men Of all parties; but, adds the Gene

Thrilling Scenes In q Catholic
Church.

Yesterday morning. during the nine
o'clock service at the Church of St.
John the Evangelist, a scene took place
that struck terror into the heart of ev-
cry mother present. Father Mcmahon,
while earnestly addressing his congre.
CATION, was interrupted by one of his
assistants handing him note. On Pc
rusing it he remarked: "If there is a
lady present by the name Of Curtis she
will please follow me at once to the
clergy room," adding "that something
had occurred at her home since she left
it one hour ago" There was general
stir throughout the assembly, and pres
entity lady arose and made her way to-
ward the front of the church, the priest
following her out He shortly returned
however, saying the lady who had re.
sponded to the summons was the wrong
person. 1t was some other Mrs. Curtis
whose attention he desired to attract, but
as no one moved he continued that the
child Of the woman whose attention he
desired to attract had been burned to
death since she left it that morning An
exclamation and woman's shrek of
agony succeeded the announcement, and
the poor mother was led through the
crowd. A namelcss fear had kept her
frem obeying the first summons ~.

Dom Pistt narrates the following in
cident in The Capital: One night Bout

On Fourteenth street., and dropped into
a chair. In response to an inquiry "if
there was anything new," he replied /:
81 don't know that there is. You might
state that ! have recently received prop
ositions from European capitalists re!s-
tive to taking the balance of the new
five per cent. loan" The newspaper
chap to whom this "item'' was impaired
locked incredulous. The Secretary
added: "You might state this fact, and
say also that will take about sixty
days to decide this proposition. If the
American people want any of these
bonds they must subscribe for them in
that time" "Yes,' said the newspaper
man "Yes," said Mr.. Boutwell,. The
newspaper chap put his pen behind his
ear and looked at the ceiling "We ell,'
said Mr.. Boutwell,. The literary chap
smiled family, as if something had
dawned upon his consciousness. He
looked trustingly at the dispenser OF
financial intelligence, and observed :
"Mr. Secretary, l came along the ave
nue. to-day and noticed placsrd some
what as follows: "Goods to he sold at
twenty per cent. less than cost for the
next sixty days; after that time old pr;-
ces TO be resumed" / was thinking,
Mr. Secretary, that something of the

v Hon. JOHN QUINcY ADAMS, of
Massachusetts, in q letter ON the polit.
ical situation says;
II regard tie present Administration
as q National calamity, continuance Of
which should be avertad at almost any
sscrifce-not because it is Republican in
politics, bat because it is mean in char
acter, sordid in tone, ignorant, corrupt
and arbitrary; because, more than any
we have had, it has disappointed the
hopes and deadened the geHerous aspi-
cations of good men of all parties; te-
cause it is doing mare to permanently
disunite the States than the Government
Of Jefferson Dsvi, ever did , because its
Chief can conceive OF no. means of free
government but military force, and no
motive Of public action bat private
profit. Four years more of such an edu-
cation in family patronage and martial
law will so blunt the keen sensibilities of
popular liberty that our Ienoble Incubus
might as we'll remain fixture"
That's plain, easily understood, and
every word true.

genCy Of Enis Death.

The serious illness of The Prince of
Wales has directed attention to the com
plications that would be caused by his
death and the death of Queen Vietoria,
who is now reported to lie in an eXtrem-
ely critical state. In case Of the death
Of Albert Edward, his wife, the Princess
Alexandra, would probably be appoint
ed guardian Of the children under the
paramount authority of the Queen, ac-
cording 10 the precedent in the case of
the death of Frederick. Prince of Wales,
son of George II. Should the Queen
also die, the crown would descend to
her grandson, Albert Victor, who was
born January 8, 1864. In the double
contingency Parliament would interfere,

ably he the Regent in the event of the
death of both Albert Edward and the
Queen has been exciting curious specu.
laiions, and it has been stated that if the
Prince of Wales had but one son, AL.
fred, the second son of Queen Victoria,
could not legally he made Regent, as he
would be the next heir after the young
King, whom he would represent. The
Pr nee of Wales has, however, second
son, George, born June 3D.. 1865, and il
is therefore argued that Prince Alfred
not heing the immediate heir, can be
Regent This ingenious theory that the
next heir cannot lie Regent, appears tc
be based on the recollection of the con
duct of Richard III:, who ascended the
throne of England by causing his two
infant nephews to be smothered in the
tower. A similar accident seems to bt
feared, in case Prince Alfred should bt
appointed Regent, but such happy cas-
uaites could not occur in these times
When George III. became insane his
son and next heir to the crown was ap
pointed Regent. With "restrictioas," and
as the satirists Of that period wrote, ''s
