A RUFFIAN ARREsTED.-The notorious Henry
Desmouillin, who has such an antipathy to the
colored folks that be never neglects an Oppor-
tunity to assault them is again in trouble. This
morning about one o'clock Lieutenant Flaherty
and Officer Carrigan arrested Henry at Tenth
and Locust streets They did not secure him
without difficulty, for he stoutly resisted,
snatched the revolver from the pocker of Officer
Carrigan, and, had it not been for the timely
arrival of the lieutenant, there might have been
another homicide. The offense for which Des-
MOULIN was arrested was a most violent and un-
provoked assault on an old colored man named
Charles Amos, who while walking quietly past
Eighth and Locust streets some time ago was
struck by Desmouillin with blackjack and cut
badly. The old man was then thrown to the
ground and kicked in the most shameful man
ner. Alderman Morrow has held the prisoner
for the assault on the colored man and the
attempt 10 shoot the officer.

THE TOWN MEETING.

Movements I'm the Legislature.
Another session of the Committee on Town
Meeting was held to-day In the Mayors Office. All
the arrangementsfo for the demonstration werecom-
pleted, and the committee expressed the earnest
desire that all taxpayers should turn out 10 pro-
test against the passage OF the infamous acts.
While the committee was yet in session the
Mayor received this despatch from Harrisburg
'sThe Committee on Municipal Corporrtion have
Just agreed to report by II ayes to 10 nays mega.
lively on the Commission bills"
This despatch was regarded as o piece of
strategy on the part of the friends of the COM
mission blls, to destroy the effect of the meet
ing to be held tonight, by giving the people to
understand that the bills had been killed in the
committee, and therefore there would be no use
in popular protest against them Some of the
gentlemen at Harrisburg are so expert in ways
that are dark that they would not refuse to
employ any device to hoodwink the people.

and an All iness OF manner, as he expressed his
intention of starting for a ramble and bath i'm
the river, which Mr.. Rawling hadn't seen in
him since he had been in the house.
The news of Mrs. Burnham's visit soon got
wind in the village, and everywhere she was
smiled with inquiries about il. Her account of
young men were bent upon Mrs. Burnham hav
ing the stranger, and rejOiced in the way in
which she had been got TO make the first advan-
ces. while the girls began to think tina. man
rom Australia, with a lot OF money, would
really be no bad catch; and hearing how he had
accepted Mrs. Burnham a. guide and friend in
the matter, they began to pay her assiduous
court.
There were others in the village, however,
who spoke very severely about Mrs. Burnhams
visit TO the stranger, and strongly suspected the
honesty and propriety of her conduct. These
were chiefly ladies who came under either one of
the two denominations of which Mrs. Burnham
had warned Mr.. Harwood, namely, widows or
old maids.
Miss Truelove, who kept a millinery and
trimming shop on High street, condemned, in
the most bitter terms-at the time that she was
actually working her fingers of at pair of slip
pers which she proposed offering to the stranger
the audacity and presumption OF that bare
faced woman, Mrs. Burnham, in intruding upon
Mr: Harwood, and introducing herself In such
do widow. expressed her horror at the conduct
of married woman in running after strange
men, and was convinced that Mrs. Burnham
only wanted an opportunity TO commit blgamy.
The adverse opinions, however, did not reach
Mrs, Durham, and Of course did not give her
much trouble.
Mr.. HarwoOd soon availed himself of the per-
mission Mrs Burnham had given him to visit
her. In fact, on the evening Of the very day on
which she had been TO see him, she had just Ii
died mp her parlor, and seated herself at her
open window, when he made his appearance,
and asked IL he might come In. After this, his
visits became very frequent, and he greatly en-
ioyed the privilege Of dropping into Mrs. Burn
varied greatly; sometimes he was merry and
high-hearted, at otherSdowncast and depressed;
| signing, would tell Mrs. Burnham OF his loneli-
| ness and dullness, and Of his want Of love and
| sympathy.
| Mrs. Durham administered such consolation
/ as occurred to her, and tried TO ascertain what
| friends and connections he had before leaving
| England and what was his native place; but on
| these points he was not communicative, ant
| they only served b increase his depression. In
deed, one evening, when he was In one OF hi,
| depending moods, and was sitting In the twi
light with Mrs. Durham, unburdening hi
feelings to her; his nerves were 20 unstrung tina
he actually burst into tears. All these thing
aroused q strong feeling of interest and sympa
| thy in Mrs. Durham; she felt much friendship
| for him, and decided to afford him consolation
| and comfort. Moreover, her curiosity wa
| aroused by the mystery about him, and by de
sire to ascertain the causes Of his melapchol
moments. Other people who had witnesses
them were equally curious On the subject, an

arms and clasF ed her to his breast.
A few nome nts passed in bs, broken excla-
nations, and inarticula,e wor Is, and then they
sat down side by SIDE by the window, and gave
free course u the Il airs that flowed. He sat with
one arm around his wife's waist, and his head
leaning en- her shoulder. and feeling of rep0se,
after ali his wanderings, came over him like
that OF weaIied child in its mothers arms.
IL was later when they were calm enough for
explanations, and then he told her how he had
lett the army at the expiration of his time, and
gone TO Australia with the resolution of maxim g
money, redeS ming his character for manliness
and energy, and retaining one day his wife
and home; how he had always kept this in view,
and how his heart had only failed him when
he began TO accomplish his purpose, and arrive
labors.
"why did you come as a stranger with false
name ?' asked his wife; % and why did you wait
so long before discovering yourself?"
" Let me confess my sins, he replied -
50 You remember what L told YOU a few min
utes ago about absence, and time of change?
Well, IL was what l had been thinking myself
when determined to come home and seek YOU
out. L sometimes thought you might be dead

occurred. | sometime thought--yes III confess
it-you might be so altered that 1 should no
longer care for YOU, and might bitterly repent

whom 1 liked. But when 1 came as A stran-
ger, and found that time had only. made
you more loveable, the desire seized me to

win you over again. But if you only knew
how hard il has been to do this and how often [
have been on the point of confessing myself to
you You must forgive me, my dear wife, tor
not having more confidence in you; and indeed,
my punishment is great in feeling how little 1
deserve this present happiness in finding, after
all my labors and wanderings, this peaceful
refuge hereS he said, laying his head again upon
her shoulder.
The news of Mr.. Harwood's identity, when it
got abroad, created no little stir in Welldean
Indeed they still relate in the village how Frank
Burnham came home from Australia, after
eighteen years absence, so altered that his own
wife didn't know him.

The Russian Fanatics.

Recently some members Of the fsnaticsl selects
of Russia, the Khlisti and the Skopts, were
sentenced to Punishment 70 Siberia, on account
of the horrible practices in which they indulge.
A correspondent writing from st. Petersburgh,
saws of them:
The Khiisfi correspond, to some extent, with
the Shakers of America. They have similar
dances, songs and forms Of worship, and incul-
cate chastity and the separation Of the sexes In
deed, some Of them, who have heard Of the
Shakers, believe that Mother Ann Lee was
Russian woman OF their sect, who went TO Eng
land and thence TO America The Khhsn differ
essentially, however, from the Shakers At their
nocturnal meetings girl in a nude condition sits
on platform 70 represent the Virgin Mary, and
there each in turn scourges the others naked
back a. they dance and spin around the ring,
until when physical excitement is at its height,
the lights are eNtinguished, and a scene of gen
eral debauch ensues. This is not sin, but sac
rament.
1t was partly to prevent these transgressions
Of nature under the disguise OF devotion that the
: Skoptsi, who separated from the KLlish about
hundred years ago, began 20 mutilate them
selves. The doctrine Of mutilatiOn they rest on
the literal Interpretation of the 18th OF the
18th chapter of the Gospel of ST. Matthew. Jesus
Christ, Himself, according 20 their belief, was
incarnated in the person of hondrau Seliyanofi,
the founder OF their sect. and subsequently I'm
the Emperor Peter III. (the husband OF Cathe
rine H. whom they believe TO be still living,
and about to reappesr upon the earth. But,
beside that, every circle or church has its Christ
and its Virgin. In spite OF the numerous prose-
that Is still mysterious about this sect. and there
Is curious fascination about il that makes IL in
crease. The members know one another under
the name of White Doves" and have many
curious expressions, such drinking the cup"
TO signify the rites of their faith. Mutilation
is also practiced on the women i'm various WAYS,
though chiefly only as an outward mark or SYM
Dol of their union with the Church. The heads
of the sect are enormously rich, rs they can
have the use Of the wealth Of all the brother
hood, and they can have no heirs among whom
to divide il. The trade in money and In gold
and silver work seems very attractive to them,
and the bulk of gold-workers and money
changers in the large towns belong TO this sect.
By promises Of money and future wealth they
are able to attract young boys fresh from the
country, and to persuade them 20 submit To
their rites before they well know what they are
about. Outwardly all conform TO the Russian
Church, to divert suspicion, and are especially
jealous In attendance on Divine service and the
sacraments. Since the Kudrin trial many other
Skoptsi have been arrested, and the richest of
them, Solidovnikof, of Moscow, has Just died
under arrest. He was the founder and proprie-
tor of several schools and hospitals.

is now oak.

THlsoUNDs proceeding from telegraph wires
in the open air haze generally been attributed
to the influence OF the wind, producing the
souE0ngs by direct vibration, similar to those
OF the seOlian harp A different view of it, how
ever, Is given by a railroad officer in the Aus
TRAN Rail'oay Gaeette, and his statements are at
least interesting He calls attention to the fact
that who gives his close attention to both the
wires and the sounds will find that the latter
make themselves audible when there Is a total
absence Of wind, and on epiet morning in win
bel, even when the wires have upon them sthick
covering Of frost, they nevertheless carry on
lively vibrations and swinging, unaided by the
stirring Of sny air The observer noticed shisfor
period OF some 20 years nearly, and at hast was
led to the real cause Of the phenome.on. Ac-
cording % these observations, the vibsations are
due not % the wind, hut 10 the changes of at
mosphssic tsmperata,e, and especially through
the acaaon OF cold, - lowering Of the tempera-
ture introduces shortening OF TIE wires. ex-
tending over the Whole length Of the conductor.
A considerable amount OF friction is produced
on the supporting bells, and this affords an ex-
PLANTATION Of the sounding both IN the wires and
the poles This explanation also concurs with
the fact that poles bearing but one or few wires
give Off far loader sounds than when loaded with
many, because in the latter case the vibrations
produced must be less uniform and stimuli
taneOus.

Toilets.

Our fair friends may well be on the tiptoe of
expectation for the arrival of the toilets men,
TONED In the following paragraph OF the Paris
correspondent Of the London Telegraph The
writer says:
"The fact is, that although French ladies re-
frain for the present from spending money on
dress, there Is greatly increasing trade in
dresses for expectation, chiefly to the United
States. Those who want to be an fat as to the
latest fashions in costly millinery of all kinds
must get an introduction to one OF the wholesale
Paris houses. 1 was shown the other day at one
OF these establishments cases which together
contained no fewer than four hundred ladies'
morning dresses and evening toilets, the average
price OF each being nearly EGO in English money.
Before they are sold, freight, insurance, COM
mission, and something respectable in the way of
Proht for those who send the goods across the At
lantic will have to be added Some of these tot
lets, not yet packed, were shown me, and GER
tainly they merit a more detailed description
than am able to give them. Several of them
struck me as particularly handsome and in ex-
quisite taste. They chiefly of corded silk so
stiff in texture that, like the dresses of the last
century, they might have stood upright by them
selves. The cOlors were chiefly maroon, deep
sea-green or very light pink. The skirts were
trimmed with fOunces of the same, with very
wide plaits, between which were large silk
bows, also of the same color. For a full half
yard behind and, and about half that width in
front, the fOunces were bound with the same
material. The TUNES were nearly all made of
China crepe, with embroidered hounces, which
had a narrow fringe a shade lighter than them
selves. The tunics were round in front, the
sides being cut in long, pointed ends and tied
together behind the bows of MORE ribbon of a
shade to suit the color of the dresses, with
fringe to match The corsage of each dress was
also of crepe, cut square, the vests being made
of the same colored silk as the dresses, with
bands of white or gray embroidery around the
neck. The sleeves came only TO the elbow, and
were finished Off to suit the tunic. These
dresses, as l was told, were designed by we'll
known master hand in Paris, and were made by
some or the very best milliners that could be
found here.
