nomination of the bride elect to the title
of Baroness de Wallersee, which thus
equalized the rank of the fances, and en-
abIed them to marry without difficulty.
They live the most retired life possible

ATSuch case of sectarian intolerance as re. gently occurred in Litchfeld County, Conn.,, is seldom heard of in these days. man belonging to the Congregational church lost 6 child; but as his church was some distance away, he applied to the sexton of an Episcopal church close by to toll the bell. The rector, had recently been installed over the church, forbade it.. Some gentleman de- termining that it should be tolled, went to the church, and finding it locked got in at 6 window. when the rector ordered them out. They declined to go, and succeeded in having the bell tolled in spite of the reonstrances of the clergyman to the contrary. In the first place the rector erred in not permitting the bell to be toled at the funeral of the child of his neighbor. In the second place.

 the vigilance committee who took the law into their own hands, and forcibly entered church over which they had no control committed a worse and more reprehensible error. Their conduct was in violation of flaw.--HarDord Times. asi i..ss

 If our information is correct, the, Times has mistaken the fact in this case. It was the sezson of tho church whom the minister undertook to keep from ringing the bell, and who finally rang it. Under our law, the minister in question had no sort of legal right to interfere in the mat. ter He was not even member of the so- ciety. who own the church. and whose le. gal agents are, by statute, the wardens and vestrymen.

NotT,tastanding the jubilation Of
the Republican press over the re
sult of the laie elections in the
Eastern States, the Democracy have
every reason to rejoice over. their
immense gains, as compared with the
returns of last year, and to feel hopes
fol that the time is drawing near
when they can wrest the goyern>

at the time of its transfer to the po-
litical worms that for the last ten
years have been boring at its heart,
until now there remains little else
than the mere shell of its former
liberties and greatness.


The intelligent masses of the nation
seem at length to have partially awak-
ened to sense of their present and
prospective condition should the Re
publican party continue in power, and
are fast returning and swelling the
ranks of the Democracy, as fully
demonstrated by the recent vote in
the States of New York, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, New jersey, Wisconsin and
Indiana, in which the Republican
majorities have been reduced at least
one-third since the last elections,-
in the former State the entire Demo-
cratic ticket having been elected.
Intelligent men, of the Republican
party now cOncede the fact that
the dissolution of their party and
resumption of the government by
the democracy is simply question Of
time-that time not far distant. In
view of this fact, then, let US bury par,
ty jealousies, and move together in a
solid body against the common enemy,
to the end that peace, good will and
prosperity may again bless the peo-
pie of this now over>taxed, badly

DANGEROUS SwINDLE IN Teas
The San Francisco Alta of October
22d has the following: A gentleman
has lett at this Office a sample of an
article which he purchased within a
few days as a superior quality of tea
Being an old tea drinker, and COM
PEELED to use the article incidentally,
his attention was attracted few
days since by the appearance of some
tea at store, in the city, put up in
neat packages and marked with a
well,known brand He purchased a
small quantity, but after drinking
one cup prepared from the SO, called
fancy tea, was taken violently i'll.
Upon a close examination OF the
leaves which had been stepped, be
found them to be simply the leaves
of the ordinary California chaparral.
Further inquiry developed the fact.
that the leaves of this and other
shrubs are gathered in great guam
titles upon this coast, and packed in
bales and shipped to China, whence,
after being dried and prepared By
some process unknown, it is returned
to San Francisco properly put up in
packages, and branded and sold as a
superior quality of tea. The sample
shown resembles the best quality of
black tea, both in appearance and
smell, and is calculated to deceive
an ordinary purchaser. While there
is nothing absolutely poisonous about
the leaves of the chaparral, its effects
upon the system are very disagree
able, and decidedly prejudicial to
health. The discovery of such an
outrage and dangerous swindIe in
use is calculated to startle all tea
drinkers and put them on their guard.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN SAN
LUIS OBIsPo COUNTY The San
Luis Obispo Tribune of October 18th
says: On thursday last, information
was sent to Justice SIMMER, acting
Coroner, that the body of o person
was found near the stage road, close
to the Arroyo Graude, BY Brand and
Price. There were marks of two
blows on the head, one on the left
side, which fractured the skull The
body was found partially covered up
with earth and rotten poles. The
flesh of one of the arms was entirely
eaten of by some animal, aud the
face was so disfgured that it could
not be Unidentified. On searching
the body, there was found in a new
buckskin belt the sum of three hun
dred dollars in gold coin, of which
four were ten dollar pieces, and the
balance in twenties. He had on salt
and pepper colOred cotton pants,
new check shirt and new cotton
uuler shirt. The description and
particular marks of the body are as
near as ascertained as follows: Brown
hair, light chin whiskers and NUS
tache ; about five feet eight inches
high first lower molar left side gone;
first cuspid, first b cuspid and first
upper molarson left side gone third
molar lower right side and third
mOlar upper right side slightly de-
cayed. The deceased was apparently
young man. Wagon tracks we're
found leading from the main road
into the canyon to where the body
was found. The supposition is that
he was traveller killed BY bis COM
psniOn or companions on the road
and hauled away into this secluded
spot to hide the crime.

81 was a hunting once,'' he said,
in good Westernee which I shall
not attempt to initiate, "on this
river (the Mississippi), and I came
late in the day to a bayou. My
way lay down the river, and round
that bayou was six or seven miles,
while across it was only two or
three hundred yards. I didn't
want the walk, and l didn't want to
be debated, so I determined to try
the bayou. There was no water in
it; it was all mud,-that kind of

knew the danger, but I thought /
could manage it. Hunting about /
found two planks washed up from
some old fat boat, may be years
before With these started out,
stepping from one to the other,
pulling first one and then the other
from behind me and putting it
ahead, till / got to about the mid


die of the bayou. Every step | had
taken was more and more difficult.
The farther 1 went the more my
planks were sucked down by the
devilish mud, till l could stand up
no longer, hut was obliged first to
sit, and then to lie down fiat on
my stomach, to divide my weight
more equally. Hauling myself on
to the foremost, would turn round
as on pivot, grasp the plank be


hind haul it alongside, and then
shove it ahead of me. Pretty soon
had to help my hands with my
teeth, for all the strength of both
was needed to raise the planks from
the quagmire that sucked them
down. At last one of them sunk
beyond my reach. Flat on my face
on a single plank, in the middle of
the bayou, the mud rising around
me ready to swollow me up-I con
sidered. I couldn't swim ashore,
for I wasn't in the water: I couldn't t
wade, for to stand up was to go
down like plummet; to move six
inches either way was sure death.
No human aid could ever reach
me; no human creature might pass
that way for months; no house, no
road was in miles of me- My only
chance fol, life was another plank.

starved to death, or roll over and
make an end of it in the nasty
mud. Then I remembered my
jack knife. Getting it out of my
pocket, I cut under me, lying flat
as I was, slowly and patiently upon
the plank that long seasoning had
made almost as hard as iron, till

self forward on the farther half,

again, and SO went on as before
