CINDERELLA.-Th story Of Cinderella is IA
miliar 20 every one, and yet there arc few that
treasure it up as in any respect true But it
has foundation and reality that really need
no fairy godmother, with her pumpkin and her
rats, to make az entertaining tale. 1t Is as fol-
lows:
''Iu about the year 1880, French ac,Or by
the name OF Thevenard lived in Paris. lie
was rich and talented, but he had no wife, and
we may believe he never loved any one, but
gave all his affection to those ideal characters
he could represent so finely on the stage. One
day, as he was walking lesurely along the
streets of Paris, he came upon q cobbler' 5
STALL and his eye was attracted by dainty lit
tie shoe which lay there waiting TOR repairs
His imagination began Immediately to form
the little foot that must fit such little SHOE
lie examined it well, but only to admire it
more and more. He went to tho stall of the
cobbler again, but could learn nothing with re-
gard to the owner of the shoe. This only in
creased his eagernesS, and made him more de-
termined to know to whom it belonged. Day
by day he was disappointed, but he was not dis
couraged. AT last the little foot needed the
little shoe, and Thevenard met the owner q
poor girl whose parents belonged to the hum
best class. But the ardent actor thought not
OF caste OF family. His heart had already pro-
nOunced the little one his wife. He married
the girl, with no question Of what people would
say, and felt JOY enough in hearing the tread OF
the light, nimbc feet through his silent rooms,
to pay him for the sacrifice of peoples appro,
val This is tho true story OF Cinderella, and
from which the child romance sprang.

CosrLY SPoRT.-The Supreme Judicial
court, in session at Dover, week before last,
was occupied three days with the trial OF the
case OF Kicker vs.. Freeman-an action brought
By the plaintiff against the defendent for injur,
les sustained eleven years ago, when the par
ties were school boys of about twelve years OF
age. The evidence showed that during the
recess OF the school which they attended, the
boys we're skylarking" on the stairs, in the
course Of which Freeman threw Kicker so
violently that he fell upon some hooks in the
wall, one Of which entered his neck and did
him 50 much injury that he has never recover
ed from the effects OF it. The damages were
laid at s., 900, and the action has been defer
red till thiN late day when the parties became
of age. The jury rendered verdict for the
plaintiff, and gave him damages to the amount
of $3.50. No malice was imputed to the dc
iendant, but he act for which he is made to
pay so smarty was the result of the rough
play in which school boys frequently indulge.

NEW YORK ELECTION FRAUDS

The tritc proverb that " the darkest
hour is just before day." mus, certainly
be verified in the case OF the last New
York elections. The report of the Con-
gressional Committee, appointed at the
request Of the New York Union League,
was presented to Congress February
cath, and it reveals an extent of politi-
cal corruption and infamy which, al
though we'll understood already by
those whose special attention has long
been directed to the subject, will startle
and amaze tho masses'of the people oil
this country.
The Congressional report shows only
q part Of this odious picture, but it is
more than enough to make men shudder
for the future OF this country, and for
the perpetuity Of republican institu-
tons. Unless radical reform shall
spring out of this sink Of political cor.
ruptiou, it must inevitably spread its
poison through the whole body-politie,
with a result which can bring nothing
but national decay and death.
Every imaginable form of fraud ap-
pears to have been perpetrat0d by the
Democratic managers of the New York
elections last fall, and that Of n most
gigantic scale. Men voted from two to
forty times; the naturalization Of for
eignors was made the merest farce, q
single Court issuing 2,l09 papers in a
single day, nearly q thousand on another
day, and averaging 7ls per day for q
month. In the Supreme Court, 27,07s
blank certificates are wholly uuaccount-
cd for, and the committee estimate, from
tho evidence before them, that over
sirty-eght thousand fraudulent certificates
were issued by Democratic Judges and
committees, while there is no evidence
of any Republican Judge having granted
one. These are but specimens Of the
monstrous frauds by which New York
was carried by the Democracy last fall,
and it is against such outrages upon
American liberty that the country needs
and demands to be protected. Such a
vast conspiracy as this, embracing MS it
undoubtedly does, nearly every promi-
lent Democratic official Of the city Of
New York, is an appalling thing to en-
counter. The Republicans OF New York
are powerless to punish these crimes,
for the government of the State, the
Courts and the officers of justice are
nearly all Of them parties to these out
rageous offonses against law aud COM
mon deccncy. The appeal is necessarily
to Congress, and the next Congress must
take the subject up, with tho serious
determination to put an effectual end to
such iniquities.

VELocIpEDEs.-The attention Of in
ventors seems at present to be directed
to the construction Of volocipedes, and
new machines of every description arc
reported. Thus, q New York mechanic
has devised a monocyclc, or single ma
chine, which consists Of t. wheel eight
feet in diameter, with u tire six inches
wide, or two narrow tires on its outer
edges, with two sets of spokes connect.
ing with q double center, which fills the
place Of q hub, the two sides of which
are two feet and a half apart. The
operator is in the middle, and propels
the wheel by a simple yet curious appa-
ratus, in which both his weight and his
muscle are brought into play.
In Detroit a three-wheelcd velocipede
has made its appearance, which is de-
scribed rs follows: The wheels re
forty-two inches in diameter, and are
propelled by means of a double hand
crank, no treadle being used. On each
side Of tho hub Of the forward wheel is
a g~rooved pulley, and attached to the
straight portion Of the crank are two
more pulleys, the four being connected
by belts. At each revolution of the
pullcys the vehicle is propelled n dis
lance of sixteen and q half feet, and
when nm ordinary rate Of speed is at
tanned, it runs quite easily. Its weight
is forty-nine pounds, and the inventor
claims that it will sustain two hundred
mounds,

TENURS OF OFrIcE.-The Senate has
. passed the bill amending the Tenure OF
Office Act, reported by Trumbull, from
the Judiciary Committee "a sketch OF
the provisions of which is given in our
dispatchss). President Grant is re-
ported as satisfied with the bill. 1t was
passed by the Senate by a vote of 81 to
10, and will undoubtedly pass the
House. The following named Republic
can Senators voted against it: Fesseu-
den, Fowler, Grimes, Mcdonnell, Ross,
Sprague and Warner. The amendatory
bill gives the President absolute control
Of the Cabinet appointments, allowing
him to appoint and dismiss at pleasure.
1t provides that the President shall not
make absolute removals of any other
than Cabinet officers during the session
OF Congress-removals during session
being dependent on the confirmation of
appointed successors. 1t provides that
the President may suspend officers dur.
ing the recess of Congress, and fill
vacancies which may occur in the ip,,-
rim ; but the suspended officers shall
resume their places if the Senate nom
concur in the removals. The President
is required, under the provisions of the
bill, to report all suspensions during
any recess within thirty days ensuing
from and after the opening of the sss-
sion but he is not required to prefer
charges against any officer whom he
may remove or suspend, or assign his
reasons for any such removal or suspen-
sion.

RULES AND PRINCIPLES.

There is a gradual development in
human life from the unciyilized state,
what little government nations
may have is by despotic rules, to the
civilized state where the government
is one Of principles and justice. The
change from the former to the latter is
not without its dangers. Sudden and
violent changes from barbarism to
civilization, or from poverty to wealth,
often produce evils. In trausplanting
a tree there must DO a sacrifice Of
much of the roots below and branches
above, and the same is true Of q man
or nation that experiences sudden and
extreme changes. Those who have
been accustomed to depend upon
obedience to definite rules of action for
their peace of conscience, and who sud
denly discover that the law of love,
which is tho law Of freedom, may DO
preserved without the strict routine to
which they have become accustomed,
are in no little danger of installing in
their new found liberty the right of do
ing as they please for tho true right OF
| doing what is best. A certain contempt
for the past is apt to ovortake
such persons, and with it a contempt
for others who still remain iu the state
from which they have emerged. To
compare the conduct Of another with
our own views Of duty, is n Of the
most common and most unfair mistakes
that can be made.
Two great responsibilities rest upon
those who have arisen from the dominion
of rules to a life based upon principles
The n requires the superior exercise
of everyday virtues, and the other is to
bear the burdens Of those weaker OF
less advanced. Freedom Of though,
should produce greater justice, love,
patience and forbearance, or we may
we'll question its value. And as the
rich should assist the poor, and the
strong bear with tho feeble, and the
wise help the ignorant, so he whose
moral character is more highly devel.
oped, should prove it, not by arrogating
superiority, nor insisting on tho con-
formity of others to his own standard OF
life, but by promoting in all ways their
happiness, welfare and elevation. To
educate others to q broader manhood is
the best proof of moral elevation.
Already the best part of society pay
the taxes of the worst part, and those
who have risen above others in virtue
are by that fact bound to lend q loving
hand to those who cannot climb alone.
Tho frugal man is to bear with the
spendthrift, the gentle with the quar-.
relsome, and the benevolent with the
covctous. 1t is in this way that society
will rise and develop. And in this
way men will gradually riso from codes
of rules to those high principles of life
that now govern the wisost aud best Of
mankind, and in the future we may
look for a still greater elevation, when
by training and moral tendencies car.
ried on through generations, there shall
arise q knowledge by which men can
discover right and wrong by their har.
mony or discord with their own moral
condition.

SUICIDE IN ERIE, PA.-Andrew Baker,
d wealthy young farmer Of Erie County
Pa, committed suicide lately. Ho was
enamored Of q young lady in the
vicinity, who looked upon his suit
coldly. On Wednesday evening he
visited her and told her if she would
not consent to marry him he would
commit suicide. The lady again as.
sured him that she would not become
his wife, and in his desperation he lef,
her, and proceeding to his barn, at
tached n rope to his neck, fastened the
other end to n beam upon which he had
been standing, and swung himself off.
Mr.. Baker owned q well stocked farm of
seventy-five acres, was sober and indus
trious, and leaves a widowed mother,
FIVE sisters, and one brother to mourn
his death. His romans were inferred
in the Erie cemetery on Friday-the
young lady. on whose account he COM
mitted the foolish deed attending the
funeral. She seemed much affected by
the tragical death of her lover.
