wants before you. Many good Christian
families here have no clothes TO 90 out of
doors with. and children hare frozen TO
death already. A box of old clothes,
shoes. overcoats or provisions will keep
some from freezing TO death. Send us Il
box please.
Such an appeal We cannot disregard.
"Children have frozen to death already"
rings In our ears, 1t Is enough.

a W ful Cheeky

4 negro went into the grocery store Of
Adolph Swoboda, on Eighteenth street.
yesterday morning. and after standing
around the stove for some time, looking
about to see what there was handy that
I've could make use Of, he came TO the con-
clusion that the only thing worth
stealing that he could get away with.
| without being detected, was a small bag
Of beans, and being very fond OF this
kind of food, he picked up the bag and
walked ont. lie took the beans
home. and requested his better half to
cook them with bacon. when lac was told
by that lady that there was no bacon In
the house--that she had no money 10 buy
any. and that he had better take
the beans back to the store and trade
them for potatoes. Accordingly the du-
tifiIl husband, with the bag of beans upon
his shoulder, rctraced his steps TO the
store a. he was told, and told one of the
clerks that hc had bought some
beans there few hours be-
fore, and upon taking them home
found there was no bacon in the house
| with which TO cook them, and that he
wanted to trade them to him for potatoes.
The clerk had discovered that the bag of
beans was missing after the negro had
len the store in the morning. and when
he saw him enter with the beans in the
afternoon, lac thought that the negro's
conscience had smitten him and that he
had brought them back to their rightful
owner, in order that he might be for
given and thus rid his mind of the crime,
and was preparing TO give the negro his
blessing for his good resolution. But
when the negro wanted to trade him his
own beans, Christian feeling deserted
him. and he went for that negro. knocked
him down, pummelcd him good for
awhile, and then pitched him out Of the
door on his head. The negro picked
himself up, and after looking about him
and examining his bones to see whether
any had been broken. went away. and
hasrnot been heard of since.

INVESTED WITH THE INSIGNIA
After the Prince had risen from his
hhees he was invested with richly
embroidered apron, collar, and Jewels
ana proclaimed Grand Master, and
then he was greeted with round after
round of applause. Then he seated
himself in the great throne, or Chair
Oh the East, clothed in his rich Ma
sonic apparel, his face beaming with
oehght' blended with a thorough con-
SERIOUSNESS of the solemnity of his OBJ
llgatlons. He was now welcomed in
congratu!atory speech by the Earl
OF Carnarvon. The Prince arose and
replied in short speech of about
aVe minutes, in voice of deep, mel
low tone, with much sweetness and
purity of dicticn.
His Royal Highness was welcomed
IN due and ancient form by "three
times three" Masonic salutes, and
they were given with hearty fervency.
After the Masonic delegations from
Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, and Den
mark had been presented, the Prince
filled all the other Offices in the
Grand Lodge by appointment, an
nounclng the name himself of each
officer, and clothing him in the pro
per regalia. Lord Carnarvon was ap-
pointed Pro. G. NJ; Lord Skelmers-
dale, Dep. G. NJ; the Marquis of
Hamilton, S. G. W.; the Lord Mayor
OF London, j. G. W.; John Heryey,

lusIrlous list. After some very fine
music from the great organ the Grand
Lodge closed in due and ancient form
and the seven thousand fortunate
members of the craft wendell their
way homeward to a late dinner.

Spencer.

Ii the United States Senate. when #
eonvenes, dees not, on the strength Of
the disclosures which have been made
before the Alabama Legislature,
promptly expel Spencer, the carpet-bas
senator from that State, it will be Ma
tlonal disgrace. The developments
Which have been made. and which have
been published in the Enquirer, show
an amount of corruption and fraud that
IS unparalleled in the annals of Ameri-
can politics. They are absolutely sick
enlng to peruse. This, in brief, is what
Spencer and his agents have done: He
caused an opponent in the Legislature
to be drugged to insensibility. Others
We're paid for their votes by Federal ap-
polntments which were promised them
IN advance. One member was paid a
sum OF money to pair off with Demo-
cfatlc Senator and then afterward to re-
TURN and violate his pledge by voting
for Spencer. The army of the United
States was used by Spencer before the
election to make arrests of his oppo-
nents in the different counties. Read
the following from the testimony of
Robert Barber, Republican Clerk of the
Legislature when the so-called election
OF Spencer was made. Here is what
he says:
Letter No. 2, dated Decatur, 22d, after
stating what troops had been ordered to
Alabama and where stationed, proceeded
thus: II wish Randolph, Deputy United
States Marshal, ould use the company at |
Opelika in making arrests in Tallahassee.
Randolph and Clebourne counties. wish
you would go to Talladesa and block the |
game. must not, however, be known in |
the matter. In haste, truly yours, Geo. Z. |
Spencer. To Robert Barber"
The witness eontinned: / knew Spen- |
GERS handwriting. and these letters are
written and signed by him, and bear the
impress and seal of his motto, Dieu Defen-
de 10 Droit. The expression relative to
arrests in Randolph and other counties re-
fers to letter received by me from Ram
d0lph County, in which it was stated that
if troops could be sent into the counties
named to make q few arrests enough vo-
ters could be run out of them to secure the
election of the Republican candidates for
the Legislature.
This is enough. We know TIL e
strength of party attachments. We
know that if Spencer is unseated he
will be replaced by Democrat. New
ertheless we expect the Republican ma
jority in the Senate to do it. The Re-
publican party cannot afford to carry
Spencer after this. He must be prompt
ly dropped. We have too much respect
for our Republican fellow-citizens to
believe for one moment that they will
permit man chosen by such means to
remain in the highest and most digni-
fed legislative body in the world. The
election of Caldwell, the Kansas Sena-
tor, who was expelled, was fair and
honest compared with that of Spencer.
We look for the Republican press to i'll
sist upon the maintenance of the honor
of their organization by the rejection of
this Alabama impostor and knave. He
ought to be proceeded against criminal
ly, and when he leaves the Senate, con-
veyed to Il State Prison.-[Cincinnati

ply to overlooked lands only. You will,
however, receive taxes on all past years
assessments, without adding the twenty
i've per cent per annum penalties, up to
