WORCESTER.
TUESDAY. NOVEMBER IA, 1871.

The New Workers have waited impatienty Tor
the appearance of the Grand Duke Alexis; and
nothing but the active pursuit of Tammany
thieves and the excitement attending their cleo
zion. has saved them from very heavy groans
of hope deferred. It appears now that their
Aexls-festivities will begin at a favorable mo-
ment The election is over; proceedings against
the city robbers are well advanced; and there
is now room for Alexis. One ship of the Rus
sian squadron arrived in New York harbor,
Saturday night, and the Others were not far be-
hind her. This ship was fortunate in reaching
New York earlier than the others, for her officers
have received the first greetings of the Alexis
enthusiasm, without having the Russian adj
miral and the other ships present to put them
In the shade or share these first gushing honOrS.
The American naval officers have been extreme
ly polite to them, it is said, and eager citizens
have made business for yachts and small
steamers, not to speak of what the newspaper
reporters have done to sec, hear and tell all
about it..
We are told already, that Alexis stopped six
DAYS at Copenhagen where he was entertained
at Fredericksborg castle, as the kings guest;
and it is added that he lost his heart TO "the
lovely Princess Thyra," sste. of his oldest
brothers wife aud of the princess OF Wales.
The stay of the Russians at Copenhagen" was
simply prolonged feast" The reporter fails
TO explain how he learned all these facts, and, if
asked to explain, he would probably assume a
mysterious air and whisper "spirimalism." At
any rate, he processes to have an accurate
knowledge of what took place in the royal
DANISH castle, during those brilliant six days.
The Russian feet was afterwards daily honored
by the English and then sailed for Madeira,
which Alexis found more delightful than any
thing else he had seen, the Princess Thyra alone
excepted. Two German war vessels were there,
and the Madeiran "series of balls and banquets"
are described as very wonderful. 1t is to be
hoped that the other ships will not linger, for
this enthusiasm can not maintain its white heat
many weeks. 1t is stated that call day Sunday,
the Russian corvette was being boarded by tugs
and larger steamers from the city"

WALL PAPERs-A gentleman who has had
fourteen years experience on the matter regard
ing which he now directs the attention of the
public, makes the appalling statement that not
only that-aS has long been generally known
green papers for house walls contain arSenica
preparations which for years may evolve poison
Gus particles, but that arsenic is used not only
in papers con tanning green, but frequently, and
even in large quantities, in paper of all cOlors
even in some that are nearly white. AS his au-
thoritv, he quotes can eminent analytical chem

sent papers of many colors-dark brown, buff,
white, blue and various delicate shades Of gray,
drab and mauve, which, from the symptoms
to which they apparently gave rise,
were suspected Of containing this met
al. The results of analysis were that,
in every instance, the papers which were taken
from bedroom walls contained arsenic, and
clearly indicaethat sit is impossible for any one,
professional or otherwise, to judge by the eye
whether Il paper contains arsenic or not
or whether much or little" The indications of
poisoning caused by the paper containing only a
little arsenic were clear in each case. After
fourteen years suffering with few iutelYalSl,
from arsenioal poisoning from this source, the
writer-whose scientific position and power as
an observer is Youched for by the editor of the
British Medical Journal who publishes the pa

contain arsenic, aud have proved very injuri-

A Terrible Accident.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 2-Last Saturday,
near Paoli, Prof. Wilbur made a balloon
ascension. He was to be accompanied by
Geo. H. Knapp; when getting into the
balloon, the cords gave way and they only
succeeded in grasping the ropes. As the
balloon rose, Knapp let 60 and fell from
q height of thirty feet without injury.
Wilbur attempted to climb into the
basket, but the balloon shot up rapidly
with tho aeronsut cliuging below. At
the height Of about a mile tho doomed
man loosed his hold aud came to the
earth. AS he struck the earth be
fell upon his head and back. His
head was mashed into an undistingsh,
able mass, his body bruised and
crushed horribly. The concussion was
SO great that half q gallon of clotted blood
was thrown from his mouth. His body
made an indenture 10 the ground eigh
inches deep, and rebounded to about fou'
feet from where it struck. To add to the
painful character Of the accident, tht
professors young wife and little daughter
were on the ground and witnessed th'
terrible affair.

A Hap.IIazard Business.

We understand upon the authority OF
recent Radical dispatch from Washing.
ton, that the securities of MIR. Hodge,
the detaulting paymastsr, will plead in
defense against making good the embez-
elements of their principal, that the gov.
ernment has been neglectful of its own
regulations, and left the way open to
frauds, for which they cannot be held
individually cognizant. We have no
doubt as to the tenablity of this defense
and that in consequence the bondsmen Of
the slippery paymaster will escape judg-
ment.
The inef6ciency of the several depart.
ments Of the government in matters of q
similar sort has become notorious. II
We mistake not, the same plea was urged
or one quite similar, by the securities Of
ex-Collector Bailey, and we have yet to
learn that their defense, whether it was
this or another, has been overrulsd. We
presume Mr.. Boutwell,, in his forthcom-
ing Ohio speeches, will let US know all
about it,
The bare suggestion, however, of the
possibility of such plea being entered
whereby the government-that Is, the
people who support tho sovornmont
shall ultimately foot the loss, incurred
through MIR. Hodge or Mr.. Bailey OF
others, leads to a very solcitous inquiry
whether, under the present Management
Of affairs, there is any bulwarks at al
between the thief with his plunder and th'
tax payers from whom he steals whethe
We have any protection whatever agains
the dishonest servants Of the administra
ton, who at any moment may see 6t tt
pack themselves off with half o million
or SO Of money, and leave US all to whistl
for it.
1t looks worry much, at the presen
time, from the way things are going
that the country is absolutely unpro
tectsd against spoliation that any ma
or every man having charge of publ
moneys may appropriate all he can &c
hold of to his own private use and go o
his way rejoicing, leaving a WORTHLESS
bond behind him.-St. Louis Times.

The Texas Election.

A very important election IN TO be
held, or will commence, in Texas on the
Sd Of October, at which will be chosen
four representatives. to the Forty second
Congress. There 10 no question ns to
what the result would lie had not Gov
ernor Davis hedged about The exercise Of
the franchise with SO many obstacles, that
thousands of Democrats are likely to be
defrauded Of theiP votes Referring to
the Governors recent instructions, o
CORES pondent at Mckinney says:
"If it lacks legal votes enough to
carry the election, his registrars and
judges can make up a poll. book Of straw
names, sufficient to insure q majority ;
Democrats are not allowed t, erect q poll
book or keep count of Democratic
votes under pain of imprisonment and
fine. Nevertheless We have largo
majority, and will endeavor to beat thcm
30 badly that they cannot but give it
up"
"They have also issued 40 order cha,
no man can vote unles he presents with
his ticket, his registration certificate,
although his name appears on the regis.
tration books as legal voter. This Is .
late order. Many Democrats have lost
their certificates, and will not hear Of
this in time to re register. while at our
last military election q Federal major
sat at the polls and tore up registration
certificates, stating that they would not
DO required in future. Now to prevent
as many from voting as possible, this
other order is issued, that no one shall be
allowed to vote unless be presents his
certificate with his ticket. So you see
some Of the multiplied villainies psrpe-
trated here to carry the elections against
the will Of the people,
Notwithstanding this state of affairs,
so disgraceful in any government pre-
tending to be free, there is SO much dis :.
affection among the Radicals themselves
the yoke Of Federalism has become so
heavy-that 1t is thought the losses
hoped for and provided for by a partisan
Governor, from the Democratic strength,
