The Attempted Assassination of Presi-
 dent JackSnn.

Thomas Fl. Benton, in his excellent hook, Thirty Years in the United States Senate" gives detailed account of an attempt to assassinate Gen. Jack son, which was made in the year 1885
 On Friday, the 30th of January, the President, with some of his Cabinet, at tended the funeral ceremonies of Warren R. Davis, Esq, in the Hall of the House of Representatives, of which body Mr. Davis had been member from the State of South Carolina The procession had moved out with the body, aud its front had reached the foot of the broad steps of the eastern portico, when the Presi- dent, with Mir. Woodbury, Secretary of the. Treasury, and Mir. Maklon Dicker- son, Secretary of the Navy, were issuing from the door of the great rotunda, which opens upon the portico. At that instant person stepped from the crowd into the little open space ill front of the President, leveled a pistol at him at distance of about eight feet, and at- tempted to fire. It was a percussion lock, and the cap exploded without fir ing the powder in the barrel. The ex- plosion of the cap was so loud that many persons thought the pistol had fired. heard it at the foot of the steps, far from the place, and great crowd be- tween. Instantly the person dropped the pistol which had missed fire; took another which he had ready cooked in the left hand, concealed by a cloak leveled it, and pulled the trigger. It was also percussion lock, and the cap ex- ploded without firing the powder in the barrel. The President instantly rushed upon him with his uplifted cane the man shrunk back Mir. Woodbury aimed a blow at him Lieut.. Gedney, of the navy, knocked him down he was se- cured by the bystanders, who delivered him to the officers of justice for judicial examination. The examination took place before the Chief Justice of the district, Mir. Cranch, by whom he was committed in default of bail. His name was ascertained to be Richard Lawrence, an Englishman by birth, and house painter by trade, at present out of en- ployment, melancholy and irascible. The pistols were examined, and found to be well loaded; and fired afterward without fail, carrying their bullets true, and driving them through inch boards at thirty feet distance; nor could any reason be found for the two failures at the door of the rotuntla. On his exami- nation the prisoner seemed to be at his ease, as if unconscious of having done anything wrong-refusing to crcss- examine the witnesses who testified against him, or to give any explanation of his conduct. The idea of an unsound mind strongly imp; essing itself upon the public opinion, the Marshal of the Dis t1iat invited tyyn Of fba T1ouf able physicians of the city Or. Caussin and Dr. Thos. SewelD to visit him and examine into his mental condition. Lawrence was declared insane, and never brought to trial

Curious Works of Ants.

Ants are constructed with the "back bone in front, and the heart and other internal organs on the opposite side are put together upside down, as we might think. Their mouth is for biting and swallowing food only, not for breathing. Their bite is so determined and lasting that they arc used in some countries for confning the edges of wounds and cuts. Ants heads are presented to the cut surface, which they grasp with the nippers, when their bodies are cut of, leaving a whole row of them to hold the flesh. They are cheaper than sticking plaster ln some countries.
 As an illustration of their ingenuity and intelligence, 1t was stated that they sometimes excavate tunnels under rivers of considerable depth and width, and use the tunnels for transporting sup plies. They dig wells twenty feet deep and foot in diameter for drinking water. The barves ting ants plant seeds on farms, which they cultivate with great care and neatness, keeping every weed down and harvesting the grain, curing and storing it safely in weather proof cavities in the soil. They also organize into divisions with commanders, each individual doing a certain kind of work. Some ants are smart enough for engineers, while others only know enough to do as they are told. They can count and make correct estimates of fhe magnitude of an undertaking, as proved by observers.
 Eight chrysolides (often called the pggs of ants) were placed in a path ( c.. 4 eir,rla o1 found them and undertook to remove them to their home. Several were car lied by the single ant patiently enough, out when twenty chrysolides were
 laced in the heap, another ant was ,ound engaged in tho work. The pile vas increased at intervals til eighty ants engaged in the undertaking, showing
 hat Le workers were detailed accord ,ug to the demands of the cases. Ants battles sometimes last many days, in ono case seven weeks, the victors finally taking the stores and removing them to iheir own houses. Their wars are Iuite as justifiable as those of men, when the obiect-pillage-is the same.
 They have the power, too, of knowing members of their own communities even after six-monihs' absence. Stran- gers are always driven of or killed. They are very helpful to each other. and show sympathyin case of accident or 4ickness. Some families of ants build ,rched roads covered by an arch of clay ,r mortar for protection against enc mics, and show great skill in the work, which is under the supervision of trained
 ngineers, who order rebuilding if the work is not perfect. Some kinds of ants eep COWS, build cow-yards, and milk their cows regularly, and don't throw mi king-stools at them either to make them "give down." but stroke and pat their backs very tenderly. Or course these cows are the plant aphides 0 familiar to farmers and gardeners Prof. z. $. Morse.

PERHAPS the best and at the same time the easiest way to remove a wart is by rubbing the wart morning and night, or as often as convenient, until sufficient degree of warmth is produced. We have never known wart so obsti- nate that it would not disappear with the atove treatment in week or two at the latest.
 FoR neuralgia in the face and other acute suffering elsewhere the following remedy has been tried with good effect Cut thick slice of bread. across the loaf-fresh bread is best. Soak one side for minute ill boiling water, and rap idly sprinkle cayenne pepper over the hot side. Apply, while still smoking hot, to the painful surface. The bread retains the heat long enough for the cayenne to begin to act, and cayenne does not affect delicate skins as mustard does. It acts as a rubefacient, but not a blister. Another excellent remedy for congestion from cold is to apply poul- tice of flaxseed meal and cayenne pep per. E keeping bit of oil silk or the outside of the poultice-cloth it will re- tain both heat and moisture for long time.
 INoRowINa toe-nails aFe caused by the improper maGher of cutting the nail | (geneially of the great toe), and then i wearing a short, badly-made shoe. The nail, beginning to grow too long and rather wide at the corners, is trimmed around the corner, which gives tenn porary relief. But it then begins to | grow wider in the side where 1t was cut of, and, as the shoe presses the flesh against the corner, the nail cuts more and more into the raw flesh, which be- comes exceedingly tender and irritable. If this state continues long the toe be- comes more and more painful and ulcerated, and proud flesh sprouts up from the sorest points. Walking greatly increases the suffering till positive rest becomes indispensable. To treat in- growing toe-nails, proceed as follows Begin the effort at cure by simple appli- cation to the tender part of a small quantity of chloride of iron. It is found in the drug stores in iquid form, though sometimes in powder. There is immediately moderate sensa- tion of pain or burning. In few min- utes the tender surface is felt to be dried up, tanned or mummifed, and it ceases to be painful. The patient who could not put his foot to the floor now finds that he can walk without pain. By per mitting the hardened, wood like fiesE to remain two or three weeks, it car easily be removed by soaking the foot 1T warm water. If thereafter the nails bt cut no more around the corners or sides but always cut in across the front end they in future grow forward, and by wearing shoes of O reasonably-good sizt and shape all future trouble will b. avoided.

1'aklng Care of Cesar.

"Late one evening Col. Don Morri- son, of St. Louis, and party of boon companions were returning home from downtown, where they had been enjoy ing whist and wine Pausing in front of his elegantr sidence, Col. Don insisted upon the party's coming in and taking parting glass. No, no, Don we'll go home. It's very late, and we won't keep 'ou up.' These and similar expostula- ons were made, but Col. Don kept ol.
 sisting. At last one of the gentlemen suggested that mebbe Mrs. Morrison might object. The Colonel seemed deeply offended at this. He drew hira- self up proudly and said, scornfully :: Now you shall come in, for intend to show you that am Caesar in this house ' 5, arcely had he uttered this proud dt claration than a second story window rpised, and feminine voice, cold and rntting, rang out on the pale air You are right, gentlemen go home to your wives.

IT is stated that the Bank of France has almost entirely abandoned chemical tests in favor of the camera for detect ing forgeries. The sensitive plate not only proclaims forthwith the doing of the eraser or penknife, but frequently shows, under the bold figures of the forger, the sum originally borne on the check. So ready Is the camera to detect ink marks that carte-de- Ujstte inclosed in letter may to the eye appear without blemish, while copy of it in the cam era will probably exhibit traces of writ ing across the face, where it has merely been in contact with the written page.

T ii..le does the world think what tre- |r.endous capital is required to carry on Tits travel, traffic and commerce.. The railroad net, woven all over the globe, consists of POO, 600 miles Asia. Austra- lia and Africa can claim only the four teenth part, the other thirteen-four- tween Europe and America. The roll ing stock in use over this railroad net consists of 6S, GOO locomotives, 120 900 passenger and palace cars. and 1.500. 900 -fIeisfit cars. The capital invested in all tue railways is estimated at twenty mill ierds of dollars. The commerce on the seas is carried on by 12,000 steamers and over 1Q9, coo sailing vessels. The lonnage of these vessels amounts to over twenty million tons. Photographic com munieation is maintained by 800, GOO miles of wire, of which about five-eighths fall to Europe, two-cighths to America, and fully one-eighth to the submarine telegraph system. There are 10000 stations, from which 10000, 900 dis patches are sent annually, or an average of over 100000 daily. According to population, Switzerland does tine most ielegraphing, there being one dispatch sent annually for every iuhabitant.

Houses Built Of cotton.

OF all substances apparently the least
likely to be used i'll the construction of a
tire-prOOf building, cotton would, per-
haps, take the first rank, and paper the
second; and yet both these materials are
actually being employed for the purpose
indicated, and their use will probably
be extended. Compressed paper pulp is
successfully used in the manufacture of
doors, wall panelings, and for other
similar purposes, with the result that all
risk of Wrapping and cracking is Obvia-
ted, while increased lightness is attained
and the fear of dry-r0t is forever ban
ished. Papier-mache, after having SER
we'd useful purpose in an unObstructive
manner for years as material for small
trays, paper-knives and other such light
articles, has now suddenly assumed a
still more important position in the in
dustrial world. A still more sudden
and striking advance has been made in
the employment of cotton as building
material. A preparation called cellulOid
in which cotton is leading ingredient,
has been used lately as substitute for
ivory in the manufacture of such arti-
cles as billiard balls and paper cutters,
and now Canadian manufacturer has
invented process by which compressed
cotton may be used, not merely for doors
and window-frames, but for the whole
facade of large buildings. The enOr-
nous and increasing demand for paper
for its normal uses as printing and
writing material prevents the extended
use Of papier-mache as building mater
ial, for which it is so well suited in so
many ways; but the production of cotton
is practically unlimited.
