At the same time Miss Johanna Oppitz, Rudolph’s sister-in-law, dashed a bucket of water in his face and old man Oppitz jolned in the melee and caught his son-in-law by the neck. Rudolph swore he ‘would not make a bomb to please his anarchist ‘wife and her family; that he was a law-abiding citizen; that he was no coward and no anarchist- He would not stand more abuse from them, so he appeared before Justice C.

From the New York Tribune. Henry J. Cullen, of No. 23 Pierrepont street, Brooklyn, reached home yesterday by the Trave, after a tour about Europe which has lasted since February. At Vienna Mr. Cullen met with an amusing adventure, in which a distinguished American traveler alsohada hand. He wola the story somewhat as follow: “Sr. Biaine* and I were at the same hotel, the Imperial, and one evening we both went tothe opera, ‘e both walked, and each of us had his courier, and as it was arm night 1 gave my overcoat to my courier to carry, and Mr. Blaine did the same. Mr. Blaine’s courier was not his regular one, Dut one of those who act as guides about the city, and he did not know bis master’s ce. AS we Were going up the steps of the opera yuse my courier me my coat. Mr. Blaine saw it, and as was much like bis own he thougiit that it was his coat and his courier, and tried to catch = it. He said nothing, for he did not know whether f was a Frenchman or a German, or what I was, but I knew him, for I had seen him at Homburg, and I said nothing, because I saw through the joke, and didn’t want to spoil It by speaking tohim in English. I could see his own ae ee oe up the steps with his coat, but Mr. Blaine kept Urying to get mine, till his Lo ee who knew where he was, came and told him, and then he Went on and not a word was sald.” Ab interestii int in connection with this tn- cident is that Cullen was a member of the convention that nominated ‘Grover Cleveland for governor of New York, and also of the one that nominated him for President, ane Good Counsel from Gladstone. ‘BE ADVISES THAT NO FURTHER MEETINGS BE HELD IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE UNTIL THE LAW IS TESTED IN ‘THE COURTS.

SIGNOR SCHIAPARELLI HAD TO CHANGE HIS MAP FRE- ‘QUENTLY TO KEEP PACE WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS. From the Boston Herald. Appaper has recently been published by Signor Schiaparelli, who is, perhaps, the most eminent of Italian astronomers, of the result of observations taken by him at Milan of the physical conditions of the planet Mars. These observations were taken im the years 1877, 1879 and 1882—pertods duri: which Mars approached, in following its ‘elliptical course, nearer to Our earth than it ordinarily comes. it is well known that the geography Of this planet has been for some time past care- fully studied. M: have been drawn giving the seas and continents that divide the surface of that planet, and, as a distinguished .astronomer has recently said, so far as the polar regions are concerned, we know more of those on the planet Mars than we do of those on our own world, It is Known that Mars has an atmosphere that would permt: of some form of animal iife, perhaps the ‘same that we find upon the earth; that the snows fall in winter aad melt away in the spring.

What seems to be anew dis- covery 1s that the land surface of the planet Mars 4s, or appears to be, divided into great canals 30 miles or more in Width, and extending in abso- lutely straight and often parallel lines from tbe seacoast for 1,000 miles or more into the interior, where they sometimes intersect with other canals running directly at right angles. This would seem to Indicate a direction of forces different from those commonly displayed by nature. But what is even more remarkable, if we are to trust our authority, 4s that observation has shown that in some cases these assumed canals seem to be in process of con- Siig, Schiaparelli asserts that, he tl Sig. lay was ly surprised to ind that the chart of the “surface of Mars, carefully prepared by him from his ob- servations in 1879, was found defective in 1882, because during the interval the number of his as- sumed canals had increased. But his surprise Was changed to astonishment. on - finding, duriog ‘the course of his observations in 1882, tht at Short intervals what might be termed i parallel canals came, as it were, into existence, He could hardly assert that he Watched their formation, though in a certain degree he was able to do this. What conclusion he draws from this assertion ne does not say, leaving it for future observ- ers, when, in a few years % chance for further observation takés place, to draw thelr own deductions, But, appar- ently, the assumption might be made—pre- mising the necuracy of these auserted facts—that the planet Mars is iphabited by g race of beings possessed of enormous powers, bat the knowl. edge and strength needed to perform in a short Space o( time what, wouid be almost equivalent to the construction of a canal that id reach from the Atlantic Ocean to Chicago, with a width ap- | aerate A equal to half the width of the State of Jassachusetts.

CALLED THREE TIMES TO EMBALM A MAN. ‘The Pittsburg Post tells the following: A prom- inent county official told a remarkable story last night, but declined to give names, although he gave his solemn word that the statements could easily be verified. He said that on Monday, Octo- ber 23, an undertaker down town received & tele- phone message from another undertaker in the wrenceville district asking him to come out and embaim a body, the Lawrenceville undertaker not having facilities for embalming.
