MAYORS CoURT-FRIDAY.-Jack Thomas,
colored, charged with assaulting and beat
ing his wife, Jane Thomas, was called up.
Jane stated that Jack had "ruled the
roost" for some time, and had been acting
as her lord in such rough manner that
she determined "dat stop was to be put
to it. So one warm day, my Lord Jack,
while dumping scuttle of coal into the
fire, was thus accosted by his Lady Jane :
"See here, Jack, what you doin' done
stood your foolishness long enough, and /
gwine put stop to it," "Well, madam" I"
said Jack, "don't you like it" "No!"
said his spouse, 81 don't; and what's
more, Pm goin' to stop it," Jack gave her
slap to remind her that she was getting a
little too independent, and Jane had him
arrested. Jack was discharged, in the face
of evidence proving his general good and
peaceable character.
William Mayo, colored, was arraigned
on the charge of being the father of bas-
tard child of Elizabeth Brooks, colored.
His Honor, not being satisfied as to the ex-
tent of his jurisdiction, consulted General
Brown, and by his advice sent the parties
to him for examination.

The most pleasant entertainments Of the
Ellinger s. Foote Combination are well
attended each night, and we feel assured
that as soon as the character Of the per-
formances are generally known, the thea
tire will be well crowded each night.
There is no humbug about this company.
Commodore Foote and sister are undoubt-
edly the smallest full-grown people in
the world; and even if they were not,
their intelligence is astonishing. Thete
will be a matinee this afternoon for the
young people, and the programme will be
arranged for their especial benefit.

BABY's STOCKINGS.
Lady mothers,
In your wand rings +.
Through your own home bower,
Have you seen some little stockings
Lying In a drawer,
Or upon the floor or chair
Stockings anywhere?
Our dear baby,
Darling Louis,
With his rosy feet
Tangled in amid our heart-strings,
Making life complete,
Loses stockings everywhere,
Over hall and stair.
Elfish Louis,
Little beauty,
With his earnest eyes,
Plucking flowers from the carpet
In bright surprise,
Flinging shouts upon the air,
Leaves his stockings everywhere.
o, the darling,
With his fingers,
Rosy as his toes,
Tugging at the faithless shoe-string,
Laughing as he goes.
Stripping both the dainties bare,
Feayeths steckings there.
Rpting Jewels
'MM the dew drops,
Nesting in the grass,
Moving with his little singing,
Ali the birdS that pass
Springing up without care,
Leaves his stockings there.
Round the corner,
At the window,
With his happy face
Sobered someti times TO n dreaming,
Oftener dimpes race,
TeaZing rs he only dare,
Leaves his stockings there.
Little stockings,
Scarcely crumpled
'TwiXt the foot and flower,
Clingng round the fairy ankle
Only half the hour;
Pillowing there his little head,
Leaves them in his bed.
So we wander
All the daytime,
With n searching look,
Drawing forth the tiny treasure
From each coZy nook
Here stray one, there a pair
Stockings everywhere.

The VISITING FIREMEN.-The notice in
the newspapers of the intended visit of the
Washington Fire Company of Wilmington,
DEL, seems to suggest some sort of enter
tainment at the cost Of the fire department
of this. city. We are requested by the
board of control to state, that while they
feel every disposition to extend every cour-
tesy to their brethren of Wilmington, they
feel themselves forbidden by the known
circumstances of our firemen generally, as
well as by the recent action of the Council
diminishing their pay, from making any,
even the smallest, pecuniary demand upon
the members of the department. They
will, however, show the visitors every civil
ity. and kindly attention within their power,

A Compliment to Yankees as Seamen.

''The individul energy, industry, and en-
terprise of this remarkable race is equally
astonishing. They construct the longest
railroads, dig the deepest canals, and build
the finest ships Of any people in the world
