the causes all good citizens must, and do
| regret the taking of human life with
out warrant of law. The details of th e
incidents of this alleged homicide and its
causes and antecedents are matters of pub
| lie notoriety They are discussed in the
| daily press and they largely occupy the
public mind at home and abroad. On Fri.
| day last he trial of large number of per
| sons charged with the murder of Chief
Hennessy, which had occupied the court for
| some twenty-five days, terminated in a
verdict OF not guilty as to all but three of
those on trial and mistrial as to hese three.
| his result was received with evident dis
satisfaction by those who had watched
the proceedings from day to day
and it was charged publicly
that some jurors and witnesses had been
flu need.
Pursuant to call made by many cti
zens published in the daily papers of Sat
ur !ay morning, large number of persons
assembled on Canal street and proceeded
to the parish prison. Entrance was effected
by force. Nine of the persons implicated
in the killing of Hennessy were shot and
two of them, with respect to whom there
had been a mistrial were hung, and the
crowd thai surrounded the prison quietly
dispersed.
Matters of such gravity cannot be ignored
by courts VI grand iuries. | am compelled
by my duty as a judge to bring them to
your notice and | feel assured that they
will receive at your hands proper attention
and the calm, careful investigation which
they challenge.
As | heretofore charged you the district
attorney is your legal adviser and ou will
of course consult with him concerning this
and all other matters which NAV engage
your attention. 1t is not my purpose now
o do more than give this matter in charge
to you and do so with
every confidence that there will be no
hasty or i'll considered actionon your part
and that the result of your Investigations
and deliberation will be in accordance with
your appreciation and estimate of the facts
as they may come to your knowledge.
The sheriff will present probably during
theday the official report of the occurrence
of Saturday
shall give you such further instructions
from time to time as | may deem neces-
sary.

A sHREWD LOTTERY SCHEME.

The Louisiana Lottery Plants Branch in
Mexico at Juarez.
CHICAGO, Ill.,, March 17.-Postottice In
spector Fetz has discovered, as a result OF
several months investigation, that the
Louisiana Lottery has succeeded in evad-
ing the anti-lottery law by establishing a
branch office under the name ofth Mexi-
can International Booking company at
Cuidad Juarez, Mexico, under the patron
age of Gen. John Mosley. 1t is flooding
The large cities of this country with its cir
cul-rs openly, and the postal authorities
are powerless to prevent it, because they
have no authority to tanner with mail
f,om foreign country, even if they know
II contains lottery matter.
Capt. Ftz has the names of agents OF the
concerns in most of the large cities, and
the postoffice department will prosecute
them, but it is not thought that this will
affect business to any considerable extent,
as the lottery compal v has lists of names
and the addresses of nearly all who play
lottery.

Break In the Levees.

NEW ORLEANS, March ia break in the
levee occurred last night seven miles
above the city on the right bank of the
Mississippi seventy feet wide and fifteen
feet deep, caused by the washing out OF an
iron pipe for irrigating rice, inserted in the
levee. The Texas and Pacific track is en-
tirely submerged and the water is up TO
the ties on the Southern Pacific. The peo
pie in the submerged district had to
abandon their houses, which are rapidly
filling with water. Railway travel to Texas
will probably be suspended The creyasse

PRESIDENT HARRISON INTERVIEWED
What He Has to Say Concerning the McKin.
ley Bill and Other Things.


New YORK, March 1.-THE Tribune's
Washington correspondent had CONVEX
sation with President Harrison wherein
The latter said with respect to the work Of
the Fifty-firs congress: "In many ways
it has been a most remarkable congress.
Its work has been done in the face of tre-
mendous criticism and the legislation
evolved has been the outgrowth of fierce
contentious. The result is one that will
stand well in history and one which the
country will approve. The principle of
the majority rule has also been asserted in
marked degree and adherence to that rule
is in my judgment the one principle which
will preserve the institutions OF our coun-
try" -,
Speaking on the tariff issue the president
said Most decidedly | think there should
be no more agitation on this subject until
he Mckinley bill has been finally tried. Ii
has been charged with numerous faults.
There is no reason why its workings should
be- p-ejudiced by malevolent partisans. The
bill has already been long enough in opera
ZION to indicate that much that was antici
patpd against it is untrue. A period should
be permitted to pass enough 10 test fairly
the character of the measure. Then if it
can be shown by such fair and impartial
trial that it has faults, let them be elimin-

Great Snakes.

George w. Eaton, living in Torring-
ford, Conn. went 10 TorriDgion on
Saturday with the most wonderful
snake story told In Connecticut this
season. Mr.. Eaton Is n large raiser Of
sh, ep and poultry aud for years has
made good deal OF mony at 1t. For
two years his profits have been mater
tally reduced by the mysterious disap
pearance ofinany lambs and chickens.
For some time his men have told stor.
les OF a monster black snake they have
seen in the fields, but Mr.. Eaton
laughed at them. One day last week,
when one OF the men came In with
the same old story, Mr.. Eaton thought
he would investigate the matter aud
settle the mems fears. While going
through a pasture near an old barn,
under which his sheep had been nc
customed to seek shelter from storms,
he heard the bIeating OF lamb. Ian
terms were sent for and Mr.. Eaton
crawled under the floor TO find the
lamb. He backed out at once with
his hair standing straight up. He
sent for his men, aud ordered them to
arm themselves with pitchforks, shoy-
els, axes, clubs, or anything with
which TO fight, and then he told them
to tear up the floor OF the barn at
corner where the planks were close
To the ground. The floor was removed
and there was revealed a hole about
ten feet square. In II was n snakes
nest that accounted for the disap-
pearance OF his lambs. The men set
10 work after Mr.. Eaton had fired
both barrels OF his shotgun into the
nest. and in ten minutes the work Of
determination was ended. Thirty-one
reptiles, all OF the black species, were
counted. Two were monsters. One
measured II feet 0 inches In length
and 10 inches around. Its mate stretch
ed out TO 10 feet 8 inches and was
13t inches around. The others were
from s feet to feet In length. The
biggest OF the lot had just swallowed
the lamb which Mr. Eaton bad heard

DIR. Jacob has made this u special
study from the standpoint OF physiol-
ogy. His conclusion is that, as rule,
a child should not be sent TO school
before he is eight years old. Not till
this age is the brain substance devel-
oped. An infants brain Is soft, Ii
contains large percentage OF water.
Ii is deficient in fat and phosphor-
ous. on which, to u large extent, in
tellectual activity depends. The con
volutions are fewer.
The different parts OF the brain do
not grow in size and weight alike
the normal portions not being reached
before the age OF ten years. SO, too,
the proportion OF the chest To the
lower portions of the body is not at
tained until the sth year, while that
part OF the back (the lumbar on
which the sitting posture depends Is
even then only moderately developed.
About the 5th and 9th years the
base OF the brain grows rapidly, the
frontal bones extend forward and up
ward, and the anterior portion grows
considerably. Still the white sub
stauce-the grey is the basis OF the in
telligence-a the large ganglia pre-
dominate.
Ii is not till about the eight year
that the due proportion OF parts Is
reached, and certain consolidation,
both of the brain and the organs OF
the body generally. Before this pc
rlod memory alone can be safely
trained. Froebel, the founder OF the
kindergarten system, reached the
same result, by observation.
with increasing years the grey
substance becoming more and more
developed, their thinking powers are
gradually evolved. The secret OF n
thorough education lies Ia the uniform
development of all powers. To devel-
op one at the expense OF another II to
cripple all. y

Monsters Of the Deep.

Glocester Mass fishermen return
ing from the far-off Flemish cape fish
ing thank Friday tell Of mammoth
sea serpent and strange marine mon
ster seen on the banks this season. A
sea serpent over eighty feet In length.
resembling q giant squid, was obsery-
ed one morning while the crews were
engaged in hauling their travis. He
was also seen by the men aboard the
vessels. He made q noise similar TO
the rumbling OF a train OF cars, and
plowed the water before him like
big ocean steamer. Two enormous
horns projected from his head, and he
IL described as OF an uncoutb appear
snce. The monster made but one ap-
pearance, and was evidently bound
North.
The schooner J. II. Carey and other
sehooners report that huge shovel
nose shark, estimated to be over for
ty feet In length, perpetually haunted
the dories OF the fishermen while haul
ing their travis. This circumstance
gave the fishermen much uEeasiness
because their frail duries are constant
ly In danger Of eapsizing, and an acci-
dent OF this kind meant death. The
shark appeared on the Flemish cape
during July and remaipsd until the
departure Of the fleet The fishermen
state that they have never observed
so largea number of huge fish OF prey
on the Flemish cape before, and at
tribute this to the fact that these fish
have followed the Gulf Stream further
northward than usual this season

Phineas had read that at a certain
athletic exhibition recently given in
Wayne, Mr.. Timothy Dick had carried
off all OF the honers, and that he had
won the victory in a hotly contested
boat race.
Itwas not long before the boys came
TO admire and respect Mr.. Dick for

superior muscular powers. His COM
ing TO Rose Lane marked the begin
ming OF IA new and vastly better epoch

IF WE COULD KNOW.

WHITTIER do our footsteps tend?
More and more we yearp to know,
AS life's shadows longer grow,
And the evening hours descend,
And before us lies the end.
When the door shall open wide.
And behind US softly close,
What to our expectant eyes
VIII the future life disclose?
Shall we see morning break,
Fair and fragrant and serene,
Seeming like the blessed dream
OF some unforgOtten eve?
Shall we walk in gladness on,
Under smiling skies of blue,
Through an ever deepening dawn,
Into wide fields, fresh and new,
Meeting those who came before.
Knowing each familiar look
And each well rememb bered tone,
Though so many years have flown,
Since each others hands we took,
Saying farewells o'erand Ger?
Shall we talk OF earthly days,
Speaking low, with bated breath,
OF the awful mystery
OF our human life and death?
Shall we wonder TO recall,
How our hearts were prone TO fear,
How we scarcely dared 10 hope
In any heaven, so fair, so near?
All! If we could only know,
AS the shadows deeper grow,
Whittier our swift footsteps tend
AS they surely near the end!
