The eyebrows had been shay- ed away; the dress was that of a com- mon saflor ffon Newcastle, and was black with coal dust; but there was no mistaking the savage eyes and mouth of Jeffreys. The alatm was given. In a mo- ment the house was surrounded by hun- dreds of people, shaking bludszeons and bellowing curses. The fugitive's life wa< saved by a company if train hands and he was carrléd before the Lord Mayor. When the great man, at whose frown a few days before the whol kingdom haa trembled, was dragged, into the justice room begrimed with ashes ha¥ dead with fright and followed by a raging multh tude; the mayor was visibly agitated Jeffreys became so frightened at the at- titudé of the mob that he begged to bhe sent to prison. E An order to that effest was procured from the Lords, who were sitting at ‘Whitehall, and he .was conveyed in a car- riage to the Tower. Two regimenis of militla Wwerg called out to escort him and found the duty a difficubt one. It was repeatedly necessary for them to form as if for the purpose of repeling a charge of cavairy, and to ppresent a forest of jlkes to the mch. The wrétched Jeffreys wWas in convul- sions of terror. He wrung his hands, he looked wildly about and was heard even above the tumult erying: “Keep them off gentlemen! For God's sake keep them oft " Finally he was safcly lodged in the Tower. On the foliéwing day he was examined by & deputation of four Lords. He ap- péars to have yetitioned for a pardon from Willlam, acknowledging his crimes to have been as énonmous as his enémies and promising to @lscover secrets relat- ing to suecéssion. Confinement. however, goon began to tell upon his health. He was visited by thrée deputiss from the Kinz, to all of whom he affirmed that the se- verities of the bicody assizes had fallen short of the royal demand, and that by his forbearance he had extremely dis- pleased the King. Before his ecase could come to trial and judgment be passed, the one-time emin- ent judge had become so emanciited and week that it would have been useless to have carried him to the judgment seat, and he died in prison on April 18, 1689, In the 41st vear of his age. Following his death a number of bills were allow- ed against kis estate for the recovery of ! sums that he had criminally extracted from those who had been brought before him as a judge.

The tubes were first laid in 1865 by a private company as an experiment, to carry large quantifies of mail matter by pneumatic draught.
