An Unhappy Attachment.

A painful scene occurred in a church in
Bucks Township, Ohio. few Sundays ago.
The church had lately undergone repair.
Among other improvements a new coat OF
paint was placed on the pews, followed by a
coat of yarnish. The result was most pleas
ing to the eye; but, unfortunately, the var
nish had been applied SO late in the week
that it had not had time to become hard be-
fore Sunday, when the congregation focked
to their seats. No apparent inconvenience
was suffered until the clergyman was about to
deliver the benediction, when the congrega-
ton were Mortified TO find that they were IN
able to stand up; they were, in fact, glued or
rather vanished to their seats.
Their spasmodic efforts to rise were most
distressing to witness in vain did the clergy
man exhort them from the pulpit to resigna-
ton. They were seized with kind of panic,
all the more frightful because they were for
the moment powerless. At last, by what
seemed to be simultaneous and herculean
Jerk, they managed to tear themselves from
their sittings ; but at what sacrifice! The
pews were literally covered with fragments of
Sunday apparel. Shreds of silk, lawns, cali
CO, broadcloth and cashmere were left as
souvenirs of the varnish used in identifying
that church, and the hapless congregation,
rushing from the doors, hurried homeward
with an expression on their faces as though
their hearts were even more severely rent
than their garments.

Witness-Solomon says let another praise

Mr.. Evarts-What on earth has Solomon

The Court here administered rebuke to

mony, which referred to making notes of the
testimony at the Plymouth Church investiga-
ton. Witness also said to-day, II went to

Relics of the GuillOtine.
Paris Letter to the philadelnhia Press

Paris Letter to the Philadelphia Press
A curious but sinister little collection of
curiosities is shortly to be disposed of at pub
lie sale. There recently died in one of the
narrow courts running from the Place ST.
Jacquet, a very old man named Father Jacquet
who was once one of the assistants of that
famous family of executioners, the Samsons.
It used to be his duty to take care of the
woodwork Of the guiilotine, the different
beams, planks. etc., being always left in his
charge.
In 1882 he retired from public life, and
when the precious deposit was withdrawn
from him he retained various relics of his old
calling with which he formed a little muse
UNI. This, however, he was very reluctant
to show, and allowed but few persons to visit
it. The chief relics it contained were the
narrow steep staircase of eleven steps by
which Louis XVI assembled the scaffold a
patent pulley for raising the knife of the
guillotine, on which was engraved the name
of Robespierre, and the garments worn by
various celebrated criminals. This unpleas-
ant museum is shortly to be sold by Father
Jacquet's heirs.

Sheridan Wanted in Mississippi.
From the Vicksburo Herald

From the Vicksburg Herald
The following from the Aberdeen Examiner
OF Wednesday, shows very clearly that Gen.
Sheridan is needed in Monroe county. Why
Gov. Ames has not telegraphed him for more
troops is something that puzzles us. The
Examiner says: The negro tenantry on the
places of DR.. R. A. MINIS and others in this
county, having made liberal investment in
whisky last Saturday, proceeded to get up an
'.insurrection' among themselves in anticipa-
ton of the reorganization of the "out-
rage convention" at Chattanooga. The
result was that an old woman, said
to be seventy-fve years of age, had an
eye gouged out, young woman had several
OF her teeth stove in, a negro named Josh
jackson was knocked senseIess, and when
last heard from was in a precarious condi-
ton another negro was shot in the arm with
pistol, and a number of other brethren were
badly beaten up with fence rails. As the par
ties were all negroes, we have no idea that
the matter will result in another incendiary
proclamation from Ames, or a special message
from Grant, but doubtless in the event of any
OF the negroes dying from the result of their
injuries. they will be put to the credit of
Southern outrages," and added to the "po-
litical MURDERS" like every killing in the
Southern States has been. We understand
that several arrests have been made by Bailiff
Willis

THE POLICY OF THE DEMOCRACY.

This administration programme is alarming
or harmless, accordingly as it shall be met by
the Democrats. A violent counter-pOlicy is
the very thing it is intented to provoke, and
for that reason the very thing that should be
avoided. Nothing is clearer than that the
result of the next presidential election is in
the hands of the Democrats provided they
demean themselves through the critical period
between now and November, 1876, with wise
composure.
Let them be careful and consider every
| step they take before they take it. 1t were
| better to do nothing at all than to do a wrong
| thing in fact their wisest policy is one of
| almost absolute silence and non-action. This
is proved by the desperate efforts their op-
ponents are making to irritae them into rash
speech and conduct. The country will bear
much from Republicans it will bear very
little from Democrats.
Strange as it may be, the people Of the
North will condone ten crimes committed by
the Republican party for one of which it
would condemn the Democracy. A violent
Democratic speech in Congress will cause
more alarm than the invasion of the Louisiana
Legislature by Federal troops. The Demo-
Gratis hold the advantage they gained last No
vember at the price of patience and self
control.
The Republicans are rising from the No
vember prostration, girding their loins, and
preparing for desperate effort to avert the
doom which impends over them. If they can
make a case of quasi rebellion in the South,
shout their old battie-cry in the North and
alarm the country with the brandished symp-
toms of Democratic reaction, they expect by
these signs to succeed and, with the usual
amount of Democratic folly, and few ex-
hibitons of anti-negro violence in the South
to aid them, they may succeed. If the Demo-
Gratis in Congress can school themselves into |
a patient submission to what they cannot pre-
vent; if they will carry the violent measures
OF the administration before the country
and demand its judgment thereon, and if,
above all, the Southern whites shall only avoid
the resistance which the Civil Rights bill is
intended to provoke them into-the desper-
ate programme of the Administration for car
rying the next presidential election-for this
is its sole object-will signally fail, and the
great contest of next year will end in crush
ng defeat to the military party at Washing
'on.-St. Louis Republican, FEB. G.

NEW YORK MATTERS-THE NORTH RIVER
FROZEN OVER.

New YORK, Feb. 10.-To-day, for the first
time since 1885, an ice bridge was formed on
the North River, by which four men crossed
from the foot of Fourteenth street to Hobo
ken. An immense crowd of spectators wit
messed the feat.
At session of the Fish Culturists Associa-
ton to-day, an elaborate paper on the geo.
graphical distribution of fishes was read by
Prof. Hull, of the Smithsonian Institute
Prof. Baird, on behalf of the United States
Commission, reviewed the work done by the
commission, and said that during the year
between two and three millions Of fish had
been distributed to waters all over the United
States, the results being quite satisfactory.
