Stokes, alter nearly six years of imprisonment, yesterday morning at 8* o’clock was satisfied that at length he was* a free man. Six years of fighting against the law has made a young man gfriay-haired, but his pluck never tailed him, and when some one suggested a few days ago the possibility that a personal arid violent attack might b$ made upon him by “ the gang frofi Eighth ave nue,” Stokes said : “1 do not, I shall not invite tvoubj^f but I shall defend myself and I not unpre pared ” He added tfiat he knew what it meant to offencl/tjie law, and that lie should never provoke a quar- rel. Since Stokes lias been in prison, he has paid in'lawyers’;fees and other expenses nearly $300,000. He says, openly, that had he been-willing to pay $2,500 for tlie privilege, lie would not have been drafted frbmSing Sing prison to Auburn. While in Sgin Sing, Stokes regularly ibdthe officials, and lived, in the language of his-fel low-convicts, “ like a bird.” He has no hesitation in. saying, now that any one with money or political influence can do about as he pleases in either Sing Sing or Auburn-prison.

GOTTOISr BUYER, Tocoa City, Ga. - d to*'-Auburn,, be wnia .not given a I coat or waistcoaL -When h»veached 1 the prison, he was shaking with the 1 ague. He begged to be taken to the I hospital, and Warden Durston or- j dered him to a cold bath. Then | Stokes iv as attacked with catarrhal ■\ fever. Ho appiT>Rched by one of i the officials while helpless in Ills cell | and told that if he paid $500 he j could gpt into the hospital. Stokes doubted, an<l asked for time to con- ! sider the proposition. When he was | ordered to cigar shop No. 2, which is Loaded by some-tlie bindery, ami by 1 others the M bummers’ retreat,” he met Woodford, tlie incendiary, and George Clayton, tlie burglar, and spoke to them of thehospitaL .-tfeTood- I ford said, “ I cun get in there for §5,’’ I “ So can I,” echoed Clayton. Stokes i handed each of them a $5 bank-note i to start for the hospital. Within an hour, both werie registered ’- r pri the sick list, and the deputy physician had the $10 ip liispocket. Dr. Iloxie, the chief physician, spoke * to the Warden. They had learned that Stoketfpjtid ,thc money. Then they took him into the hospital, and ho ffiinatncd BtfiS’e up, to fhfiilamft ofdas release. He never did five iminutes’ work for the State in Auburn, and never ate a mouthful of prison food. He paid for all that he -had received, and had plenty of good food. “I might have lived cheaper at Delmo- cico’s,” said Stokes to the World reporter, “but there is no use of gropdlbg about,fit p^w^ 'J^ghi^^Se past few days I nave met convicts who, witli tears in their eyes, whis pered to me: ‘ Stokes, when you got out tell ’em what they do to us here.’ I know what they do. The * paralyzing jacket,’ the most inhu man pf all* punishments within my knowledge, is ruining men forever. A convict is laced in a canvas jacket until, in fact, ho is paralyzed,'and then he is unfit for work and is thrown in his cell to die. But the officials are very careful to inquire concerning th<f man they punish. If Jio has money or friends, he is all right ; but God help the friendless and the penniless man. Governor Tilden ought to acquaint himself with these facts arid then take some action. I am#, satisfied that a fair, upright Governor* who investigates either Sing Sing or Auburn prisoa, would turn out the rapacious and wiriked officials. > < Stokes and party,, consisting, of his brother an<f Colonel Nuttman, Joseph' Colghte," the World reporter, and an other newspaper representative, took a smoking-car to Syracuse, and there entered a drawing-room car and went to Albany, where dinner was served in the Del a van House. On the way to this city, the platforms at the sta«* tions were crowded- by persons who wanted to see Stokes. Women stared at him as-though ipr dear life,'and one aged female presented him with a card on which was printed, “ Come to Jesus.’’ Stokes ordered two bot tles of champagne at Utica, and the party drank his health. He said that he was not afraid of any personal attack upon hiiri in this- city. He took rooms at the, Hoffman House last night. He inteudfl-.lp call upon Commodore Vanderbilt this morning. He says, “ No man on earth has been so good-toi me as the old Commodore has been.’’ This week Stokes .will visit the Centennial ; then he will re turn to prosecute his $250,000 suit against Jay Gould. He means, to go into business at once, having pur chased a patent' asphaltum pavement, which lio says is something that no citv can do withont., * -i - » . Stokes did not think that tho-riu*f terday. He imagined that through some trick, they would detain hiiri. He employed Lyman Treman, had a habeas corpus ready, and at an ex pense of §1,500, was jnepared to bat tle with the Warden of the prison. Stokes is gray-haired, and wears, a brown mustache and goatee. Miss Dickinson’s Costumes. As the lady readers of the Times will doubtless appreciate a descrip tion of tlie dress worn by Miss Annie Dickinson in “ The Crown ofThorns,” we reproduce the following from the Cincinnati Enquirer of last week: The first costume is a creamy bro cade withj uby velvet trimmings and gold embroidery, of perfectly bewild ering beauty'and harmony in every detail. * The second costume (when Annie is supposed to be at home) is a Mdt- tcnuch green satin, with , a crimson and cloth of gold over-dress of the Venitian style, unique and piquante, with a subtile suggestion of the aute- rpnaissance period, f j , , : ....,,; f . The third is a marvel of brocaded beauty, iu color the azure of an un clouded summer sky—with a royal train of blue velvet and. ermin.e— airdle of diamouds and pearls, with a diamond crown and necklace, stomacher of. woven pearls and old lace.--, . * .■■■-• 1 The fourth and last costume is not the traditional black velvet in which queens are supposed to go to their deaths, but a study in itself. It iS 6omber, yet full of passionate sug gestion of intense but smothered fire, typified by a blending of black .lace, giving the effect of the running lava of Vesuvius, showing here and there through its gealed surface. These dresses arc all historically, correct, and, togetHer with her dia monds, could not have cost less than $10,000. Her wardrobe is an Amer ican one, having been made in New York.

London, *Novembev 3.—The Post publishes, in’*a official, form, the fol lowing paragraph: “Turkey, hav ing accepted the armistice, we under stand Russia ’ 1ms taken immediate steps to press forward negotiations for the.arrangement of all pending questions, on tlie basis'of the English proposaj.” A Reuter dispatch from Constanti nople says it is believed that a con ference will assemble shortly. A dispatch to the Standard from Paris, and one to the Daily Telegraph from Constantinople, also state that a conference will be held, and adds that the representative of the Porte will he admitted to it by some such compromise as that described by the London Post, of October 31st, ac cording, to which the six powers will deliberate on the reforms and the Turkish representative will only take a seat while the results are to be declared. White-winged Peace. London, Noveiriber 4.—Montene gro accepts the armistice on the same terms as Servia. It is stated the Austrian Ambassador at St. Peters burg’ has been ordered to go to Livadia, and it is rumored that r the Grand ^taier will go*. Ljiere also on’ a ^confidential mission. A dispacth from Belgrade’to the Times confirms] the statement that the ar mistice as accepted by the Porte is unconditional. The official announcement is a two months’ armistice from November 1st. Hostilities to cease immediately, both armies retaining positions accti pied upon received notice. It is un derstood that there are no other con ditions attached and that Montene gro'has also accepted the armistice.

' Foreign trade is, at the same time, ' more steady, after the recent slight depression, and activity has been partially resum ed. It is now understood that an armistice has been agreed upon by Turkey and Servia, the influence ' of war anticipating' will not have the effect, as of late, of exciting specula tion ; but,a stock taking at the close of the month shows that the short supplies coming since September first have resulted in a material reduction in the quantities in a granary. There appears to be a fair element for steadiness at enrrent rates at Liver pool. We have 204,000 quarters less in store now than on August 31st, and our local consumption, with- outgoing to the interior elsewhere, makes an average in the interval of 70,000 quarters per week, with a moderate ’ attendance of country millers at to-day’s market.
