A DISAPPOINTED BLOODHOUND OF ZION.
The people of the South have been at
loss to account for the bitter and relentless.
persecution of the late ex-President johnson
BY portion of the Radical press of the North,
especially by the poltico- religious press The
following extract from an editorial article in
the Dayton Herald Of Gospel Liberty, the
Ohio organ of the Methodist Episcopal Church
North, throws some light on the matter
This sanguinary follower of the Lamb of
Peace says:
"Johuson had his faults, indeed. but. with.
out doubt. they were both magnified and nu
merically exaggerated. When Lincoln died,
the loyal heart thanked God for that Joshua
who was to succeed our American Moses. He
disappointed our expectations, and most of all,
in suffering the Canaani,es to live. His
patriotic indignation was satisfied with the
blood that wet the altar whereon Mrs. Surra,t
was sacrificed. We had supposed that noble
heads would come down, and that the blood
OF the first families would flow. But the
affairs did not CLEAN with blood, and herein,
johnson did not prove much of Noses"
TUE SAVANNAH NEws.-We again feel
called upon to invite the attention of our
readers to this meritorious journal, the Daily
and Weekly issues of which have so rapidly
reached every section of the State, within the
last few years, that the Ne,Os has become a
household word in Georgia. The enterprise
OF the publisher, and industry aud ability of
the editorial corps, has made the Necs what
it is-a irst-class journal; and there is every
assurance that it will continue in the same
proud career. We cordially commend it to
the favorable consideration of all who desire
to secure live metropolitan newspaper.

A Plucky Student.

AT half-past one o'clock on Saturday
morning the students of Trinity college
were startled by the report of pistol in
the south building. 1t was fired by man
who entered the room for the purpose of
robbing the occupants. The robber was
IN sked, held small revolver in his hand,
and exclaimed to student who was sit
ting in chair, "Your money or your life"
The student walked boldly up to him and
said he wouldn't give him his money. The
robber said he would shoot him if he
didn't, and fired, the ball passing over the
students head. The latter then struck
the robber iu the face, felled him to the
floor, and with the assistance of fell
low student tied him securely. At
the station house he gave the name of Ju-
Illus Hoyle. He is well dressed, well ap-
pearing young man of 25. He says he Is
respectfully connected and has been educa-
ted at the Wilbraham academy, Massachu-
sets. His parents, according to his story,
live in Milford. He says he has been un-
fortunate of late and has only about two
dollars left and when he became short of
money he thought the best place to get
some would be the college, where he
thought all the students had plenty.

tial features every scientific principle
made use of in telegrapby. The year 1887
witnessed the application TO commercial
purposes. Morse In this country, Wheat
stone and Cooke in England, and 8. On
heel in Germany, all appearing distinct and
independent claimants for the honor Of Its
introduction. The work which these men
did is never to be forgotten. 1t was a
work which the scientific investigator
would probably never have undertaken.
Do roots absorb coloring matter is
curious physiological question discussed BY
NJ. II. Bsillon in paper addressed to the
academy of sciences. "1n the few cases
in which colored infusion has been pre-
sented to really intact roots, or such as
have grown under water, no absorption OF
the colering matter has taken place through
those organs. Still there is remarkable
fact recorded by Blot and confirmed by
Unger, viz, that white hyacinths, on being
abundantly watered with solution of the
Juice of the berries of Poytoiacea decaudrG
turn red, and therefore absorb the color
ing principles" The plant here mentioned
is a native of Virginia, where it is called
pecan, or vulgarly poke its fruit stains
with an intense purple color. Blot, in his
experiments, used to cut the stalk of the
hyacinth, and in that case the juice of the
| pecan operates with extraordinary rapidity.
| At temperature of twenty degrees Gen.
tigrade the white flowers became thoroughly
| tipged with red in the course OF half an
| hour, aud at lower temperature the phe-
nomenon takes place somewhat slower, but
still completely.
The question as the ability Of the salmon
to remain permanently in fresh water has
received an important illustration during
the past winter. 1t is well known that the
lakes of Maine along the coast contain a
variety of fish known as the landlocked
salmon, which, while possessing the exter-
nal appearance and peculiar habits of the
salmon, together with equal excellence oil
flesh, is much smaller, and remains per
manently in the lakes aud 1t is still avexed
question whether this is actually descen.
dant of the true sea salmon or different
species. An argument in favor of Its being
the former is afforded by the fact that ir
two localities young salmon, Matched from
eggs of the true sea salmon collected a.
Bucksport, have lived in fresh water ponds
and yielded ripe eggs during the past au
tumn; In the one case at New Hope, Pa.
the fish attaining several pounds in weight
while some bred IN Wisconsin were only
five to seven inches in length, though per
fectly mature in every respect. In the frs
case, however, the ponds were quite large
and offered ample space for the movement
of the fish, while in the other they wer,
confined to small trout ponds of only
few yards in extent. Whether the egg
thus obtained will produce healthy young
and whether these will attain maturity, ar
questions of much interest.

The Lea Ter of a Gang Of Burglars
Almost Captured in Greenbush.

1t seems that the leader of gang Of
burglars who attempted TO rob the Great
Barring on bank had narrow escape from
being captured, and after long chase sue
ceeded III throwing the pursuers off the
track in Els. Greel bush. The man arrived
ut Siter's hotel in that village, little after
daylight on Saturday morning, and stated
that the team of horses he had been driving
belonged to man n Chatham and asked
the hotel keeper to send it back. lie paid
for the board of the team for Saturday.
The man first stopped at Beachs hotel
in Chatham VILLAGE on Friday the 2lst,
at 8 a. M, with team of horses and re-
NAMED to breakfast. After one more visit
he came to the village on the train from
Albany on Thursday the 21th and regis
tered his name as G.. Comstock, New York,
called for a room and had breakfast. He
hired a team from the landlord and did not
return until next morning. He made two
or three such journeys from Chatham, re-
naming all night Friday, on the night of
the robbery, he came in from Albany on
the six o'clock train and took the team
away with him again, saying that he would
return at six in the morning, but he did
not come. The Hudson Star tells Of his
operations after that time as follows
On Saturday morning at 4 o'clock the
team, with two men in the carriage, was
seen near the dug-way beyond spencer
town, and driving rapidly towards Chat
ham village, and on the same morning at
430 they drove through Chatham village
at furious rate, headed towards Albany,
the horses toaming and rocking with sweat.
Landlord Beach, his team not being re-
turned as agreed upon, started with Sheriff
Haynor on Saturday night at 1920 o'clock
in pursuit, visiting Nalatie Undertook,
Stuyvesant Landing, Cocksachie Ferry,
Stuyvesant Falls, and returning struck
their trail at "Pine Grove" near Kinder
hook, and from there traced the parties to
East Grenbush, where the team was found,
at Sluytor's tavern, well taken care of, and
its keeping paid for in advance on Satur-
day. The person leaving it stated that it
belonged to u man at Chatham, and he
wanted the landlord to send it back
Comstock is man about thirty years of
age, five feet eight inches high, dark hair,
well dressed, has whiskers and moustache,
and gentlcmanly in appearance, and has
plenty of money Nothing in his appear
ance or movements excited any suspicion,
and landlord Beach says he would have let
him have team for ten days had he want
ed it for that length of time. Had the
bank telegraphed to Chatham early on Sat
urday of the robbery, Beach and Haynor
would have started in pursuit twelve hours
earlier, and possibly might have nabbed
them at Greenbush, as they were there a
part of, if not all day, Saturday.
