A Minister Drunk at the Com
munioti Table.
Cincinnati Special, Dec 25th, to Chicago Tribune.
There was a stunning sensation
to day in one of our high-toned
Episcopal churches (St. John's) on
the occasion of the Christmas services
and communion. The rector Of this
church, the Rev. G: d. Davidson,
died recently, aud his place has not
yet been supplied. To-day a minis
ter, of Covington, had been secured
to officiate. Unfortunately, the lat.
ter gentleman had partaken rather
freely of egg.nog before going to the
churchl and, worse still, when he
got there he dived into the jug Of
communion wine. drinking long and
often of the rich juice of the grape.
He managed to get through the for
NAL services decehtly, but by the
time he commenced on his Christmas
sermon, the mixture of egg-nog and
wine had SO worked upon his brain
that he was badly of" and wan
dered sadly. He rambled around,
jumping from one topic to another
in such a way that all could see that
the man was drunk. At last, when
the thing became unbearable, the
Wardens gave the signal, and the
congregation, a small one. got up
quietly and left with dignity, leaving
the minister to talk to empty bench

A young man has been teaching
school near this place for several
months. The larger male students
wanted the school stopped for few
days during the Christmas holidays,
but the teacher did not want to stop,
so on yesterday the boys concluded
to turn him out iii the old-fashioned
way. that is, to dip his head under
water a few times; till he should
consent to give them the week for
Christmas. The teacher got wind
of what they intended to do, aud
concluded to get away. They ran
him to this place, (Maryville) caught
him and tied bunch of fire.crackers
to his coat tail, and turned him
loose. lie started in the direction

Whether he succeeded in getting the
quarter, this deponent knoweth not.

night. After exhausting all the

in town. they pressed into service

A Good Place to Study Faces
The Post Office as a De
tective Agent.

"You have no idea how many of
those fellows who prey on other peo-
pie come about u.s." said an old Post
Office clerk yesterday. People think
we don't see them when they inquire
for letters, sitting as we do inside of
a glass box, with nothing of us visi-
BILE but the face but if they can't
see in we can see out, and we take
note of what we see. We get to
know faces by sight as we'll as the
owners of them do. and take a cer-
tain sort of finterest in them. i have
caught myself feeling sorry enough
for young miss who came daily for
letters and never found any, until |
had a great mind to write her one
myself. so that she shouldn't be dis
appointed so often. That was when
was at the ladies' window, a long
time ago. She disappeared after q
while; don't know what became of
her; city swallowed Eer up, reckon.
There was another woman-lady,
l almost said-who lived in Newark.
and l knew it, and | knew her too,
who came regularly once week
and inquired for letters in another
name. / knew well enough she had
no such eager interest as her voice
betrayed in another persons letters.
Once when she received one l asked
her if she was Mrs. Statira, and she
said Yes and then | knew she lied.
:" Once detective came in and
asked me if certain man, whom he
described, called for letters. / knew
him as a person | had set down as
rogue without knowing anything of
him, and said, Yes, he is here near
ly every day. lie comes at such an
hour, and if you stay here / will
give you the wink. So he stayed
where he c1uld not be seen. but if
you will believe it, that scamp never
came near the place for a week; a
great pile of letters accumulated for
him. Finally the detec i've began 10

pressed it, and said Ire wonld just

ment the rascal appeared, and was

when l saw him sent a messenger
after the detective; next thing |
stayed away from the window as long
as I dared. When | did 90 to it l
couldn't hear very we'll, and had
hard work to catch his name. When
that had to be stopped | couldn't

Under the above head, we will pa

reader in this land that Republican

are no longer sovereigns, but the
slaves of the wretched caitfffs who

upon the doings of the Legislature.
we mention the fact that the 1egis-

for troops to disperse the "insur-
gents" as they call them, in Warren

ident is paving the way for an early
affirmative response. and TO comply
with the form of the Constitutional
prerequisite, has Issued q proclama-
tion giving the g dlsorderIy and tur-
bulent people FIVE days from the

that for nearly three weeks the peo-

have been peaceably following their
private avocations; that within that
time, no hostile shot has been fired,
nor any blade unshedthed, this inn

this state of affairs can continue
without the people Of the dismantled

patriots. Submission, at present,
seems to be our wfsesc course, for.
unless we misread the signs OF the
times, Grant and the Republican par
ty will be rebuked in 1876 by ma
jOrity that even a returning board
cannot afford to ignore.
