nlns,rtous ParalleI.

The experience of Gen. Beaver IN
Washington the other DAY was certainly
ouite melancholy. The General, who
was the Grand Marshal of the Inaugural
procession, had offended Capt. Armes,
without knowing it, and that individual
revenged himself in the office OF the
Riggs House by pulling the Generals
nose. Gov. Beaver had leg shot Oft In
the war, and was at disadvantage, but
he ia said to have used his crutches to
pretty good purpose. The incident has
not been without parallel in American
history. No less a man that Gen.
Andrew jackson, "Old Hickory" himself
he of "by the Eternal" fame, and
killer from way back-had to submit to
the indignity of having his nose pulled
by Lieutenant Randolph, whom he had
dismissed from the Navy. The story Is
told by Parton, in his life OF jackson,
Old Hickory had started out on a trip
through Virginia, and, while journeylng
on the canal, he was sitting in the cabin,
confined there by severe spasm
of rheumatism, while his attendants
were on deck enjoying the air and seem
cry. A tall gentleman entered the apart
ment and asked its only occupant If he
was General Jackson. 'I am sir" re-
piled the old hero, 81 trust you will ex-
cuse me. My infrmities prevent me
from rising" Randolph, instead OF
chivalric Difference to Old Hickery's all
ments, reached over and took the Presi-
dents nose between his thumb and fore
finger and gave it a vigorous tweak,
leaving Immediately thereafter. Surprise
and rage held Old Hickory spell-bound
for moment; when, gathering
all his strength, with that opulence
Of Anglo-Saxon objurgation which
was one of his peculiarities
when excited, he followed Randolph
to the deck of the canal boat, only to see
him leap lightly on to the towpath.
Shaking his crutch after Randolph's re-
treating form, it was some time before
the Presidents attendants gathered any
idea of the indignity to which he had
been subjected, and when they did there
was an unanimous declaration that Ran
dolph must be pursued and killed. This
was not at all to the old hero's humor
He sternly forbade pursuit; and with the
growl, "By the Eternal, l fight my own
battles" he hobbled back to the small
cabin, probably for the time being the
most disgusted man that ever occupied
the Presidential chair.

A Miilionaire,s VIII Contested.

New BRUNSWICK, N. j., March 49,
To-day, in The Orphans Court OF Middle
sex county, the contest against the will
of the late millionaire rubber manufac-
turer, Christopher Meyer, came up.
The contestants, who appeal from de-
cision of the Surrogate in admitting the
will to probate, are Mrs. Efie Meyer, of
New York, widow of the deceased; Mrs,
Mollie Regensberger. Of San Francisco,
granddaughter of deceased by his son
William, deceased, whose legitimacy is
questioned, and the guardians OF Howard
Meyer, an insane son of the testator, re-
siding in Newark. These parties are
making a great effort to break the will,
and appeared in court to-day with four
teen lawyers, with Ex-Governor Leo r.
Abbott for the widow at the head OF the
list. The will is defended by the execu-
tors, and the struggle promises to be a
bitter one.

Those mexicnn Policemen.

Ell PAso, Tex, March 29.-There was
a fight between four Americans and two
policemen at Paso del Norte last night.
Owing to the intense excitement on the
other side, reporters deemed it unsafe to
go over to investigate, and obtained the
information from Mexican officials who
came over to this side to-day. The ex.
element quieted down somewhat when
it was discovered that neither of the
wounded policemen were dead, but one
of them cannot live. The one reported
dead fell in an acegu0ia, when shot, and
dislocated his right shoulder. Mexican
soldiers followed the Americans to the
river and shot at them as they were
climbing out and were on the American
side.
United States Consul Mackey, at Paso
del Norte says that he cannot take any
steps looking to the arrest of the Ameri-
cans, as they escaped to this side.

ence to the streets, but with reference to
all other provisions. The language of
the Court upon this point is very en-
phatic, and we quote it at length
''It is argued that, according to the
views herein expressed, city may have
its Charter totally changed without its
consent. This is proper deduction from
the ruling herein; but this cannot be
done by special or local law applicable
alone to particular Charter. The result
can only be reached by a general law
affecting all municipal corporations.
Whatever the danger may be from such
legislation, the Constitution is so written
Gs to allow it."
However desirable, therefore, it may
be to the members OF the city govern
ment, or to the citizens at large, that the
new Charter shall be carried into effect,
it is obvious that we are acting without
our hopes when we undertake to assume
that its, validity will be sustained.
The general disposition to adopt this
course would seem to justify with refer
ence TO us the somewhat plain language
Of the title we have placed over this
article, namely, that we are living in q
Fools Paradise" and when we come
to reap the immense crop of litigation
which will doubtless spring up, and per.
haps find that all the acts of our new
corporation are void, we will have reason
TO regret that we did not bring the ques-
ton up for decision at an earlier date.

THERE is no question but that great
deal of serious consideration is being
given in the proposed new county OF
Orange to the financial problems. The
HERALD from the beginning has stated
the difficulties correctly. This journal is
inspired by no desire to proselytize, and
accords to the inhabitants of the south
ern portion of the county every privilege
inherent in citizenship, but we have the
right to state facts, and we shall exercise
it with a supreme contempt of those
who, living where they may, seek to
abridge it. The creation of the new
county will lessen instead of increasing
the advantages of that section as place
for the investment of capital.

A Unique Spectacle.

The most extraordinary spectacle ever
witnessed in this or any other country
will be presented on the I'd OF April
next, at II O'Clock meridian, along the
boundary line of the new Territory OF
Oklahoma. At that hour the Territory
will be opened to settlement, and there
will be such a rush to secure land as will
throw the great Kansas migration before
the civil war into the shade. Over one
hundred thousand people, with their
cattle and their household goods,
will be stationed all along the
boundary line ready to cross it when
the hour of noon strikes. Then will come
the rush and contest to reach the most
desirable points. If, in the meantime,
the intending settlers themselves have
not effected some organization that will
maintain order and regulation in the
selection of claims, there will be con-
fusion and jarring and perhaps fatal col
lisions. From the fact that new parties
as they come in are listing their names
III q lOl lIudl AholhCiJ ~ WOUA0 oCOhA 0uaV
some sort of organization has been ef-
fected among the intending settlers. They
are doubtless provided with maps of the
new Territory, and many of them are
perhaps we'll acquainted with the char
acter of the country; and it is possible
that, with the proverbial tact of Ameri-
cans in organization, they have districted
the territory and formed themselves into
different bodies to move upon their re-
spective selections when the time is up.
IT this has been done we may be called
upon to record the astonishing fact that
one hundred thousand people have
taken up land claims at once in a
new territory, and all settled down
to enjoy their possessions, with the least
possible confusion and perhaps without
any serious collision. Should it be our
good fortune to be able to announce this
as fact at the close of next week, it will
rebound to the credit of the American
character and present to the world g
unique lesson in self-government.

TerribIe scene az a EEanaing.

DANyILLE, Va, March 29.-Jud
Pritchett, who outraged small white
girl near this place in June last, was
hanged at Chatham to-day. He was a
stout, strong negro, about 80 years old,
and when the officers attempted to spring
the trap on him he fought like a tiger.
Four deputies were called on to assist in
the awful deed. The prisoner fell down
and lay PROSTATE on the scaffold, cling
ing to the framework. The trap was fin
ally sprung, and by main force the dep
uties pushed him off the scaffold, after
the rope had been tied about his neck.
The struggles of the condemned man
lasted fully eleven minutes.

WILLIAM EwART GLADSTONE paid a
graceful tribute to John Bright in the
House of Commons yesterday. Consid-
ering their long enlargement it was a
generous and noble eulogy. 1t will be
remembered that he performed the same
gracious office to Disraeli on similar
occasion. 1t is perhaps doubtful whether
either Beaconsfeld or Bright would have
been equally magnanimous under corre-
lative circumstances. While Gladstone's
remarks are highly appreciative OF the
worth and weight of his old time friend
they might have taken warmer tone if
Bright had continued to support the
Liberal policy.

THE robbery of the First National Bank

THE robbery of the First National Bank
at Denver yesterday possesses features Of
special dramatic interest. 1t would seem
improbable that in broad daylight such a
scene could happen in bank crowded
with clerks. The bank President oper-
ated upon was wise in his day and gen.
Grafton, making no attempt at resistance,
having wholesome fear of nitro.glycer-
inc. The San Bernardino banker, who
was experimental upon some months

lost his life. Taking banking and rail
way experiences together, it would seem
as if the spirits of Dick Turpin and

Having had corner in wheat, which
nearly bankrupted everybody who had
anything to do with it, the attempt to
create corner in beef, it is to be
hoped, will fail signally. There is no
chance of wrecking the beef ring fnan-

records of the Legislature have been
tampered with, can be resisted and de-
feated. The Angeleno will not willingly

The City ought TO Profit by IT.
Funds.

Funds.
Mayor Hazard has very properly called
attention to that portion of the new CITY
Charter which provides for placing out
the city funds at interest to approved
bidders. The Mayor is of opinion that
the municipal treasury ought to profit by
this provision, and so is the HERALD.
We are informed, by those well versed in
such matters, that the city ought to derive
a yearly revenue ranging from $4,000
to $25, COO on its ordinary balances, and
that perfectly competent bidders stand
here now ready to assure a revenue rang
ing between those figures for this
money. The Mayor recommends it, and
the Charter provides for it. Why is it
not done? An advertisement, calling
for proposals for this money, should
already have been published by the order
of the Council, and there is some in
quiry as to why this was not done. The
revenue from the city funds will not
amount to a great deal, but it will help
out very materially in defraying the
quite onerous charges of the city govern
ment.
1t is TO be regretted that there is not a
Bimilar provision of law with respect to
the county funds. 1t would have aided
to some slight extent in diminishing the
burden of taxation. But where the law
is explicit its terms ought to be re-
spected.
