Grand Sucoess.-The barbecue at Ber-
muda, which was held by the candidates of
the Democratic party Of Chesterfield, on
last Saturday, was largely attended, say
about sixty in number, mostly old fogies,
who listened with great interest to the
"Richmonds now in the field" who say
that old Bermuda will roll up her hundreds
on the day Of election. We agree with
them as to old Bermuda rolling up her hum
hreds, but the Hundreds" will be Republi-
can and not Democratic, as they expect

Saturday night about 8 o'clock, Mamie
Taylor and her step-son, Floyd, had
some words about copper cent; the
mother struck him, and he returned the
blow, whereupon she gathered an axe, and
it, was with difficulty she was prevented
from taking his life. They, however, were
separated. About IL O'Clock she made am
other attack, with threats, to take his life,
whereupon the boy swore out warrant for
her arrest. She was arrested and taken be-
fore Justice Edwards at II o'clock. She
was bailed in the sum of fifty dollars until
Friday next. ga

AN INDIAN SKELETON FoUND-H,-
teyestmg Gonectuve.--Some laborers em-
ployed in digging a trench for the Cochi-
tuate water-pipes on Chickatawbut street,
Neponset, on Saturday last, exhumed the
skeleton of an Indian. Itwas found about
six feet from the surface, and was in an ex-
,cellent state of preservation. The long
hair on the skull was perfect, and the teeth
were sound. The localities about the mouth
of Neponset river were once the favorite
resorts Of the red men, and many interest
ing relics have been found in that vicinity
within few years past. About the year
1870 anlattack was made upon the residence
Of Elder John Minet fhe house still stands,

members Of the family, by two Indians.
A servant girl and two small children We're
the only inmates of the house. The brave
girl placed the children under two large
brass kettles, ,barricaded the doors, and,
seizing gun loaded with ebuckshot, pre-
pared for defence. ssiss = Asfis TO s.i.ls
One savage, in attempting an entrance
through window. was met with shovel
full of hot Goals thrown by the girl, which
sent him back howling with pain and rage.
The other "brave" met his quietus by a
discharge from tho gun. His body was
found the next day, few rods from the
house, and buried. AS the spot where the
skeleton was exhumed is in the immediate
vicinity of the house, it is conjectured that
the remains are those of the slain Indian

p Il II.al
ALL accounts concur in this, that the
colored soldiers orphans in the school at
Bridgewater sustained themselves in the
recent official examinations most creditably.
Professor Wickersham gave them the testi-
mony that, taking their past disadvantages
into account, they were not far behind any
of the nine hundred thousand white chill
'dren under his charge-if, indeed, they
were behind them at all. And So sitter
all, il turns out that black people edss be
educated, as well as white; that all they
need to become as intelligent and learned
as any other class are equal means and OPP
portunities, and last, but not least, that the
theory of the slave power, so long and so
persistently urged, as TO the natural inca-
pacity of the colored race for Intellectual
advancement, was monstrous fraud and
lsehood.-Philadelphia Press.

The Glucen's secriace for the Prince Or Wales.
The excitement in England, caused by
the Queen canccling the Royal Warrant, au-
thorizing purchases in the army, continues
unabated. The unexpectedness Of the act
of her Majesty against the privileges of the
House of Lords, no-less than its magnitude,
startled and demoralized the Conservatives.
They may we'll ask of what use is the up
'per House, il, wheneverit is in conflict with

Ministers, will stepiina and deprive it not
only of theright of decision, but of debate
even. That which has been once done may
be repeated, and, IL her Majesty's conduct
in canceling the Royal Warrant in the case
Of army purchase is defensible,i it is clear
that the House of Lords is no. longer the
high temple of sacred, time-honored privi-
.leges, standing lilxeoa rock against the un-
privileged populace, but an edifice built
upon the sand, and existing only by Royal
or Ministerial sufferance. -

wise enough to bow to the popular will, but

An Important Inquiry Concerning the
Fire Of Sdt,0udy NigM.--Less than an
hour before the fire which occurred Satur-
day night, some one possessing a key to the
building, was seen to enter it, Would it
not be well to inquire how many persons
there are who have keys !; and when that
is done, learn who it was that used one of
them Just before the fire. Let all who
have keys come forward and prove where

night, Who will be the first to acknowl-
edge the possession Of o key, and to prove
his whereabouts at the hour designated ?

A NEW scientific discovery is reported,
dating from Italy and relating to perfumes.
1t is thatnearly all the essences which are
Iusedin perfumery, besides many others,
when exposed to cir and light, develop ozone !.
This mysterious and very active modifca-
ton Of oxygen is known TO- be the most
powerful of disiniectants-the disinfectant
par ercelleace. The discoverer claims that
the oxidation Of these essences is one of
the most convenient and effective methods
of producing ozone, as very small quanti-
ties will ozonize allarge quantity ofoxygen.
If this stands scientific test, and Sahswers
the purpose, it will be convenient to some
times have pleasanter disinfectants than
such as chlorine and carbolc acid.

5 Horse Thief Captured Saturday MORN
Detectives Knox and Dan Wren arrested a
coleged man named Ned Harper, on the
charge Of stealing horse from L. M. Fos-
ter, Of Chesterfield county. The horse was
stolen from Mr.. Foster about four months
ago, and every effort to recover him was
unsuccessful. Saturday morning, however,
acolored boy living with Mr.. Foster, who
had come to Richmond with load of SUI
mac, saw the animal in possession of Har-
per, and asked him where he got him. Har-
per answered that he had bought the horse
at auction, but when the boy told him that
he knew it to be the property of Mr.. Fos-
ter, Harper endeavored to make him keep
quiet and say nothing about it. The boy,
however, gave the information to the detec-
tives which led to the arrest of the thief and
recovery. of the horse. The case was called
in the police court this morning, and after
hearing the evidence the justice decided to
send him on for indictment.

AMONG the many lessons taught by the
New York riots, not the least valuable one
is the wisdom and foresight of President
Grant in ordering government troops into
close proximity on election day, as he was
authorized 10 do by law. But for the pre-
'sence'of the strong arm Of the military, it
admits of no doubt that similar scenes
will be witnessed in New York city at
every hotly contested election. And if the
Tammany rioters are permitted to dictate
who may and who may not parade the
streets, their next step will be to prescribe
who may and who may not vote.
