie llils-
man.
After which was presented an allegory,
the “War of Roses,” which was very
pretty and well received. The “Good
Night,” chorus, closed a pleasant enter
tainment.
The graduating exercises and recep
tion will take place this evening. Rev.
Dr. Wills, Chaplain in the IT. S. army,
will deliver the address to tlie graduates.

A. Collier’s scltool. To preface, we may
say that we hate never seen a more pleas
ing or smvcssfirj entertainment of tlie
kind. Ail tlie pnrlieipants acquitted
themselves most creditably, and there
not a badly renderrd piece on the
programme. We have not lime nor Space
to criticise each’Individual perl'orlijamv,
hut must coniine ourselves to a mere
port of tlie programme and tlie principal
features of the cneertaiinneul. Sliss Ja
nie Warren iqa'iied file |>ert'ormnilee witli
the 'Tnninn Line Mitn-li,” which was fol
lowed hy a duett from Sliss Johnnie Da
vis and Mrs. L. I*. I>. Warren. Then
eame tlie eontest for a prize lietween the
smaller members of the school—the In
fant class—in which five took part, Miss
Ross Sillier rendering the “Sunbeam”;
Miss Fannie Wilder, “Give me three
grains of corn”; Sliss Adeline Collier,
“Tlie little girl's good morning”; Mas
ter Julian Clark, “The Conquered Ban
ner',; and Sliss Mamie Richardson, “Tlie
hour of prayer.” The little |icopic were
listened to witli tlie closest attention, and
loudly applauded. They all did well, lint
Slisses Ross Miller and Adeline Collie
deserve especial mention for tlie excel
lent manner in which they did their parts.
Tlie recitations were interspersed witli
music, Miss Fannie Wilder playing Sun
beam waltz, and Master Bryan Collier,
“General Lee’s Slarcli,” both of which
were applauded.
Next came the contest for tlie gold
medal, offered by Mrs. CollieV for tlie
best declamation by tlie large members of
die school. Miks Blanche Odum rccilcd,
very creditably, tlie ‘.Inquiry,,’ which
was followed by the“Do?e,” by Missl.il-
lie Alfriend, who evinced a decided tal

Master Quincy Wilder, gave a very nice
rendition of Scott ’s “Death of Bertram,”
which was followod by ntusie, tlie ‘-Pris
on waltz” by Sliss Johnnie Davis, mid
Slasler Whitely Gilmer fairly brought
down tlie house by liis excellent rendi
tion of the humorous piece, “Tlie smack
in school,” wliicli was followed by Miss
Dollie Slay Vason in a pleasing recita
tion, the “Flight into Egypt”; next
eame Mtsa Johnnie Davis in the splendid
piece, “Slary Queen of Scots.” It was a
thrilling and splendid rendition, listened
to with closest attention. Tlie “Slock
ing BirJ,” with variations by Miss Nan
nie Davis, preceded Slaster Bryan (.'Ol
lier’s creditable declamation of the
“Death of Marmion,” which was follow
ed by an excellent recitation, of the fine
piece, “Polish Boy,” by Sliss Louisa
Warren. Sliss Florence Marshall played
the “Happy Family Polka,” alter which
Miss Nannie Davis recited, beautifully,
tlie pathetic poem, “Wounded.” A spir
ited declamation, “Ronie'aiid Carthage,”
by Master Slyron Weston, and a duett,
'Raymond’s kill Galop,” by Miss John
nie Davis and Sirs. Warren, 'closed tlie
programme.
The J udges, Rev. R. T. Hanks ami H.
R. Felder, and Prof. 8. R. Sims, after a
few moments consultation, decided that
Miss Adeline Collier had won the prize
for tlie Little Folk’s Class, and Miss

Another Accident.
A little colored girl, residing with her
parents in tlie southern part ot the city,
attempted to kindle a fire hy tlie use of
kerosene oil last Friday, and was serious
ly injured. While slic was (louring oil
iqion tlie wood tlie flame ascended tlie
stream and entered the can, causing it. to
explode with a loud noise, mid driving
the fragments of tin with such force as to
knock tlie child senseless. Some of tlie
pieces of tin cut several ugly gashes lij
her forehead, hut nothing dangerous.
Tlie strangest, part of the affair was tlie
faet that though the child's clothing was
saturated witli oil slie was not burned
Nine times out often such accidents, tlie
child would have been burned to death
and the house destroyed. Will people
never learn to quit ]louring kerosene oil

Seldom, If ever, have prisoners eseiqied
jail mpler such a cmiihiuatimi of clrcum-
stnnece, and witli such a variety of liaf-
lling contentions in the way of preclud
ing Hie jsissihilily of delection, ns tlie six
inmates who broke jail in tills city on tlie
morning of the 12th lust.
Tlie means employed, and the tricky
devices brought to-bear in tlie endeavors
to make way bean comparison to the kii-
pcrlitiman Worts of tlie unlucky subject*
under till! reign of Isiuis XIV who were,
confined in tlie dark and gloomy cells of
the Bnstlle. Tlie tools and liijcnuity of
escape were as implements as those used
liy tlie persecuted prisoners of the reign
of that weak king, and in many rce|>cctn
bean the impress of the march of civili
zation of tlie 19th century.
Wu learn the following facts of tlie es
cape of tlie prisoners and tlie way in
which they engineered tlie matter from
one of tlie posse who was left behind to
tell the tale: - ,
It appears from ail tlie evidence that
could lie hud in the matter, that tlie pint
was conceived alsiiil two weeks ago, and
in order loconsi ate arrangements Tor
escape a white woman hy tin- name or
Sirs. Carr was taken into confidence,
who was to o|h-ii Hie cell (where was
confined Cogin ami Howell), but fearing
retribution site weake'ned, and gave up
tlie plot. Gn the night previous it was
evident tliat sl|e suffered from an uneasy
eonseienee. as she asked the jailor if she
would Is- belli responsible if any of the
inmates escaped. This unexpected and
rathe;- singular inquiry elicited au em
phatic “yes,” from the jailor, who ques
tioned her of Ilie possibility of an escape
of tlie prisoners. Tlie jailor fearing that
something might is- “rotten in Den
mark” prepared himself accordingly by
-liiiiiging the locks on every- cell in tile
jail to prevent if |s>ssihle any premedita
ted design to effect an escape.
’litis sudden eottpe ile’etait. op ■ tlie part
of the jailor put a cold damper ppoii the
prospective jail breaking, and for a time
the plot was suspended. ...
On Saturday evening last as the clock
struck ten the prisoner began their well-
conceived plan of esc.-t|H!—tlie hour deci
ded upon to begin operations. As the
L'lioes of tlie hour resounded throughout
tlie damp ami commodious halls of tile
prison William Ellis opened tlie door of
liis cell with a wooden key, and made liis
way,up stairs to the other cells and by
tlie means of other keys succeded in o|ieii-
ing tlie door of tlie cell where were con
fined W. E. Howell, Joseph Cogin and
John Yolin. After a close convention of
about live minutes tlie ]iarties came down
the stairs into the passage where they
i-ommeiH-ed iqierations iqion tlie lmr .win
dows by cutting tin-sill witli au old knife
uid prizing it up. with a wooden lever.
After siiceceeiling ill moving this ob
struction, measuring 5 feet by 12 incites
square, they commenced prizing tin-iron
liars witli a long stick of wood and
wrenciting it witli a piece of wire taken
from an old broom, succeeded witli these
crude means of devise together with inge
nuity anti main strength they effected
tlieir escape.
One of tlie party—inclining too much
toward avoiilupois, could not squeeze
through the hole and was left. Iieliind.—
Alton t tills time tlie dog sounded the
alarm by tierce and terrific barking,
which attracted tlie attention of jailor
Herrington, who was on niglit patrol,
and who, in cpiii|iany with Mr. O. F.
Lundy, sounded tlie alarm, “broke jail.”
At this hour tlie jail-liirds linii flown, and
hail obtained considerable headway—too
far at least to tie pursued.
A elose scrutiny of tlie cells, and
particularly tlie one on tlie top floor,
proves beyond doubt that tills plot was
conceived by an ingenious iicrson or per
sons, and was premeditated carefully and
witli engineering skill and ability. From
all tlie circumstances collected in regard
to tlie matter suspicion secins to rest upon
Jcsepli Cogin as the instigator of tills ttn-
parrelleled and well executed plot of jail,
breaking.
We give lielow a list of die escaped
prisoners, tlieir descriptions and respect

to go through .-til the mass of testi
mony, ns it will in a few days be sent
broadcast over the country, blit it is
sufficient to excite tlie serious alarm
or the republicans. The matter had
faded almost from recollection and it
is safe to declare that hail it been
present Jo tlie mind of the Chicago
convention Mr. Garfield would never
have received a vote for the nomina
tion. Your correspondent called upon
Sir. Cox alter the house had ad
journed. lie said (lint lie thought it
was right tliut the country should
know tlie facts in tlie case, now dial
they are asked to make a choice be
tween Mr. Garfield anti some other
enndidate for tlie presidency. “Ilnd
Hawley not-been so qtd6ft,f’said ha,
“and bad the speaker be’en a little
quicker we could have had Hie docu
ment printed.” As it is, however,
under Ilie ruling of tlie chair the res
olution must go to tlie committee on
printing, and as tlie republicans can
now filibuster until after next Wed
nesday, the day fixed for adjourn
ment, there is little prospect of the
reproduction of Hie document. Sir.
Cox was the speaker when the inves
tigation committee was constituted,
and. appointed it himself, Speaker
Blaine having called him to the chair,
pending discussion upon the matter,
which involved liis own integrity.
Tlie offering of tlie resolution, there
fore, by Sir. Cox is entirely proper,
lie said that if tlie house refused to
print tlie documents tlie Garfield tes
timony will be printed bv private
subscription. As to what lie thought
of tlie effect Mr. Cox said that it
would be serious—that Hie testimony
and attending circumstances are Very,
damaging.
“Do you know,” said lie, “what
‘moribund’ means ?”
“In a dying condition !”
“Well, yes; and that is about the
condition in which it will, leave Sir.
Garfield.”
This matter particularly, and the
record of Mr. Garfield in connection
with the DcGoiyer contracts and the
back salary grab, were discussed with
absorbing interest by members, sena
tors and other public men in Wash
ington. The testimony in both tlie
credit mobiler investigation and the
DiUofyer contracts will very proba
bly be used in speeches hy democrat
ic members before tlie adjournment.
A Pennsylvania member, who is'one
of the brightest democrats in the
house,said to your correspondent to
night that he had no doubt but that
tlie testimony would appear hi this
form before next Wednesday, and
that, were it not for other pressing
duties lie would himself put in a
speech. The republicans arc anxious,
to say the least, but profess to believe
that Hie publication will not make
any very great sensation, as it lias
been out bcfoorc; but when tlie re
port was at first published Garfield
was not of sufficient note to be hurt,
but upon exactly similar testimony
Colfax was ruined politically. At
any rate the matter is likely to create
a very lively sensation during tlie
uext ten days.
Sciiator Hill, of Georgia, says the
nomination of Unrfielu- is fairly
strong; not as strong as that of Ed
munds would have been, nor that of
Grant He thinks Grant would have
given trouble in the south, but that
Garfield will uot. The latter, how
ever, will poll every republican vote
in the country, especially in the
north. He thinks the effect of this
nomination will compel the demo
crats to concentrate tlieir fight on
New York, New Jersey and Connec
ticut.
Wells, of Slissouri, thinks Garfield
the strongest man the republicans
could nominate.
Blount, of Georgia, and Tucker, of
Virginia, express the same opinion.
An old citizen said to-day that Gar
field’s nomination is the first one
made since 1844 that a salute was not
fired or a torch-light procession had
in honor of the nominee, by tlieir re
spective friends in Washington.
Atlanta Constitution.]
Some of Hie candidates who were
quick to join in the line ami cry
against Colquitt, Gordon lind Brown
arc already going on crutches, and
the political hospital will be crowded
with invalids when the roll comes to
be called. Tlie people of Georgia
never did and never will indorse the
assailants of private character. This
may he nil entirely new view to some,
but it is just ns true as if it was a
thousand years old. It tlie audience
will have a little patience, they will
see the ambulance train go by. '

Mr. Tilden we still regard as having
no chance whatever to la: nominated,
lie may read ill his fate that of General
Grant at Chicago. Tlie two-tliinls rule
is a barrier over which he cannot leap in
to tlie Presidential arena. But above all
is tlie consideration that if nominated he
could not carry New S’ork next Fall.—
I sit it Imi conceded that it' is absolutely
impossible to eleet tlie Democratic nomi-
inee without the vote of New- S’ork, and
Mr. Tlideu is at once dismissed toGraui-
ercy Park. All this will not prevent
him from getting a large veto in tlie Cin
cinnati Convention if his name is present
ed in that body. He has a wonderful
hold upon the people, especially in the
North.
tBrookljn Uniou-Argui, Rep.)
. It was known that tlie nominee of the
Chicago Convention, in ease Grant was
beaten, must lie one identified with
Urantism and representing its ideas and
its purposes; but it was not imagined
that tlie choice would fall upon one
whose record, like that of Garfield, shows
him to have been a participant in the
worst and most venal scandals of the
scandalous regime. Had Biuiyau’s man
witli a muck rake sifted tlie whole lot,
Garfield would have been picked out as
the fullest flavored specimen of the mush
room statesman who sprang up and fat
tened ou tlie corruption of those days.
Beaton Herald, Ind]
We see no reason why he should not
get as many votes as any other man, with
the (MMsihle exception of Washburne,
whose absence from recent conflicts and
whose jMipularity with the Germans
would have been great points ill his favor.
He will unite tlie party with less of jeal
ousy titan any other man would have
aroused. Every Republican vote will be
cast for him. Fqp'.tnen would better
satisfy tlie requirements of those inde
pendent voters, generally Republican' at
bottom, who protested against tlie uoini-
nntidn of Grant or Blaine, and many of
wiioni also plaeed Sherman in tlie objec
tionable list.
Hmrtfonl Courant, Rep]
Tlie Republican party is to be congrat
ulated upon tlie happy outcome of the
protracted struggle at Chicago. The
friends of the leading candidates will nat
urally be disap|x>inted at their failure,
but there will be among them no feeling
of bitterness at tile filial result, while
among tlie great mass of Republicans of
the country it will be regarded with sat
isfaction. Tlie nomination of Mr. Gar
field will harmonize all branches of tlie
Republican party.
Raleigh Observer, Dem]
In tlie main, General Garfield is to be
regarded as a strong candidate. There
are but few matters upon which his re
cord will be distasteful to his party in the
North.
