LONDON TOWER. THE STOKY OF COL. BLOOD. I3TERBSTINO BBMIXWCENCE3 THK CROWN jiwim (ML. blood's attkmpt to stkal THM-THK W ARROW ESOATK HIS KURTH KB HISTORY. In the Chicago Tribune of lst Sunday ap peared an account of Col; Wood's famous at tempt in 1371 to steal : the crown jewels of England: My first desire, on reaching London, waa to yisit the world-renowned Tower. The immense pile stands on the eastern extremity of the city, and Is wonderfully imposingnot for its architectural beauty, for it has none, but for its gloomy, solemn solidityevery stone seeming to frown defiance to chance and time. It appears to nave been built to last forever. Commenced more than eight centuries ago, by William the conqueror, it gradually increased in strength and importance, ualil iUname be came farailUr throughout the ci vilizad world. For centuriei it was the abode 01 royalty, od the king and queens of Eogland not only tonnd shelter within iU wUa in time of war, buthousfsof luxury and magnilleonee in time of peace. In proctss of lime it became a prison as well as a palace, and, it tbo dumb Moots could le uiad to speak, we should fehuddor at the blood-curdling secret they wouid reveal. Among the unhappy victims who have perished here, mostly at the hands of tho headsman, we recall the names of Lady Jane Grey, Catherine Howard, Anne Boleyn, Sir Walter Raleigh, King John of France, William Wallace, Lord William Husell, the Countes of Salisbury, Sir Thomas Mortf and a whole army of other unfortunates conspicuous for thir crimes or their virtnen, their mUlortunes or their Intrigues. The immense structure covers an area of 12 acres, and within this space numerous separate buildings have been erected, including the Barracks, White Tower, St, Peter's Tower, Bloody Tower, in which the young princes were murdered ; theBowver Tower, in which the Duke of Clarence was drowned in a cask of wine: the Block Tower, in which Lady Jane Urey was confined; the Beauchamp Tower, which was once the prison of Anne Boleyn; the Museum, Armories, Picture Galleries, and the famous Jewel House. Wilhin the latter building are kept ' THE CROWN JEWELS of the British Empire. Prominent among them is the orown worn by Victoria at the time of her coronation, which originally c03t nearly ? 1,000 ,000, and which contains, in the aggregate, 2,800 diamonds, of various sizes, and all of unrivalled brilliancy. Besides, the jewel house contains numerous other crowns, of monarchs long since dead; the orb a globe of gold six inches in diameter, studded with diamonds; St. Edward's Staff, of K-lid gold, tour feet and seven inches long and weighing ten pounds ; the golden scepter; the world renowned Kohinoor, valued at flt,000,000; and numerous other jewel of enormous value, the property of the nation, and essential to the maintenance of royal magnificence and pomp. These baubles Lave' a curious history. In the early days of the nation, when her monarchs were both poor and proud, tcese glittering appendages of the kingly -estate werd not infrequently "spouted" to raise money to m9C their personal expenses. Henry III, Kdward III, Henry V. Henry VI, and Richard II, each borrowed large sums of money from the merchants ot London, leaving with the lenders these crown treasures aa a pledge that the loans would b repaid. On the abolition of monarchy in Koglacd, after the death of Charles I, tho jewels were stolen, destroyed or sold. On toe restoration Charles' II caused a new regalia to be constructed, at a cost o $1,000,000; and a large chamber in the tower was set apart tor their safe-keeping, which is now known as the jewel house. II struck the writor as a little singular that the Kng1'ish government should enact an Insiguiticant lee from each visitor; and I could not repress the thought, and hardly the expression, that it was unseemly for the British nation to turn showman, and exhibit the baubles of its sovereign at so much per head. Tfcouga the jewel house is situated near the center ot a largo collection of buildings known by the general name of the tower of Loudon, the yards, walls, and corridors ot which are ever swarming with people, and though carefully watched and strongly guarded, : numerous i and ingenious attempts .have been made to steal the jewels. Among the most noted, as well as the most daring, of these attempts, was that of Col. Blood, uiade in 1671, which, for ingenuity of plot and boldness of execution, has cot been excelled by anything in these modern days.- Blood was the son of a wealthy Irish merchant, whose means enabled him to give his son a liberal education, and whose social position secured him the "advantages of &oü society. Young Blood was a liberal in sentiment, and served , m croxwkll's aumt, ' ' wLere be attained the rank of coionel. On the restoration, his estates were confiscated for the part be had borne in the revolution, and he became a penniless wanderer. Kidnapping a lord. The Dnko of Ormond, Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, had been very active in procuring the confiscation of Blood's property, and the latter resolved upon revenge. Calling to his aid four daring and desperate men whom he had known In the army, te mounted them on fleet horse and waited the opportunity. One dark, stormy night, as the duke's carriage was passing along the streets of London the vehieie was stopped, his grace dragged from it, bound, mounted behind one of his captors, and hurried away toward Tyburn their avowed intention being to bang biin on the callows there. 1 oriunateiy on the way, he succeeded in loosening the cords, jumped from . tbe borse. and escaped in the pitchy darkness. A reward of 810,000 was offered for the ar rest of the darloe kidnapper, but none were over apprehended, and it was many years before Blood's agency in the business was known, or even suspected. His next exploit was an attempt to steal the crown He needed money, and he ba.6d royalty; cd these reasons were Quit suiucioot to Momct him to the commission of the of fense. Tn- valuables wore in the jewel bouse, under a glass ca, and under the es pecial care or Talbot lia ward, au oia oiucer ot the kimr'a household. But Blood was not easily baffled. He spent several months ievisicuthe manner of the robbery ana par fectinz the means of eacare. He found that it was essential thai ' he should flrt establish relations ot intimacy with the family of the keeper. Hi he assumed the garb of a clergyman, and, in company with a woman or tuo town, whom he naainor ougbly icstructod as to his designs, be vis itea tho icv.ol bouse, iutrooaeicir the worn aa as bis wifj. While examining the jewels the woman, in accordance with her instructions, feigued audden illness, swooned, and was carried by the kind-hearted keeper to bis private apartments, whero Mrs. Edwards rendered ber every possible attention. The bogus parson professed the deepest f;ratitude for this kindness, and, n a few days, returned with some valuable presents for Mrs. Edwards, as a token of bis appreciation of her kindness to

his wife. An intimacy thus gradually

grew up between the designing hypocrite and tbe Edwards family. They were charmed by his general urbanity, apparent respectability, and seeming piety; and their blind con ndence ereatiy lessened tneanncuities of the villain's tank. Among the members ot Mr. Edward's family was A HAJCDSOMB DAUGHTER. some 17 years of age, in whom Blood pro fessed a deep interest, and finally proposed to the parents a marriage with a nephew of his. 7. bom he represented to be young, respectable, and pious, ..with an income of 300 a year. Tbe young lady's parents approved tbe suggestion, and it was arranged that the suitor should call on a certain day Monday, May 9. On the evening before the time appointed, Blood palled, and requested that, for reasons which he proceeded to give, his nephew might be received at 7 o'clock in tbe morning an hour, it will be perceived, when few people would be likely to be abroad ; and also esked permission for his nephew to bring two friends with him to see the recalia assigning as a reason that the friends were compelled to leave London at an early hour. The simple minded Mr. Edwards was only too glad to oblige hi esteemed . friend, and cladlv consented to the arrangement. At an early hour in the mom Ins; th family were up and prepared to receive their guests and their future son-in-law. Arrival of tho robber. Promptly the pre tended parson and his friends made their appearance every one of them being a conspirator, and each of them carrying con cealed under bis clqak a short sword, a dirk and a pair of pistols. Greeting Mr. Edwards warmly. Blood apologized and bepeca one more Javor, that bis friends might be srfown the regalia at once as they were pressed for time and anxious to depart. Accordingly the party was conducted to the jewel room. Mr. Edwards carefully closing the door arter him, as wa3 his custom. Tho "nephew" bad been left at the entrance, to warn the conspirators inside of approaching danger. The door had no sooner closed than the three villains threw off their disguise, and, drawing their weapons, rushed upon the old man and threatened him with instant death if be gave the slightest alarm. But tbe gallant keeper was not easily intimidated, and shouted for assistance; whereupon he was knocked down, cruelly beaten, and leit for dead. Having thus disposed of the faithful sentinel, Blood and his confederates sot rap idly at work to possess memseives oi tne coveted treasure. The glas in which it was inclosed was shivered at a single blow, and the golden crown guttering with its wealth of gems, was quickly seized, and concealed under the chief conspirator's ample cloak, l'arrott, another of the robbers, took possession of the orb and other gems; while another proceeded to file the golden sceptre in two, that it mizht the more readily be concealed, ivervming nad thus far been auspicious. The scheme had been cunningly devised; tue simple minded keeper had unwittingly extended to the robbers every aid they needed; and they now found themselves AL.ONK IN THE JEWEL HOUSE, r well armed, and in possession of the coveted booty; and it was only the mereät accident which prevented tbe complete success of tbe bold scheme. A son of Mr. Edwards, who was an officer on an English trading vessel, chanced to arrive in port that morning, in company with a biother-in-law, Col. Blackman, or tne liritisn army, wno naa been a pasngor on his vessel and they harfened at once to csu upon me eider J-.a wards. They passed Blood a pretended nephew at the door, and proceeded direnilv to the keeper's room. Tbo sentinel immediately notified his accomplices of the approaching danger, when they made . baste to gather such treasures as they . could conceal, and beat a ..hasty retreat. Hut no sooner naa tbey ten tbo room than Edwards, who bad shrewdly feigned insen sibility, raised himself from the pool ot blood in wnicn ne naa wen tying, ana shouted for help with all his remaining strength. The robbers had, in their hasty night, lett tne uoor oi tne room open, and bis cries were heard by his daughter, who was passing along the hall to the drawingroom, to which sue had been summoned to meet bor brotner. Hastening to tne room from which the cries proceeded, she took in the situation in a glance, and ran shrieking to tho room.wberj ber brother and Capt. Blackmaa were awaiting, exclaiming that her father had been murdered, and tbe crown stolen. ' Young Edwards and his companion hastened to tbe jewel .house and lifted up tho wounded man; but, at his earnest request, they left him and went In pursuit of the robbers, who were straining every nerve to escape.. They had made their way out or tne uaiuing ana crossed tue court yard without molestation, and had readied the drawbridge over the moat. Here they came upon a sleopy . sentinel who halted them; but Blood discharged a pistol at " his head, when tue frightened man, though unhurt, fell, and the fugitives passed over him, cloared the . outer gate, and nearly reached ' the park; where t fast horses bad Deen provided ror tuen, unt the two pursuers had not. been idle, and were rapidlr gaining on them. Just as Blood cloared the last gate Capt. Blackman came up wltu him, ana iney grappled. A tierce struzzie ensuea, out tne captain suc ceeded in overcoming bis antagonist, and tho crown was wrenched from bis grasp. As the daring man thus saw his hopes disap pear, and escape Impossible, he quietly sur rendered. ' and playfully remarked to hia captor, "It was . ' A GALLANT 8TRCQOLK, .. however unsuccessful. It was a struggle for a-crown." Farrott and tbe other accom plices, who had the orb and other jewels, were soon overtaken and captured, and ul timately the woman who had so effectually aided the plot In it inception was arrested Thus endod this bold attempt to steal tne English crown an attempt with few paral lels in any aga. . The king was enraged at this insolent attack on tne emblems or roy alty, ard ordered Blood to be iuunediatot, examined in his presence. Before tbe king, Blood preserved the moat insolent ell root ery. He assured his majesty that he feared nothing, human or divine. Ue was in their powers and expected to suffer. But, he said, be was allied toone of tbe most powerful organizations in the kinjujm, consisting ot thousands of men who had solemnly sworn to stand by e ch other and avence their wrouzs. He mentioned ; sav eral mysterious ax-as-inatlons which had wmr.,.v fair An rlriA latlarih f V.

He said ha would not threaten, but ho would - say, in all kindness, to bis majesty and his ministers, that, if he suffered, their fate would assuredly be . tbo game as those he had - mentioned. As he said this, he was looking directly at thA kirn?, and. no ticin sr that be was visibly affected, he proceeded to say: 'Bnt, if your majesty would spare the lives of a few men, you might oblige the hearts of many; and Your majesty will find that those who are so bold and daring in mischief can, it pardoned and received Into favor, perform eminent service lor the State." The weak

monarch was frightened at Blood's revel a tions, though they were, .In all probability, false; and the fear of vio lence, and the hope ot gaining tbe favor of the powerful faction Blood was supposed to control. Induced him to deal very leniently with the criminal. True, be was returned to prison; but comfortable quarters were assigned him, and his restrictions gradually removed, until finally be was fully released, all proceedings against him dismissed, and ' he was even granted large estates in Ireland. His influence with the king became very great, . and he soon took up his residence In London, and was admitted to the best society, where he was courted and flattered because of his influence with tbe crown. He died in 1690, leaving property valued at $250,000. All his accomplices In the great crime suffered death. ' SOME TALL HANDS. A PKCCLIAR GAME OF POKER FOUR MEN WHO WERE 8CKE OF W1NSISÜ SIXTEEN ACES. A corre spondent of the Tuif, Field and Farm tells of a remarkable game of poker: Sam Ogliviewas a gambler by professsion and practice; but anion the planters who frequented his faro bank (and all of those of any wealth or standing within one hundred miles of Selma took a turn at it when they rould), there was not one who would entertain a question as to Sam's honesty. In that little white cottage, almost hidden by the surroundiDg grove, none but the fairestof faro was dealt, none but the squarest of poker was bet on. When the chips were bongbl and tho cards cut. each one ' felt" that what fortune ment the pack to bring him would not be interfered with by any manipulation of the cards. Hut alas! when whs humanity beyond temptation T Adam fell, Cw fell. Warren fell, (at Bunker Hill,) and even Beocher Is suspected. ' One day Sam was tempted, and ha . But let me give . the detail. Judge Humphrey. Colonel Swain, old Andrews, (wbose plantation was meaured by the thousand acres) and Sol. Lovett, from St. Loots, were sitting in Oglivie's front parlor, playing a snug little game ot draw. All were heavy betters when they held the cards; but just then the cards were running light, and so were the bets. Sam, who cared very little for poker, Lad sat by watchinat tbe game rather than going in it. He held a hand, of course; but hi thoughts were rather on the lay-out in the next room than on the cards in his band. Several times he bad hinted at abandoning the game, but each time the otheis had insisted on going on, so Sam had politely f-tifled hi impatience and bad kept bis seat at the table. As the clock was telling ten, Sam was called from the table, and excusing himself for tbe moment, left the room. His way wss through the back parlor where lay the sleeping tiger. The table with its lay-out, the case, piles cf checks, dec-ts of cards, all were ready for the players, As he glanced carelessly over them a sudden thought seemed to- flash through Sam's brain. A sardonic smile crept over his thin cut lips, and his long fingers played with his mustache, as it to hide the twitching lips from some unseen observer. Advancing t the card-box, where cards by the do.en packs, in unbroken packages, l3y piled up, he busied himself for a moment iri opening packs, breaking wrappers and assorting carJs, then, with an exptcssion of guileless innocence upou his faco, but with a "cold deck" up-Ins sleeve, : be returned to the poker table. Ina few moments it was Sam's turn to deal. His bands faltered as he lifted tbe cards, a deuce spot fluttered into his lap, and, in picking it up, a rapid movement ot the long, lithe lingers had exchanged the table pack for the "cold deck." A erain of remorse seemed to touch- bis heart when he came to serve the cards.. I can't take a haad this deal, gentlemen. 1 have got to step around to the hotel-for a moment." The others acquiesced and: TITF. CARDS WERE DEALT. good hand, one would say, .by the action oj the players.

This checked the game.. Tbe pot was big enough in all conscience, and some, of them trem bled a little as the thought of the thousands plied there and how poor tbe call was to make three of their comrades. Two more 6igbts and a call bro ught the game to a focus. Perspirations stood out upon raore than one forehead, and the fingers that griped tbe cards tighten, perceptibly as the crucial moment . sppre-acbed.
