Bell, the Bruiser.

Last evening Frank Bell, large and
powerful negro man, who drives transfer
wagon for Warren Galbresth, while in
drunken condition, engaged in an alterca-
ton with a bartender in a well known
saloon. 1t seems that the difficulty
grew out of the settlement of an
account for drinks, the amount in
volved being sixty cents. The bartender
followed Bell tn the door, when the latter
struck him powerful blow with a bottle
of beer which he carried in his hand. The
blow felled the young man and the big ruff
fan then proceeded to gOuge his victim in
the neck with the broken bottle, infiicting
a very ugly but not serious wound of a
semi-circular shape, extending from the
throat almost to the forehead,
but fortunately missing the eye.
The murderOus negro then fed
but was soon captured, aud is now behind
the bars.
The young mans wounds were dressed
by Dr. Neal, and at late hour last night
he was reported as resting comfortably.

It's a fact. In Sedalia the roads run along

In Fayette the depot is half-mile from
town. In Marshall il is the same way. In
California the main portion Of the town is
a mile off. In Jefferson City the road is at
the foot of these eternal hills that look like

A CHAT WITH COLFAX.
An Interesting Interview With the
Eminent Lecturer and
Statesman.

Hon. Schuyler Colfax, the talented lee
turer, ex speaker OF the house OF represent
atiyes and ex-vice-president of the United
States. arrived In the city yesterday and
took rooms at Sichers, where he was visited
during the afternoon by BAZoO reporter.
The man of news was received very gra-
clio, ly by the genial gentleman, but he
announced in advance that he never per-
mitled himself to be interviewed, neverthe-
less some yery interesting facts were CLEANED
from the personal history Of this truly self
made man.
Mr.. COlfax is an ex-newSpaper man, hay-
ing started paper at South Bend, Indiana,
his present home, when he was twenty-one,
or twenty-five years Of age.
When but twenty seven years of age, In
the year 1851, he was the nominee OF his
party for congress, and says that he was
cheated out of his election at that time.
In 1854 he was more successful, being
elected by handsome majority, aud re-
elected five successive terms, making his
term of office in the lower house of the ma
tional legislature twelve years. He was
elected speaker In 1868, and filled this po-
sition with distinction and credit for three
terms, being very populsr even with his
political opponents as a presiding officer.
In 1868 he was elected vice-presldent on
the ticket with General Grant.
To Mr.. Colfax belongs the distinguished
honor of being the ouly man who has ever
filled the position of presiding officer OF both
houses OF congress, ne having been speaker
of the lower house as stated, and alter
wards by virtue of his Office as vice-presi-
dent, presiding officer OF the senate.
Mr.. Colfax Is sixty years of age, and says
that he feels fifteen years younger than ne
did when engaged in politics; that he lees
happy relief from the cares of official
position, and hence, although he has at
times worked very hard since he has been
ON the lecture platform. vet his general
health has been greatly improved.
The distinguished gentleman courteous
". but very emphatically declined to be
interviewed on political matters, saying
that he was not politician, and that as
he had told the reporters IN
ST. Louis and other large cities. there
were plenty of politicians to whom 1t was
only necessary TO apply the rePoriorial
pump to find out all they knew OF what
was transpiring in the political world, aud
perhaps much more.
Being a practical printer, Mr.. COlfax
naturally feels an interest IN newspapers
and newspaper men, and spent some time
very pleasantly yesterday afternoon in
looking through the BAZoO establishment.
Upon taking his leave, the ever smiling
SCHUYLER said that alter all, he would much
prefer being all editor, and country edi-
tor al that, to a politician. "Of course" he
remarked. parenthetically, 81 do not wish to
be understood as CHASING you gentlemen
who are conducting the truly metropolitan
dailies OF your BEAUTIFUL city, as country ed
itors." The implied apology was OF course
accepted.

THE DIFFERENCE.

In that barbaric land afar,
VIII re wild Fanaticlsm reigns,
Rolls on its way a pOnderOus car
And cruel, priestly power c0nstrains
Many a wretch TO throw himself
Under its wheel, and on the spot
The hapess HindOO enus his lie
A victim of the Juggernaut.
But in this land of liberty,
How bright the contrast and how wide
Each man has free, untrammelled choice
No one can force him 10 decide
To throw his life away, and die
In all the wretchedness of a sOt
Each for himself can choose 10 he
victim OF the jug or not.

ANNAPOLIS MD, MONDAY EVENING. AUGUST Is, 1884,
Is 1T True or is ii Falses

If we mistake not the city has now
in its. employ only four street hands,
who are paid $3.50 per day. 1t is
reported that under the Republican
city regime the street employe were
paid one dollar per day in cash,
whereas under the present rule, they
receive their pay in city scrip, and
this they have to peddIe or hawk
about and dispose of at heavy, if not
ruinous, discount. If this be true, it
is a crying outrage upon honest toll
and labor, and should receive the
early attention of the Board. Why
cannot the City Treasurer pay the
men in cash? Are not the collections
of taxes sufficient? We do not vouch
for the correctness of the above state
ment, but only give our views if the
matter is true as reported to us.
