Put to the Test.Once upon a time, in the dark ages of the

niueteeutb century, tbere lived a gentlemanwho held a commiSBion iu the army. But bebad Berioun ecruplen ae to whether it wag rightor wrong to bill hit fellow creatures at thebidding of others, or in fact-,- whether it wannot a crime to kill hie fellow meu at all. Bedecided tbat it wag wrong, especially the glit-ter and tinsel thrown about the murderoUBprofession ; BO he sold bU commission andentered the cborch, thinking that as be wasan intelligent man and not a mere maobine,be might do more good to humanity in tbatline thau in the other line.

One day, discoursing to a niBtic congregationou the folly of oning profane language, hetold th«m that he himself was once guilty ofthe same foil; and addicted to the same vice,but tbat be had completely conquered thehabit.

A flying insect, hearing the boast, winkedhie eye at the congregation, and thought:

" I'll pnt him to the teft."So making a circuit ol the gentleman's bead,

be lit upon hia nose." See," said the reverend gentleman, " here

is an illustration. At one time I would havesworn Awfully at this fly; but look now."Raising bis hand, be said gently : " Go away,little fly ; go away 1" but the fly only tickl dhis nose tbe mure,

The referent!- gentleman, raising his bandwith some vthemeuce, made s> grab at tbeoffender, aud being successful, opened it totbrow tbe insect from him, when, in extremedifgust, he exclaimed:

"Why, it, it's a wasp I"Horror of tbe rustic congregation, failure of

Weary of this Life,

Mary Schlutzer, a German woman, thirtyyears of age, was arrested on Railroad ave-n.ie, Jersey City, on M mday night for drunk-enness. After being placed iu a cell she madetwo attempts to commit suicide by bangingherself with her sbawl to the bars of the ci 11door. Eaoh time she was cut down and awatcb placed upon her. Wbeu she wasbrought before Judge Davis on Tuesday etieBaid that her husband bad deserted her andshe was obliged to work so bard for her livingtbat she preferred to die rather than con-tinue her drudgery. On Monc>Ay she bad beenout washing, aud, after completing her work,was on her way home when sat down on astoop to rest herself and tbe officer arrestedher.

Who W a s I t ?

Wben tbn streets are a muddy as yesterdaytbe cars are full of ladies coming and going,and the trick played by a man yesterday ontbe fourteen ladies in a Woodward avenuecar should be frowned upon by every truecitizen. If again attempted he may get him-self into trouble. He boarded tbe car with arubber shoe iu bis pocket big enongb to fitover a No. 8 cowhide boot, and at a propermoment, when all eyes were turned upon thecar switching past, he dropped the rubber ontbe floor aud then suddenly pretended to seeit. Bending over and picking it np, he calledout:

" Which of you ladies lost this rubber ? "Every face turned pale at tbe size of it, and

each lady gave the other a sly glance." Some one in UiiB car lost this rubber I"

continued the human hyena, as he waved itaround. .

Not a lady moved. Eaob one wondered ifone of her rubbers bad dropped off, but hermind was made up to wade in mud two leetdeep before claiming tbat one.

" The owner can have it—I oharge nothingfor my services," calmly observed the fiend, ashe tioked down one side of the oar and up theotlur.

Not a band wai raised, but all feet weredrawn under tbe Beat, as if by machinery.

" Very well," said tbe man, as he rose op toleave tbe car. I'm a rubber shoe ahead. Itwon't do tbe looser any good to call at myoffice, or to send a boy and a basket after thisshoe, for I won't give it np.1'—[Detroit FreeFreis.

PARTY ORGANIZATION. - WHOSHALL RULE?

Now that the Democracy of HudsonCounty, as well as elsewhere, haveshown, with unmistakable determination,that they will have no more " ring rule "or caucus dictation, a number of disinter-ested (?) reformers have come forward—self-appointed monitors—to propose theirdifferent plans, of re-organization. Wehave the General Committee clingingdefiantly and hopefully to its much-abused and now broken-down power,the "Parlor C Democracy "—whatsoeverthat may mean—and the DemocraticUnion, which made such a break in theranks of the old organization as broughtabout the disastrous defeat at the lateelections. All these associations professa common purpose—the restoration ofDemocratic prestige and supremacy ; butit occurs to us that they are taking veryunsatisfactory and inadequate means toeffect anything like a thorough andpermanent reform such as will precludethe same flagrant abuses in future whichhave brought disaster in the past. Thereare some very honest and sincere Demo-crats engaged in this work ; but the an-tagonism of leaders on either side must bea serious bar to harmony of action, with-out which no healthy results can be ac-complished. The Democratic Unionwill make no compromise with the Gen-eral Committee, and "Parlor C" will findthe task of reconciliation rather a tough,if not hopeless, bit of diplomacy. Theradical error in this whole movement isthe self-constituted character of the au-thority which it is sought to exercise.The true nature of the recent political'revolution has not been taken sufficientlyinto consideration, and therefore its im-portance has been slighted. Both thelabor movument and the defection in theranks of the Democracy are protests ofthe masses, who,—thank God !— are be-ginning more and more to do their ownthinking, against party mismanagementand corruption, and no political organiza-tion can hereafter secure permanencyand success which does not virtuallyemanate from and receive the sanction ofthe people. Why not, then, in place ofall this caucusing, adopt the suggestionwhich has already been made fromsevt-ral sources, to call a meeting of theDemocracy in the different precinct? ofthe county for consultation and discus-sion; then let each precinct meetingelect one delegate to a county conventionwhich shall consider and propose the necessary measures of reform, to be submit-ted for ratification to the Democraticvoters, either at a special primary calledfor the purpose, or the first general primary election thereafter. This planwould be simple and effective, and obvi-ate all difficulties between self-consti-tuted factions within the party, as wellas secure the confidence arri support ofthe masses,

" The Inoas of Peru "The Rt. Rev. T M Clark, Bishop of Rhode

Inland, will deliver a lecture, Monday evening,ou the " Iuoas of Peru," in the Sunday Schoolroom of St. Paul's Church, for tbe benefit ofthat iustitutiOQ. Tue subject is oue of greathistorical interest iu couuection with tbeearliur rao»s of this continent, and BishopClark is a gentleman of learning, research andeminent ability as a writer and speaker. Anintellectual entertainment of uo ordinary at-tractiveuesd may b» anticipated.

Hoboken has bad an unenviable notorietyfor startling and dramatic crimes in tbe wayof suicides, elopements tod Buch.sensationalextravagancies. Most of tbe actors in theseaffair* have been strangers, who selected thisclassic ground to practice their eccentricities ;but it has remained for one of our own in-habitants to combine ib hia short career mostof the effects produoed by the efforts of manyoffenders.

The young debutant rejoices in the name ofH rbert Kinincntb, aged 23. who has man-aged in a few years past to attract attentioniu many discreditable esoapades. He belongsto a highly respectable family, with whosedistress at tbe flagrant delinquencies of Her-bert much sympathy is felt in Hoboken. Thisinveterate scapegrace figured as a would-beauicide about four years ago, " all for love."Other aortpes, the result of idleness andparental indulgence, followed. He was knownduriug the Vosbnrgh trial as the " boy juror,"whose pertoeas and love of notoriety madehim officiously prominent on that occasion.

Tbe last achievement of Kinmoutb, whichis the subjeot of the present sensation, hasbeen an offence of deeper dye than he hadbeen previously charged with, combiningwife abandonment, seduction and elopement.Young Kiumouth, who bad married an ami-able girl a year or two since, has one childnow only five months old; and has treacher-ously and shamefully abandoned them both,adding to his infamy the moral destruction of afoolish, iufatuated young girl, who is tbn com-panion of bis flight. The natural prefaoe tothis scoundrelly oouduot was cruelty io biswife, who not long since was compelled tohave htm arrested for assault, stnoe wheoth«y have been separated.

The most oowardly part of the affair baabeen tbe attempt to represent his un-fortunate victim as the cruel and designingsyren who lured Kiomouth from the paths of

1 virtue and conjugal fidelity. This idea is toopreposterous to be entertained for a moment,the young girl is represented as amiable,affectionate and impressionable, aisd the truthis, we have DO doubt, that she has yielded tothe seductive influences of ati accomplishedvillain, whose whole flt.idy has beeu self-indulgence. It is not ascertained certainlywhich way the parties have gone, but justicewill sooner or later overtake tbe seduoer.

Juvenile Entertainment.Au ttutertaiuoaoiil, which has beeu lor some

time looked forward to with interest by tbeprimary department of tbe First M. M. Sun-day school, oatne off on Wednesday eveningat tbe cburob building and proved very enter-taining ; iu fact, the ages of tbe juvenileaotora being tasen into consideration, it wasquite a success. Miss Fanny Dodd sang veryprettily, and Miss Lain Orevier recited " I amBut a Little Girl" with animation and goodtatts. Beoitations, dialogues, Ac, by MissesSadie Lansing, Bella Middleton, EmmaThorn, Graoie Tetley and Willie Garrabrautevinced oareful training and good appreciationof their stveral parts. "Grandfather'sClock" WM well snag by Emma Young andArchie Hoy I, with oborus by the full olass.One of the best bits of the evening was therecitation of "Little Mischief,'• by Hay On-vier, only six years old, who displayed re-markable talent and appreciation for her age.Tbe exhibition, whioh did out hut an hour,gave much pleasure aod satisfaction to theaudieuoe.

A DARING PLOT.

A Reminiscence of the Rebellion.Oue adventure deserve* especial mention,

since it is not known how near it came to af-ftctiug the destiny of the uation. It appearsthat after Vickeburg had been invested, audthe South threatened at other polutn, G iver-nor Alien, of Louieana, conceived thj des-perate idea of capturiug the person of Geu.Grant. He believe that Grant was the evilgenius of the Confederacy, aud that if hecould be killed or taken prisoner the siege ofVicksburg could be raised, aud the Federalarmy driven back. He sent for Joe Lee andimparted to him his thoughts, aud asked himif he could devise a plan.

It was readily taken to by Lee, who immedi-ately proposed to execute the dariog enter-priite. At that tiaie—that is in the Spring of1864-Grantaud his army were encamped atMilligau'B Bend, near Young's point, on theMississippi, some eighteen miles above Vielis-uurg. General Grant's headquarters were iuthe dwelling-house that belonged to a magni-ficent plantation, much ot which cau be seenfrom the deck of a passing steamor.

Joe Lee proposed to go to that house andbriug away the body of Geueral Grant, deador alive. He chose ave of his moat trustymen. They were the two James brothers,(wo of the Younger brothers, aud Johu Jar-rett. Theae with himself made six Therenever were six better men for such ah expedi-tion. They were young, Btroug, and ao bravea« the bravest. They had been tried in themoat trying placos; did not care muchwhether they lived or died ; were the qnicli-est and best shots in the world, aud roda thefleetest horses in the laud. It was just be-fore the Federal army set out on that sur-prising march down the west side of the river.Tlie coootry was full of marshes, bayous audmora««es,Bo that the natural advantages forthe execution of the plot were good.

The plan was for Joe Loe and his flve tr.isty.followers tu dreig up in the Frederal uniform,ride on horseback to Milligan's Baud, go di-rect to the house where Gram was stopping,rush in and secure big person, put him on aspare burse aud escape to the swamps, whichwere Dear by.

Ou oue Saturday evening late, the party setout from Pioksou'g house, near Delhi, audrode toward the Miisi-isippi. Tuere wag not ajsoul ou earth beside themselves and Governor

Allen that knew of their desperate mission.It was something over tweuty-flve miles theyhad to go, aud the night wag a dark one, butlong before day they were at the edge of thewoods that bordered on the plantation onwhich -Grant was quartered. There was noenemy to attack from the west side, and therewas no particular precaution about guards.The pickets were passed before BUU up, aud,while the General was still asleep, the guer-riks rode boldly up through the opeu fieldtoward the house. There they were—six men—seven horses—the empty saddle for thecommander of the hundred thousand menwho were camped about iu every direction.They approached witbiu almost a stone'sthrow of the house when they met a negro.

They were discovered!It was an old man whom these very men

had run away from Delhi not ten ditys before.Hi»kuew them all, aud immediately gave thealarm. In a moment there was a great tumult,and the nix guerrillas had nothing to do hutsave their lives. They broke through theHeld, aud iu the twiuKliug of an eye wereback iu the wood*, but not until a hundredsliotH had been tired after them. 13 fore tho8uu went dovvu they were safe at their favoriteredtzvouj. Tlan »vas frustrated one of thetnoat daring pLitu of the war.

A Spacious Apartment.The nephew was the typical nephew of (he

comedies and uovuls ; the uuclti, the typicaluncle. The foruior got himself into debt;the latter had to help him out of debt.

But the most long suffering of men raait atlast lose patience, aud oue fluo day the unclewrites to his dear nephew that all is over be-tween them. N it another peony.

The nephew flies down to his uuclu'rt coun-try seat and falls at his venerable relative'sgouty feet.

" Uncle Peter, dear Uncle Peter, just thisonce. Aid me to straighteu out this snarl iumy finances, aud I will never, never come toyon.again."

"Oh, Roland, I know you too well. Mysister's son-Tiny ouly sister's sou," says theold raan, wiping away a furtive tear.

"Ah, your heart is touched ; you will assistme once more?" says the young man.

" Listen," saiu his aged relative; " have youa rule?"

" A which ?"" A rule—a foot-rule ?"" Why should I have oue ? I aiu't a carpen-

ter.'1

" Go and find one immediately."Tue young man, puzzled but hopeful, goes,

aud at the end of half an hour returns audsays: " Uuole, dear, here ig the foot-rule."

"Very well; measure this room, leugtb,breadth and height, go as to ascertain itsoubio dimeusiona."

The young man, more puzzltd than eversets about big taBk, and at last makes bis re-port.

" Uncle, the room contains 3,000 cubicfeet." ' ; • ' . •

" You are sure of that ?"" Absolutely.""Very well," gays the old gentlemen, rising

to big feet aud speaking in a tone of thunder;"ui juoiv, sir, if tint room, which contains3,000 cubic feet, was filled with double eag|espacked so tightly that you couldn't lain, jamor cram a three-cent piece into it I wouldn'tgive you a penny. Git 1"

A Romant ic Sequel to the Russo-Turkish W a r .

Russian newspapers relate some romanticattachments which have sprung up betweenTurkish prisoners of war aud Russian ladiesof various ages in the towns where the formerhave been detained, leading iu some cases tosomewhat sensational and rather inconven-ieut scenes upon the departure of the Turks.At Cuarkoff a Bussiau girl, dressed up as aTurk, took her place among tho returningMyskms. She wag deUpted on numberiug

the persons oonveyed iu tho car. At PaUavaayoungladly of position and edicati n insie edupon accompanying a Turkish offioer, »•whom she earnestly dmied to be mttrrieu.At the same place the departure of one rail-way train carrying liberated prisoners led to aregular scene, necessitating the interferenceof the polioe and calling for orders, whichhave since been given, to prevent similar oc-currences in future. A crowd of ladies, youngand old, some only sobool girls, assembled onthe platform and took leave of the departiugTurka in the most pathetio and demonstra-tive of ways. All embraced, all kissed, someburst into tears, others fainted away. Allthis was done in public. The school girlstaking part in the display have since been ex-pelled from their schools.
