When Count stackelberg was sen

Empress Catherine OF Russia to tht
King ofPoland, Thurgut was alsc
sent thither BY Germany. On ar
irving at the Polish court, Thurgut
was ushered into a splendid saloon
where he found an imposing-look-
ing parsonage seated in great state,
and surrounded by a numerous and
obsequious suite. The German
ambassador took him for the king.
and went through the customary
formalities, and not until the
entrance Of the real king did he
discover that the individual ia
whom he had been paying such
profound homage, and who had
received him in such naughty and
dignified silence, was Count
Stackelberg.
Deeply mortified and humiliated,
the German envoy retired, natural

had calmly sat and qaizzcd another

An opportunity ofgiying vent to
his feeling came in the course Of

A Dueking Stool.

In the crypt Of Warwick Church,
the mighty ribbed arches Of which
spring from one enormous pier,
says correspondent OF the Galaxy,
there is an article which has long
gone out Of use-whether advanta
geously or not ! shall not venture
to say-a ducking stool, made Tor
the public discipline Of scoldlng
women. This is one Of the only
two, | believe, that remain IN Eng
land. 1t consists Of a strong oaken
frame on low wheels, from which a
seat rises upon an inclined beam
that works upon pivot or axle
The scold was lashed into the seat
and then the "insIitution" was
drawn to the river side at {
convenient deep place, and follee
in until the patient sat just above
the water. Then the land end Q
the beam was tipped up, and con
sequently the other end, With It
lading, went down under the water
where it was allowed to remain no
too long, and was then raised 70
breathing time. This process wa
repeated as often as it was though
beneficial to the lady under treat
ment, or necessary for the peace {
her family and neighborhood.

OCTOBER 30. 1877.

Now we will prove this dishonesty, Turn
to the Republicans editorial of Wednesday
and the following will be found "ruptured
and destroyed the party in the South that
honored position" Now read the GAz-
ETTE and see how It puts it. Here 10 Is
s'rupturcd and destroyed the party that
had elevated him TO his high and honored
position. ."-Rspublican h.. fsa'I III
The charge OF dishonesty Is false. We
gave the quotation fully, and If the writer
for the Republican had examined the article
he commented upon he would have seen
that We copied precisely the words he says
were omitted. st tJ s..
But we did not COPY the words ain the
South" second time in the same article,
because 1t was not the party "in the South''
that "had elevated Mr.. Hayes to his high and
honored position" Mr.. Hayes was defeat
sd<'in the south, !" and was elevated to ONCE
by the Electoral Tribunal, with the aid OF
Joe Bradley's partial and scandaIous po-
litical vote. .4fi..a
But what folly and what donkeyism is 1t
to talk about the party being ruptured and
destroyed in the South, when 1t is ruptured
in Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania and all
the States. Why does the Republican ac-
euse Mr.. Hayes of "rupturlng" and "de-
stroying' it in the south, and omit to place
it where 1t belongs, upon Morton, Blaine.
Conkling, Zach. Chandler, Grant and others
lnnumerable, who have been making
money out Of the party until they made it
so corrupt that the best of Its men have been
compelled to abandon 1t in the North as
well as the South.

CRIMINAL ::MALPRACTIcE.

TRENTON, N. j., Oct. ia school
teacher named Emma f. Carson, aged
. years, died suddenly here on Wednes-
day under circumstances which aroused
suspicious of foul play. Coroner Bodine
instituted an aninvestigation, and yesterday
post-mortem examination was held by
three leading physicians. They came to
the conclusion that death was the result
criminal malpractice with the use of in.
struments. The Coroner empanelled a
jury and several witnesses were examin-
ed. A verdict was returned that the
deceased girl came to her death "by hay
ing an abortion produced on her by some
person or persons unknown" There are
circumstances pointing strongly to the
Identification of the guilty persons, and
1t Is believed, the authorities will sue
ceed in ferretting out the criminals.
