A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-A Newport
correspondent of the New York
Advertiser relates the following as
one OF the mistakes incident to ho-
tel life--when parties are in q hur-
ry and the gas turned of.
heard such an excellent story,
and know it to be a fact, 1 must
relate it. A gentleman and wife,
on a travelling tour, stopped at .
hotel The gentleman was an in
valid, jauntiDg for health, and was
subject to severe attacks Ct spasms
in his chest, which nothing would
relieve but blister, or in the alb
sence of that, a good hot mustard
plaster. They reached the strange
hotel lac in the day. and in the
night Mr.. was taken very ill.
His wife was unable to find any
remedies at hand among her traps,
but remembering to have seen the
castor containing mustard on the
sideboard OF the dining hall, and
being reluctant to arouse the SER
wants. she few down with a light,
and made q plaster as quickly 40
possible. Now the room she occu.
pied Was at the head of the stairs;
on the right hand coming up. but
there was one precisely similar to
it on the left side. just as she
reached the head of the stair case
her light went out, but wishing to
bring relief to the sufferer az
quickly as possible, she went into
her room on the right, as she cup
posed. and flying up to the occu-
pant Of the bed--her husband, of
course-clapped the plaster on his
chest. just as it touched the indi.
vidual in question, what was her
horror ANA fright at being assaiied
with strong expletive, and at dis
COVERING that she had turned to
the left instead of the right, and
entered the wrong apartment The
hurry with which che entered WAS
not quite equal to that with which
she retreated, and on finding her
own man, and telling him the sto-
~, he laughed 90 outrageously 40
to get cured without any plaster at
all. So mortified Was the lady,
however, that she insisted on leav-
ing the hotel the next morning. ~
an hour sufficiently carly to avoid
meeting the victim OF her mistake.

wild charges that the Republican
Administration is corrupt--that
men, high in station. are open to
bribery-that great and small mea-
sures are carried through legisla-
lures and courts by bribery-and
all that. Judging from the past,
though we're we to admit all that
Democratic jurors allege, We do
not see that We would be any bet
ter of if we should put the Gov
ernment back into Democratic
hands. The Democratic party was
condemned by many of its great
est Southern leaders 40 the most
corrupt party on the face Of the
earth. OF present examples Of
Democratic State Administration
We have not as large a stock on
hand as for merly. But that is no
virtue Of the Democracy. There
is one State where the Democracy
is ''pure and undefled ;" that State
is Kentucky. Its last legislature
was distressingly Democratic. Here
is what one of its own party or
gans says Of it We quote from
tho Woodford, Kentucky Weekly
The charge Of corruption
OF senators in the matter of
Of the Cincinnati 4 Chattanooga
railroad proposition has been bold
ly made. The charge is generally
believed to be true To relieve
themselves would it not be we'll to
appoiat whitewashing' commit
tee. with power to send for per-
sons and papers? Doubtless .
| committee Of that kind could be
selected from that body, who would
make a distinguished report and
exhonera.e every mothers son Of
them from the charge, and swear
by all the gods at once that a more
honorable set of fellows never ex-
isted in this or any other age. 1t
is too late now, we reckon, to do
this The Kentucky Legislature
will. probably. before this goes to
press, have adjourned, sine die
God grant that it will. Better, far
better, would it have been for the
reputation Of some of its members
in both branches had it adjourned
long ego, or had it never met. Far
better for the country, for the
Democratic party for the treasury,
for the tax-paying people of Ken
tucky, had many of the members
of the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives never lived. They
have been burden to the Dem
ocratic party. A few more such
legislatures will be too much, even,
for that grand old party to stand
strong as it is in principle and jus
tice May it never be inflicted
again with such an incubus as the
legislature mas been upon IL.
If that is the kind Of admins
tration the Democratic party pro-
poses to substitute, we think thu
people will say mo, we thant
you not any in ours" That il
the kind Of administration of which
the national success of the Dem
ocratic party would place over th,
country, we have no reason tt
doubt. 1t there is any wrong il
the Republican management o
public affairs, let us correct it b,
changing the present Republican
managers-or such of them q
may be at fault-for others. Blu

trusted to our chsf9e for any other
than truly Masonic purposes.
From any dereliction of this sort,
however, We have, in my opinion,
no present danger to apprehend.
at least in our favored land nay
rather, in this respect, / should
deem our ''failings lean TO virtues
side," for there now seems to ex-
ist strong and prevailing feeling
in high places, that Masonry may
not even manifest an outward ex-
preston Of sympathy with any OBJ
ject that is not purely Masonic
however conson ant with its teach
ings and principles; that it is dam
gerous to extend the right hand Of
friendship outside the lodge, and
that the moment We step outside
the mystic circle We materially err
-forgetful that We. as craftsmen,
have to do with ell mankind, tho
more especially with . brother
Mason. II our order could stand
the test eff our civil war, il it could
come ont unscached, like the three
faithful Jews Of old, from that fiery
furnace, resisting at that time all
temptation to deny or ,forsake it,
sacred trust, We need little fear that
its efforts will be diverted from
their legitimate channels, or that
the torrent Of it's power will over-
flow the bank, desolating and de-
stroying where it was intended to
succor and to save.
1t would appear that nowhere in
this country do We meet with or
ganized opposition; that the clouds
of ignorant prejudice that have
hitherto obscured our name have
melted away like the morning mist,
before the more enlightened aud
liberal spirit of the present time,
and We enjoy juster appreciation
in this age Of reason and common
sense. Abroad, the Catholic
Church, melted by the Society OF
Jesus--always our bitter aud jeal
Gus enemies---stili continues to
manifest that determined hostility
that it has ever shown, and which,
I presume, it will always be most
difficult, if not impossible to de-
stroy. From the influence that the
Jesuits have obtained and are still
acquiring in Continental Europe,
they are to be considered no de.
spisable foe. Here, also. we must
trust to time and the justice Of our
c4use, and can we doubt from the
past history of the two associations
which is ultimately likely to pre-
vail. The disciples of Loyola,

our country about forty years ago.

less and on foot, without any Of

entered upon the task before him,
and by closely outstanding his
scanty resources, by industry and
perseverance, giving ell his leisure
hours to reading and study. and
above all, by early establishing
habits Of temperance, and avoid

wreck Of thousands Of promising
young men, he has emphatically

Of his worthy ambition. ,.
The only drawback, if such it
was, under which he labored, was

by thorough scholastic education

Death Of Phoebe Cary.

y
ON the 31st day of July, only six months
after The death Of Alice Cary, her sister,
Phoebe, the lives Of the two having always
been blended as one, departed this life, At the
ago Of forty-six years. -
The deceased was An author whose writ
ings wi i'll live always. There il nothing pret.
tier in our language than that hymn of
hers, "Nearer Home," from which we quote
the following:
+ One sweetly solmsmn thought,
Comes 70 me DER and o'eP;
xyrm nearer my home to-day
Than ever have been before.
--Nearer my Fathers house;
Where the many mansions be-,
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea.
Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down,
Nearer leaving!the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown.
The Misses Cary were both Universalists
but both were liberal and often worshiped
with the societies of other churches. They
are now undoubtedly oecupa nts Of their "Fa-
ther's House" having passed "the bound Of
life, "laid their burdens down." and "gsined
