L.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2S Returns
from the Third congressional district

informality in the return. The former
gave Kellogg, 1,lS0 majority, the latte,

to issue certificate to kellogg on the

to submit brief and evidence. Kel-
logg has prepared a statement showing
that he came TO the state in 1865;
that he was the 9th man registered un-
der military reconstruction in 1876 in
the parish of Orleans. He has since
constantly registered and voted in the
state, bought and sold property, sued
and been sued in state courts as a citi-
zen of the state, and has been during

LOVES devotion was we'll illustrated
by Dick Ruth and Anna Roberts OF
Mason City, Ill. Anna had been
whipped by her teacher, and because
her parents did not reta'iate in kind on
the teacher she appealed to Ruth, who
was too gallant to punish the lady
teacher, but rose to the emergency OF
soothing Anna with his sympathetic
affection. AS they were but fifteen
years of age they found it necessary
to seek conjugsl bii,s beyond the juris-
diction of both parents and teacher;
so they set out on q matrimonial mis-
sion to MINER, thirty-tivo miles distant.
Being without funds they walked the
entire distance, RIth masquerading in
the meantime in one of Anna's dresses.
Arriving at their destination Ruth
sought a place for Anna to board and
set out in search of work, that he
might support her, Here the mex
orable decree OF parental authority
and restraint reacned out and return
ed them to their respective homes,
where they have gone into winter
quarters in the very sprirgt,me OF
loves young dream of devotion. The
bowling winds o! winter which sweep
the broad praifies of Illinois will prob
ably cool their ardor and freeze the
hopes in their young hearts like dash
of cold water on hysteria patient.

The Transit OF Venus.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-Prof. Hark
ness, of the U. S. Transit OF Venus Com
mission, requests the publication Of the
following: There are many persons
scattered over the country who have
good telescopes and would be glad to
see the conta cts during the coming
transit of Venus, If they had any means
of obtaining Washington time. The
Washington Union Telegraph Co. has
most generously agreed to give wide
distribution to noon time signals from
the naval observatory, Dec. 4th, 9th and
9th. As this service will be wholly
gratuitous on the part Of the telegraph
companies, its officers request all per-
sons who intend to make accurate OBJ
servations of the transit to Immediately
notify the result to the Western Union
telegraph offices, as transmission sig
mails will involve the use of many thons-
ands of miles of wire, and the making
up OF many special circuits all Of which
must be planned beforehand. Furnish
ing these signals free Of cost to al OBJ
servers is a contribution To science on
the part of the Western Union Co.,
which will be appreciated by everyone
interested in astronomy.

Mayor Clevelsnd's last official act be
fore resiguing his Office was TO veto the
order of the common council to pay
$1,000 for lawyers fees to + 9. Hswss.
This man Hawks was the city
attorney during the administration
of Mayor Cleveland's predecessor.
Charges were preferred against
him and he was tried before
Mayor Brush. Hawks employed
three lawyers for the defense, one Of
whom WAS Cleveland himself. The
charges were sustained; but Hawks was
released with reprimanG. He then
demanded that the G ty should pay his
lawyers for defending him. Mayor
Cleveland met the issue sauarely.
though his own client WAS most Interest
ed in it, by declaring that he would not
aid in establishing precedent that the
city shall pay the expense of the dc
Tense of an official accused OF neglect
of duty, in case it fails to fully sui
stanuate the charges made. This is q
sound decision, and it shows the fibrs
of the man. And should ne carry into
the office of governor the same prir ci.
Piles of administration which have regu-
lated his conduct as mayor, he will
earn distinction as a genuine reformer
of the first order.

A REMARKABLE SCENE IN COURT.
A scene occurred at the criminal
court this morning which is probably
without precedent. Yesterday the
suretiee of Bigelow, bank embezzler,
were directed to have him in court tc-
day under penalty of forfeiture OF
bonds. This morning a carriage
drove up to the court house
and three persons aighted, two
of whom reached into the carriage,
lifting Bigelow out and carried him In
arms to the court room, where he was
placed on a lounge and covered with
blankets He was accompanied by
male members of his family, his attor-
ney and physician. He was quite pale
and woak and appeared to be entirely
prostrated. He lay on the lounge with

Of occurrences about him. There
are thirteen indictments against Big
Glow and it being settled that the ofense
is misdemeanoI and not felony the
court deemed it would be sufficient TO
inform the defendant of the nature of
the charges without compelling him TO
listen to q reading of the case, the de-
fendant not being able to stand or sit
upright The clerk of the court went
to where he lay, made known TO him
the charge on each indictment, and re-
ceived lis plea of not guilty. BigeloW

arrested by detective with warrant
on an additional charge Of embezzlc-

taken to the court room wnere he

await the action of the grand jury.

Ir ia again predicted that Mr.. Glad
stone will retire from public life, but
the chances are that he will remain in
office until the work he has laid out for
his administration il finished. His
notification that he would give up the
duties of Chancellor OF the Exchequer
was treated by some of the papers as
though it were preliminary step tc-
ward retiring from the Premiership.
But in the BeaconsGeld Cabinet the
Prime Minister held only the office of
First Lord of the Treasury, while Mar
thcoto vas Chancellor of the Excheq-
uer. When Gladstone became Prime
Minister in 1868 he gaveup the duties
orChaueellor and became First Lord
of tho Treasury. When he became
Prime Minister in 1880 he undertook
the datlest of both offices, and he now
simply returns to the line of precedent

GOV. CLEVELAND IN ALBANY.
Visiting Gov. Cornell and Greeted By
Residents OF the City.

ALBANY, Dec. 1.-The fact that gov
ernor elect Grover Cleveland was to ar
rive in this city from Buffalo by the St.
Louis express at 6 o'clock this morn
ing, was kept secret, and very few
k.ew he was in Albany until after 10
o'clock. He escaped the scrutiny of
the curious by hurrying from the de-
pot across the street to the Delavan
House in the twilight of the early morn
ing, and not until he had registered did
the attaches of the Delavan have the
slightest intimation that he was to be
their guest. He was assigned to room
454, to which he retired Immediately,
and did not appear again until / z. NJ,
when he called for hack and was
driven to the State street entrance of
the capitol. He was not even recog-
nized by the orderlies, who treated him
just as they would any other ordinary
visitor. Taking the elevator, he stop
ped at tie first floor, and ushered him
self into the presence of Gov. Cornell.
As he entered the executive chamber
Gov. Cornell arose from the table at
which he was sitting and cordially ex-
tended his hand, which was vigorously
clssped.
The news that the governor elect was
in the capitol spread with wonderful
rapidity. The Rev. I. Dewitt Tai
mage, of Brooklyn, who moment be-
fore had paid his respects to Gov. Cor
nell, strolled back to catch a glimpse
of the man who has received such an
unprecedented majority. The two gov
ernors were in each others company
for nearly an hour, when they took u
carriage and were driven to the execu-
tive mansion on Eagle street, where
they spent fifteen minutes in the in
spection of Gov. Cleveland's home, at
least for three years to come. Subse-
quently the governor elect returned to
the Delavan House, where he was met
by Mr. Daniel Manning, Senator Thos.
F. Grady, D. S. Lamont, st. Clair Nc
Kelway, and others. He chatted
pleasantly for few minutes before 60
ing to dinner, his rotund figure and
pleasant, winning face being conspicu-
Gus in the throng.

SLEEPING WITH SERPENTS.

Jaaksor FILA \ Times
Jackson Ella J Times.

Prof. Bell, the Smithsonian Insti-
tute agent, shipped his last collection
of snakes to the north two weeks ago,
and already has his museum full sgain.
1t is surprising how rapidly they be-
come domesticated under his treat
ment. During the recent cold snap
some of them that he turns loose in
mis- room at night climbed up the bed
posts and coiled themselves up In bis
blankets. He felt them hunting for
cozy spots about his legs, and knew
that he ought to get up and provide
them with some loose straw, but q
sleepy man in q warm bed of a cold
night is not over obliging, and the
Prof snored on musically, as Is his
custom. The reptiles crowded upon
one another, quarreled, fought little,
Kissed. but the Prof. did not bulge

was q gentle swaying up and down oi

serpent moved about, getting himself
comfortable, when suddenly he slapped
about twe-.hirds Of his frigid length
against ;ae warm legs of the DOING
proprietor.
The proprietor made violent re-
mark. He sat up IN bed, gathered q
handful of snakes in each hand de
posting them carefully ON the foor;
then, throwing back the bedclethes,
