The Anarchists Trial.

CHICAGO. July 30 The afternoon
proceedings began with the testimony of
Bluthard, county physician. His testi-
mony was interesting, inasmuch as it re-
lated to the death of began. whose muir
der at the haymarket is one of the charges
upon which the prisoners are being tried.
Ills observations were made at the post
mortem examination of Degan's body,
held May s.. Witness described a dozen
Of the wounds, the one which occasioned
death being in the left thigh. 1t was
caused by a piece Of lead which severed
the iemoral artery, and tore apart the
muscles of the thigh. Witness identified
an irregularly s%harpened piece of metal,
more than inch square by a quarter of an
inch thick which was submitted in evil
dence as the missile taken from the
wound. Nine other wounds. which the
witness characterized as explosive marks"
were found on the legs, besides other
marks on the face and body.

House Proceedings.

WASHINGTON July 30.-In compliance
with the arrangement made yesterday, the
house resumed consideration of the vetoed
pension bills, the first being that granting
$50 a month to the widow of Gen. David
X Hunter. In advocating the passage
Of the bill over the presidents veto. Mr..
Butterworth, of Ohio. cited various pre-
cedents where widows of general officers
were granted $50 a month, and he pro
tested against the house making fish OF
one and flesh of another. The trouble in
thus case, he thought, was that Gen.
Hunter had presided at the Fitz John
Porter court martial. If it were not for
that the president would have signed the
bill. The house refused to pass the bill

appointed. The tree grows to a good
height. Tho leaves, heart-shape, are
thick and about the color of the under
part of a silver maple leaf, except that
they are very rough, which prevents
them from glistening like the maple.
The thick, wax-like, bell-shaped red
blossom grows mouth upward, and in
side is the so-called hand. 1t has five
fingers and one thumb, but looks ex-
actly like a birds claw, and o like a
hand. The story ran that there are but

than a dozen, if that many, in the world;

Arthur's Bran Weakening.

New YORK, July 3O-Eli Perkins
writes rather gloomily OF the condition of
ex President Arthur, now at New Lon
don. He says President Arthur's brain is
weakening like John McCullough's, Chas.
Francis Adams and Barley Campbell's
In a recent conversation, though. he said:
Il think it shows that we are j strong gov
eminent by a strong people when New
York can punish its own boycotters,
when Chicago car punish its anarchists,
when Mississippi can(arrest its own ku-
klux and when Missouri can arrest and
punish its knightly train wreckers." The
physician who has examined President
Arthur's disease says he has Bright's dis
ease and indigestion, which has killed so
many bon vivants and which nearly killed
Gen. Schcnck. and which has lust killed

A correspondent of The Bee Journal
writes that a brood of chickens were in
the habit of frequenting the shed in
which he kept his bees. The bees stung
all the d~ark-colored nes to death, yet
did not modest the light-colored chicks.
Why the preference? The editor writes
that he has frequently spoken of the ad-
vantage of wearing light clothes among
the bees. W. wear black bee wells be,
cause we cannot see clearly through any
color. Woolly, fuzzy and dark materials
are objected to by bees. A man with a
plug hat on rarely gets stung, unless by
a bee that in trying to shoot the hat'
aims TOO low and hits the face by mis-
take, while a companion at a suitable
distance is perfectly safe .-Lowiston Q1e.)

Bad Outlook for Cutt1ng.

Ell PAso, Jexas, July 30.-The trial Of
Cutting IS now In progress at Paso del
Norte. 1t consists merely Of a Joint ex-
animation by the prosecuting attorney and
judge Of the papers in the case. 1t is ex
pected that a decision will be rendered to
night, as the three days allotted for the
trial expires to morrow. 1t seems that
the length of the trial, if not the decision,
is determined before the trial begins. 1t
seems to be the expectation among Mexi-
can lawyers that Cutting will be sentenced
to one or two years Imprisonment and
taken at once TO the penitentiary at Chi
huahua. Medina also is having his trial
this evening for raising a rumpus a few
nights back. The Cutting case has
brought ont the hitherto unknown fact
that the doctrine of states rights is car
ried to the extreme limits in Mexico. The
state authorities at Chihuahua will brook
no interference from the federal admins
tration or even from President Diaz. per
%sonally. They will not even listen to
friendly suggestions. As matters now
stand Cutting is certain to be sentenced to
a long term of imprisonment and he will
be carried to chihuahua to serve out the
term. The people of the border along the
Rio Grande are disguised with the apathy
and wan of national feeling on the part of
the Washington administration.

during aurora, and, in this case, when
and in what manner Up to Sept. IS,
he had received answers to these queries
from 14t persons. OF these, not less than
90, or Ga per cent, believe in the exist
ence of the aurora sound, and 53 1876 per
cent state that they have heard it them
selves, while the other 80 cite testimonials
from other people; only 81 Q5 per cent?
declare that they have never heard the
sound and know nothing about it, and
the other 81 C22 per cent? have not
noticed the query at all. There are thus
90 afiirmations against 81 ne%gations.
