IN F2KALS ATTIRE. How Murderer ajuirkey Escaped from tin loKb3. From til- ■' a 'i FeancisCo Examiner. • Those who have been so fortunate as to met Mrs. W. J. Scanlon, the handsome wife of the comedian who is now playing an qpgagbm'ent in this city, if they have no pie. ions, knowledge of her pact life, would little think that she is the heroine of aa ex ploit which. for consummate skill and dar ing, far outshines any similar act of history or fl-t.ion. Mis. Scan lan's maiden name w as Maggie Jouniau, her parents beiog well known and respected people, who, during their lifetime, resided in New York city . In Gotham Maggie was born and reared .' until the time when, while still quite a young girl, she met and fell in love with William J. Sharkey. Sharkey is described as a man who never feared any living thing. When a boy he fell in with a crowd of roughs, and soon learned to be an expert in the art of picking pockets, eventually graduating from that primary school of crime into the more lu crative field of burglary. He was, however, possessed of a large amount of native shrewdness, which invariably saved him from meeting his just deserts at the hands of the police. He was arrested times in numerable, but always managed to wriggle through some loophole in the law. THIEF AND WARD LEADER. His superior talents soon gathered around him a large constituency of men of his own class, and so many voters did he and his friends control in the Eighth Ward that they generally manag and to run things to suit themselves until Sharkey, by some mis chance being defeated in a fight for Alder niauic honors, left the field of politics in dis gust, His tastes then led him to pick his friends among the gamblers, who at that time infe ted New York, and it was not long before Sharkey, having acquired some wealth, started a faro game in Buffalo. The bank did not pan out well, and Sharkey re turned to New York $-1,000 poorer than when he left. Among his numerous friends was a faro dealer named Huberts. Dunn, who imagined that if given a chance he could make the game pay, so Sharkey “staked' 1 him to the tune of S6OO, which was soon jingling in the pockets of the Buffaloites, ana Dunn re turned to New York flat broke. Sharkey claimed that the SOOO was merely a loan, and ho frequently asked Dunn to pay it. but that individual never had enough to comply with the demand. Little did Dunn think that SOOO was to be the cause of his death. One day a sporting man, and a mutual friend of Dunn ana Sharkey, died, and his funeral, which took place on a Sunday, was attended by the v.hilom partners. They left the cortege at the ferry, however, and returned up town by different routes. DELIBERATE MURDER. A few hours later Dunn was standing in a saloon talking with some friends when Sharkey, who had evidently been drinking, entered alone. He walked up to Dunn and demanded the SOOO. Ilium replied that he did not have it; upon which Sharkey back ed to the door, and, pulling a derringer from his pocket, leveled it at Dunn. Tiie next instant he pulled the trigger, a crimson streak of flame flashed from the barrel and Dunn fell with a bullet in his heart. Sharkey then rushed from the saloon and escaped. Two days later the assassin was arrested, he having been tracked by Detective Gor don to a room in a house on Washington street, near PeiTV. Sharkey set up the plea that the killing was accidental, but notwith standing this he was convicted of murder in the first degree, and the date of execution was set for Aug. 15, 1878. The case being appealed to the Supreme Court, a writ of error was granted, and pending a second hearing the murderer was confined in the Tombs prison. THE WIFE’S DIPLOMACY. During his trial and after it Mrs Sharkey, nee Maggie Jourdan, proved herself a most devoted wife. Day after day the doors of the prison would no sooner be opened than She would appear and remain until the hour of closing. She never failed to bring him some package, the contents of which would serve to while away the weary horn's. So exemplary was her conduct that Chiet Jailer Phillips gave orders that she be allowed to enter and leave the prison with out having to take the ticket which the prison rules demanded should be given to each visitor upon entering and which they were obliged to surrender upon leaving the prison. On Nov. 19,1818, while Sharkey's appeal was still pending, his wife visited him in the prison, and was still with him when Mrs. Westiey Allen entered for the purpose of visiting a burglar named Flood. She con versed for a moment with Sharkey in pass ing his cell, but no importance attached to the circumstance at the time. Mi's. Sharkey left the prison at half-past 1 o'clock, and was followed some time after by a woman dressed in black, and with a heavy green veil, which concealed her face. This person was Sharkey in female attire, who, upon reaching the gate, surrendered a visitor’s ticket and passed out unmolested. CLEVER ESCAPE. One of the three guards who were stand ing by thought he noticed something sus picious about the supposed woman, but had his suspicion allayed when, upon following the disguised murderer, he caught sight of a pair of high-heeled gaiter's on the escaping feet ns their owner was hoarding a Bleecker street car. Four hours later Miss Allan wanted to leave the Tombs, but not having her visi tor's ticket, which she claimed to have lost, she was detained until the prison could lie searched. Then it was that Sharkey’s es cape was discover ed. Miss Allan was ar rested, but nothing could be proved against her, and she was finally allowed to go. A search of Sharkey’s late cell brought to light his own clothes, and on a shelf in the '■*•ll was found his mustache still wet from lather. He had shaved it off with a razor brought to him by his wife, and the fe male clothes he wore when he escaped were brought him, garment at a time, by the rente faithfrrl woman. SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT. All America • scoured for the mur derer, but he as never recaptured. The conductor of theca which he Iroorded on Bleecker street remembered the supposed woman, who, he said, had alighted at Water street There tl.c truil ended, and it was several rnonlhs before the authorities dis covered that lie was i;i Havariu, from which eorrntry it was impossible to extradite him. Capt. locs has information that Sharkey is now in Madrid, Spain, where ho is as safe from the law as if he were in his grave. Mrs. Sharkey was arrested two days after the escape at 107 Ninth avenue, but was ac quitted by a jury. A few years ago she secured a divorce from Sharkey and married Scanlon. Mrs. Scanlnn bus been a very beautiful girl, and, although she has seetr some hard times in her life, she is still one of the prettiest women who has graced the streots of San Francisco in a long time.

Under the circumstances ti wound would have been treated only to the patient’s pain, as there is scarce! my hope for recovery from au injuryf this character, but Mitch ell is a man of Je and powerful physique, and Dr. Conne thinking that his iron con stitution woulstand it, suggested the only hope of safetytbat of an operation. His plan was to opt the abdomen and search for the ball in thehomach and intestines, al though even there was only slight hone for recow. The patient Tas suffering intense paiu, although wit remarkable fortitude and bravery, andt kas this that prompted the doctor’s suggtthn of an operation. The pa tient’s wishes tere consulted, and the case was fully expired. He himself knew that death was indifeble if something was not done, and on W other hand he knew that few persons utvived the operation more than a few rurs. Something had to lie done, and tltb at once, as every moment the patient g#v worse. He hesitated only a moment am ben consented. l’reparatiorjwere liegun at once. Instru meats to nu-etsbery emergency that might arise were BROUOrmu THE OPERATING room. and every pPcaution was taken to have the operation tsult satisfactorily. Perfect !y cool anc apparently unconcerned, Mitchell allowd the surgeons to remove his clothing and Ly him on the operating-table. Dr. Murphy ws present to act as Dr. Con ner’s assistant,and administered the umes tbetic, that son rendered the patient un conscious. A'lttle group of interested In ternes stood inigroup aliout the operation table, and a delh-like silence reigned as tho surgeon removd his coat, preparatory to making the prohbly fatal cut. Tho usual tesjwas made, and the patient was found read. Then Dr. Conner, with a steady hand, Hide an incision extending nearly the whae length of the left side of the abdomen. yt the knife pressed through the flesh the irtfstines protruded, present ing a siekeninfSight, but the surgeon never stopped, save to allow the blood to be washed away. The external part of the operation wa-finished and then came the extremely debate operation of removing the intestines from their place. As the operation prqfressed, the surgeon proceeded more slowly .wanning every part of the in testine as it we; taken out, while the group of young surfpnus abut the table craned their necks aid pressed up closer, fearful of losing sight £ a single move. Suddenly tho surgeon aused in lii.s movements, and bending clo# to the opening scanned it carefully, 'hen for the first time he LOOTED UP FROM HIS WORK to his yourger brothers about him, and told by his ’eoks that he had discovered the cause of tht trouble. It was a small, round hole in tb intestine from which digested food protrified, showing the course of the ball. Thistyas cleansed of the foreign mat ter and theeearch continued. Section after section of tee organ was removed, and in each one tlwe was discovered the same in nocent-looMng small round hole, scarcely perceptible save for the particles of food that protruled from them. Nine such holes were discovered, and in addition several large blood vessels hail been severed by the ball, and tie prospect of saving the patient’s liferwas indeed a gloomy one. Dr. Conner, however, never stopped for a sec ond Again hiaking sure that all foreign matter had been washed away, he began the delicate prrt of tho operation. The in testine was adzed, the edges of the wound brought togefher anil with a few quick mo tions, they wsre sewed together with dried cat intestinal and the wound was closed. This was repeated with each of the nine holes, and lifter each had been securely closed, and file blood washed away, the in testines wart carefully put back into posi tion. Dr. Corner heaved a sigh of relief as he finished tbs most tedious anil deiicate part of the /operation, and the ruptured blood vessels vero soon ligatured. THE EXTERNAL WOUND, was closed with silk and silver wire, and Dr. Conner stood back to view the work it hod taken him over three hours to perform and to hope for its favorable results. The patient soon recovered and did not appear to suffer much pain. Since then Mitchell has steadily improved, even beyond the most sanguine hopes of the surgeons. The only danger apprehended at this stage is from inflammation. This, it is expected, will sot in, if at all, not later than to-day, yet last night, while a trifle more restless and nervous, the patient showed no signs of having inflammation, and he is in a fair way to recover. ENGLAND AND AMERICA. Oliver Wendell Holmes On the Ten dency to Emigration and Remigra tion. From the Atlantic Monthly. We must not forget that our fathers were exiles from their dearly loved native land, driven by causes which no longer exists. “Freedom to worship God” is found in Eng land as fully as in America in our day. In placing the Atlantic between themselves and the Old World civilizations they made on enormous socriftco. It is true that the wonderful advance of our people in all the arts and accomplishments which make life agreeable has transformed the wilderness into a home where men and women can live comfortably, elegantly, happily, if they are of contented disposition; and without that they can be happy nowhere. What better provision can lie for a mortal man than such as our own Boston can afford its wealthy children* A palace on Common wealth avenue or on Beacon street; a coun try place at Framingham or Lenox; a sea side residence al Nubant, Beverly Farms, Netvpor. or Bar Harbor; a pew at Trinity or King's Chapel; a tomb at Mount Auburn or Forest Hills, with the prospect of a me moriul-suiinod window after his lamented demise—is not this a pretty programme to offer a candidate for human existence!

The vast ma jority of our jieople love their country too well and are too proud of it to be willing to expatriate themselves. But going back to our old homes, to And ourselves among the relatives from whom we have separated for a few generations, is not like transfer ring oui'selvcs to a laud where mother language is spoken and where there are no ties of blood and no common religion or po litieal traditions.

It was with deep feelings of pride and gratitude that I looked upon the bust of Longfellow, holding its place among the monuments of England’s greatest and best children. I see with equal pleasure and pride that one of our own largo-hearted countrymen has honored the memory of two English poets Milton and Cowper, by the gift ot two beautiful stained windows, and with still ampler munificence is erecting a stately fountain in the birthplace of Shakespeare. Such acts as these make us feel more and more the truth of the gener ous sentiment which closes the ode of Wash ington Allston, America to England; “We are one!" THE JEWISH MOTHER’S REVENGE. How MUe. Helene de Rothschild Was Punished. From Lucy Hooper's Paris Letter. The sensation of the last week has been the marriage of Mile. Helene Betty de Roths child to the Baron van Zuyleu van Haar of Belgium. It was a very quiet affair, only the relatives and most intimate friends of the bride and bridegroom lieiirr present. It is now some months since Mile. Helene, the greatest heiress m Europe, packed up her trunks and went down to Compeigne with all her retinue of servants, equipages, dogs and horses, to say nothing of her governess and her lady companion, to stay at the house of the aged physician of the family, Dr. Raymond, and from thence to launch the “three respectful summons’’ required by French law as a preliminary to matri mony without parental consent, at her mother, the widowed Baroness Solomon. There is not a solitary objection to ho made to Baron van Haar, except that he is a Christian and a Catholic, and by no means wealthy. As to the latter disqualification, it might have been overlooked, 1 think, as the lady’s fortune amounts to fully $12,000,- 000, with as much more in prospect when her mother dies. She is sure to inherit the latter fortune, despite the wrath of the old lady at the marriage, for, by the provision of the Code Napoleon, no parent can disin herit a child The Baroness gave in so far as to accord at last a nominal consent to the nuptials, but she was not present at the wedding, and has, it is said, already interred in effigy her disobedient daughter with ail the solemn formalities of Jewish rites She is one of tho most bigoted in religious mat • ters of all that bigoted family, and has not for years past so much as spoken to her two sisters, both of whom married scions of the French nobility. It is a singular fact that while several of the dailies of tho Roths child family have married Christians no male member of it has evr been known to do so. It is a well-known fact that Burou Alfred de Rothschild was at one time deeply in love with the beautiful and widowed Mi's. Woodward (formerly Miss Minnie King of Georgia, and now the Marchioness of Anglesey), but his father, Baron James of London, sternly prohibited the match, and as he, by the English law, had the power of disinheriting his son, tho younjj inan was forced to yield to the parental dictum. The Barou van Haar is said to be one of the handsomest men in Europe: tall, athletic, and finely formed, with regular features and brilliant, expressive eyes. He belongs to one of the noblest families in Belgium, his young cousin and the head of the nouse being the Prince de Looz Cors vvardem. The Prince was present at the wedding and was the first witness for tiie bridegroom, an office that corresponds at a French marriage to that of “best man" at an English or American one. He is a very handsome young follow of 27 and has more than once been in negotiation for the hand of an American heiress, ho being as poor in pocket as he is noble by birth. But he ts a dissipated youth, and his follies and frolics have heretofore hindered him from marry ing well—that is to say, wealthy The new Baroness van Hair, the bride of the other day, is plain, and stout, and strong-minded, and something over 8!) years of age. She always used to declare that she never would marry, and strenuously resisted all the attempts of her family to make a match between herself and one of her do Roths child cousins. She has had her own way, anil nas espoused the man of her choice. As ad American woman I cannot but ap plaud the energy and independence with which she put her matrimonial projects into execution. May she and her handsome hus band be as happy as the day is long! If the external loveliness of a homo has anything to do with the bliss of its inmates they cer tainly will be, for all Paris -holds no more exquisite abode than the charming hotel on the Avenue du Bois de Boulogne in which the newly wedded pair are to take up their residence when they return to Paris from their honeymoon journey. TESTING THE HEAT_OF THE HEAD. A Machine Applied by Dr. Hammond to Jay Gould. From the -.Veit 1 York Tribune. The other day Jay Gould visited the office of Dr. William A. Hammond, of West Fifty-fourth street, for the purpose of find ing out what, if anything, was the matter with his head. He hail been troubled with neuralgia and insomnia, and decided that he would have Dr. Hammond teat his era nium with his wonderful thermo-electric differential calorimeter. Within half an honr after Mr. Gould's visit tho doctor was overwhelmed with questions as to the na ture of the Wall street magnate’s malady. The questions came by tel egraph, by messenger and by per sonal entreaty, lor the most part, of course, from people interested in the stock market. A Tr thane reporter, who desired to learn the opinion or the ex-Surgeon General of tho army in regard to the proposed service pension bill, which is now the subject of discussion in army and navy circles, called on the doctor yesterday, and, before enter ing upon that topir, incidentally asked him what was tho result of his examination of Mr. Gould's head. “I shall not tell you,” replied Dr. Ham mond, with professional wariness. “I never talk about the caste of my jiatients. If I did, I ought often give out point* which would make serious changes in stock quota tions in Wall street, and that would he manifestly Improper and disnonest on my part. But," continued he, “If you will step with me into my examination room, I will show you tin uiHchine’ I exarnind Mr. Gould’s head with.” The c* 1 irhnoter rested upon a table before the darkened window. The doctor ex plained that it wo* me invention of Dr. J. H. Lmibard. formerly assistant professor of phrenology at Harvard.

The forehead is also hotter than the hack of the head, in a state of health. If the person U Vft ltauded, the right side will lie the hotter.

You are left-handed, ehl” “I am not,” replied the reporter. “Then,” said the doctor, “if your head is all right, when I place the poles against either side of it, the needle will move to ward the window." The needle moved toward the window. “I will now change the poles to your fore head and the back of vour head. If your head is in a healthy condition the needle will move toward you.” The change in the manner of application caused the needle to move toward the re porter. “If it is any satisfaction to you," said Dr. Hammond, “you may be pleased to know that your head is level. ” Except to say that the needles moved similarly, when Mr. Gould occupied the chair, however, tho doctor would reveal nothing as to the condition of his famous patient’s head. It was learned elsewhere, nevertheless, that Mr. Gould’s fears for the condition of his brain have been quieted by the action of the doctor's little machines, and that his sleep has returned to him and his neuralgia has in a great measure de parted. Most people in Wall street will be glad to know that he is not so much awake as he has been of late. AN INTERESTING STORY. How Sumner’s Servant Saved Sew ard’s Life. Arnold Buryes Johnson in the September Cos mopolitan. Among Mr. Sumner’s servants the one whom he most highly valued was an elder ly Irish woman, Margaret Coleman. She was his housekeeper for the last two years of his life, and now becomes a historic character. Prior to entering Nil'. Sumner’s service, Margaret was of the household of William H. Seward. When, on April 14, 18f!5, the night of the assassination of Lin coln, an attempt was made on the life of Mr. Seward, she was one of those in charge of his room, he then being confined to his bed from the effects of a fall from his car riage. Payne, the would-be assassin, was met by Mr. Frederick Seward at the head of the stairs. After wounding him severely and leaving him seemingly dead, Payne passed over his body to reach the room of Ins father The noise had notified Mar garet, who was in her own room on the story above, of Payne’s approach, and his object. As Payne entered the sick room Robinson, the male nurse, then confronted him. Payne struck Robinson to the ground with his knife, and then sprang at the Secre tary. Mr. Seward was in a half-sitting pos ture, leaning his back against a sick chair placed iu tiie bed for his support. Realiz ing Payne's object, he pulled the bed-clotu ing over his head for protection. Payne struck him a number of times. One blow was so well aimed that it passed through the bedclothes: through his cheek, into his neck on the right side, and another on the left side cut his neck. Meantime all this was passing quicker than it can be told. Margaret had sprung upon him from behind, and Robinson luul gathered himself up sufficiently to confront the assassin. Maj. A. H. Seward, Miss Fannie Seward, and some of tho servants -f the household were now entering the room, and Payne fought his way out from among them. Margaret was struck in the face, ap pearently by Payne’s clinched list, so that her face was painful and discolored for some time, and she was hurled again t the door-jamb with such force os to break her collar-bone. Maj. Seward was sligutiy cut in several places, but none of the women except Margaret was in any way injured. Payne after cutting his way out, mounted his horse and escaped. Meantime Mr. Sew ard had apparently disapjieareii, and for a moment it was thought that the assassin h k 1 thrown him out Of the open window, jlo had, however, rolled himself in his bed clothing, and fallen between the bed and the .vail, but was so suspended by the cloth ing that he had not reached the floor. Mar garet pulled him up, unrolled him now nearly smothered iu the blankets and the blood, and assisted in doing what was neces sary before she found out how much she herself was injured. She recovered, how ever, sufficiently to continue to act as head nurse to Secretary Seward, to Mr. Frederick Seward, and to Mrs. Seward, who never recovered from the shock of that night, and who died in Margaret’s arms, and, finally, as nurse to Miss Fannie Se ward. She saw her pass away within the year. When Mr. Fish succeeded Mr. Seward a* Secretary of State, he took certain of the Seward servants, who agreed to stay with him until Mrs. Fish brought her own estab lishment to Washington. So Margaret re mained with the new Secretary of State for six months, and then wont to Mr. Sum ner, with whom she remained until bis death. The arrangement was particularly agreeable to the ladies whom Mr. Suinner received, as most of them had been ac customed to her friendly ministrations when visiting at the Seward and Fish houses. DEATH OF THE LAST KING OF OUDE. A Famous Ruler, Whose Deposition Lead to the Great Sepoy Mutiny. From the Hew York Snn. Calcutta, Sept 22.—Wajid Ali Shah, the last King of Oude, one of the richest and most populous districts of India, is dead. The profligacy and misgovernmont of the royal house of Oude culminated in Wajid Ali, who was declared by the English to be more imbecile and sensuous than any of hi* predecessors. Iu 1855 Geu. Outrum, the British Resident at Lucknow, the eapi tal of Oude, reported to his government that chaos reigned in the country. Though the people were heavily taxed, little revenue reached the public treasury. The judges were venal, tue police corrupt, tho aruiy rapacious and cowardly, and the royal gov ernment virtually at an end. The East India Company in 1858 drew up a treaty which transferred to them the entire man agement, of the kingdom, while providing for the dignity and ullluence of the royal family. The King refused to sign this treaty. Wajid Ali was thereupon deposed, and his kingdom was annexed to the jameesßioiis of the East India Company, a proceeding which, at. the time, was disapproved by many of the English people, who regarded the deposition of the King as nujust and im politic. He was allowed to retain his titles, received a large pension, and removed to Calcutta, where he has lived most of the time since-at Garden Reach, on the out skirts of the city. The King's mother soon after visited Eng land, uccompamed by his m>u and brother. •She whm received very kindly by (Jueen Victoria, and remained in England some time, urging in vain her claim* for redrew.
