A Baby's biography.

An editor thus does up the biography
of a recent accession to his household:
We have had SO many kind friends
asking about the baby, that we thought
it necessary to biograph the chap briefly,
and somewhat after the current style Of
the day: asa
It's boy.
He's buster.
Weighs nine pounds and quarter, and
old women tell us that he will grow heay.
ier as his weight increases.
He's the first boy Of which we've ever
been proprietor,and of course is the only
baby in town.
The old women before mentioned de-
clare him the very image of his pa:
IA faithful copy of his faithful sire,
in face and gesture"
But, in justice TO the youth, we must
say we think him an improvement on the
original world of progress you know
This young American is as old as could
be expected, considering the time he wa.
born, and will doubtless be too old fol
his father in a few years, if he has good
luck.
He is quite reticent on politics, and on
ly wants to be. let alone.
he thinks he favors Mrs. Winslow'I
policy.
We haven't named him yet; we want t,
give him distinguished cognomen, bu
the fame Of our great men is at presen
so precarious that we don't like the risk
1t is perhaps unnecessary to say, as al
biographers do of distinguished persona
ges, that the subject of this sketch wa
born at an early age, Of "poor but re
spectacle parents"
Itwas Bluejazy who spoke Of his spa
ternal pa" as poor, but ION it.

The MANNER OF NEARING SHAwLs:--
The ladies have adopted what is called
the Arabian style Of wearing their shawls.
A portion of the article is drawn into
pouch between the shoulders, like the

looks as if it were thrown on with .
pitchfork To conform to the same taste

tlemen should gather the skirts Of their
coats and fasten them with a bodkin to
the waistband Of their pants. But the
ladies know that their sway is SO despotic
that the most ridiculous absurdity in cos.
tune they can assume will net diminish
their power,and they seem to adopt these
oddities to exemplify the fact.

This is the clearest exposition of
the relative rights of the President.
OF the people and of Congress, that
we have seen. 1t is worthy of a Judge
OF the Supreme Court We commend
1t to the careful attention of the in
telligent. AS to the Convention.
Judge Curtis says:
''I look to this Convention with
hope that it will do much to help on
ward this instructive desire of the
people Of the United States for union
and harmony and peace That it will
assert, strongly and clearly, those
principles which are the foundations
OF our Government; that it will exl,i-
blt the connection between their vio-
iatlon and the present distracted con-
d1tlon of our country; that it will
rebuke the violence of party spirit.
and especially of that spirit of hatred
which is as inconsistent with the true
love OF our country as it is with the
true love of our brethren; and that it

OF the United States that they must
act soon, in the wisest way, or suffer
evils which they and their posterity
will long deDlorc.''

The Slnndercr.

We have already noticed the series
of school-books about to be publish
ed, whose authors are the professors
In the Virginia University. In rela-
ton to these works, the slanderer For
ney writes in his paper as follows:
''We learn from good authority
that the University of Virginia is en-
gagged in the intellectual labor of pre-
pairing new series of school books
for Southern children, in which the
virtues OF the Confederate cause,
its soldiers, statesmen, &c., are to
be duly celebrated and exemplifed.
This is my policy in the rudi-
ments'
To which the Richmond Dispatch
promptly and emphatically replies:
CHOW, MIR. Forney, VIC defy you to
name your good authority for any
such statement We pronounce your
assertion lie, and demand the
proof: Not only is it lie, but a
malicious, wilful, premeditated lie.
No one ever told you SO. On the
contrary, you can read in the Dispatch
every day what you did read, and
converted into lie-the declaration
OF Professor Holmes that III his his
tory, mo discussion of measures, of
the character and consequences of
events, or of the conduct of public
men, will appear
1t does seem that nothing however
commendable in itself, being South
ern in its complexion or nature, can
escape the foul slime of this SANDER
er's pen. He is making record Of
infamy, only surpassed in moral tur-
pitude by that of Brownlow. The
Dispatch has answered him well.

A Step la the Right Direction.

Our readers will have observed, in
our issue of yesterday, n notice sign
ed by W. B. Nash, president of an
association of the coIored people of
Columbia, in which the members of
that association, or Council" have
resolved to take the necessary steps
to detect and bring to justice all Of
tenders against the laws among their
people.
This is truly o step in the right di-
rection, and the members of the
Council deserve great credit for taking
this matter in hand as they have
] done, and We sincerely hope they
will be successful in bringing every
offender before the proper tribunals.
If the fmembers will go zealously to
work, they will do more good to stop
and prevent crime and misdemeanor
than any other agency we know of
would be able to do. For their own
reputation and for the peace and well
fare of the community, we trust they
will be vigilant, prompt and active in
this righteous, self-imposed duty.
We commend this example to the
colored people in every locally. They
have their share in the duty of pre-
serving order to perform, and their
own happiness and welfare, rs well
as that of those around them, depend
very much on the suppression of dis
order and vice. It will be seen that
the action of the association has very
properly received the appreciation
and sanction of the officer of the
Freedmen's Bureau at this point, and
also of the Mayor of the city.

Copy of Cen. sheridan,s Order.

New ORLEANS. July 20.-For some
time past, the different rebel military
organizations which existed during
the war have held both secret and
public meetings, and perfected 4 re-
organization of regiments, brigades,
divisions and batteries. 1t is claimed
ostensibly for charitable purposes,
and to erect q monument to Confedc-
rate dead. The following important
order just issued by Gen. Sheridan
explains itself

Gene,M Order No. II.
First. Notification is hereby given
for the Information of all concerned,
that no monument intended to com
memorate the late rebellion will be
permitted to be erected within limits
Of the military division of the Gulf.
Second. All rc-organizations of
Confederate companies, batteries, re-
giments, brigades or divisions, within
the limits of this division, for what
soever purposes, are hereby dissolved,
and the maintenance of such organi-
zation, either in public or private
manner, is prohibited.
Third. Department commanders

GEORGE LEE, A. A. G.
Some hundreds of Union men have
lately received written notices, sup
posed to come from secret rebel So
cieties, informing them that they
must leave the city, or they will be
assassinated. General Sheridan has
been applied to for protection.
The above is special despatch to
the New York Tribune. The last
paragraph is unqnestionably one ol
the 1ribmae's usual canards lias
hes-when the Southern people are
concerned.
