ROMANTIC STORY OF AN ADVENTURE
SEEKING YOUNG MAN.-Some years ago a
son Of one of our wealthiest and most re-
spected citizens one day very suddenly left
his home and every comfort that wealth
and the most indulgent and affectionate
parents could procure, and disappeared
with travelling circus troupe. The young
man was then nearly twenty-one years of
age, and seemed to be prompted to this
strange freak by pure dislike of control
and desire to see the world. Years passed
away and no tidings were heard of the wan
derer, and the parents, now approaching
old age, had begun to give up oil hope OF
ever receiving or hearing from him again.
About year ago, citizen Of Chicago being
in Savannah, Ga, CHANGED to meet the truant
upon the street, and accosted him by name.
The young man, however, denied his iden-
tity, but the gentleman told him that it was
needless to try to deceive him, as he knew
him too well and finally the wanderer ac-
knowledged his name. He soon slipped
away, however, and was again lost sight Of.
The other day Bailey's Circus Company
pitched their tent here, and among the per-
formers was the long lost son, who presently
sought his fathers house in company with
his wife, very worthy young lady who
had been connected with the establishment,
and whom he had married some time ago.
They were welcomed and made at once at
home, and the young man has settled qul-
city and sensibly down after his wander
ings, and will cheer the declining years OF
his aged parents. Chicago Post.

80 Votes.
WASHINGTON, May l1.-Euening.-The
following is the form of question proposed
by Judge Chase and adopted by the Senate :

Ineanor or crime, as charged in this arti-

At 10 o'clock this morning the Senate
proceeded to consider the articles, each
senator having fifteen minutes. 1t will
continue in session till late hour tonight.
The following is gathered from several
sources, and. may be regarded as reliable :
Grimes and Fessenden, in their speeches,
went through the list of charges, arguing
AGAINST conviction. Trumbull and Hender-
son were partly through, when the expira-
ton of the fifteen minutes stopped them.
They argued in favor of acquittal. Howe
and Sherman argued for acquittal on the

CoNFouSDISG FALSE MORALITY WITH
TRuE.-The son of another evangelical
leader is following the tradition which in
England supposes the children of men
who are noted for the strictness of their
views to become equally noted for their loose
ness of conduct. The son of the Rev. DR..
Cumming has passed through the Bank
ruptcy Court, and ut Oxford has the worst
of regulations. Perhaps if DR.. Cumming
had left prophecy to fulfil itself, and had
adhered less strictly to system which is
full of fictitious morality and burdensome
prohibitions, it would have been better for
his son. Sir Culling Eardley, who thought
it sin to pick on apple on Sunday, or
for Fanny Kemble to play Lady Macbeth,
lived to see his child rush through these
barriers and confound false morality with
the true. Examples of the kind are wit
messed SO frequently that here they have
passed into a overb.-London Letter

A MDrAEn.A young gentleman of this
city escorted his aunt 20 the depot Of tho
Grange, Alexandra and Manassas Gap rail-
road this morning, and after seating her
properly and handing her the checks for
her baggage, left the cur to talk with some
one in the Office. While thus engaged, q
beautiful young lady, wearing veil pre-
cisely like that worn by his aunt, entered
the cur and took seat Immediately behind
the one occupied by that lady. When the
whistle blew for the train to start, the young
gentleman alluded to reentered the car from
the rear platform, and mistaking the young
lady for his aunt, hastily seized her hand,
and telling her goodbye, imprinted IN of
fectionate kiss upon her cheek. The sur
prise of the young lady thus saluted may
be imagined. It was manifested by such a
start and jump that the gentleman was at
once made aware of the error he had COM
mitted, but the starting train gave him only
time to apologize. He says now, however,
that he is not sorry the mistake occurred.

The TROUBLES IN THE CHURCH OF ENG
IAHp.-The intelligent London correspond
cnt of the Boston Aduertiser says:
.'of the many points in dispute, the car
dinal one is the doctrine Of transubstantia-
ton. This is preached by at least 200 OF
the clergy of the English church at the
present moment, and they cling to it as Vi
tai TO what they term the Catholic system:
If the clergyman has not the power OF
changing the elements at the altar, ne is
not n priest, and the poor fellow who passes
him in the street, dressed in long and
shabby coat, and who oficiates in a paltry
little chapel, viz, the Roman Catholic
priest, is his superior. If this is, denied
him. he cannot absolve; he cannot excom-
municate. Fascinated by the prospects OF
power and authority which this system
holds out, many of the clergy who once
were evan elical have embraced it; and at
this .iuncture the remaining evangelicals,
making use of large fund collected for the
purpose, are appealing to the law to decide
whether such things may be legally taught
in The church"

Special telegram TO the Dispatch.
WAsHIsGroS, D. c., May 11.-No mere
pen description is adequate to portray the
intense interest and excitement that was
manifest this afternoon and tonight with
reference to the discussion in the Senate
upon the impeachment articles. At nm
early hour-say z o'clock-this afternoon
the Radicals we're confident and jubilant.
Shortly after that period the Republicans
wore elongated faces, and were blue, whilst
the Conservatives were bright and hopeful,
and even confident. Notwithstanding the
general doubt about Fessenden, Trumbull,
Grimes, and Henderson, the Radicals ap-
peared to be astonished at the position taken
by them in debate and directly after their
sentiments we're made known there was o
panic among the Republicans. In the halls
and yestibules of the Senate wing of the
capitol there were congregated the rep
resentative newspaper men, members Of the
House, and others, anxiously waiting for in
dications as to the sentiments expressed
by senator's. Never, perhaps, has such
deep interest been manifested by this class
of men. From time to time messages were
sent by these intensified persons to sena-
tors, and replies received, which were
reduced to form in kilograms to the
various leading journals of the coun-
try. Tonight, in every direction, We
find excited knots of men discussing
the situation, and the sum total of public
opinion is that the President will be &C
quilted. Up to this writing, however, no.
thing has occurred to change the status Of
senators as placed by well-adSised persons
The persons best informed expected Messrs.
Trumbull, Fessenden, Grimes, and Hender-
son, to oppose impeachment. Those whe
are expected to follow or support them have
not been heard from officially or legiti-
mately. WALLACE.

the peace before whom the trial was heard
that General Pierce complained that Major
Putnam had struck him and Kicked him.

An INTERESTING SUIT. Edwin De Leon,
formerly agent of the Confederate States in
Europe, has brought suit against Charles
G. Halpin (Miles O'Reilly), editor of the
Citizen, for the sum of five hundred dollars.
It appears that De Leon agreed to write q
series Of articles for the New York Citizen,
entitled 'sSecret Diplomacy of the Confed-
eracy Abroad for the sum of one thousand
dollars. One-half of the money was paid
in advance, but the balance has been re-
fused, on the ground that the articles fur
nished have not given true history of
Confederate diplomacy abroad, but in fact
we're mere trash. Ne,o York Post, Nay 8.

A DEFAULTING Decentralization. Mass,
May 9.-The accounts of James d. Martin,
cashier of the National Hide and Leather
Bank of this city, have been found to have
been made up on false figures for some time
past, and show deficit of about one hun
bred thousand dollars. The defalcation is
attributed to speculations.
Boston, Mass, May lot is stated that
the defalcation in the Hide and Leather
Bank will not exceed $4,000.
Mr.. Martin, the cashier, was placed un-
der temporary arrest, but by consent of the
bank officers here was released and put in
charge of deputy sheriff.
A. c. FELTON,, whose requirements for
money were supplied unknown to the bank
officers, is in Jail. He failed to meet his
obligations, and thus involved the cashier.
The credit of the bank will not be affected.
