The train reached; this city at 3:30 o'clock and at 4 o'clock a special train" of one coach and an engine left thd Tenth street station for the scene of I the holdup. The train was manned by a large number of police and employes to search for the dead body> The train was just entering the lim? its of South Ixmisvllle and all the passengers In 'the Pullamn were asleep. Conductor Kcan was passing through the car as was his habit just before entering Ijouisvillo station. As hfS entered the ear the figure of a majj wearing a mask. Jumped from a dark corner of the car, and with drawn rev volver commanded Kean to throw up his hands. Instead of throwing up his hands, he grappled with the robber.

By far the most Interesting bird emblem of a modern state is that of the republic of Guatemala. It lias been adopted as the national crest for so long that, partly through the taste for stamp collecting, the existenoe of one of th'e rarest and rtiost beautiful of the bird creation has been made far more widely known than it otherwise would have been. There Is a race of birds called trogous, most of which have very fine feathers and remarkable coloring. Tlicy are found in Indln and the Malays, but are most numerous in Central and South America. It was from their plumage that the Mexicans made their famous mosaics of feather work. From the tail feathers they made the lustrous green helmets of their kings and nobles. The most gorgeous of all was the long tailed or resplendent trogon,' which was kept as a sacred or ro.vnl bird in the rmlnee of Montezuma or In one of the two houses which formed the royal menageries. Adequate description of the bird is almost impossible. It has a rounded plume on the head, cascades of feathers falling from the* back over the shoulders, plumes falling over the tail a yard lopg and a. most elegant contour. The color of the whole of the upper surface and plumes is a most resplendent golden green,- that of the breast and under parts crimson or scarlet. Such is the natloual emblem of Guatemala. Gibraltar'* Story. In 1704 the rock of Gibraltar fell Into tbo hands of the British by assault. The Prince of Hesse-Darmstadt commanded the troops and Sir George Rooke the fleet, and in the remarkably short time of four days the stronghold surrendered. Many times the Spaniards attempted to get .back the key to the Mediterranean, but without success, though on one occasion they got 500 men within the fort, but failed to re-enforce them. In 1720 It was in the mind of ministers to give back the rock to Spain, but so great an agitation arose against such a step that it was abandoned. There followed a siege by Spalh and France, which lasted from 1727 to 1783. On Sept. 13, 1782, no fewer than 40,000 men constituted the besieging army, and in the grand attack delivered on that day 200 heavy guns, 47 ships of the line and 10 battering ships were employed, and upward of 5,000 red hot shots were tired at the fortilications. Since then the possession of Gibraltar has remained undisputed. ' Wonderful Little Padlock and Chain. In n curious old book entitled "The Wonders and Curiosities of London" there are the following particulars concerning a minute padlock: In the twentieth yenr of the reign of Queen Eliza both Mark Searliot, a blacksmith, made a lock consisting of eleven pieces of steel, iron and brass, all of which, together with the key, weighed but a small fraction over one grain. He also made a chain of gold, consisting of forty-three links, which, after fastening it to the lock and key above men-' tioned, lie put around the neck of n common Ilea, the whole being so minute that the little Insect could draw them over a silver plato with perfect case. All of these together, lock, key, chain r?nd Ilea, weighed a slight fraction less than two and a half grains. Ne?v fEnffland Peannt Mrlttle.
