The Democratic Party.

Brick POmcroy, in his lmmltable
style, thus answers the Jacobin propO-
sition that the Democratic party is
dead" while they yearly expended
millions, talk themselves frantic, and
belabor themselves TO escape from this
said dead party. 1t has more life in
it than any dead body on the earth, as
is evident from the late narrow escape
of the Jacobins from annihilation. Mr..
Pomeroy says:
Dead.-in Ohio the Radical disunion-
lists have majority of 10000 votes i'll
poll of 500,0 900, difference of only eight
per cent. That is to say over every fifty
four men the Bumpers muster at the
polls, the Democracy bring forty-siX!
Deadi-in Pennsylvania, in a poll of
100000 votes, the Congressional party
have majority of Il 900, or about three
per cent.-for every 80 men Rump trca-
son brings to the ballot box the Con-
stitutiOnal Democracy brings over A.!
In Indiana the Rump majority will
not exceed 81 per cent. of the vote poll
ed.
Having shown from the above that
against every one hundred Jacobin
vote pollcd, the Democrats brought to
the polls:
In Ohio, %; In Pennsylvania, "a; In
Indiana, OCT.
He then states when it is possible for
the Democratic party to die, rs fol-
lows:
The Democratic party cannot die, so
long as there fingers i'll one heart aitec-
ton or love for the Republic as orr

Personal.

We are happy to announce that Gen.
eral Henry A. Wise has recovered from
his attack of cholera, and may be seen
daily at his Office in the Enquirer Build
ing, devoting himself to the practice OF
his profession. 1t will be gratifying to
his hest of friends to know that he re-
turns to the practice of law with re-
newed health and vigor. There is,
perhaps, no one in the South so well
versed in criminal law, while in the
civil branch he has no superior. Asso-
ciated with the General in the practice,
is E. H. Fitzhugh, Esq, late of Wheel
ing, and for long time a partner OF
Hon. Charles W. Russell, now of Balti-
more, and Cap. George d. Wise, neph-
ew of the General, and a young man of
brilliant promise. Mr.. Fitzhugh is an
old lawyer of much eminence, a perfect
encyclopedia of law .!and stood as one OF
the first lawyers in Western Virginia.
All business trusted to these gentlemen
it is needless to say, will be faithfully
and promptly attended to.

In impeaching President JOHNSON,
the radicals impcach his predecessor.
In denouncing the policy of reconstruc-
tion advocated by President JOHNSON,
the radicals insult the memory of the
dead President whom they pretend to
revere, and convict themselves of the
most glaring inconsistency. Possibly,
had Mr.. LINCOLN lived, the Union might
have been restored ere this, and, instead
of being as now upon the verge of al
other civil war, the nation might have
been rapidly recovering from the dis
orders that vexed our peace in the past.

Curiositics from Switzerland - The
Pile Villages.

/
At the meeting of the Connecticut
Stfistorical Society, held on Tuesday eve
ming. were exhibited some articles found
/ in the bottom of one of the Swiss lakes,
relics of an ancient people who dwelt on
piles out in the water. These things
were procured at Zurich, and have re-
Gently been presented TO Trinity Col
/ legc.
In January, 1854, the water of Lake
: Zurich fell lower than had ever before
! been known, the season having been of
unusual dryneSs, and the opportunity
was made use of by the inhabitants Of
Obermcden to make repairs on its banks
! Under n depth of foot and q half Of
mud was u layer of blackish mould, IN
which were found implements of stone,
! bone, horn, bronze and iron, debris of
pottery, etc. The remains of piles were
also found in regular rows from one 10
two feet apart.
Close examination by Dr. Keller,
President of the Swiss Antiquarian So
ciety satisfied him that these piles had
supported platform, that on this plat
form huts had been raised, and that af
ter being thus occupied, probably for
centuries, the structure had been de-
stroyed by fire. The hints, it would
seem, were for the most part circular in
shape, measuring from ten to fifteen
feet in diamater, they were of wattles
plastered with clay, masses Of which,
hardened by fire, still bearing the marks
received from the wattles when iwet,
have been recovered from the beds Of
the lakes.
Further investigations have shown
that most of the lakes of Europe have
been thus inhabited. Up to 1854, two
hundred such pile villages have been
found in Switzerland alone, and some
of them of great size, containing not
less than 100000 piles. Their age is
variously estimated from three to seven
thousand years some venture TO assign
even a still greater antiquity. Whoever
the dwellers on the pfahlbauten were,
the remains show that they grew wheat
and barley, that they ate the flesh of the
OK, the goat, the sheep and the pig; that
among the beasts of the chase which
they hunted down was the now extinct
species of the aurochs; that they had
horses, dogs and cats; that they had
apples, pears, wild pluIns and wood
raspberries; that they baked pottery;
that their women piled the distaff and
knitted; that they made hempen mats
and woye linen cloths.
Among the articles exhibited to the
Society were apples, wheat, barley, fax,
hazlenuts, the seeds of the wild plumb.
strawberry, raspberry, elderberry and
straw-all carbonized by the action Of
fire, to which fact they owe their pres
ervatiOn; and very curious water

Sensation Scene at nm Improper
Place.

Not long since the keeper of disrep-
utable house III the eastern part of the
city, known as Mrs. J. to 'sports" gem
orally, married man named g., and
became Mrs. Sarah V. G. She had many
lovers before she became, by the 'holy
bands of wcdlock," Mrs. S. V. g., and
she retained them. One i'll particular,
a gentleman well known in political
circles had she charmed, and him she
BBestsined as her fayorite lover after be-
meet him at q house of bad repu to on
George street, not far from Linn street,
and in pursuance of this custom tn ey
met night before last. But the husband
who had displayed such excellent taste
and Judgment as to take for his wife
such female as this, had grown very
Jealous, and determined upon revenge
or something else. Knowing that this
meeting OF the amorous couple was to
take place, he had sworn out Il warrant
against the worthy citizen, as an adul-
tcrcr, and had intrusted it to officers
Hefierman, Sypher and Bierbaum. At
a little after ~ yesterday morning these
visited the house and found that all had
retired, rang the bell and called up the
procuresS. With the strong backing
of the law, they entered the house and
proceeded to the room occupied by the
couple they were in search. The female
was aroused first by their demand at
the door, and while her trembling
bcd-fellow drew the sheet over his
head and lay there in cold pcrspira-
tion of terror; this pink of virtue and
propricty opened the door, and admitted
them. In an agony of remorseful con-
triton, and with the horrible visions of
punishment and exposure, the palpita-
ting victim OF bad woman's seduc-
tive arts and peculiar motive on the
part of her husband, heard read the
warrant that charged him with adultery
O, reluctantly drew on his clothes, and,
in company with the officers and the
woman, travelled in the direction of the
Ninth Street Station, where both
were held as prisoners until they could
give bail.
Whatever G.'s motive may have been
in swearing out this warrant, it is GER
tain that he does not receive any SYM
pathy in the business. His wife claims
that she was obliged to do this that she
might live, and that she had been sup
porting her husband with the money
thus obtained.

the mark of servitude and priest-craft,
and is, therefore, zabhorred by the ''re-

ragged, coats of gray, brown, or black
felt, or in cloth, coarse as "Hieland

by belt, like narrow hOrse-girth.

Trousers of the same material were
stuck into brown or gray felt boots, and

sLEIGH-DRIvING.
81 cigh-driving is the one grand, IN
approachable, unalloyed pleasure tosbe
enjoyed in Russia. There is nothing to
compare with long furious sweep in a
good Russian sleigh over hard, crisp,
clean snow, wrapped in good furs. A
great bcar-skin is hanging over the back
of the sleigh, and its apron, another
bear-skin, covering your legs, while
your feet, encased in fur galoches, rest
on doubled up black Siberian curly
sheep-skin; on your head Isl fur cap, as
tall and straight and round rs very
large English hat without the rim, and
your hands are buried Sfour-inch deep
among the sable sleeves of your coat.
As YOU lie easily back, thus comfOrted,
under clear, frosty, bright sky, the
horses, in graceful silver-mounted har-
ness, toss their heads, the bells at their
necks tinlile merrily. The driver, in
high wolf-skin cap and sheep-skin coat,
over which he has drawn handsome
blue caftan, trimmed below the arms
with silvcr-plated round buttons as
large as little eggs, and with a large
parti-colorcd sash bound round his
waist, is q fellow all excitement, of one
mind with the three wild horses, who
tear on at whirling speed, dashing the
crisp snow in showers from their hoots,
sometimes for moment or two half
binding you with the finest, cleanest,
and whitest powder in the world. With
these appliances, and as you see and
feel them all, you know the luxury Of
slcigh-driving. l am not speaking of
drive through the streets of st. Peters
burg, but drive of thirty or forty
miles over untrodden virgin snow
through the forest, when the trees are
clothed in Il dense fantastic foliage of
hoar-frOst, festooncd wsth millions of
stalactites, and when the pure, bracing
air, as you rush through it sends the
blood tinnlinr thrOu~h YOnr veins.

RUSSIAN LIFE.
lntcrcs,in. Sketches.

An exceedingly entertaining ana III
structive work on this subject has just
been issued. 1t purports to be made up
of trough sketches from the pen OF an
old resident and traveller in Russia, but
the book is as polished a record of obser-
vation. incident and adventure as one
could desire. Russia and America have
long been tacit, if not open, allies, and
their ties have latterly grown closer
than ever. The developments of the
last few months, with the abundant
honors shown to our American repre-
scntatives, point to still more intimate
relations in the future destinics of these
two mighty natioDalities. Our coun-
trymen feel natural interest i'll know
ing more of the customs, Habits, char
acter. and commercial resources of their
ncighbors, and they will find this book
admirably conducive to their purpose.
The civilization of Il country is indi-
Gated in nothing better than in its ho-
tells. Our author gives the following
picture of the Russian inn-hospitality /:
RUSSIAN HOTELS.
A Russian hotel, in the interior, is tho
most filthy Of all filthy places; for, as
the floors are never washed, the mud
and filth accumulate to an inch and a
L, Ia IN
walls are black and fmtid; tarakans-a
horrible sort of large brown beetle
crawl in myriads over everything, in
vading even the dishes out Of which the
traveller eats and drinks, and the dirty
deal tables are further defiled with Il
dirty linen cloth. The public rooms,
generally lofty and spacious, are con-
stantly filed with the offensive odor of
the native tobacco. The walters are all
men, dressed i'll print trowsers and
shirts; the trOwscrS stuffed into long
boots, and the shirts hanging outside
the trowscrs: q parti-colored band or
scarf round the waist completing the
costume. Their hair, like that of all the
peasants, is worn long, cut straight
round the neck, and parted i'll front like
Il woInan's, while the beard is Leithcr
cut nor trimmed.
Most of the Russian merchants do all
their bargaining in the inns, and, while
doing business. swallow fabulous guam
titles of tea at sitting. 1t is drunk in
glass tumblers, and the sugar is taken,
not in the tea, but with it-nibbled at
to sweeten the month before every
gulp-no milk is used. The brass urn,
or 'samovcr,' contains the supply of
hot water, which is kept boiling by in
scrting burning charcoal i'll the centre
tube. Travellers may carry their own
tea, sugar and bread, and, by paying
ten or twenty kopccs, will, at any sta
ton or inn, get the use of an urn. The
hot water being brought to the carriage
door in summer, many travellers never
enter one of these places, but sleep, eat,
and travel in their cOnvcyances for
weeks.
