AocIDENr.-On Tuesday last little
son Of Mr.. John Christy, of Wheeling
township, was in the meadow where a
moving machine was at work. As the
machine was being stopped for dinner
the boy ran in front Of the cutter.bar TO
assist in detaching the horses. The
knives continued to play, and the bar
moving forward the boys feet were
caught in the knives. The right foot
was half severed, the bone being cut
entirely through, along with the ten
dons. The left was considerably man-
gled on the side and a slice taken of
the heel. DR.. West was called in, and
he thinks both feet can be saved, but
the boy will he permanently lame

In the history of volcanic Paris there
have never been such terrible scenes as
since the Versailles troops forced their
way into the city. It is impossible to
tell, from the dispatches, the extent Of
the damage done the city. The insur-
gents have used petroleum in kindling
confagrations, seemingly resolved that
the city should be destroyed with them,
and the artillery of the Versailles forces
has been unsparingly used. It seems
definite that the grand old palace Of the
Tuileries and a great part of the Louvre
are in ruins. The fate Of the Hotel de
Vile is not certain. There has been i'm
mense loss Of life, the Communists be-
ing slaughtered without mercy. The
most shocking incident Of this unexam-
pied reign Of terror is the massacre in
cold blood Of the Archbishop Of Paris,
Darboy, with ten hostages, citizens
friendly to the Versailles Government,
and nearly fifty priests. This was wan
ton murder, and will make a profound
impression Of the most painful charac-
ter. 1t is the most frightful illustration
in this horrible struggle, of the ferooity
Of the passions Of the Red Parisians

A RUINED FAMILY.
-Four Daughters Ofa Clergyman
Prefer Life OfInfamy to
their Fathers Roof.

- G-AlALE . AlllOla
In 1856 the daughter Of a Presbyterian
clergyman in the centre Of this State,
who had been reared in a strict and
rigid manner, proceeded to New Haven,
Connecticut, to spend a month with
friends during the college commence
ment season. While there, taking ad-
vantage of the new freedom allowed her,
she carried on extensive firtations with
the students, and was ruined by a mem
Der Of the senior class. He persuaded
her to leave her friends and return with
him to New York, instead Of eoing
home. Singular to relate, she appeared
almost from choice to enter upon city
dissipatiOns and excesses until, beoOm-
ing thoroughly hardened and depraved,
sister came on to visit her and per-
suade her to go back to her fathers
home. Instead of doing so, however,
the visiting sister was also persuaded to
/ remain and enter upon the same ter
rible life which her sister was leading.
Since then the two abandoned women
have alIured their two younger sisters
away from the parental roof, and the
four are now keeping what is known as
a fashionable bagnio'' between Twenty
fifth and Twenty-eighth streets, on the
west side of the city. A more melan-
choly instance of the power Of older up
on younger members of a family never
came to notice. Parents unquestionably
sometimes commit a mistake in bring
ing up their children under too rigorous
regulations, especially if they be strong,
positive natures.

The President and the People.

Inc FFeSlUemg ana the ReODles
Harper's Weekly concludes an article
under this head thus: "The press has
unquestionably taught the people a GER
tain distrust Of newspapers. Sharp CEN
sure, violent denunciation, mean insin-
uation, have so often proved to be either
unfounded or interested that the wary
reader reverses his opinion. He does
not believe that the President is a fool
because he reads it in one paper, nor a
knave because he reads it in another.
''The general opinion of the President
- the peoples opinion is, we think,
that he is a plain, honest man, who
means to do his duty as faithfully and
honestly and patriotiealIy in the cabinet
as he did in the field; whose admins
tration has been efficient, satisfactory,
and creditable, diminishing the debt, re-
dueing taxation, restoring the Union,
and honorably and peacefully settling
the most threatening foreign difficulty.
The Presidents manly message upon
the San Domingo question has removed
any party irritation upon that point, and
the Ku-Klux bill is undoubtedly gener-
ally approved also by the people, al
though severely criticized in 50 many
papers. Undoubtedly General Grant is
not considered to be a good "party''
President. But that does not weaken
him with the country so long as there
is no doubt-and there certainly is none
of his fidelity to the principles of the
party. This we believe to be the peoples
opinion of the President; and therefore
it is true that while the newspapers og-
pose, the people support him, and it is
that general confidence which makes
his denomination probable.

..Aw.IReg PaWdon. :,

Don Piatt is responsible for the
following incident, which he relates
in Washington letter to the. Gin
cinnati Commercial
The latest story that is going the
rounds here is told Of one Of the
Second Joints, as the Secretaries
were called to distinguish them from
the High Joints. This was an ele-
CANT youth, rather slender and tall,
whose talk began and ended with
one short sentence, which said, CAV,
1 begy'r pawdon," which draWled
out has a very pleasing result, and
is being generally initiated by our
free-born youths of America about
Washington.
It seems that this sprig of En-
glish nobility was invited to pass
some days at the country house of a
wealthy American, and late at night
before retiring, concluded to take
ga bath, you know" and so, direct
ed by a servant, he found his way
to the bath room, and turning on
the warm water, was soon enjoying
at full length, the delicious sense Of
an entire relaxation of his aristO-
cratic person and repose of his aris-
tOcratic intellect. Unfortunately
the daughter of the house also con.
cluded to take a dip in the tub, and
not knowing what their iIlustriOus
guest had done to himself undressed
in her room, ran hurriedly along the
hall for fear of meeting some one,
and darting into the bathroom clos
ed and locked the door. What was
her CONSERVATION to see a head rails
ing languidly from the tub, and a
voice exclaim
CAV, I beg pawdon." :"
She screamed a scream-I indulge
in no exaggeration when I say that
that girl screamed a scream of the
first magnitude, and then she
screamed another scream as, in her
confusion, she turned the key in
the wrong direction, and so did not
open the door between each scream
the languid voice exclaimed
CAV, I beg pawdon."
After sixteen screams, any one Oi
which would have rivaIed a locom-
otive's, she succeeded in opening
the door, and fell fainting in the
arms of her frightened papa. Sc
soon as pater faaajliaS could relieve
himself of his nude daughter, ht
stuck his parental head into the
bathroom, and wanted to know
what in the HI was the matter
All he could get in reply was
"Aw, I beg pawdon."
