MYSTERIES OF THE RUSSIAN COURT
An extraordinary statement is made in the
St. Petersburg journals: In demolishing a
wall in the apartments of Che Hereditary
Grand Duke, in what is called the "Great
Palace" in That city, the skeleton Of a
woman was found still covered with frag.
ments of clothing, which fell to dust On
being exposed to the air There is not the
slightest tradition, they add, to show who
the woman was, nor why she was, closed up
in the wall.

A GREAT HIsroRIcAL FAor.-The Gin,

A GREAT HISTORICAL FAor.-The Gin.
ciDuati Enquirer says:
"There is one stern, undeniable historical
fact. which completely destroys all the points
urged for argument, aud made in behalf of
the Republican organization. The sole mis-.
siou claimed for that party is that it is
necessary to prevent the extension of slavery
into free territory. Now, in reply, the
records of our country prove that, from the
time this government was organized down
to the present. not mile of free territory
was ever converted into slavery. On the
contrary, the amount of slave territory in
1890 comprised nine,tenths of the Union.
Three quarters of it are NOW free There
WAS then bat one free State to Twelve slave.
There are now seventeen free States to ff
teen slave States. The difference is soon to
be increased by the admission of Kansas
and Oregon, thus making nineteen t. fifteen.
The United States, it is true, have acquired
Louisiana, Florida, and Texas, but slavery
existed in them when they were annexed,
and would have existed now if they had not
been adled to US. Il seems astonishing
when the Republicans have written so much
about slavery exclusion into free territory,
that there has never been an instance Of it
in our history, Yet such is the fact. Im-
mense encroachments, however, have been
made by free institutions upon slavery"

TAXATION According to an official ta-
bic, comprising eighteen of the States, it
appears that North Carolina pays less tax

being only 25 cents for each individual an

tie highest in the list, amounts to IS per

SENATOR sLrDELL.-The Clinton Cast Feliciana)
Democrat Of the 18th inst, thus aIudes to the AZ
rival home Of our distinguished Senator:
King John reached New Orleans on Tuesday
last. He has been busily engaged since his arrival II
Louisiana in tuning his country organs which &C.
counts for the sereechy notes they have been PLAYING
Having failed In his onslaught upon Douglas ia lii
nos he is trying through their columns underrate
him in Louisiana. The Little Giant is not to be
put down, however, quile so easily; nor will sliden
teachings, in this matter, be heeded by the true
Democracy of Louisiana.
Our staunch Democratic cotemporary is severe
upon King John rather too severe, we think.
Those well acquainted with the King say that, in.
dividually, he is very clever and accomplished gem
tIeman. Now, clever and accomplished gentleman,
proficient ia the art Of music, would never travel
around the country teaching his pupils screechy
notes. Oh 1t can't be- tits possible the organs
may be getting little sereechy, and require ar
ranging and oiling. If this be so and the King y
undertakes the task Of lubricatng them they win be
in prime condition in short order. He is matchless
machinist, and never undertakes anything he does
not know all about This latter is rare and excel
lent quality in any man.
What will the Country organs that have been
playing "screechy notes" do when Douglas is nomi-
mated for the Presidency by the Charleston Conven-
ton Will somebody tell?

AS 1t is quite probable the Common Council Of the
city OF New Orleans will act at an early day upon the
proposition Of Alderman Howell, making provision
for railroads through principal Streets from the
upper 70 the lover limits Of the corporation, any item
Of intelligence bearing upon the point will Of
prove Interesting to our readers The experience Of
Philadelphia in this regard, is suggestive. The char.
ters OF the latter city railroads in Philadelphia re-
quire them to purchase the stock Of the omnibus
panes which may be in possession of the route they
traverse A few days ago there was a sale Of omni-
buses under these circumstances. New ones went off
as low as $l75 piece others in excellent condition
brought only SIS, and some went as low as SIS The
Philadelphia correspondent of the New York Tribune
says that the days Of omnibuses in this city are num-
bered. We have now sixty miles of passenger rail.
ways, and every citizen has already began to bate
the sight and the sound of an omnbusn
While not at all disposed to find fault with our
many excellent and excellenty conducted omnibus
lines, we believe large majority of our people favor
the city railroad SYSTEM and that were they called to
ballot for or against the proposition it would carry
by an overwhelming vote. The only objections, or
rather fears, we have heard expressed, come from
warm and decided friends of the measure and those
objections or fears amount to an apprehension that
the Council may not be sufficiently guarded in the
privileges it grants and that an odious and oppres-
sive monopoly may spring up in the future from what
was intended as present blessing. There is much
in this entitled to serious reflection Further-there
is another point which should not be lost sight Of by
any means. 1t is this and let our municipal legislators
weigh it we'll What will answer for the city in 1883

ONE OR THE OTHEB.-During the reign of Henry
", King of France. a common peasant was riding
from the village in which he resided toward Paris.
Not far from the city he met a stately cavalier It
was the king. His retinne had remained some dis
tance behind. ' Where are yon from my friend n
said the king "Have you business at ParisE Yes
answered the peasant " am also very anxious to
see our good king, who loves his people so dearly
The king smiled and said, g There will be no diff
Guilty about that" But how can distinguish him
| from the many elegant personages by whom he will
be surrounded ~ +" will tell you how you need
only observe who of all the multitude retains his hat
upon his head when the vast assemblage shall have
reverentially uncovered theirs"
Thus the two rode together to Paris, and as might
be expected the peasant on the right side OF the king
for whatever awkward act your downright simplicity
can do be Intentionally by accident it is always
do it. The peasant gave ready answers to all
the kings questions. He told him many things con
cerning his agricultural afairs and relating to his do
nestle economy, and how too, he would sometimes
have chicken for dinner on a Sunday, and all this
time he suspected nothing. But as lie saw all the
windows we're opened and illed with people, and
how the streets were filed with men, all of whom
immediateySmade way for them, he became aware Of
his situation. My lord said he TO the strange COM

said, annie. When you have put your horse in d
