In England one person in every seven ie a depositor in a postal bank, and the total amount of deposits in the keeping of the uovernmeni is more than $400,000,000. 'It is doubtful whether the horse is now anywhere found in its native state, the wild horse of the steppes of Tar tar y and other regions of the Old ' World being possibly animals escaped from domestication. In a number of States efforts are being made to pass laws taxing bachelors. Married statesmen will he'p to pass the measures on the ground that "misery loves oompany," suggests the New York Tribune."

In the OQnne of the evidence in a collision action in the British admit* alty Court the other day a sailor who wai on one of the oolliding ships at the time. Said that he was now earn' ing his livelihood on shore as a chimney sweep. He had already had eight ships sank ander him, as ihe result of collisions, and he had at length come , to the conclusion that he had had enough of the sea. Angry at a neighbor for killing his dog, a Frederick (Md.) farmer asked a lawyer to oollecft $10 damages for him. Hesa'ts were alow and he seoretly gave the oase to ancther lawyer, who wrote the offender to cell and pay np. The guilty man, frightened at the thought of the two lawyers after him, went to the first one and paid the $10, remarking inoidentally that he had received a letter from the other. The lawyers met and divided the $10, and their elient had to langh at himself. ====^====^====== j According to the census returns, there are in India fewer females than males to the number of six and a quarter millions. It is suggested that this extraordinary diSerence may be partially accounted for by the fact females are so little esteemed as to be in many cases omitted from the returns, that female infanticide is not totally stopped, and that siok girls are less oared for than boys. Out of the 358,000 married girls under five years of age there are 14,000 who are already widows, while out of 100,000 girls between ten end fourteen years old, crty 1373 are unmarried.

The" Watchdog of the Treasury" Succumbs to Spinal Meningitis. William Steele Holman, of Indiana, tho olc.est member of Congress in point of service. died at Washington, Thursday, after an Illness of several weeks. Spinal meningitis was the direct cause of death, and the venerable statesman had been uneoiseious for days preceding the end. Congressman Holman was nearly seventyfive years of age, his birthday falling in September. He was serving his sixteenth teim. Mr. Holman would have been called "the Father of the House" during late years were it not for the fact that for over twenty years he was known, both in and out of the House, as "the Watchdog of the Treasury." j-n. THE LATE W. 8. E0LMAX. William Steele Holman was born in Dearborn County, Indiana, in 1822. He had a eommon school education, supplemented tv a two-year course at Franklin College. 1'hen he taught school to support himself irhile he studied law.' when twentycue years of age he was elected Probate 1 udge. He served also as a prosecuting i.ttoraey, was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1850. Then he entered the Legislature, and later on was returned to the Bench. His Congressional career commenced with the Thirty-sixth, and out of the twenty sessions of that body vhich have followed he has been absent Irom but four, the Thirty-ninth, Forty-fifth, forty-sixth and Fifty-fourth, a record mparalleled in American public life. Personally Mr. Holman was of a genial and ipproachable disposition, which lid much to reconcile his colleagues to his course on public matters, notably appropriations. General Miles to Go to Greece.

England at Delagoa Bay. A squadron of eight British war ships arrived at Delagoa Bay, the Portuguese Afri;an possession. The advent of the squadro" caused much excitement.

' ( A Political Fanatic Trys to Stab the King in H!a Carriage?Saye 1 by Hie Coolncu>-The Monarch Arose from Ilia Seat as the Steel Descended in the Coshion?Miscreant Pnt In an Asylum. Home, Italy (By Cable).?An enormous sensation was caused here Thursday by an attempt to assassinate King Humbert, as he * was driving out to witness the Rome Derby, which was to be decided on the Cappanelle race course. About two kilometres from tho city, as tho royal victoria moved sedately along, followed by a small armed escort, a young man, flourishing a petition, rushea forward and almost simultaneously with the proffer of the document darted a blow at the King with a poignard. ? ??W WtTMBWO^ AU ITlTt As the steel flashed not the Kin?, retaining his presence of mind, smartly warded off the blow, which spent its force in the ? i cushion of the carriage. Before the assailant could strike another | blow Qeieral Potrizio Yaglia, who was ^ driving with His Majesty, attempted to grip _j him, but the latter got clear and was preparing to escape when the mounted guard struck him instantly to the ground. The police, beaded by Inspector Oalazzi, rushed up and seized the man, who gave his name as Pietro Acciarlto, aged twenty-four years, by trade a mechanio, but out of work. | The King continued his journey, and on his arrival at the Cappauelle track was j| greeted with a frantically enthusiastic reception. After the races, on bis way home, he was the object of a veritable triumph. J Acciarito was brought before the Minister of Justice and the Prefect, and he de- " ; clared he had no accomplices, but did not , conceal his Anarchlstlo ideaa. It / seems that he had dec. a red he intended to kili a distinguished person. He will be sent to a criminal lnnntic asylum. Shoals of congratulatory telegrams are pouring in on King Humbert and public sympathy is stirred to an extent never witnessed for years. An attempt was made to assassinate Ktag Humbert in 1878, ten months alter his succession to the Italian throne. As be was entering Naples, on November 17. Giovanni Passananto approached tbe royal carriage and tried to till the King with a SignarcL The blow fell on Prime Minister iroll, who sat In the Carriage with him, and the King escaped with a slight scratch. The Prime Minister was badly wounded. Humbert sent Passanante into penal servitude for life, after he had been sentenced to die by th*courts. STATE FLAG FOR GEORGIA. j A Blue Perpendicular Stripe With Red and White Bands Adopted. Georgia is to have a new State flag. Acting r Adjutant-General Oscar J. Brown submitted to the Governor. In accordance with an act of the Legislature, a colored design of the flag for military headqaarters, and the same deeign, with some modifications, will be used for tbe regiment.

Extending lengthwise from this with the fly are throe parallel bands, each one-third as wide as the flag. The ^ middle band is white and thoee above and below are red.

The Mexican railroads loading from the United States border are experiencing a very heavy rash in American corn shipments. There has been a series of crop failures in \ Meveral districts of Mexico, and the corn is . xjj being brooght in to relieve the suffering people. Many speculators are also handling the grain. Kansas and Texas are heaviest exporters of this corn. Sand Storms In Kansa.. For 300 miles along the Arkansas Valley in southwestern Kansas terrific sand storms _trt raged, with the wind blowing forty-five miles an hour. Toe farmers and the people In tho towns, to avoid suffocation, sought shelter in their homes, while passengers on trains were compellod to travel tor several hoars in cars closed against the great white clond of dust and sand that crept into every crevice. The father of 8enator Foraker, of Ohio, was a farmer. He hud eleven ohiidren, and little Benny was only one of the six boys in .1? tkmm irHrfl Ave irirls in addition. IUO lUUiiiJ AMvkv >* ? - ? . - m and money was none too plenty. The boys all worked on tho farm, and the futuie Govj ernor and Senator was taught to wash and * ' iron, to milk, cook and spin, and in addl- * I lion to all this to pick tho geeso at the propI er time of year. His first schooling was in J a log cabin, and it was there ho wore his j famoas coffeo sack trousers, which his J mother provided for him when he had torn < all others beyond recognition. ! According to tho Washington corresponj dents, much of President McKinley's perj sonal popularity is really duo to the deceptive likeness of his brother Abner, whotalces ! huge enjoymcut in walking about the White House grouuds, modestly accepting the homages of tho charmed populace. Colonel Warren lieese, who n is just been confirmed as tinned States District Attorney lor tho Montgomery (Ala.) District, is ; tho first native of tho South to receive an | important Federal appointment in his part of tho country. He is said to be tho youngest District Attorney in tho South.
