VIENNA AND FALLS CHuRCH.-A letter

fax County, says
Falls Church, a small village among the
little hills and moderate hol!ows. looked pref

ito put on airs - shows enterprise and i'm
proyement, whilst its apple and peach orchards
are especially noticeable. Vienna, too, seems
to be brushing up" 1t is pleasantly located,

Sp1TE.-The New York Sun, Charles A.
Daaa's paper, abuses the authorities OF the
Theological Seminary near Alexandria, roundiy
Tor asking rent for the use Of its buildings by
the government during the war. Il says the
students and professors We're all rebels, and
Instead of asking for anything, ought. to be
made to pay for repairs. The bill, il adds,
should be hooted from the Senate.
This is very s%pitcful. AS 10 !he professors
and students being all ''rebsls,' that admits OF
much doubt indeed, is not 50. Certainly, rs
has been facetiously observed, They were not
so much so, us to hurt then" But that is
not the question. IF, however, the "huc and
cry" of ''rcbels" is to be raised to defeat \
just claim, which tho Government ought to
pay, there is no use III arguing the question.

HEARTLEss DEsERTIoN.- Comp plant was lods-
ed at the Mayors Office this morning against d
colored woman named Mary Jane Harris, who
had eruellydeserted her two infant children with
the Intention it was supposed, of starving them
to death. The children aged about nine and
eighteen months old, were found in an upper
room of a house at the end of what is known
a. 'Piper's Cove" in "Petsrsburg," in an
emaciated and filthy condition, wrapped up in
a old worn out blanket, and lying on a floor
the boards Of which were an inch apart from
each other. The colored family occupying the
lower floor aud the Society OF St. Finceat d.
Paul have been furnishing the children with
to5d for some time past, but it was stated
that the mother VISITED them every night and
carried off with her every thing she could fnd
to eat.

PhilotkSnS oyercomcs all Mr.. AmlSblo'S OBJ
jectlous, and finally succeeds in carrying of
his name and tribute to the amount Of $40.
A mere tribe, says Phllomena, for so high
an official.
Philomena writes now and then for the
Sunday papers. It Is "horrid drudgery,"
she says, and they only pay her dollar a
column. These starvation prices she de-
clares enough to send young and uupro-
tected female to destruction. have more
than once thought dollar a column more
than Philomena's efforts in the Sunday
papers worth. I, however, confess not to
be good judge Of tho value Of such
writing.
Miss Phllomena Is an excellent judge Of
mankind, and knows exactly how 10 bring
a Congressman down, using the artillery Of
her eyes. She writes the most dulcet letters
TO gentlemen Of reputed wealth aud gal
lantry, requesting an interview at some Ap-
pointed place. There Is a dash Of mystery
In PhllomenA's notOs, which eEcltes the
curiosity OF the gallant gentleman. She Is
sure to effect the desired interview, at which
she presents herself fortified with n double
veil. Phllomena has dozen apologies to
offer for meeting gentlemen at such places,
and opens the budget OF her distresses. She
took advantage of the gcntlOman's we'll
known llberallty, she says, TO request an iu-
terVlew, the object Of which Is 10 solicit his
aid In getting up the testimonial her friends
have designed. The gentleman expected a
very different meeting with a very different
object. He is surprised and disappointed at
tho turn Affairs have taken, and begins 10
wish himself at home In the bosom OF his
family. 81 have heard, cir" says Phllo-
mena, chow ready you were to assist fc-
male in distress, and knowing your great
wealth, thought you would like to assist
my friends with your name and triae-say
one hundred dollars" Hero PhIlomcna
raises her second veil.
Tho gentleman is porplcEed at finding
himself In public saloon, known to seven
tenths Of the visitors, and with lady, under
suspicious circumstances. He makes varl.
Gus apologies, none Of which Philomcna
seems inclined to accept. The tribe she re.
quIres would not be felt by the gentleman,
considering his great wealth. and then there
are the names Of wilkins, jenkins, Herman
and Perkins, all friends Of his. His namO
will remove tho great mountaln of all her
troubles, and set her firmly on her literary
feet. This ia punishment tho gentleman
did not oIpecti but sho makes breach In
the fortress OF his Sympathles, which he re-
pairs with his name and ffty dollars. Tho
gentleman Is glad to get OF at that, Is dis
appointed at the character Of the interview,
and, swearing never to be caught 10 such 4
trap again, they have cream together, and
Phllomcna disappears chueklng over her
victory.
wish Washington had an asylum, pro-
vided with swearing machines, into which
all our literary Philomcuas could retire, and
do the state some real service. A.C.F.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THR TRArBzE.-
The female trapeze performer at the Front
Street theatre, little Zoe, fell once or twice
while executing her performances last eve
ming. The FIRST time she fell Into the net
which Is spread below for the purpose, and
was not hurt, but after the net had been re-
moved, with a Wow OF closing that part Of
the performance, she ventured another trial
from q great height, sprlnging with n
sommersault and catching rope, when the
rope slipped through her hands and she fell
to the stage, striking upon her face and
knees. She was taken up and carried be-
hind the scenes, but subsequently again ap-
peared on the stage, though showing evident
marks on her face and person of injury re-
celyed. These trapeLe and kindred per-
formaueos, endangering life and limb, are
not pleasant to look upon, however aston
ishing they may be, aud should be discarded
as means of public cntertainmcnt.-Bdlu

The New MORMON MoVEltEEr.-A corrc-
spondent Of the New York Sun, writing from
Salt Lake City on the 18th instant, states
that about the Goth Of this month Brigham
Young and few Of the higher diguitaries
would leave that city on a tour South, osten-
slbly to pay a visit TO the lower settlements,
but In reality to penetrate the lower portion
OF the Territory of Arizona, bordering on the
Mexican line, and there select new place
Of rendezvous for tho gathering OF the Saints.
A soon as arrangements can be perfected,
all those who live in polygamy will BIO re-
moved from this section Of the country 10
settle In this new State Of Zion. As tho main
object of tho Cullom bill is to suppress poly
gamy, 1t will In this manner be defeated, for
when the bill is passed there will be no poly
gamy In Utah to suppress, and II Govern
ment should feel disposed to prosecute them
Ia their new abode they can quietly remove
within the Mexican lines, and then defy the
laws Of the country without fear Of moles'

WORTH READING.-We clip the following
from an exchange, and give it to our readers
because of its truthfulness. 1t is rather queer
piece of poetic prose, and yet contains more
truth than poetry. We commend 1t TO the
notice of all business mem
"When trade grew slack. and notes fell due,
the merchants face grew long and blue; his
dreams were troubled through the night with
sheriff's, bailifs, all in sight. AT last his wife
unto him said, Rise up at once, get out of
bed, and get your paper, ink and pen, and say
these words unto all men:
my goods 1 wish to sell to you, and to
your wives and daughters too my prices they
shall be so low, that each shall buy before
they 60.
HE did as his good wife advised and in the
paper advertised. Crowds came and bought
off all he had his notes were paid his dreams
were glad, and he will tell you to this day how
we'll did printer ink repay.
''He told us, with q knowing wink, how he
was saved with printers ink. :,
1.-The other in place as tight, contenteo
was the press to slight. And did not let the
people know OF what he had or where to 70.
'IIis drafts were due and were not paid a
levy on his goods asmade; tho store was
closed until the sale, and Tor some time ne was
in Jail. A bankrupt now without cent, at
leisure he can deep repent, that he was foolish
and unwise, and did not freely advertise.
