Shot at CarnOt.

PARIS, July 13.-There was considerable
excitement to-day throughout Paris, caused
by report that President Carnot had
been shot. The rumor proved untrue, but
there was a foundation for it. The presi-
dent was present to-day at the ceremonies
of the official opening of new thorough
fare, where he received an enthusiastic vel
come. Suddenly man, wild-eyed and
making insane gestures, forced his way
through the crowd, rushed to the carriage
and fired pistol at Carnot shouting: "l'll
prove that there are moro bnstiles to be de-
molished.'' The man was promptly ar
rested, and such was the anger of the crowd
present that the officers had the greatest
difficulty in protecting the prisoner from
becoming the victim of popular fury. 1t
was soon learned that the prisoner was u
madman, and had just been released from
confinement In a lunatc asylum.

Soaking Pencils in Oil.

A new discovery has been made by rail-
road clerks in Pittsburg, regarding the
saving of lead pencils. This will be a great
boon to those who are continually using
expletiyes and borrowing pocket knives on
account of the frailty of good, soft lead in
a pencil. Everyone VINO has much rapid
writing, to perform prefers a soft pencil,
but nothing has come to public light SO far
by which the lead can to any extent be pre-
served. The p, G., G, q st. l.. clerks have
brought about a new era in the pencil bus
mess; also ave they morally benefited hu-
manity. inasmuch as they decrease viola
ton of the third commandment. The new
idea to preserve a soft pencil is to take a
gross of the useful articles and place them
in a jar of linaeed oil. Allow them to re-
main i'll soak until the oil thoroughly per-
meates every particle of the wood and lead.
This has the effect of softeninp the min.
eral. at the same time making it tough and
durable. 1t has bsen found very useful
and saving, an ordinary pencil being used
twice as long under the Pitts
burg Dispatch.

The Chicago police went too far in
suppressing the meeting of loud
mouthed anarchists for INDUCING ia in
cendiary talk the other night. The
crazy fools were not disturbing the
peace or creating a riot, and their yapid
talk hurt nobody. Several years ago a
lot of pestilent fellows of this sort called
a big meeting in New York during the
railroad riots, and timid citizens wanted
Mayor Ely to forbid the assembling.
He refused, and his wisdom was proved
by the outcome. A. monster meeting
was held with the police force within
ready call, and the orators winded them
selves with their intiammatory har-
angues. The police saw them safe home
and that was the last of them. Had
they been summary dispersed, they
would have continued to pose as mar
tyrs. As it was they were simply a lot
of collapsed wind bags; and that's all
the Chicago anarchists would be if left
alone.

will find it to his interest to give his entire

he is fond of the work, and the only reason
