Oc ail tree's Salary Caaaot be Withheld. Washington, March 30. Controller Lawrence of the Treasury has decided that the language of the constitution providing that Senators and Represen tatives in Congress shall receive 'com pensation for their services is impera tive, and therefore that the salary of Representative Ochiltree, of Texas, cannot legally be withheld because of his indebtedness to the government. With regard to the two Territorial delegates, whose accounts as United States disbursing officers have not yet been settled. Judge Lawrence holds that they stand upon a different foot ing. Their offices are not created by the constitution but by statute, there fore their pay can be held as a set off. This opinion was transmitted to the acting secretary of the Treasury, who decided to abide by it. Hence Ochiltree will get his pay the same as other members of Congress. Pelsoaed by Her Aiece.

It is fading visibly, but is much higher up in the sky, being now near the Pleiades, and moving so rapidly that in watching at intervals through the telescope one can see it changing its position among the surrounding stars. The great comet of last year ia also still seen, but it is too faint for any but a practiced eye to observe. There is also now -to be seen in the western sky on any clear, dark evenibg what is known as the zodiacal light, a lenticu lar shsped column of faint light, rising up from near the sunset point and ex- extending about forty-five degrees to ward the south. Many theories are given to account for it,- but none are really satisfactory. Future discoveries and labor are yet needed to put our knowledge of this wonderful appendage on a sound basis.

For forty years pneumonia has been a -growing cause of mortality in this country and it now ranks next to con sumption In destruetiveness. .It has been unusually prevalent this year, and March is the month in which it reaches Its annual climax. Although not gen erally fatal among the young,' it is one of the most deadly diseases with which the aged contend, and a prominent physician says that you can count on your fingers all more than 10 years of age who recover from its attack. Few people more than SO years of age are able to withstand it. As a destroyer of distinguished men It has become con spicuous, and its fatality among those who have passed the meridian of life accounts for the fact. ' : Pneumonia is still a mysterious dis ease, and its origin is as much indls pate as it was a quarter of a century ago. Climatic changes undoubtedly af fect it, but the condition of the person is more important than the condition of the weather in regard to its assaults.

The victim was a small negro boy. Ills father bad been ploughipg li a field, and at dinner time put the boy on the mule to 1 id e to the house. The mule became frightened from some un known cause and darted away. The boy was thrown from the mule's- back, but in falling his foot became caught in the trace chains, and he was dragged across the field for nearly a quarter of a mile before the mule could be stopped. : The little fellow was unconscious when his foot was disengaged from the chain. and the doctor, who examined his wounds, found that they were of a nature so serious - as to admit of no hopes of the boy's recovery, giving the opinion that be had but a few hoars to live. i . Seised by a Beagb. r A bold outrage was perpetrated at the residence of Mr. H. B Williams Thursday night, a little 'after ten o'clock by an unknown negro man. Mr. Williams daughter, Mrs. A. Cox, went to the back porch to get a drink of water, and just as she reached the bucket, a burly negro man grabbed her bythe arms. Her frightened screams for help caused the negro to release her and he skipped just as Mr. Williams and other members of the family appeared. ' Mr Williams caught a glance of the retreating form and sent a bullet whistling after it. It Is . thought that the negro's object was to gag Mrs. Cox and rob her of the jewel ry which she wore, but in this fortu nately he was unsuccessful. This is another warning for our citizens to keep ' their premises well guarded against these prowling rascals. llersewbipped oa tae Streets. Trade street, down in cotton town. was the scene of an exciting' horse whipping affair yesterday, between two gentlemen of color. Tom Moore in- indulged in some "sasa" towards a country darkey, who came to town driving a team for Mr Walker Kirk patrick. The country darkey held a wagon whip in bis hand and in reponse to a suggestion from a by stander, he proceeded to ply the same to Tom's back. Tom started to run, when half of his coat tore off 'and remained in the grasp of the country darkey, who fol lowed close at Tom's heels, - crack ing him rigorously with the whip. He followed Tom lo the guard-house cor ner, cutting his liead and back at every step. It was amost thorough and severe castigation and the country" darkey seemed to be satisfied. He used the remnant of Tom's coat for a saddle blanket and drove out of town with a happy smile lighting np his counte nance.
