On Sunday afternoon, one of the col
ored convicts in the Maryland Penltentiary
made murderous assault ON officer John
T. Barber, with an iron bolt which he had
distracted from his beadstead. and had
concealed about his person. The officer
seized his revolver and fired three shots at
his assailant, the first taking effect in the
forehead, the ball glancing off the skull
and coming out at the ear; the second
entered his mouth and lodged about the
root of his tongue; the third ball wounded
him in the thigh, which brought the insur-
gent to the floor, when he begged for
mercy. Till disabled by the third shot he
still advanced upon the officer.
The Patomac river is brdged with ice
at Alexandria, and persons cross on the
frozen bridge. The first man to venture
across was Il Marylander, who had with
him jug to have filled with whisky. He
said that though his meal and bacon had
given out several days ago, the want of
those articles had not induced him to run
the risk of crossing over for more, but that
his liquor gave out that morning, and that,
break in OF not, he was bound to have more
of that. After he had crossed safely, it
was not long before many others followed
his example. Persons have also skated
from Alexandria to Washington, and some
others who live along the rivers banks,
below Alexandria,, come to and go from
the city by the same means.

What appears to l% . valuable tel.-
graphic improvement hiss lately been
brought forward by VI. Lema,,on, in
France. It. chief feature j, the capabi,ity
OF being rapidly set up. The posts are
each made In two or three sections, fitting
into one another. thereby allowing them
to BE- reduced to one-half or third their
greatest height. The lowest section, in
order 10 facilitate erection. is provided at
it, extremity with steel point; the
upper section i, furnished with
cbonitc msulators, which screw
on To the end Of the posts. Steel-fastcn-
ing collars, or rings. fitted with screws TO
press and contract the collars. bind to-
gc,hcr the section, and permit the height
TO be regulated according to the needs Of
the service.
In case OF military march. the posts
may be taken 60 pieces, and therefore
more easily handled than is the case 9TH
crwise. especially when, rs in steep and
rugged roads, they have to be transport
ed on the back of animals. The con-
struction of line on ground open to fire
can be carried out at the height of a man,
without need OF ladders or exposure of
men, and rapidly enough to follow the
movements of an army.

The KANSAS Agricultural College.


The House Committee on Education
and Labor in its report on Agricultural
Colleges, say that they have not been able
to obtain replies from Kansas to their in
quiries in regard TO the investment OF
money received from the sale of Govern
mcnt lands: neither are they able TO give
any statistics of the educational results
derived from the establishment ofan Ag-
ricultural College in that State. To those
who know the character of the politicians
who have controlled the public affairs of
Kansas Of late years. 1t will not be sur
prising that policy of retlcence is OBJ
served in regard to the disposition made
of the land granted to the State. Ii is
very safe to assume that If there has not
been iobbcry in connection with
these grants, it must have been
from oversight or unaccountable negli-
gcncc. II seems there is, however, an
Agricultural College In Kansas, and a
Western journal gives the statistics which
the Congressional committee were I'M
able to obtain. According to this author.

THE city OF London is in danger Of
being eaten up by rats. The danger Is
in the future and does not trouble Lon
doners very much. The rats Of London
live in the sewers, in the brick drains, in
the backs of iire-places. under the floor
ing and between raftcrs. Their rat-sense
is surprising, and the sewcrmen of Lon,
lion believe they have a language of their
own. An cnterprising statistician calcu.
latcs that one pair OF rats, with their pro-
geny, will produce in three years. six
hundred and forty-siX thousand, eight
hundred and eight. II is suggested that
active measures be taken TO avert the
danger threatened by this rapid increase.
Ii is fortunate that London has no Bergh.
