DISTRESSING CAsE.-Last night, the police
OF the First Ward picked mp q poor deranxed
girl, about eighteen or nineteen years of age,
whe mas been at times roaming the streets and
commons for few months past. She gives
her name as Maggie Brown and Is as wild as
can be. Last night when put in the CELL she
stripped on all her clothing, even 10 her shoes
ana tore II into shreds. This morning she has
only an old guilt 10 keep her comfortable
The police are at a less what 70 do with her
Being Nonresident she cannot be received
INTO the Insane Asylum, and at the City Asy-
iun tnere are no conyeniences for the keeping
OF lunaiies. and there are no other places 70
winch she can be sent. II Is q great pity that
something cannot be done in the case She is
harmless. and always manifests her fits of
rage only by tearing up her clothes

DANGEROUS PRACTICAL number of young
men residing on q street, in the vicinity of the
Patent Office, have been amusing themselves
daily by shooting with a rifle and revolver
from window of their boarding house, into
the yards of the surrounding residences, at
auy object which appeared as a good 'smark +"
Yesterday, lady living on eth street, be-
tween q and II north, while engaged in plant.
ing flowers IN the yard of her residence came
very near being shot by one of these careless
young men, the ball fired from pistol pass
ing within few inches Of her head, and bury
ing itself deep into the fence. This dangerous
practice has become so frequent of late that
the residents Of the locality above mentioned
have perfect fear OF going into their yards or
gardens a. all during day time. This shoot
ing rs generally done between and O'Clock
in the morning. and and O'Clock in the af-
ternoon, before and after business hours. and
calls loud for the interference Of the police
before something serious happens.

An Apt Illustration.

Hon, A. II. Ward, of kentucky, in a
speech before Congress, narrated the follow.
Ing as an illustration of what condition tho
Southern States Would be in aiter they shall
have passed through the ''corrss Of sprouts"
prepared for them by the radical party:
There was man once came to INV noi,b.
borhood and preached what he called tho doc
trlne of restoration in reference to higher
and better world. He said that all sinners
would finally be restored to walk the streets
OF the New Jerusalem; but he said thew
would first have to so to the place of pcrdi-
ton, the pit that burns with fire and btim-
stone, and stay there until they had expinted
all their sins. An old man was present and
heard him, one who was noted morfore his
straightforward and blunt language thau'for his
Plety, gotuP and said: ''Why, brother. after
havo heen in that sulphur and fire burning LONG
enough to have my sins burned out of me.
don't you think l would be ID pretty
slnged cat to 90 to Heaven ?" TGreat laugh.
teri And that is what the gentleman Il
pleased to call perfection of the Republic.

A Pen Sketch of Gen, Grant,

A correspondent of the Tribune, who saw
General and Mrs. Grant at a reception 70.
cent? y in Washington, thus writes of them
General Grants face, immobile. heavy.
exPresslonless, lighted by no quick changes
OF the eyes, by no movement of the shut
thin lips: looks what it is-the face Of the
onl man in America, perhaps. who could
make the calculation Of the multitude Of
lives necessary to blot out a multitude ofoth-
er lives, and could work out the bloody sum
to ITS accurate, tetribls result. Never was
such ree-masonry among features. The
square, straight brow knows the meaning Of
the vary, uncbanging eyes and will not tell
1t. The eyes watch the hoavy, unquiverinp
nostrlis; the nOstriIs command the locked
mouth; when the mouth. opens the strong
chin keeps the secret Of patient brain and
tyrannous will. In undress uniform. white
gloved, and smooth hair, Gen. Grant is the
most followed and least conspicuous person
IN the room. Mrs. Grant, who wears black
velvet, IN which her beautiful shoulders and
arr1s show to advantage, is a sunny. sweet
woman too unassuming to be a mark for
criticism; too simple and kindly to make the
mistakes which invite it.
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1867-03-12

which are of great importance to the whole
people, and which must affect all parts of the
country, not only during the life of tie pres
ent generation, but for ages to come we
should remember that all men are entitled at
least to hearing in the councils which de,
eide upon the destiny of themselves ana their
children. At present ten States are denied
representation, and when the Portieth Con-
gress assemblies on the fourth day of the pres
ent month, sixteen States will be without a
voice in the House of Representatives. This
grave fact, with the important questions be-
fore u.s. should induce US to pause in course
of legislation which, looking solely to the at
tainment of political ends, fails to consider
the rights ii transgresses, the law which it
violates, Or the institution which it it1perils.
