From the Washington CapitaLl
ALEXIS MARRIED - THE RUSSIAN
GRAND DUKES RUNAWAY MATCH
DECREE OF BANISHNENT.

Itseems that Fred. Grant brought
back from Europe bit of Imperial
gossip. We were fiattering our
selves that the Grand Duke was sent
to the United States for the pur-
pose of studying our institutions,
and the characters, manners, and so
forth of our people. 1t was the
first time, we were assured that the
son of Gar had been sent to a
republic. This turns out, however,
according to Fred, that this is all a
delusion. The Prince Imperial had
become enamorcd of lady not of
the blood royal by any manner of
means, and wished to marry her.
This did not meet the approval of
the Imperial family, and so to get
clear of the mesalliance the young
man was sent abroad. But love
laughs at locksmiths when he has
a latch-key), and the young girl fol-
lowed her imperial love as far as
London, the two were united, on the
sly, in the holy bonds. This COM
ing to the ears of the imperial fam
lily resulted in a banishment that
will probably last his life, and the
young gentlemen will 90 travelling
up and down the earth like the
Wandering Jew for a long time.

CHANGED FOR THE BETTER.

1t is stated that there is not a reg
ular drunkard in Congress at this
time. Matters have changed very
much for the better within a few
years. Senator Wilson in a recent
speech said there is far less drink
ing in Washington now than there
was eighteen years ago. This is an
encouraging state of the case.

FRAUD, SURE.

Pinchback, before the Congress
sional Committee on Louisiana
troubles, told a story which is bound
to live in the records of wit and hu-
NOR. A colored man, who was a
candidate for local Office, being ap-
prised of the fact that the ballot
box of his district, when opened af
ter the late election, contained no
vote for him, rolled his eyes in won
der, and then Indignantly exclaimed
that he couldn't see how that was
there must have been fraud surely
for fore God he had eoted for him
self!

IMPUpENcE EXTRAORDINARY.

For unique impudence and cool
disregard of consequences, commend
us to a Detroit youth. He languid-
ly argued with a woman at her street
door, to which he had summoned
her, concerning the prospect Of the
people in the house moving that af-
ternoon, and when the woman show
ed signs of becoming demonstra-
tive, blandly offered to bet her 81
that they would because the roof
of the house was in blaze.

A POWERFUL ROAD.

The wonderful capacity and pow
er of the Pennsylvania railroad, un-
der its present management, may be
inferred from the remark of cor
respondent in the Germantown
Telegraph" who says that before
the Centennial celebration can take
place we shall have trains running
straight through from the city of
Mexico to Philadelphia, and all the
way in the interest of the Pennsyl-
Yania railroad.

TROUBLE AHEAD.

There is trouble ahead in Wes-
tern Union stock. There has been
trouble for several days, and judi
cious men who had any future en-
gagements to deliver shares of that
company, have ere this got under
cover. Jay Gould is said to be
short about sc, 900 shares,and Smith,
Vanderbilt and other victims of the
Northwestern corner, are preparing
to give the ex-Erie giant a squeeze.

A COAL NINE ON FIRE.

Three miles south of Pinkney-
vile, ILL.,, ,one of the coal measures
(seven feet thick (which crops out at
the foot of a bluff, caught fire some
six weeks ago when the woods were
burning off, and continued to burn
under the ground three or four
weeks, when several of the citizens,
getting dissatisfied with the burning
of their coal with so little profit 10
them, turned a branch creek in upon
the fire and put it out. 1t seems
that the fire had made considerable
headway under the ground, creating
so intense a heat as to warm the
surface of the earth through a depth
of several feet, burning the clay i'm
mediately above the coal measure
as hard as brick. Had the fire not
been put out, it is questionable how
long it might have continued to burn
as the theory first indulged that it
would smother out for want of air,
was not sustained by the facts in
the case.-St. Louis Globe.

DEATH OF EX-GOVERNOR GEARY.

Another of the heroes of the war
Las passed away. Ex Governor
John w. Geary, gallant soldier of
Pennsylvania, fell suddenly dead in
the midst of his family, at Harris
burgh, on Saturday morning. As
already said, he was good soldier,
but he fell short of greatness as a
Governor. His abilities were fair,
but no more, and his personal van
ity sometimes marred his success as
man among men. He died at the
age of fifty four, having been in
public life since 1S40. 7.-f
The funeral was announced to take
place on Thursday morning
from the First Presbyterian Church
on Market Square, Harrisburgh.
On Wednesday the remains lay in
state at the capitol, the obsequies
being under the supervision of the
State authorities and in the imme-
diate charge of Knights Templars.

THE CONVICTION OF Stokes.

So frequent have been the escapes
of notorious violators of the laws
that the conviction of Stokes has
taken the public somewhat by sur
prise. That there was no reasona-
BILE doubts about the murderous in
tent of Stokes, was generally con-
ceeded, and yet his acquital was
nevertheless anticipated. The fact
is, our courts, the administration of
public justice, and the machinery
of the law itself have been more
on trial of late than the prisoners
at the bar. The public has begwn
to ask the question, "what is the
use of courts of justice, and the ex-
pensive machinery of the law, if
they only aid in the escape of noto-
rious malefactorsT 1t was high
time that the supremacy of the law
shall be asserted, so that the mass
Of men should not regard it as a
piece of jugglery and treat it with
contempt. 1t is to be hoped that
the example recently set in the
Stokes case, and in the several con
victions at the Capitol will be fol-
lowed throughout the land, because,
otherwise, acts Of violence will so
increase that life in the United
States will be less secure than
among the most barbarous peoples.

lis. If MIR. Wise executes his design,
the Quaker City has in reserve of
the most astounding sensations OF
the age. The proposition of the Pro-
lessor to make the transit i'll a balloon
Of the second ocean in the world, will
no doubt be considered fOolhardy IN
the extreme, and the Professor be set
down as anything but wise. Should

A Convention Of Brewers.

The Brewers National Congress as
sembled at Cleveland, Ohio, last Tues
day, to protest against the war now
being waged in many States against
lager beer asan intoxicating beverage.
Among the most prom inent speakers
on the occasion was II. II. Reuter-, Of
Boston, who inspired his hearers with
the widest enthusiasm by his ear nest
ness and eloQnence. He declared
against the ostracism of beer as an
intoxicating beverage, and adverted
70 the danger of its free use being IN
terdicted even in the liberal
State Of Oaio. He complained
against the unrestrained Use OF
cider and the prohibition of beer.
when the former contains from eight
to TEL per cent. of alcohol, and the
latter a little more than one-haff that
amount. The speaker declared that
ne law could be enforced to prevent
the use Of stimulants, and that TEN
peram,e is best advanced by C
aging the use of malt liquors. Lager
beer may intoXicate in rare instances,
where an abnormal appetite is created
fJr it. but the exhilaration p O luc, d
by it is good natured. Altogether, it
is a harmless beverage, the consume
ton Of which doubtless decreases the
use of ardent spirits.

THE FRANKNG PRIvILEGE-soME FIGURES.
Fred Douglass paper, the New National

with the Chronicle here, over the ranking
privilege, Douglass paper opposing its abo-
lition, the other advocating it. The last Era
sharply coptroverts the Chronicles figures,
and CLAIMS to show that the cost of franked
matter is greatly exaggerated. The Era
claims that the entire cost of transporting all
franked matter is not over $25O,OO0, instead
of millions, as charged. 1t thus reaches this
conclusion: The government manufactures
into public documents 1000 tons of paper
Globes and all, about one-half of whic is
Sent free through the mails as bound volumes,
the legal postage on which is only one cent an
ounce. Brief calculation will show, if all

have been only 100000 annually. Add 49,
100000 franked speeches, or one hundred and
twenty-five tons of paper, the postage on
S1S0,0OO. AS 10 letters, the New Era makes
the liberal allowance of 5000 for each person
entitled to the privilege. The number of
these will not exceed 400, or 100000 free
letters. Charging single rates, the pos
tage would be 100000 annually. This.

ca that the loss to the postal rev.

late campaign was equal TO $3,5OO,OOO worth

ment in somewhat remorseless fashion, The

about 100000 s9. documents of eight pages

the Era declares that it cost nothing for
