1t is to be hoped that men elected to
Office by the Republican party, will after
a while, learn to stay in place and attend
to their duties. The Democrats are
kindly giving them some lessons as to
the Importance of SO doing. In the
Michigan legislature they recently un-
seated two Republican senators and seat
ed two Democratic claimants, while ten
Republican senators were absent at a
State convention. A few such whole
some lessons are needed in order to
teach some of our jackass representatives
the nature of the enemy they are deal
ing with.

HARRY FRENCH DROPPED. The Church Says He Must Go-He Requests His Release.

BOSTON, Feb. 11.-A meeting of the standing committee of the South Evangeli cal church of West Ro1bury was held at the house of Mrs. John Walker in Roslin- dale to consider the case of Harry French, the lecturer. The charge was substantial ly that French wrote @ letter in November last stating that Miss Helen F. Smith of the same church was his wife, and had sustained that relation six months when she was forced to leave him through the animosity of her parents. Miss Smith denied French's claims in toto.
 The Rev. O. A. Beckwith read the charges, which stated that Harry W. French's conduct, as confessed, was sufi-
 cient ground for dismissal. The charges,
 if not true, made out a cowardly assault
 on the good name of a woman.
 MT. French was not present on account of illness, but his brother read a letter from him reiterating his former statements and asking for release. There was no discussion and recommendation was made by the committee that he be dropped from | fellowship. At the end of one year MT. French will l be dismissed from the church, unless in | that time he should evince such change of views and sentiments as would indicate adequate repentance. ..

The captain and thir- teen of the Bruce, and the crew of six on the Morris were rescued by row-boats. Both vessels will be raised.
 LONDON, Feb. 11.-On November 26 the British steamer Thanemore, Captain Butcher, left Baltimore for London.

She was of 1871 | tons burden and was owned by w. John ston & Go. of Liverpool.

 WAsHSGroS, Feb. 1.-The Sioux In dian conference was concluded to-day and the Indians will tomorrow or Friday start for home, going by way of Philadelphia and Carlisle. The feature of to-day's meeting was the story of the fight at Wounded Knee which was told by Tuning Hawk and American Horse. The latter said that when the firing began the bucks were surrounded by the soldiers while the sqaaws were grouped some distance away under a flag of truce which was flying from lodge-pole. After most of the In dians and squaws had been shot down the firing ceased and it was shouted out that all who were in hiding might come fourth and they would be safe. Several came out and were surrounded by soldiers and butchered. American Horse stuck to this statement, although he said he was not present at the battle.

Three Young Ladies Followed From

 Church by a WouId-be Admirer.
 Three young ladies last evening attend ed services at St. Francis church After the services were concluded they started off for a walk up town. On their way home they were closely followed by an Italian. who made every sort of advances to them and accosted them several times. One of the young ladies picked up loose brick and when the scoundrel again &C., costed the party she threatened to hit him in the face with it if he did not desist from following them. The Italian then thinking discretion the better part of valor" fell to the rear. When the party of ladies arrived on James street they entered the house of mutual friend and in this manner escaped the prosecutions of their would-be admirer
 The same man has several times hereto fore made advances to the young ladies, none of which have been countenanced by them. The police have been notified and will keep a sharp lookout for the miscre- ant, and if caught will be severely pun ished.
