ruler. while Parnell has nominated two other
Candidates - ohstructioaists,. one of whom is
very unpopular. Chevalier O'Cleary'a party,
some IL. 600 strong. took possession of the plat
form. When Parnell arrived, accompanied by
members of the Enniscorty club, they attempted
to get on the platform, and was received with
shouts of mo dictation.'' His friends were
attacked and beaten and thrown down, several
with bleeding heads. A body of armed police
were drawn up near the platform. Had the
Parnell party been numerous the host of cas-
nalties W. uld have been large.

House appropriation for marshals and depu-
ties will not be changed but the committee
decided that an amendment should be made
in the phraseology of the clause relative to
the future method of appointing deputy
marshalls ofelection. The House provision
on this subject requires their appointment by
the United States circuit or district judges
but the constitution provides that all officers
should be appointed by the President by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate
with reservation that Congress may by law
vest the appointment OF such inferior officers
as it thinks proper. The committee will pro-
pose the appointment OF Deputy marshals in
the courts instead of comforting them upon
individual judges.

INTERESTING FAcTs.-The tomb of
Edward l.. who died in 1901, was
opened Jan. 2, ITO, after 463 wears
had elapsed. His body was almost per
feet. Canute (the Dance, who crossed
over to Eng land in 1017, was found
1779, by workmen who repaired Win
chester Cathedral, where his body had
reposed nearly 750 years, perfectly fresh.
In 1869, three Roman soldiers, fully
equipped with warl;ke implement, were
dug out of bed of peat in Ireland.
where they had probabl y lain ], 500 years.
Their bodies were perfectly fresh and
plump. In the reign of James II. of
England, after the fall of the Church of
Ashley, in Warwickshire, there was taken
up the corpse of Thomas Gray, Mar
quis of Dorset, who was buried the 10th
of October, 1880, in the twenty-second
year of Henry VII; and although it
had lain there seventy-eight years, the
eyes, hair, flesh, nails, and joints
remained as though it had been newly
buried. Robert Braybrook, who was
consecrated Bishop of London in 1881.
and who died in 14O4, and was buried
in st. Pauls, was taken out of his tomb,
after the great fire in 1866, during the
repairs of the cathedral, and, although
he had lain there no less than 262 years.
his body was found firm as to skin, hair,
joints and nails. The Convent de st.
Domingo was demolished in search
of treasure supposed to be concealed
there, and the body of Prince Rodri-
guez taken out, who had been buried
alive in 1865, exactly as when placed
$50 years before. His daughter, z years
and 6 months old, was lying at her
fathers feet, and as perfectly preserved
as himself. The position Of his hands
showed that he was suspended by the

response to the toast-"Gcneral Grant, our

Gentlemen OF Galveston-I am very much

ception which have received at your hands
and at the hands OF the citizens of this CITY:
and assure you it affords me great pleasure
to be here on this occasion, and to see so many
OF you. 1t was my fortune more than third
OF a century ago, to visit Texas as second
lieutenant, and to have been one of those who
went into the conflict which was to settle the
boundary of Texas. am glad to come back
now on this occasion to behold the territory
which is an empire in itself, and larger than
some of the empires of Europe. I wish for the
people of Texas, as do for the people of the
entire South, that they may go on. developing
their resources and become great and power
full, and in prosperity forget, as the worthy
mayor expressed it, that there is boundary
between the North and Ssuth. prolonged

and better citizen than he was when he went

love with his own country. Far be it from
me to find fault with any of the European
governmental. I was well received at their
hands on every side by every nation in Eu-
rope, but with their dense population, and
their worn out soil, it takes great deal of
labor to enable the people to get from the soil

soil, with room enough for us all to expand
and live with the use OF but very little govern

get along happily and contentedly without

The Ute delegation have left Washing

OF obtaining the consent Of their people to the
agreement made with the government Two
of the prisoners brought some time ago from
the reservation have been implicated in the
massacre. One was identified by Miss Meeker
as one of their best friends, and the other is a
boy OF 1S. who, as is now ascertained, arrived
at the agency after the event. This list of
presumably guilty PERSONS as made up by the
commission at Los Pinos, in October last, was
based mainly on statements made by Mrs.
Meekcr, Miss Mceker, and Mrs. Price, who

now in possession Of list of names of the
guilty parties, which is thought to be CON-

expected that the guilty parties, with the aid
Of some Of the chiefs now returning, will soon
be brought in.

Day OF Teacherh' Institute At
Lake City.
LAKE CITY, March 29.-The State teachers
institute opened in the old school building in
this city, at clock P. NJ, to-day, under the
management of County Superintendent A. j.
Greer, with an attendance of about one hun
dred and twenty-five teachers and students
from this and neighboring towns. The insti-
tute was opened by Prof. Greer. who stated in
brief the objects to be derived from the meet
ing, which is to more fully systematize the
methods of teaching and an interchange of
ideas relative to the most prudent course of pro-
noting education. After the arranging of the
various classes, the afternoon exercises were
concluded by an essay on history by Miss E. A.
White, of Winona. Owing to the almost i'm
passable condition of the roads, there are but
few present from the country, but should the
good weather continue, a large attendance ia
looked for. The institute will continue for
two weeks
