A Warming to Mothers.


Times innumerable have mothers been
warned about trusting their infants out
with servants of whom they know CON-
paratively nothing. Another case of
cruel treatment was before us yesterday,
on Second street, near the Methodist
church. A servant girl, apparently fif-
teen years of age, copper-color, wearing
a light dress and bareheaded, whipped a
baby severely. The little boy could not
have exceeded eighteen months of age,
light hair, fair complexion, blue eyes,
wore light loose dress, little white
straw-hat and was barefooted. The
child, it seems, did not want to walk, and
cried to be carried, whereupon she was
seen to take it up the alley and whip it
numerically. 1t occurred between the
hours of eight and nine o'clock in the
forenoon. Upon being discovered by
some of the neighbors, she ran away,
dragging the infant with her by the arm.
She was pursued, but finally succeeded
in escaping, 5o.,tial
Now, mothers, once more listen to one
who is herself mother, and do not trust
your dear little ones out with those rough
who are strangers to our
feelings,

Forthcoming Map OF the war-BOth
Sides 10 be Represented.

p Our special artist, wealthy retired
printer, is getting up a map of the war.
1t will be ready about Christmas. He
has been studying war maps until his
mind is little confused and he may
have to take trip to Europe to see
which way the rivers run; but he is not
in a hurry to start until he sees how
far the French run. He has been
whiting with a barlow knife about a
month on a piece of poplar plank try
ing to get up model, but he says the
armies won't stand still long enough to
get them In place. Several times he
has commenced cutting little sluice to
represent the river Rhine, but somehow
he always sluices down a bottle of old
Rhine before he gets through and goes
off to bed. If he perseveres through
as be has done, he will certainly finish
the Rhine--in the cellar. When the
model is made the plate will be cast at
Randel & Heaths foundry, and will be
of brass. The map will also be printed
in brass and intelligentlY explained by a
long brassy editorial, written by our his |
torical editor, who studied geography |
when boy, long hefore he was expelled |
for shooting paper wads at the old pro-
fessor's red-headed daughter He was
little mischievous and fond Of play then,
and that's the reason his early education
comes into play so well now. Our map
will be in demand. 1t will be issued as
an extra some holiday, when no otheS
paper is published, and an extraordinary
edition win be struck off. 1t will be a \
two-sided affair-one to suit our Prussian
readers and the other to represent the
advantages OF The French situation A

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

MONEY.

There is nothing of interest to report
in financial matters The market is
without snimation, the only feature
worthy of note being the continued and
seemingly pressing demand for money,
the rates for which are the same as those
given by US yesterday. City scrip and
county warrants are dull at abuut 60c
and sold by dealers at &c. Stocks and
bonds Of all descriptions are dull, and
without any material change in prices.
Tennessee money is quiet and in light
request at 20 to Tic. Dealers sell at "
to 73c. Exchange is scarce, with but lit
tie movement; rates continue firm, buy
ing at par and selling at lc premium.
Gold opened steady at llsf, and at noon
had advanced to 1854. Governments
opened with slight decline in bonds of
1881. With this exception, the opening
rates were the same as the closing rates
of yesterday. Sterling is quoted steady
at 1893, and money easy and unchanged.
Tennessee bonds opened quiet at 6Oc for
new and 62c for old. The latest quota
tons will be found in our dispatches be-
low.
