The story is a singu lar one an '; ..il'ords abundant scope for speejl a' ion.

The .story lai Its confirma tion, l.ii. it accords with what is passing in the minds oi many Democrats Tlu-y have no reason to .-appose r' ' Mr. Kandail will in the lutUio ::.o. h.ui in the p i-t defer to the u i .. : of tin- majority ot ihr parts in which lie cl un.s membership, and it is bur natural that they should wish to -co him relegated to a po-i'iuii in which he will be loss able to thwart the par ty's poi-ev. '1 In- small faction he led m the last C' digress, by its arro gant and uncompromising course t hrou rl. aut two sessions. utterly detnorali.cd the House, and by de feating tho cheii.-hi'd aims of the Democracy to a certain extent discredited :: before the country. There is no good reason why the larger pai t of the Democratic rep resentation in the i.ext House shotild not bo equ illy determined to hifve its wnv. It certainly has a better title to it. H those who see the nee. ssity of revenue reform ire not of a temper to enforce their j convictions, it need surprise no one if there are some lew who have the stomach to light. Should this1 prove to be the case, the Randall-' ites iu the next House will be con-' fronted by a resolute band of tariff ; reformers, and there would be a. division of the Democratic repre sentation into throe groups the; Randallite-, acting on revenue questions vi ili Cue Republicans. 1 and forming what in France would be called the right; the tariff re-1 formers, equally bent upon thej assertion of their principles, consti-' tuting the lef t, w hile the remainder, . embracing tho more conservative, timid or indifferent members ot the party would constitute the centre, i Such is the division which Mr. j Randall, by hi5 reckless disregard I of t'ne wishes of others, threatens! to bring about. It is necessary, to! escape this result, that submission i to the will of the majority, as ascer- j tained in caucus, be made the test j of party membership. If the Ran-1 dallites are un willing to recognize! the right of the majority to impose! a tesf, there is no alternative, it now begins to be thought, but for, the majority to decline to attempt; to organize the Fiftieth Congress. If it cannot Ic organized with a view to the carrying out ol Demo cratic ideas, it is questioned whether it is for the good of thej pai i , looKiug iu us liiigei luici -1 ests, to be only nominally in control ; of the IIou.se, the actual control j being in the hands of the Republi-1 cans, assisted by a few protection-; ist Democrats. Only defeat and; disgrace, it is held, can atteud an effort to legislate for the country in ; a Democratic sense in the face of such a coalition. Should Mr. Car-, lisle gne the pledge said to have been asked for by the more reso- lute tariff reformer, it will then become apparent whether Demo cratic protectionists in the House care more for their party or their i principles.

A miner in the Rocky mountains describes an encounter with a titteen-huudred-pound griz zly, which shows that discretion is. sometimes the better part of valor. He came upon the monster sudden ly on turning a sharp corner at the bottom ut a deep ravine. -This giant looked at me in utter astonishment. He was not more than ten feet distant, and I had not a sii.gio weapon of defence, save a pocket small pemoline in m cm I looked at him a moment and -aw n;:u w.-crtclly eying me.

Tha Czar Not Attacked London". March 14. The report print ed by the Standard that an unsuccess ful attempt to assassinate the Czar of Russia had been made is utterly dis credited by M. de Staal, the Russian ambaesador here, w ho saya he has re ceived no telegram in relation to such an attempt, and this he considers sufTi cientevider.ee that the rtport is un founded. A service in the Russian chapel today in oemmemoration of the Czar's acces sion to the throne crowded the place with diplomats in full uniform, con spicuous above all being the members of the Russian embassy. After the ser vice the members of the Russian em t&sey were congratulated by all present that the rumor of the attempt on the life of the Czar was unfounded. In the House of Commons this after noon Sir James Fergusson. parliamen tary secretary to the foreign office, stated that the government had been informed that some persons with ex- ; plosives in their possession . had been arrested in St. Petersburg yesterday on j the route which tho Czar was to have i taken to attend a service which was to ; have been performed in commemora tion of the late Czar, it being the anni- , versary of his dfath. Sir James Fer gusson said he was glad to be able to announce that no attack was made on the Czar. Dispatches from Frankfort, Berlin and Vienna say that the bourses at those places were weak today in consequence of the rumors that an attempt had been made to kill the Czar. It hag transpired that the plot against the Crar was widespread and serious, and that numerous arrests have been made in connection therewith. Paris, March 14. The Russian and Polish anarchists of Paris yesterday held a so-called '"Execution of the Czar,'' Violent speeches were made. A Lest Child in the Denniead Case, New Brunswick, N. J., March 14.

At the coroner's inquest to- j day Mary Ann Brundage, the only i sister of the dead woman Cornelia, told ! the 6tory of her marriage, of her hus- ' band's desertion of her, the stealing of ! her child, and the shame afterwards! brought upon her by her sisteCs rela tions with the Denmeads. She asserts i that Cornelia and Samuel Denmead be- gan to live together in 1857. although no marriage ceremony had been per- j formed. The Day family mentioned 1 in one of the papers is the '"Daly'' or Dally"' family of Woodridge Tha ; family is related to the Ayreses. John F. Babcock. the veteran editor 1 and publisher of this city, says that in I the early fifties Mrs. Ayres spent i through him in advertising for her lost child in Western and Southwestern newspapers a great deal of mcuey. cf which she always had plenty.

After the examination, the students were exercised in marching about a half hour; after which a long and con venient table was set, containing almost every variety of food that seemed de licious to the appetite. At 6:43 p. m., the house being beau tifully decorated, afforded an intense congregation. The rhetorical exercises then began with the salutatory, and were continued by declamations. Ora tions, essays, select reading, and dia logues. In conclusion of the ejtercises, short but appropriate addresses were delivered by Messrs. Jas. H. IMosely, N. C. Rountree, and Rev. H. Be.

Tha Latest Sailway Horror, Boston, March 15. The awful catas trophe on the Boston and Providence railroad yesterday is still the topic of conversation in the household, upon th street and in places of business, and the same remark is upon everybody 's lips, "it fearful," "its terrible. " The saddest scenes of all are those which present themselves in and about the residences, where lie the mutilated remains of loved ones. Crepe is hang ing from many door knobs in Dedham, Roslindale and West Roxbury. Today the people seem to realize the horror connected with the catastrophe more than they did yesterday. Then all wa3 bustle and excitement. Today their sympathy i3 unbounded, and the horrid reality seems to make itself more apparent to them. The scenes this morning about the wreck was animated, although the air was raw and cold and a snow storm prevailed, several hundred people put in their appearance to take a look at what remained of the wreck. At 7 o'clock there were certainly 500 people at the scene, and the number steadily increased to thousands up to noon. Among the multitude were hundreds of women. Hundreds of relic-hunters, men, women and children, could be seen carrying away pieces of the broken cars. A large. squad of policemen is on hand. A band of workmen are busy removing the debris. It i9 probable that the list will not be increased, for all the injured at the hospitals were re ported this morning as having passed a comfortable night and are likely to re cover. Even those considered most seriously hurt are doing well, but still all danger is not yet removed. Half of Oxford Burned. Tin: 1 1 h ? : heueved to have been in cendiary. O::: r.o, N. C, March 15. A firs broke cut at the Johnson warehouse at 1.30 o'clock this morning. There was a high wind and the flames spread rapidly ia a southward direction, jumping across Commercial Avenue and burn ing the houses on both sidestif the street for some distance. Half of the business part of the town was destroyed. Twenty-three firms were burned out. The loss is about 8100.000. In surance scarcely one-half. The general belief id that it is the work of incen-diiri-s. Great excitement prevails. The w hite people think they can lay their hands on those responsible for the conllagration and further trouble is fear-d. I-I- Cou.d Not Tell a Lia.

Leaning oer mc and elanciL'C downward, he discovered a respecmble citizen, with his silk hat scrouched over his eyes and ears, rising from a recumbent posture.
