Finally the inspira tion of this story hit upon a scheme which for audacity and cleverness is un precedented, and won for its originator a title and distinction among his com panions which time has not yet obliter ated. Among the prisoners at Camp Butler were a number of boys who served the Confederacy in the capacity of “powder monkeys," a function well known to heavy artillerists. IT WAS A CLEVER PLAN. Too duties of these youngsters were to convey powder charges from the magazines to gunners iu trenches or to assist in like manner on the floating bat teries which anndsed the federal gun boats in the Mississippi river. Two of these little fellows, who had fallen into the hands of the enemy, were treated with the dignity due prisoners of war, and consequently found themselves hundreds of miles uway from home and mamma and subject to all the heartless discipline of military prison. The manly fortitude of these two juvenile warriors attracted the martial soul of Colonel Morrison, who commanded the post. To make their imprisonment less ardu ous ho iiiuile them his office orderlies, and sent them on the hundreds of er rands which a commanding officer finds a daily necessity in the discharge of his duty. The little fellows were true patriots, and no persuasion or punishment could dissuade them from the cause of their fathers. It was through them that the hero of this story accomplished hia de signs. The boys had access at all times to the colonel’s office, likewise the adju tant's desk. One night they were bidden to steal from the adjutant's desk a lot of blank passports. Bat what good were passports to a soldier whose very uniform forbade exit from the inner stockade of the prison, might be asked. Fortunately, however, in the prison there was a sutler who poe- ' all the venality characteristic of Us doth. for Infants and Children.

From this element a general fund was collected and appropriated to the use of the plotters for deliverance. With the latter, whose loyalty to the American dollar exceeded hit fidelity to the Ameri- Union, it was an easy matter to in a salt of citizen's clothes now A FEW OOATA TIME. On visiting days hundreds of people from the country aronnd would throng to the post to look at the fiery rebels. They were siiowu, nnder the escort of a guard, through every part of the prison, and on several occasions thaw parties, in s onnocountable way, would number one or two more on coming ont than they did on coming in. Each individual, however, displayed bis passport to the guard at tlio gate, and retired unques tioned from the portals of the fort into the loyal prairies of Illinois. Had the guards counted their guests upon their arrival and departure some startling surprises would have resulted. On one occasion two confederate officers escaped by the guard with forged passes and had taken seats in a carriage which was waiting to serve visitors at the gate of the fort when Colonel Morrison him self came oat ai\d, addressing them, naked if they had seen ull they wanted to see. "Yes. sir," replied one of the fugitives suavely. "They are a hard looking set, ain’t they, colonel?’ At tho same time he was so alarmed that his tongue al most refused to articulate. By this process half a hundred Con federates were released from custody and returned to their commands in the field. The reader must not imagine that these men were uot missed by their guurdians, for after every muster the guards were doubled and many commissioned and uon-eommisHioned officers relieved, it bo- ing suspected that they were responsible for the mysterious disappearance of the prisoners. Bo cleverly did the plan operate under cautious restrictions that the leak through which the human contents of that noto rious pen escaped was not discovered until tho man who created it had been duly exchanged and was fighting under his own flag on the fields of Georgia, whore be was kuowu to the nrmy as Colo nel Morrison's adjutant.—Nashville Am erican. tiger bounded forth, seized the dnmuiy driver and dragged him away. Nothing could have been better planned, bat one chance, necessary to snccess, bud been forgotten. No sooner bad the tiger roared and bounded upon the cart than the bullocks, terrified beyond control, went fail gallop across the country, fol lowed by tho other team, all in the wild est panic. It was impossible to fire, and after a few seconds of desperate chariot racing both carts capsized, and lay. with the animals, in a heap on the ground.

Then a cabinet must be bought for him.ora panel nearly as large ns life and as natural as the camera conhl make it. Now it costs twenty-five dollars to give one's likeness to one's divinity, for it must lie uimn the finest of polished ivory and so beautifully tinted that none but a real nrtist can do the work. The most approved ivory likenesses are no larger than tho pictures of George Washington upon our postage stamps. And they are designed to be fitted within a locket which is to be worn upon the watch chaiu. Twenty-flvo dollars is the very cheapest sum for which the ivory likeness can be obtained. They used to cost fifty dollars, but an artist who makes a specialty of them says, “They cost no more than twenty-five in Lnn- non." And so one most pay no more than that in this country.

This method possesses one ad vantage over those previously mentioned, namely, that of may wax and wane.
