A DANGEROUS GAME.

THE PATIENCE OF THE PEOPLE NEARLY
ExHAUsTED-TIMKLYw WORDS OF WARN
ING.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan, 15.-The Eyening
Democrat, in a leading editorial, refer
ring to the probabilities of Gov. Pack
ard attempting to retake the courthouse
and police stations, says: "Mr. Packard
is playing dangerous game. The pa
thence of this people is well-nigh ex-
hausted, and If they are forced into o
conflict which is calculated and designed
to rob them again of the government
OF their choice and the blessings of an
honest and efficient administration, their
wrath will be difficult to restrain, and we
for one hope no hand will be able to re-
strain pit.
If Mr.. Packard forces this conflict we
appeal to our friends to spare, as far as
final and somplete victory will permit,
the lives of the metropolitans and the ne
gro dupes. We advise them to let the
full weight of their vengence fall upon
the leaders of this iniquftous, murderous
and most damnable scheme and to follow
Packard into his hotel, and if need be
into the custom-house itself, and hang
him from it's highest window"

THE PRESIDENTS MEANING.

HE SAYS HE DOES NOT INTEND To REC
oGNIzE PACKARD, But To PRESERVE
THE STATUS QUo.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Those who
have seen the President to-day say he
protests that he has not recognized the
Packard Government in Louisiana, and
does not intend to, notwithstanding the
nature of his telegram to General Augur.
The portion of the despatch which states
that should there be necessity of recog-
milton of either it must be Mr.. Packard,
is in exact accordance, the President says
with the views stated in these dispatches
on January l, as on the decision he there
asserted, Mr.. Packard has the prima facie
case from the Returning Board, A great
pressure has been brought to bear upon
the President to induce him to give a
more unqualified support to the Packard
Government, but this he decided to do un-
til the Congressional committees shall
have made their reports. Messrs.
Edmunds and Conkling appealed to the
President on Friday not to recognize
Packard, but Morton is almost hourly
imploring him to be more prompt. Nor
ton has also telegraphed to Pinchback to
retrace his steps.
Governor Nichols telegraphed Represen-
tative Gibson as follows; 81 am informed
that apprehensions exist that a recount
of the electoral vote is to be made here
under the mandate of my Supreme Court
and have therefore, despatched the Presi-
dent that 70 such intention had been
entertained, but that the decision touch
ing that vote must oe made by Congress"

OUR MINIsTER's SERMON

The minister said last night. says he,
Don't be afraid of givin;
If your life amt worth nothin, to other
folks,
Why, what's the use of livin'?'
And that's what say to my wife; saysI:
There's Brown, the miserable sinner,
He'd sooner beggarwould starve than give
A cent toward buyin' dinner.
tell you our minister's prime, he is,
But couldn'tquite determine,
When heard him givin' 1t right and left
Just who was hit by his sermon.
or course. there couldn't be no mistake
When he talked of long g-wnded prayin',
For Peters and Johnson they sot and scowI'd
Ateverything he was sayin'.
And the minister went on to say,
"There's various kinds of cheatln',
And religions as good for every day
As 1t is to bring to q meetin',
1 don't think much OF that man that gives
The loud Amens at my preachin'.
And spends his time the followin' week
In cheatin' and overreachin'."
guess that dose was bitter enough
For n man like Jones to swaller
But l noticed he didn't open his mouth.
Not once, after that, to holler;
Hurrah, says 1, for the minister
OF course l said 1t quiet
Give us some more of this open talk,
It's very rcfreshin' diet
The minister hit 'em every time;
And when lie spoke of fashion,
And rlgsin' out in bows and things.
As woman's rulin' passion.
And comm to church to see the STYLES
couldn't help wlnkin'
And nuddin' my wife, says I, "That's
you
And guess 1t sot her thinkin'.
Says to myself, that sermons pat,
But man is queer creation,
And I'm much afraid that most of the folks
Won't take the application.
Now, If he had said word about
Ny personal mode of sinnin',
I'd have gone TO work to right myself,
And not set there a-grinnin'.
just then the minister said says he,
"And now I've come to the fellers
Who've lost this shower by usin' their
friends
As sort of moral umbrella.
"Go home" says he, land find your faults
Instead of huntin' your brothers.
eco home," says he. land wear the coats
You tried to fit on for others"
My wife she nudged, and Brown he wlnked
And there were lots o. smilin'
And lots o lookin' at our ,sew-
1t sot my b;ood a bilin'
Says l, to myself, our minister
Is gettin little bitter;
I'll tell him, when meetin's out, that
Amt at all that kind of crittcr!

4 TRIP 1R0TND TIE WORLD.

AN EXPEDITION FITTING OUT FOR MAX
ING EXPLORATIONS IN UNKNOWN RE-
GIoNs.
The Brooklyn UNION says that Mr..
James o. Woodruff, OF ofIndlanapolis, Ind.
member Of the Brooklyn Yatch Club,
contsmplates undertaking an expedition
in the interest of science around the
globe, to occupy about two years. 1t is
to be made in steamer, to be chartered
for the pupose, of about ], 900 tons burden
fitted with every convenience for study,
lecturing, work, &C., provided with steam
launches, boats, sufficiently armed and
commanded by experienced officers and
select crew. 1t is also intended to car
ry full supply of scientific apparatus and
material for the preservation of specimens
in natural history. The object of the
protector is to visit points of general and
special interest to obtain knowledge of
the he,mannerSand customs ofdifferent races;
to study architecture. archaeology, ge ology
and the flora and fauna of regions little
known to the scientific world. The prep
arations are said to include the organiza-
ton of scientific faculty of ten profess
sors, and the accommodations of sixty
or eighty students. The intention is to
have the steamer leave New York in July
next, touching at the Bahamas on its way
to the mouths of the Amazon, from
whence a party is to ascend and make
explorations. The next point Is to be Rio
Janerio, then Valparaiso, after which it
is intended to visit the Polynesian Islands,
Australia, New Guinea, the Philippine,
Islands, Manila, HonglKong, Canton and
Calcutta, from where an opportunity will
be given for making an excursion through
India, rejoining the steamer at Bombay.
Returning, the steamer will pass through
the Suez Canal to Alexandria, from
whence a passage up the Mediterranean
will enable those who desire to do so to
pay visits to Palestine, Constantinople,
Naples and the surrounding historical re-
gions, after which the party is to go to
Paris, where expeditions are to start for
various parts of the Continent. The
steamer, it is said, will fly the flag of the
Brooklyn Yatch Club, and adopt its uni
form. The students are to be exercised
in military tactics, to enable them to pro-
tect themselves in uncivilized countries.

DUEL LAW IN DELAWARE.

Judge Houston says that the law of
the State is very mild on the subject of
duels. In the only one he remembers
that between j. Watson Webb and Tom
Marshal, near the nothern boundary of
to be any desire to enforce the statue
He was then Secretary of State, under
Gov. Cooper, and had occasion to know
that Webb was nervous aboutIprosecu-
ton, and that Gov. Cooper had made up
his mind to quietly ignore the affair un-
less he should be forced by the action of
Grand Jury to take some official oogni-
zance of it.. A similar feeling, Judge
Houston thinks, would prevail now. If
a Grand Jury should present the matter,
however, it would be necessary for the
Governor to issue his requisition for the
offenders. rS.--DELAwAREAN

The removal of ths state capital from
Harrisburg to Philadelphia is still being
agitated with much vigor by the press o
Pennsylvania, and the Evening Telegraph
pro minent journal of the Quaker City
remarks that the only persons who are
interested in keeping the capital where it
is are the citizens of Harrisburg and its
immediate vicinity, but there can be no
doubt whatever that the interests of the
people of the state at large would be ma
terially advanced by removal to Phila-
delphia.

The Mississippi's Big N outh.

WASHINGTON, January 15.-The Sec
retary of War has received report from
Major Comstock, the officer detailed to
inspect and report upon the Eads improv-
ments at the South Pass of the Mississippi
river. The report mentions that chan

DEMOCRATIC SENATOR'S.
Considerable anxiety is felt as to the proba
bic course of the democratic senators in regard
to the Hayes appointments upon which Conk
ling, Blaine. &c, expect to make fight. They
have thrown out Il hint that their course will
be greatly influenced by the course ofrepublican
senators in regard to the admission of Eustis
and Spofford from Louisiana. If Conkling
Cameron, &c, are disposed TO deal fairly with
the democrats in that matter, they are ready to
help them to defeat Hayes obnoxious APP
pointments, otherwise they will probably vote
with the body of republican senators to coz
firm the whole of them.

Lectures, SC,
REV. THOS. PARRY.

REV. TlIOS. FAIRY.
The free lecture of the Rev Thos Parry, of the
Ottawa Presbyterian church, on Science and Re.
ligion, was changed from Thursday to Monday
evening, on account OF other lectures having
been advertised for Thursday evening, and drew
out only fair audience. Ii was an exhaustive
and admirable review of the present situation of
the agreements and conflicts Of science and rcg
ion, the speaker taking up each train of scientific
speculation in turn and tracing il through its
ramifcations and bringing it back in a circle, SO
to speak, to its starting point. The lecture
showed hcrculcan labor and research, and was
really most admirable throughout. 1t was album
dainty spced with trcnchant thrusts, pungent
hits and happy Illustrations.
THE sLAYToN ENTERTAINMENT.
Mrs. slayton and the Chicago Quartettc gave
the third entertainment of the lecture course on
last Saturday evening. 1t was on the whole Go
those who could hear very enjoyable. Mrs.
Slayton is reader of the first order. Her eocu.
| ton Is about perfect Her action is excellent,
free from commonplace, and very effective.
Her voice, however, was either unequal to the
demands of our Opera House or she had not
measured the house, for scare half the audience
were able to hear more than half she said. Had
that fault been remedied, we should pronounce
her one of the most powerful and attractive read
ers we have in Ottawa The Quartctte playeC
but second fiddle" though their voices harmon
| izcd well and showed evidence Of some culture
though their selection, were trihing and inctiec
tive. They had, too, profound contempt for n
encore when at last they did secure one,
| The chief fault Of the evening was the codncs
of the house of which we heard many complaints
As this is the second time there has been cause o
complaint in this regard, no doubt the manage
will take extra pains TO have it remcdied.
| MRS. ELLEN ]. FOSTER,
the Iowa lady lawyer, delivered her first temper
ance lecture at the Methodist church on Wednes
day evening to an Intelligent and appreciative
though by no means crowded audience, on &c
count Of the disagrccable weather. Those WHIT
heard her, however, enjoyed decided treat. Sh
is an admirable speaker, and fairly bubbles owe
with striking and original ideas On Thursda
| evening the weather was again so thoroughly
| abominablc, that il was concluded to defer IN
| lecture to some more favorable evening.
| This afternoon Mrs. Foster has arranged for
special meeting Of the young ladies Of the cit,
in the parlors Of the Methodist church at
