4 SeusntiOn In Church.
From the Pittsburgh Gazette.


There was sudden sensation in an
Oakland Church. on late Sunday. 1t
appears that young lady member OF
tie choir became so anxious to examine
= certain exasperatingly pretty bonnet
in pew back under the organ lott, that
che lost her bsllauce, and turned q
somersault down upon the unsuspecting
congregation. The minister mad only
reached "teDtbly," when he was shock
cd by dis:olving view OF striped stock
inrs: and the millionaire underneath
had Just selected his smallest coin tor
the heather. when Il pair of two-lnch
heel, took him in the back OF the neck
like the fast d wing lick OF the pile. driver.
When he dust cleared away the church
was found TO be empty, and since then
the flock have meekly, but firmly, IN
formed the vcstry that unles the choir
is fenced in, or IL net stretched over the
heads OF the congregation, as required
bv law, they Will stay away from the
sanctuary.

How TO Elect Hayes.
Baltimore Gazette.

Baltim ore Gazette.
This is the way it is worked out by
the radical arithmetic. Florida and
Louisiana may have voted for Tilden,
but the radical governors say they didn't,
and that ends the matter. No evidence
of any sort or kind whatever can DC adj
mittcd to show that the vilost and most
claring frauds taint the certificates issued
by S,earns and kellogg. But when you
come to Oregon the tang is entirely
changed. Here the governors certif-
cate is 10. worth the paper il Is written
upon. Therefore, Florida and Louisiar a
must be counted for Hayes because the
executive cf those states, not the people,
assure Us nat Hayes ought 10 have them,
and Oregon must be counted solid for
Hayes in tho very face of the fact that
the governor certiifas under the broad
seal of tina, state that only two Hayes
electors were appointed by the
people And now, what ara you
going to do about il?

How n Great Spectator slid Down
Mountain and Took u Bath,
New York SIM

New York sun.
Il used to know jim keone ten years
ago III Colorado" said gentleman in
Wall street. "At this time he did not
wear white ulster, nor, SO far as
know, speculate IN stocks. He was en-
gagged in silver mining, and had shalt
sunk high up on the side Of the noun
tain. He was noted for his nerve and
love OF adventure, and was held IN great
respect by his miners, who. as n class,
admire courage. The ore when hoisted
from the shalt, was shoveled into OK
hides, and these, when paced in u chute,
were shot down Tor nearly II mile to the
base OF tho mountain. The grade wa
very steep, and the passage OF three
quarters of mile was accomplished in
side of n minute.
Zone day keene wanted TO take trip
to ucighborlng town, and, as the des-
cent of the mountain by the path WAS
slow and iatIguing, he took a notion to
try the chute. So he braced up, enye-
loped himself in an oX-hide, and, calling
out 10 tie mihers to let go, in second
Was sliding down the steep incline with
trightful velocity.
"The ox-hide, being lighter than usual,
did not stop at the proper poipt, but shot
clean out over the end of the chute, and
landed keene some seventy-fvc feet be-
low in the creek.
"He was somewhat astonished by
beng shot into the creek, but, shaking
himself clear of the OK. hide, he struck
out for the shore, and climbed the bank,
without any broken bones.

he also swears that he will limit the three
departments of the government to their

stituton, and that he will preserve the
autonomy of the State, and, in all, con-
fine the powers of the general govern

that the Constitution is not party In

And when one reads the Harold OF Ten
nyson, before he comos u the Field OF
Blood (Sentac), he will think OF the
great oath that those men have taken 10
preserve the Constitution and the laws,
and whose breach sooner or later Will
bring the curse. Already the future
looms darkly from the present. and the
harvest of the dragon 8 teeth are sprout-
ing from the sowing of their iniqity.

1t is admitted that large body OF the
Republican party do believe in the being
OF God, and that he is by direct Prov.
dences the punisher of evil deeds and of
the workers OF iniqui.y, but Il is affirmed
from many evidences OF the fact, not In

who do observe AMI reflect do see and

evil; that corruption dissolves the bonds
which hold society together, and thatthe
indulgence of dshones, pcculations and
