A gentleman who has recently been
travelling through Georgia and Miss
isslppi says there are eighty-seven
counties i'll Georgia where man can
not buy,beg or steal a drink of whis-
ky, and none can be purchased in the
State except in some of the larger
towns. The people are fanatical on
the subject, and in Mississippi they
have gone to such an extreme that
they tax billiard tables 81, 900 piece
under the belief that they are de-
vice for the encouragement of drink
ing. There are only few foreign
born citizens in the State, and the ma
tive American voters enact laws sat-
isfactory to themselves.

The New York Tribune says: The
principal point in the address of Lord
Coleridge to the Yale College students
was in reference to the study of the
classics. He disclaimed any wish to
criticise anybody, but what he said
was practically direct reply to the
recent Grafton of Charles Francis Ad-
ans. Coleridge said he owed what
ever degree of success in life he has
attained to the constant study of Lat
in and Greek. This personal testimo-
ny, coming from such source, must
be considered very strong. Moreover,
other arguments which Coleridge adj
yanced We're forcible and we'll put.
In this controversy at present the
classics are decidedly ahead.

A curious fact about water is that
it is the rust of the metal known as
hydrogenium. When Oxygen COM
bines with iron it forms reddish rust
and themetal becomes in time disinte-
q ated. In this condition it is said to
be oxidized. Now, waters simplyox-
idizel hydrogenium. The metal is
present in the sun and all the planets
in enormous quantities. Indeed it is
said that the human body is compos-
cd Of 81 pals of water, mingled with
some lime, iron, and certain salts.
Chemistry has revealed to us many
marve.s, but none greater than the
composition of common water.

Commissioner Mcfarland, of the
| General Land Office has rendered a
decision, which, if sustained by the
Secretary Of the Interior, will restore
to the State of Kansas more than L.
100000 acres of public land previous
ly certified to the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fc Railroad. 1t was aver
red by the State that the grant made
by Congress March 3, 1868, to aid in
the construction of the road was con-
ditional that the State might give the
company odd numbered sections only
Of unappropriated public lands, with
in ten miles or less OF the line of the
road and the branch proposed to be
constructed, and that al the lands
which, previous to the approval of the
act, has been reserved to the United
States, or otherwise disposed of by
competent authority, were exempted
from the operation of the act. The
records of the Land Office show, it is
said, that there had been certified to
the State, for the benefit of the road,
an immense quantity of land in ex-
cess of the amount to which the COM
pany is entitled, as the line of the road
was not duly located within the terms
of the act and the Neosho Valley
branch, for which the lands were with
drawn, was never built, and the value
of the land was not restored to the
State by the commissioners. The land
affected by this decision is said to be
worth about $5,O00,OO0. An appeal
will probably be taken by the COM
pany to Secretary Teller.

THE PRESIDENTS. DANGER.
An Alleged Kentucky Colonel Who Wanted
to Assassinate Him.

New York, Nov. 27.-About 1 o'clock yes
terday afternoon a man evidently sixty
years of age entered the lobby of the Fifth
avenue Hotel. His hair was slightly tinged
with gray, and brushed in a manner to
partly hide his face. He would readily have
been taken for a Southern merchant. He
walked through the corridors with his hands
in his inner coat pockets. 1t was evident
that the stranger was looking for some one
in particular, and acted nervonsly and sus-
piciously. When Detective Prior ap-
preached him and asked him his business,
be replied. II have a duty to perform"
Detective Prior directed him to the stairs,
when the man shouted, II am colonel from
Kentucky, and have made this last trip for
the express purpose of shooting President
Arthur" AS he uttered these words he tap
ped the side-pocket of his coat significantly
and called a carriage and drove off. 1t was
private conveyance, and was driven by a
coachman wearing the uniform of private
employe. Detective Prior says that he firmly
believes that the stranger would have assas-
sinated the President had he seen him, for
the mans eye was bright, and his conversa-
ton earnest and business-lke.

A FRENCH REPuLsE.
Rumor that COurbet Has Been Defeated and

Rumor that COurbet Has Been Defeated and
His Communications Cut Of.
PARIS, Nov. 27.-Rumors were current this
afternoon in the lobbies of the Chamber of
De puties that Admiral Courbet with his
forces had been defeated in Tonquin by the
Black Flags and his communications cut off
The rumors were given more credence be-
cause there is no official information forth
coming. Considerable uneasiness is felt be-
cause of the absence of news of Admiral
Courbet's expedition.
Excited crowds thronged the boulevards
until late hour tonight, eagerly discuss
ing the rumors of French defeat in Tonquin
The reticence of the government was much
commented on. Several members of the
committee on Tonquin credits, urged the
Prime Minister to abandon his reserve and
inform the Chamber of the position of
affairs. In view of this state Of things the
following semi-otficial communication was
sent to the papers:
We are authorized to declare up to the mo-
ment OF going to press that the government has
received no dispatch from Tonquin unfavOrable
to the French, Tue alarmist reports may there
fore be regarded as FALSE
The Voltaire denies that England offered
to mediate on the Tonquin question.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MUNcrE, Nov. 27.-Further details of the
murder of Rial Scotts wife and child and his
subsequent suicide after he had committed
the crime, were obtained to-day 1t seems
that during his absence in the West he wrote
to friends that he would kill his wife unless
she consented to live with him again. On
Saturday morning he returned iron: the West
and publicly renewed his threats The
friends to whom he spoke laughed at him,
and after some words he seemed to have
quieted down and said he would
go and see his wife. At the same
time he promised not to use any violence.
Going to the house where his wife was stop
ping he met her at the door. They entered
the house together. As far as can be learned,
he requested her to return to him. She
firmly refused. Then hot words passed, and
mutual recriminations followed. Finally,
in an outburst of anger, he drew a large
knife and, seizing his wife by the throat,
plunged it into her breast piercing the heart,
and she fell dead. Selling the child, a boy
of some four or five years, he deliberately
cut its throat from ear to ear. Leaving the
two bodies on the floor of the stting,room,
Scott went deliberately to a bedroom and
locking himself in, took large dose of NOR,
phine, which proved fatal.
A neighbor who entered the house this
morning found the bodies of the woman
and child in a pool of blood on the floor.
The bloody knife lay beside the corpse Of
the child. An alarm was raised at once, and
people from all the surrounding country
hocked to the place Search was made for
Scott. and his dead body was found in the

THE WAR IN EGYPT.
No Truth In the Report that Khartoum Has

No Truth In the Report that Khartoum Has
Been Captured by Ell Mahdi.
LONDON, Nov. 27.-There is nothing here
to confirm the report in America that Khar-
toum had fallen into the hands of Ell Mahdi.
On the contrary, the last advices indicated
that the siege was likely to be stubbornly
opposed, as the garrison was being reinforced
and provisioned.
A Cairo telegram says: "a correspondent
telegraphs that no news has been received
yet from Khartoum. This is regarded as
giving ground for hope that the recent re-
ports of the fight between the troops of Hicks
Pasha and Ell Mahdi have been exaggerated.
The opinion is general that if the worst re-
ports are confirmed it will be best to send
Indian troops to the Soudan in order to pre-
vent the necessity for landing Turkish
troops in Egypt. Six hundred gems d'armes
have started for Suakim. 1t is rumored the
province of Dongola has risen against the
Egyptian government"

Monaghan has been suspended, owing to his
action on the occasion of the Orange and
