The Cry CoUScIL.--The City Council ad-
journed last night, whilo discussing the propo-
sition to award the street cleaning contract.
The whole discussion was "fat, stale and uu-
profitable" There was but little business done;
what was done, in two instances, was recon
sidsred. All important measures, in extraordi-
nary cases only excepted, should be discussed
in committee, and after mature report further
detail would seldom be required. The bonds
Of wnter works officers were sent in, and rs.
oeired, with expectation that the reception
would be formal and then tho papers be re-
turned to tho special custody of the water
works Trustsef. First, the return was refused;
then granted. Tho subject matter Of ofamending
the Stree Railroad ordinance, so as to reduce the
width Of guage from five feet two inches to
four feet ten inches, was introduced, but was
summariIy laid on the table. We prophesy
that IL will be taken up and passed.

MAMIE AND THE MORNING GLORIEs,
BY MARY CLEMMER AMEs.

BY MARY CLEMMER AMEs.
1t makes me half child again, your laughter sweet
and wild;
Out in the dewy garden, you're picture more than
fair,
A little girl with morning glories wreathed around
her hair
Wee Mamie's mid the morning glories every summer
morn,
just as the young auroras on the rosy hill are born
Just as the clinging valley mists AERIAL wings I'M
furl,
To leave the azure ether kissing our little girl
And Mamie comes to breakfast with morning gIo-
ries crowned,
A band of purple bell-cups around her forehead
bound;
o. blossoms very beautiful your subtle spirit grace
Adds hardly to the halo of the little soul-lit face
And Mamie often says she loves the morning glory
best =.
And next the naiad lily which stars the waters
My love- of all the flowers, whose ever-Iifted eye
Looks learning toward the heaven for which
sometimes sigh.
Our lovely Morning Glory all your human fate
The storm or sunshine waiting thee, alas! we may
not see;
Yet dim as shadows in lake, half seen, we know
there lies
A wondrous world of prophecy within our darling's
eyes.
We hardly dream her budding life will fade away
too soon;
That the glory of her morning will perish ere it's
noon
She may live to love, and suffer all woman's heart
can know,
To hold flowing life-cup till she marks its faded
glow.
As sweet as gushing water, is your laughters merry
ring!
o, Mamie, darling, ere GO this simple song sing
That may link with melody picture more than
fair,
A little girl with morning gories wreathed around
her hair.
God love thee, Mamie, little one! Wherever may
go,
A rill of love within my heart for thee will ever
flow:
Christ! lead this lamb in sheltered ways safe to thy
loving fold,
And if the world is chill for her, o. take her from
its cold!

Bold, last Duke of Burgundy of the Valois
line. He lost it in one of the battles he lost to
the Swiss-Granson, we think, but are not
sure-and when he was killed, shortly after,
at Nancy, his daughter, Mary, married Maxi
milan of Austria, who became Emperor of
Germany. Louis XI. wished her to wed his
son, then boy of eight years, but she was an
impatient young woman, and naturally pre-
ferred man to boy, full grown Caesar to a
sucking Dauphin. From this marriage pro-
ceeded that mighty Austro .Burgundian dy-
nasty which at one time reigned over Spain,
Germany, the Netherlands, much of Italy, and
the Spanish Indias, and whose will was law in
Madrid, in Vienna, in Antwerp, in Mexico,
and in Lima and which, at a later day, ruled
Portugal and Brazil, and was obeyed at Goa
and at Ormuz Had Charles lived and kept
his Sancy diamond, all this could not have
been, and the rivalry between his descendants
and the successors of Louis XI either never
would have happened, or would have taken an
entirely different course. Solferino and Ma
genta were among the consequences of Morat
and Granson.-BoSton TrdUellcr.

ALLEGED MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS
Intelligence has been received by the sailing
ship John Fife, of New York, which arrived
at Greenock on Friday, of an outrage of I'M
paralleled barbarity which has been perpetra-
ted on board that vessel. From the statement
of the crew it appears that one Of their ship
mates named John Mccarthy or Macarthur,
had a quarrel with the mate shortly after the
vessel left New York, and that after that time
the latter imposed upon him the worst and
dirtiest work on board. NJ Carthy refused to
do the work. The mate complained to the
captain whose name is Pember, and suggeste
that he be put in irons. The captain and the
first and second mates went into the round,
house on deck and commenced 0put the irons
on Mccarthy. Whether there was struggle
or not we have not learned, but the captain
seized handspike and made at Mccarthy,
who is said to have defended himself in the
best way he could.
During the struggle some of the seamen in
tertered, and tried to remove the mate, who
had got Mccarthy under him. The mate,
however, drew pistol, and attempted to fire
it at one Of the seamen, but fortunately the
percussion cap failed. The captain also drew
pistol, which he presented to Mccarthy, say
ing che would do for him." and fred it imme-
dlately, the contents entering the stomach of
the poor man. He was removed from the
roundhouse to some corner of the deck, where
he lay till night, when the crew, without the
captains knowledge, placed him again in the
romdhouse, where he died, twenty-five hours
after the deed had been perpetrated The
name Of the first mate is George Bailie Alma,
and of the second mate, Philadeo Daggett
West. The vessel left the Tail of the b INK
at Greenock before the authorities could get
on board, but a special messenger was de-
spatched to Glasgow, where the vessel arrived
at two o'clock on Saturday morning. The
captain and mate were Immediately appre-
hended, and are still in custody. The case
was reported to the Sherff's Fiscal, who is
making the necessary inyestigation.-G Glasgow

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT Young Nan oUer
the Bank of the RiUer.-We regret to announce
a fatal accident, occurring through careless
ness in walking about the banks Of the river,
yesterday, while Mons De Lave was going
through with his performances on the rope.
The victim was young man named William
L. Jennison employed as a clerk in the office
and warehouse of Joshua Eaton, at Charlotte.
He came up to the city in the morning with
some companions to see De Lave walk, and
after taking dinner at a hotel and visiting sew
eral places about town, got separated from the
rest of his party and the next that is known
of his movements, he was seen near the saw
mill on the west side of the river, but back of
it and out of sight of the rope on some lumber
which is piled up loosely at the brink of the
precipice.
The ends of some of the boards project sew
eral feet beyond the bank, and Jennson step
ped on one of them which was loose. 1t tip
ped so as to throw him off his balance, and in
an instant he was precipitated over the bank
and fell to the bottom, without touching any
thing in his descent-a distance of about one
hundred teet-striking on some rocks, within
two or three feet of the water. There was no.
body near him when he lost his balance, but
the fall was witnessed by a large number Of
people who were looking out of the windows of
the cotton factory and the mills in the vicini-
ty, and also by the people on the flats and the
island below the falls.
We have conversed with several of the spec
tators, and all concur in representing the sight
as one to make the blood run cold. The poor
fellow pitched off the plank headlong, but
when about half way down turned partly over,
and landed on his back and side The noise
resembled that which would have been made
by rock of the same weight, and was heard
by some people on Falls Field
Several men and boys were on the spot
within two minutes after the accident, but
scarce sign of life was apparent about the
body.
The parents of the deceased live at Sacketts
Harbor. His father is or has been master of
vessel or steamer on the lake.-Bq6dto pa
