They will be asked to take part in the
approaching semi-centennial observ
ances. KoTwmisTAXDiXG it has been claimed
that the "Black Hamburg" grape
will grow nowhere in the United States
but in California, Baron dc Luttcchaw
has in his vineyard at Waldo, Florida,
a number of vines laden to their utmost
with clusters of the largest size.
The Lake Voorhces cattle ranee of
Yyoming is the greatest in the world,

A gentleman recently appointed con
scrvatorof a demented Norwich. Conn.,
man. discovered that lie had over Stl-,
000 to his credit in a broker's office in

the money and placed it where he
thought it would be more" secure. In
ten days the broker's lirm had failed.
The stream of German emigration is
again rising, the total number of those
who left the fatherland for America in
the first quarter of this y ear having been
twenty-nine thousand seven hundred
and cightv-two. as compared with
twenty-eight thousand two hundred
and ninety-one in the same period of
1SS3, or considerably more than a
whole army corps on a war footing.
Pkof. Vincnow. the celebrated anat
omist, has written to the Berlin news
papers to express hi opinion, come to
after careful scientific investigation of
the subject, that the danger arising
from trichiniaM in German pork is "in
finitely greater than the peril of an
epidemic from Amcrican-brcd pigs, and
that, to be consistent, the Imperial Gov
ernment, which has forbidden the im
portation of all sorts of pig-fiesh from
the United States, ought not to alkw
thc rearing of anv nwinc at all in Ger
many.
A Boston boy, i.vclvo years old, was
arrested in Portland, Me., the other
day, and in his pockets were found a
quantity of cheap pamphlets containing
Indian stories about 'One-Eyed Nick,
the Giant Scout," etc.; a revolver, a
bag of cartridges, two brxvj watch
chains, a cheap nickel-plated watch,
worth, perhaps, two dollars; a toy pis
tol, two old jack-knives, a quantity of
strings, a piece of leather, a strip of
calf-skin with the hair on it, a button or
two, a ragged handkerchief, several
pieces of woolen cloth, some candy, a
lot of dirty, broken lozenges, hntf a
dozen filthy raisins, and a, handful of
fine dirt.
The landlords and Vhopkccpcrs of
Switzerland are bitterly bewailing the
economical habits of the tourists who
have visited their country so far this
year. They say that they have had
shoals of German visitors, but complain
that there is no money to be made out
of their customers, because they bring
the frugal habiLf of the fatherland with
them, even when they come holiday-,
making. Very few of the richer classes
of tourists have yet made their appear
ance in the Republic, owing to the
backwardness of the spring, and the
bonifaccs are devoutly praying for
warm weather and rich Americans to
come their wav.
In England the first four Freemason
Lodges were cstablUhed June 2J, 1717,
the leading spirits being Dcagulicrs. a
French Huguenot, and James Ander

There are now sixty Provincial Grand
Lodges and one thousand two hundred
Lodges in England, besidus a Grand
Chapter for the Royal Arch Degree, a
Grand Lodge for the Work Masons, a
Grand Conclave of Knights Templar,
and a Supreme Grand Council of the
Ancient and Accepted Rite of the Thirty
three Degrees. In Ireland the first
Lodge was founded in 1730, at Dublin,
and there arc now three hundred and
fifty of them; in Scotland the first Lodge
was opened in 1736, and there are now
four hundred.
Mn. Wiluah IL Vandekbilt's
treasure vault, in which he recently
stowed away some 100,000,000 in se
curities, is one of the most redoubtable
works of defense on the American con
tinent, though you may not be entirely
certain of that by surveying his man
sion from the outside. Its foundations
were blasted out of the rock; the front
wall is five feet in thickness, and the
side and rear walls three feet, the ma
terials used being pressed brick with
brown-stone trimmings. Tbo beams,
girders and main pillars are iron, in
cased in fire-proof material. Tbc doors,
window-frames and minor partitions ara
iron, marble and glass. No wood is to
be found in the structure. The great
vault is thirty-six by forty-two feet, of
wrought iron, steel and Franklinittf
iron. Is imposing in strength and pro
portions, and is situated on the ground
floor. Its four octer doors weigh 8,200
pounds each, and have every effective
and known improvement in defensive
devices. A massive wall of masonry
surrounds the ironwork. The vault,
which is burglar, fire, and water-proof,
constitutes a distinct bunding in itself.

When the case of Tiller, the Express
robber, was called In the Criminal Court
this morning bis attorneys pronounced
themselves as ready to proceed. The ta
dlctment was then read to the prisoner
and he was asked to plead. To the as
tonishment of the Court Tiller answered,
without a moment's hesitation:
"Guilty, Your Honor!"
There was a sensation succeeding thl
but presently Jndge Van Wagoner
turned In his chair, ordered the prisoner
to rise, and sentenced him to five years'
Imprisonment In the Penitentiary. This
Is the full penalty of the law for grand
larceny.
Mr. McBride, T,,-r's attorney, ap
pealed to the cotR' for clemency.
This, Judge W. C. Jones, representing"
the Pacific Express Company, opposed,
stating that there was no cause for
leniency. The defendant was In the em
ploy of the company In a position ot trust
and proved hiraselt unworthy ot the con
science reposed In him. In the opinion
of the prosecution the imposition ot a
heavy sentence was due the employers'
and the company. Taking the circum
stances into consideration Judge Van
Wagoner took the latter view of the case.
Tiller atood before the bar with hit
Bead hung down. The news of his ar
raignment attracted a crowd from tie
andience-room of the other courts. Sev

was imposed In Judge Van Wagoner's'
ImpresMve tones, the defendant turned ta
go, when his attorney suggested taat the
other cases be disposed ot to-acy. He
reminded the court that the Indictment to
which Tiller pleaded covered the offense
In Its entirety, nd a nolle pros, of the
remaining charges was accordingly ug-
gested, and was granted by the Court.

THE EDUCATIONAL BILL. "'
Representative IVlilis ot Kentucky, Has
Hope t Getting Action in tho noose oa
This Important Measure.
WAsmso-tox, D. C, May Zt.
Mr. Willis, of Kentucky, the author of
the House educational bill, hopes to gel
that subject before the House for
its action this week. Now that the
bolk of the appropriation bills are
off the hands of the House, It is In
clined to turn Its attention to some of tho
more Important measures before it,
which are for the good ot the genera)
public In fact, the leading members'
recognize the necessity for doing some
thing. Almost six months of the session
have passed, and it Is difficiIf.opolntoQt
any general measure of Importance, aside
from the plenro-pnenmoula bill, and
one or two others of a general nature,
that have passed the House The gen
eral Impression among the friends ot the
educational but Is that it will not meet
with serious opposition at the House end
of the Capitol. It was pretty thorough!
discussed in the Senate, and the Senate
put the bill In such shape as to give gen
eral satisfaction. As amended by
the Senate, It Is now very similar
to the bill Introduced In the Uousf
by Mr. WUHs: se It Is proba
blc that Mr. Willis will, when the bit
comes up In the House, move to substi
tute the Senate bill for his own. In order
to lessen the complications which txcmM
follow, should the House adopt Its owa
bill instead of the Senate's, and the pros
pect that the bill may bcc-.xnealawscemi
to be very good.
