A Washington dispatch to the At
lanta, Ca, Constitution, tells the
following singular story: President
Hayes was arrested by one of the capt.
toll police Saturday. There are certain
seats in the rotunda set apart for Ia
dies. Mr.. Hayes stepped in the rOtun-
da and for few moments sat down on
one of these seats. The policeman,
not knowing Mr.. Hayes, ordered him
up, and the President not responding
very readily, the policeman arrested
him and started for the guard-room,
when an employee recognized the Off
GERS mistake and informed him whom
he had arrested. The officer made
profuse apologies, but the President
said : 'That is all right; suppose you
were carrying out ORDERS"
Postmaster James of New York, hav-
ing received complimentary New
Years cards from the postmaster gen.
erals of England, Canada, Turkey,
Australia, France, and other countries,
has responded by sending an illumin-
ated card, representing the progress of
the mail service in this country from
the days of carrier pigeons and pony
express to the present lightning trains
and hourly city deliveries, to every
postmaster in the civilized world.

AN infamous proposition yesterday
reached tho ears of Mayor Patton,
concerning which he Immediately adj
dressed letter to the Speaker Of the
House of Representatives. 1t appears
that, on behalf of q ring of legislators
possessed of itching palms, PROPOSE
ton was made to Administrator Behan
to the effect that, for purse of $3,5OO,
we'll and truly paid by the existing
city officials, the new city charter
would be 90 framed that they would
be permitted to retain their seats till
the end of their term, all provisions Of
the new Constitution to the contrary
Notwithstanding; aud that for $1,000
they would be continued in Office till
1884. The Administrator, as in duty
bound, lost no time in giving iDforma-
ton Of the matter to the Mayor, and
the Mayor, acting under that high
sense of honor FOR which he is distin-
guished, at once communicated the
facts to Speaker Ogden. We trust
that this dirty piece of business will
be fully exposed so that the finger of
indignation may be pointed directly
at the guilty parties.-[New Orleans

GENTLE Spring, with its balmy,
delightful weather, twittering birds,
and beautiful flowers, is upon Us in
earnest. Indeed. since the beginning
Of February. we have experienced no
interruption Of such weather az we
usually have in May. The Winter
throughout the United States has been
exceptionally mild, and 30 far North
as New York city, as the New York
Sun informs us, there have been only
two days of sleighing, and no days of
skating. Our planters are pushing
work on the plantations; corn plant
ing lie about through, and cotton will
be planted rs soon as the Ides of
March are passed. Farm work is
much more advanced, for the season,
than 1t has been for several years,
and, in all respects, the outlook for the
farmer is most flattering.

TkUTH.-Did you ever see a woman
throw stonef This perspicuous mem
Der of the human family is up in the
garnet sorting over paper rags. She
receives, by intuition, information
that hen has somehow got into her
verbena bed. With characteristic agil-
ity she descends to the garden, and
gracefully picks up stone, dropping
of her glasses and losing q spool of
thread, q pair of scissors and q tape
line out OF her pocket in the opera
ton. She peeps around the corner of
the house and spies the fowl. Cau-
,iously she advances until near enough
then she elevates herself, throws hack
her neck, poises most gracefully her
lett hand, and let's fly, and--strikes
her next door neighbor, who happens
to be in the garden wedding, plump on
the nose. And the hen, oh! where is
shef Reader, this is no fancy picture.
You never knew woman to hit any
thing with stone she ever aimed at,
even were it the broadside of barn;
put give them email child across
their Knee, and 1--WE know By expert
ence) they never miss the mark. And
yet We love them.

EXCITED his CURIOSITY.
HIS STIRRING LITTLE Ex-
PERIENCE.

"Deadwood," said the stranger, put
ting down his half-eaten slice Of lemon
ME and taking long pull at the milk.
Il went there when the first rush was
made for the hills. Rather a rough
'rowd, you bet; mare wholesome now.
When I got there was dead broke

volver, which a man'l often need out
there worse'n a meals vittles. was
prob'ly the only man in the hills who
didn't carry firearm, an / was some
lonesome, tell you. The only weap-
on I had-I'm a blacksmith-was a
rasp, heavy file, you know, bout
eighteen inches long, which / carried
down my back, the handle in easy
reach just below my coat collar. I'm
derstandf Like the Arkansaw man
carries his bowie knife. I'm not ex-
actly temperance man. / just don't
drink an don't NEEDLE with any other
mans drinkin'-tbat's all. One day
I hadn't been in Deadwood more'n a
week-I was sittin' in a s'loon-only
place a man kin set to see any society
when feller come in, regular hus-
tier, with his can full and quart over.
Had revolver on each side of his belt
an looked vicious. Nothin' mean
about him, though. Askt me to drink.
Not any, thank you,' SEE I. Not
drink with mol Me! Bill Feather
gill! When ask a tenderfoot to
drink expect him to prance right up
am no moakeyin'. You hear me !
Well, when his hand went down for
his revolver, / whipped out my old file
quicken fire 'ud scorch feather an
swiped him one right acrost tho face.
When he fell I thought I'd killed him,
an the s'loon fillliu' up with bummera
I sorter skinned out, not KNOWN what
might happen. Purity soon a chap in
red shirt came up to me. SEE he,
'Y0u the man as ke-arved Bill Feath-
ergills Cos, of 60 be as you are, Of
you don't want ev'ry man in the hills
to climb you, don't you try to hide
yonrself-the boys il askin' fur you
neow.'
Il struck me that my friend had the
idee, 80 l waltzed back and went up
an down before that s'loon for nigh
three hours. I'd found out Bill WASN'T
dead an was bad medicine, but il
wouldn't do to let down. Purity soon
see my man a.beadiu' for me. His
face had been patched up till it looked
like the closing out display of retail
dry goods store. There was go little
countenance that couldn't guess what
he was amin at, so 1 brought my
hand back of my collar an grabbed
my file.
Hold on there, hold on there see
he, gimme y'r hand, I'm friendly, I've
got nothin' agin yon, not thing, but

In offering his Golden Medical Discov-
cry aud Pleasant Purgative Pellets for
tue chre OF the above affections, DIR.
Pierce does not recommend them as q
"sule cure" 10 all stages. For if the
lungs he half wasted away, or there
be u cancerons complication, no physi.
clan or medicine can cure. The Dis.
covery is, however, an uuequaled pee.
toral and blood purifier. 1t speedily
cures the most aggravated cough, or
cold, and in it's early or middle stages,
consumption. BY correcting all irreg-
Glarities of the stomach and liver, it
readily cures blo.ches, pimples, scrof-
ulous ulcers, ''hunchss," or tumors.
Hundreds testify that it has restored
their health, after eminent physicians
had failed. For constipation, use the
Pellets. As o local remedy for ca
tarrh, use DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

The Anti Grant Republicans of
Albany have printed an address giving
their reasons for not favoring Grants
nomination. 10 it they say:
"The Republican party was strong
when he was elected. Dissatisfaction
was rampant before che close of his
first term, promises Of amendment
were made, bat never kept, and at the
close of the second term 1t was for q
while doubtful who was President,
and the Republicans were a minority
in Congress. And if Grant should be
again elected We prophesy a like re-
snlt, and a worse one for the Republi.
can party. So much for General
Grants historical availability"

The article from the Shreveport
Times upon Education and lmmi-
grafton" which we publish else
where, presents in an admirable man
ner to our Legislators, one of the
most vital and important questions
with which they must deal during
the present session OF the Legisla-
ture. II cannot he denied that in
proportion as the State shall provide
for an efficient system of Free
Schools, will depend, in very great
measure, the material and welfare OF
our people, and her advancement to
that front position which she should
occupy. 1t dcvolves upon the Leg
islature 10 make the most liberal
provision that is possible under the
Constitution. The poll tax If placed
at the maximum fxed by the Con
stitution, and it's collection rightly
enforced would, in addition TO the
State and Parish levics which are
authorized, give very considerable
fund with which to operate. Coed
legislation upon other matters, will
not atone for bad legislation upon q
question in which the interests OF
the masses are at stake, and by
which they will be so materially
affected.
It's important not only as meas
ure tending to promote the highest
interests Of the commonwealth, but
as a party measure it becomes
imperative.

wH1RLw1ND AT OAKLAND.
Men, Lumber, skylights and Signs Hurled
into the Air.

The city of Oakland was visited at an
early hour Thursday morning by whirl-
wind The center of this small hurricane
appeared to be in the neighborhood of
Castro and Second streets. 1t seemed to
originate at the corner of Third and Mar
ket streets, and swept along Third street
in an easterly direction. At the corner of
Third and Clay streets it veered north, and
by the time it reached the lumber yard on
the southeast corner of Fifth and Clay
streets it had increased to violence. Boards
and signs were hurled through the air, and
stray bits of lumber were carried upon the
housetops A board was carried directly
across the street from the lumber yard,
and it struck the dwelling house of man
named Edwards, A hole fully two
feet square was made in the front of
the house. The board when found was
fully four feet in the front room. A plank
about eighteen inches in width and some
fifteen feet long landed in an apple tree on
Myers lot, corner of Seventh and Wash
ington streets. A pile of lumber on the
city front was knocked over and scat
tered over considerable space. At or near
the corner of Seventh and Broadway, a
man walking leisurely along was lifted
bodily from his feet into the air about six
feet. He was then thrown violently to the
ground The tremendous force of the
wind then caught him in such a manner as
to slide him along the sidewalk for several
feet A small house, No. 522 Fourth street,
was thrown from its ground supports, and
the surrounding fence overthrow. The
dwelling was occupied at the time by Peter
Cantratras and his four children. None of
the family were injured. A grocery wagon,
corner OF Broadway and Sixth street, was
thrown against an awning post, overturn-
ing the wagon and breaking the post.
Several persons were knocked down by
the force of the wind, although no serious
personal damage is reported.
