recently came to a crowded hotel.

that there was one unoccupied room

that a couple of beds might be made
in the two baths which it contained.
The youthful couple were well
pleased to secure even this shelter

to rest. An hour or two later the
stiffness of the night was suddenly
broken BY shrieks of distres issuing
from the bath room. The lady wish.
ing to summon a servant, had pulled
what she presumed was a bell,rope
suspended over her head in the bath
when, suddenly, she was inundated
by shower of cold water. The
gentleman, aroused by the cries, and
not quite comprehending the position
pulled supposed bell-rope which
he felt dangling over his bath-bed,
to bring him a domestic, but brought
instead, a shower of hot water over
himself 1t was quite dark, and
neither bride nor bridegroom could
grope their way to the door. By
the time succor came they were up

IT has heretofore been pretty gen>
orally the impression that, while the
citizens of the South might be able
to control the negro vote in the coun-
try, the blacks in and about the
towns and cities would be beyond
their influence. At the late muni-
cipal election in Nashville, however,
the negroes deserted the radicals for
the first time and voted heavily with
the citizens, so that the entire Con-
servative ticket was elected by q
large majority. AS there is no reas'
on why this should not be made to
occur in the other municipalities of
the South, it is not at all impossible
but that we may yet see the negroes
vote as steadily with their old mas,
ters as they once worked for them.

WIFE MURDER.-The murder of
Mrs. Woods at Rondout, by her bus
band, was a terrible butchery. The
murderer was a drunkard. He went
to all of bis creditors and paid bis
bills Saturday afternoon, then wrote,
iDtimaling that he suspected his
wife of infdelity He was perfectly
sober. Shortly after he entered the
house, his wife was heard screams
ing, and q neighbor went to the
house, whom Woods admitted. He
had struck his victim eleven times
with a small hatchet, which was GOV.
cred with hair and blood, brains and
pieces Of flesh. Woods then at.
tempted to murder the neighbor,
who fed, wbereupon Woods cut his
own throat from ear to ear, dying
almost instantly. Mrs. Woods was
esteemed as an upright and good
wife.

THE Chicago Times is in favor of
removing the National Capitol, but
General Sherman is not. In recent
speech at Washington on the occas-
ion of dedicating an art gallery, the
General said: Il trust there will
never be a hand to remove a stone
from that building in which were
heard the voices of Clay, Webster,
and Calhoun"
The Chicago Times, alluding to
the above, says:
1t is true that the voices of these
men were heard in the capitol, and
yet it should not be forgotten that
in the same building have been heard
the vulgarity of Chandler, the maud
lin fanaticlsm of Yates. the shrill
clamor for vengeance of Thad. Stew,
ems, the demagoguery of Butler, the
dishonest pleadings of POmeroy, the
inauities of Mullins-who announced
upon the slaughter of a carpet bag
ger, that 'he died 10 the soliloquy of
his own blood, and scores Of other
voices which. have assisted to make
the American Congress a synonym
of brutality, fanatacism, ignorance
and demagogueism. Now, if the re-
moval of this capitol depends at all
upon the voices which have been
heard in it of late years, the sooner
there remains not one stone on an>
other, the sooner will the nation have
efaced a monument of the weakness
and credulity of the people, and the
venality of rulers.

MORTALITY AMONG MoRMoNs.-
AS might be expected, the mortality
among Mormon children is frightful.
The POlygamists are like the old
woman who lived in a shoe, and did
not know what to do with their maAy
children; at any rate they do not
properly care for them. Of sixty
deaths in Salt Lake City in a month,
forty-four were children. Heber
Kimball is reported to have buried
forty-eight children out of sixty
three in his collections; one bishop
had lost twenty children; another,
twenty-eight; another seventeen.
Joseph Smith had six wives, but left
only two cons. The death rate
among Mormons of all ages is said
to be greater than that Of this City
or New Orleans, and even twice
that of Oregon.-M Y Post.

Tom KING'-The New York Tri>
bune says: alt gives US the great.
est joy to inform the American
world that Tom King, late of the
London prize ring, is now the Rev.
Thomas King, of Wales that in
stead of pounding he breaches, and
that be only wrestles 10 prayer. Mo-
tice is made in one of the Welch
newspapers Of Thomas s exhortations
and as we should presuppose, his
style is stated to be Every forcible,
bold and earnest" He will engage
hereafter, only in knocking down
sin, getting the head of the devil
in chancery, letting his right fly at
iuiquity and his left at hardness of
heart, thus keeping the ring against
all evil doers and sending sinners
generally to grass. 1t is pleasant
to read of this beautiful ending of
an ill>spent life, and for a retired
pugilist it is decidedly more credit
able than the usual resource of open,
ing liquor shop, keeping a gamb'
ling saloon, or becoming a Congress
man."

ONE of the editors of the New

Thousands of miles on foot. and
sometimes without shoes. When
they are pear enough to hear for the
FIRST time the four hundred bells of
the city, sounding in glorious har-
mouy, full, grand, and all pervadiDg,
"like the voice of many waters"
they fall upon their faces and de-
voutly offer prayer and Thanksgiving

CAUSE AND ErrEcr.-Tbere 4

CAUSE AND ErFEcr.-There is q
favorite field Of speculation for oer-
tain writer's to ask what would have
happened if something had happened
which didn't happen. If Robespier-
res stockings, said one profound
reasoLer, had or had bot been splash-
ed on a certain occasion, the French
Revolution would Dot have happened.
II Caesars boat bad gone down with
all his fortunes, there would have
been no Roman Empire. If Will
liam the Conqueror had met with
bad weather. EngIishmen would have
still been nothing better than beer
swilling Saxons, AlPthese, or some
of these, facts may be true and il is
pleasant to some minds to repeat the
old adage about great events and
trihiug causes, and to reckon up the
wonderfully small events which, if.
they had happened otherwise, would
have changed the whole HISTORY of
the world. l will not say that it is
not so but l think it gives us bet
ter ground for faith in the future, if
we persuade ourselves that the
worlds progress does not depend on
the turn Of a die or the fight of q
bullet; and that, somehow or other,
we shall scramble on in a similar
path, though it may be we shall have
to make few detours, and lose some
