a LITTLE GIRL Of Kentucky, at board
ing school, responded as follows to note
from her father announcing en- interesting
event in the family:
"MY DEAR PAP: was right glad to
hear from you, aud that you were well but
| did not like it bit to hear that mother
had baby, because it was boy. should
be glad if it were little girl, but I hate
boys-they are not nice. Now | am going
to tell you what want you to name him.
| am going to choose homoy name, be-
cause | don't think boys ought to have
pretty names Boys are squaing all tho
time. You don't have one minutes peace
while there is boy baby in the house but
a girl baby is good thing to have in tho
house, for it never cries. Name him Yuba
Dam; that's good enough for Il boy. You
must excuse me for writing so much about
boys the reason | wrote so much about
boys is because | don't like boys. My love

TO NlY MOTHER.

They tell me human love was made
Awhile to bloom, and then to fade
Before the Autumn chill
They tell me human love is sold
y thing of traffic, bought with gold.
And Inject to the will.
No falsehood this aud yet I own
There is love, one love alone,
With ustre ever bright.
1t runs through all my changing years,
FoIsnkes me not in smiles aud tears,
And fills my soul with light.
That love beyond all other love,
CnSc.iish pure as heaven above,
Is IL Inc. dear mother, thine.
What, then, if clouds around ue break
The tount Of joy they cannot take
From out this heart of mine.
Earth's merry throng may pass me by:
Its honors from my grasp may fly,
As sleaves upon the blast:
care not if thou low st me still;
Thy love alone my heart can fill,
And hold it to the last.
I'll love thee till my latest breath;
I'll love thee when I'm claspcd in death
I'll love thee still on high,
While on my tide of life shall flow,
My love for thee no end shall know
Twill never, never die.

valley on each side of it, one hot and one

with double.barreled gun, and you can,
without movin', kill either summer or win.

"What! have you ever tried it?"

A Negro Attempts 10 Outrage two
While Girls.

Shortly afternoon yesterday, rs a young
girl, named Kate Gillespie, was walking
down Clark street, in the Eighth ward. ear
rying on her arm basket, she was stopped
at the corner Of Townsend street by middle
aged negro, who assaulted and attempted
to outrage her. She screamed loudly and
the licnd released her without accomplishing
his base designs. lie hurricdly walked
away and by the time assistance arrived he
was nowhere to be seen. Officer Patrick
Finn, being informed of the negroes action
and being furnished with description, i'm
mediatey started in pursuit of the offender.
The negro after leaving the girl Gillespie,
it appears, wendcd his way up Clark street,
where he saw a little girl playing in a road
attached to dwelling, near Fulton street.
He asked the gil for drink and followed
her into the house, and before the child
could answer he caught and attempted to
outrage her She called for help and her
mother, who was up stairs, Immediately
ran down to her assistance, when the negro
fled. lie had not gone far from the house
until officer Finn came across. him, and he
Immediately took him into custody, and
conducted him to the lookup. The first
named girl is sixten years of age, while the
latter is but thirteen. We could not learn
the name of the second girl, but as an in
formation will probably be made against
the accused, it is likely the name will then
be learned. The negro, whose name is
jackson johnson, does not deny that he
attempted the outrage, but on the other
hand confessed to it, aud in extcnuation of
his crime states that he was intoxicated else
he would not have committed it. The ne
gro was drunk when brought in, and his
manner after he had been placed in the cell
would lead one to suppose that he was crazy.
Whether this was real or just put on for the
occasion we are not prepared to say, but ad-
mitting that he is crazy he should be placed
out Of harms way. If he is sane, he should
receive the punishment he deserves. lie is
now in the lock up.--ITisJmy Commercial

WHO STOLE TIE PAPERS, OR BURNED
TIE RECORDS. 1t will be remembered that
when Stanton held the War Department
last spring by force and the aid of the Rad
ical Congress, it was given out that in con-
sequence Of an apprehcnded raid from
Mosby twenty wagon loads of arms and
ammunition were sent one night from the
War Department, to Virginia, across the
Long Bridge so as to be ready for Mosby.
But Mosby never appeared, and the arms
and ammunition never were heard Of
1t turns out now that all this was trick
to enable the Radicals to get away from the
War Department some twenty loads Of pa
per and records which it was necessary to
hide before Stanton gave up the Depart
ment to johnson man.
What these records and papers contained,
it is easy to guess. They were the files of
the illegal arrests and imprisonmcnts, caused
by the usurping Stanton, and also evidence
showing where, about one hundred million
dollars had been wasted and lost without
authority of law. Such is the Radical rule.
