About three months ago a man named John J. Johnson shot his brother in law. in Arkansas. lied to Kansas. was convicted for one year in the peni- tentiary. lIe was sent inlroru I’ottowatomie County. and his sentence was considered unusually light.

After serving one quarter of his time. this modern “ Sheppard." who was regarded by all the prison officials asa harmless and rather mediocre sort of a criminal. managed to clude the \ igilanco at his guards and escaped. This was on Tuesday. July 2nd. Ills wife. of whom lte scouted to think cousidnabls. for a married man. “as living as a domestic in the house of Mr. Buttsernnu. about one hull mile from the l'cnitentiary. as was his boy. a lad ol'uine years. Johnson. the hero of the cam- pa'lun. laid in the bushes within gunshot of the grim walls of his captivity. for three days. and nights. uni-cared by the tramp of the thundering steeds and tho vigilant search of the prison police, who were on his truck.

altilltlsou'fl object in remaining thus close to the hated prison walls was to communicate with his wife and boy. and secure their cotnyany in hia cs- cape voyage. deeming very properly that the pre- sence ala woman and child \vould aid rather than impede his progress. Besides. he lovcd them. On the morttiugof the third day. Johnson went to Butt- sertnan's house bclore daylight. and tapped on the bedroom window. calling his wife by name. I‘olly ! II: still bad on ltis prison suit. and was discovered. and lelt hastily. having been informed tltttl Ins thcl was at the pcnileuliury anti would wait there for! him. He did not deem it advisable to suck that9 hotel. however. and made for Louisville. I’otlowa- tomi County. where he had. or supposed he had. friends. We next hear of him at that place by a letter from the sheriff of that cottttty to Sitel‘ill O;- deu‘ol Lawrence. where he endeavoured to get a man to visit the Peuitcnt'ary and bring away his wile‘and boy. The man refused. and Jack Shep- pard toolt an abrupt departure. going back the same night and stealing‘the man's best horse. a magnificent brown. with black mono and tail. standing sixteen hands high. and an excellent traveller. A large re- ward is offered for the recovery of the valuable horas.

' Laying low. and setting a due value on blooded stock. the knight of the bush succeeded in either selling the brown horse for a good round of stint or trading himJor a gray paghwbicb he did. has not yet tran- spired. only this is known that he appeared in the neighborhood on the 15th inat.. with a gray horse. which he attempted to sell to a negro farmer for $20 on these conditions: First that said negro should go to Battserman's. find hishoy. and tell him to meet hie uncle at. a certain place in the neighbor- ing woods. The boy was put. and the negro went for his horse. The boy. meeting his gallant and pious lather—who would do for a quarter-master— all was lovely now. except how to cheat the negro out of his horse and get Mrs. J. Johnson onlol her habitation. wherever that might be. anti into the arms of the brilliant financier and borscjockey. This was easily done.

The boy goes back to the farm house’. to which his mother had returned and resumed her duties in the kitchen. and “ tapping softly and speaking low." his maternal ancestor put on her mistross' best shawl and sattnteretl to the woods in which the lord of her bottom was reclining on the fragrant turf In the m‘eanttmé‘ the mm mm gone to town to mt his hounty's claims. to raise the 86 t for the horse. Alas: when the dusky son of Africa returned. the gray ham was in the penitentiary stables. the gltllt'tls had nabbed him. The negro being innocent of any complicity in the matter. Was not disturbed. He felt that he had been sold. however.

No further tidings wore heard from Johnson ttntil Tuesday night. when he went back to the negro's and stole the saddle and bridle. Yesterday morn- ing Deputy Warden Hopkins and‘B. H. Dunlap. Esq.. started on their fastest nag: to the hunt and the chase.

The spot where the loving family had lain through Thursday night's, rain was discovered about three miles from the penitentiary. They wete tracked a long distance on the soft earth when. beholdl the footprints censsd to be human and became those 01 horses. Like agallant Knight the. captain could not see his wife and little boy walk further. anti donated them both—upon horses that will probably by advertised soon—not the brown horse nor the gray. for the gray is sale—dint other horses taken from disloyal man probably.—the horses owned and possessed by their owners till this modern jay-hawker pounced victorioust upon them. Dun- lap the major saw a boy near a house in which they thought information could be obtained tending to the capture of Johnson. yesterday.and alterqaeetioning the boy proceeded on tl air way. were surprised to sso‘a horseman ride up to the boy and suddouly de- [um .

The officers returned only to learn that the boy Milo Iutd been asked by the strange horseman. ~Who those men were 7' and that he had replied very hur- riétlh‘. ".I'd better be off.” and of he was. John- ‘son had made a considerable sum of money on his ' brown and gray horse operations between the 11th

without much life or animation of character. He has ed however. the boldest and most successful 4 {creamth anywhere. Hahn secured liberty. ' porta a. sat! a suit of cltisen‘s clothes. a roll at

But there are su'ch things as esll- tings from on high. and although God is not a vin- dictttive God. and does not punish with ill success in life His Creature who does not study Ilia will in His regard ; yet it is certainly just to say that'for him who tloet not study God‘s will in choosing a sphere otnctiou. success is more asettred than for him who does not.

Thus. we doubt but. it has been even uith saints. even whom circumstan- ces have surrounded at tlrst. rendering it difficult for them to discrn their exact state. For no sooner Were they settled as their written lives tell us. in their proper sphcrc.thau a sweet peace dwelt in their souls. and they went on their way rejoicing; yes. rejoicing. though their lot were cast amid the so- \ttl'ettl trials anti the thoruirst paths of life.

It is of great tuoucnt. then. tltttt a man on enter- ing life prove himself in the presence of his God. so to see if t_berc be not some special designs of Providence upon him. and he adopt that profession or occupation for his future career which is suited to the aspirations of his soul. Giving his whole will up to God. and by purifying his conscience. rendering himself capable of seeing Heaven's inspi- ring voice. let him decide once for all.and tltcrealler pursue his vocation with perseveriux industry. attd a confiding heart It is true of us that we are the property of God. and this is His creation. and that He has a right to place as as lie wills. It is. be- sides. in cousonunco with our origin. and our end. depending as we do tor ottr being and our ultimate happiness tthD God. that we seek to do his will in all thinga. so as to secure to our being: the greater blessing. and a readier arccptation of its beatitica- tion.

The punishment of death has been solemnly and forever banished from the Portuguos code of law by the Chamber of Deputies. What is hardly loss worthy of remark. the Cbnmbe‘r passed the bill etn- bodying this great change with only two diesentient votes. It has long been the tacit custom in Porto- gal not to inflict the punishment of death. but the fact which is notified by ottr own Embassy at Lisbon in his last report that murders have decreased under this mild rcyfmem-lltts had. of course. a great eflect in producing so remarkable an unanimity. Portu- gal is added to tile long lial of states in Europe—- beginning with the Illustrious reforms in Tuscany

last century—which have gravely broken away from those ancient Mosaic pandccts that exitct blood for blood.
