The Amusement of n Tame Eagle In the

In ST. Nicholas Wolcott Le Clear

engaged in engineering in southern Ari.
zona. Mr., Beard says he was very
fond Of the lizards with which these
plains abounded, and one large variety,
called swifts, from their remarkable
speed in running, seemed to be especial
ly coveted.
Whenever one Of these was caught
which was not often, Moses would be
brought cut, and. after the swift had
taken ten foot start, would be set free
The lizard would promptly resolve itself
into white streak across the desert,
and, screaming with excitement, half
running, half flying, Moses would pur.
sue, followed by the laughing crowd, of
which only those Gil horseback had
much chance Of keeping up, 1t was in
no sense u cruel sport 1t amused Moses

Why Consulates Are Popular.

It Is we'll known that the pressure for
consulates is greater than for any other
class of offices. Various causes contrib
ute to this desire to go abroad. Repre-
sentative Hit thinks he has the true
theory. ut is tho women folks" he
says. "You know how it is Brown or
Jones or Smith, when he has means
and leisure, likes to take his family
abroad. When they come back, his wife
and daughters are filled with their ex
persences. The whole town is fred with
emulation.
Now, John Jones may not have the
means to take his family to Europe,
but he has influence in politics When
the political wheel turns and his party
is up. he looks around to see what the
reward for his services shall be. Left to
himself, he would probably be content
with the postofiice. But his wife and
daughters have had to listen to what
the Blown women or the Smith women
say of life abroad, and, womenlike,
they have listened with envy and with
a fixed purpose some day to enjoy those
experiences for themselves So, instead
of letting John Jones ask for the post
office, they insist that he must be con-
sui somewhere Their ideas may be a
little indefinite about the nature and
duties Of consul's Office. but they
know it means going abroad, and that
is enough for them.
So John Jones makes out his applica.
tion to be consul general to Paris and
writes his congressman that, while
Paris is his first choice, he will take
something equally good, but it must be
abroad. And thus. says Representative
Hit, "are the lives of congressman
made burden for the first six months
after new administration comes into
power. BY that time the consulates are
all disposed of. and the disappointed
applicants can return to the postoffices. "

Bl0ndin's Rope.

A. J. Hamlin. an old resident Of Nj
agara Falls, declares, says the Buffalo
Express, that he was instrumental in
getting Blondin the means for crossing
the gorge tie first time. Everybody
was skeptical over the pretensions Of
the acrobat, and he was unable to get
money enough to buy the rope till
Hamlin looked him over and made up
his mind that he was equal to the task
and was sincere in the undertaking. II,
then went surety for the rope, and ie
was bought and put up-l, 800 feet Of
MANILA, with many small ropes for
guys. When Hamlin went to Blondin's
room just before he was to make the
first trip he found him playing on a
hageolet as unconcerned as though no
was anticipating pleasure drive, and
he declared that he was not the least bit
anxious or nervous.

court with a view to suggesting instruc-
tions He said it had been shown by the
evidence that the defendant had guilty
knowledge of the abstraction of four pa
pers mentioned In the indictment These
were the Sullivan paper, the roll OF the
regiment OF artificers, the Cortland Com
mission, signed by John Hancock. and the
William Williams letter. 1t was lar
ceny involving conspiracy, and IL the two
men together stole the papers, they We're
equally guilty The line OF argument was
that all who concur in the commission of
a crime are guilty of the crime.
Mr.. Davis read the opinion in case
where the party received a stolen article
without first owing 1T to have been
stolen, but after learning of the theft
assisted In the deportation" of the ar
ticle, and ne was held 10 be guilty of lar
ceny.
Mr.. Davis asked that the court Instruct
the jury to the effect that IL it should be
believed that the defendant took the papers
described from the place of original de-
post, or if he removed them from Turner'S S
room at the Capitol, knowing them 10 have
been removed from the place OF original
deposit, with felonions intent it was lar
and Turner together removed them with
felonious intent, it was larceny. 1t was,
In Mr.. Davis opinion, violation of the
law of 1878 10 take away from the
Capitol, whether from the place of origi-
nal deposit or from Turner's room, any
thing shown to have been the personal
property OF the United States, and the
documents meptioned, he said, were per
sonal property.
Mr.. Douglas, of counsel for the defend
ant, asked for bat two instructions The
first was that the testimony OF an accom-
plice should be taken with caution, and
that it should be corroborated by other
testimony TO establish the case.
The next prayer was, In substance, that
the defendant letters and the testimony
as to these can only be considered as az
fecting his credlbility, and can have no
bearing upon the natters contained In the
Indictment. The letters should have no
weig
In respect OF what is know as the short
Indictment charging the larceny of the
Newburg letter and the Washington diary,
Mr. Douglas said ii was established by the
evidence that McElhone merely showed
Turner the diaryin the place whereit was
kept, and that the latter afterward alb
stracteG it and sent il away without the
connivance or aid of McElhone. II any
thing can be said of that. Mr.. Douglas
remarked, it is that McElhone knew that
Turner stole the diary, but had not par
ticipated in the theft In addition, there
was no testimony TO show that McElhone
had any part whatever in the disposition
of the Newburg circular.
Mr.. Davis said the mostimport ant charge,
in his opiuion, was that made of violation
of section 5456, which describes the ar
ticlcs taken as having been the property
OF the United States, and that they We're
'.feloniously taken and carried away
Justice Bradley held that the section re-
ferring to the taking or carrying away of
valuable papers from any publicoffice does
not cover the offense charged in the indict-
