thousand Chinese on the Pacific coast; they

The juror business in Chicago is, to the
superficial observer, a little curious. They
won’t let a man become a juror there if he
wants to be one, and they make him become
a iuror if he doesn’t want to be one. If a
man tri$s to get on a jury they either pay or
punish him, according to the result of the
attempt. If be tries and fails they punish
him; he is fined. If he tries and succeeds
they reward him; they pay him two dollars a
day.

To* German Church and State Contro
versy.—The trouble between the Archbishop
ol Posen aod the Berlin authorities is grow
ing serious. As far as reported, he has ap
pointed forty-three priests contrary to the
new German law regulating ecclesiastical ap
pointments in the Empire. He has already
been fined 1,300 thalers, and been imprisoned
for bfa acts. Having been summoned before
the District Court to answer a charge similar
to those already preferred, the Arch
bishop addressed a letter to the Court, io
which he declared that the law is not
compatible with the principles and dogmas
of the Catholic Church, and that he cannot,
without grossly violating his duties toward
Go l and the Church, assist in carrying out
the law. His position is warmly approved
by the Pope, who comforts him with the assu
rance that “God is now, by the unbridled
efforts of hell, preparing the eventual regen
eration, and for a triumph of the Church, at
this moment deprived of all human assistance;
and that by the visible manifestation of His
power He wi.l compel even the proudest

write.
Senator WEST of Louisiana inquired of
the gentleman whose fault that was.
Senator BAYNARD—It may suit the

now, but there were periods in his life
when he could answer it, having lived in the

with those who were charged with prevent

Terrible Accident -Fallino in of an Ice

Philadelphia, February 13, 1874
Between 9 and 10 o’clock this morning a
terrible accident occurred at Mdler’s Brewery
on Thirty-first and Thompson streets. The
ice house attached to the brewery fell in, bu
rying in the rains some eight of the emplyees.
One was taken out dead; two more are in the
ruins. Intense excitement prevails in the
neighborhood. A large force of policemen are
at the scene working with the citizens to res
cue the unfortunate workmen. After working
several hours in the ruios the workmen ex
posed the head and part of the arm of one of
ths unfortunate men, who is undoubtedly
dead; bnt from the great mass of brick, ioe
and wood work about him it was
evident that it would be some boors before
the body could be exhumed. In close prox
imity to this body there are supposed to he
two other men who were in the building
when it fell. They were working side by side
with the man whose sold band was exposed.

with a recommendation that it do pass.

The Heuwc than proceeded to consider the

Upon the question of pay of the members

Upon this question tbe yeas and na>8 were

Almost a Tragedy.
SERIOUS RRNCOUN TEB BETWEEN MR. M. E.
SXELSER, OF THE AVALANCHE, AND MR
C. M. ROBINSON, OF THE BEGI8
TER - FIVE SHOTS WITH
OUT EFFECT.
About half-past eleven o’clock last night,
on Adams street, near Main, an unfortunate
difficulty, which came near ending in a
tragedy, took place between Mr. M. E.
Smelser, local editor of the Avalanche, and
Mr. C. T. Robinson, who, until a day or two
ago, was river and commercial editor of the
Register, with which paper he is still con
nected. The difficulty, we understand, was
caused by the following article in yesterdiy
morning’s Avalanche, headed—
“HE is THE SAME.”
“The Charles T. Robinson who so vigor
ously made charges against President Lang
s'aff, of the Howard Association in Tuesday s
Appeal, and who so cheerfully retracted the
sum8 iu yesterday’s issue of that paper, is the
same man who was fora day or two suspected
of tnc robbery of R. Walsh, thn Overton hotel
tailor, after the latter had died from an attack
of the yellow-fever. He is the same man who
was discharged from the Howards lor drunk
enness, and is the same man who was accused
of stealing champagne from the association,
and also tbe tauie whom William Thomas,
tbe colored man, alluded to whet he said in
his testimony in the Reynaud esse: ‘Mr. Rob
inson told me that I wusn’t say anything
about the champagne which he had drank.'
He is also the same man who, from his good
ness of heart, refrained from chastising a re
porter of this paper for reporting the above.
In fact, now and always, ‘He is the same.’”
MR. SMELSEB'S STATEMENT.
Mr. Smelser states that while in the busi
ness department of tho Avalanche, on Jeffer
son street, Mr. Robinson came there and said
he wanted to see him. He stepped out on
the pavement, and Robinson wanted him to
retract the article alluded to. He refused to
do so, bnt told Robinson to publish a card
denying it, as he woald not retract what he
had published. He (Robinson) would not
consent to do this, and he concluded the
matter was dropped. He told Robinson that
he had just written a notice of the minstrels,
and was going to the Adams street station
bou?e to see if there were any items there.
He asked Robinson to go with him, and
they had proceeded aa far as the Clay
building, when Mr. Robinson again
asked him to retract what be published in
that morning’s Avalanche. He relused to do
it, and told him that it was no use to talk
about it, but to write his card. They then
proceeded, aud while walking down Adams
street, about halt way between Main street
and the station bouse, Robinson struck him
over the right eye, the blow causing him to
stagger. It was so unexpected that he could
not tell what he was struck with. Robinson
then commenced firing, and discharged live
shots at him, one bail striking Smelser in the
right breast, and afUr penetrating the lapelle
of his overcoat, smashed a button, which pre
vented it entering. He immediately rushed
toward Robinson, who fired down Main street
toward Jefferson. At the alley by Bryson &,
Camp’s store, two policemen slopped them,
and they went to the station house.
mr. robinson’s statement.
Mr. Robinson said he h *d been anxious to
see Mr. Smelser all day, in regard to the arti-,
cle reflecting upon bis character, but was un
able to fiud him. Ho saw Mr. Brower, the
editor, who said Mr. Smelser wrote the article
complained of, and to see him about it. It
he was not responsible, he (Brower) was. He
did not see Smefaer until a lew minutes before
i he difficulty occurred. They were walking
together on Adams street; he asked Smelser
to retract the publication. Smolser said he
would not do it, as he could prove that the
atatement raado in the article was true. He
told Smelser that he did not intend tor such
charges to go before the public, as they were
uujast, and he asked him to retract them.
Smelser said, “What do you take me for?”
whereupon he, Robiuson, struck him over the
eye with his t pi*tol, thou the the shooting,
commenced. He legretted tho occurrence
but did not see how he could help it.
AT THE STATION HOUSE.
When the parties were carried to tho station
hoiiie, Mr. Robinsoj was temporarily placed
in the prison building. Their pistols were
delivered, aud five chambers of Mr. Robiu-
soup, which is a small cartridge ‘ patent in
strument, being empty, and one of Mr.
Smefaer s being empty. In a short while a
w*riant ol shcoting with A iutent to kill wa
sworn ont against both parties by Thomas J
Adams before Justice Spelman. The pro
prietors of the Avalanche and Register, learn
ing of the difficulty, went to tho station
house and tbe accused, who will have an in
vestigation before Justice Hindman this af
ternoon, wero admitted to bail. While re
gretting the difficulty, we are glad to koow
that its result is not more serious. Mr. Hind-
ser is not seriously injured. He is bruited
over the right eye, {the overcoat buttoul bav
in* prevented the bullet entering the breast,
and producing a dangerous, if not fatal
wound.
urrsiisooN session.
The House met at 3 *. x., Speaker BACON

The unfinished business of the day, which
was the consideration ot the question of pay
of the members of ths General Assembly, was
resumed.
Orange Secrets Revealed*
HOW INITIATIONS ARE CONDUCTED.
From the Randolph Enterprise.
On being brought into the ante-room of
the lodge (Greengrocer Temple No. 101), I
was told that I had been ballotted for and ac
cepted. My informant, who was securely
masked by what I afterwards learned was a
large burdock leaf, perforated with holes for
the eyes, told me that if I valued my life it
would be necessary for me to strip. As I did
consider that of considerable worth to me,
and as he italicised his wishes by carelessly
playing with a seven-shooter, I withdrew
from my garments with eagerness. My mask
ed friend then furnished me with the regalia
of first degree—called “The Festive Plough-
boy”—which consisted of merely one large
cabbage leaf attached to a waistband of pota
to vines. In this airy costume I was conduc
ted to the door, where my companion gave
three distinct raps. (I was securely blind
folded by binding a slice of rutabaga over
each eye.) A sepulchral voice from within
asked: “Who cornea?”
My guide answered: “A youthful agricult-
urist.who desires to become a granger.”
Sepulcral voice—Have you looked him
carefully ovei?
Guide—I have, noble gate-keeper.
S. V.—Do you find any agricultural marks
about his person?
Guide—I do. •
S. V.—Whatarethej?
Guide—The candidate has carroty hair, red
dish whiskers, and a turnup nose.
8. V.—’Tis well. Why do ycu desire to be
come a granger?
Guide (answering for candidate)—That I
may be thereby the better enabled to barrow up
the feelings of the rascally politicians.
S. Y.— You will bring in ths candidate.
My worthy stripling, as you cannot see. I
will cause you to feel that you are received at
the door on the three points of a pitchfork,
pierciDg the region of tbe stomach, which is
to teach you tbe three great virtues—faith,
hope and charity. Fsrih in yourself, hope
for cheaper farm machinery, and charity for
the lighting-rod peddler. You will now be
harnessed and in representation of the horse,
Pegasus, will be tested as to endurance and
wind.
Tho candidate is here atttached to a small
imitation plow, by means of hempen harness.
A dried pumpkin vine is put in his mouth
for a bit and bridle—he is made to get down
upon all fours, tho guide seizes the bridle,
and urged on by a Granger armed with a
Canada thistle, which he vigorously applies
at the terminus of the spine, the candidate
is galloped three times around the room.
While making the circuit the members arise
and sing :
GetupandduBt you bully boy—
Who wouldu’t be a Granger?
If tbe thistle’s prick don’t oauae yon Joy,
To filing yon must be eatraoged, ah!
After this violent exercise he is rnbbed dry
witlk corn cobs, be. a waxed where tbistled,
and brought standing np before the great
chief—the most worshipfnl pumpkin Ufead.
M. W. P. H.—Why do you desire to be a
granger?
Candidate (answering for himself)—That
I may learn to extinguish sewing machine
agents.
M. W. P. H.—Have your hands been
hardened with toil ?
Candidate—Not extensively, but then I am
not running for office.
M. W. P. H.—’Tis well, for our lodges
contain several w ho are supposed to he ready
to sacrifice themselves for the good of their
constituents. Do yon feel pretty smart this
evening?
Candidate —Yea, where the bustle goes on.
M. W. P. H.—(savagely)—Give me a chaw
of tobacker!
Candidate searches himself thoroughly, but
as there is no place about him to stick a pock
et, tries to explain, but the most worshipful
pumpkin-head interrupts him with:
“Never mind, my dear young friend—I am
well aware that in yonr present condition jon
can no more furnish your friends with the
weed than Adam could be comiortable in a
plug hat and tight boots. It is merely to
teach you the great lesson of economy—doing
to others as you’d like to have them do to you.
You will now be conducted to the most emi
nent squash producer, who will teach you the
grand hailing sign of distress. Tbe sign, my
worthy brother, will insure you against many
of the ills of the agriculturist—amongst others
against drouths and being hit by the ferocious
grasshopper.”
The candidate is now conducted to the most
eminent squash producer, who thus savs:
“My worthy brother, I will now invest you
with the order of the festive Ploughboy, which
you have won by your heroic achievement
while harnessed—may you ever wear it with
pleasure to yxurself, and may it be a means of
terror to your ememies.”
(The M. E. S. P., then proceeds to invest
the candidate with tbe regalia of the Festive
Ploughboy, (which consists ot a long tomato
necklace.) “The grand hailing sign of dis
tress is made by gently closing the left eye,
laying the right fore-finger alongside the nose,
and violently wagging tbe ears. It requires
practice, but the advantages ars immense. It
also has an important signification, which you
will do well to heed. The closing of tbe eye
signifies that in all your dealings with mankind
you are boand to have an eye to business.
Laying the finger along-side the nose is em-
blematioal of wisdom, and places you at once
among tbe ‘knowiog ones.’ This is extreme
ly handy in prognosticating the weather, and
saves the wear and tear of almanacs. Wag
ging tbe ears signifies sublimity of purpose,
and is thought to be emblematical of child
hood's happy hours. It is also supposed by
some profound scholars to have a distinct rof-
erenoe to apple dumplings, but this fact ia
somewhat obscured by the dust of
ages. Io token that you are ODe of
us, you will now be branded.
This ceremony is very impressive, and con
sists of two brands. They are both applied
“while the iron is hot,” and consist of one
letter of the alphabet eaob. The first it a
Urge letter 8, on which you will please sit
wuile the other letter is applied to tbe stom
ach. The letter S, my worthy ohicken, sigt
Difies scooped, and refers to railroad monop
olies. It is also supposed to indioate ths sea-
of learning—tbe spot where ths old tims
teacher hunted for brains with the fernls.
The seoond letter is C, end is spplied, as 1
said before, to the stomach. It baa a double
meaning. First, ths application is an agri
cultural one, “corn orib,” and haa refer
ence to the stomech as being ths great
receptacle for Bourbon whisky. But,
brother, do not be diligent in finding a home
market for your corn. Ths seoond applica
tion of ths letter C, my distracted intent, is
got held of as follows: When one granger
desires to ascertain “for sure” if there is an
other of the order in the room, he raises him
self geutly by tbe slack of his—of his unmen
tionables—scratches his off thigh with his
near hoof, aud remarks in a voioe of thunder:
“Are there soy grangers about ?” The an
swer is “Jeeso wax.” The inquirer then
says, “let us see (letter 0), and the other
patty must immediately pull out hia stomach
and disclose tbe brand.
These brands are applied in such a manner
that I am enabled to aesure you that they
will wash.
I whs here interrupted, Mr. Editor, by a
volley fired into the open window, evidently
iutended for me. Fortunately I steeped
without e scratch, and which is of more con-
stquenoe, succeeded iu fetching off my pre
cious manuscript This is about ell there Is
in the ceremony of any Importance—I must
leave the country at onoe—armed men are at
my heels—they know that I am writing to ex
pose them. You may beer from me again by
mail, if I should deem it best to expose the
other degrees—until then—adieu.
From yout sacred friend, B. Pols.
Notice. —This ceremony of initiation is used
daring ths absence of the lady members.
Thslr initiatory oeremoniea are entirely dif
ferent, being much simplified, as they saoald
