A Practical Joke.

A Swiss court has had before it a case
originating from a practical joke Of an
equally daring and ridiculous nature. A
sapper, with a bushy beard, who was re
turning to his native village from his
military duty, stayed a night in the chief
town Of the canton. He was found drunk
in a ditch on the roadside. Two wags
passing by, according to the SlCiss Times,
took the drunken man first 10 the house
of one Of them who Owncda an old monks
cowl and a tOnsure, shaved all the hair
off his face, and dressed him in the hab-
il of a monk. They then took him to
the nearest convent, and said they had
found him drunk on the roadside, and
had brought him in there to avoid the
scandal which might ensue were he found
outside. On awaking the sapper was
not a little astonished TO find himself in
the cell Of convent, with a monks
cOwl on, and that he had no hair on his
face or on the crown of his head. To
his prOtcstatiOns, the fathers said he
must be still laboring under the effects
of strong drink, and advised him TO 90
to sleep once more At length they CON
scented to send for the parish priest where
he said he resided, in order to clear up
the mystery. On the priest arriving, he
recognized in the pseudo monk his par
ishioner, whereupon he was permitted to
depart Means were found to discover
the two wags, and the sapper, thus ex-
temporized into a monk, as well as the
brotherhood who were so fooled, intend
to bring an action against them. As in
religious matters the canton of Friburg
is very strict, and is not likely to see the
point of the joke, the two wags will
probably get the worst of it.

AbysSinia.

The Bombay papers recently received
in London publish the following ex-
tracts from a letter addressed by Lieu
tenant PrideauX (Who lately visited Mas
sOwah for the purpose of delivering the
presents of the English Government to
Prince Kassa of Tigre) to the Political
Resident at Alden:
could not learn much about the in
ternal state Of Abyssinia while at AIassO-
wah. The country is parcelled out
among the different chiefs. who at pre-
sent appear to be on good terms with
one another, and who are pretty nearly
equal in strength. Deiaj Kassa, al
though he has assumed the ancient title
of Emperor of Abyssinia, has no power
beyond the limits Of Tigre. Gondar and
a considerable portion Of Bagemdcr and
the Ambara county are in the hands of
KaS Waregna. Gaium and DamOt in
those Of Kas Adal The southern p0r-
ton of BagemdeT, including the import
ant towns of Cuarata and Dehra Tabor.
is governed by Ali Bien, the Chief of
YediOw, while SOcOta and a large pOr-
ton Of Lasta are ruled by Wakshm
Scferri. who owns allegiance 10 the
King Of Tigrc It is commonly remark
ed that since his coronation in February
the character of Dejai Kassa has greatly
changed for the worse The Roman
Catholic missionaries have been expelled
the country. while the Europeans who
still remain in the Kings service are
treated no better than common soldiers,
and are said to be in a starving cOndi-
ton. The barbarous punishment Of an
putati0n of the hands and feet is now
frequently employed, and lately a
daughter Of DR.. Schimper, the widow OF
one of King Theodore's artisans, Kiruz-
lin, and the sister-in-law of another. Mr.
Bender, who recently returned to Abys-
sinia, and is now in Adwa, was stripped
and publicly 1ogged in the market-place
of that town. because her second hus-
band, an Abyssinian chief in Eassa's en-
ploy, had deserted that princes service
and become a rebel in Hamasani. / only
mention this as an instance of the kings
disregard of the opinion of Europeans
among whom this unfortunate lady had
so many relatives: and when the feeling
Of restraint has been once thrown off. it
is looked on as a marked step in the
downward progress of an Abyssinian
ruler | should consider it extremely
unsafe for any European to travel in
Northern Abyssinia at the present time.

sad Accident at Benson.

Mr. Joseph d. King, of Benson, met
with serious accident on the 9Th inst.
under the following circumstances: Mr..
King threw some unthreshed grain upon
the table of threshing machine, and
then, with his left hand, undertook to
push it into the machine when in mo-
ton. The result was, his hand went just
too near and was instantly torn in shreds,
every bone in his fingers and thumb being
taken out, leaving his hand mangled
mass of flesh, skin, and broken bones.
1t is said he very calmly looked at the
stump, deliberately walked across the
floor and set down a shovel which he
held in his right hand and walked into
the house. DR.. Jones was summoned
Immediately, and attended upon him IN
til DR. Sheldon Gale, of Orwell, and DR..
L. d. Ross, Of POultney, were sent for.
Drs. Gale and Ross amputated the arm
about midway between the elbow and
wrist and the patient is doing well. Drs.
Gale and Ross both saw service in the
army. and were competent to do what
was required to be done
Mr. King has the sympathy Of our en-
tire community in this at1liction. He
has always been a very industrious and
Woodworking man, and now, having
passed the prime of his manhood he has
the consolation and satisfaction of know
ing that his industry has accumulated
enough not only to secure him the bcne-
fits Of ease and comfort for himself and
family in the future, but a competency
to meet the wants Of life; and also he
has the satisfaction of knowing that
every dollar he has earned himself. X.

The FortigtcatIons of Germany.

The Hamburger Correspondent news
paper says that while the war Of 1870
surprised Germany in an almost entirely
UGpreparcd state as regards the defense
of her coasts, the works which have
been commenced have been 50 effcctu-
ally carried ont that already the mouths
Of the Elbe. Wcscr and .Tahdy NAV be
regarded as thoroughly protected from
any attack from the sea. IN attack
from the land is regarded by military
men as impossible. The network of
coast railways has been laid down in &C
cOrdancc with the stratCgical plans. and
two branch lines-that from Lehe to
Stadc, and that from Stadc to CuXhaven
are required to complete it. The 9th
or defensive works will be completed in
two years at most. and may be got ready
even by next year year if necessary
But it seems that the German govern
ment it not satisfied with erecting such
works at the mouths Of the above rivers
but it also wishes to take up an often
sivc position on the North sea. by en-
larging the Notifications on the islands
Of Wangerooge and Neuwerk 'Whon
this is done, proceeds the C0rrcsp0n-
dent. Germany viii be ALE 10 prevent
even the greatest naval power from 0D-
Grating in the North sea except with
forces quite out Of proportion to the 0c-
CaslOn, as a fleet sent against The German
coast would at any given moment be
threatened with an unexpected attack in
flank from the German navy. which
would be concentrated in the imprcgna-
bic port Of Wilhelmshavcn. 4 similar.
or rather more formidable naval position
would be created in the Baltic by the
completion Of the harb0r works i'm the
island of Rugen and Alscn, while the
formation Of the canal between the
North sea and the Baltic, which will
connect these positions, would create
complete system of naval defence for
Germany such as is not possessed by
any other European States. The
completion Of these harbOr and defence
works would cost at least sixty millions.
and indeed there is no occasion to bprin
the new harbOrs in the Baltic vet. But
the formation OF the canal between the
North sea and the Baltic has already
been delayed for seven years. which is
the more ineXplicablc that there a.
scarcely any engineering difficulties con
nected with the work. and that the cost
which is estimated at about forty mil
lions, cannot in the present financial con-
ditiOn Of Germany be worth consider
ing in viGw Of the immense advantages
which the canal would secure both 10
the German navy and to the interests Of
the German trade.

Tn order thatit may be seen how much
truth the Independent has, from week

strength of the Greeley movement in

that sthe lies" they have talked so much

No intelligent Democrat or Liberal Re-

a small State like Vermont, with an
overwhelming majority against new
movement. the wonder is that our forces
were as strong and as united as the work
of last Tuesday, has proved they were
they were and are. The loud boaStlng
of the GRANTEES over their victory IS the
shameless staggering of a cOWardly
bully. under the circumstances. AND
the DAVIS work of the last election IS one

to stick by your colors, when the battle
is certain to be against you, and fearing
no powers, and Indifferent to all ribald
ieers from those who would be arrant
towards in a failing cause, stand fast to
your convictions. So have stood the
Liberals in the last election-aud 50 they
will stand by their principles, till theirs
shall be the victory even in this Mala-
koff Of misnamcd Republicanism,
