A BEAUTIFUL ANSWER. When the
Emperor of Germany was lately on
visit in the distant portion of his domin
ions he was welcomed by the school
children ofthe village. After the speak
er had made speech for them. he
thanked them. Then taking an orange
from a plate, he asked: "To what king
dom does this belong?" "To the vege-
table, sire,' replied little girl. The
emperor took a gold coin from his pock-
ct, and holding it up asked, "and to
what kingdom, does this belong?" "To
the mineral, sire" replied the little girl.
And to what kingdom do belong,
then 2" asked the emperor. The little
girl eolored deeply, for she did not like
to say the animal kingdom, as be thought
she would, lest his majesty should be of.
Tended, when bright thought came, and
she said with radient eyes, "To Gods
kingdom, sire" The emperor was deep-
Iy moved. A tear stood in his eye. He
placed his hand on the childs head. and
n the most devout manner said. Grant

Ma. II. r. STEVENS:
DEAR SIR-Though n stranger | want to inform

amputate the limb though upon CONSULTATION con-
eluded not to do so as my whole body full of
Scrotula they deemed 1t advisable to cut the sore
which was paintCl beyond description and there
was quart OF matter run from this one sore
The physicians all gave up to die, and said
they could do no more for me, Both of my legs
were drawn up TO my seat, and il was thought if
did get up again would be a cripple for life.
W hen in this condition saw VEGETINE adyer-
tised, and commenced taking it in NJ arch and fol-
lowed on with 1t until had used sixteen bottles
and this morning am going to plough corn, a well
man., All my townsmen say it is a miracle 10 see me
round walking and working,
In conclusion l will add when was enduring
such great suffering, from that dreadful disease
Scrofula, prayed to the Lord above to tax me out
of this world, but NEGETINE has restored to
me the blessings of health desire more than ever
to 1--we. that may be of some service to my fellow
men, and know Of no better way to aid suffering
humanity than to inclose you this statement of my
case with an earnest hope that you will publish it,
and It will afford me pleasure TO reply TO any COM

The photograph of the check-shiri
robber shot at Northtield, Minnesota,
and reported to be Clel. Miller, was not
identified by any body until n few days
ago, when an old lady in st. Charles
county, on seeing it, fell to the floor in
a fainting fit. On her recovery she said
with tears in her eyes that the dead
man was her own nephew. John Jar
rett, a brother-in-law of the Noungcrs.

The person alluded to above lived,
we believe, some two years ago, near
Delhi, where he was visited, since the
war, by one or two of the Houngers, his
brothers-in-law. He was compelled to
leave that vicinity because of being
suspected as one of the murderers of a
German stock-trader near Delhi. He
was, we believe, ~ member of Quantrell's
partisans during the war.

FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

1t will be seen that the foregoing re-
turns are incomplete even as to one vi
the parishes named, besides we have
no official figures from the four NIissis-
sippi river parishes nor from the parish
of Claiborne. In the latter parish
Farmers majority is something over
100, which added to his majority a.
above would place Farmers total ma
jorities at $3.50, or whereabouts. The
four river parishes give Leonard total
nl,jority, as reported, of about $500, or
2l7Omorc votes altogether than Farmer.
But the vote in Madison is in question,
as the boxes and returns of three pre-
cincts were stolen and destroyed by
one wing of the Radicals. Surprising,
however, the vote claimed for Leonard
be thrown out, there would still be left
according to this estimate, Il majority
of over 300 for Leonard in the district

lock, neither candidate having 20, ma
iority of the whole number Of Electors
appointed" The Constitution (from
which we quote) provides, in suci, a
contingency, that, "If no person have
such majority, then from the persons
having the highest numbers not exceed
ing three on the list Of those voted for
as President, the House of Representa-
tives shall choose immediately, by ballot
the President"
We do not believe that either house
of Congress will he satisfied with the
count of the other of the vote OF the
three States of South Carolina, Lou
isiana and Florida. The Senate will
insist on the ssforms Of law" and the
House on the will of the people as OK
pressed by their ballots. The conflict
is not likely to be Terminated with IA
compromise where the difference is SO
great. Hence, we conclude that the
House will insist upon respecting the
| will of the people and in choosing the
| successor Of Grant. The vantage
ground is unquestionably with the
House, fortified as it is,by all precedent,
the law and the Constitution and We
mistake the character Of the Democratic
congressman II they fail to demand that
Tilden shall be, rs he has right to be,
the next President of the United States.
What will follow it is useless for I,
small interior journal to conjecture.
There is ample time for speculation be-
tween this and the 4th of March.

him for Senator, returned to Monroe,
bringing with him Gorham and a De-
putty u. $. Marshal. There was ample
time for a canvass, aud these three, ac-
colnpanied by squads of soldiers, made
IL thorough Canvass of the alluvial por-
ton of the parish where the colored
voters mostly live. They were busy,
night and day, for two weeks, and
came and went without scratch.
Drums and flies, followed by the
troops, beat and played along the high
ways to arouse the colored voters. They
were partially successful at some points,
but their efforts in the aggregate were
unavailing.
The election ensued, under the man.
agement off Radical supervisor. There
were special constables, special deputy
sheriffs, and deputy U. S. Marshals,
the latter selected with direct reference
to their strong Radical proclivities and
nearly all negroes. Every means was
used by the Radicals to carry this par
ish, even to the congregating of large
numbers of negroes armed at Monroe, Il
day before the election. What was the
result? A Democratic victory, in spite
of troops, tramps, and every
conceivable engineering to change the
colored voters.
Now, why plead intimidation: Why
! propose to count only the Monroe
BOXES, and exclude the boxes in wards
S, 6 and Z? If the Monroe precinct was
Radical and the vote was fair; the 9Th,
9Th and 7th wards were as certainly
Democratic and the election equally as
fair. Trenton, Cadets Store, louisville
and Mt. Vernon polls have always
voted Democratic, and the election was
rs fair and peaceable there on the 7th,
as ut Monroe, to say nothing OF the
other Democratic precincts in the par
ish; and II Monroe is to be counted the
same reasoning will compel a count OF
those precincts also. This would give
!. Democratic majority ofG23 AS against
:, majority OF 395 for the Radicals OF
Il difference of 22S votes in favor of the
Democrats. There can be nothing but
r,scality in excluding one set of polls
more than the other, and the officials
who shall claim to act as such by the
vote of the Monroe precinct alone may
expect trouble. The aggregated earn
ings of all the Offices in this parish
could not induce us to occupy the place
of Il single officer holding Office under
such outrageous pretensions.

day for shooting, and the crowd was larger
than on Tuesday. There was much disap-

to shoot By teams but by individuals, be-
cause it was impossible to induce all mem
bers OF the different teams to come.
