Parisian thief-takers are chiefly notice¬
able for an exceptionally ordinary ap¬
pearance, if one may use the expression.
It is rather disappointing at first sight to
any one who knows detective literature;
but to look ordinary and not to be so is
obviously a great merit in the business,
when you come to think of it. One of
them pulls out of bis pocket a specimen
of the homely instrument which docs
duty for handcuffs among these men.
They call it a cabriolet, or, mere cor¬
rectly, ligotte, and it consists of some
twenty inches of whipcord, with a small
piece of wood at either end. The cord
is passed round the prisoner's wrists and
twisted together. The thing is more
efficient than might be supposed, and
your true Parisian thief-taker takes a cer¬
tain pride in using simple means. He is
great at ready-made and ingenious de¬
vices. One plan with a troublesome cap¬
tive is to take off one of his boots, which
makes him limp; another is to unfasten
his clothes so that he is obliged to use at
least one hand in holding them up.
The men make their own ligottes, and
sometime produce a more formidable
article by using strong wire in loops in¬
stead of whipcord. But the real master
hand disdains even the ligotte; he carries
nothing whatever, no matter where he
goes. With tbe majority of the crimi¬
nals his mere personal influence suffices
to impose obedience, and when he meets
with a desperate character he prefers to
trust to his good right hand rather than
any weapon of offence.—New York

The senate again took up the sundry
civil appropriation bill Thursday, the
pending question relating to the Phila¬
delphia harbor improvements. The amend¬
ment item from reducing the Philadelphia harbor
half a million to $300,000 was
defeated. The amendment reducing in
like proportion the Hudson riv\r, New
York, item was also rejected. The sen¬
ate incidental to the subdry civil bill
discussed in open session the Hawaiian
treaty. Mr. Vest vigorously attacked the
proposed annexation. The discussion re¬
verting committee’s to the sundry civil bill, the
amendment to reduce the
item for improving the Mississippi river
from $758,000 to $658,000, from the
mouth of tbe Ohio to the mouth of the
Missouri, and from $866,600 to $736,000,
from the mouth of the Missouri to Minne¬
apolis, was rejected. The following

viding that not more than three-fourths
of the appropriations for internal im¬
provements shall be expended during
the next fiscal year, excepting as to the
Mississippi lake channel, and Missouri rivers and Hay
the last of the was agreed to, this being
amendments in relation to
these works, The next amendment
was rovision one that striking out the
no money shall
e used for warrants or arrests or
prosecution under the internal revenue
laws, works, or laws relating to the elec¬
tion of members of congress. This
brought on a lively political debate. No
action was taken on the amendment.
Mr. Faulkner gave notice that in conse¬
quence of the very serious illness of the
late Senator Kenna’s ch ldren, the mem-
orial services for Mr. Ivenna were post¬
poned from Saturday till Monday 27th
of February at 3 p. m. o’clock. The sen¬
ate 6:10 o’clock adjourned.
In the senate, Friday, the sundry civil
appropriation the close bill having been taken up
at of the morning business, a
vote was taken on the amendment retain¬
ing the laws for the supervision of fed¬
eral elections. It was agreed to,yeas 27,
nays 24. The senate then, on motion of
Mr. Sherman, proceeded to ex. cute bus¬
iness. After twenty minutes of seclu¬
sion the doors were reopened and
the consideration of the sundry
civil appropriation bill was proceed¬
ed with. All amendments which had
been reported from the committee on
appropriations having been disposed of,
various other amendments of no public
importance, reported from the commit¬
tee by Mr. Allison, its chairman were
agreed to. The bill was then open to
general amendment. Mr. Sherman of¬
fered his 3 per cent bond issue amend¬
ment. The merits of the amendment
were discussed for the rest of the day.
The house bill to provide for tho pub¬
lication of the eleventh census was taken
from the senate calendar Monday and
passed. On presenting concurrent reso¬
lutions of the legislature of South Dako¬
ta for a constitutional amendment to have
United States senators elected by the
people Mr. Pettigrew said in view of the
fact that the legislature had been for
several weeks endeavoring to elect a
United States senator and failed to do
so, he was heartily in favor of the new
plan. The sundry civil appropriation
bill wa9 taken up, being open to general
amendment. Its consideration occupied
the remainder of tbe day. After an ex¬
ecutive session the senate adjourned.
THE HOUSE.
The house of representatives resolved
itself into a prize ring Thursday. Tho
contestants for honors in the ring were
Representatives Turpin, of Alabama, and
Waugh, of Indiana. The fight was the
result of a discussion over the pension
appropriation bill. Mr. Turpin arose to
ask Mr. Morse a question. He wanted
to know if it was not true that there was a
clerk in the pmsion office drawing a pen¬
sion of $30 a month,for total deafness who
ceivcd a salary of $1,800 a year for ans¬
wering icquiiie8 over the the telephone.
Of course this created general laughter,
when Mr. Waugh, of India a. jumped to
his feet and dec ared that the stat.ment
was un : rue aud that there was no such
clerk iu the pension office. But the
words were hardly uttered before Mr.
Turpin bounded across the open, space in
front of the speaker’s desk, and grabbed
the Indiauian by the throat wi;h his left
band and proceeded to pound him in the
face with rigid. Mr. Waugh fought
back, and the pommeling became live!/.
Members fr m all parts of the house
rushed down the sis’es to join in to stop
the fight. The npublicans took the side
of Mr. Waugh wl i.e the dem, crats were
ready to assist Mr. Turpin, though all
were anxious to stop the fight. Speaker
Crisp happened to be on t e floor near
the desk when the fight occurred, and,
although tl e bouse was in committee of
the whole, the speaker rushed to the
desk and assumed charge, rapping for
order and ord ring the serg* ant-nt-arms
to quiet the disturbance and a ; rest the
disturbers if necessary. In a few mo¬
ments order was restored. Mr. Waugh
was c:uri-d out one door nnd Mr. Turpin

over it, and, as a consequence, the bill

UAtdtAt GOSSIP.
The Millet vs Llliott contest for the
“shoe String” or black district of South
Carolina was to have come up for deci¬
sion Thursday in the house committee on
elections, but a quorum did not appear.
Four republicans and two democrats were
present.
The confirmation of Judge Jackson’s
nomination by the senate Without objec¬
tion Was done With the understanding on
the part of the democratic senator-! that
Mr. Harrison would not nomina’e any
one to succeed him on the circuit bench,
but would leave that vacancy for Mr.
Cleveland to fill.
When Mr. Hoke Smith shall have been
anchored in a cabinet chair he will be,
with two exceptions, the youngest man
who ever held a cabinet position. Alex¬
ander Ramiltion Was secretary of the
treasury at thirty* And Nathan Goff, of
West Virginia, Was at the head of the
navy deparihent at thirty-eight.
Chairman Hatch, of the agricultural
committee, announces that he does not
intend to wait any longer on the rules
committee for a special order in behalf
of the anti option bill, and that he will
call that measure up as soon as the busi¬
ness which it has alrealy been agreed
should be taken up is out of the way.
The in senate, Thursday, refused to con-
cur the report of the committee on
the rticdry civil bill cutting down the
appropriation dollar for Savannah harber. The
million appropriation made by the
house was reinserted in the bill, and it
will go through the senate in this way,
though there is an amendment pro¬
viding that not more than three-fourths
of the appropriation shall be expended
during the next fiscal year.
A careful canvass of the members of
the senate appears to indicate that the
Hawaiian treaty will be rutified with
several votes more than the necessary
two-thirds to spare. It is understood
that members ot the foreign affairs com¬
mittee have sounded the temper of the
senate and find that this conclusion is
warranted. The limit to opposition is
put at twenty votes, while other senators,
more sanguine, believe that the opposi¬
tion to the treaty cannot muster even
that number.
President-elect Cleveland has decided
not to occupy the white house during
the early part of hi9 administration. He
wants the white house to be thorough¬
ly renovated and arranged to suit his
family before bringing Mrs. Cleveland
and the baby into it. He has therefore
arranged to rent a private house in the
city for a few months at least. .He will
take the tesidence of the late Admiral
Porter, which is but two blocks from the
white house and is one of the oldest and
most comfortable residences iu Washing¬
ton.
It Pleases the West.
The appointment of J. Sterling Mor¬
ton, of Nebraska, as secretary of agricul¬
ture meets with general approval amoDg
the democrats in Washington. Repre¬
sentative Brian, of Nebraska, says Mr.
Morton has been identified with the history
of his state since territorial days and is
among the most illustrious of her citizens.
He has been a tariff reformer for many
years and has, at various times, been the
di mocratic candidate for governor, sen¬
ator and congressman, though always de¬
feated.
Judge Jackson Confirmed.
If there was at any time a disposition
on the part of tbe democrats to oppose
the confirmation of Judge Jackson, to be
an associate justice of the supreme court
of the United States, that opposition
vanished when the senate went into ex
ecutive session Saturday afternoon.
There was not even the formality of a
vote. The executive journal was read
containing the Domination of Judge
Jacks >d, which had previously been re¬
ported favorably, and when the president
of the senate said. “If there are no ob¬
jections the nomination will stand con
firmed.” not a^senator Vay opened his mouth.
In this quiet all opposition disap¬
peared, and Associate Justice Jackson
will, r.s so m as convenient to him, qual¬
ify for the plr.ee to which he has been ap¬
pointed.
CINCINNATI FLOODED.

A SKETCH OF H18 LIFE.
General Beauregard was born in the parish of
St. Martin, in Louisiana, in 1816. His great
grandfather sprang from a noble family in
France, which emigrated to this country dur¬
ing the reign of Louis XV, and settled in Lou¬
isiana. The name of the family was Toutant
de Bouregard, until James, the father of Pierre
Gustav#, discarded tbe titular portion of it, for
the reason, some allege, that it was repugnant
to the old gentleman’s the republican taste. Helene
James Toutant, father, married
Reggio, whose earliest American ancestor came
to this country about the time of the Beaure¬
gards. The family of Reggio is also of noble
origin, being an Italian branch of the house of
Este. The fruit of the marriage was three sons,
of whom Pierre Gustave was the second, and
three daughters.
General Beauregard entered West Point as
a cadet in 1834, and graduated June 30, 1838,
taking second honors m a class promoted of forty-five.
On June 16, 1839, he was to a first
lieutenancy in the engineer corps, and in that
capacity entered the Mexican war, obtaining
two brevets in it, and serving generally with
great distinction. Two incidents of his Mexi¬
can career are practical worth recording methodical as illustrating
the peculiarly and charac¬
ter of the man: Lieutenant Beauregard was
sent out before Vera Cruz by his colonel with a
party of sappers to dig and prepare a trench,
according to a plan and [.rutile made by his su¬
perior officer. No sconer had Beauregard ex¬
amined the ground than ha discovered himself, great
objections to the plan. To a sure be
climbed a tree, and with the aid of a field glass
be made a reconnoissance, and s&w plainly that
the trench as planuetl would be enfiladed by
the t nemy’s guns. Het e was a delicate and
difficult po-ition for a subaltern officer. He
decided promptly. He returned to headquar¬
ters without sticking a spade in the ground.
The colonel met him and expressed snr-
pris d that he had so soon accomplished
his mission, Beauregard replied colonel, that he
hadn’t even touched it. The with
tlae astonishment m lhary men fe.l on bearing
that their o deis have not been ob yeJ, acridly
enquired tbe r< ason. Tne 1 enteinmt “The explain¬
ed; the colonel was in radii ous. ground

sance was perfect.” perfect.” repdo “The reconnoissance the subaltern, “but m\y
hav ■ been l
it was not made fr< m up a tree.” Like a sen¬
sible mart, the colonel concluded to make an¬
other examination, and the plan was changed
in accordance w;th the young lieutenant’s
View?. The work done from those trenches is a
matter of historv. The second incident occur¬
red before the City of Mexico. A night or two
before the attack a council of war was held.
There were assembled all the eminent warriors,
from Lieutenant General Scott, Worth, Twiggs, The de¬
etc., down to tbe youngest lieutenant
bate went ou for hours. General Scott was
alone in his opinion. Every officer pres¬
ent except one, bad spoken and ail concurred
in their views. The silent member was Lieu¬
tenant Beauregard. At last Gt-nend Pierce
crossed over to him and said: “Yon have not
expressed an opinion.” “I havj not been called
on,” said B auregard. “You >hall be how-
ever," said Pierce, Lieutenant and resuming Beauregard his had seat an¬
nounced that not
given his opinion. that Being thus called out, he
remedied if the plan, which had received
the assent of all but the commanding general,
was carried into effect it would prove disas¬
trous. He then gave at length the objections
General to the scheme of the majority, and taking up
Scott’s plan urged the reasons in its
favor with equal earnestness. The council re¬
versed its decision, and the City of Mexico was
entered according to the plan urged by the
young lieutenant.
On August 20, 1817, he was breveted captain
for hia gallant and meritorious conduct. At
the Belen Gate he was wonnded and after his
retain home was presented with an elegant
sword, Subsequently he was placed bv the
well as the fortiflcatiohi eta and near the mouth
of ilie Mississippi.
His career in the late war id a taatter of his-:
tory as is well known to all.

sultation Friday morning, Which lasted
over three hours, Governor Lewelling
signed the the peace agreement between him
and republican house of representa¬
tives. News of the settlement of tbe

Americans.

Princess Kaiulani s* nds the following
address to the American people:

REPLY TO -KAIUI.AJU’s ADDRESS.
Hawaiian A Washington special says: The
envoys, both of the deposed
queen and provisional government, sp-nt
part of the day Monday at the capital iu
conference with several senators. Tburs
ton, of the Hawaiian commission, has
given out a statement in reply to the
message to the American people from
Princess Kaiulani, heir apprrent to the
Hawaiian throue, telegraphed from Lon¬
don. Thurston calls her Miss Cieghorn
and says he had nothing to do with send
ing her to England to be educated ; that
she went to England about 1887. At that
time she was not heir to the throne and
had no standing under the consti ution of
Hawaii, Kalakaua was then king, and
ex-Queen Liliuokalani, his sister, was by
law heir. By Kalakaua’s death she came
to the throne in February, 1891. She
then had power to nominate her success¬
or, subject to the ratifica ion of tbe
house of nobles, which was done ab mt
March 1, 1891. This was the earliest
date at which Kaiulana had any standing
under the cons itution as heir to the
throne. As a matter of fact, the young
lady’s father is a British subject. Her
guardian, T. R. Walker, the British con¬
sul at Honolulu,and his business partner,
T. H. Davies, is her bu iness agent and
has control of her in England. The
young lady was sent to England by her
father against a strong feeling in Hono¬
lulu that it would be best that she be ed¬
ucated in the United States.
