No More LiOnizIng Assassination
Special to Cincinnati Commercial.


WASHINGTON, May 9.-Senator
Hawley offered in the Senate this
morning a resolution instructing the
Senate Committee on the District Of
Columbia to inquire into the manage
ment of the District Jail, the treat
ment of prisoners and the regulations
regarding the admission of visitors.
In explanation of his resolution SEN
ator Hawley said that it was a notori-
GUS fact that one prisoner had lately
escaped from the Jail, and that another
was holding daily public levees, which
were attended by from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty visitors, and
that he was doing a thriving business
and making money. He considered that
such action outraged public decency,
and he consequently offered this reso.
luton. The resolution was adopted
without a dissenting vote. 1t was
lot, however, actually necessary, as a
rule was adopted at the Jail yesterday,
torbidding any more visitors to the
condemned assassin. 1t was thought
best, however, not to break him off
too suddenly, and few visitors, in
GLIDING number of members of
Congress and their constituents from
abroad, we're admitted to see him. A
fewer number were also admitted
to-day, but within a day or two the
rule will be rigidly enforced, and the
condemned man will be secluded from
the public as much as possible. 1t
was at first determined TO allow him
to see visitors until the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia
should decide his writ Of error, but
there has been such strong condemna-
ton Of the action of the Jail authorities
that it was thought best to adopt this
rule.

The Courts Mistake.
IPeck's SUM-

Judge Davis used to tell some admirable
stories of an old Illinois Judge, one of
which we chance particularly to remember.
One of the judges was rather remarkable
for conveying to jurors in his charges to
them his own opinions in regard to the
merits OF the case. In one case he had
done SO with great plainness, but to his
amazement the jury hung out for hours
without coming to an agreement. The
Judge inquired of the bailiff what was the
matter, and learned from him that one
juror was hanging out against the other
eleven. He sent for the jury at once, and
stating to the jurors that he had plainly
intimated how the case ought to be decided,
said he understood one juror was standing
out against the other eleven. He proceed
ed to rebuke the juror sharply. The OBJ
stinate juror was nervous little man, and
as soon as the judge was done he rose and
said: "Judge, may say word?" eyes,
SIR said the indignant Judge: what have
you to say?" Swell, what I wanted to say
is, am the only Teller that's on your SIDE"

SIX KICKING MULES.
-dn Occurrence im Guatemala Reported Dy
q Journalist ia Oregon.
IPnrtla11d Standard 1

Portland Standard.
a Standard reporter yesterday heard the
following story from the lips of we'll
known citizen: ''While in the Guatemala
recently was travelling from Esquintia to
the capital city over one of the most rug
ged and villainous roads to be found prob
ably the wide world over. On nearing the
summit of a high range Of hills where q
turn of the road revealed an immense ra-
vine or chasm some 500 feet deep, 1 over
took a Mexican riding mule, with string
of five attached to the leader. The custom
of leading mules in that country is as fol-
lows: Their tails are tied in knots, with a
bunch of grass or cornstalk leaves fastened
to each as bait. A strip of cowhide is
firmly tied from the tail of the leading
mule around the neck of the one follow
ing, asd so on to the last. The rider
mounts the leader and urges him on by a
vigorous application of whip and spur, the
baited tails enticing the rest to follow.
''The,,leading mule stumbled over boul-
der, the rider commenced to yell, whip and
spur. This unlocked for indignity made
the mule lash out, reaching the head of No.
2 with terrible whack. He, aroused and
insulted, did likewise, with like result to
No. 3, who followed suit on to No. 4. Dit
to from to and to 6, who, being last,
had to kick at vacancy. Here there were
six mules all kicking behind, as mules
never kicked before. The Mexican swore,
spurred and whipped to his utmost. 1t
was soon evident that they were backing
down the hill with the sheer force of kick
ing. 1t was the most iudicrous sight I
ever saw, l expected every moment some
thing would give way, but rider, mules,
tail and cowhide held together.
''At last the edge Of the precipice was
reached by the hind mule, who tumbled
over. dragging the next after him-stlll
kicking. He pulled the one preceding
over, still kicking, and so on until the first
was reached-all still kicking. Looking
down the ravine, could dimly discern the
mass of mulanity all in heap. still kick
ing, and for aught l know. are still kicking
there to this day, as a Guatemala mule
never tires Of kicking"

-1nscHy the Esqui,luttir.

correspondent of the San Francisco
Bulletin, who has been cruising in VIVA er,
writes as follows: By the 1st of July we
had gone as far north as Icy cape, the high
est point reached by Capt. Cook, the great
circumnavigator, who fell at Kalahakua
bay, Hawaii. About fifty miles off this
cape the ship commenced killing walrus
on the ice. A few years ago whalemen
harpooned walrus from their whale-boats.
Now 1t is difficult to get within gun-shot of
them. To kill them they must be shot in
the neck, and if the first shot fails they will
jump off the ice. However, should they
stand fire more than half fall overheard and
sink. A walrus produces about seventeen
gallons of Oil and five pounds of ivory.
In the latter part of July the ships came
to anchor at Point Barrow. The northern
coast of Alaska is low, level and marshy,
without tree or shrub. Mosquitoes, large
and fierce, darken the air and sing in
dismal chorus from Cape Lisbourne to
Point Barrow. Point Barrow is a long,
narrow peninsula. on which there is a con-
siderable settlement of Esquimaux. The
natives have driftwOod stuck up on end on
each side of the peninsula to direct the
fight of wild ducks across given point,
where they conceal themselves behind
breastwork to either shoot or kill them with
sings as they fly over. The Esquimaux
eat every part Of an animal Or fowl. Even
the entraiis are utilized, and OF walrus they
eat even the hide, which is often more
than an inch in thickness. When any game
is brought in it is buried; if the weather
Is fine they will cook it, otherwise they eat
it raw. In winter these people live in I'M
foreground houses: i'll summer they live in
tents made out OF walrus hide; but these
of Point Barrow have plentiful supply of
canvas from the sails Of numerous whale
ships wrecked in that vicinity, and all their
tents are made Of this canvas. They seem
to be we'll supplied with guns: in nearly
every tent there was a eech-loading rifle,
and shOt-guns of ancient and modern pat
terms were scattered around in great pro-
fusion. In summertime they travel along
the coast in their skin canoes; in winter
they hitch their dogs to sledges ana move
over the ice. On the eastern extremity of
Point Barrow the Esquimaux lay their
dead wrapped in canvas, with their per-
sOnal property beside them, exposed to the
elements and wild beasts. They were about
as many dead as live natives on the point.
All the Esquimaux bear the imprint of in
tense suffering, their faces being covered
with hair-like wrinkles. Contact with civ
ilization has been most fatal to the Esqui-
maux. Besides supplying them with rum
and communicating to them foul diseases,
the Americans have wantonly destroyed
the walrus, their main dependence for food.
Walrus are now getting scarce and wild,
and are practically beyond their reach.
Starvation has already made heavy inroads
among them

of state with desiring to prevent the pun
ishment of the thieves. Finally. Garfield
died, and Blaine began to work for mis- re-
tention in the cabinet.
M'vEAGa's VICTORY.
MacVeagh, on the contrary, was deter
mined that Blaine should not remain tx
, prevent the prosecutions, and to help il
making the Garfield administration bea1
any part of the responsibility of a failure
of justice. Blaine beganl by trying te
create public opinion in favor of his re
tention. His friends Of the newspaper
press cultivated the idea that he was the
incarnation of the Garfield administration
and its natural successor, with the hope
that it would be made impossible for Mr..
Arthur to deprive him of his Office. Mr.
MacVeagh, on the contrary, took the ground
that it was indecent to try to com
pei the president to inherit his
predecessors cabinet and policy, and
that it was proper that all the old cabinet
should resign at once in order to give Mr.
Arthur the opportunity to choose his own
advisers. This is where Mr.. MacVeagh
won. The public saw that neither Blaine
nor any ether cabinet officer should be
forced on Mr.. Arthur, and Mr.. Blaine went
out into private life. MacVeagh went out.
too, but he went out from choice, and, at
any rate, he had the satisfaction of seeing
the man whom he accused of trying to
thwart him and all the other officers of
Justice thwarted in his turn. 1t was an IN
happy day for Blaine, but Mr.. MacVeagh
had the satisfaction of knowing that he
terminated, at least temporarily, the public
life of a man who had embrOiled Garfield s
administration with Conkling, had COM
PEELED his chief to break his promise, and
had been the protector of men who ought
to be in the penitentiary. He considered
that, in going out, he had done the country
ard the memory of Garfield better service,
by taking Blaine with him, than he could
have done if both had remained. The star
route people lost a good friend in the cab
met when Blaine went.
MR.. BREwsTER's REPUTATION.
There is no doubt that MacVeagh's sue
cess o: has been of great help to the defend
ants. His heart may be in the right place,
but he has never done anything in the cases
but to obey the questionable behests of
George Bliss. Bliss is the attorney general
for all the purposes of the star route pros
ecutions. Mr.. Brewsters unfortunate hab-
its, pursued diligently through the summer,
have untitled him for the duties of the
Office. A great deal of charity has been
shown this cratic and vain old gentleman,
but his vices will not always be concealed
Marshal Henry now declares that he will
tell the country that Brewster was too
drunk all summer to know any thing about
the star route cases, and the worst of it is
most people here in Washington, both those
who sym pathize with the star route people
and those who do not, will believe him.

SIR John Mcdonald and the Cabman.
Toronto (Canada) Mall

Toronto (Canada) Mall
Mr.. DAWN, in his most delightful lecture
on Down the Gulf and by the lSea," late
ly delivered at Winnipeg and Regina, tells
the following very characteristic story of
the veteran statesman at the head of the
Canadian government: Gin due course
the party arrived at Quebec. The visit to
the Anglican cathedral brought on some
new and original ideas on the subject of
church decoration from Mr.. Roby, the visit
to the citadel, the st. Louis hotel and Mount
Hermon cemetery also contributing to the
general amusement and interest. And the
first chapter of what is really novel in
three chapters concludes with this scene,
which we believe is historical, and took
place this summer. On reaching the St.
Louis hotel they saw Sir John Mcdonald,
with his thoughtful face and dark curls,
which still fight hard against the blanch-
ing touch Of time. He was surrounded by
lot of cabmen allcrying: I'LL take you,
sir; I've fine horse, Sir john Then our
friends had the opportunity of Witnessing
one of those acts which more than even
his great ability has endeared Sir John
Mcdonald to large portion of the Cana
dian people. Sir John asked whether Jim
Mccullough was there. Jim was not there.
but little boy said Jim was on the stand.
and he would fetch him. Many years ago,
when parliament met in Quebec, Jim al
ways drove Sir John. Jim now came, old
and ragged, driving the worst cab in Que
bee. Sir John shook hands with him, in
quired how Biddy and the children were,
and then, amid cheers, in which even the
disappointed cabmen Joined, drove off to
visit the governor general and the Princess
Louise"

.SO[ced the Problem,
Jacksonville Fla, J Times.


A man from North Billerica. Mass.
bought piece of wild land near Lake
Hickpochee because of wonderful natural
curiosity which the land agent pointed out
to him. 1t was palmetto log wedged
into the branches of q water oak twenty
feet from the ground. The purchaser
moved upon the place, and spent his time
between meals and grubbing roots in won
dering at the log in the tree. One day last
week he solved the problem. 1t rained as
it rains only in the Everglades, turning a
flood of water from the saw-grass region
down into Lake Hickpochee, and his neigh
bors heard hirn shouting three miles away.
He hallooed all night long, and the next
morning they went over in boat and
brought him out. He was sitting in the
top of the tree, with his feet in the water,
and, with a long pole. was keeping off
floating palmetto logs that we're endanger-
ing his seat by wedging themselves in
among the branches. Theland agent thinks
he can sell the place for him at a profit
when the water goes down, if the flood does
not ruin the curiosity.
