ROSS RECOGNIZED
Beyond n Doubt as the Man who
Assaulted GenOchiO.

The evidence against Alfred Ross
for sssaulting old man Genochio was
so convincing when he was called this
morning that the attorney for the
defense did not produce any testimony
whatever, and the prisoner was bound
over. Old man Genochio appeared in
court With his head bandaged and was
positive as to the identity Of the
prisoner with the man who struck
him. He was supported by
four others, who we're equally certain
that Ross was the guilty man. His
attorney .resorted to a neat little
dodge, which, however, failed to do
his case any good. Ross was rugged
up in an entirely different suit from
that worn when the crime was COM
mitted. He is a splendidly formed
darky, ola rather striking appearance,
and looks like a dare devil criminal.
The police are inclined to believe this
is not his first crime Of like nature
His picture will be taken for the
adornmeDt Of the rOgues' gallery.

Those siberian Wolf stories.
Cor. New York Herald,


Now, as the Siberian wolves, or,
rather, | should say, those ofSouthern
Siberia and 0renburg, l am compelled
reluctantly to admit that they are not
in the habit Of attacking travellers on
the road. Arrant towards, they may
bark at and follow solitary wanderers,
but as a rule they con6ne their attacks
to the farm yards of the villages, or
watch their opportunity through the
day to get a young and juicy horse
that has strayed away from the drove,
or a sheep that has strayed from the
flock and the care of their nomadio
shepherds. During all our long
journeys we have seen only thirteen
wolves, besides the imaginary
ones in the Urals. One evening, three
days after The above adventure, about
seven, while we we're Watching the
moonlit snowscape, my companion
shouted, Here they are!" | looked
out and there saw seven of the brutes,
as big again as good sized foxes, pass-
ing leisurely across the road immedi-
ately in front Of our sledgc. After
we had passed they stopped and looked
back after us in the most leisurely
manner. We ordered our yemschik
to stop the team, and getting out Of
the sledge, had time to take cut
weapons, load them and fire before
they ever attempted to nova from the
spot; and then they went away quite
l~eisurely, as il they were not quite sure
what was best to be done--whether TO
remain in the line OF FIRE, whore they
were comparatively safe, or by run
ming away to put themselves in the
way Of an accidental death. Another
time two wolves crossed the road and
waited for US to have a shot at them
before they thought Of Looping of TO
safer (?) quarters. To show you how
little danger there is from the attack
Of the Siberian wolf, l may add that
drivers scarcely notice their presence,
and that when the peasants Of the
districts through which they have
passed want to chastise the bFutes for
robbing their farm yards and devour-
log a fat lamb or SO, they mount their
feet little horses and, armed with
0 heavy club, they start out to hunt

a nnngerous COuch.

Martin McCown invited a farmer,
named George Melton, to go home
with him, yesterday evening, aud took
him out a short distance from the L
K N. railroad, where he stopped, and
r%emarking that this was where he
stopped, laid down between the rails
and was loon snoring soundly. Melton
had no alternative, and he spread
himself out by the side Of his com
paniOn and was soon sound asleep. In
this way they were found by Officer
Butler, who passed along the track
shortly before the late passenger train
went out. They we're blissfully un
conscious Of their danger. Melton's
right leg was thrown across one Of the
rails, while his right arm was clasped
about McCown's body. McCown laid
on his back, with his knees akimbo
and his arms folded peacefully across
his breast. They were playing the
Knocking Bird" with variations,
through their illuminated noses, and
a cloud of whisky laden atmosphere
developed them. Melton had So 40 in
his pocket, which he said would have
paid his funeral expenses. The Judge
remarked that if the train had hap.
pened along before the policeman
found him, the undertaken would
never have picked up enough of him
to hold a funeral over. Both we're
diseharSed.

A negro shanty on Seventh street,

was destroyed by fire at three O'Clock
this morning. 1t was occupied by a
family named Causton, who lost all
their effects, and except for the fact
that the dwelling was very small
would have had difficulty in escaping
with their lives, so rapid were the
flames. The FIRE originated from o
quanty of rags which the darkies had
lit to smoke out the mosquitoes. The
shanty belonged to Colonel A. j,

WHAT ABsENTEEIsM COSTS.

/. In school, the absence of a pupil
entails absolute loss of opportunity
which can never be recovered. The day,
with all the possible advantages it of.
fers at the beginning, can neither be
recalled nor repeated, when past.
2. The boy who learns to feel that
he may neglect his duties, as a scholar,
for trivial causes, for causes equally
trivial will neglect his business when a
man.
3. The absence of a pupil from
school to-day makes the loss of lessons
tomorrow inevitable, because he does
not know what the lessons of to.mor-
row are to be; nor would he find time
to learn them if he did. Hence one
absence involves tWo-fold loss.
4. Many explanations are made by
the teacher, clearing up difficulties to
the pupils in relation to their lessons,
which can never be repeated. A total
loss.
5. The absent scholar becomes in
terested in objects outside of school,
and, losing his familiarity with school
work, the incentive for study is lost.
His efforts become weak; his desire to
excel diminishes, to be absent increases,
and the transition to tTuancy is easy.
6. On his return after an absence,
he interrupts the exercises of the
school, binders the teacher, in finding
what are his lessons for the day.
I. Having lost the lesson recited
yesterday, he does not understand that
portion Of to-day's lesson which de-
ponds on that of yesterday. Such de-
pendence usually exists.
s. The time and patience Of the
teacher are taxed in repeating to him
the instructions Of yesterday, which
for want of previous study he does not

The Country Gentleman has the following
recipe for removing grease spots from paper
Scrape finely some pipe clay on the sheet Of
paper which is to be cleaned Let it COM
pletely cover it, and pass heated iron on it
for q few seconds. Then take a perfectly
clean piece of India rubber and rub off the
pipe clay. In some cases one application
will be found sufficient, but if it is not you
may repeat it. Another method is to take
Roche-alum burnt, and -four of birthstone.
an equal quantity Of each, and reducing
them to fine powder, wet the paper little,
put small quantity over the creased place,
and the grease will disappear. Still another
way is to get the paper so stained a little
warmed, by covering it with sheet of blot
ting paper, and passing an iron over it sew
eral times, SO that it may remove as much of
the grease as possible. When the paper is
thoroughly warmed. dip small brush in the
essential oil Of well rectifed spirits Of tur-
pentine, heated almost to boiling point, and
pass 1t gently over both sides Of the paper,
which must be kept moderately warm. Let
this process be repeated as many times as the
quantity Of grease in the paper or the thick
ness of the paper may render necessary.
When the greasy substance has been removed,
to restore the paper to its former whiteness
dip another brush in highly rectiGed spirits
of wine, and draw it over the place, and
particularly around the edges, to remove the
border that would present stain.

ceives $1,000 salary. The pay of the
state senators, including mileage, was
$12,433; the pay of employees of The
senate amounted to $11,751, only $082
difference! The pay of the assembly
men, including mileage, was 1877, 961,
and of the employees $14,783.
The militia companies cost the state
Sis, 646 during 1881. The Presidential
Electors are paid by the state; the
amount was only 1886. $17,s9s was
paid to newspapers for publishing the
session laws. There was $7,O71 paid
for bounty on wild animals killed.

9. The time thus employed in an at
tempt to explain is unjustly taken
from the other pupils who are punctual

10. The progress of the class is
checked and their ambition curbed
while waiting for the absentee to make
up his loss. Their progress is like a
heavy handicapped race boat.
II. The time of the teacher is vast
ed in making a record of the absence,
in securing the delinquent's excuse and

In an article on the River Falls wis. J
public school, the Journal of that place thus
speaks of our former townsman, Prof. H osea
Barns: "In the selection of Principal the
Board has been particularly fortunate in
securing the services Of Prof. Hosea Barns,
who seems to be admirably fitted for the
work of an educator. In this connection
we will also say that what is true of the
Principal is also true of the efficient corps
of assistants by whom he is aided. Under
the friendly guidance of Prof. Barns we
found time to spend few minutes in
each of the different rooms and were much
gratifed to note the excellent discipline
which seemed to prevail throughout the
entire school, as well as the manifest interest
of both teachers and pupils in the work
before them. The Principal possesses the
happy faculty of restraining his pupils and
securing their hearty cooperation by ap-
pealing to their better nature and their
calm conviction of what is best for their
own interests, in consequence of which his
room is a model for mental culture, deport-
ment and discipline. The attendance of
students from distance, who are required
to pay tuition, is evidence Of the high ap-
probation in which the school is elsewhere
held"

Sorrow for the dead is the only
sorrow from which we refuse to be di-

There is something peculiarly consol-

cises for their dead. 1t is at once a
JOY and sorrow, and we love to pay
all honor and reverence to their works
The exercises that have lately been
held in Washington for our murdered
President were peculiarly appropriate,
and they have been felt and participate
ed in in the most distant homes in the
land. How fresh must it ever be in
the minds of all citizens of this coun-
try who passed through that sad period
that embraces the fatal shot, the long
and patient suffering, and final death!
How hallowed the memories that
cluster around Garfield's name! The
House was filled to its utmost capacity.
The House of Representatives sat in
memorial session; the Senate filed in
to pay its tribute of respect; the diplo-
matte corps was present in distin-
guished array; the President and his
Cabinet occupied prominent position;
leading representatives of the army

their official robes, were assigned due
place; and the galleries were packed

After an appropriate opening, the ora

If the excellence of newspaper is not al
ways measured By its proftableness, il is
generally true that if it does not pay its owner
it is valueless to the public. Not all news
papers which make money are good, for some
succeed by catering to the lowest tastes of
respectable people, and to the prejudice, ig-
norance and passions of the lowest classes !:
but as a rule the successful journal, pecuni-
arily, is the best Journal The reasons for
this are on the surface. The impecunious
newspaper cannot give its readers promptly
the news, and, slill worse, it cannot be indie
pendent. The political journal that relies for
support on drippings Of party favor or patton
age is POOR affair, and. in the long run or
short run, comes to grief The newspaper
only becomes real power when it is able on
the basis of pecuniary independence to free
itself from all such entanglememts. An
editor who stands with hat in hand has the
respect accorded any other beggar.
