Assaulter at Houston.
Special to the Gazette.
Houston, Ten, Dec. 17.-Frank
Snyder, the fiend who made the vicious
attack on Mr.. and Mrs. Pfueger on Sat-
urday night, is behind the bars of the
county jail. Both his victims are in a
critical condition, and it is hardly proba-
bic that Mr.. Pfiueger viii recover. Mr..
Ptueger is suffering excruciating agony
from the bites inflicted by his
assailant. The attending physician says
that every time the negro bit he cut out
piece of the cloth as clean as if cut with
pair of scissors. There is Il great deal
of indignation openly expressed by citi-
zcns OF all naGionalities and both colors,
and the expression, "He ought to
hang!' was heard on all sides.

The b. end o.

In the midst of so many conflicting ru-
mors concerning the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad it is impossible to get at the
motive that is behind the changes that are
manIfestly impending. The gentlemen
intimately connected with the manage
ment of the company are, for prudential
reasons, disposed TO. be retieent upon the
subject and little can be; learned that is
likely to be entirely satisfactory to the
public.
1t appears to be settled beyond question

TEIARKANA, TEX, Dec. THE case

Beidler, came before the circuit court
to-day. Owing to ilI-heath of the at

of the deceased. O. c. Porter of Texar-
kama, and Colonel NJ. L. Jones Of Pine

of venue will occur and the case will not
be tried here owing to strong feeling
against the prisoner.

Presidential Nomination that Causes Much

SURPRISE Among POIItIcians
INDLNAPOLIS, IND, Dec. 17.-Rks
news of the nomination of Assistant
United States District Attorney George
F. Bailey to succeed District Attorney
Sellers, who resigned, occasioned con-
siderable surprise this afternoon and
evening, and the nomination was the sub
ject Of discussion in the Hobbies and
among politicians everywhere. The Re
publicans claim, without hesitation, that
MI Bailey nomination is obnoxious to
General Harrison and his friends because
of the course he pursued during the cam
paign in speaking personally and, accord
ing to Senator Mcdonald, enormously of
General Harrison. The prediction is
freely made that the nomination will not
be confirmed.

An Innocent Boy Confesses.

The Fort Worth Gazette reports {
recent case from Queen City, Texas
which ought to be warning to those
who are inclined to take the law into
their own hands and enforce confes
sion of guilt by torture. 1t proves
that every one who confesses to crime
at the end of q rope or muzzle of q
gun is not guilty. A young lady
visiting in family there where there
are several young gentlemen, had
fine diamond ring belonging to hel
mother. She loaned this ring to one
of the young gentlemen. One morn
ing recently when this young gentle
man went to bathe his'face and hands
he laid the ring on the wash-stand
and forgot it. He did not miss it
till some hours afterward, but on
going to the wash,stand for it he
failed to find it. The ring being
very valuable, immediate search was
instituted, but it conld not be found.
Billy Coon, q negro boy about ten
years old, having been in the house
that morning, was suspected. He
was found and accused of the d. eft,
which he denied. He was taken to q
gin house, rope placed round his
neck, the other end of which was
thrown over joist, A gun was then
produced, and he was told TO tell
what he knew or be hanged or shot.
He was terribly frightened. He con-
fessed to stealing the ring, and told
that he had buried it in the ground
in the yard of his grandmother. He
was released and guided the party to
his grandmother's yard, but failed to
find where he had buried the ring.
Nothing more could be done, as
there was no desire to injure the boy.
He was told that he must find the
ling or 60 to Jail. That night when
the young folks were gathered in the
parlor the subject was mentioned,
when one of the young gentlemen
who had been absent all day began
looking in his pockets and produced
the ring. He happened to be the
next to prepare for breakfast to the
man who left the ring. and put it in
his pocket and forgot il, and--leaving
Immediately after breakfast-knew
nothing OF the matter till the subject
was broached in the parlor, when he

The Secret or.Independencc.
Youths Companion.

A volume Of annals OF old Philadel-
phia contains an anecdote Of Frank
lin which will, we think, be new to
our readers.
A few days after he had began to
publish newspaper he commented
on the dishonest conduct of certain
influential and wealthy town officials.
Three or four OF his friends, young
mechanics like himself, anxious to
rise in the world, sharply reproved
him for his imprudence, and told him
that poor man could not afford to
thus make enemies.
Franklin listened in silence and pa
tience, and when the lecture was
over, asked his critics to sup with
him. They came and sat down ex-
pecting a luxurious meal, such as
was common in those days among
the well-to-do. Before each guest
however, was bowl OF mush and
milk and a pitcher Of water. They
tried in vain to swallow the coarse
fare, watching Franklin as he emp
tied his bowl with evident relish.
When he had ended he said.
"That is my usual supper. I have
mn advantage over you, as you see;
for when man can live on a diet
like this, he needs no patronage.

An Ancient Tyranny.

The senseless superstition about
"unlucky Friday showed its weird
visage at the Chicago convention. We
cannot see that it had much infus
ence upon the action of the conven-
tion, but enough was said .abont it to
show that this ghost Of ancient fear
is not yet laid away. Even the fact
that George Washington was born on
Friday, and that Columbus started
for the Western Hemisphere on Fri
day, and that he discovered land on
Friday, and that Luther and Glad
stone were born on Friday, and q
thousand more facts OF similar inter-
est, do not avail to set us free from
the bondage. of this ancient tyranny
of senseless dread. Is it not strange?
There are probably five millions Of
people in America, young and old,
who wear amulets. Such ghostly
nonsense ought to die in American
soil. bnt it does not Western Chris
