EXTRAORDINARY PARRICIDE. "A
tragic occurrence arising out of an extra
ordinary complication of circumstances,
has taken place in Scutari. A well-to-do
Turkish dealer in the Stamboul bazaar,
already far past the prime of life, had con-
ceiyed a passion for the daughter of his
wife by former marriage. The girl was
Young, and one of the beauties OF the
quarter, and although the Mussulman
religion does not permit marriage with q
step-daughter, the Turk pestered sher with
his assiduities, which she resisted all the
more resolutely that she was already in love
with the son of her step-father by his
former marriage, handsome young tel
low, who warmly returned her affection.
No prohibition existing in the Koran
against such union, the peryerse passion
of the father proved the sole obstacle to
| their marriage. This state of things oc-
cassioned bitter dissensions and profound
misery in the households angry wrangling
and threats were often heard, and the feel.
| inc between the father and son became one
of enyenomed hatred. On the son return
ing home unexpectedly, few days ago
and finding his father again, besetting thu
girl with his opportunities, he rushed tc
the kitchen, seized krife, and stabbed hi
wretched father in the throat SO fatally tina
death ensued in a few minutes. Th,
case is now undergoing judicial investiga

How TO MAKE GARMENTS WATER
communication to an English
aper gives the following recipe for making
Scotch tweed waterproof:
"In bucket of soft water put half-a-
pound Of sugar of lead, and halfa-pound
of powdered alum; stir this at intervals,
until it becomes clear, then pour it off into
another bucket, and put the garment there
ia, and let it be in for twenty-four hours,
and then hang it up to dry without ringing
it. Two of my party, lady and gentle
man, have worn garments thus treated in
the widest storms of wind and rain, with
out getting wet. The rain hangs upon the
cloth in globules. In short, they are really
waterproof"

arrested on the 4th instant, charged with
unlawfully aiding and assisting one Ncho-
las Fischer IN voting illegally, he well
knowing that the said Fischer was not
qualified voter in the precinct in which he
voted, was examined before Justice White
this morning. Mr.. S.over, one of the
registrars at the precinct in which said
Fischer voted, testified that Mr.. Capston
came into his voting place and asked
the poll book; he replied that it was, where
upon Fischer handed in. his ballot, and
Slower deposited the same in the ballot
box. A short time after this occurrence 1t
came to the knowledge of Mr.. Slower that
Mr.. Fischer was not entitled to vote at that
precinct, in consequence OF non-resldence
in said precinct. Fischer was arrested on
the charge Of illegal voting, and examined
before Justice White yesterday, and DIS
charged. Capston was also arrested as an
accessory. From the evidence OF Mr..
Fischer this morning, it appears that
Capston simply accompanied Fischer
to his voting placesby his own request, as
the said Fischer was liable to Ills OF
vertigo OR nervousness, and was afraid to

sNet as Deep ms n Well, Nor as Wide as

The election is over, and at this writing
the indications are that Colonel Hughes,
the Republican candidate, is beaten-we
NAV say badly beaten. 1t is not our dis
position to bemoan the knocking over the
pail of milk, nor to indulge in regrets as to
what might been, had this or that been
done. We acknowledge defeat, and bow
submissively to the will of the people,
expressed by the only legal method
prescribed for the ascertainment OF
that will. 1t is one of those contin-
gencies incident to political conflicts
which must be met by one or the other OF
the contending parties, and we are not
more disappointed than our opponents
would have been, had they met with the
fate that has befallen us. We find COL
ISOLATION in the reflection that we at least
have discharged the duty we assumed, and
are free from the imputation OF having
faltered or hesitated in the earnest support
of the men who advocated the principles
which lie at the foundation of our govern
ment. and which are reflected in the policy
of General Grants administration.
We do not recognize the verdict cast on
Tuesday last, as recordation of the
popular will of Virginia against the broad
ideas of governmental policy embraced in
the Republican creed. We still have faith
in the national sympathy of the people.
The Conservative speakers well knew that
if the naked question Of an endorsement or
condemnation of the general policy OF the
administration had been submitted,
stripped of the extraneous and irrelevant
issues that were thrust into the canvass,
their defeat was certain. They were
aware of the instrumentalities they had at
their command to excite and
control the popular prejudice, and that with
the entire press of the state, with three or
| four exceptions, and nearly all the speaking
| talent enlisted on their side, it was compar.
atively an easy matter to introduce ials'
questions, and stimulate the popular pre-
| udice to the almost total exclusion OF wha
we maintained was the true issue in th'
contest the honest acceptance of the re
suits of the war. We believe to-day, not
withstanding the result we are acknowledg
ing, the great mass of the people OF Vir
ginia are in hearty sympathy with Genera
