GOVERNOR BEAVER ATTACKED.-An at
tack WAS made on Governor Beaver yester-
day afternoon in the lobby OF the Riggs
House, Washington, by Major George A.
Armes. Armes entered the lobby at the
Riggs House just SIS Governor Beaver was
starting for bis room, after parting from
Gen. Felix Angus, with whom he had spent
the afternoon at the Pension Bureau. Armes
accosted Governor Beaver and demanded
an apology for the supposed insult of the
4th of March. Then, without waiting for
an answer, he caught the Governor by the
nose and gave it severe tweak. Governor
Beaver, who has but one Leg seized his
| orutch by the middle and aimed blow at
Mai. Armes' head, which he Major lodged
when he was eeized by police officer and
elected from The hotel. Gov. Beaver was un-
hurt. The cause of the trouble was that

stated, considered himself an aide 10 Gen.
eral Beaver on the occasion of the parade,
and would persist in taking part against the
orders of those in charge Of the inaugura'
ton. Two of General Beavers aides, by
his direction, elected Armes from the par.
ade. He afterwards preferred charges oi
disorderly conduct against these officers al
the War Department, but no attention was
ever paid to them. His anger then turned
toward General Beaver, and caused him to
attack the General yesterday.

THE HINDoo MAGICIAN N-Keiler, the
prestidgitateur. speaking OF be famous
Hin1oo magioians to reporter cf Tho Buffa-
10 Express, said "a trick which puzzled me
for long time was making a pineapple
grow under handkerchief. The juggler
lays handkerchief fiat on the ground and
then begins to sing and beat on the TOM
tom, when in the center of the haudk #
something begins to stir and rise in pyia-
midal form, dilating until just about the size
OF pineapple, when the coniurer inserts his
hand under the handkerchief and prSls out
q ripe pineapple. / watched his trick sev.
eral times before I could get clew to it..
The motion of life puzzled NE. But one
day took position on the Eide-the con-
urers sit on one side of circle, making the
spectators form the rect OF the circum fer
ence-where 1 could see the juggler's no.
ton moro clearly, and noticed that one
of the confederates put bag, like q
sailors bag, near the coriurer's hands.
He sat there tailor fashion, and as he
spread out his handkerchief on the
ground saw his hand make g trip swift as
lightning TO the bag and back under the
handkerchief, and I thought | saw some
thing like the tail Of O snake accompany it.
That gave me an idea, and afterward, by
pretending to understand the trick, and by
paying one of the Hiudoos four rupees,
got him to confess how the trick was done.
1.-THE conjurer does take snake from the
bag placed conveniently at his elbow. When
the cobra ia put under the handkerchief, be
naturally coils himself up. Then the con-
jurers begin their music and the cobra raises
his head, aud this gives the lifting motion
to the handkerchief One Of the first things
cobra does when excited is to swell out
his neck and this makes the pyramidal
shape When the juggler puts HE hand un-
der the handkerchief he takes with it bol.
lowed pineapple and removes the cobra in
side of It, concealed by bis hand. That is
one of the cleverists tricks cav iu India"

On Linden when the court convened,
The rosy ray of gladness seemed,
And exultation from him cleaned
The presage of his victory.
But Linden saw another sight
When from oppression's cloud Of night
Justice emerged in garb of white
Repeating her famed history.
Then rushed from out the temple driven :
The bolted wrong so grandly riyen,
Az from the highest arch of heaven
The angel came transcendenty.
Few, few were those who did not greet
Errors fall at Justices feet,
AS retribution good and meet
For all its bold efrontery.

tended to deprive the saloon of its
attractiveness for young men and
to make it merely place for the
purchase and sale of liquor by
the glass. 1t is supported by a
strong moral sentiment and the
only objection urged against it not
based on selfish grounds is that it
abridges personal liberty. The
second named bill was passed for
the benefit of the agricultural class.
It contemplates thorough grain
inspection, similar to that which is
assured in Illinois, and the ap-
pointment of the inspectors is
lodged in the Beard of Railroad
Commissioners, and there are al
ready numerous applicants for the
places to be created by it. Delega-
tions from st. Louis and Kansas
City were anxious to get a hearing
on the bill, and were prepared to
demolish it in the eyes of the Gov
ernor. But, as one of the best
known grain dealers in the State
said, when asked to appear before
the Executive and make an argu-
ment against the approval of the
bill, "I don't know that there is
anybody who can give Gov. Francis
any information on the grain ques-
tion."

Carrollton has been a liberal con-

has scored a miss. tits safe to say
that not 81 out Of $50 which left

can be best understood by reading

half, the lottery can well afford to
assume the debt, which the mis-.

When Frank Stockton wrote
"The Great War Syndicate about
a company ofcapitalists who would
carry on war for any country for .
consideration, it was thought to be
wild flight of fancy. But here is
a company formed in Illinois for
the purpose of conducting execu-
tions, which will employ compe-
tent executioners, work off criminals
in any part of the United States,
furnish shrouds, collins, etc., and
hang or electrify, according to the
wishes of its customers. Many a
stock company has been started fer
less laudable purposes. There
would be none of the horrible
butcheries which now aud then
disgrace our civilization If this cor

s5O, 900 for injuries he sustained by
being run over by train of that

that on the night OF June 20, by

sound the whistle and ring the bell
as the engine approached the

train was running at dangerous
rate of speed, he was run over and
MANNED for Life. Hence he sues fol

things, and had a sprinkling Of
pleasantries. He said perhaps it
was the first time some of the dele
gates had been in our midst, and
since they were here in sound body
and mind, the pleasure was double.
In return for the Full q Dton welcome
extended by Rev. Rogers, the con-

learning, but place fully abreast
with the times, and from assoeiat-

more than bread and butter. Mr..
Basket dwelt Oh the great work
for which the convention had met
to advance. And in his remarks
compared what the Legislature had
done for the Sunday School with
what the School was doing for the
State. The duty of our people is to
recognize God as the Supreme Ruler

States had decided that the Bible
could be used in public schools as
