To prove an alibi Jim n once rode horseback from Pitts- v Pa., to Boston, Summit county, {fi'a distance of about 100 miles, m night. The*officers arrived at pB, Brown's home, a few hours •his own arrival. They arrested On his trial several witnessee •wore that they saw him at sundown the day previous to his arrest at Pitts- burg. These witnesses also identified Ikts horse. On the defense, Brown moved by a score of good witnesses that he was at home at sunrise the morning of his arrest, and that his Itorse was sleek and fresh that day as though it had not been ridden for a month. The court held that Brown could not have ridden the distance in that time, and discharged him. But be did ride it, and afterward told how it Was done. Finding himself certain to be arrestedfif he stayed in Pittsburg a certain night, he saddled his horse-- a splendid animal--and as soon as it Was dark started out on his wild ride of 100 miles. For the first thirty miles his horse kept bravely and steadily to his work. Then Brown noticed by the irregular reach and labored breath (bat the terrible strain was telling upon his faithful brute. At the next tavern Brown procured a pint ol Whisky, and, putting half of it into a small quantity of water, gave it to his horse. Then on the road again, his Willing animal working more steadily. At every hill he would dismount and fun beside his horse till it was passed, 'then on and away, to stop at tne next tavern to give his horse more whisky and water. In this way--galloping furiously along levels' running on foot •p and down hills, and stimulating his •teed with all the caution a skillful {ihysician would bestow upon a pa­ tient critically sick--he reached his home before daybreak, where a con­ federate was found to devote his en­ tire attention to the jaded horse, while thrown purposely showed himself to #8 many neighbors as possible, who testified as before staffed. Known by Their Walk. An Italian physician has been study* •' Jng the difference between the manner Of walking of honest men and crimi­ nals. He finds that in honest people the right pace is longer than the left, the lateral separation of the right foot trom the median line is less than that of the left, and the angle of deviation Of the axis of the foot from a straight line is greater on the right side than 4he left. In thieves, he declares, there ts a pronounced widening of the basis of support, together with a very long Step, while in assassins the base of support is not as wide as it is in v thieves, since the angle formed by the mxis of the foot with the median line is less obtuse. It would be interesting to know something about the widening of the basis of support of a drunkard, and, undoubtedly, the angle formed by the axis of the foot with the median line would be very acute indeed in his case.

That author evi­ dently has a great deat of confidence in the novel, but perhaps if he had shown it to a publisher before losing it he would not offer so large a reward for its return.--Hew York Commercial " Advertiser. Stories by George D. Prentice. When the lamented George D. Pren­ tice was editor of the Louisville Jour­ nal, on entering his sanctum in the morning, and after adjusting his dress- , ing-gown and slippers, he was in the habit of resting his head upon his desk ; and indulging in a reverie. Mean while his amanuensis held himself in readiness to begin taking down what he might dictate the instant he aroused himself. One morning after an ap- •' parent nap of half an hour he raised bis head and abruptly broke forth with the following familiar quotation: "On Fame's eternal camping-ground 0 Their silent tents are spread; . 1 And Glory guards, with solemn round* , T The bivouac of the dead." > , *• *Silent tents' and 'bivouac' b( hanged! The infernal fool! Who ever heard of bivouacking in a tent!*" Speaking of Prentice suggests a lit- : tie incident that transpired on a Mis- : sissippi river steamer just after the war. Among the passengers were Gen. D. S. Stanley, commanding the Fourth Army Corps, and Clarence Prentice, the son of George D., who M A.

A friendly game of poker was started to kill time, bu1 it did not last long. "What does the 'erring son'say to my 'blind'?". Gen. Stanley would ask, in his bland way. Or, "Does the 'misguided child' have cards, chips and cheek enough to war­ rant him in opening the 'jack-pot'?r Young Prentice was evidently annoyed and soon withdrew from the game, though Gen. Stanley had no intention of hurting his feelings. Henry Blanc, who lived near Par- kersburg, Va., was drowned bv the wreck of the steamer Scholten" He had gone to Amsterdam, where a short time ago a relative died leaving him a large estate. At different times Blanc had crossed the ocean to receive in­ stallments of his fortune, and a few weeks ago he went to receive the last and largest portion. He had written home that he had been successful, and it is thought he had the money witb him when the vessel went down. He expeted when he left to return witb $100,000.
