SENSATIONS CONTRADICTED.
None of the Visiting Statesmen Yet
Indicted.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3l.-A special from
New Orleans 80 the Times says that ru.
mors of the Indictment Of prominent
persons by the Grand Jury here, which
have been industrously circu ated at the
North, have thus far no foundation.
Neither Senator Matthews nor John
sherman has been indicted, nor any Of
the gentlemen who were known last
winter as the visiting statesmen.
Neither the Grand Jury nor District
Attorney has thought OF the matter SO
far, but it RENAME to be seen whether
developments in the Returning Board
trials may not lead to the indictment o.
several of these visiting statesmen. Ii
is difficult to prophecy as to develop
ments in Andersom's trial, but when j
Madison Wells is captared and brought
to trial it is quite possible that several
startling indictments will be had.

THE WHISKY TAX.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 81. - Yesterday
WAS day OF triumph for the Republi-
cans in the House OF Representatives,

the Democrats. Ever since the bill to

Republican leaders have been working
for its defeat. MIR. Foster, OF OIio, Of

ration by the House which would pre-
vent any reduction of tax, and thus
help to defeat any readjustment OF the
burdens Of taxation. The Eastern
members were especially anxious to
prevent the imposition Of an income
tax, which they thought would go along
with the reduction of the taxes on whis-
Ky and tobacco. The war made on
Western interest and the distillers by
Hale and his crowd was bitter, rancor'
GUS and mendacious to an extraordinary
degree.
The effect OF the vote is to render any
reduction OF the whisky tax very i'm
probable, and also TO diminish very

Fremont and Jessie.

General and Mrs Fremont, who
have been spending number of weeks
in the city, are off and away for their
home in the western wllds of Arizona,
the General to fill the gubernatorial
chair of that territory, where the rains
fall seldom and the Indians abound.
Mrs. Fremont is one of the most inter
esting women [ ever met, Astounding
in anecdote, with sparkling narrative
power and charming ease of manner.
She has a fine figure, portly. without
an undesirable degree of embonpoint
She dresses elegantly, but in perfect
simplicity. Her head is masculine in
its contour. with its broad, fine fore
head, from which sweeps her abund-
ance of snowy hair over a Martha
Washington roll Her hand is won
derfully pretty for woman of her
years, looking az white and dimpled
and pinktipped as a maiden's. She
has an adopted daughter. who is highly
accomplished, presiding like master
at the piano, and being mistress of
several foreign tongues. The report
geing the rounds of the press relative
to the extreme depths of poverty into
which the family were plunged is in
correct. They have been greatly re-
duced i'll their circumstances, but not
to the extent which necessitated their
selling all their pictures and household
articles in order to buy bread for their
hungry mouths. Detroit Post.

GEOGRAPHY.

Geography in it's widest sense is of
utmost Importance to education. The
spirit of the age is no longer content
to spend all the years of school life
among the dead languages, but de-
mands a wider culture and a mere
practical end. The sciences are of
the greatest consequence in every day
life, as we'll as in their influence on
the world and the prosperity of coun-
try. Geography. in this period of the
worlds history, when countries come
daily into more intimate connection
with each other, and when the inter
ests of all are intricately woven to-
gether as to be inseparable, becomes a
study of singular interest and import
ance, and teachers are inexcusable
who turn out scholars without a
thorough knowledge of this subject.
There is also disposition to decry an
accurate study of location of places,
and in its stead substitute the phil
osophy of geograhy even in the prim-
airy course. This is wrong, for it is
just as essential that we'll educated
man should know the exact location of
the principal places on the globe, as
that he should be able to correctly pro-
nounce the principal words of his own
language Unless one knows the To-
cality of places how can he intelligent
ly study history, or even read news
paper. The old fashioned study of
locality in geography. which formerly
occupied so much of the time of the
lesson, can now be entirely ignored.
1t probably did occupy too much time
then. but it is quite certain in many
schools too little attention is paid to
it now. Some thing must be learned
by putting forth vigorous effort of
the will, and among these are dates in
history, the tables in arithmetic, and
the location of places in geography

Mr.. Gerard had been robbed of a val

Gerard are these:- Mr.. G. arrived at
Menasha Junction at 4 o'clock and
walking out upon the platform of the
depot, and toward clump of bushes,
he was accosted by gentlemanly
looking man who stated that he was a
travelling agent for a hardware house,

west. Soon second party appeared
and casual conversation was entered
into, the second party claiming to be
waiting for the departure of the
train for Green Bay whittier he was
going with stock The three walked
about as men naturally would awaiting
the movements of trains, until sudden.

Mr., G. and apparently in an instant,

watch and chain and handed it to the
larger sized man who showed it into
his coat pocket, he IN the meantime

G. had recovered from his astonish-
ment. the parties ran off into the

mediately gave the alarm. and two
officers, with the Sheriff went in pur-
suit of the Williams. They were track.
