He Resumed.

One of the biggest liars in the state OF
Michigan in 1859 was an old citizen of
the county Of Wayne, who used to hang
ont around the Dearborn hotel and gro.
ceries. In the winter of that year aud
1850, he was brought low with sickness.
and he made a solemn vow that if he got
we'll he would quit lying. He recovered,
and as soon as able to be about he frank
ly stated his position.
Some of the boys could hardly be-
one night when be had the head of q
sugar barrel in his favorite grocery some
one asked:
"Uncle Billy, didn't you once assert
that you had moved six acres Of grass
in single day?" :.
Eye 8, l said so, but guess I didn't
measure very close. guess the field
didn't hold over three acres"
"And havn't you repeatedly said that
you we're in the Mexican WARP"
II presume so, but you see I had
an uncle in it, and I suppose kind O.
got it mixed"
"And haven't you Dragged of cutting
five cords Of wood per day?"
did say Ave cords? probably mis-
spoke myself. l reckon it was about
three"
"And haven't you claimed that you
lifted 1000 pounds Of old iron?"
Lets see! Did say 1000? There
might have BEEN few pounds less, but
you see had a powerful brace for my
knees"
The old man felt that he was losing
prestige by scaling down lies which he
had made plenty of men believe, and he
was becoming very uneasy, but there
was one more question. The interro.
gator looked Uncle Billy square in the
face and asked:
"Now, sir, do you admit that you lied
when You told story here eight weeks
ago about your killing two robbers in
Texas?"
mo, sir! no sir!" holly exclaimed the
old man, Is he slid of the barrel. "I've
been sick and I've had narrow squeak
of it, and I've made q vow not to do sny
more lying. but if you chaps think I'm
going to hang out here and play second
fiddle to liars who have never been out
of the county you are badly sold! Vows
be hanged! Gentlemen, resume bust
ness!"

An accidental. but rather thrilling,
meeting took place between two victim

their friends, Capt. Sackett's injuries
were less severe though he also bore
marks of the fray. Pastor Taft was in
dignant at what had occurred, and sew
eral women became hysterical.
All the residents of Bayville agreed
yesterday that Smith had been worsted,
but they could not agree as to who had
struck the first blow. Captain Sackett
and his friends say he acted simply IN
self. defense, and that Smith struck him
without provocation. The assault, they
say, grew out OF an old family quarrel.
"About nine O'Clock on Thursday
night" Capt. Smith said yesterday to q
reporter, las was on my way to the
church, and was passing the street we'll,
almost opposite the church, a man, who
was crouching on the ground, struck me
on the head with club, and fell to the
ground unconscious. lay there long
time, and when came to and went into
church to see Sackett, he, without warn
ing pulled the saw handle from under
his coat and struck me with it. Then l
struck him, and the fight began. 1t was

Extravaganza In Philadelphia Public
Building.

WAsHING1oN, ID. c., June l0--Thc Hill
investigating COMMITTEES to-day continued
the cross examination OF Gen. Stenmclz
regarding the charges of extravaganza in the
construction of the public building at Phia-
dClphia. lie maintained that his estimates
were very liberal. Coleman, counsel for
Mnrcb, desired 10 go into the matter of the
construction of buildings ut Cincinnati, st.
Louis aud other places. The counsel Tor
Hill opposed this. Coleman asserted that
a corruption fund of $4,000 was raised and
used in Washington to fix the contracts for
these buildings. The committee decided
to conline itself TO the Philadelphia
building for the present. Kenneth Ray
nor, solicitor of the treasury, called by the
prosecution testified that there is no statute
which authorizes the supervising architect to
make contracts for and on behalf Of the gov
eminent. No money can be expended upon
public building until the plans and cstim-
atts have been approved by the secretary of
the treasury. The power 10 make contracts
could not he delegated TO the supervising
architect. Coleman then preferred specific
charges against Hill of making eXtravagant
contracts with Dan French Tor furnshinj

asked the committee to order Hill to produce
all the papers bearing upon the matter. The
committee so ordered and adjourned till to-

mary, preached the annual sermon before
the Baptist State Education Society. He
strongly combated the views lately ad-
vocated by President Elliott, of Harvard,
upon beneficiary education. lie said all stu
dents in all colleges receives benefits for
which they never pay tuition. The bill
never covers the real expense 10 the college
of the instruction given. The law and
medical student is as truly helped as the STU
dent of theology.
At the meeting of the university board a
committee reported upon the alleged (latey
putlished) hazing screpe by students at
Earlville. The account as published was
characterized as false and extravagant.
There were no pistols, no barrel with nails
drawn inward no bloodshed no. physical in
jury, no drunkenness, no drinkieg, no con-
stable The facts were most meagre. But
one street lamp was broken. Samuel Colgate
OF New York was reelected president Of the
education society. Rev. II. S. Lloyd, secre-
tarv of the society, has 80 beneficiary stu
dculs and 1870 students for the ministry.

France and Madagascar

Tamatave, the principal seaport of NADIA
gascar, on its East coast, has been taken by
the French under Admiral Pierre, after a
bombardment. The Malagassy ENJOYS, in
England, state that the demands of the
French were preposterous. They knew that
the ultimatum would be rejected. The
Queen of Madagascar gave stringent orders
not to return the French fire. She recalled
most of her troops TO the capital, anu only
200 remained at Tamatave to maintain
order. Tamatave was defended hy
merely one mud fort mounting
four old muzzle-loading guns.
The ENJOYS regard the bombardment .of
Tamatave as wanton and cruel act. They
fear that many foreign residents of Tamatave
were killed, The Queen is now shut off
from foreign powers. 1t will take the
Freuch at least five months TO march to the
capital There is sufficient force in the cap
ital for a siege of several months. The
Ilovas have over G,000 disciplined rifles.
The nation will fight TO the bitter end. Mean
while it is hoped the Powers will interfere.
PARIS, June 19.-Thc Malagassy ENJOYS
had an interview with Prime Minister Ferry
yesterday before the news of the capture
of Tamatave had been received 1t is thought
that all further negotiations will now he left
in the hands of Admiral Pierre and the
French agent in Madagascar.
