most distressing accidents that has occurred In our
city for some time. A professional tumbier who
arrived in this city about two weeks ago from New
York City, while performing some of his wonderful
feats last Thursday evening, before an admiring
and enth usiastic crowd that were around T. Krel's
window, fell and broke his neck. Krel promptly
glued him together and he can be seen performing
every day and night, together with the creeping
dolls walking dog, dancing figures, mechanical
and hot air toys and host OF other attractions, at
Z. Krells Confectionery Illinois street, where can
also be found the most complete assortment OF toys,
fancy goods, baskets, the hnest stock OF French
and American Candies west of New York Fresh
homemade aandies cakes, pies and crackers every
dax A fresh stock Of nuts ngs fnisins, dates lem
ons cacoanuts, ehestnuts and California pears.

Correspondence of the Beacon.
Washington, d. G., Jan. %, ~,

The prospect of the Cubans being
accorded belligerent rights by Con
gress this session seems better than
ever. Gen. Macias, their represen-
tatIve, having returned here, is
working like a beaver to accom-
Pllsh it. The feeling generally in
Congress is favorable. The brutal
treatment of the Havana students
by the Cuban volunteers calls for
Intervention in the cause of human
lty. Gen. Macias states that astronp.
& exists in Great Britain in
favor OF n joint Intervention with
US in Cuban affairs. President G
is said to be in favor of granting
belllgerent rights, but desires to
couple it with a proposition to ac-

We give below, from the Meridian
Ga@etts, an article on Commercial
Travellers which should be read in
connection with an advertisement
in our columns to-day on the same
subject
There is an erroneous impression
abroad that the decision OF the Su
premo Court of the United States,
in the case of Ward VS., the State Of
Maryland, declares all license laws
OF any State or city, relating to
"Drummers,' null and void. But
on the contrary, the majority ofthe
court held that no State or city can
impose any different tax, license
fec, or charge, for the transaction
oi business therein, by citizens Of
another State, from that which is
imposed on its own citizens, in sim,
liar cases, Justice Bradley, alone,
%dlssented, and Of course his opinion
IS OF no binding efficacy.

Those who intend to take the paper this

APPEAL has been for the last thirty years,
we are resolved that past issues shah be cN'
