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 Journal- THE TOCCOA NEWS. IN CONGRESSIONAL HALLS. Daily Routine of Eoth Houses ot tbe Fiity-Secoai Gatgreai Measures Discussed and Bills Passed By Our National Law-Makers- Tttft BfeWATfc. 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 amendments proposing reductions of disviston: appropriation For were disagreed Charleston to without harbor, South Carolina, from $750,000 t-> $650,000; $t,000,000 for Savannah, Georgia, from Alabama, to $750,000; for Mobile, from $500,000 to $450,000; lor the Mississippi river from the head of the passes to the mouth of the Ohio river, from $2 5 66§,QOO to $2,000,- 000; for the Missouri river, from $750,- 000 to $650,000. The amendment pro¬ 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 from another. The house then immedi¬ ately a ■ jourued.

The house got into a tangle Saturday OTer the paragraph in the postoffice bill appropriating $196,000 in for special fast mail facilities the south. Theugh this appropriation is for carrying mails on a fast schedule, between Bos¬ ton, New York and Washington and Atlanta to New Orleans, and though every town in the southern sta tes were benefited by it, Mr. Blount, of Georgia, and Mr. Kyle, of Mississippi, oppo ed it vigorously. Quite a heated debate arose over it, and, as a consequence, the bill was not conducted. upon Mr. Turner s motion a bill extending the time granted Colonel the channel C. P. Goodyear the for bar deepening ovet outer of Bruns¬ wick, Ga., harbor, until the 1st of No¬ vember was passed. Id the house Monday, after An hotir consumed in Unavailing filibustering, Mr. Geairy, from the committee on commerce, moved to suspend the rules and pass the New York and New Jersey bridge bill. The bill passed without the yeas and nays. 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.

Tie Last ol tie Fell Generals ol tie Confederacy Passes Away, The Distinguished Soldier Dies Sud* denly at His Home in New Orleans. General Gustave Tautant Beauregard is dead. The distinguished leader of the confederacy, the last of the full gen¬ erals of the lost cause, passed away at hia home in New Orleans Monday night at 10 o’clock, The end was wholly un¬ expected and wtU as peaceful as it Was painless.

Mrs. Gerard Beauregard died years ago. The remains will be buried with mil¬ itary honors, which promise to be the most elaborate since the death of Presi¬ dent Jefferson Davis. Major General John G. Glynn, in command of the Louisiana division of the United Con¬ federate Veterans, has issued the neces¬ sary orders and it is thought that Geh. Kirby Smith, the commander Mississippi of the de- pirimenteast of the river will take a similar course. In that event the soldiery of the state will be supple^- mented by the soldi*.ry of the contiguous states. The formal services will take place Wednesday evening at 4 o’clock. The remains will be interred in the tomb of of the Army of Tennessee, of which Gen. Beauregard was the lust president. The tomb Metairie is one of the most is imposing surmounted in cemetery and with the equestrian statue of Albert Sydney Johuston. 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 has been examined,” lie sail; “the riconnois- 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. ALL SERENE IN KANSAS. A Peace Agreement Between the Got* ethor and Republican House. A Topeka special sets: After a Con¬ sultation Friday morning, Which lasted over three hours, Governor Lewelling signed the the peace agreement between him and republican house of representa¬ tives.

The populists also loaded down the wires with messages to their supporters that all occasion for their presence in Topeka had pa sed for the time being. POPULISTS indignant. Some of the populists fr ora out-of-town are inclined affairs to be decidedly Ugly over the turn have taken, contending that the governor should have held his own until the republicans were either starved out or driven ofit Of the Btatehouse. Among the citizens, howeVer, there ia a feeling of profound relief that the Crisis has been averted without bloodshed, and the good name of the state is not to be disgraced by open civil war. APPEALING FOR HER THRONE. Princess Kaiulani Issues all Address to Americans. A London cablegram of Sunday 6ays: Princess Kaiulani s* nds the following address to the American people: “To the American People—Four v ar.< ago, at the r. quest of Mr. Thurston, then Hawaiin’s cabinet minister, I Was sent away to England to bo educated privately and fitted for lie posi¬ tion Whiclnbvthe Constitution of Ilawftiia, i was to inherit.

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.
