The Assault On Lieut.. HOxie.
ms AssAILANTs FINED so EACH.


kyrOn A. Murphy and Charles I. Davis,
charged with assault and battery on Lieut.. L.
l.. HoXie, chief engineer for the District of
Columbia. were before the Police Court TO-
day. Lieut.. HoXie testified that the assault
took place in his own office. He was sitting at
his desk. in blgh-back armchair completely
pinioned in, when, about 10 O'Clock, these men
entered. Mr.. Davis was behind him, and Mr..
Murphy at his side, the latter holding u slip of
paper clipped from a morning newspaper, and
asked him if he was responsible for its publ
cation. He was about to explain that he was
responsible for giving two facts contained in
il To the reporter for that paper, when Murphy
struck him 4 heavy blow on the chin and
mouth. drawing blood from his nose. He then
detailed the further tussle he had with both of
his assailants, and their suddenly leaving hi
cane Considerable cross-eXaminatiOn fol-
lowed. Lieut.. ii. stated that he was alone. his
clerk being absent. but he had since found out
that a man named Riley was in the AL Joining
room, occupied by his clerk and his boy
George (cOlored.)
George Tansill. the cOlored messenger. tes-
tilted that he heard Scuffie i'm the Lieutenant 5
room, and ran in there, where he found the
Lieutenant and Murphy clenched. Saw Mr..
Riley pull him of. and he (witness) caught hold
Lieutenant and backed him over into corner
of the room and kept him away. Mr.. Davis
tried TO get to the Lieutenant.
Contractor VIM. l.. Riley testified corr0bOra-
ting The preceding witnesses.
VIM. Riley. an elderly gentleman, was called,
but his testimony was unimportant.
Lieut.. HOXie was recalled, and questioned
by the Judge as to his official duties, and testi-
fled that these defendants had had official re-
latiOns with him. He had had occasion to pass
upon some work they had been doing, and had
found il executed in most unsatisfactory con-
ditiOn, and had diSapprOyed it.
Counsel for prosecution rested his case here,
and defence having no witnesses. simply read
the article which led to the assault and put it
in evidence.
The court said the position of chief engineer
was one of great responsibility. Such an
officer must be a bold man, one ready TO meet
all cases of fraud upon the taxpayers, and he
should be an honest man. When work was
improperly done. 1t was proper that the tax
payers should know il, and the newspapers
generally are the medium of such information
Tor the people. Iii rufhans are to be allowed to
stand by and silence this officer, then the
rights of taxpayers are at an end. 1t appears
that these contractors went to this office for
the purpose of making this assault. IL was an
assault upon public officer i'm the discharge
Of his duty, and he imposed a fine of $50.
An appeal was taken.

Tapioca.

Where IL is Found and Hoic il is Pre-
pared Curious Facts. The plant from
which tapioca is obtained is a native of
South America, and cultivated eXten-
sively in Brazil, as also in many parts
of the East Indies and the Indian Arch
ipelagO. Ii is 4 woody plant, with
slender stalks, and grows To the height
of about eight feet, and known as the
Cassava or MaRioc plant. Ithas smooth,
palm-shaped leaves, and bears small
green flowers, which grow in clusters,
with an immense-siZed fleshy root,
sometimes weighing as much as forty
or fifty pounds. The plant belongs to
highly poisonous tribe, and is itself
one of the most virulent of the species.
This poison is found more particularly
in the juice of the plant, a small guam
tity killing birds, quadrupeds, and even
man himself, causing cold perspiratiOns,
great swelling and convulsions, gener-
ally ending in death; but this deleteri-
Gus substance is so highly volatile if
exposed to heat, or even the open air
for about two days, that its property is
entirely dissipated.
4 Surinam physician administered
it, by way of experiment, to dogs and
cats. which died after twenty-five
minutes in dreadful agony. Dissection
proved that it operated by means of the
nervous system alone-an opinion con-
firmed by thirty-six drops being given
to a criminal. These had hardly
reached the stomach when such tor
ments and commissions ensued that the
man expired i'm six minutes. Three
hours afterward the body was opened,
when the stomach was found shrunk TO
half its natural size, so that it would ap-
pear that the poisonous principle resides
i'm the volatile substance, which may be
dissipated by heat, as indeed is satisfac-
torily proved by the mode OF preparing
the root for food.
The root from which tapioca is pro-
cured is of rapid growth and comes to
perfection in six months, and somewhat
resembles huge parsnip. 1t is then
taken up and washed, and the rind,
which is of dark color, peeled off:
then grated or ground into a pulp, and
the pulp submitted to pressure, by
which the juice is expressed and pre-
served. The meal or pulp that remains
in the press being dried is called coma
que, and is made into bread or cake,
which is called cassava bread The
expressed juice, after being allowed to
stand, deposits white powder, which,
after being well washed and dried, con-
stitutes what is called tapioca flour or
Brazilian arrowroot, and by the French,
moussache. All the products of the
roots are nutritious and easy of diges-
ton. The natives frequently ferment
the expressed juice with molasses and
form an intoxicating beverage called
onycan, that supplies the place of wine
and beer of the temperate climate.
When the climate is favorable, the
plant is of a hardy nature and easily
cultivated. 1t requires dry situation
and the land TO be of good quality and

The Omnibus.

OF all the public conveyances that
have been constructed since the days of
the ark, commend us to an omnibus. In
stages there is no change, no variety.
After the first twelve hours or so peO-
pie get cross and sleepy; and when you
have seen man in his night cap, you
lose all respect for him. Then on
smooth roads people frequently get
prosy, and tell long stories. Again,
there is the whole train of evils conse-
quent on change of the eoachman.
Now you meet with none of these
Affections in an omnibus. The passen-
gers change like the figures in kaleid-
escope, and though not so glittering,
are far more amusing. We believe there
is not an instance on record of a mans
having gone to sleep in one of these
vehicles. As TO long stories, who would
venture to tell one in an omnibusg and
even if he did, nobody could hear what
he was talking about.
Yes, after mature reflection, we are
decidedly of opinion that of all known
vehicles, from the glass coach, in which
we were taken to be christened, TO that
sonbre caravan In which we must one
day make our last earthly journey,
there Is nothing like an omnibus.

Dclicacy of Feeling.

Delicacy of feeling is trait of
character almost more lovely and en-
gaging than any other. 1t is a quality
whose hidden principle exists in a
greater or less degree i'm every mind,
though it is often thrown into the shade
by the working of the fiercer passions,
in the rude encounters of life. Mans
mind, as manifested in his daily con-
verse with the outward world, seems TO
be made of ''sterner stuff and east in
rougher moulds, but delicacy is no
mark of weakness. for it is essentially
consistent with the stoutest courage
and the 'sublimest energy. 1t is in
every respect a manly quality, and
throws over the whole intellectual and
moral character kindlier hue If true
delicacy exist i'm heart. it will gush
spontaneously from it, and never can
the cold cant of hypocritical formality
be mistaken for the warm welcome of
the soul. Power, mental or physical,
never appears so great as in the hands
of those who seem unconscious of its
possession. True intellectual greatness
gathers an additional charm when ac-
compnied by real delicacy of feeling.
Kindness may enter where the sword
cannot penetrate, and ''soft answer"
and winning department, springing
from delicate feelings and a generous
heart, have always proved irresistible.
Breathing nothing but harmony and
love, "a ministering angel to man
kind, it goes to and fro in the earth,
uniting everywhere more firmly and
strongly the bonds of social union.
