The lists were prepared; the hcra!ds attheir posts
the court in their places the Emperor at their herds
At SUNRISE the barriers were thrown open. The first
that entered the arena was Sir Elbegast. According
to the courtesy OF the period he as the challenger,
had the precedence. Cnrcerng his horse around the
arena, he spmng from his saddle as be approached
the throne where ChIlemagne was seated, and bow
ing lDwly to the Emperors greeting he flung himself
on his knees before the temporary altar erected there
to the Most High and prayed aloud:
God of all goodness" twas thus ran his orson
"p;tv and aid me. Thou knowest my wickedneSs
and misteeds thou knowest also that am now to do
battle in a righteous cause. Stand by me in this hour
of need I c0njure thee by thy five most blessed
wounds, received for our salvation And thou, virgin
mother! Virgin immaculate mother untainted in
cline thy fond Son to pity and forgiveness for my
many sins Give but the victory to justice this day
and hencef0rth shall be your faithful servant Neve
more shall plumber or rob; but worship thee nigh
and day forever. Amen"
He then arose from his knees, and again resumed
his scat Oh his brave black charger.

Brr--The pro-Slavery Democratic

ticles of Judge Hall on the new Constitu-
ton, prepared for the Burlington Gazette.
Being one Of the old stand-by's of the
Black Democracy, whose position and
party soundness was unquestionable, they
seemed to suppose that of course he was
going to oppose the adoption Of that in

of its adoption, and they dropped him

THE Missouri ELEcrIoN.-We have never
encouraged our friends (says the Providence
JOar1aaE to believe in the election of Rollins.
since we heard that amended returns were
coming in. We knew what that meant, and we
did not believe that The frauds which had evident
ly been perpetrated, would have been undertaken.
unless it were intended to carry them TO the
point of giving the certificate of election to the
candidate in whose service they were made. The
st. Louis Democrat has no doubt that it is by the
amended returns that Stewart is elected by 1874.
while Rollins received an actual majority Of 700.
But this is not all. The counties that voted
for Rollins, even as indicated by the amended re-
turns, returned majority Of the members of the
General Assembly. The Democrat thinks that
the next Legislature will stand two to one against
the " nulliRers." 1t says
The victory, we say, is ours and il is ours
practically as well as morally. The campaign
which has just ended has given us the State in all
coming time. Inc tide OF immigration that will
set into Missouri, will more than compensate for
partial losses that may henceiorth occur from an
incomplete organization in the present Those
who may take fight and 20 off, from not having

timidity and prejudice, but which will gather 10
the standard, now that success looms up above

NARROW ESCAPE OF A DANCING PARTY
The steamer Forest Queen left Detroit on the
9th ult., with three hundred dancing excur-
sionists on board, and ran up to Bell Isle.
About twelve o'clock at night she experienced
a collision with the schooner Son and Heir,
OF Toronto, and received tremendous blow.
The dancers in the forward cabin, one hun.
dred and fifty in number, were Interrupted in
the midst of their hilarity, by the sudden en-
trance through the side of the cabin, at the
vessels jib-boom, at distance of some twen-
ty feet aft OF the forward end, As the boats
closed up together, the whole side of the cab.
in was torn from its place, as far aft as the
engine, together with part of the roof. This
lett the whole party exposed to the open air
on the side. The side of the boat between
the upper and lower decks, was also torn off
to nearly the same extent. A large number
of the ladies tainted, and those who were not
thus employed, were busy screaming with all
their might One lady received some scratches
from splinters, beyond which no harm was
done. Their escape was truly wonderful

For the Spy.


Messrs. Editors I'm the report of the result Of
the playing of the several engine companies, as
published in your issue of Saturday last, and also
in the Transcript, several companies (eight) are
mentioned as bursting their e;--the inference
is, that only eight did burst. But the facts were,
that probably one-half or more burst their hose
Now it seems to me that the report Of the judges
is very defective in this respect. If one company
has the credit of bursting their hose, all should
that met with such result-and. much more
sir, when the height Of the stream was Ueyy mach
lessened by this untoward result. 1t was an &C.
cident which could not be foreseen-probably
brought about by severe pressure being applied
at home in practice for this OCCASION the hose be-
ing strained and weakened. Some companies had
the misfortune to burst two pieces ofhose, among
which noticed "Torrent," of Marlboro, 'sEm-
peror," Of Grafton, "Qainsigamond," of Shrews-
bury, "Barnicoat." of Boston, and others. Now,
sir, if there were number of machines that did
burst their hose, and thereby lessened the height
of their stream, let it be publiShtdm full and give
to all the credit that is their due.

REMARKABLE ACCUSATION IN ROCHESTER.
Much sensation has been caused in Rochester
by the arrest of John c. Robertson, cashier of
the Eagle Bank, on charge of conspiring
against the life of his wife. The accusation
is, that he applied to DR.. Bieger to admins
ter to Mrs. Robertson medicine that would
increase her tendency to apoplexy and disease
of the heart. Or. Biegler, as in the case of
DR.. Uhl and Mrs. Cunningham, consulted
with the District Attorney, and by his advice
pretended to enter into the plot, and, from
time to time, gave him medicines which he
told him would have the desired effect. 1t is
said that witnesses were stationed to overhear
the conversation between Mr.. Robertson and
DIR. Biegler, and that full evidence is obtained
OF the intended crime. On the other hand,
the friends of Mr.. Robertson, who has always
maintained the highest standing in the COM
munity, express their full confidence in his
innocence, and have manifested their sympa-
thy for him in afl ways. They declare that
it is a conspiracy against him. His wife and
her family have no doubt of the utter falsity
Of the charge.
