Judge Bronson's Removal.

The New York Herald Of Saturday has
the telegraphic news of Collector Brons on's
removal, and says:
"Our news from Washington this morn
ing is contirmatory of that published yester-
day, as regards the removal Of Judge Bron-
son, and the appointment of Heman J. Red
field to the C0lectorshp. In the expecta-
tion that Mr.. OConor will tender his resig-
nation on hearing of Mr.. Bronson's removal
the former gen,leman's dismissal has pro-
badly been withheld. John J. Cisco is to
be Assistant Treasurer in place of General
Dix, who resigns the keys or the govern
mcnt strong box to one whose political af-
tinitics are no bar to n cordial cooperation
with Marcy and Company, J X. Brndhead

the utmost excitement. At Washington
the Cabinet are tremblingly anxious as tc
the effect of their audacity. The national
democrats of Albany rejoice in the removal
OF the Collector, believing that thereby is
insured the success of their ticket ut the
polls beyond all peradventure while the
frecsoilers are cXultant, and talk of demon
straton in honor of Marcy's "pIuck" Til.
Orange county democratic convention, held
at Goshen yesterday, nominated Judge Bron-
son for Senator"
With regard to the effect of this proceed
ing the Herald, in conclusion of n long ar
ticle, says:
"Bat whatever way it may turn out in the
State, one thing is certain, and that is, that
1t will ruin the Cabinet beyond the hope of
recovery, through the Union at large 1t
"iil kindle the national sentiment into n
flame in which the administration will be
consumed like stubble. The popular feel
ing will be carried into Congress in all its
vehemence, and we shall see whether the
appointment of Heman j. Redfeld will be
confirmed by the Senate or not. There
are some other appointments, too, that want
the confirmation of that body-for example
such as that of B. +. Angel rs Consul to
the Sandwich Islands, AMI of John l.. O'Sul-
livan, who, we perceive from the same des
patch that Srings the news about Mr.. Bron-
sons removal, has just been appointed, rs
Charge to Portugal. Never was any cabin
ct so blinded by infatuation as the present,
and 1t is impossible to account for their
dementcd course in any other way than by
referring it to the old proverb: Whom
the gods would destroy they first make
mad"
We may have erred in relation to the
part the Cabinet of Mr.. Pierce has taken in
these movements; but no confederation can
induce US to give any approval to an open
endorsement Of the claims of Freesoiicrs
to office. We are pleased to believe, too,
that so far AZ we can learn, the Democrats
OF South Carolina are entirely opposed to
the conduct of the Administration in rela-
tion to these matters, and indeed we cannot
comprehend how any Southern Democrat
could approve it.-South Carolinian.

Herrible Phenomena.

mysterious vault. in which no one now dares
to deposit the desd. 1t Is in a churchyard
near the the sea shore. In 1908 a Miss A.

opened, to receive the body of an infant,
and the fouf coffins, all of lead, and very
heavy, were found much disturbed. In
1916, Mr.. Brewster's body was placed in
the vault, and again great disorder was APP
parent among the coflins. In 1919, a MIR.
Clarke was placed in the vault, and as be-
fore, the collins were in confusion.
Each time that the vault was opened, the
coinns were replaced in their proper situa-

vault was then regularly closed, the door "a

no marks OF footsteps or water. Again the
vault was opened in l849. Lord Combcr-

found thrown confusedly about the vault

" FORGET ME NOT"


You said 81 must not you forget"
When we shall parted be
With joy your request have kept.
And ever thought Of thee.
And should I e'er SO f,ithless prove,
Or so inconstant be
As thee fair angel to forget,
May | no more be fee.
May my right hand its cunning lose,
And pain seize ever part
or my own form if | erase,
Thy immage from my heart.
And may / never meet with joy,
But everything bring pain
To me, If ever I should seek,
Another's smiles to gain.
May l not know another's love,
Nor seek another's smile.
But in some happy place with thee,
Each leisure moment while.
Thus may spend my future days,
In JOY and peace with thee:
And in the hour l thee forget,
Thon may cease to be.
