A True Tcnipeninee Story.
The following story is related by
Mr. C. C. Cheney, and the truthful
ness of the incident is vouched for by
living witnesses:
In the evening of the day on which
Alice arrived at S , a great temper
ance meeting wa3 heid in one of the
churches. Her friend, who had be
came enthusiastic in the cause, urged
her to go to the meeting, which Alice
did, although with reluctance. The
house was crowded above and below.
The preliminaries usually apper
taining to such meetings having been
arranged, a brief opening address was
made by one of the ministers. A re
formed man then related his experi
ence with great effect. After he had
finished there was a pause of nearly a
minute. At length a man who had
been seated far back, with his face
partly turned from the audience,
arose slowly, and moved to the front
of the stage.
A half suppressed exclamation
escaped Alice, as her eyes caught the
well known features of her husband,
while a quick thrill ran through her,
Then ber frame trembled in accor
dance with her fluttering heart. The
face of Mr. DeLancy had greatly
changed since she had last looked up
on it. Its calm, dignified elevation
had been restored, but what a differ
ence !
"Mr. President," lie began in a
broken voice, "although I consented,
at your urged solicitation, to address
this large assembly to-night, yet I
have felt so strong a reluctance to do
so, that it has been with the utmost
difiiculty that I could drag myself
forward. But I had passed my word
and could not violate it. As to relat
ing mjT experience, that I don't think
I can venture upon. The past I dare
not recall. Would to heaven that
just ten years of mj' life were blotted
out."
The speaker here paused a moment,
already much-affected. Then resum
ing in a firmer voiue, he said :
"But something must be said of my
own case, or I shall fail to make the
impression on your minds that I wish
to produce.
"Pictures of real life touch the heart
with power, while abstract presenta
tions of truth glitter coldly in the in
tellectual regions of the mind, and
then fade from the perception Jikejjfanding, and with few dry eyes, was
rrrgureSnfra "nratbaT
-ii
"Your speaker once stood among
the first members of the bar In a
neighboring state. Nay, more than
that he represented his country for
three years in the Assembly of the
commonwealth; and more still, oc
cupied a seat in Congress for two con
gressional periods."
At this period the stillness of death
pervaded the crowded assembly.
"And yet more than all that," he
continued, his voice sinking into a
low thrilling tone, "lie Had a tenderly
loved wife and two sweet children.
But all those honors, all those bless
ings have departed from him," he
continued, his voice growing louder
and deeper in his efforts to control
himself; "he was unworthy to retain
them !
"His constituents threw him off be
cause ho had debased himself and dis
graced them. And worse than all,
she who had loved him devotedljT
she who had borne two dear babes,
was forced to abandon him, and seek
an asylum in her father's house.
"And why could Ibeoome so chang
ed in a few short years ? What pow
er wa3 there to so abase me that my
fellow beings spurned, and even the
wife of my bosom turned away heart
stricken from me! Alas! my friends,
It was a mad indulgence in mockery!
A very demon a Circe, changing the
human into that of the bestial. But
for this, I were an honorable and use
ful representative in congress, pur
suing after my country's good, and
blessed in the home circle with wife
and children. But I have not told
you all. After my wife separated
from me I sank rapidly.
"A state of sobriety brought too
many terrible thoughts ; I therefore
drank more freely, and was rarely, if
ever from under the bewildering ef
fects of intoxication. I remained in
the same village for some years, but
never once saw her during that time
nor a glimpse of my children. At
last I became so abandoned in my
life, that my wife, urged on by her
friends, filed an application for a di
vorce, and as a cause could easily be
shown why It should be granted, a
separation was leaglly declared. To
complete my disgrace, at the next
congressional canvass I was left off
the ticket, as unfit to represent the
district. I left the county and state
where I had lived from my boy-hood
up.
Three years have passed since then.
For two years of the period, I aban
doned myself to the fearful impulse of
the appetite X had acquired. Then I
heard of this movement the great
temperance cause. At first I sneered,
then wondered, hesitated, and finally
threw myself upon the great wave
that was swelling onward, in the
hope of being carried by it far out of
the reach of danger ; and I did not
hope with vain hope. It did for me
all and more than J could have dream
ed. It set me once more upon my
feet once more made a man of me.
A year of sobriety, earnestdevotion to
my profession, and fervent prayer to
Him who alone gives strength in ev
ery good resolution, has restored to
I me much that had been lost, but not

all not the richest treasure that
I proved myself unworthy to retain ;
not my wife and children. Ah! be
tween myself and these the law has
laid its stern impassible interdiction.
I have no longer a wife;, no longer
ohildren ; though my heart goes out
toward those dearly beloved ones with
the tanderest yearnings. Pictures)f
our early days of wedded love are ever
lingeringin my imagination. I dream
of the sweet fireside circle ; I see ever
before me the once placid face of my
Alice, as her eye looked into my own
with confidence. I feel her arms en
twine around, my neck, (he music of
her voice is ever sounding in my ear."
Here the speaker's emotion over
came him. His utterance became
choked, and he stood silent
with bowed bead and trembling
limbs. The dense mass of people
were hushed into an oppressive still
ness, that was broken here and there
by.half stifled sobs. At-this moment
there was a movement in the crowd.
A single female figure, before whom
every one appeared instinctively to
give way, was seen passing up the
aisle. Thi9 was not observed by De
Lancy until Bhe had come nearly in
front of the platform on which he
stood. The movement caught his
ear, and lifting his eyes, they instant
lytfeli on Alice, for it was she that
was pressing onward; he bent to
ward her with suddenly uplifted
hands and eager eyes, and stood like
a statue until sue nau gained tne
stand and advanced quietty to his
side. For a moment they stood thus ;
the whole audience, thrilled with the
scene were upon their feet and bend
ing forward. Then Delancy opened
his arms and Alice threw herself up
on his bosom with a quick and wild
gesture. Thus, for the space of a
minute, they stood; every one, by a
singular intuition, understood the
scene. One of the ministers then
came forward and separated them.
"No, no," said DeLancy, "you
must not you cannot take her away
from me."
"Heaven forbid that I should do
that, replied the minister. By your
oonfeasion she is not your wife?"
"No, she is not," replied DeLancy,
mournfully.
"But she is ready to renew her vows
again," Alice said,miling through
her tears, that now rained over her
face.

ceremony that
gave DeLancy and
Alice to each other. As the minister,
an aged man, with thin, white locks,
finished the rite, he laid his hands
upon the heads of the two he had
joined in holy bonds, and lifting up
his aged ei'es, that streamed with
drops of gladness, he said in a solemn
voice :
"What God has joined together let
not hum part asunder."
"Amen!" was cried by the whole
assembly, as with a single voice.
She Had Moved.
The Orphan Glee Club of our place
concluded to serenade Mis3 Peterson
on a certain evening. One or two of
the members were a little tender about
Miss Peterson, and they thought that
maybe they might make o favorable
impression by giving her a little midnight-music.
Unfortunately, upon
the very day of the serenade, old
Peterson moved his family about four-
blocks down the street, and his house
was taken by an old German butcher
named Frick. The Glee Club hadn't
heard the news, and late in the even
ing they went around. Ranging
themselves on the pavement they
tuned up and began. They sang two
songs witliout obtaining any response
from the fair Peterson, although one
of the Inf-tuated members was en
couraged by the conviction that he
saw something white at one of the
windows. Finally, while they were
dashing bravely through "Come
where my young love lies dreaming,''
the sash in the second story went up
with a crash, and a head was pro
truded. When the song was ended
Peter Lamb had barely time to say
"there- she is," when the voice of
Frick floated down to them.
"Say poys, you have one larch, big
stummic age, hey? What vor den
you howl in dod manner, hey ? I coom
down and glfyou medicine; Igifyou
baragoric to mage dot stummic age go
way. I stop him quigger'n lightni'g,
hey? Wait a minnid. I coom righd
down.
"You don't understand," said Mr.
Boggs. "We were singing a sere
nade, you know."
"Ah, hah ! you coom to serenade
me? You sing ter music for me,
hey? Dod is what you call singing,
dond it? Vel poys, I tell you some
tings. I haf one liddle schmall tog
oud in der garden yonder, named
Schack, und when I trod on his dail
he sings better as you."
"Shut up, you old fool, and go to
bed. We didn't come to serenade
you.
"JSoV Ish dot so
serenade te tog den.
1 You coom to
I call him up so
ash he can hear you. Maybe one of
your legs bide him in der mouth. He
like dot. You serenade him ond- gif
some mead oil ad once."
"Where's Miss Peterson, you Dutch
idiot?"
"Miss Bederson haf moofed avay.
Somepody tolt her yon poys was com
in' and she cleart ride oud. You go
town ond sing to Miss Bederson, und
ter old man'll rush oud nnd blaze
avay mit ter shot gun. I saw him
load it to-day.
"Never you mind now; where has
she moved? If you don't tell us we
will stay here and sing all night."
"I'll see aboutdod. Tou waid till I
coom down a minnid."
About three minutes later a Ger
man gentleman by the name of Frick
emerged from the back part of the
nouse carrying a pistol, and accom-i
panied by a dog the size of a Bengal
tiger. As soon as the Club saw the
dog they scattered, and as the last
man turned to run, Mr. Frick called
for him
"Poys, wond yon slhnyund sing all
nide to dis schmall liddle tog? Ah
ha! you go avay dond id? Dunder
und blitzen ! if you could sing der vay
you run, you't pe goood enough for
angels."
The club is studying up some fresh
music for Miss Peterson. Max Alder.

A significant commentary upon the
brutality of the Indiana democrats of
the Blue Jeans stripe toward Sena
tor Morton, now in his last illness, is
the following extract from the letter
of a correspondent of the New York
Sun. It shows how great a contrast
is such a noble, generous spirit as
that inhabiting the frame of the great
"war governor,'' to the ignoble hate
felt by the little vermin who now re
joice over his expected death, and in
sult Senator McDonald, for the repu
tation for courtesy he has acquired on
a small capital. Morton sentIcDon
ald home last winter to the bedside of
a sick daughter, by insisting on pair
ing with him, and MoDonald incurs
the displeasure of the party by offer
ing to pair with Morton if begets well
enough to "be in Washington."
All will remember that the trial of
the leading conspirators of the "Sons
of Liberty" in Indiana, who had de
termined to seize Camp Morton, res
cue and arm the rebel prisoners there
confined, and inaugurate a bloody war
in the heart of the north, to burn Chi
cago, Philadelphia and New York,
&c, resulted in the conviction of sev
eral, und the sentencing to death of
Bowles and MUIigan. The correspon
dent of the Sun says :
An effort was pending for a remis
sion of the sentence when Mr. Lincoln
was assassinated. I remember in the
general consternation caused by that
event Mr. McDonald (now United
States Senator) exclaimed, "Now
those poor fellows will be hung,' or
. Gov-.Morton.i
did not so give It up. He at once dis
patched a special messenger to Presi
dent Johnson, askingexecutive clem
ency. At the last moment, when an an
swer was expected, the governor was
startled to find that the messenger,
dlstrustipg the success of his cause,
had not presented the petition to Mr.
Johnson. It was then the evening be
fore the time set for the execution of
the criminals. There was no time to
be lost. The governor telegraphed to
a friend in Washington, confiding to
his care a telegram to the President
with strict injunctions to deliver it in
person immediately. The friend re
ceived it after dark, and went at once
to tho White House. The answer to
his demand to see the President was
that Mr. Johson was at dinner and
could not be disturbed. It was then
nearly 9 o'clock.
"Say to the President," said the
gentleman, "that I am the bearer of
an important dispatch from Gov. Mor
ton, and must see him. It is a matter
of life and death.'
The word was delivered to Mr.
Johnson, who bade the messenger
come into the dining-room. As he
entered, the President arose from the
table, and meeting him near the door,
took the telegram from his hand and
read it in silence. The accustomed
gravity of his countenance and de
meanor grew more impressive as he
took a few turns up and down the
room. Still he did not utter a word,
and the suspense of his visitor grew
apace. At length Mr. Johnson paus
ed under the light of the chandelier,
and, as if recalling to mind an impor
tant matter, again glanced over the
telegram which he still held in his
hand. His eyes was arrested by the
date, and saying, "Come with me in
to the library," he wrote an answer,
which he handed to thegeutleman to
read. It was a reprieve.
"I will send it myself," said the
President, "telegraph also, if you de
sire," he continued, taking back the
dispatch, and pointing to the dis
patch book.
On his part, Gov. Morton did not
sleep until the dispatch was received.
I think it was after midnight, and the
good tidings were at once conveyed to
the prisoners and their counsel.
A 2tew Jewelry Swindle.
Tuesday afternoon, two ladies, ap
parently of means and well informed
as to the prevailing fashions, called at
Streeter's jewelry store, on Capel
street.'and asked to see gold watches.
The ladies were well pleased with the
exhibit. They said they wished to
buy one, and their admiration was di
vided between three of dlflerent styles.
They could not make up their minds
which of the three to choose, and said
they would send the husband of one
of them to make the choice. He would
call in, they said, either in the even
ing of that day or the following day.
Yesterday forenoon the gentleman
called. He looked carefully at the
three, and be, too, found a difiiculty
in giving the final discision as to a
choice. He said he should want the
VOL. 22 -NO. SO.'
one purchased to have an Inscription, ' currency, has been deposed from both
and asked what it would cost. The j and put on the joint committee on Ii
gentleman was told that should theibrary and in a subordinate position
watch be purshased the inscription ' on foreign affairs, of which he has.
L would be put on the case without ex
tra charge. He then wrote out the
inscription, agreeing to take one of the
watches; but in order to make a
choice which would suit all he said

Lincoln dedicated a monument to
the "patriots who were Union sold

walls of Libby prison be taken down,
and their material be transported to
Auder3onviIle and there erected to

and let Hayes in his next Southern
tour go accompanied by "the presi

AN OVJSRDOSE OF SOUTH.
When the class of claims and of
general legislation which the hand
ing over of important committees to
the South .will bring upon Congress is
recognized, our people will begin to
understand the vast concern which
the country ha3 in Congressional
work. Never since the war have
such danger3 pressed upon us. It
will require a united Republican par
ti to avert them ; and we see in the
Randall programme, the possibility
of restoring the Republican party, by
by energetic and enlightened man
agement, to its old commanding posi
tion. Cincinnati Times.
The New Orleans Democrat (organ
of the Bulldozers) is grieved beyond
measure. It says that after the with
drawal of the troops last spring the
feeling of the people of that city was
extremely cordial. The appointment
of King, Audersou and other Repub
licans to office, wa3 a "grosd, burning
and unbearable insult" to every rec
onciled Democrat in the State, and
created the' most sudden and violent
reaction in public opinion ever wit
nessed. The Democrat now says "Mr.
Hayes has no longer any friends hi
Louisiana, and he will have none un
til he displai's by his acts that he was
not responsible for the insult, and
does not indorse it." Inter Ocean.
LOOKING UP THE RECORD.
"Washington, Oct. 30. The Com -mitttee
on Judiciary are iu possession
of newspaper reports of speeches
made by General Harlan in 1S6G in
which he denounced the constitution
al amendments, especially that con
ferring suffrage on the colored race,
as unconstitutional and unjust. His
friends do not deny the authenticity
of the evidence, but explain that,
with many other men, he ha3 chang
ed bis mind. The facts make an un
favorable imprassiou on the commit
tee, however.
The President was in Richmond
yesterday, the first 'federal executive'
that has ever seen Libby prison. Ex
change. There are several "patriots who
were U.nion men", who have seen
Libby prison, and perhaps if the pres
ident bad been one of them be would
not insult the thousands whose exist
ence is a death-in-life by reason of the
Basbi-Bazouk cruelties they endured,
by addressing the devils who tortured
them (thousands of them to death) as
"patriots who were confederates."

REVENGE AND JOBBERY.
Randall has now not only taken his
revenge upon those of his party who
opposed him thi3 year, but also- on
those who defeated him twoyearsago.
The two conspicuous victims are Mor
rison of Illinois, and Cox of New
York. In the last Congress Morrison
was chairman of Ways and Means.
Randall not only hurled him from
that committee, but buried him in that
on Public Lands, while Cox, who, be
cause of long service and familiarity
with parliamentary experience, has
been invariably on that on Rules, and
who was chairman of banking and

Wonderful Slate Writing Among the.
Scientific Spiritualists.
The sitting was at a private house
in Richmond on theSlstof Jasimonth.
Two ladies and three gentlemen were
present, besides myself and tbe medi
um, Dr. Monck. A shaded candle
was in the room, giving light suffi
cient to see every object around the
table at which we sat. Four small
and common slates were ou the table.
Of these I chose two and afar careful
ly cleaning, and placing a small frag
ment of penoil between them, I tied
them together with a strong cord,
passed around them both lengthways
and crosswise, so a9 to effectually pre
vent the slates from moving on each
other. I then laid them flat on the
table without losing sight of them fr
a moment. Dr. Monck placed the
fingers of both hands on them, while
1 and a lady sitting opposite m& plac
ed our hands on the corners of the
slates. From this position our hands
were never moved, till I untied them
to ascertain the result. After waiting
a minute or two. Dr. Monofc asked me
to name any short word I wished to
be written on the slate. I named tho
word "God." He then asked m to
say how I wished It written. I re
plied, "lengthways of the slate; then
if I wished it written with a large or
small "g," and I cho3e a oapft-1 "G."
In a very short time writtag was.
heard on the slate. The medium's
hands were convulsively withdrawn,
and then I myself untied the oord
(whioh was astrong silk wateh guard)
and on opening the Blates feund on
opening the lower one, the word I
bad asked for, written in the manuer
I had requested, the writing being
somewhat faint and labored, but pet
fectly legible. The slate with the
writing on it is now in my paesesa-
4 ion. The-essential feetuces-jf fchje.ex-
periment are : ThatI myself oleaned
and tied up the slates ; that I kept
nij hand on them all tbe time: that
they never went out of ray sight for a
moment, and that I named tbe
word to be written and tha wan
ner of writing it after they ware thus
seemed by me. I asked, how are
these facts to bo explained, and what.
interpretation is to be placed upon
them? Alfred R. Wallace.
I was present on this occasion, and
certify that Mr. Wallace's aeeount ef
what happened is correct.

Circumventing the Husband.
What it calls an amusing incident,
recently occurred In its city, the Wa
terbury (Conn.) American thus dis
cribes : "A sou of Erin has a drink
ing wife who was fast becoming th
'plague of his life.' AH hi9 efforts to
prevail upon her to give up whisky
were unavaiiiugjforevery eveainj- h
would find her drunk apoa hie return
from work. He hit upon a plea
what he considered a happy plan.
Before going to work one morning he
fastened down all tbe windows and
locked the door after him, leavtog his
wife a prisoner. He proceeded te fete
daily toil, chuekling to himself that
she would be required to keep sober
one day at any rate. In the course ef
the forenoon one of his wife's whisky
cronies called at the houe, but ef
course, .found the door looked. She
called to the inmate to admit, adding
that she had 'a quart o the beat! Be
gorra, I oan't let ye in, fur it's leaked
Inlarameselfl was tbe reply. 'Hewld
on a bit,' came from the ose ou-tekie.
The woman vanished and ia a few
minutes returned with a clay pipe with
a long stem, whioh she staok through
the key-hole into the mouth of the
prisoner. She then slowly poerea the
whisky into the bowl of the pipes at i 1
the other signified that she bad had
enough. The surprise of the hoseaad
upon finding her lying drunk ob the
floor when he returned heme oaa be
imagined."
Mr. Slink, of Danbury, was eet
walking on Sunday evening to show
his wife's sister the village, ; whea en
passing a saloon, the visitor enquired
what building that was. Before Mr.
Siink could reply, his little bty
promptly explained "That's where

"How dare yon tell suoh staff? de
manded the father, with a fleshed
face.
"Why, it is, pa. because I seen yeu
