Member of the House of Representatives
from South Carolina. To accompany the
body to the grave a procession was
formed, the President near its head. As
he crossed the rotunda and vas about to
step upon the pOrticO, Il man rushed for
ward, placed himself about eight feet be-
fore the President, and, pointing 4 pistol
at his breast, pulled the trigger. The cap
exploded, but the pistol was not dis
charged. The man raised n second piS-

under his cloak. That also missed fire.
The President, with uplifted cane, rushed
furiously at him, but before he reached

the assassin down, and he was immediate

however, proved to be an English house

out of employment and listening to those
who alleged that the policy of Gen. Jack

fired with the project of assaSSinating
him. The official examiners reported him
to have many insane delusiOns, among
them that he believed he could not be pun

sisted both by the American people and
the Powers of Europe; that he was in
correspondence with those Powers, and
that his family had been wrOngfully de-

Advice In His Answers.

The Rev. John MCNEIL was holding
a revival service at Cardiff, Wales, and
announced that he would answer any
question about the Bible. At once a
note was sent up to him reading as
follows:
Dear Mr.. McNeill-If you are seeking
to help young men, kindly tell me who
was Gains wife"
That seemed a poser, and the audi
ence waited with intense interest, tenn
pered with amusement, to see how the
good man would extricate himself. Aft

happened, and the class laughed. 1t
was a laugh on the teacher, too, but
he didn't get angry, although it did
break into the serious contemplation of
serious studies with which he was try
ing to interest the students.
1t was in the study of psychology,

first entered the human mind when GER

whether the mind thought of one GER
tain object designated by the word or
the whole general class which is en-
bodied in that word. To experiment
on this mental phenomenon in order to
bring it more clearly to the attention
of the students the professor said he
would write word on the board and
then let one of them tell instantly what
impression was made upon her mind.
He called upon one of the pupils to
be ready to think quickly and tell ex-
actly what her first thought was after
she saw the word which he was about
to write. He stood close to the board
so that the word was hidden by his
shoulders until he turned. He wrote

saw 1t except the girl who was stand

turned, he didn't get out of her way,
