AnecdOte of Dom Pedro.

The Emperor of Brazil, who is at
present travelling in Egypt, met with a
disagreeable adventure the other day in
Cairo. His Majesty is very fond of
donkey-riding, and one morning, hav-
ing descended into the street in jacket
and small cap, with light switch I'M
der his arm, mounted one of these little
animals, and trotted off on an expedi-
ton through labyrinth of back streets.
On returning from his ride, not wishing
to alight from his donkey in front of
his hotel, he pulled it up few hundred
yards from the building, and, not hay
ing any "small change" in his pocket,
gave the donkey-driver g guinea instead
of piastre. The donkey-driver, how
ever, had never before seen a coin OF
this nature, and, looking frst at the
guinea and then at the Emperor, came
to the conclusion that the guinea was
merely worthless counter, and that an
attempt was being made to "chisel"
him. The row he made was terrific;
rushing after the Emperor, who had
walked off at rapid pace to the hotel,
where his suite were anxiously awaiting
him, the donkey-driver assailed his
Majesty with all the most horrible oaths
in the Arab vocabulary. The Emperor,
who does not understand single word
of Arabic, but saw that the man was
la5oring under misrepresentation, en-
deavored in vain to explain to him that
the coin was gold, and not copper. In
the meantime, other donkey-drivers
hurried to the spot, and, taking the part
of their mate, followed the Emperor
with storm of imprecations. Thus
surrounded by mob of donkeys and
their drivers, the hapless Dom Pedro at
last reached his hotel, where the whole
affair was explained, and the donkey
drivers, discovering the true state of
the case, miraculously disappeared in
the twinkling of an eye.

Whisky Paralyzing a Child.

About two weeks ago member of
one of our most respected families was
taken sick, and four-ounce bottle of
Bourbon whisky was procured at a drug
store for medicine. The bottle contain
ing the whisky was put upon a shelf in
a closet, as it was supposed, out of the
reach of the children. On Wednesday
morning little fve-year-old son hap
pened to get hold of the bottle of whis-
ky. He tasted the liquid, and, thinking
it was good, gave it to his three-year-
old brother to taste also. The latter
drank a considerable portion of the
stuff A short time afterward the moth
er noticed that her youngest son was
drowsy, and she put him to bed. She
soon afterward went to the bed and
found that he was paralyzed, being I'M
able TO speak or to move. A physician
was sent for, who quickly OWNED the
cause of the sickness. He administer
ed antidotes, but as yet without success
in bringing the child to entire conscious
ness. The latter rouses little at times,
and again falls into the former state of
lethargy Press.

None to Caress.

A few evenings since, man who had
been unenterprising and unfortunate in
love determined to commit suicide to
relieve himself of the cares attendant
upon being in Virginia with no one to
caress. He concluded to make his
death somewhat peculiar, and, loading
up aR English "bull-dog," started
about midnight for the Catholic ceme-
terry. His idea was to shoot himself in
the graveyard, where his remains could
be buried without the expense attend
ant upon transportation. Full of this
original conception, the man wrote a
letter to his landlady on B Street, and
wendell his way toward the spot where
he expected to relieve himself of the
burdens of existence. On his way he
attempted to take a short cut across a
cAicken-ranch, and here an unexpected
accident occurred. As he was about
halfway across the lot, an honest
watch dog's bay fell upon his ears, and
in moment the animal was coming up
vigorously, with the most savage in
tentions. Pulling out his six-shoOter,
he opened upon the dog, and stood him
off quite successfully. Suddenly, how
ever, the owner of the ranch hove in
sight with double barreled shotgun
and covered the unfortunate young
man. "DOn't shoot-for Gods sake
don'ti" called out the poor fellow,
who, while bent on his own destruction,
suddenly became frightened out of his
wits, and determined to live at any
price. With the shotgun leveled at
his head he fell upon his knees, begging
hard for his life, and trying to explain
his accidental presence upon the place.
He was finally allowed to go, and fled
across the country like a deer, soon
coming back to the city and printing
his nerves with beer and sandwiches.
The note left his landlady was as fol-
lows:
DEAR MRS. G.: I am tired of life,
and will blow out my brains in the ceme-
terry tonight. My rent is paid up to the
Sth. do this because life has become
burden to me. Yours, --.
He is now quite cheerful, and took

Mississippi.


Additional testimony before the commit
tee investigating the mississippi election was
given by Representative Lynch, who stated that
over 300 Republican ballots were removed from
the box in Archer Precinct, and Democratic bal
lots inserted in lieu thereof. A. NJ Hardy, ed
tor of the Natchez Nei1 South, testified IL Demo-
cratic threats and intimidation, and that he had
to leave Natchez for fear of being
mobbed. NJ. L. Howard, colored, Of Fay
cite, jefferson County, formerly Sheriff
and member of the Legislature,
testified to numerous instances of intimidation
and threats made by armed Democrats. The
witness left Mississippi four days before the last
election, as he considered his life in danger,

the American Congress-. 1t was not designed to
commit this vast power to ere man, es-
pecially as that man might be the sole

Rejoice in your strength and life;

and to lay them with care
and patience. A thousand accidents
and chances will determine in the COM

be-accidents and chances we call
them for want of better name-which
you can not control in the outset, but
which will be controlled and settled for
you. What materials you will have to
work with who can sayP To one clay,
to another wood, to another marble, to
another jewels and precious stones,

your choice; it will be made for you.
But this you can do and may do, and
should be doing now: You can 80 pre-
pare the ground and the foundations,
that whatever material shall come to
your hand, hereafter shall surely be
made the most of, and used in the best
way. What are these foundations but
the principles and habits which under

can only be laid to good purposes by

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRECEDENT.


WASHINGTON, d. c., January PIN
reply 70 the resolution of the House of Represent
atIves. passed early in December, 1876, request
i the President to transmit to that body copies
of all orders or directions, emanating from him,
or from either of the Executive Departments, to
any military Commander, or civil officer, relat-
ing to the service of the army in Virginia, South
Carolina, Louisiana and Florida, since the first
OF August last, together with all reports from
any of said military or civil officers, the PreSi-
dent to-day sent to the House of Representatives
q message, accompanied by a large mass OF ON :
cial documents called for by the resolution. In
reference to the sending Of troops to the States
mentioned, the President Gays, after euume-
rating some of the sources from which he
derived information as to the necessity of Fed .
eral aid in preserving the peace: 1t is enough to
say that these different kinds and sources OF evil
dence have left no doubt whatever in my mind
that intimidation has been used, and actual VIC
lence to an extent requiring the aid of the United
states where 1t was practicable TO furnish such
aid. In South Carolina and Florida, and In
Louisiana, as well as in Mississippi, Alabama
and Georgia, troops of the United States have
been but sparingly used, and in no case so as to
interfere with the full exercise of the right OF
suffrage. In no case, except that of South Car
DINA, was the number of soldiers in any State
increased in anticipation Of the election, saving
that twenty four men and an officer were sent
from Fort Foote to Petersburg, Va, where dis
turbances were threatened prior to the election
No troops were stationed at voting places IN
Florida and Louisiana respectively. Small num-
bers of soldiers in said States were stationed
at such points in each state as were NEST
threatened with violence, where they might be
available as a posse for the officer whose duty ii
was to preserve the peace and prevent intimida-
ton of voters. Such disposition OF troops
seemed to me reasonable, and justified by law
and precedent, while its omission would have
been inconsistent with the constitutional duty Of
the President of the United States, to take care
that the laws be faithfully executed. .....I have
not employed troops on slight occasions, nor in
any case where it has not been necessary TO the
enforcement of laws of the United States. In this
| have been guided by. the Constitution and the
laws which have been formed under it 800. de-
sire to assure both houses of Congress and the
country that it has been my purpose to admins
ter the executive powers of the Government fair
ly, and in no instance to disregard or transcend
the limits of the Constitution.
