A FACT WORTH PRINTING.

At q second-class hotel n frankfort,
KY, few days since. little girl entered
the 5ar-room, and in pitifpl tones, told
the bar-kseper that her mother had sent
her there to get eight cents.
Eight cents p said the keeper.
'Yes, sir"
"What does your mother want Of eight
cents? l don't owe her anything"
"Well," said the child, 'father spends
all his money here for run, and we haze
nothing to eat to-day. Mother wants to
buy loaf OF held."
4 loaier suggested to the bar-keeper 70
kick the brat out.
"No," said the ba--keeper, "I1l gire
her mother the money; and if her father
comes back again, I'll kick him OUT
Such circumstance never happened be-
fore, and may never happen again. HUI
manity owes that bar, keeper vote Of
thanks.

GENERAL GEARY IN CALIFORNIA.

No portion of the career OF General
Geary is more Characteristic Of the native
ability Of the man than the few years lie
spent in California, and lest the uniform
eG 81 Guild commit the error OF supposing
that his military record is his sole recon-
.Aendation as candidate, we ask attention
to the facts OF his life in the III Dorado
State 1t was upon his return from Mex
leo, and as reward for his brilliant SER
vices during the war, that he was appoint
cd by President Polk to the Office of Post
master Of San Francisco, in the year1 1910,
when the rush OF gold hunters had made
that city wonderful emporium. Things
were in such a chaotic condition that the
President empowered General Gcary to
establish post Offices and appoint post mas
ters all over the territory, to create mail
routes, and contract fol carrying tie mails
In fact the entire postal service in Cali
fornia was given in his charge, and he was
sort of sub Postmaster General for the
Pacific colonies. In pursuance of this he
organized the mail service on the coast
and carried to the new regions of the in
terror the blessings Of regular commun;-
cation with :he rest of the world
Ii was on the 22d of January, 1S49,
that he was appointed to this office, and
SO influential did he at once become in
California, that when in the ensuing
August, the municipal election in San
francisco took place, he was elected with
out opposition First Alcade, the chief of
fee OF the city, Notwithstanding that there
was an animated contest, and ten different
tickets for the other Offices.
1t is difficult at this day to appreciate
the formidable task thus assigned to Gen.
Geary. Few can nov be made to under
stand the condition of city whose only
system of law was Spanish and colonial,
aud whose population, gathered as By a
whirlwind from all the ends OF the earth,
comprised so much Of the very dregs Of
society. But General Geary, with his ac-
custonled euergy, attempted this underta-
king boldly. He raised police force, iu
fused American principles into the NUM-
cipal system, introduced the commoa law,
and, as judge, tried over twenty-five

THE BLUE BIRD.

AA'L INV biub
Bonny blue bird, sing your sweetest,
For my heart is filed with grief,
Sing to soothe my weary sorrow,
Sing that l may :. nd relief.
Tell me, bright and warbling minstrel,
All the winter, cold and long.
Who hast watched thee, fed thee, lov.d the,
Who hast listened to thy song?
Hast thou been where Mississippi
Sends its deep and rushing tide,
Where the broad and wild Savannah
Floweth on in stately pride
Hast thou been where South Carolina
Rears its green and tassled pine,
Or among the may forests
Where the lone star of Texas shin es ?
Hast thou seen our Union army,
Men of courage, dauntless, brave,
Who left their free wild norihland,
Some to find a southern grave?
Were they well and were they happy,
Strong OF heart and strong of hand,
Or had sickness. dark and dreful,
Swept across that stricken band?
Did they send no love greeting,
Or n message full of cheer,
From their camps in sunny southland,
To the loved and living here
Hast thou e'er in rebel cities
Stopt to rest thy weary wings:
Hast thou sung a song of freedom
Where the dust of treason elm =?
Hast thou seen the rebel armies,
Naughty sons Of southern pride
We're they men of fearless courage,
Like our soldiers trLc anu tried:
Would that | could learn the language
Which the birds alone can know;
Then with anxious heart I'd listen
For the notes so soft and low.
