4 Paris correspondent relates the fol-
lowing story about the great-grand moth
er of the Polish Prince Lubomirska,
.swho writes so cleverly and chatters so
jncessaltlv:" This unfortunate Princess
remained in Paris during the Reign of
Terror. imagining that her foreign ma
tionaiity would save her from the guillo-
tine. The unhappy lady, who was very
beautiful, made mistake. She had
been the intimate friend of Princess
Lamballe. and was arrested on a ground

with the Austrian government, and hur-
ried off TO execution on the day follow

ish. Princess Lubomirska had one little
daughter which she wished to embrace
before she died. A faithful nurse brought
the child in her arms, and, at the risk of
her own life. TO the very foot of the scaf
fold The wretched mother, wishing
that her little one should be recognized

and not being allowed to write TO them,
imagined the following means of iden-
tify;ng her orphan daughter. STOPPING
down She dipped her finger in the blood
of a victim who had just perished, and
wrote these words in big letters on a
scrap of her linen, The child with the
letters L. b. scratched on its arm is my
daughter, Princess Lubomirski' Then
taking a pin she scratched the initials on
the arm of her child. embraced it, and a

Reign of Terror was over, took the child
to Poland, where, being recognized by

WHY BUTTER DIDN'T COME.

They have a new hired girl over at
Keysers farm, just outside of New Cas-
tie, and on Tuesday, before starting to
spend the day with friend, Mrs. Key
ser instructed the girl to whitewash the
kitchen during her absence. Upon re-
turning, Mrs. Keyser found the Job com
pleted in a very satisfactory manner.
On Wednesdays she always churns. and
last Wednesday, when she was ready. she
went out, and, finding that Mrs. Keyser
had already put the milk into the ehurn,
she began to turn the handle. This was
at eight o'click in the morning, and she
turned until ten without any eigns of
butter appearing. Then she called in
the hired hand and he turned until
dinner-time, when he knocked off with
some very offensive language addressed
to the butter which had not yet come.
After dinner the hired girl took hold of
the crank and turned it energetieally till
two o'clock, when she let 90 with a re-
mark which conveyed the impression
that she believed the churn to be haunt
ed. Then Mr.. Keyser came out and said
that he wanted to know what was the
matter with that churn, anyhow. 1t
was a good enough churn, if people only
knew enough to work it, Mr.. Keyser
tnen worked the crank till half-past
three, when, as the butter had not come,
he surrendered it again to the hired man,
because he had an engagement with
man in the village. The man ground
the machine to an accompaniment of
frightful inprpcatiOns Then the Key
ser children each took a turn for half an
hour, then Mrs. Keyser tried her hand,
and when she was exhausted she again
enlisted the hired girl, who said her
prayers while she turned. But the but
ter didn't come. When Keyser came
home and found the churn still in action
he blasted his eyes, and did some other
innocent swearing, and then he seized
the handle and said he'd make the but
ter come il he kicked up an earthquake
in doing it. Mr.. Aeyser effected about
two hundred revolutions of the crank a
minute, enough to have made any ordi-
nary butter come from the ends of the
earth; and when the perspiration began
to stream from him and still the butter
didn't come, he uttered one wild yell of
rage and disappointment and kicked the
churn over the fence When Mrs. Key
ser went to pick it up she put her nose
down close to the buttermilk and took
sniff. Then she understood how it was.
The girl had mixed the wlitewash in the
churn and left it there. A good, hon
est and intelligent servant, who knows
how to churn, can find IA situation at
Keysers. There is vacancy.-lfaE

In these nine strong Republican inte
rior counties we find Republican loss
in majorities of z, 1863, being no less than
Sirteea per cent. on total vote of A, =
IA, against one and one fourth per cent.
Republican loss in the German Wards
of Cincinnati. 1t is not likely that this
extraordinary result among the strong
Tnmperance communities of the interior
is due to the Temperance plank of the
Republican platform. The explanation
will more readily be found by a compar-
ison of the aggregate votes of the two
parties, whereby it will be seen that
while the Democrats now poll within 222
of their vote of ~, the Republicans fall
off 1881, or % per cent, and 222 more
than their loss in majority. Should we
go through the interior counties we
should find a like state of things to exist
that the Republican loss was Chere
more than among the German votes.
We do not doubt that the Temper
ance plank operated against the Repub-
licans, but to nothing like the exte mt
which many seem to suppose, and to
which other causes affected the result.
The misfortune of the Republicans in
that connection was, that the Temper
ance question was discussed just enough
to excite opposition from the liquor in
terest, but not enough to enlist the ac-
tive support of Temperance men. Even
the Prohibition vote fell off but 2, 643
from 1873. Thus we deem it safe to say,
Q) that the effect of the Temperance
plank has disappointed expectation in
two ways-in both driving from and at
tracing to the Republican ticket less
numbers of votes than were anticipated; !;
and (2) that had a full vote been cast,
the Republicans would have carried the
State Toledo Commercial

JEWISH MANNER OF PREPARING
FOOD.

For slaughter of fish there are no di-
reetions. They may be eaten though
they die naturally on being taken out of
their element, and in this respect their
case is different from that of quadrupeds
and fowls. The general rule is that an
animal must be put to death according
to certain formulas. If it die naturally,
or by accident or disease; If it be torn
by beast of prey, speared by an Indian,
or brought down by the bullet of
sportSmen; If it be drowned, like the
ducks thai are caught in the nets in
Great Shinneeoek Bay, or robbed of its
breath by the air-pump of an expert
mentalist-nay, even though it be de-
prived of life in the most humane and
scientific way, according to the latest
French theory. 10 the orthodox ISraelite

hidden. To be proper food for him, the
animals throat must be cut clean to such
depth that the wind-pipe and gullet are
severed, and it must then bleed to death
The wound must be inflicted by per-
son, known as ShOceet, who has studied
the art, and is familiar with all the reg
ulations relating TO it, and whom the
rabbiAicai authorities have properly
authorized to discharge this duty. He
must use knife which has been sharp
ened to its highest capacity, and which
has perfect edge. 1t is also his duty,
after the animals death, to examine the
carcass, and to see that it was in sound
health; any indication of disease render
it,.unft it for food. Eruptions are fatal,
and so are foreign substances ia the Vi

LAME coNCLUSIoA.

The trial of Dr. Jenner, the lecherous
Superintendent of the Orphans Home
at Xenia, has ended in a manner so tame
and unsatisfactory as to call out a burst
of indignation from even the Democrat
ic papers of other States. At the last
moment, when the proof against him
had been made so clear and unequivocai
that his conviction, even by a partisan
Democratic board, was inevitable, DIR.
Jenner was allowed TO resign, and, thus
go unwhipped of justice. While the
Board was in the very act Of voting on
its verdict, messenger brought dOeu-
ment containing DIR. Jenners 'imrnedi-
ate and unconditional resignation" In
stead of Withholding its acceptance of
the resignation until the question of the
Superintendent's guilt could be deter
mined, the Board accepted it and ad-
iourned the case. The result leaves the
accused technically undetiled by the pro-
ceedings, but he cannot escape the NOR
al consequences of his offense. Not
withstanding the efforts of the Board to
prevent the testimony given before It
from being published, enough has leaked
out TO show that DR.. Jenner was one of
the most abandoned scOundrels that ever
abused a sacred trust. He has done his
best to make the asylum which shelters
the orphans of our dead soldiers and
sailors a nursery for prostitutes. He has
used the authority vested in him by the
State, to make his devilislI purposes more
easy and certain of accomplishment. IL
the man who under the guise of honest
but impetuous love betrays the trust of
one woman is guilty, what language can
measure or describe the guilt of the man
who deliberately makes a harem of an
orphan asylum, and finds his victims
among the children whose fathers sleep
in soldiers graves, and whom the State
is bound by every principle of honor to
sacredly protect. Such are among the
fruits of the election last year-an cleo
ton in which enough Republicans stay
ed at home to permit Democratic Gov
ernOr to be elected, and the whole man
agemeDt of the State institutions to be
turned inside out. The Democracy has
made great promises of reform One of
its first official acts was TO postpone the
trial of Dr. Jenner until after the cleo
ton for fear of its effect upon the vo-
ters, and the second is to permit the
double-1yed villain 10 escape by simply
resigning, in the very moment of con
viction, the trust he had so fouIly abused.
Had DR.. Jenner been Republican the
Democratic press and orators woud have
rent the air with their denunciations of
his perfidy, but since he was a Democrat.
he has been slipped out of Office so qui-
etly that his going has been almost un-
noted.

The Rev. Brother johnson is quite n
noted Methodist preacher of the colored
/ Church in Texas \ short time since
there was union religious revival in
Chambers county among the eolored
population, and at a meeting at Double
Bayou. Brother Rivers said he thought
1t his duty TO remind the congregation
that the servant was worthy of his hire
and, though he was a member of the
Baptist Church, he felt it his duty to
say TO his friends that Brother johnson
had worked hard in the good cause. and.
though he belonged to another Church.
the brothers should give according to
their means toward the support of their
reverend brother. He then took his
seat. Brother johnson then rose, and
said: Il feels highly complicated at
the remarks of the dear brother. and
Will say to you all, sisters and brothers.
and brothers and sisters, | bless the
Lord that | work in his field; vet, dis
mortal body must have things of this
world to live on. | know none of Won
have much money, but you have taters,
turnlps, and things of dis kind dat will
help Brother Johnson's mortal body, and
il you will just speak right out, and say
what each one can give, Brother Rivers
will write it down, so Brother johnson
will know just what to come after, and
how big-a cart to bring along"
The collection was made up by some
giving corn, some potatoes, some tur-
nIps, all calling out from their seats
what they would give. Brother John
son seemed pleased at the amount Civ
en-, as far as it went. He rose and thanked
~ 4
sisters, you have given literally wild the
tongue, but don't think it is going to
end there, for is coming down here wild
a big OK wagon, and going around to
each one of you wild this paper in my
hand, and will expect you to come out
and help Brother Johnson to put these
two bushels, and these three bushels,
and these five bushels. and these seven
bushels, and all these bushels into dat
OK wagon, and there will still be room
for more, as | is going to bring a big
wagon. Now, can't hear some one
say dey will give Brother johnson hog,
or some little pigs, if they can't spare a
hog
This caused quite litter among the
brothers and sisters, and quite a discus
sion among them who should bring the
hog. At last one brother said: Broth
er johnson, Is got some hogs down in
de marsh, but Is got no time to bring
'em up, but If you can go down dar and
catch one, and put him in your cart, you
can have one" Brother johnson said:
Dat is all right, brother; dat is sucei-
cient. Just let Brother johnson see
dem hogs, and he gets the biggest out of
dat gang into his OK wagon before you
can say Jack Robinson. We will close
dis business part of lie meeting and go to

MUTATIONS IN OHIO POLITICS.

In a well considered article on the
past and present of political parties ia
Ohio, the Akron Beacon reminds its
readers of the following facts which it
will be well to remember i'll connection
with our future party ascendancy ia
Ohio:
Political parties need occasional Bull
Run reminders. As we have said. their
memories are short and the past is soon
forgotten.
In 1861 David Tod was elected Gov
ernor by over 55. 600 majority. The
Legislature stood: Senate, Republicans
&c; Democrats, s. The House, Repub-
Gcans, 70; Democrats, "a. The State
was overwhelmingly Republican. In
1862 an election was held corresponding
to the election of this year. The coun-
try was somewhat soured by reverses
in the South, Emancipation proclama-
ton of President Lincoln. The DemOc-
racy of Ohio in State Convention took
advantage of the reaction, and resolved
in bitter terms against emancipation,
declaring it TO be IAN act of inhumanity
to the slaves They further declared
that such emancipation would throw
upon the border free States, and espe-
cially upon Ohio, an immense number OF
free negroes to compete with and under
work the white laborers of the State. lt
would fill Ohio with degraded pOpula-
tion to compete with our brave soldiers
on their return to peaceful avocations.'
Another resolution condemned the Re
publican Legislature for not prohibiting
the emigration of negroes into the
State of Ohio.
What was the result? The Democrat
ic State ticket was elected by an average
majority of 6, 500 against %, 900 for Tod
the year before, and the Democracy
elected fourteen of the nineteen Con-
pressmen. Too much Niger defeated
the party that year, and leading Repub-
Iicans. from Lincoln down, were cursed
bv sore-headed Republicans for forcing
an unpopular issue upon the party.
The next fall Brough was elected
Governor by 81, 916 majority.
How was it six years laueri In 1866
the State went Republican by a major
ity of 45, 900. and We elected seventeen
out of nineteen members of Congress.
In 1872 the Republicans barely carried
the State for Governor Hayet by a ma
iority of 2, 9S3, and a decided majority
of Democrats was elected TO the Legls-
lature The proposition to enfranchise
the negroes was defeated by 80, coo ma
iority. Again there was too much mig
ger, for the weak stomach members OF
the party, and they played their old
game of boiling, and gave the State to
the Democracy.
In 1868 the State went overwhelming
ly for Grant and the entire Republican
ticket. Negro emancipation, negro suf-
frage and negro equality, those terrible
Democratic scare crows which fright
ened poor. timid, ignorant Republicans
for a time. were all indorsed in that
election, and the right triumphed and
all was well.

REMARKABLE IF TRUE.-The follow
ing incident of the famine, reported
By the Collector of Monghyr, is, says the
Times Of India, certainly remarkable;
"a woman of the fishing caste, writes
Mr.. Lockwood, twas sitting by the SIDE
of the Ganges, some 100 miles from here,
in the Patna District, about daylight
the 10Th of August; suddenly the bank
on which she was sitting gave way, and
she fell into the water, dragging with
her a large bundle of castor oil sticks
which she was carrying at the time
She managed to support herself on these
sticks. which formed a kind of life buoy,
and she was carried down by the cur
rent. which is now running at a great
pace. Aseaeh village or boat was passed
She shouted to the villagers TO help her,
but none came 10 her relief. In this
way she was carried nearly 100 miles,
and. fortunately for her, when she had
been twenty four hours in the water, she
passed by Monghyr, and was rescued by
Col. Murray, who, seeing her floating
by, sent his private boat and rescued
her. The woman did not appear much
the worse for her prolonged stay in the
water, but naturally was much i'm
pressed by the fact Of her being rescued
By a European, when 50 many of her
own caste had declined to help her.
She was provided with railway ticket
to Patna, together with food and cloth
ing from the relief funds"

THE LATEELEC-
TON.

The Cincinnati Enquirer takes the p5-
sition that it was not the Temperance
plank in the Republican platform that
caused the result of the recent STATE.
election, and in proof thereof it states
facts. For instance, it says that In Gin
cinnati, where, above all places, the
Temperance question might be expected
to operate against the Republicans. the
Democrats actually lost ground, a. com
pared with 1872. The majority Jr the
Democratic State ticket tive years since
was $500, against 4, 637 this Fall, when
the Democrats, in view of the supposed
influence of the Temperance question.
expected 5000 to 10000 majority In
further proof on this point, that paper
cites the figures of four German Wards
in Cincinnati, (the 10th, 11th, 18th and
13th,) which gave Wikoff 70 majority
The same Wards, in 1872, gave Wikoff
146 majority, or just 67 more than at the
recent election. This shows a Repubii
can loss of IA per cent. on the vote
cast. The Republican loss on the State
at large, as compared with 1872, is 81,
377, or six per cent. We thus see that
the proportionate loss in the four Ger
man Wards of Cincinnati, is only one
fourth that in the State The Enquirer
well says, that sit doesn't appear that
the Republican prohibition clause in
their platform injured the Republicans
in the German Wards or helped the
Democrats" That journal adds: sin
other Wards, where there is large pop
ulation of naturalized citizens, and
large number of saloons, the Democratic
majority is not as large as it was two
years ago when the Temperance question
was not an issue" The Enquirer also
cites Franklin County, with its present
Democratic majority of 1,S01, against
2,297 in ~, as proof in the same direc-
ton.
1t is quite true that there were heavy
Republican losses in Toledo and Cleve-
land at the recent election, but these
are largely accounted for on grounds
other than the Temperance question.
In each city the campaign was seri-
ously affected by unfortunate Congress
sional disagreements, which, while it
demoralized and weakened the Republi-
cans. greatly encouraged and strength
ened their opponents. Indeed, there is
doubt, if, but for such fact, the Demo-
Gratis in either District would have un-
dertaken a serious canvass. Besides
this, we had in this county other local
disturbances operating more or less un-
favorably on the Republican ticket.
That there were Germans, and in con-
siderable numbers, who voted the Dem
ocratic ticket, because of the Temper
ance question, we do not doubt; but
this class will not account for the loss in
the city.
We think an examination of the vote
IN the strong Republican counties of the
interior, with but small German popula-
ton, will better indicate the source of
the trouble with the Republican ticket.
The following may be taken as samples
on this point:
