If the Ilepublican national leaders are
wise, they will not attempt to bring lo the
threibolil of Gaifield's administration a new
and irritating sectional issue by attempting
to postpone the Congressional app-ulion-ment,
on the pretext that some of the South
ern States have forleitcd full representative
power by depriving c-rtain voters of the
right of suffrage. The proposition to in
quire into such restraint upon suffrage is
merely the pretext for postponing the ap
portionment, with tbo view of forcing some
party advantage out of the apportionment
by a Republican Congress ; but sudi a re
opening of sectional strife should be man
fully condemned by the sincere men of both
sections. Such an ir.quiry would exteud to
the Xorth es well as theSoutb, and if hon
estly prosecuted, it would exhibit a degree
and extent of political coercion in the
North at the late election, that was not
equaled in any Southern States, and it would
absolutely sot asido the electoral vote of
Rhode Island and deprive her of one Con
gressman. If the proposed investigation
could be made in good faith it would be well
to have it made ; but a partisan investiga
tion, conceived atid prosecuted aolely for
party purposes, would rcultas all such in
quiries of the past have resulted, and the
only practical outcomo would be general
sectional disturbance. If any of the State
North or South, have disfranchised voters,
the House uf Representatives will have am
ple opportunity to express and correct them
in the disposal of contested seats; but if
President Garfield would rule wisely and
save himself from early defeat in bolh

THAT ADORNS ST. MARK'S CHUIiCH AT
MAUCII CHUNK,
The reredos erected in St, Mark's church,
Mauch Chunk, to the memory of Judge
Packer's family is a magnificent and costly
work of art, In fraut of it stand an nllar
and super-altar, elaborately sculptured in
polished marble. Tho reredos is in the mid
dle-poiuted style of architecture. The centre
and most prominent group, rising above
the altar, contains eleven figures and repie-
sents the ascension. On each aide of this
main group are lesser groups in panels.
The left hand group represents the appear'
ance of Christ to Mary Magdalene 00 the
morning of the resurrection. The lelt-hand
group represents His appearance to bia dis
ciples on the same day in the evening, In
the main gable above the central group is
a sitting figure of "Our I)rd in Majesty.'
li'low this, in two spandrels, are angels in
adoration swinging centers and above the
figures in tho upper spandrel of the gable is
a group of seraphim, introduced in illustra
tion of the prase of the Te Deura, "To thee
cherubim and seraphim continually do cry,"
The inscription, carved In ancient Q.ithlc

Testing a Ruilroad UraKe,
Dom Pedro, Emperor of Ilrazil, who vis
ited Dehigh University and the iron works
while journeying' in this country severa
years ago, has, according to the llethleheml
Times, some original and very eilnctive ways
of doing things. Wishing pt test a railroad
brake of which he had heard a great deal, he
ha J tro appliance adjusted to bis locomo
tive and cars and the engineer instructed
how lo use it. Then ho embarked on board
his train and started upon an excursion. At
a dangerous poiut in the road, the engineer,
whoso train was runuipg at the rate of thir
ty two miles an huur, saw what was appa
rently an immense 10 k a lew hundred yards
ahead. He put he brakes down with a
vigor which may bo conceived, succeeding
in a're-ting the train before it came in col
lision with the obstacle. This, however,
when closely examined, proved to be a paste
board rock of Dom Pedro's own contrivance.

The Paris correspondent of tho l.omim
Standard writes: Much as tho marriage of
the Ozar has been talked of abroad, says n
St. Petersburg letter, not a word has ap
peared on the subject in tho newspapers o
that city. Tho ceremony, I am Inlormed,
took place on July 19, (old style), that Is on
July 31, (new style), of thn present year in
the chapel of tho palace. Tho various mem
bers of the Imperial family, although they
had long been warned of the probability of
tho event, expressed by their conduct their
strong disappioval and displeasure at the
marriage. Hence it was that nt the time ot
the performance tho Ozircwltch retired from
tlio capital to Hnpsal, on tlio Esthonlati
coast, whllo tho Grand Dukes Constautine
nd Vladimir lied abroad, lu order to avoid
being witnesses of tho act. Tho marriage
crremony Itself was accordingly gone
through In tho greatest possible quietness
ud seclusion, the witnesses present inc'ud
ng only the Grand Duko Nicholas, the War
.Minister Mllutin nnd one or two more per
sous of the court.
At tho p'esent lime tho nowly married
couple are in Llvidia, along with their fami
ly, which even nt present is a numerous one,
the eldest sons being already youths In their
teens. The union, long foreseen, and now
at lengtn become fact, has its own peculiar
significance, and in the sequel can hardly
fail to draw after it consequences of tho most
incisive importance. As soon as tho neces
sary negotiations between the Czar and the
ret of the imperial family resnectinc the
future position of the new consort nnd the
children are completed, the marriage w
bo officially made known. Tbo princess is
to receive all tho. privileges and honorary
rights usually accorded tu one of her rank,
while tho children will bo recognized as
princts of the blood, rr.nklng sixth ill order
in tho imperial family, according to the
Czir Paul's rules,for regulating rank, bo that
they will have the imperial coat of arms
without the bearers denoting a grand duke.
The Czar, it is also stated, will appoint the
Czarewitch asco regent, and will transfer to
h s shoulders the main burden of the gov
ernment. All his strictly imperial privile
ges, however, the Emperor Alexander pro
poses to retain.
The Princess Dolgmiki, the present con
sort of the Czar, belongs to one of the oldefl
aud most aristocratic families ot Russia.
She comes from a princely stock, which is
counted among the Rurikovilihie, the de
scendants of Rurik, the Varagian, or Norse,
founder of Russia. In point of high birth,
in fact, the house to whijh tho Prinoess Do
Dologruki belongs surpasses even the race of
the Romanoff", who reigned down to Eliza
beth, aud then through Anna transferred tl o
crown to the IJolsteiu Goltron line. TLe
princess, it is whispered, though the asser
tion is denied n many quarters, Is not the
firat of her family who was on terms of spe
cial intimacy with tho Imperial house, and
more particularly with the Czar Alexander.
Her elder sister, now the wife of Gen, Al
bdniskl, the governor general of Warsaw,
many years ago, it is said, stood in tho same
relation to the present Czar as she subsc
quently occupied herself. With the youna
er sister it is probable that the imperial con
nection would have been as transient us tie
Czar's numerous earlier intimacies of a sim
liar character, except for the lact that the
acquaintance commenced at a period when
the monarch had already passed the prime
ol life, while on the princess' Bide it was Bup
ported by mental gifts and trraces of dispo
sition and characler which, not to speak of
stature, figure and other personal attractive
qualities, existed in a remarkable degree in
the younger Princess Dolgoruki.
Some fifteen years ago, when the intimacy
began to grow closer and firmer, it provoked
more and more dlspleaure and hostility ol
the late empress relaxed her opposition to a
continuance of llie connection, the chiel
reason of the change being that the itiflu
ence ot the favorite was understood to he
exerplsed in such a way that the monarch,
who by no means lacked a lur share nl tne
characteristic passionate qualities of his race,
was probably preserved thereby Irom some
thinir worse. In this conviction the deceas
ed Czarina, toward the last, not simply tol-
rated, but, it anything, ratner encouragid
and fostered the liasou. llie sovereign is
now aging, and a sudden tetmiuatton of his
lile, which might occur at any moment,
might have prevented turn giving the sane
tion of marriage to a connection to which he
was so completely dovoted. rortheasth
ma, by which the Czar has for some years
been afflicted, is growing worse; and his
general condition of body is consianlly
becoming weaker. For his new consort the
emperor has made provision in various
ways. Among other things, he has bought
for her the palace of the Grand Duchess
Uatharine at a cost ol a,0i)U,(J0O rub'es, and
it is said that he has already given it to his
'onsort. It is. however, in l.ividia that the
Czar intends to fix his permanent residence

A Monument to lloltimtius.
Recently n lot ol otd hones were found
under tho cathedral on the Island of Panto
Domingo, and tho congress having consid
ered tho proof sufficient that the remains
were those of "ze great Christofcro Colom
bo," it has been drclded to erect a monu
ment to the memory of thn great dlscoerer,
and all American governments nre solicited
to mako subscriptions thereto. This Is cer
Inlnly a good enough way for the Santo Do
mingo government to embellish Its capital
with works of art. Hut whether these are
tho ldentlcalbones of Christopher Columbus
or whether or tot the bonesof any one
would survive four hundred years without
being resolved into their Matlvo dust, are
questions which will naturally provuko dis
cussion. The American continent with Us
teeming millions ; its busy hives of industry
and lis tnagnlficant public improvements
its wealth and its culture; its liberty regu
lated by law and its glorious possibilities of
fnture development, is a far grander monu
ment to tho genius and heroism of Colum
bus than any that can bo reared by human
hands. This proposition of tho Santo Do
mingo government sounds very much like
the suggestion of Mark Twain to erect a
monument ofotir great progeuitor Adam at
Elmlra, New York.
