Parties interested have been sounding
the President on the Virginia question,
and report him as standing squarely by
what he said in his messages, viz; that the
State ought to be admitted at once. The
reasons grow stronger every day for be-
lieving, however, that she viii not get in
this month without hard struggle, if at
all. Some Of the persons who testified for
admission before the Reconstruction Com
mittee have changed their evidence while
going through the Government printing
office, so that It is now satisfactory, and
the latest advices are that majority of
the Committee viii require further pledges
from the state before reporting for ads

HoAR.
In talking about the action of the Sem

Supreme Bench, the President, in con

Senators who voted to table Mr.. Hoar's
name had, previous 20 his appointment,
assured him the President) that it was
one which would give almost universal
satisfaction. IN regard to Mr.. Hosr's
withdrawing from the Cabinet in conse-
uuence of the course of the Senate, the
President saidehe intended to be governed
entirely by Mr.. HOar's wishes, and as the
latter has already indicated his intention
ofremaining, there would be no change at
present, unless the Senate rceonsidered
their action and confirmed Mr.. HOar for
the Supreme Bench, which he hoped they
would DO, as he did not intend to with
draw his name or make any other nomi-
nation until this one was either confirmed
or rejected. Hosr, himself, in the course
Of a conversation on Tuesday, said in an

Of the origin Of some Of the noble fami-

families Of some Of the present Earls Of

ded from a skinner, a silk worker, a

from Minneapolis Tribune.

lFr0m minneapolis tribune.
We published several months since an
item setting forth that girl only eleven
years of age had become mother, in
Howard Lake Township, Wright county.
This item went the rounds of the papers,
and. was received with different degrees
of belief. We are now enabled to state
that this child-woman. with her infant,
is now in this city. We 'interviewed"
her yesterday. and found her of medium
size for her age-rather good-looking-
with light blue eyes and dark hair. She
is four feet eight and three quarter in
cbes high, and weighs eighty pounds.
The child weighed seven pounds five
ounces when it was born, on the 2Sth of
December last, and now pulls down fif:
teen pounds. 1t s'favors its mother in
its looks. and is as good looking as the
average of babies of the same age. The
real name of the mother is Penolia R.
Wilkins, and the child is to be called
May Twilight.
The father Of the child is John
Slaughter, who was boarding in the fam
lily for nearly year before the birth of
the child. He is about thirty-fye years
Of age. and has now gone to parts un-
known, having previously acknowledged
that he seduced the mother.
We forbear to state where the family
is now residing, for fear there would be
too great rush of curious visiters. We
are aware of but one similar case, which
occurred, we believe, in Tennessee,
where girl Of the same age gave birth
to child by her own grandfather, who
is now propitiatipg the offence in prison.

A Curious Legend.

When Adam was far advanced in
years and at the point of death, he sent
his son to the angel Michael, who kept
'ths gates Of paradise, to pay for the oil
of mercy. SO that he could be healed.
The angel answered that it could not
be until ffty-fve hundred years, but be
gave Seth branch of the tree of which
Adam had eaten, bidding him plant it
on Mount Lebanon, and that when it
Bore fruit his father should be healed.
Seth planted the branch on his fathers
grave ; it took root and grew, and from
it were made Aaron's rod and Moses
staff with which he struck the rock and
sweetened the waters of Marah. 1t
also formed the pole on which the bra
zen serpent was lifted, and the ark Of
the testimony. At lass it came into the
hands Of Solomon, who used it in build
ing his palace. but it continually resis.
ted the efforts of the builders to adjust
it. Now it was too long, and then
again too short. The builders, being
angry, then threw it into marsh so
that it might serve as bridge. The
queen of Sheba would not walk upon
it, and told Solomon that upon it should
be suspended the man through whose
death the kingdom should be destroyed.
Solomon then had it buried deep in
the ground, where afterward the pool
of Bethesda was dug, and from the
virtues of this tree healing properties
We're impaired to the waters. After it
had been buried three hundred years it
rose to the surface OF the water, and the
Jews took it and made it the cross of
