when candor is urgent-meant to avert
impending danger or to rectify an error.

springs from friendship. Love is SYM

ROW AT A BALL.
A Big Sensation at n Small Washing
ton HeCepaiOn.


There was lively scene in the gentle
mems dressing room of Stewart Castle,
Washington, on the night of the 22d,
upon the occasion of Mrs. Stewards
throwing open her house for q general
reception to the officials and fashionable
society of Washington. A son of Con-
gressman Holman struck Senor Don
Carlos De Castro, secretary of the Ven
ezuelaD legation, in the mouth, and
knocked him down. Friends of both
parties interfered to prevent general
fight and in the struggle several blows
were exchanged between other excited
young men. Young Holman was gotten
out of the house and the row was
hushed up without it becoming general
ly known. 1t appears that a number of
the young men patronized the punch
bowl too freely and were in an excited
condition at the time of young Holman's
assault and so added to the excitement
instead of quietlng it when the attack
began. The cause of the assault of
young Holman was his attempt to resent
an impertinence addressed to young
lady friend of his, who was at the Stew
art ball. The guilty man was an at
tache of the South American legations.
Holman wes so furious in his desire to
revenge the afront that he rushed off
with an imperfect description of the
diplomatic fedgling. He thought De
Castro waa the man. He was simply
mistaken fer another. Before any ex
planation could be made he was knocked
out by the infuriated Hoosier. 1t is
thought the end is not yet.

DYNAMITE IN CHICAGO.
Internal Machines Found Among
Books Stolen From the Public
Library.

A young man whose name is Otto
Funk was arrested at Chicago, on the
night of the 22d, for having in his pos
session large number of books stolen
from the public library. The books
were packed in boxes which were re-
moved to the central police station, at
the new city hall. When the cases
were opened, the alarming discovery
was made that they contained, besides
the books, six or eight internal machines
containing dynamite in sufficient auanti-
ties to have blown up the entire city
hall. Funk, who, when he was arrested,
gave the name of J. G. Talbert, was a
student at the Chicago Medical College.
He acknowled that for fifteen months
he had been stealing books from the
library. He selected only the most
valuable works, such as medical and
scientific books. Under pressure Funk
told the officers that the books were hid
in the barn of his brother in-law, August
Liebrich, 3068 Lyman Street. The de-
tectives went to the place, and found
over 5000 volumes. Six patrol wagons
were called into requisition and the
books removed to the central station.
Funk had been an employe O. the
library, and is thought to be a crank.

Habit of LOBBYISTS.

The late Henry d. Foster, of Penn
sylvania, was one of the ablest lawyers
in our state, man of singular unset
fishness and perfect purity of character,
in every way lovable and greatly be-
loved.
While member of the legislature, a
prominent old gentlemen Familiarity
known as Jimmy" who made bust
ness of attending the sessions, came in
to the generals room, and in the course
of conversation about bill in the
house, remarked: General, there is
money in that bill, and you may as well
get some of it. / can get you $500 for
voting for it." The general, knowing
that moral Indignation would be
wasted, and also that the offer, from
Jimmy's standpoint, was made in pure
friendship, simply said: "You ought not
to talk to me in that way, and since you
say they are using money to pass the
bill | shall vote against it"
"All right" said Jimmy, "the other
side are using money, too, and / can
get you $500 from them"
Then the general was angry, and he
said: "If both sides are using money /
won't vote on the bill at all"
"That's better still, :" said Jimmy III
get you $1,000 for not voting either
way"
The general did not tell me how the
interview ended, but it appeared
to me that the only escape from the
dilemma was to resign and go home.
1t was evident that the generals vote
might have been sold to anybody sim
pie enough TO purchase it without his
knowing anything about the matter.

rary considers the conditions illiberal
and ungenerous He observes: @The
movement in Rio Grande, however,
must be distinguished from those of
Ceara and Amazonas, as it is far less
liberal and unselfsh in character.
Nearly all the Gberations are being
granted on conditions of time-service,
or apprenticeship which are in great
part for the period of five years. In view
of the circumstance that an able-bodied
slave will pay for himself every three
years, and of the strong probability
that the institution will be wiped out
considerably within that time, this con-
dition of five years service is bit of
cold, hard calculation, which neutralizes
every particle of generous sentiment in
the movement, Hard and
shrewd as are the conditions exacted by
the shareholders of Rio Grande, it is the
better policy, perhaps, to let them pass
without criticism. The one great result
attained is q fixed limit upon the dura-
ton of slavery in that province-a re-
suit which cannot be valued too highly
at this time"

On the night of the 22d, Geo. FL.
Fox assaulted and murdered John Hol-

Ill. Fox went up from his home in
Fielding, on visit to his aunt, whom
Holiday recently married. Both men

face and knocked him down; then
grabbing a chair he pounded I'd kicked
him i'll horrible manner. Wearying of
this, he ran out, got a club and contin-

was beaten to pulp. His face was all
battered and cut, his skull smashed in

quietly told his aunt he guessed he
would 60 to bed and retired in the
