There Wils a ba^J^i'inpt made at the
Illinois State Penitentiary, at Joliet, to
carry ont » mutinous plot to euablo the
convicts to escape from that institution,
last week. The plot was originally con
cocted between a man named Smith und
certain outsiders, friends of three convict«,
to secure whose release he wits to receive s
handsome sum of money. The tirst thing
in the programme was for Smith to obtain
employment as a guard in the l'enituii
tiary, in which he Succeeded a few weeks
uifO, and had boen acting as a general
guard up to the time of the discovery of
the plot. This man was to arrange the
manner of escape for tho convicts, one ol
which wi s a plan for them to scale tho
wall while he was on it as guard. This
was attempted a week age last Friday, tlia
three convicts whom lie was especially in
terested in releasing having sncceedcd in
getting upon tho wall; the unfaithful
guard firing upon them four times, but
being careful not to hit them. 1 wo of the
convicts succeeded in getting over the
wall, hut another guard, wh» was not in
tho secret, fired upon them from another
portion of the wall,killing one of the con
vict», named Strong, wentenced from St..
Clair county; the otbors were pursued,
caught and taken back. These circura
«tances aroused the suspicions of Warden
Buokm aster and Deputy Warden Simonds,
that the guard Smith was playing false,
and plans wore accordingly laid to watch
and detect him. As a pretended mark of
favor, he was promoted to tho position ol
night guard in the cell-house, whçre he
could have opportunity to commifaicato
freely with the prisoners. A convict, who
hnd no previous knowledge of the plot,
was employed to gain Smith's confidence,
and to help "work up" tho affair. Smith
bit at tho bait eagerly and at once. An
other guard was concealed under the de
tect! ve convict's bedstead in the cell, wher«
he laid three successive nights overhearine
everything that passed between Smith
and the convict. Smith, among other
things, told tho convict that he was en
gaged in maturing two plans by which to
raise a general mutiny and stampede. The
first was to enable the priBonors to get pos
session of tho armory, after telling them
where the key was concealed; the officers
of the Penitentiary wore then all to be
shot, and tho prisoners liberated. Tho
other plan was to secure his restoration to
his former position us guard on the wall,
where he always had eight or ten loaded
muakots at his command. Leaving the
lower door approaching his towor on his
wall unfastened, the convicts wore to rush
up, seize the muskets, gag and tie him,
(he having the gag and rope all prepared),
and thon they wore to protect the escape
of all the other convicts by shooting tJio
remainder ol tho guard and officers oi the
prison. In his private interview wilh the
detoctive convict, these he detailed as hi«
own plans, and stated the amount if
money he was to reçoive lor it. He also
furnished tho doUotivo convict with a bot
tlo of aquafortis and a saw in the coll,
with which ho was to make his way ont
and assist tho others.
On tho third night, after overhearing
these plans and co 11 tensions, and tho mode
of proceeding against him haviug been
fully matured by the officers of the I'orii
tontiary, the concealed guard gave a pro
concortod signal from his hiding placo un
der the detoctive convict's bod, whereupon
Deputy Warden Simonds entered tho coll -
house, and, in sight of Smith, unlocked
tho cell and brought out the codcealod
gnard. Instantly appreciating the cir
cumstances of his detection, Smith fell
down in a spasm of terror and consterna
tion. He was taken to the solitary prison,
whore, after the recovory ol his bewildered
senses, he immediately made a clean
breast ol tho whole matter to the Deputy
Wardou, confessing everything as above
narrated, with several additional particu
lars, indicating that the fellow had planned
aud was about executing a plot that would,
if he had not boon thus fortunately de
tected, have led to one of the most fearful
scenes of massacre and horror known in
the annals of sanguinary mutinies, em
bracing the slaughter of ail the officers and
guards of the prison, and lotting loose
upon the usually quiet city of Joliet and
vicinity an army of botwoen six and seven
hundred of the most hardened desperadoes
extant."
Smith was next day taken before Justice
Ben j. Richardson, of Joliet, who, in defanlt
of bail, had him committed to the county
jail of Will county.
jJ3gT Michael Harrington, of New Bed
ford, called on an undertaker, engaged a
coffin for Iiis wife, who, ho said, had sud
denly died, and borrowed of the amiable
undertaker a little money for certain nec
essary expenses. Tho undertaker went to
the house to measure the corpso, and lo '.
Mrs. Harrington came to the door, never
having dreamed that she was dead. He
suddenly remembered that he had lent
some money.— Prov. Bulletin.

À History of Signboards— Victor Hugo
and Gavrochf.—K curioua volume has been
a long time in preparation in England.
Its title is "The History of Signboards,
Ancient and Modern, with anecdotes of
Famous Taverns and Remarkable Charac
ters." Upwards of four hundred pugos of
interesting particulars and anecdotes have
already twin printed, and a great many
drawings of old signs have been made for
the work. Such signboard oddities as the
"Bull and Last," "Elephant and f riar,"
"Kail and Two Calves," with hundreds of
othor tavern decorations, will receive, we
are assurod, full elucidation. Tho London
Review gi ves the following anecdote, which
very recently was an item of gossip iu
Brussels :
"One morning, a few weeks since, an
elderly and respectable gentleman might
have been seen on the Place do l'Hôtel de
Ville gazing with much curiosity at a sign
over a tobacconist's. The words which
excited hi» surprise wore 'An Petit Gav
roche.' Looking first on the sign and
then at the nun,l»or of the house, he said
lo tho friend who was with him, 'I really
don't understand that; it certainly was
here!' Without more consideration he
entered, and, speaking loan elderly lady,
said : 4 I bog pardon, madame, but have
you resided in this houso very long !' 'No,
monsieur, we have only been here about
two yours.' 'May 1 ask wliy yuu took that
sign? aud, if I am not too inquisitive, do
yon know M. Victor Hugoî' "1 do not;
but 1 know little Gavroche, for I have
read Les Miserables.' 'Did you like the
book?' 'Indeed I did, for I too, belong to
the people. I have seen barricades, and I
have been in prison for political Opinion »
sake.' From incidents in her curcoi" she
turned aside to her political opinions,
which were ultra lïed Republican. On
concluding » long list, of these—for tho
subject was a favorite one, and her listeuer
was very attentive—the gentleman hold
out his hand to her, saying ; 'Madame, al
low me to shake hands with you a» a
friend. 1 am tho father ot little Gav
roche.' It is Victor Hugo. His astonish
ment upon seeing his lit.tle hero's name on
a sign was doubled by its hanging oil tho
house in which he commenced writing
Le» Miserables."
HTA young lady moving in the up|>cr
circle» at Chicago was betrothed at the
beginning of the war to a lieutenant in
tho army. He was killed in battle, and
his body takeu homo aud buried by hi*
nearest friend and comrade, who was with
him when he fell. To this young man
the lady's affections wore very naturally
transferred in time, aud she engaged to
marry him. When the happy day arrived,
and just as the clergyman was about to
pronounce thorn man and wife, the lady
suddenly fainted, aud being revived, for
bid any further procedure, as she said she
had seen the spirit of her former lover,
and he was opposed to the match. She
persisted in her decision, and hasaiuee re
tired to a convent.
