WOMAN SHoT.--Last evening, about
y o'clock, man named Wilson john
son, who keeps small grocery store at
the head of Church street, on the East
side, shot his mistress under the most
revolving circumstances. Johnson had
been sick and confined to his bed for
some time, and suspicioning the infidel
ity of the woman, he arose from his bed,
to detect proofs as strong as conviction
could make them. Enraged at his dis
grace, he fired at the gay Lothario,
missed him and struck the woman.
The shot took effect in her left eye. At
latest accounts last night before going
to press, the woman was not expected
to survive until morning. johnson was
taken into custody by Constable Bon
fant.

BABY Is KING.


a rose curtained cradle, where nestled within
Soft cambric ana flannel, lie pounds seventeen,
Is the throne Of tyrant-that pink little thing
/. an autocrat august, fer Baby is King.
Good solemn grandfather dares hardly to speak
Or walk, lest the sleeper should hear his boots ereak
Grandma IS a martyr in habits and cap,
Which the nonsrch unseytlcs as well as her nap.
Papa, wise and mighty, just home from the House,
Grows meek the threshold, and like mouse,
To stare at the bundle then outward he goes
Like elephant trying to walk on his toes.
The queen Of the ballroom throws Loyalty down
Istore him the roses she wore in her crown,
And sings little loye-songs Of whom she loves best,
The baby blossom she rocks On her breast
Gosd aunties and cousins before him bow low,
Though lie rumplo the rDgles twists collars and bow
ne bids the nurse walk with his majestys self
AFsd cries when she stops, like merciIcss elf
lie diBgs right and left his saucy, fat fist
And then ehe next moment expects to be kissed
lie demands peoples watches to batter about,
Asd meets s refusal with struggle and shout
Then, failing to conquer, with passionate cry
lie quiTers his lips, keeps tear in his eye;
And 50 wins the battle, this wise little thing,
lie knows the world over, for Baby is King.

How TIE NEGROES WORK IN TIE SOUTu.--
Calvin Fay, formerly of Buffalo, New York,
now an architect in atlanta, Georgia, writes
a private letter to Il Buffalo friend, from
which the Buffalo Courier makes the following
extract:
''But we are not so sanguine with regard TO
the most troublesome element in our population,
the negroes They are the most worthless,
lazy, filthy, thieying set Of vagabonds, that
yoa can conceive of They have been turned
loose upon US without any idea of making a
living for themselves. Their idea Of freedom
is to have plenty to eat and nothing to do
They fock to the cities where they get some
protection and assistance in stealing frem Yam
kee soldiers. | see nothing ahead for them but
determination.
Everything is going ahead here very rapid
ly, and Atlanta bids fair to be the largest city
in Georgia, unless the negro population ruins
the country. My impression, however, Is that
foreign and Northern emigration will have to
take the place OF this negro population, and
they Will be pushed back to the lower, sickIy
regions. and finally extorminated This must
be so as they a;e poor, worthless and lazy and
they are despised now by everybody, and by
all classes Their former owners have lost all
interest IN them, and they are left without pro-
lection. Poor creatures, pity them Their
friends have ruined them. They have made
them free without any preparation, and they
are untitled for anything Perhaps God will
forgive them for it,"
