Drunken Scene ut a Grave
Scrnnt0n Repnblicdn.


A shocking scene occurred at a
funeral which took place i'm one
of the suburbs of this city few
days ago. There was a large at
tendance, and the immediate rela-
tives Of the deceased were so over
come by sorrow that the burial was
left to the Care of some friends,
who volunteered their services in
paying the last sad tribute to the
dead. Numbers gathered around
the grave to see the coffin lowered,
but charge were so intoxicated
that it was clumsily done. Before
fore the first spadeful of earth was
thrown on the coffin, one of the
party fell Into the grave and could
not extricate himself. A compan-
ion, no better off thar he,attemp,-
ed to rescue him, but he also fell
into the grave and could not ex-
trica,c himself and there both
struggled in vain until some of
the sober attendants, who were
shocked and justly indignant at
the occurrence, lifted the drunken
pair out, and pushing them aside,
kept them away.

They are far more practical than

experience is illustrative of this
phase of the female character. Mr.
Marshall's regiment held its re-
union in Danbury on Monday.
The day opened with clear sky
and bright sun. Mr. Marshall
was highly eiated. After break
fast he made ready to go down to
meet the boys as they came in on
the train. He got out on the
stoop,a nd taking look over the
broad expanse of sunlight, exul-
tingly said to his wife, who was
standing in the door:

There is nothing young UNI
married man likes better than to
go to dinner at the house of a
friend and to be asked TO carve
the turkey. He never carved a
turkey in his life,and with an old
maid on one side of him watching
him closely and on the other
side fair young girl for whom
he has tenderness, he feels en-
barrassed when he begins. First
he pushes the knife down toward
one of the thigh joints. He can't
find the joint, and he plunges tine
knife around in search of 1t until
he makes mince meat OF the whole
quarter of the fowl. Then he
Shai pens his knife and tackles it
again. AT last, while making q
terrible dig,h hits the joint sud-
denly, and the leg fits into the
maiden lady's lap, while her dress
front is covered with a shower of
stuffing. Then he goes for the
other leg, and when the young
lady tells him he looks warm, the
weather seems to him suddenly to
become 400 degrees warmer. This
leg he finally pulls loose with his
fingers. He lays it on the edge
OF the plate and while he is hack
ing at the wing he gradually push
es the leg over on the clean table,
cloth,and when he picks it up it
slips from his hand into the gra-
Wy dish and splashes the gravy
around for six square yards. just
as he has made up his mind that
the turkey has no joints to its
wings, the host asks him if he
thinks the Indians can really be
civilized. The girl next to him
laughs, and he says he will ex.
plain his views upon the subject
after dinner. Then he sops his
brow with his handkerchief and
presses the turkey so hard with
the fork that it slides off the dish
and upsets goblet Of water on
the girl next to him. Nearly fran
,.c,he gouges off in mutilated
condition and digs into the breast
Before he can cut any off,the host
asks him why he don't help out
the turkey. Bewildered he puts
10th legs on plate and hands
them to the maiden lady, and then
helps the young girl to platefu
of stuffing and while taking her
plate in return, knocks over Il
gravy dish. Then he sits down
with the calmness of despair and
fans himself with napkin, while
the servant clears the table. He
doesn't discuss the Indian ques-
tion that day. He goes home
right after dinner and spends the
night trying to decide whether
, commit suicide or to take les.

Interesting Ruins.

The London Examiner says
that never has there been a richer
crop of archaeological excavation
than just now, whether produced
according to set plane or brought
to light by mere chance. AT Bonn
on the Rhine. on the occasion of
the erection ola new building con-
nected with the University, rem
nants of Roman houses have been
found, showing signs of confiagra-
tion-probably the result of a
Struggle between Germanic tribes
and the foreign dominion.
On the walls of the houses there
were beautiful frescoes. which UNI
fortunately broke in pieces when
taken out. The picture represents
an amazon on a horse, with a lance
in her right hand, her mantle
driven back by the wind. Near
her there are some foot soldiers
who, SO far as can be seen, appear
to parry her thrusts, The colors
are well-preserved, A bronze
statue, representing a fine youth,
probably q charioteer ; a little vo-
tive altar, with a much mutilated
inscription ; patters oven, with
many urns and tiles ; numberless
objects for every day nse-such as
dishes; cups of black clay with an
inscription in white bottles large
and small A.; buckles dice pencils
in ivory or bronZe;with ornamen-
tai taps; coins contained in urns of
partly colossal dimensions, and
many other things were dug up
at the same time.
These discoveries have been
made along an old well-known
Roman high road. The excava-
tions are stu continued under the
supervision ofthe Bonn Society of
Archaeologists, whose president
s Prof Weerth. Many more in
teresting finds are expected.

NAL ADMINISTRATION AND INCOMPE-
TENCY."

The Dem cratic members of the special
committee to inquire into the judicial con-
duct of Judge Hawkins, have arrived at a
very lame AID inpotent conclusion. Hav-
ing failed, after partial and one-sided
examination, at which the accused was
not represented, either in person or by
counsel, to elicit anything of definite or
fragrant character, they have done the
best they could with the er parte testi-
mony, and came to the sapient conclu-
sion that he has been guilty Of ''malad-
ministration and incompetency." In the
opinion of some of the legal lights of the
House, Judge Steele is guilty Of the same
ofenses, because he required certain pro-
ceedings in criminal case to go before
the grand jury, as the law distinctly pro-
vides, and not upon information, as
some people, who are above the law,
wanted to have it. As he has offended a
few members CT the New Orleans bar, as
well as the published opinions of two or
three learned reporters, he certainly ought
to be included in the resolution to i'm
peach Judge Hawkins. Doubtless the
committee could find plenty of unlicensed
lawyers ready to swear that Judge Steele
does not know as much law as they do
They found some such testimony against
Judge Hawkins. If we could believe the
charge true of either of these eminent ju-
rists, We should demand their instant i'm
peachment. They would richly deserve the
punishment Judge Hawkins has had
occasion several times to protect his court
from lmpertinence and insult, and that is
called maladministration. He turned the
fawcet on the eloquence of Mari, and
Messrs. Semmes and New have failed to
win his judicial smiles on every occasion
of their appearance before him. For
these things he is said to be incompetent.
We believe Judge Hawkins has had as
few of his decisions reversed by the Su-
preme Court as any jurist of the State
who has passed on so many and such
grave matters. One of them recently
came back from the United States Su-

LEGISLATIVE TINKERING,

The Democratic papers have copied and
published the titles of some dozen or six
teen House bills, which, it is claimed,
''look to reform" As nearly all are re-
peal bills, intended to transfer political
power from the Republican to the Demo-
cratic party, we are at loss to see where
in they are possessed of any reformatory
virtue.
To begin with, there are three printing
bills, which are designed to peddle put
the public printing to anybody who is
willing to promise to do it for next to no.
thing, and trust to the chances of relief
bills for fair compensation. Judicial
advertisements are to be so distributed
that every man to be perfectly safe will
be required to buy every paper which is
published in the parish, to guard against
a legal notice disguised in obscurity, or
hidden away in the dry chaff Of an Or
binary double sheet daily with supple
ment." The present printing law, with
the practice under it, has been in force
ever since the adoption of the constitu-
ton of 1852, and gives satisfaction to every
body, except the opposition newspapers.

SHOTGUN SUFFRAGE,

We never expected to find any under a
Republican government committing them
selves to the doctrine that the right of
suffrage depends upon the qualification
of force. The Picoylne, treating of the
Returning Board, thus meets the objec-
ton that such a tribunal is necessary to re-
dress the effects of intimidation at the
polls:
We will be told again, as we have been
told 50 often. that it is necessary to guard
against intimidation. Without entering
into the discussion of that question as q
matter of fact it is sufficient to reply that q
majority which ca,, be intimidated is essen
italy inc Ompetent to discharge the duty Of
suffrage.
1t is gravely laid down as an axiom that
a majority which can be inundated is
essentially incompetent to discharge the
duty of suffrage. What, then, becomes
of the right of the old, the infrm, the
timid or the feeble? This certainly solves
the question of female suffrage, since
ladies could not be expected to force
their way to the polls under fire, and
the reticule would be q poor defense
against revolver.
We have one set of men who insist that
