John Ijiiulx1 Itonml Over and Anderson Held for Further ( examination. John Laube.the man who shot Sam Snyder , n pinm broker , so unceremoniously a few days ago and succeeded in inllicting a couple of Mesh wounds upon his victim , was brought before Judge Helsley yesterday afternoon. The ch.irgc against him was that of assault with intent to kill. He waived examination and was bound over to the district court ! > the sum of $1WO. ( In default of surely the prisoner was .sent to the county Jail. For stealing rubber l > oots R 1' . McCormicU was given ten duy.s in the county Jail. Charles Anderson , charged with burglariz ing A. I * . Johnson's room , HM ( ! Furnnin street , on March 'iof about ftJO worth of clothes , was hen ril from yesterday afternoon. He is the fellow who stood off I'atrolnuui John Urwl.y with a revolver and was afterwanl so pluekily captured bv the same oftlcer. He is also the dare-devil who tried to kill Joe Miller the other day up at the count v Jail. When Mr. Johnson , owner of tlio goods , got on the stand In.1 dumbfounded everybody present by being unable to state the exact time when he lost the clothing. The only witness for the statw was Olllcer Hrady. who risked his life to arrest the fellow. The ofllcer did well on the stand , but he couldn't do it all. On account of this state ol affairs it was utterly impossible for the Jury to hold the fellow on the charge of burglary. Attorney Shea , who was prosecuting tlio case for Mr. Mahoney , then called the judge's attention tea a clause in the information providing forpros- ecuting Anderson for jietty larceny. "That's all right , ' ' remi'rked Anderson's counsel , and turning te Judge Helsley he added , ' 'but Isn't my client discharged ns to burglary1' ! 'Certainly he is , " answered the Jjdge. "Then you're going to glvo my client time 10 go out and get his supper , aint you ! " nskrd Anderson's counsel. Oh. yes , " replied Mr. Shea. Then the prisoner's counsel turned to his < lient and remarked : Now screw your nut , " and Anderson started to leave the room , lief ore ho had gone two feet from his chair Captain Mostyn stcpcd | ( up and said : "I want you. young fellow. " "What for ! " linked Anderson , backing nway defiantly. "For a cell down stall's , " answered Mos- tyn , grabbing him by one arm as Oflicer Hrady caught the other. The fellow resisted bat was shoved along , and the further he went the more he resisted. Hv the timethey gut him to the stairway leading down to the cells he fought liki' a tiger , though all to no purpo.se. He will now be put through on three charges , and doubtless lour , viz. . attempting to kill Oftlcvr Urady at the time the latter arrested him , larceny of thi1 goods referred to , resisting arrest on 'two M-purato invasions , and probably for attompt- iu : to kill Joe Miller. There is'no doubt but that Anderson Is one of the most Ue.sper.ite i i-imiiials that ever breathed the air of Omaha. He served novoiiil years In Sing Sing ( KMiitentiary , New York , for n desper ate piece of wurk , unil has also been in other penitentiaries. CI..MIU sirsT ( jo rr AI.O.M : . He and Not ( lie.

The distinguished tragedian , Mr. Frederick Wurde , will liefHu a two night's engagement nt lloyd's opera house on Tuesday evening next , owning with U'l-'mory's great play "The Mountebank. " In these ihys ( of thin , wishy-washy , shitless plays It Is a treat to wittiest a play bristling throughout with powerful situations. The reason why such JHMvcrful dramas are rarely seen nowadays Is the fact that there is not one actor out of a thousand who 11111 essay snch parts us "The Mountebank" without making a fool of him self. Frederick Wurde stands out uniquely as the one out of the thousand. He Is u " Teat actor and always plea.ses his audience. , Ir. Wtmle will characterize Uichard III on Wednesday night.

Kond.d is said I to be an actress who.- absolute rejiose of I manner , grace of movement , and clear euun- ! elation might bo copied with advantage I by many American so-called slurs. She never rants. never ap | > eiirs other than a high-bml , thorough gentlewoman who knows how to sit grace fully , walk gracefully and use lady-like sar casm.

THE MONKEY AND THE MIRROR A Collection of Good Stories Abont Men and Other Animals , CAN SHIFT HIS HEART AT WILL. One ol'the Wonderful Piinlni-tli.ns ol' the HullA Fl ht nllli Ited Ants-A rnmliMoiu ! lor Ills Hog. If any one of a biological turn of mind wants to have u large chunk of pun1 white fun he ought to go over uml ua'ch tin * mon keys in the Hdo , says the Washington Post. The monkey's ( lowers of iea onlng are lim ited , but he uses what budns nuluro pive him for all there is In tlrm. A gentleman ' recently passiil in an ordinary live-cent mlr- 1 ror with u tinfoil back. It fell to Ihe lot of n i long-lulled monkey with icru points und wat- 1 teau plaits around his eais. He hulked in ] and got mud. It WHS Ihe llrst lime he had i ever seen himself. ind the Iniuplnrd rival was so darned hiindsnme that a pang of Involun- I tury jealousj shut through hl quadnimiinous ; bosom. He wint on a hi.nl. Holding the | glass very still , he would suddenly jerk it i down and look for the rivid. No rival. j Then he held the glass still and ducked his , head quickly. Therhal durkcil us qulikly 1 us he did. Then he gicw cunning. He \vould peep slyly. The glass- was allowed to ' glide Imperceptibly to one side. It was of no , avail. Then the monkey reached one of his hairy paws steiOthlly up to the glass and I made u sudden smitch behind it. No game. ! That monkey bruin was lining im-iit work. i It was a Napoleonic monkey that was con spiring ngaiiisl the apparition. It was evi dent Unit the monkey In the glass was nn 1 active dodger , that he couldn't be caught by activity. He must be trapped by strategy. Phleing the glacs on the lloor of the cage the ( ( could be beneath II. Then he looked : there was the other chap as large as life and ns Impudent us ever. He iminted a linger : so did tlio other. Number one prinned. chat tered und frowned : likewise did number two. It was no use. It was as if a human being were confronted with indisputable evidence | of the existence of u fourth dimension in J space , and wen- trying to mentally grasp n conception of its exact significance. Uut Ihe ecru philosopher never said surrender. After } his gray matter hud rested a bit he picked up i the glass and looked again. There was that ' same old monkey , linking very tlioughlful j and morose. He held him a prisoner inrainst ' his stomach nnd carefully picked tlie tinfoil I off the back of Ihe glass. This did not reveal the prisoner. Hut he was equal to the i-mer- j gency. That infernal monkey , he urcuod , was evidently between the back and the front 1 of the glass. He might be Hatter than a pan cake , but there he was. - \ loin. black linger worked around to the rear of the enemy. A vicious scratch with a grimj Huge mail. That ! fetched him. The monkey showed up with n ; gash straight across his nose. Another ! The ' , pit of his .stomach was gone. All fourlintrcrs j at once. The buttle looked like Kihiiin alter , the thirty-second round. He Inn' him. In | less than a minute tint monkey , who had t.o I foolishly invited destruction , was annihilated. I The ecru monkey had what was left ol the ' mirror in the straw , arid went off in triumph ; to hang from the perch by tin-tip of his pen 1 d'arnie blue tail. I * I "Elm. " the well known Anglo-Indian nat uralist , has just contributed in the naUn-.il j history society of Bombay an interesting and , characteristic paper on the habit of the ixd ' aiit. That the scientific name of this insect should be "the emerald lint"ciimponolus ( smaragdinus ) he conceives , may have arisen ! from tlie fact that the llrst specimen which i found its way tu Eurojie was u queen , for she ' is green and a handsome and striking insect. i says Ihe Si. James Gazelle. Alter discuss- I ing the red nnt at home. "Elm" gives some j instances from his own observation of its rc- | nmrkuble ferocity and courage. ' He says : "Tlie shepherd inXo'ctes Ambrosiame' says that the wasp is Ihe only of God's creatures which is eternally out ol temper. But the shepherd did not know the red nnt : nor did I till lately. I thought I did. and by painful experiemi' , too. 1 had often hail reason to notice how they appear to huvo intimation before hand of your Intention to pass that way. How they run down eve IT brunch that stretches across the prth unit wait with jaws extended : how they liing themselves on you or drop from above , and scorning to waste their strength on your hater or clothes , find out the back of your neck 1 and bury their long sickle-shaped mandibles in your flesh ; but I lately discovered that all this is only the A. H. C of their ferocity. One evening 1 foun 1 thai a countless multitude of red ants hud collected about two trees clo.se to my tent und wore making a thoroughfare of one of my ropes. 1 thought it best to discour age tins , so 1 got SOUK kerosene oil. Ihe best antidote I know for insert ] H > sts of any kind , and dipping a feather into it. began annoint- ing the rope , thinking in my simplicity that they would not like to cross the oil and would be obliged to find another ro.ul. There was a jwrfect storm of indignation. They rushed together from both sides and threw them selves on the oiled feather in the spirit of Mellus Curtius. They died , of roui-se , but others came on in scores , panting for the same glorious death , and 1 had to give up my idea of dislodging them by kerosene. I de termined to try tobacco , for 1 had always su ] > - posed that mull was the only utiimal which could endure the smell ol llutl weed. 1 Hunted a cheroot and steaiiily blew the smoke where they were the thickest. Never in my life have I seen anything like the frenzy of passion which followed the lirst few pulls. To be attacked by an enemy of which they could not lay hold seemed to ! really too much for them. In their nip- they lay hold of each oilier , and us a 111 ! mil never lets go. they were soon linked together in heads , legs and untcnuu1 in one horrible , quivering mass. I left these , and. going to another place , offered the end of my cheroot with about nn inch of ash on it. Several seized instantly. The bout killed them , but others laid hold of their charred limbs and by their united strength they positively wrenched off the nsh which remained liungiinr trom the tent rope by their jaws , while scores hurried from both sides with fiendish fury to help in wor rying it. I then presented the hot i nil. The foremost ant ordeied battle without a moment's hesitation and perislii-d with a Hz/ , but another nnd another followed , and I t-nw plainly that I was boat MI uenm. fn the cheroot was going out , whitheir ! fui'xiih burned the more fiercely 1 retired , and after taking counsel with the cuptHln of my -guard , made a torch of straw and patiently smoked them to dcHth nil along the rope. Then 1 attacked the root of u tree-where they were thickest and left nothing but a black wu.ste. Half uu hour Inter fresh myriads were carrying off the churivd remain * of their i-oiiimdcs. They ti > ok them up the tree toward their nest , whether for food or burial rites 1 cannot ny. It was now getting dark , so I guve up my on- teprise. but liofoiv going to bed I brought sut u hintein und found them ciilmly passing up und down my tent ro | > e.s us before. I hud done everything 1 could short of hurnlni : down my tent , und they remained musters of the field. ' SupHisoyou | saw a man shift his heart from tli.1 Ion to the right sldel Would you not MI.V It was wonderful ; Well , that is what Goorco Lomnie did ut the Quliicy house yesterday , suys the llinton Globe. He did more. With iierfivt ease he dislocated every Joint In his body at will , causing several distinguished physicians \ \ ho were present to declare him the greatest anatomical wonder they ever heard of. Mr. Lomnie came to Boston from London some time ago to visit friends , and during his brief stay l > etruyoil his marvelous tmwer.

While walking in the parlor preparatory to dinner the honored guest kindly \olnnti-eivd to Illustrate his remarkable powcix Stand ing erect he drew in his breath , and In : with automatic facility , the heart shifted , and. although far across the median line.ou could hear its distinct pulsations.

A ciiri'ius freak of lightning diirini ; a re cent storm was played on a woman nuincd Ellen Harnos. a laundress , living in the su burbs of this plain1. She hud stepped to the door and stood holding it ajar , wateliinir the storm , when she was struck by the lightning und knocked senseless , says a Petersburg siH-H-ial to the Philadelphia Times. She was alone at the time except for a child a few month old , but a ncighl > or from her window saw the woman fall , mid. during the storm , mil to her assistance and suecccdi-d In re suscitating her after some time. Though unable to speak for hours she was apparently unhurt by the shock , but n part of her hair was turned a diurzllng white l.y the electricity and killed to the very roots. A ' distinct 'line of demarcation separates the dead white hair from the living and black strand1" . This line does not run exactly down the middle of the head , but alxitit an inch and a quarter to one side. A remarkable feature of the occurence is that tlie woman says that ns she was struck she was conscious of u terrible p.mg in the side of her head , which is unchanged , und re- membei-s no particular sensation in ll e other. She is inconsolable over her strange deform ity , as the physicians hero give her no hope that new and black hair will ever grow again on the effect ill side of her head , but endeavor lo comfort her by tlie unanimous opinion that she owes her life , and at any rate her reason , to the thickness of her locks , whii-h prevents ! the brain from fi-oling the full force of the shock. What a Hey Shoiihl Know at Proxident Dwight In the April Forum : A youth of eighteen who is to Iiavo tin- best chances xhould know how to study and how to do il with enthu-iasm al-o. because he has learned tlio loxxoii at least live years before. Enthusiasm , guided and controlled by knowledge as to the use of the powerx. is the true lift1 of a living man. alive with' tlio spiritual forces. Everything el.-o is in sleo ] ) , or is dead. J inalvo my starting ] > oint and my guid ing thought , Iho thought that he xhould learn how to study , and should gain en thusiasm at the beginning. in tlie lir.st place , as 1 thinU. the study of language may be most hopefully and suceexxfully xlartfd in tln\-e rarliext years. The boy moves joyously vrhorc the man finds only labor ami wt'-afines- . The childreii of our households today may gain the xame tiling that we gained at live and twenty , and far more than we gained , when they are tenor twehe ; and the pi-ogress is like the joyful song of their childhood , when they an ; led along the rational method. They grow up into French or German , ax it woreas they grow up into English , and talk.and read , and -ing in these languages , ju.-t as they do in their own. Why xhould they not breathe in enthuxiaxin with every breath of their learning ? ll wa- witlui great price , indeed , that we ob tained this fret'doin. But they were free born. Let inn say bore that in my judgment every boy 'who has the boxl chances ouglit to have the mastery of tin- French or German language (1 ( should -ay of both ) before he is eighteen year.of 'age a mastery kindred to that which ho lias of Knglish. Ho should , al.-o. have xiteli a knowledge of Greek and Latin as will mean power in and over Jho-e lan guages , and will enable him to read' them with ease and with satisfaction ax ho enters upon his college course. The man who Knows the ancient languages ax he ought to know them , will never contend against their holding a place in the education of all widely-educated and roundly-educated men. The boy wlio has the best diaiicrx ouglit. in the years between twelve and eighteen , to beet forward on hi- course in history and the beginnings , at h-a-t. of the literal tire of his own langua < ! i > . - Mv feeling is that the boys who have the best chanei'x should know something of music , and xhould , at least , see the opening of the door toward art studio * . . The opinion is now well estahusl cd , I suppose , that all IHTSOIIS rat ) IK in structed in MMMil mifie with ti n.tn.ro of success.
