ing to a respectable family, and was formerly In
driving In his carriage from the Hooghly bridge
the man fired twice at his eXcellency. The shots
were apparently unnOticed by all but Col Col
ley, the private secretary to Lord LyttOn, who
was in the next carriage TO the viceroy. Hear
ing the sound OF the shots, Col. COlley looked
around and saw the would-be assassin take de-
hberate aim and fire at him. He and Capt.

the man who had in his hand a revolver. On
their selling him he offered no resistance. 1t is

A DESTROYED WuL.-In the Circuit Court (No.
~, Judge Wylie, on Saturday, a motion to set
aside Judgment by default for $3.50 in the case
OF John and Minnie Keppler agt. F. W. Letmade
was argued The suit grows out OF the fight for
the estate left by Mrs. Keppler'S mother, Wilhel-
nina Eichler, some $780, 600 OF $4,000. which the
former administered on. Letmade is the stepson
and nephew OF the deceased, and resiStS the suit
at law is invalid. The question involved in this
latter phase is whether this matter is controlled
by the laws OF Holland, where Mrs. Keppler was
itance, or by those Of this District, where the
peculiarly OF her parentage would not initiate
against her. A suit in equity is to be filed by
the other heirs asking that will left by Mrs.
Eichlef, but since destroyed, the provisions Of
which are known to several persons, may be
taken as the basis for the distribution OF the
estate.

Marvellous Escape.
Cincinnati Gazette, May Z.

Yesterday four year old boy. the
son of James Falls, who lives in the
fourth story OF tenement house at
Front and Ludlow, was leaning over
the banister of the back porch and
trying to spit down upon some Chi
dren below. Il was fif' feet from
where he stood to the solid brick
pavement of the back yard. The lit
tie fellow had no sense of danger, and
leaned over the banister as far as he
could. lie even clambered up so as
to take fairer aim at the little ones
below him. In an unguarded mo-
ment he leaned too far over. lost his
balance, and started whirlng down
toward the brick pavement, fifty feet
below. On the porch of the third
story, immediately below him, stood
little girl ten years old, the daugh-
ter of one of the residents of that
floor. She saw the boy coming, and
by an instinct or purpose which
amounted to heroism, put out her arm
to save the boy. She did catch him
at the risk of being dragged over her
self and falling with him. Of course
she could not hold such a weight, bnt
her arm was just strong enough to
turn the course of his fall, so that he
landed at her feet on the floor of the
third porch. His head struck the
banister, and he had an ugly cut on
his forehead and one eye was consid-
erably injured, but his life was saved.
The little girls arm was famed, but
not broken. She said she saw him
coming and just thought she might
save his life If she would put out her
arm, and she did it.

A Blunder ana Its Reward.


During his first visit to Paris M.
Lassalle, distinguished German,
presented himself at the house Of
well known lady. to whom he had
cent letters of introduction in ad~
vance. Whom the servant opened
the door and received bis card she
conducted him to the boudoir and
told him to he seated, saying: "Ma-
dame will come Immediately"
Presently the lady entered. She
was in dishabille and her feet were
bare, covered only with loose Slip
pers. She bowed TO him carelessly
and said Sab, there you are; good
morning"
She threw herself on sofa, lot
fall q slipper and reached out to
Lasslle her very pretty foot.
Lssalle was naturally completely
aetouIded, but be remembered that
al his home in Germany it was the
custom sometimes TO kiss a lady's
hand and he supposed it was the
Paris mode to kiss her foot. There
fore be did not hesitate to imprint
kiss upon the fascinating foot so
near him, but he could not avoid
saying Il thank you, madame, for
this now method Of making lady's
acquaintance. 1t is much better,
aud certainly more generous than
kissing the hand"
The lady jumped up, highly in
disnant "Who are yon, sir, aud
what do you mean ?"
He gave his name.
You are not, then, corn doc
tor ?"
Il am charmed to say, madame,
that | am not"
But you sent me the corn doc
tors card"
1t was true. Lasalle 10 going out
that morning had picked up the
card Of corn-doclor from his bus
reau and put it in his pocket. This
without glanoing at he had given
TO the servant, who had taken it to
his mistress. There was nothing to
dc but laugh over the joke.

An Observatory Beehive.

An observatory hive appears to be
indispensable to bee.keepers who are
interested in watching the internal
operations of hive of bees. To make
such a hive, lift frame containibg
honey anu brood and from pint to a
quart of bees from full sized hive.
II there is no queen with them, all
the better, as the process of rearing
young queens can be seen if there
are any eggs or larve in the combs.
Have a narrow frame made 10 receive
this frame; set a sash containing
glass at each side of the comb, so
that both sides of the comb will be in
full view. The glass should be three.
eighths of an inch from the comb
Unless the bees should be removed
q mile or more to prevent them from
going back to the old hive, it is best
to shut them in two or three days,
giving them air; then let them ont A.
little before shutdown so that they
will not go far from home, but fly
around the hive and mark the place.
Such hive can be Sc. in the parlor,
with tube run under the window
sash, to allow the bees to pass in and
out. Tumblers set over the holes in
the top may be filed with honey by
The bees 1t is best TO cover the hive
with cloth to keep it dark for few
days, until the bees become accus-
toned to the place. In such hive
the keeper can at all times show Wis
itors the queen bee ; see her lay her
eggs witness the process of building
combs, storing honey and pollen,
feeding the young, and many other
things that are interesting to prac-
