The Wrong man Poulticed.

At a famous and fashionable water.
ing place a gentleman one night was
suddenly seized in bed with an excru-
ciating pain in the stomach, which nei-
tber brandy. No. 6, nor any other
remedy could remove. His wife, af-
ter trying number of things in vain,
and having exhausted all her stock of
remedies, left her husbands bedside
for the purpose of getting a warm ap-
plieation. Guided on her return by a
light which she saw shining in cham
Der, and which she supposed was the
one just left, she softly entered, and
was not little surprised to find her
patient apparently in a deep slumber.
However, thinking he might still be
suffering, she gently raised the bed
clothes, &c, and laid the sealding poul
tice upon a stomach-but not the
stomach of her husband-which no
sooner touched the body of the person
than he, greatly alarmed and writhing
under the torture of the burning appi-
cation, shouted: ''Hallool halloo?
what in the name of heaven and earth
are you about there?" then, with one
spring from his bed he made for the
door, and, rushing down stairs, de
clared, in frenzy of excitement, that
some one had poured shovel of hot
Goals upon him. The woman, over
come with excitement and alarm, gave
frantic scream, which brought her
husband hurridly in from the next
room to her rescue. The husband was
so much excited, and also so much
amused with the singular mistake and
the ridiculous position of his better
half, that he forgot all his pains; but
early next morning he, his wife and
trunks left for parts unknown. The
poulticed gentleman still retains the
handkerchief, a beautiful linen fabric,
with the lady's name on it, which he
considers of rare value.

Awkward Result of TelegraphiC
Filtration.

A little incident which happened to
Lebanon young lady during recent
visit to Nashville, has been the cause
Of much amusement to a few friends
who have heard the details. Among
the numerous admirers of the young
lady in question is gallantyoung gen
tleman who is engaged as an operator
in one of the telegraph offices of this
city. Being desirous that Miss -
should see all the curiosities of Nash
vile, the young man proposed that
they should visit the telegraph Office.
A party of young ladies and gentlemen
was made up, and all repaired to the
office, under the guidance of the gal
liant operator aforesaid. After explain
ing the telegraphic apparatus, and ex
planning the working of the battery, he
proposed, for the amusement of the
party, to take off the next dispatch
which came over the wires. An op-
portunity was soon afforded, and the
operator took off the telegram sent by
lady in Kentucky to lady in Texas,
which, complete, consisted simply Of
the words, "Isaiah tx, g." So unique
a telegraph message created eonsidera
BILE surprise, but not one of the party
was sufficiently well posted Sunday
school scholar to repeat the verse re-
ferred to. Determined to know what
the words of "Isaiah tx, g." were, our
young telegraph friend and the Le
banon young lady stopped at Billy Col
lier's, on their way back, and asked TO
see a Bible. With eager hands they
turned the leaves together; but when
they found the place, and glanced at
the first paragraph of the verse, they
laid the book quietly down, and with
very red faces, softly left the store. If
you want to make that young lady
angry in earnest, ask her what is the
news by telegraph.--Nashville Banner.

rial will await the result of the impending
battles between MacMahon and the Prussians,
at Sedan, a town close to the Belgian from

ago to either come to Paris or to follow the
retreating Government to the proposed new
capital at Tours, but he replied that his true
place was with the army, and that he intended
to share its fortunes In what sense he does

EVER since the siege of Paris by the Prus-
slams seemed likely to be one of the speedy
results of the war, the newspapers of the
French capital have been filled with stories
of Prussian barbarities and violations of the
rules of civilized warfare. Many of the state
ments Of outrages perpetrated by the invad-
ing force bore evidence of being either
malicious falsehoods or else the imaginings
of terrified editors; and while the French
have been accusing their enemies of
outrages, the only authentic vio-
lations of civilized warfare thus far
have been committed by the French them
selves The firing upon flags of truce by the
French, which has caused the Prussians to
send protest to all the leading powers of
the world, was disgraceful to the boasted
civilization of France, and the suggestions
of some of the Partisan editors that the Prus-
slams shall be provided with poisoned food,
and all women who do not wear mourning
shall be insulted, are we'll calculated to bring
the cause of France into even greater contempt
than it isat present. The vaporings of the Pari-
SLAMS, with their threats of violence and their
professed determination to die in the last
ditch, cannot fail to remind our readers of the
similar utterances that came from the Rebel
States during our civil war. They are the
cries of mingled rage and terror from men
who suddenly find themselves checked in
what they intended to be a brilliant war of
conquest, and called upon to repel an
invasion where they hoped to be the invaders,
and the men who utter them are the last ones
who can be relied upon to die rather than
surrender. Judging the fighting capacity of
the Parisiaus from the tall talk of their news
papers, the probabilities are that if the Prus-
sian army ever does arrive in front of their
city it will find it an easier matter to capture
it than is anticipated.

CE-MULATIYE VOTING.

The convention which meets to-day at Read
ing for the purpose of devising measures to
increase the practical power of minorities
promises to be an imposing and influential
body. preliminary vote in caucus indicates
that Democratic as well as Republican dele
gates will be admitted and such course
would be eminently proper, because mem
bsrs of both parties suffer under the present
system, the Democrats of Lancaster county
being as helpless as the Republicans of Berks.
1t is said, too, that Senator Buckalew, who
has devoted much attention to this subject,
is on the ground, and his explanations of the
practical workings of the cumulative system
could not fail to be at once interesting and
useful.
The men who habitually act with minori-
ties and who uphold Republicanism in dis
tricts, like the Fourth ward or Democracy in
districts like the Tenth ward, are generally
inspired by a deep love of principle. They
may be wrong in their views, but they choose
or cling to their avowed creed from disinte-
rested motives. There are no Republicans so
firm in the faith as those who have been pro-
scribed for their partisan fidelity by Demo
cratic majorities, and no Democrats so warmly
devoted to Democratic principles as those
who have been punished for this devotion by
local as well as national exclusion from office.
The chances of gaining power enjoyed by
msjorities bring with them eagerness to feast
upon the loaves and fishes, and tend to bestow
ascendancy upon men who care more for
honors and emoluments than principles of
any kind.
If cumulative voting brings into promi-
nenoe some of the good men of both organi-
cations who have undergone species of mar
tyrdom for years, it will thereby help to pu-
rify our politics, and to Danish the greedy
race who have sought power for powers sake,
and who have used it mainly for their indi-
vidual advantage.
BIT. aside from this consideration, the age
