George Barnes Assaulted.

Saturday night about II O'Clock
George Barnes, the well known ice
man, started for his home. When
he arrived at the back gate leading
to the house a man stepped out
from behind a large tree and struck
him on the head, knocking him
down. Mr.. Barnes arose, and as he
did so the man made a plunge at
him with a knife, cutting through
his coat and inflicting a slight
wound just below the left shoulder
pit. He then made his escape.

MONDAY, MARCH 5, 1894.
LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.

There is a growing sentiment
among the tax payers Of this city
and among all of her thinking
citizens, that the thing to be aimed
at is as cheap water and lights as
can be secured consistently with
the credit and good faith of the
city, rather than city ownership
and the direction of the works for
the supply of water and lights.
The experience of municipal cor
pOratiOnS is almost universally
against the fact of ownership as an
economical measure. In addition
to this is the danger of
the immense patronage that
thus comes into the hands Of
the administration being used for
personal ends and political push.
The history Of this city is not such
as to absOlve the thinking conserv-
alive men, who value the NUM-
cipal honor and have no sympathy
with jobs, from their fears in this
direction. These men do not look
without alarm upon the persistent
effort that is being made to force a
public action that will put into the
hands of the city government a
clean million dollars to duplicate
works for the supply of water and
light that are already in existence,
when the real interests OF
citizens can be just as we'll con.
served otherwise. Those who in
the past have entered into con-
tract with the city for the supply
of water and lights did so in good
faith, believing in the honesty anC
integrity OF the people, and thai
the contracts thus entered into
would be regarded in business
light as a business transaction

some ludicrous situations. A woman

The serpentine Dance of Old Nile.

A learned correspondent writes as
follows concerning the new dance:
Numerous young ladies and gentle
men are claiming the honor Of invent
ing or first introducing it. They forget
that it is only a development Of
Pharaoh's favorite bee dance, still to
be met with on the banks of the Nile.
1t was brought into prominence about
thirty-five years ago by Donate, the one
legged dancer at Covent Garden thea
ter. The dance wants figure and per-
sonal beauty first. and arms rather than
legs afterward. The exertion of work
ing the eighty yards of china silk into
graceful folds is about equal TO the
muscular exercise involved in per
Torrance with the Indian clubs. and the
foot dancing is necessarily confined to a
small space, for fear of ENHANCEMENT.
The serpentine dance would probably be
classed as Spanish"
My correspondent may be right enough
as to the date to which the dance goes
back. | am no Psychologist. But he
is in error as TO the date of Donate, the
one legged dancer, who must have ap
peared nearer five and twenty years age
than five and thirty. Time goes quickly
enough, to be sure, but, speaking from
memory, | should have said that Donate
was in a Covent Garden pantomime
somewhere well down the sixties. Lon
