LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,

appeals from Habeas Corpus.
In making up his report of the proceed
ings of the Board of City Trustees, Tues
day, upon the Chinese expulsion ordinance
for the RECORD L MON, the reporter did not
consider the question of appeal on habeas
corpus as important to the consideration of
the matter, ana therefore omitted part of
what City Attorney Anderson said upon
the night OF appeal in certain cases on
habeas corpus. As the omission has created
comment and caused some criticism. il is
but Just to publish the full text of what
Mr.. Anderson did say, which is as follows
There is no appeal to the Supreme Court
OF the United States on habeas corpus ex-
cept in a few cases that the violation of
the Constitution. or any law or treaty of
the United States, could not be reviewed in
the United States Supreme Court on habeas
corpus; that he had however, been in
formed that there were certain exceptions
to this rule"
Upon examination of the Federal Pro-
cedure III habeas corpus cases, it appears
that, under Section 7G4, appeals can only
be taken III cases as follows a. When
any person who being a subject or citizen
OF foreign State, and domiciled therein.
is committed or confined OF in custody by
or under the authority or law of the United
States, or of any State, or process founded
thereon, for or on account of any act done
or omitted under any alleged right, title,
authority, privilege, protection, or exemp-
ton, set up or claimed under the commits
sion, order or sanction of any foreign State
or sovereignty, the validity and effect
whereof depend upon the law Of nations. or
under color thereof Also, in certain cases
under the Restriction Act.
ONLY BOYS FUN.-Mrs. Childs, the lady
who had an experience with cigar-box
internal machine Tuesday morning, has
been somewhat astonished and ANNOYED at
the circulation that has been given the
matter She says that at the time she
opened the box and was greeted by an ex-
plosion within ii. she certainly was much
alarmed-so much so that she believed she
had been shot-and chung to the box, in
which a continued popping was going on,
with grim determination, keeping up with
the proprieties of the occasion by kicking
over the breakfast table and uttering ap-
proprlate CALCULATIONS. If she had not been
so astonished and frightened she would
probably have recognized the sound of fire
crackers, for in fact the box contained only
number of those explosives and some
paper saturated with coal oil, it being ar
ranged with spring in such a manner that
the opening of its cover would explode a
had been arranged by two youths as a Joke
upon her, peculiar dream which she had
had, concerning an explosion in the house
giving them their cue. The facts were
soon known in the house, but the internal
machine" version of the matter had got
upon the street, and the tale lost nothing
by being told so that in the end il was
made to appear like dastardlv attempt at
murder. Chief jackson and officer Farren.
in order to find out what there was in the
matter, started upon a vigorous investiga-
ton yesterday afternoon, but soon learned
that there was no occasion for official in
reference.

many years. He was a sensible animal.
watched the street crossing, and would halt
for the taking on of passenger, whether
the driver noted the latter or not He be-
came familiarity acquainted with some of
the regular passengers of the road, and
knowing their place of residence he would
stop TO let them off without being checked
by the driver. If he observed passenger
running TO catch the car, he would slow up
and stop at the proper place, with much
precision, without being told, and appar-
emily was as much interested in securing
passengers as was the most faithful EN-
ploye on the road. But Keno's DAYS of
labor are over. \ few days ago he fell par
alyzed in the harness, and now is tenderly
cared for at the railroad stables.
