the matter, that the twenty-three anti

do assert that the funding bill was not

the argument, the facts and the figures

ST. LOUIS.

ST.. LOUIS, March Pa man named
]. Ballander was arrested yesterday on
suspicion of having obtained on false
pretenses some $lO,O or SO, 600 worth
of jewelry from several New York
houses. A travelling salesman for the
house of Hirsch & OfIenheimer, New
York, yesterday called on the Chief OF
Police and stated that some time in last
January his firm was visited by Ballan-
der, who represented himself as a coun-
try dealer, and purchased a large
amount Of goods, upon which he paid a
norton on account. He also visited
several other establishments, purchasing
altogether some $4,000 or 1000. In
mysterious manner hethen disappeared,
and nothing was heard of him until the
agent met him on the street yesterday.
Ballander is about thirty years old, dark
complexion, with heavy, black mus
tache. On searching him, between.
$1,000 and $780,. several gold pencils,
etc, were found.

who died Thursday last from the effect
of injuries received in row the night

. OVERWHELMING mAyoRIrY.,

A Nashville paper boasts that the pro
test of the anti-funders Of the House
was excluded from the Journal by an
overwhelming majority. Asa matter Of
legislative history We will explain the
majority of the House down TO a
mere majority of the fitnders. When the
vote began to be called two Of the anti
flinders voted aye, but when the name
Of Mr.. Haynes was called he arose and
asked to be excused from voting as he
was one of the signers OF the protest.
He was excused, aud the two others with
drew their votes on the same ground.
Twenty of the signers Of the protest and
two of the funders did not vote at all.
The overwhelming majority may be a
matter of pride and congratulation, but
the entire vote came from the flinders.
II the twenty signers Of the protest had
voted it would have been carried by a
majority of two votes. But il is unusual
to take such votes. A protest is neees-
sariIy in the nature Of an argument;
otherwise it would be an absurdity. All
the protests of the session, in both
houses, were carefully prepared ar
guments. Mr.. Coulter, for instance,
objected TO the constitutionality Of the
tipping bill, and gave his reasons The
Speaker, Mr.. Lacey, if we remember
correctly, simply directed the clerk to
spread the protest on the journal. This
IS the rule that generally prevails. But
it is all right; that protest has been put
where Il will do the most good

audience appeared at the Grand Opera
House last night. The Putnam people
presented two good comedies, the Une-
qual Match: ~isk Miss Katie Putnam as
"Hester," aud Don't Judge by Appear
anees, in which she appeared as
Diana" In both pieces Miss Putnam
APPEARED 10 considerable advantage, and
gave most pleasing rendition Of the
roles. The Patnam company is beeom-
ing quite popular, its manager having
struck the popular taste at an nuspi-
cious moment, there being no other the

reason, effectively. Nothing destroys

acting Of the leading player more than

who know not their parts Of speech At
the matinee this afternoon the Daughter
of the Regiment will be produced, with

role she will sing "iSalut a France"

Astronomical.

An eminent European astronomist
has announced curious theory con-
corning the nature Of Saturns rings
his theory being nothing more uor less
than that these rings are composed OF
numbers Of small satellites revolving
round the planet, which satellites are,
in fact. meteors arrested by the planet as
they descended toward the sun. The
conclusion is arrived at that the energy
of the suns light and heat has been
derived from meteors falling into tia
theory, however, long since propounded
and discussed in scientific circles. but
which is met by still anotker hypothesis,
namely, that the solar corona consists Of
meteors elected by the sun; though it is
difficult to understand how the eject
ing force can be perpetuared. That
the solar light and heat are main
tanned by meteors falling into the
sun is not, perhaps, improbable-these
meteors being generated into the realms
Of space by the action Of light upon the
imponderable ether, producing such
motions in it as generate gravity and
lead TO aggregation. ll u
