PROF. HUXLEY says that "No sya-
tenn of public education is worthy OF
the name unless it creates great edu'
cational ladder, with one end in the
gutter and the other in the Universi-
ty." 1t is quite time to consider, 50
far as this canntry is concerned,
whether the ''ladder' should not lead
to few landings whsrc boys and
girls may learn something that the
world will give them = living for
knowing. That system Of education
is lamentably deficient which takes
account only of the pupils head
leaving his body uncared for, his
hands unframed. There may not be

The Eate Tragedy.


BAccIGALUPo AT THE POLICE COURT-THE
CASE POSTPONED TO THURSDAY INSANITY
THE ALLEGED CAUSE OF THE ASSAULT
BACCIGALUP0's MONEY, &c.
Angelo Baccieaupo, charged with felo-
nious assault upon bis wife on Saturday
night, was removed to the First police sta.
ton on Sunday morning. and yesterday
morning appeared at the Police Court, rep.
resented by his counsel, Colonel John 3.
Young and Dir. John S. Wise.
There were number OF witnesses pres
ent, but DR.. W. w. Parker, the attending
physician, was the only one examined. His
testimony was mainly in reference to the
condition of Mrs. Baccigalupo. The Doc
tor stated that it would be day or two be-
fore he could decide what will be the result
of the wounds. She was feverish, and her
condition somewhat critical, but the wounds
would not necessarily prove fatal.
The case was then continued until Thurs
day at 81 O'Clock.
1t is stated that Baccigalupo recently an
nounced to his wife and friends that be in
tended to GO west ito lliinois) on a four
months trip. This was known to numer-
Gus friends as well as Mrs. Bacciealupo, and
when he started on Saturday morning last
by the Fredericksburg railroad at O'Clock
it was settled that he would be absent for n
considerable period. This, it is alleged,
was only pretence, however, for when the
train reached Milford Baccigalupo got off,
and returned to this city by freight during
the afternoon. Later he went to the store
on Eighth street, from which point his wife
followed him around the corner to the
dark recess on the canal bank where the
murderouS attack was made, and where he
was ioiled in his design. He attempted to
drown her. she says, but owing to her
strength failed to do so, and then, as last
resort, stabbed her, Is heretofore stated, and
was arrested in cndeavoTing to escape.
From this the officers obtain their theory
that his object was TO murder the woman by
drowning, then leave the city, and when lie
heard Of the drowning. later, to rctura and
resume his Business. His scheme. il he ever
had it, was defeated by combination OF
circumstances. and he is now in Jail await.
| ing trial for his crime.
On the other band, it is claimed that he is
insane, and his friends confidently believe
| that such Will be proved on the trial. H.
deed. il is stated that Il well-known physi
cian is prepared to prove that his mind has
| been unbalanced for some time.
On Saturday night, when Baccigalupc
was taken to the Second staton-houSc. the
sergeant in charge, following the Gus
tomary usage, took from him his money
and other property found on his per
son. The money was counted in th'
presence OF the prisoner and one or TIVE
other persons. The amount as thu
ascertGincd was So 552. The money wa
then enclosed in an envelope; these figure
were marked on the outside, ,.sand the en-
vclope locked up II Il desk. Some hour
