"No hope?"
 "None at all, my dear sir. am compel led to tell you that your child will never be- hold the sunset"
 The proud, stern man turned away, hid his face in his hands, and groaned heavily.
 The sunshine futtered and fitted like the sweet, tremulous dreams of youth, all about the lofty chamber in which that fair child lay dying, smitten suddenly by fever, which had drunk the springs of her young life, and kindled her pulses with fires that death only could quench.
 "Papa, papa" the voice came up faint and eager from the parched, pallid lips, and the old man went to the bedside, and leaned tenderly over the white, ghastly face, which wore that look which faces only wear over which the grass will grow in a little while. "What is it, my precious child?n Papa, heard what the doctor said, and now am going away from you so soon, you will let me see him just once more before tdie:"

New York officers in Trouble

New YORK. July l1-Between twelve and
one o'clock, to-day, ex-councilmau Kerriran-
now clerk OF the Essex market police court
encountered alderman Genet in the Park,
northeast of the City Hall, and drew pistol
upon him. The alderman rushed behind a
tree while the other parties drew Kerripan
away-enabliug Genet to escape. ,kerrigan
had previously given notice of his intention to
shoot Genet, who with Il councilman is said to
have induced a sister Of Kerrigan and another
lady to take sail in yacht in East River and
attempted violence near Randall's Island
They did not succeed, and the loud screams of
the ladies attracted attention and they landed
them and sailed rapidly away. The other Of
hclal Is rum0red to have attempted interces-
sion Friends are pleading an excuse Of in
toxication. A bloody sequel to this affair is
anticipated
The following is the case above referred to
as reported in the New York Times of the
l0th.l
OUTRAGE BY CITY OFFIcIALs.-Great in
terest is felt in certain circles as to the upshot
of a difficulty which threatens very serious re-
suits. On the evening of the 9th inst, two
men, prominently connected with the city
government, accompanied by third man, Ill
vited two ladies of good character and repute
to take sail in small yacht owned by one of
the city government officials, The invitation
was accepted without fear, and the party start
ed for a cruise but it would seem that the
two officials entertained designs of an improp.
er character against the ladies; al about
O'Clock that night-the yacht being opposite
Randall's Isand-lOud screams were heard
proceeding from on board of her, and finally
the two ladies were put ashore on the Island
the yacht sailing rapidly away The brother
of one of these ladies has taken up the cause
of his sister, and declares his resolve to be re.
Venged. AS he is a very resolute, fiery, and in
flexible character, already well known in the
city in political circles, this threat is likely to
be executed and he has served notice on
both the parties engaged in the outrage to
walk abroad armed, as he will ''shoot on
sight The third man on board the yacht
would seem to have been a sailor, who took
no part in the attempt. The brother, meeting
one of the unmanly assailants, yesterday or
the day before at once drew his pistol and
asked if his antagonist was armed, as he
wished 10 "take no unfair advantage of him.'
The threatened man, replying that he was un-
armed, was then cautioned for the future to
carry weapons, as the brother of the assalled
lady would fire at him whenever they should
next meet and without further notice The
other city official fled the city on the morning
after the attempted outrage, and did not return
until yesterday. He has been sending troops
of friends to intercede for him with the broth
er-plaading that intOXicatiOn was the cause
of the attempted villainy, and expressing the
utmost regret.

How Mr.. BUCHANAN WAS MANAGED
One Of the weaknesses of the old gentleman is
great sense of his dignity and the rights of
his position, Recently Congress made it the
duty of the president to locate something, we
forget what, where he might judge most
proper. A gentleman was anxious to have it
ia particular place of two which had been
proposed, and he accordingly goes to Mr.. Blu
chanan and tells him that he must have it at
the other place-any man of sense might see
that it was the only suitable place. Not quite
liking such tone with himself, the president
dismissed him quite summarily. Soon after
another gentleman called sent by the first,
and stated that it had been rumored that some
persons were interested in particular location
and stated that they should have no difficulty
in inducing the president to do as they wish
ed. Mr.. Buchanan was quite aroused. Con
gress, he said, had given the location to him,
and he should not be dictated to by any one,
and it should be in the other place he was
not to be trifled with And they managed to
have the very place they wished selected.
