LAND.-The Hibernia brought advi-
ces of am assault on the Queen. of
land on the 9th ult., by an individual
named Plato, formerly an officer in
the 10th regiment of dragons. 1t
appears that shortly after 6 O'clock
on the evening ofthe 9th, her Ma
jesty was leaving Cambridge House
in company with Prince Albert,
when from the crowd assembled to
see her departure, a man walked out
with a walking cane in his hand, and
made an assault on the person other
Majesty. He struck her ON the head
and face repeatedly, but Fortunately
no effect was produced beyond a de-
molition of her bonnet. The Queen
appeared at the Italian opera the
same evening, where she was greet
ed with the most loyal and enthusi-
astic reception. The assailant had
been taken into custody and has u,.r
dergone an examination at which he
appeared perfectly sane, and it is
said he has been living in good cil-
cumstances.-S. Rights Republican.
The PRESIDENTS FAMILY.-Mr.
Fillmore was married in 1896 to tAAb b.
igail Powers, the youngest child of
Rev. Lemuel Powers. She is still
living, and is described as lady of
great worth, modest and unobstru-
tive in her department, and highly
esteemed for her many virtues. They
have but two children. The oldest,
a son, is young man of about TWEEN
ty-one gears ofage, who has Just en-
tered upon the practice OF the law in
Buffalo. He is said to be gentle
man of fine qualities, al worthy to
be the son of a Republican President,
The daughter presents more nota-
bic example. She is about eighteen
years of age. Her accomplishments
are many and varied, and her indie
pendent, self-reliant character is ex-
hlbited in the fact that she is now, or
was very recently, a teacher in one
of the free public schools in Buffalo.
She is one of the women of whom the
Republic has much more reason TO
proud than of all the gay, gaudy wo-
men of fashion, who often show as
much scom for school teachers as
they do ignorance ofthe true quail
ties of arepublican character. Such
a family will do honor to the White
House.-Ev. Bulletin.
DANGERS OF THE PPff.sfss.= The
people of lndependencerecently held
an immense mass meeting, in which
memorial to Congress was adopted,
praying protection from the Indians
along the line of the Santa Fe trail.
A large amount ofcapital Is invested
IN this trade, and the proceeds of it
are oigreat consequence to the peo-
pie of Western Missouri. Probably
sales to the amount oftwo millions of
dollars is not too high an estimate to
place upon it, and the trade is CON
stantly and rapidly on the increase.
Surely Congress will no longer suffer
the depredations and outrages OF the
Indians TO pass rrnavonged

A MARRYING GENUS There is a
man in the New York penitentiary
who has had twenty-seven wives.
He is just thirty-six years ofage, and
has been engaged in the matrimonial
business since he was sixteen, and
has therefore, had a new wife every.
seven months, getting rid of the old
spouse, and counting The new one ad
interim. He declares he will have a
hundred wives before ne dies, if they
do not cramp his genius within stone
walls.
SOMETHING WRONG IN THE TIDES.
IF we may believe writer in slie
New Bedford Mercury, there IS OF
ther something wrong in the tides
about the Polynesian Islands, or the
received theory fthe rise and fall of
the sea needs mending. Capt. Luck
ley, of the bark Harvest, lately re-
turned from q whaling voyage, states,
and fortiies his statements with the
atiidayits of individuals who have
lived for the last twenty years at the
Society Islands, shat the time OF
high water takes place between, the
hours Of Ill and o'clock, without
any variation, unless caused bywinas.
The different phases ofthemoon have
no effect whatever in changiDg the
time OF high water. At the full and
chang the tides are fromsix to EIGHT
inches higher; the fttllrlse being about
two feet.'' ~ 81
