WASHINGTON, March IL. .AItis under
stood that o caucus Of the republican
Senators lis urged for tomorrow to
discuss sofAe matters which are giving
them muclfotrouble. They think, for
one thing, shat President Hayes Is too
lsnxious to get rid of them, and several
Of them did not think It altogether
proper for Secretary Sherman to be on
the f7oor Of the Senate to-day telling
Senators that nothing would please
President Hayes better than for them to
igo home. There is considerable dis
satisfaction at the determination which
it is said has been arrived at by the ad-
ministYationI to generally reappoint
those ofiiceholders whose commissions
are abeut expiring. Many republican
Senators agree with the Tennessee
Methodist minister that Grants aps.
pointses hsvel been in long enough.
They do NOT relish the idea which 10
dawning on them that they are to have
much influence in the matter ofsap-
pointments. The reapps:ntment Of the
present board Of Southern claims com
missioners is also objected to by some.
Then some Of the lmoreDradical Sena-
tors are anxious for the introduction
Of a resolution recognizing Packard
and Chamberlain similar 10 the reso-
luton recognizing Kellogg which was
passed at the extra session OF the Sem
ate In 1876. d 1t is doubtful whether
anything practical can come of discus-
sing these matters, but it will at any
rate afford the opportunity to let9off q

AN EDITOR SHOT DEAD.

CHICAGO, March 15th.-Stephen S.
Jones, editor of the Religio-P Philosophical
Journal, was shot dead in his Office this
afternoon by DR.. w. G. Pike, who i'm
mediately gave himself up. Jones lived
with his family at st. Charles, Illinois.
He was sixty-fve years old and reputed
wealthy. 1t appears Pike and his wife
have been rooming in Jones' building this
winter without paying rent, and it is sur
missed this may have caused the trouble.
Pike alleges as the reason for the killing,
that Jones seduced his'wife, and he pro
duces confession signed by his wife to
that effect. Mrs. Pike confirms her hus-
bands story, but the friends Of the de-
ceased declare he was incapable Of the
alleged crime. All the parties involved
are spiritualists, and the affair causes con-
siderable excitement. Pike was held
this P. NJ, without bail, to the Criminal
Court.

Mission of Plymouth church, Last

for the annual 800, which Mr.. Bowen

Hitherto California has lost half a
million of dollars yearly by inability
to make brandy and pay duty in sea-

three years before it is ripe for sale

This will double the make for 1877,

Napoleon BoDaparte on the War
in the East.

At st. Helena, Napoleon said to
O'Meara ain the course of few
years Russia will have COnstantinople,
the greatest part of Turkey, aud all
Greece. This hold to be as certain
as if it had already taken place. In
the natural coulse of things in a few
years Turkey must fall to Russia. The
greatest part of her population are
Greeks who you may say are Russians.
The powers it would injure, and who
would oppose it, are England, France,
Prussia and Austria. Now, as to Aus
tria it will he very easy for Russia to
engage her assistance by giving her
Servia and other provinces bordering
on the Austrian dominion reaching
near to Constantinople. The only ny
pothesis that France and England will
ever be allied with sincerely will be
in order to prevent this. But even
this alliance would no avail. France,
England land Prussia united cannot
prevent it. Russia and Austria can at
any time effect it. Once mistress Of
Constantinople, Russia gets all the
commerce of the Mediterranean, be-
comes a great naval power and God
knows what may happen. She will
quarrel with England, march off to In
dia an army of 10000 good soldiers
which to Russia is nothing, and 100000
Cossacks and others, and England loses
India. Above all other powers Russia
is most to be feared, especially by
England. Her soldiers are Drawer than
the Austrians, and she haze the means
OF raising as many as she pleases. A
hundred yeare hence l shall be ap-
plauded for my efforts in re-establish-
ing the Kingdom of Poland; and Eu-
rope, and especially England, will la
ment that I did not succeed. There
are only three means eff attacking
England with effect-detaching Ire
land from her, capturing her Indian
possessions, or descent on her
coast"

HENRY ST. JOHN.

THE Cossack cavalrymen are all
comparatively young men aud have
young wives. Whenever they set out
on a campaign, they buy white scarf,
or handkerchief to take with them.
At the close OF their period of service,
they return to their villages and are
met by the whole population. Now
wife who has been unfaithful to her
lord, kneels down before him in the
road, puts her face in the dust and
places her husbands foot on her neck.
This is a concession of guilt, and at
the same time prayer for forgiveness.
If the husband then covers his wife's
head with the white scarf, it means
that he forgives her and agrees to for
get her fault. If the white handker-
chief is not produced, the woman re-
turns straight to her fathers house
without again entering her husbands
dwelling, and divorce is pronounced.
MIR. MacGaham recounts tragical
story which soldier told him on the
Danube. A returning Cossack was
was informed by a malicious neiShbol
before he reached his home that his
wife had been unfaithful. His com.
rades perceived that he had all of a
sudden taken to drink and dissipation
although he was not man given to
these vices. When he reached his
village his wife, as LIE feared, came
forward, knelt down, aud put her face
10 the dust at his feet. The specta
tors saw him look at her as she lay il
the dust for long time. Two OIL
threetimes he put his hand in hi;
breast for the white HANDKERCHIEF as il
he were going to cover the repentan1
woman's head-two or three times the
movement was restrained. Finally, al
if driven by sudden impulse, he
drew his sword, and with one stroke
severed hrr head from her body. The
punishment for the crime was two
months Imprisonment, while the ma
licious neighbor who had taken thu
trouble to inform him beforehand o
the wife's misconduct was sentenced
to Siberia for three years.

Shakespeare as an Actor.

There is a tradition that Shakes
peare played the part of king with
peculiar grace and majesty. In con-
frmation of this a pretty story is told.
1t is said that one day when the queen
was in the theatre, Shakespeare MINI
licked royalty so we'll that Elizabeth,
who was always ready to have little
fun with clever man, even though
he was poor player, whispered to
her ladies that she would try if she
could not make this pretended mon
arch turn into an awkward fellow
enough at a moments warning. Ac-
cordingly at a critical point in the
scene the queen, who was sitting just
over the stage, which was then held to
be the place of honor, let her hand
kerchief drop at the feet of Shakes
peare, who was just then standing
close below her. Her mischievous
majesty expected to see the actor start
and redden and lose his cue. Instead
of that he finished his speech with all
his usual power, and without seeming
to notice the handkerchief. Then
STOPPING and picking it up, he gave it
hocl, IN the uuepn with n how. in
which there was an Undesirable mix
ture of dignity and homage, saying, as
he did so, these words to his train of
stage courtiers
"But ere we get to horse and ride away !;
Let us pick up our sisters handker-
