parents say that their little blind daughter was
more comfort to them than all the rest of their
children. This is no strange thing, that the
parents should so cling to their children. The
wonder is that in all the world there can be
found one son or daughter SO ungrateful and
ruel as to make parent feel

APoTHEsIs OF AssAssINs.-So far as the mob
ocracy of New York city can accomplish such
result Orsini and Pierri, the would-be-mur-
derers of Louis Napoleon have been deifed-
Transplanted from "a foreign to our own soil,
the foreigners who infest that almost bottom
less pit of iniquity, have become rampant Red
Republicans, and in their late celebration rem
dered themselves absolutely ridiculous, and
manifested themselves to the world as intolera-
BILE fools. They would glorify the vile mur-
derer who seeks, in his calmest moments, the
butchery of a fellow being. They have cast
aside and abandoned virtue in their reckless
ness, and seek the glori6cation of damning vice
and corruption. Such conduct should receive
the scverest condemnation from the press and
the public.-BedJord, Va, Sentinel

BAPTISM IN HooPs.-At Chicago, last week,
rather amusing scene took place during the
baptism of young lady by the pastor of the
Tabernacle. The Union says:
"The minister requested her to assume the
dress peculiar to such an occasion, but she de-
clined to take off her hooped skirt The min
lister told her of the inconvenience that must
necessarily result from her obstinacy, but she
persisted. When she came to descend into the
bath the inflated skirt touched the water and
rose up around her like balloon. Her head
was lost to the congregation she was swal-
lowed up in the swelling skirt; the minister
tried to force her down into the bath, but she
was kept above the surface by the floating
properties of the crinoline, and was buoyed up
SO successfully that it was not until after much
difficulty and many forcible attempts to SUBJ
merge the lady the minister succeeded in bap-
tizing the fair one Finally it was effected, to
the relief of the minister and the seriously in
clined audience, who could not keep from
laughing in their handkerchiefs
