d Galveston, SIN the Flipper case,
yesterday, it was endeavored to show
that in the treatment Of Lieutenant Flip
per while in the guard house cell, and
close confinement in the guard house.
Colonel Shafer WISE prompted by spirit
not warranted by the customs of the
army. The court objected to this mode
Of examination, on the ground that it had
nothing TO do with the Cfense, if any had
been committed. and it was not within
It's province to mitigSte the puni5hment.
The objections were withdrawn finally.
Colonel Shafer stated that before reliev-
ing Flipper from the com misssry depart
ment he thought him perfectly honest,
and Of good habits, and if the money had
been stolen it had been by someone else.
He further stated that previous to inves-
tigation Filpper's administration had
given entire satisfaction. On the 10th Of
August Flipper was seen in town with
his horse and saddle bags, possibly pre-
parstory to q journey. He was ordered
back, and Immediately turned over his
funds on hand. Within two or three
minutes after entering the quarters (his
quarters) some $4,000 was found on his
desk ready for delivery. He could not
say whether it was in his saddle bags
when last seen or not. he had learned
since that he generally Kept the public
money in his quarters instead of in the
Office cafe He had always examined the
accounts weekly unless absent.

do not remember to have ever seen any
notice OF Artemuss happy use of pantomime
IN his numerous moods among his friends and
associates. There was an unapproachablc clio
qucnce sometimes in it. He had way OF
making quotation marks in the air with his
left and right foretingers, on accession that was
rresistibly funny. Once he was engaged to
ill an evening in the lecture course of a pop
ular literary institution OF New England
city. During the lecture an individual who
occupied seat on one of the front benches
seemed determined to resist the speakers eff
forts to make him laugh. Artemus soon dis
covered both the listener and his intention and
concentrated all his powers on HIM. For a
long time it seemed as if the man had the hes,
Of 1t, but by-and-by one of Browns queer con
ccits took effect. The obstinate fellow gave
way and laughed and kicked like delighted
schoolboy. Artemus celebrated his victory by
cooly announcing to his audience: Ladies
and gentlemen, this will terminate the first act
and we will drop the curtain for a few mo
ments; while the scenery is being arranged
for the next act the lecturer will take occasion
to go out to see a man." and with perfect SAM
froid he left the platform for the ante-room
where he quietly refreshed himself with
weak tea and a cracker. and gleefully told the
story of his contest.-P0Hldnd Press.

The attempt of Richard Lawrence to assas.
slnate President Jackson was attended by cir.
cumstances and surroundings which bear a
striking analogy to those of the recent more
startling event IN this city. In that case the
wouldbe assassin displayed the greatest cool
ness and resolution. BY careful inquiry he
ascertaincd that the President would be pres.
ent al the Capitol at the funeral of distn-
guished member of the House of Representa-
hves, Warren II. Davis of South Carolina. He
stationed himself at the east portico, where he
waited tor the close of the ceremony IN the
House of Representatives, and for the process
sion to move out through the rOtunda; and as
the President, in company with MIR. Wood
bury, the Secretary of the Treasury, passed
within a few feet of him. Lawrence stepped
forward and snapped pistol at him. The per
Icussion cap, then recent invention, exploded
with loud noise, which arrested the attention
of all present The assassin Immediately
dropped the pistol, and drew another which
he likewise snapped without effect. In !. mo
ment he was knocked down by Lieut. Gedney
of the navy, and was secured. On examination
1t was ascertained that both plstols were 10
good order, and that they had been carefully
loaded with powder and ball. The Globe, the
official organ, regarded the failure of the caps
to explode as evidence of the experimenting
care OF Providence over the great defender of
the liberties of the people. 1t was no fault OF
Lawrence, at any rate, that he tailed to exc.
cute his murderous purpose. He had laid his
plans for encOuntering the President with
skill, and displayed the desperate courage OF
a modern Nihlllst in carrying them into exc
cution. Unlike the wretch Guiteau, who as.
sailed his unsuspecting victim from behind,
Lawrence confronted the eagle eye OF the old
hero, ana according to the statement of the
latter, he did not quail when set upon by the
President and his friends.
According to the National Inte8ltgencer of
that date, Lawrence was a lunatic, who imag.
ined that President Jackson had killed his
father, although the latter a house painter by
trade, died in his bed ten or twelve years prior
to this event. He also believed, or pretended
to believe, that he was the lawful heir to the
crown of England. His whole manner was
frank and fearless, and these hallucnations
may have been only telgned. At any rate,
Gen. Jackson and his organ, the Globe, thought
so, and the General regarded Lawrence as the
agent for executing the bloodthlrsty DEGREES
of his enemies,

Again, il seems unreasonable that the

A TIMELY WARNING, OR THE EXPE-
RIENCE OF A MINISTER.

If you suffer from general debility,
brought on by too close application to bust
ness and excessive brain-work or from in
creasing prostration and sinking spells, that
even rest or removal of the cause will not
relieve, make haste to do as did a reverend
friend of ours. He secured from his drug
gist bottle of Browns Iron Bitters, having
heard of its merit from a physician, who
told him not to take any other Bitters or
Tonic, for with the exception of Browns
Iron Bitters, they all contained alcohol, and
had failed to give his patients lasting relief
nor should ne take any other preparation of
Iron, for with the exception of Browns
Iron Bitters, they all blackened the teeth
and often gave headache, which Browns
Iron Bitters never did, but in fact cured
headache. The effect was most satisfactory ;
he Immediately realized wonderful results
His old energy returned, his natural force
came back, and he felt himself altogether a
new man, full of health strength and vigor,
and he has continued to remain so ever
since. Now he recommends Browns Iron
Bitters to all his friends, which we unhesi-
tatingly do to all our readers Globe
