A STANGE SCENE IN CHURCH. til ofpebple’snfhe l^States Courts jjjst LAUG HERISXS. { Considerable consternation was created within the peaceful walls of Glebe Street Church at a prayer meet ing. held last Wednesday morning. Answer of the church bad just closed a somewhat lengthy prayer, and the conferfegntion was about to resume- their seats, when a “ strange lady” from the body of the church began to oflcr up another prayer. She weut on and prayed earnestly for tho ministry, the old men and children, the young men wad maiden's, for the future welfare of the City by the sea, mid' in short for every tiling. Meanwhile, the congre gation looked ou motionless with amazement. it being strictly prohibited by the rules of the church for a woman to preach or lend in prayer. At the close of the prayer, the pas tor of the church, the Rev. J. L. Girardeau, I). D., requested the lady in firm but respectful terms, not to re peat tho unusual proceeding. The latter made no audible reply, but it is whispered among the congregation that she had expressed her determination to try it again. She was present at a prayer meeting held Thursday at the same church, but the order of service had been so arranged as to prevent tier having an opportunity of offering another prayer. The strangest part of the stoiy is, that no one knows the name of the lady or where she comes from. It is said that she has represented herself to be a regularly ordained missionary, come to Charleston to preach the Gos pel.— ClmrUdon .Yen s. Acte of heroism are not alone per formed by men. They are not limit ed to battle fields or to the decks of sinking vessels. Lottie Dougherty, of Millville, New Jersey, a young school girl, studied telegraphing last summer, end in August accepted a situation at Radnor, a station on the Pennsylvan ia Central Railroad, boarding at Eagle •Station, a mile or more distant. One evening, on her way to the station, a thuuder storm came up. The light ning struck the instrument nnd burn ed out the magnet. She supplied an other and was ready for. business Going to tho door, she noticed by the light of a flash of lightning, that a huge tree had been uprooted by the storm and blown across the track. An express train of cars was due in a few minutes, and local trains would follow it. She comprehended the situation in a moment, ami though opposed -bv several men in the station, she seized a signal lamp, run through the fearful storm up the track, nnd swung her lamp till she heard the engineer whistle down the breaks. Tho speed of the train was checked, so that the cars were not thrown off the track, though 'he lomotive struck the tree with such violence as to hurl a heavy bi.uveli against the girl’s shoulder, throwibg nor down the embankment into a deep ditch. She was taken out and carrjed ,0 ^ ,G “fhee, where she telegraphed the nows of the accident and remained on a «ty all night. A largo sum of mon- for her by the passen- •.n ^'' i ?' le ‘efusod.

From the North and from the South, from the East and from the far West, come the cries of the people against the men into whose hands has been committed the administration of the laws in our Federal Courts. If tlie people themselves be not . corrupt, the word Federal will ere long become a stench in their nostrils. Federal Judge Hugh L. Bond, stands first alphabetically, at least, on the list of! those to whom we shall re fer this morning. Of him it was pub- My doclato ipn rtb$ floor of the Uni ted Stares f&nate that if wbuld bc pre ferable for an innocent man to fun tbe gauntlet of the bullets "of a squadron of cavalry, rather than to be tried be fore bis courts. Next in order comes Federal Judge Delahay, of Kansas, who-was formal ly impeached by the late United States House of Representatives for incapaci ty because of drunkeness. He had the habit sometimes of preferring the gutter to the bench. In extenuation of his conduct it was urged, we be lieve, and without contradiction, that he had never stolen anything! • Federal Judge D u reii, *of’Louisinna, is next upon the list of judical worthies. This man is the pliant tool who inaug urated the difficulties that have so long afflicted the people of Louisiana. This is the man who, according to the report of the Committee of the United States Senate, organized a Legislature by an order of court, in a suit to per petuate testimony! He is the man of whom even Radical Senator Morton says his conduct “ caunot be justified.” He “ grossly exceeded his jurisdic tion,” and was guilty “of gross usur pation.” This is the man.whose edicts the President supports at the point of the bayonet. This man, an well as Delahay and Bond, wears the judicial ermine. Next comes Federal Judge Sherman, of Ohio. This man belongs to the bluest of blue Puritan blood. • Heis a descendant of any number of Sher mans of former times. He is no “poor buckra” or “ cracker” or “ poor white trash.” He belongs to the top of fee S it of the Northern aristocracy. His tliei was a Judge before him. He Is a brother of United States Senator John Sherman. Chairman of Senate Committee on Finance. He is also brother of the Geuernl of me armies of the United States, William Tecum- seh Sherman, who recently issued the infamous order about the utter exter mination of a band of savages, without regard to j»uilt or innocence, age .or sex. This is the man who claimed ten thousand dollars from parties in New York for influencing his brother, the Senator, in behalf of certain legislation favorable to them. This is the man that the resolutions, proposed in the Bar Association of Cleveland, Ohio, call upon to resign, for the reason that he has evinced such a want of integrity and such a moral turpitude as to destroy all confidence in his judicial administration and re gime, that he should at once resign and relieve the Federal Court . from the emlrorrassmont consequent upon his continued occupancy of the Jq<fc;eship. But we must not omit to mention an other distinguished memlier of the Sherman family. . We refer to Feder al General Miles, who, if we mistake not, married a daughter of this emi nent judicial lobbyist. General Miles the hero who put manacles upon Jefferson Davis. A nice family, that! Last ujsin our list stands Federal Judge Underwood, of Virginia. This is the man who once from the bench, took occasion to make sport and jest of the sufferings President Davis was then undergoing at Fortres-s Monroe. This is the man whose conduct, at a later day, the Siq>reiue Court of- the United States declared to be “ a blot upon our jurisprudence and civiliza tion,” and the Supreme Court of Ap peals of Virginia declared to be enough to shock the moral sense of every hon est man. These are the men who administer ed justice in Federal Courts! Fellow countrymen, what do you think of them ? If you have taper fingers, mind you don’t burn them. *»1 a heib .ytiiuoo nrwh i •* flaw s# j| Jim si ytnuoO t*u»H !•**■*» ,4«-bo<vpm«> townq ww ‘Put .i J i I A .III I me in my Mrs. Gubblns says her husband is like a.tollow.candle^eqauaft fee always Will smoke whhn Ire'ra going'out.' - ’ A young husband handed his Wife a dozen buttons the dther^hiy’and asked her to put a shirt to them.

Let Jus grab and go away.” j 111} A man writing poetically of the weather says: “The backbone of win ter is broken, but the tail wags yet occasionally.” England is celebrated for its fogs, France for its frogs, Ireland for its bogs, Canada for its dogs, Maine for its logs and Ohio for its hogs. The Vermont roads arc so bad that many of the old women cau't go to town for tobacco, aud have to smoke beech leaves.

Paradise. The brawls and fights which some times occur arc .terrible, Imagination refuses to picture to itself the norrible and depraved scenes enacted when the WOMAN’S SUFFRAGE KNOlKED IN THE HEAD BY THE SUPREME COURT. The judgment in the Myra Brad- well case, in the Supreme Court, gave the advocates of woman’s rights but scant satisfaction. The reasons, pub lished iu our Washington dispatches of Tiuvtlny, upon which that judgment is founded, give them still less. The pre mises are, if anything, worse than the conclusion. Not satisfied with the dis tinction made by the law between the sexes, Judge Bradley was cruel enough to appeal to the law of nature, and the law of nature as interpreted by the Suprenje Coprt, “ recc^ifees * wide difference in the spheres and destinies of man and woman. 1 * 'The “domestic sphere properly belongs to tbe domain and functions of woman.” But the unkindest cut of all remains.

If fee Supreme Court would only practically carry out its view, and marry fecit*' people ofl’to fee Indians, there might lie some hope of peace on the frontier; Oar Ted friends would have trouble enough . at home to give them a distaste for the war-path.

You might give him an emetic, and he wouldn’t.re turn it.”* A New York female who read that the Hoosnc fenel oust nine hundred dollars per yard, said she would have a dress pattern off from that piece, if the old man did not lay up a cent for the next two years. _ A father and two sons, a few years ago, married three sisters in Iowa. The lindutiful sons liave driven their un- hnppy parent to the verge of insanity hv trying to explan the relationship of their children. “My deak,” said the sentimental Mrs. Wliddles, “home, you know, is the dearest place on earth.” “Well, yes,” said the practical Mr. Waddles, it costs mo abimt twice as much os any pther spot.” -5 t ? “ Six feet in his boots!” exclaimed Mrs. Beeswax ; “ What will the im pudence of this world come to, I won der! Why, they might as well tell me that the man has six heads in his hat “ Sam you’s learned ip de law; can you say if ole Lucifer was to lose his tail, where would lie go to find onoder one?”—“Why, to dotabern, of course, you ignoramus—dat’s de only place I knows on where dey re-tail bad spir its.” A secteon of plastering about the size of a bod quilt fell on the heads of a groupc of State Senators, who occu pied seats together in a Nasl vil’e thea tre, the other evening. The frighten ed legislators imagined an investiga tion was at hand. This pathetic case illustrates, as in- dted all other cases do. the truth that thir*l is far more terrible than hunger. The man’s resolution was not strong enough to resist the desire for drink, yet he never seems to have faltered in his determination to refrain from food. It will be further noticed that he ceas ed to complain of the cold when thirst set in fiercelybecause then fever had also supervened. Tlie gentleman who picked up a set of ladies upper teeth, at th* reception of Speaker B- .last Friday eve ning, is requested to-leave them at No.—Penn avenue, as he is knowq.

They relate, in the main, however, to Outrages upon public lilierty-outragcS upon the rights of citizens aUd’ the rights of States. Their teudeucey is directly to centralization, empire des potism.

Of late years he had devoted himself ns a special champion of woman’s rights, and to this was indebted for his chief prom- nencc in this country*.—Savannah Ad- vcrlisc ■■■ ■•' v ear or, A Singular Character.—There is a man about thirty-five years old* says the Transcript, now living within fifty mile* nf Conway,. N. H., who was born an invalid, and could neither walk nor talk until uearly ten years of age, and appeared Wotic. When some ten yearn of age be began to walk i bn his toes, which lie has done ever since. Losing his balance, one day he fell, strik ing his head on the floor, and cried out “Bump!” This was the first and only word he was known to speak un til nearly twelve years of age, when he fell a second time repeating the first word, after which he talked freely. The most remarkable part of his hits tory is that as soon as he began to talk he could read nearly as well. as. other children of his age. When about eighteen years old his father fitted up a small room tor him, putting iu $25 worth of notions. He is now in company with a brother in trade, having goods estimated worth at least $5,000, and is doing nearly all fee work *in fee store. ,, j ,i It appears that the services of China men in California arc no longer sought after with avdidity by shoe manufac turers.

Quilt. Pens.—Quill pens, which n few years ago were despised as being of the old-fogy order, are coming into favor again. . This is partly owing .to the very inferior quality of many of the kind* of steel pens’now iiv the market, and partly to the- fact that most writers like to show that, they are “sound <5rf the gooset” A singnlar Good'Frida custom stiff prevails at Smithfield.
