New York is thoroughly astonlshea at the
committai TO the common Jail, for trial, of the
chief Of gang Of emigrant swindlers. These
notorious scoundrsls have in almost every case
hitherto gone scot free after the preparation OF
their robberies, for the reason that they we're
prominent and useful members Of the ring, and
on election days made polling places 20 uncsm-
Portable for decent people that many Of the lat
ter kept away. and did not vote at ali. The ac-
ton of the judge in this instance is q wholesome
evidence OF reform in the matter Of emigrant
sVindlng.

took place between President Theirs and the
Orleans Princes, which lasted AN hour. and " as
Of an unfriendly character. President Theirs
complained especially that Due d'Aumale had
not strictly Observed the terms OF the previous
agre. ment, inasmuch as he had enieavored u
int rest generals in his favor. Due q Aumale
denied this. Theirs said: 81 know that Won have
visited MANY generals who are members of the
Assembly, with a view 10 obtain their support
in case of emergency. You had several inter
views with General Ducrot, 10 whom Won laid
bare your purposes. You saw General Billet at

prised that, not satisfied with these measures,
YOU also made similar visits TO many of the SUBJ
ordinate generals OF the army OF Paris. whose
names l can give you If you are ignorant OF
them"
The Due answered evasively and terminated
the interview with the declaration that he would
now take the advice Of his friends, not as 20
whether lie should take his seat, but with refer.
ence only as TO the proper time for doing so.
General Bourbaki told the Due dAumsle, in
the presence of General Ducrot, that only a re-
puplic or empire was competent to restore
France. and he could serve no other regime.

A Practical Joke.

The Congregationalist has an anec-
dote a few days ago two young men
went from Massachusetts to Hartford
to make q visit. They were excellent
in every way, and carried little relig-
ious cards in their pockets with suita-
bic mottos, in order to sow seed by the
wayside. They we're very anxious to
see DR.. Bushnell, and yet did not feel
bold enough to call on the great man.
The relative whom they were visiting,
was engaged in one of the banks, and
told them that the doctor was in the
habit Of dropping in there pretty oft
en-: and that, in fact, he must come
in soon, as there was some money await
ing him. One morning while the two
were in the bank thinking that perhaps
the Doctor might happen in an elder
ly man with felt hat, put on rather
slouchly, a grayish black suit, q big
oak walking stick, and the air of u
well-to- do and bluff, outspoken farmer
came in as though he belonged there,
and received a thick roll Of greenbacks
from the cashier. They had that vile
smell which money much handled gets,
and the old gentleman (it was DR..
Bushnell) began in his sharp way 10
Jerk out something about this "hithv
currency" and to stigmatize it with
terms a good deal more forcible than
elegant. The young men looked at
the elderly one with good deal OF
commiseratiou, and overhauling Their
religious cards, picked out one, and ap.
preaching him, put it into his hand. 1t
contained the words, "Are your
thoughts sure?" What the doctor
thought can hardly be imagined, but
we can conjecture what the young men
thought, when their friend came out
from behind the counter, unconscious
of what had passed, and introduced
them to the Rev. DIR. Bushnell, OF
whose piety they had heard so much,
and whom they SO greatly desired to
see. History drops the veil on the
scene at just this point.

Kiss My Wife or Fight.

There are q few married men who

particulars of a case in which a newly

The bridegroom was a stalwart young
rustic, who was known as formidable
operator in "frce fight" His bride
was beautiful and blooming country
girl, only sixteen years of age, and the
twain were at party where number
of young folks Of both sexes were en-
joying themselves in the good old-fash
ioned style. Every girl in the room
was called out and kissed, except r.,
the beautiful young bride aforesaid /;
and, although there was not young
ster who was not dying to taste her
lips, they were restrained by the pre-
sence of her nerculean husband, who
stood regarding the party with look
of sullen dissatisfaction. They, how.
ever, mistook the cause, for suddenly
