PORTUGAL.
A Tempest in a Teapot.

LONDON, May 20.-The following par
ticulars of coup d Gtdt in Portugal have
been received here. The movement,
which has been for some time in prepare
ton, was confined to the army, and the
object was simply to compel a change in
the ministry. Duk of Soldanhua having
great influence over the troops, secured
the support of large majority OF the gar
rison of Lisbon. Yesterday morning he
was ready for action, and moved against
Castle ST. George. This strong fortifca-
ton, after a short struggle, was carried.
The Duke then moved at the head of a
large body of troops to the Royal Palace.
The Governor of the Palace had taken
measures of defence, and the Duke found
troops posted and artillery in position to
oppose him. An attack was ordered and
some shots were fired, but the soldiers on
both sides were evidently ill disposed to
fight against each other, and after desul-
tory firing they broke ranks and fraternized.
The Palace was left unguarded, and soldiers,
volunteers and some peasants who accom-
panied them entered, displaying the
popular flag and shouting, Long hive the
King Long live the army and Soldanhua
Down with the ministry!
|
| no violence and contended themselves with
marching through the corridors and
grounds, singing national songs and utter,
| ing patriotic cries.
The Prime Minister the Duke D'Sauls,
against whom the movement was directed,
seeing that the day was lost, rendered his
resignation which was accepted by the
King.
Tire victorious Soldanhua was admitted
to an audience and was requested by the
King to form a new cabinet, which task he
consented to undertake. 1t is said that
seven men were killed and thirty wounded
during the day.
Though the cause of Duke Soldanhua
has the sympathy Of the citizens of Lisbon,
Operto and other cities, the people tool
little or no part in the movement. The
Duke intended it to be surprise, and re-
lied wholly on the troops for success.
What the effect will be cannot now be
told.
Great agitation prevails in the provinces
where there is a strong party in favor OF tn
derosed ministry.

sRE ERA OF THE SIXTEENTH
AMENDERS.

Now. see what we poor mortals who
wear bifurcated garments are likely to
come to in that brave, coming time when
we shall be obliged to submit TO the rule
of the strong minded. Paul's unllind adj
vice to the women to ''dry up" in church
has been made to do very effective service
against them for many years; and to find
an antidote thereto, a strong minded
young lady of New Albany has
been diligently searching the Scripture.
With an exultant shout of "Eureka!" in d
peculiarly shrill feminine tenor, she pauses
at I'd Kings, 2lst chapter and 18th verse,
and oyerwhelms us thus: 81 will wipe out
Jerusalem as q MAN Wipeth a dish ),
wiping it and turning it upside down. I"
As male bipeds have been such sticklers
for the Biblical view of the question, the
least they can do, now that their true mis-
sion is ascertained, is to accept the situa-
ton gracefully, and prepare to don the
white apron. In anticipation of the
speedy dawn of this new era, we feel like
taking time by the forelock, hence:

RUSSIAN TYRANNY AND POLISH
PLUCK,

The Poles do not seem much dispos ed
to take advantage of the permission"
accorded them by an imperial ukase the
other day, to use the Russian language at
divine services in their churches. The
peasantry Notwithstanding the persuasions
and threats of the officials, persist in re-
fusing to say their prayers out of Russian
prayer-books; and the Polish priests are
naturally among the warmest opponents
of the measure. One of them, PiotrOviCz,
dean of the diocese of Virnna, was order
ed to read the ukase to his congregation
after the sermon on Lady Day. He did
so, but burnt the document at the altar
Immediately afterward. The incident
produced tremendous enthusiasm among
the Poles who were present, and Piotro-
vicz then addressed to his hearers an clo-
quent denunciation of the prosecutions
| suffered by the Polish Church at the
hands of the Russian Government. The
usual result followed. Piotrovicz was
arrested by the police as he was descend
ing from the pulpit, and transported on
the following day to the government OF
| Archangel without trial.

PETTCoATs are said to do much mis-
chief as well as a great deal of good in
this world. Hoped skirts have been
charged with exerting an uncommon share
of influence, and of achieving many sim
gular results, also. A Maine burglar in
prison recently gained possession of one
of the latter articles, and made the steel
springs into saws, with which he cut the
bars of the cell window. 1t will hereaf-
ter be noted, we suppose, that hoped
skirts are inadmissible companions for
gentlemen condemned to expiate their
kleptomaniacy in durance vile.

DIVORCE LAWS IN CONNECTICU1

The annual message of Gov. England,
of Connecticut, shows that larger mum
Der of divorces has been granted in that
State during the present than in any pre-
ceding year-the whole number being
four hundred and ninety-one. These di-
vorces were not all the result of marital
discomfort in Connecticut; but the laws
of that State are of such a nature that
the income accruing to it from the in
felicities of neighboring and even distant
commonwea tbs is by no means small
the maxim "small profits and large
sales" applying here as in other cases.
President Woelsey showed not long ago
that the proportion of Connecticut di-
vorces to marriages was one in ten, but
Gov. English's message shows that the
proportion for the last year was one in
four. This increase may well alarm those
who believe in the sacrcdncss of the fam
ily relations, and the more so as the sta.
tis,icians have shown that the facility OF
divorce is not only an effect of domestic
uneasiness, but cause of it, and thai
where divorces are easily obtained there
domestic MOI atty declines.
