But for the intervention of the police the crank would have been roughly handled by tho people. During Queen Victoria’s reign of forty-four years this is the seventh personal attack made upon her.

A RAILROAD OFFICIAL INTERVIEWED.

Not every one so cheerfully communicates hie knowledge and opinions as recently did E. L. Loweree, Esq., cashier of the Cincinnati Southern railway, that splendid outlet to the South from the Ohio. Our representative waited upon Mr. Loweree, and in reply to certain questions the latter gentleman observed: “ I was suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism in my right foot; it was in a terrible condition; the pain was almost intolerable; our family physician waited on me without success ; I sent for another well-known M. D., but even the twain could do nothing for me ; I could not get down here to the office to attend to my duties ; in fact, I could not put my foot under me at all, and after nine weeks’ suffering I began to grow desperate. My friend (whom, of course, you know, for heis known by everybody), Mr. Stacey Hill, of the Mt. Auburn Inclined Plane Railroad Co., called to see me; he spoke very highly of St. Jacobs Oil, and recommended the remedy to me in glowing terms. I laughed at the idea of using a proprietary medicine, and yet the party recommending it (Mr. Stacey Hill, remember), being a man of sound judgment, set me to thinking the matter over. The next day, when the physicians called, I dismissed them, and said to myself that I would let nature take its course. That resolution lasted just a day. On the following morning I, in a fit of desperation, sent a servant for a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. I applied that wonderful remedy, and it penetrated me so that I thought my foot,was about to fall off, but it did not; in fact it did just the opposite. The next morning the pain had entirely left my foot, the swelling was reduced, and really the appearance was so different from the day before that it actually surprised me. I applied more of the St. Jaoobs Oil, and that afternoon I walked down to the office, and was able to attend to my duties and get around as well as any one. Let me say for St. Jacobs Oil that it beats railroad time, and is always sure to win.— Cincinnati Enquirer.

Two lenors and a High C. A story is told by Music, to the effect that Provost, on the afternoon before he was to appear as Arnoldo in “ William Tell,” went into a beer saloon for a moment and was seen by Campanini, who rushed after him, and) patting him on the back, said : ‘ !

Campanini took beer, and then treated Prevost six times iu rapid succession, complimenting him generoii.sly. That evening Prevost cracked on Ins high C, and Campanini was m the lobby, grin) uing like'a Cheshire cab T4e beer had done its work,

GARFIELD MEMORIAL SERVICES.

Wabhinoton, Feb. 27. Prior to 10 o’clock this morning admission to the Capitol was refus<£l to all save members of the two house* of Congress and their employes, but at that hour the doors were thrown open to persons fielding ticket* to the memorial services of the late James A Garfield; and soon the galleries of the House were filled to the utmost capacity. A large • majority of the spectators were ladies, who, out of respect to the occasion, had, for the most part, discarded bright colors, and somber black was the prevailing hue. There were no signs of mourning in the halL A full-leDgth portrait of the late President was hnng just back or the chairs of the presiding officers, being itself undraped, the members of the House early in attendance all being arrayed in black. In the lobby, back of the Speaker’s desk, the Marine Band was stationed, and at intervals from 10 o’clock until noon discoursed solemn music.

Among the distinguished guest first to arrives were Judge Bancroft, Cyrus W.Field and Admiral Worden, who took seats directly in front of the Clerk’s desk. Among the guests who at an earlv hour occupied seats upon the floor, were Gen. Schenck and Govs. Hoyt, of Pennsylvania, Foster, of Ohio, Hamilton, of Maryland, and Bigelow, of Connecticut At 11:30 Gens. Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock, Howard and Meigs and Admirals Ammen, Rogers and Rodgers entered. »Dd were assigned seats to the left of the Speaker's desk, a»I a few moments later the members of ihe Diplomatic Corps, in full regalia, were ushered-in, bended by the Hawaiian Minister as Dean of the corps. Their brilliant oostumos only served to throw into stronger relief the dark attire of the members of Congress, who sat immediately behind them. The members of the Supreme Court of the District, headed by Marshal Henry, were the next arrivals. Dr. Bliss was also in attendance. Mrs. Blaine occupied a front seat in the gallery reserved for the friends of the President.

At precisely 12 o’clock the House was called to order by Speaker Keifer, and prayer was offered by the Chaplain. The Speaker then said : “This day has boen dedicated by the action of the two houses of Congress to services in commemoration of the life and death of James Abram Garfield, late Presrdent of the United States. This House is now assembled and ready to perform its part.” The resolutions setting apart to-day for the niv rnorial services were then read by Clerk McPherson. At 12:10 the Bcnate was announced, and all rose as the Senators, headed by the officers of that body, entered and took their assigned seats. They were followed by the Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, dressed in their robes of office. Again the assembled multitude arose, as the President of the United States and his Cabinet were announced. They were accompanied by Senator Sherman and Representative McKinley. Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements. Tho President took the front seat on the right of the presiding officer’s chair. The orator of the day, Hon. James G. Blame, was announoed at 12:30, and the ceremonies then opened by a short prayer by Chaplain Power, of the House, after which President Davis said : “ This day is dedicated by Congress for the memorial services of the late President of the United States, James A. Garfield. I present you Hon. James G. Blaine, who has been fitly chosen as the orator for this historical occasion.”

Mr. Blaino then rose, and standing at the Cierk’s desk, immediately in front of the two presiding officers, proceeded, with great impressiveness of manner and clearness of tone, to delivor his eulogy from manuscript. The oration was quite lengthy and worthy of the occasion.

A Detective’s Story.

Our readers were no doubt nearly all apprized of the robbery of a U. P. train last summer and the capture of the band by our heroic, efficient and astute detective officer, Mr. Steve Mead ; how, after the first robbery had been committed, Mr. Mead joined the robbing band and effected the capture and subsequent imprisonment of that desperate crowd. Mr. Mead yesterday regaled us with an account of the leader of the band, who was captured a short time ago. The story is as follows : “After having jugged the gang, I was called East, and had to forego for the time the pleasnre of handing their leader over to justice. I knew that he had fled to California, and there I was foroed to leave him. Not long ago, however, while working up another case in San Franoisoo, I received a note one day in my hotel, in whioh the writer requested me to call at a oertain place and time and hear of something to my advantage. I never pay attention to anonymous notes, but something impelled me to do so in this case. I called at the time and place mentioned, and found both time and place anything but assuring. The house was a rookery in the Chinese quarter. I was met at the door by a man of remarkable height, stoutly built and wearing long whiskers. He ushered me inside in a manner at the same time polite and suspiciously mysterious. I observed mine host very carefully, and the furtive glances he shot at me made me wish I had remained at my hotel. I never before or since was looked upon by eyes such as he seemed to pierce through me with. They actually glittered in hfh head with a mocking, cutting glance that made me uncomfortably nervous. He addressed me by name, treated me kindly arid politely, but would answer no questions. His manner impressed me as being,unusually strange, and I watched his every movement. It was well for me that I did so, for suddenly, while in the midst of a courteous speech, he leaped upon me in my chair and hurled me backward to the floor, and with his knees upon my breast and his hands tightly clutched about my throat with an embrace like an iron vise. It was the most desperate struggle I ever had, and I have had several. Over and over we rolled, now one on top and then the other. I broke his hold upon my neck by an almost superhuman effort. It was a long and tight struggle for the mastery. My right arm was lamed at the time from rheumatism and that made matters worse. However I managed to get out my ‘billy.’ A blow of that peacemaker soon quieted him, although I struck him with my left hand, the right arm, as I remarked, being crippled with rheumatism. The nippers were soon on him. In the struggle, the whiskers, which were false, were pulled from his face, revealing the wellknown mug of the leader of the train robbers.

“Had the struggle lasted much longer without giving me a chance to get my billy he would have overcome me, owing to the weakness of my rheumatic aim; but the rheumatism and a struggle for life never caught me together again. I got rid of the robber and the rheumatism together. The next day, while reading an account of the struggle in the San Francisco Call, I noticed an advertisement of St. Jacobs Oil, the Great German Remedy, and I immediately and sensibly purchased a bottle of that peerless medicine. I had tried so many different liniments and so-called remedies before I tried St. Jacobs Oil, and found them all useless, that I am warranted in calling that medicine peerless. The way in which St. Jacobs Oil knocks the rheumatism is astounding. I had not used it more than a day before I noticed a remarkable change in my arm, and after a week I felt as though it would be a delight to meet with another adventure just to have a chance to wield it. In less than twelve days’ time my rheumatism had disappeared, a complete and permanent cure being the result of using St. Jacobs Oil, and I can truly say that I have never felt the least sign of pain in my arm since. Could I but rid the West of train robbers as fast as St. Jacobs Oil can knock the rheumatism, travel on the U. P. would be safe.”—Cincinnati Times-Star.

A Miniature of Aaron Burr.

Burr lived until 1836. I remember that as I Was walking one day, in my early my father in Maiden lane, he pointed out to me a little, shambling old man, with rumpled white cravat, hair whiter than his cravat, and rusty black coat—a very forlorn and doleful-looking creature. “ When you are older,” my father said, “the time will come when you will remember that you have seen that man; that is Aaron Burr. ” —Richard Grant White, in the Century Magazine.

From an extensive use of St. Jacobs Oil in the editor’s family, we are able to speak confidently of its great worth in numerous ailments, and fully recommend it as an article most desirable to have on hand in the medicine chest. Stamford (CT.) Herald.

Comet Seeking.

The number of comet seekers is so few, compared with the amplitude of the tracts of sky to be explored nightly, that it is probable that many celestialvisitors escape detection. Several observers may be simultaneously at work upon one region, while larger areas may be left entirely unexplored, To prevent

Buch unintentional waste of time and labor the Science Observer suggests a mapping out of the heavens and an allotment of special tracts to particular observers, who shall agree to explore them nightly.

A. Curious Scientific Instrument.

A New York papa: mentions a onrious instrument invented by a young Japanese engineer. It is a familiar fact to those acquainted with the problems of surveying and engneering, that the most tedious calculations associated with professional services of that class arise from the method of triangulation now in use, and from the fatiguing and abstruse relations of sines and cosines which enter into the work. The necessity of an instrument capable of measuring these relations with aocuracy and of experimentally solving the problems of trigonometry arhing in the course of a survey, has been long confessed by engineers. The invention perfected by the young Japanese engineer—not patented, by the wav—consists primarily of a steel or brass plate, near the bottom of which is a graduated bar which may represent the base of any given triangle. The bar is graduated into ten equal parts with extreme accuracy, and these sections are again graduated until a linear register of the utmost conceivable fineness is produced. At one end of the bar is fixed a semicircular plate, the c.rcumference of which is graduated into degrees, minutes, and seconds, and the base of which is parallel with the bar itself. At the other end is placed a quadrant, or quarter of a circle, graduated in the same manner. At the center of each of the oiroles of which these plates form sections, a movable bar turns upon a pivot, in the same manner as the hands of a clock. Each of these bars is graduated into ten equal parts of the same length as those of the bases, and each part is finely subdivided. The quadrant and semicircular plates are also so constructed as to slide into the fixed bar, thus forming a baae-line of any convenient or assignable length. With this instrument such problems as those in which one angle and the adjacent sides, one Bide and the adjaoent angles, or one angle and the opposite side are given, to find the other factors, may be performed instantaneously without calculation. Having for example, one angle and the adjaoent sides given, the engineer revolves the graduated har upon the quadrant if the angle is less than a right angle, and upon the semicircle if it is obtuse, until the proper angle is registered. He then revolves the second bar until a triangle is formed whose sides are exactly proportionate to those given, and reads off the second angle from the plate. To find the third it is only necessary to subtract the sum of the two already ascertained from 180. In the meantime, the ratio of the third side to the other has already been registered upon the seoond movable bar. The problem is consequently solved without reference to the sines, cosines, and tedious logarithms with which trigonometry abounus.

Fortune-Tellers.

The fortune-telling sisterhood eoutrive to make consul- ruble money in panderiug to tiie credulity of their “clients.” The usual charge tor a consultation is fifty cents or a dollar; but the price is as elastic as the seer’s conscience, and can be stretched indefinitely. The trade of fortune-telling is now monopol?zed by women. Some years ago there were a men in the business. They called themselves astro! ogis f s, and had an astonishing kind of intimacy with thf «tars. But the women now have the field to themselves. The impression that all their dnp >8 are tithe servantgirl class is a mistake. A great manywealthy ladies patrouizc them. It is not by any means uncommon to hear a woman of average intelligence and fair education say that she believes iu fortune-tell-ing. With a gx-eat many women of this sort, the first impulse when anything goes wrong, is to consult a fortune-teller. The parlor as well as the kitchen contributes to the coffers of the card-slmffliug swindlers. Wheu the late Philander Doesticks, P. 8., wrote up the fortunetellers of New York, some five £ nd twenty years ago, Ihe trade was considerably hurt, for some time. But it soon flourished again, and is now as ever, if nos more so. We have a law against it, but the harpies who follow it don’t m’nd that. The law says that those who “pretend to tell fortunes, or where lost and stolen goods can be found” shall be held as disorderly persons. But it is easy enough for them to find bail, tako another name, and go on with their nefariious business.

Taking Care of the Cedars.

The cedars of Lebanon are now inclosed by a heavy wall, and the pick nicking tourists who have been in the habit of building fires out of tlieir twigs and against their trunks and distributing sardine boxes and scraps of paper under their shades will no longer offend travelers who feel a reverence for these relics of antiquity. It is the most enlightened thing the Turks have done for some time past, and we have to thank Rustem Pasha for it.

Fatal Boiler Explosion.

The explosion of a boiler in Wesler A Barnes’ raw-mill, at Stone, Randolph oounty, Ind., was attended with shocking loss of life. The employes had just gone to work and some of them were adjusting the pump which feeds the boiler. There was a very heavy head of steam on, and the pump commenced working, throwing cold water into the boiler, when suddenly there was a deafening explosion. As soon as citizens oould gather, it was found that the following persons were instantly killed : Hcdson Clark, Robert Randall, George Wesler, William Yankee, Lewis Mann, William Fleming. In addition to this shocking deathlist a number of persons were hurt, some of them quite scvi rely. The dead victims of the explosion were frightfully mutilated. Wesler’s body was found partly wrapped around a post, with all of the large bones broken, bis head split, and a grate bar sunken in his face. Robert RandaU’s bead was smashed flat, and one eye and the temple gone. Hodson Clark had his throat cut wi h a piece of iron or a splinter, and the part of his head was piucbed off. William Yankee’s head was in the same condition, and his brains ran out on the ground. A piece of the casting from the engine penetrated Lewis Mann’s side and cut his entrails. Alexarder Stephens says it took him ten long years to learn that nine men out of ten who want the favor of a small loan, have no intention of repaying it until they want a larger one.

Spring Fever.

Persons should not think lightly of that feeling of extreme debility so common in the spring of the year. It is often the forerunner of a year of ill health. It renders the system very susceptible to disease, and is caused by the blood being filled with poisonous homos. The blood, byall mesas, should be kept healthy ; otherwise its power to assimilate nutritions food becomes impaired, and dyspepsia, liver complaint, headache, nervous debility, extreme languor, weak kidneys, want of physical and mental endurance and general prostration is the result. Since prevention is better than cure, don’t wait for the final result of spring-time indisposition, when the first symptoms or languor are manifested, but begin using Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. A a spring medicine it excels all other remedies, gently but surely expelling the poisonous blood humors with which the system becomes impregnated by the incidental effect of changeable winter weather. It makes the blood red, rich and pure, causes it to circulate with more vim, enables it to renew the wasted tissues, and carries strength and vitality to every weakened part of the hnman system, restoring impaired bodily functions, and checking all decay of the urinary, digestive and pulmonary organs, which, if neglected, too often ends in a premature grave. To avoid danger from rear collisions, a newspaper ' correspondent suggests that the rear car be emptied instantly whenever a train comes to a stop elsewhere than at a station. We would suggest that some of the worst rear collisions have been at stations—notably that at Revere, so that it might be well to empty the rear car there too. It is an Irish* philanthropist, we believe, who proposed to take radical measures and leave off the rear car entirely. Mr. Robt. B. Barton, of Dayton, Ohio, writes : “ I wish every one to know that Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla haa cured me of severe dyspepsia and urinary troubles. It has made me very strong.” A dealer in rubber goods was invited by a friend into a Now York restaurant, where liver aucl bacon were served to them. After chewing on it for a while the rubber merchant said, ‘ ‘ How curiojs it is that, although I live out of town, these restaurant people know me, and know that I deal iu these goods, too.”

Potash for grape vines is being tested in Franoe. A variety of the black muscat has been found defective in color where potash is deficient iu the soil, and the writer recommends that one vine of this grape he placed iu every grapehouse, to show by its full or by its deficient color whether the border for the roots has a sufficient supply of potash. Druggists say that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the best remedy for female oomplaints they ever heard of. Homeliness is almost as great a merit in a book as in a house, il the reader would abide there. It is next to beauty and a very high art. It flea on the wings of the morning, good news as well as bad, always. We mean the fame of “Dr. Sykes’ Sure Cure for Catarrh.” Mrs. Emma P.
