MRS. STANTON TO THE FORE.
Repulsed by Phillips, she Captures the Bird

A Boston correspondent of the Springfield Re
publican writes:-
The great event in feminine circles in this viii
lage for the past few days has been the sudden
appearance and irresistible activity of Mrs.
Cady Stanton, the New York Revolutionist.
Since Corolanus ''futtered your Volsces in
Corioli," there has not been such an eagle in o
dove-cote seen in these parts She first ap-
peared nearly a week ago, and excited the first
alarm by appearing unlimited at the Radical
Club on Wednesday, and on the same evening
at the anti-slavery festival. 1t was on the
same day that the scene at the fremont House
took place.
In group of people, as the story goes, niece
of Wendell Phillips, seeing that he took no
notice of Mrs. Stanton, said more than once,
'Mr. Phillips, this is Mrs. Stanton" and then,
as Mrs. Stanton came forward with her hand
extended Mr. Phillips put both hands behind
him, after the example of DIR. johnson on a like
occasion, drew back and refused to speak to the
lady. She, nevertheless, on Thursday or Friday
went to Horticultural Hall to hear him speak.
Frothinghams lecture. On Saturday she was
invited to dine with Mr.. Birds club at George
Young's and did go, sitting at the patriarch
Franks right hand, and meeting the arguments
of the club for and against woman suffrage with
a ready wit and perfect good humor.
l have said that Mrs Stanton heard Mr.. Froth-
ingham's determined pronunciamento against
revealed religion; and what is more, she op-
posed it, which Mrs. Livermore does not.
The lecture makes much talk here, and is
viewed as something worse than Parker ever
preached in Boston. member of DR.. Gan
netts Church speaks of it as "the most ap-
pallng thing he ever heard" and says that
MIR. rockingham would have been indicted
for such O discourse in London. He would
have been unmolested in the ancient Athens,
fancy, for he proposed building altars ito the
unknown God" as the religious people about
Mars Hill did in st. Paul's time. 1t remains to
be seen whether the modern Athens will favor
rockingham or st. Paul, or ''obey both" as
Judge Sprague used to advise in fugitive,slaye-
here is to fulfil her engagements to lecture in
New England She finds Boston a convenient
headquarters, and if she is aware how much
commotion is caused by her presence she will be
| tempted to come again soon, have no doubt.

What twaddle and trash can ministers put into

Never did we enter upon a new year with more
gloomy prospects than those looming darkly In
the distance. 1t may be satisfactory TO some
folk to know that during the past year additions
have been made to the royal family, and more
burthens put on the people, by the birth of
two or three sucking princes or princesses.
For ourselves, sir we look upon these
auspicious events as curses rather than bless
ings-as occurrences rather to be deplored than
hailed with rejoicing At the present time, be-
lieve what with the Queens children and grand
children and other offshoots of royalty-to say
nothing of the numerous bastards of royal per-
sonages ETC., now flooding the army and navy,

young, male and female, that may possibly be-
come quartered on the national eXchequer.
Many of that number are now sucking at John
Bulls vitals and drawing the life-blood from
his body. Surely, this is not a pleasant
or assuring outlook for, the future.

beaks and ask for substantial nourishment, and
this is obtained by those omino1s gracious
messages from the sovereign, which require her
faithful Commons to make some provision for
this or that prince or princess. These messages,
so portentous of tightening the pocket, will,
fear, be of frequent occurrence Arthur, Louise
Beatrice, Leopold, etc, all arriving at those
years of discrestion when princes and princesses
are made to put their hands into John Bulls
pocket But although the pocket is rendered
exceedingly light by the multifarious fingers
dipped therein, it will be rendered lighter by
others yet to come. This is certainly not a
pleasant prospect for the people.

AN EXCITING SCENE.
A Father Teaches his Boy a Itosson and Nearly
browns HIM.
The MILWAUKEE, WiscOnsin saYs;-

The Milwaukee Wisconsin says:-
Last evening about hve o'clock an exciting
sc enc was witnessed near the entrance to the
harbor. father had often forbid his boy, about
nine years of age, from going upon the dock,
fearful that the little one would by accident be
drowned. Last evening upon returning home
he found that the boy had disobeyed his order
and was playing with other children near the
rivers edge. The father fastened TO the spot,
and, somewhat excited grasped the boy by the
shoulder and, despite his cries, tied the end of
rope about his waist and soused him in the cold
water. As he was drawing the boy up the
rope was loosened, and the little fellow, still
struggling to get the water from his mouth
fell back and sank. The excitement of the
father was now most earnest. He fairly yelled
In agony, and would have jumped into the
river himself had not bystanders anticipated
his intentions and prevented. The boy
came to the surface once and sank again, came
up and was about to sink for the last time, when
a brave sailor jumped from the dock and caught
him by the hair. When the boy was taken out
he was to all appearances lifeless but the father
clasped the inanimate form in his arms, hugged
il close to his breast, and kissed the wet lips
over and over again, while the tears fairly
flowed in streams down the mans cheeks, and
his sobs could be heard by all. Carrying the
boy, and bestowing ondearing caresses as he
went along to the nearest house, the little fell
low was soon brought to his senses, and the
delight of the parent knew no BOUNDS. He

The Most Daring Burglary ever Perpetrated
In COnnecticut.


The New Haven Leader of the I'd inst. says:-
One of the most daring deeds of burglary we
were ever called upon to record took place at
the residence of the Hon. James A. Bill, in the
town of Lyme, on Tuesday evening last: We'd
nesday afternoon, the nephew of Mr.. Bill came
to this city and made arrangements for the ar
rest of the burglars should they pass through
this city. The particulars of the burglary are,
that on Tuesday evening last the family secured
the house, as they supposed, and retired about
nine o'clock, leaving the daughter in the par
lor, playing the piano. About 10 o'clock she
heard a noise in the front part of the house.
Immediately after what was her horror to see
the flash of a light in her room, and looking
over her shoulder, she saw two men enter.
She dared not stir or hardly breathe, and
feigned profound Sleep The robbers then went
quietly to work and searched her trunk and
bureau. After gathering up everything of value
they approached the bed and applied chloroform
to both the girls. Miss Bill had taken the pre-
caution to put the sheet over her mouth so that
she was only slightly affected by 1t; after which
one of them reached over and gathering all the
hair on her head in his hand proceeded to saw
it off with dull knife close to the scalp! The
brave girl perfectly conscious, and fearing if
she gave the least sign of consciousness she
would be killed, supported this torturing opera
ton without finching.
AS soon as they had left the room, Miss Bill
screamed for help. On coming 10 her assistance,
as Mr.. Bill and his two sons did instantly, it was
difficult for them to believe that she was not in
sane, her appearance was so changed by the loss
OF her hair and by her terrible fright. They soon
comprehended the situation, but the robbers had
fed, and no trace of them could be discovered.
But it was found that they had ransacked the
house before entering the girls room, and had
collected their booty in front room on the main
floor They had secured it in a buffalo robe and
horse blanket. All the silverware and all the
small articles of value which they could find in
the house had been there collected ready for
removal, but their exit was SO sudden and evil
IDENTIFY unexpected, that they had no time to take
itwith them. The watch and jewelry, and the
hair they cut from Miss Bells head, were all
strewed upon the hall floor in their flight. They
escaped from chamber window on a piazza
from which they jumped to the ground

HARRISBURG, Feb. 4.-The proceedings consisted
principally of unmportant reports OF committees.
House.
1t was apparent at the opening OF the morning
session that the Republican members would use all
possible efforts to reach the Metropolitan Police bill
on the third reading. 1t was equally apparent that
OF parliamentary delay to prevent the House frem
reaching the order OF bills third reading before
the hour OF adjournment, noon. The Republicans
had not suficent majority to set aside the regu-
lar orders, which were as follows-Flrst petitions;
second, resolutions third, bills ntrodnced fourth,
but there seemed to be an understanding among
the Republicans to hurry matters along by not pre-
senting any papers The Democrats, The contrary,
offered as many petitions and other papers poss
BILE and called for the reading OF home OF them in
full.
At 1910 A. NJ, Mr.. Davis moved to consider the
Police bill Not agreed to, there not being two-thirds
In favor OF breaking the orders. The Democrats con-
tnued tEeir dilatory tactics at IL O'clock when reso
lutions were in order.
Mr.. Webb moved that when the House adjourned
opposed, and the yeas and nays were called. After
the call of names had been commenced, the resou-
tion was withdrawn by Mr.. Webb.
The Speaker then recognizes Mr.. Davis, Rep, who
offered q resolution
Mr.. Brown, Dem, raised the point of order that it
was impossible for Mr. Webb to withdraw his resolu-
ton after the yeas and nays had been called upon it,
The Speaker decided that the point OF order was
raised too late and the resolution of Mr. Davis was
read This provided that all resolutions OF the
House which provided for adjournment at noon TO-
day be rescnded, and that the session be prolonged
until all the regular orders we're gone through with
Mr. Hall moved to amend by adjourning at 1870
A. N. 1t was now ITO A NJ. ....t-
The amendment was defeated by SO Republican
nays to 80 Democratic ayes.
Mr.. Davis called the previous question, preventing
all debate and all amendments and 1t was sustained
by the necessary number OF Republicans.
Mr.. Joseph then called the ayes and nays as to
whether the question should now be taken upon the
resolution, and it was decided in the Affirmative.
Ayes, 5S Republicans; nays 80 Democrats
The vote was then taken ON the resolution extend
ing the hour Of adjournment, but before the result
was announced, Mr.. Brown raised point Of order,
that 1t took twO-thirds vote.
The Speaker decided that simple resolution
could be carried by a simple majority, there being
no standing rule OF the House providing for an adj
journment, but only simple resolution.
The hour was extended by vote OF bS Republi-
cans to 80 Democrats.
The Police Bill will therefore come up before the
adjournment to-day, and will pass and be sent to
the Governor this afternoon.

visit 60 the Forts In New York Harbor-A
Pleasant Day and social, Festive Evening
An Amusing Hoax at the Tombs.
Prince Arthur breakfasted at a much earlier
hour than usual yesterday morning, in order to
accompany Major-General Mcdowell in a tour
of inspection to the forts of New York harbor.
For this occasion the steamer Minnebanock had
been engaged, and quite crowd gathered at the
Government dock near the Battery, where she
was lying to witness the departure.
On board, everything was prepared for his re-
ception; the cabins having been appropriately
decorated, while q liberal supply of refresh
ments were secured. About IL o'clock the
Prince, accompanied by his staff, made his APP
pearance, and was greeted with loud cheers,
which he acknowledged by gracefully raising
his hat and bowling.
FAMILIAR AIR.
As he stepped on board the English flag was
hOisted, and the band played "God save the
Queen" the crowd again cheering as the vessel
was cast off. Besides the many ladies and gen.
tlemen on board as invited guests, there were
General Mcdowell, General Ingalls,, Admirals
Stringham and Godon, Colonel Perry, and
several other officers all arrayed in full dress
AT eovERSoR's ISLAND.
Governors Island was first visited, where a
royal salute was fired, and in turns Forts Hamil-
ton, Richmond, Wadsworth, and Columbus were
inspected, the garrison at each place turning out
to receive the distinguished visitors A lunch
was partaken of at Fort Wadsworth. The Prince
expressed great pleasure with the trip, and
showed no little interest in, and knowledge of,
military matters. .n
BACK AGAIN.
The party returned to the city about o'clock,
when his Highness, after returning to the Bre-
WORT House, visited the residence of Mr. August
Belmont, where he arranged to dine. In the
evening he attended the charity ball at the
Academy of Music.
PROPOSED VISIT.
1t is stated that the Prince WILL within few
days, visit Mrs. Harriet Lane johnson, niece of
ex-President Buchanan, at Wheatland, near
: Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and fitting prepara-
tions have already been made for his reception.
Mrs. johnson was at the head of her uncles
establishment while he was American Minister
10 London in 1854, 1855, and part of 1885, At
that time the Prince was but six years old
HOAX AT THE ToMBs.
Ten handsomely-dressed young gentlemen
appeared at the Tombs yesterday, and requested
alook at the Interior 1t was soon whispered
around that one was Prince Arthur, and every
attention was paid to the visitors, prominent
official connected with the prison volunteering
to show them everything of curious or historic
interest. On taking their departure the gentle
men thanked their polite conductor, and pre-
sented their cards, when, to the astonishment
and chagrin of the official he found that there
had been mistake, the name of the Prince not
appearing on either card.
