Another wronged and betrayed
wife has gone to the lunatic asylum
in Virginia. She looked through her
husbands dry goods shop window
one night, and saw the wretch ia the
very act of adjusting shawl around
the dropping form of another woman.
Stung to madness at the sight, the
injured wife drew a revolver she had
just purch ased for a plaything for
her baby, and sent bullet crashing
through the window and into t'other
woman's anatomy. Hurrying in to
confront the guilty couple, after this
sudden and violent emotion, she
found that the wretched creature

A STREET ARAB.
BY N. G. SHEPHERD.

Ragged the trowsers and Jacket he wears,
Ragged the shoes on his feet;
For shoe or Jacket little he cares,
This Arab of the street,
'Pitching pennies" here in the Park
Along with noisy crowd,
All of them raggid and dirty, like him,
Wrangling and shouting aloud.
Iwonder whether he has home,
This ragged urch'n, and how
He earns the coppers he's tossing there,
With those other Arabs now;
If mother or brother or sister has he,
If ever father he knew;
Ifhe sleeps in a bed like you and me,
And eats as the rest of US do!
ScarceIT human he seems, somehow,
With his semi-savage shout,
As he gives eacS nickel curious toss,
And capers Wide-V aoEut.
Yet the same God mae him that made us all,
The God that dwells Above
Who watches even the sparrow's iall,
In the fulness of his love.
All at once as twelve o'clock draws near,
Our Arab leaves his play,
Gather what nickels are his,
And suddenly darts away.
\ moment more and his shrill voice sounds
Shouting the news in the street,
With fifty more, like pack OF hounds
Following close at his feet.
In and out ofthe cars he springs,
He heeds neither hoofs nor wheels;
His ragged feet seem gifted with wings,
Like famous Mercury's heels;
Now he stops moment paper to sell
To some one passing by,
Then away he goes on rapid run,
With wild halloo and cry.
High up past the dizzy roofs his voice
Assends on it's skyward way;
A moving shadow he moves along
In the garish light of day,
'Twixt the rows Of buildings on either side
With their windows, staring down
Like so many giants, Argus eyed,
Sleeplessly watching the town.
wonder if ever in thought he sees
The rows of buildings fade,
If ever in fancy he conjures up
I he desert without shade?
If ever winding before his sight,
Long caravans appear,
If the Beduion chief of the sands he sees
In himself and these others here!
For to me today as l stand in the Park,
Watching them here at their play,
Like bright mirage, in the distance seen,
Seem the buildings on Broadway:
And l almost forget that this half tanned boy,
With the ragged shoes on his feet,
Is not the scheirk of some wandering tribe,
But an Arab of the street

ANIowA POLITICAL REMINIs SCIENCE.

The Cedar Rapids Observer tells
the following story of the times when
there were Democrats in Iowa to an
extent and number worth TALKING
about
Talking with J. III. Bacon of
W Washington, the other evening. he
told us story of the State campaign
OF 1859, which we reproduce for the
benefit of our readers.
AT the time of the occurrence. the
canvass for Governor was in progress,
Ex-Governor Sam. Kirkwood and
Gen. A. c. Dodge being the Repub-
lican and Democratic candidates re-
spectively. From his plain dress and
manners, kirkwood was known as
the farmers candidate, while Gen.
Dodge, naturally inclined to broad
cloth and clean linen, and besides.
just returned from four years resi-.
dence at Madrid as Minister to Spain.
was as striking a contrast as could
be imagined. On the day alluded to.
both gentlemen were to speak in Fair.
field, where lived our friend Bacon.
at that time an ardent Democrat.
The candidates were coming from
Slgourney, and it occurred to Bacon,
who owned several fine horses. that
1T would be good idea to 90 ont
with four-horse rig, and escort Gen
Dodge into town with something
like ecldt. ~
Accordingly he went cut, his horses
gaily caparisoned, the vehicle trim
med with flags, and band of music
attending. A mile or so out of town
he halted, waiting the arrival of Gen.
Dodge.
Before long, he saw coming from
the town a wagon with hay-rack ON
it, drawn by two yoke of cattle. and
mounted by several well known Re-
publicans. Bringing their team into
position alongside of B., they inquir-
ed who he was waiting for. "The
next Governor of Iowa, A. G. DODGE
responded John. "Just our fix" was
the reply of the ox-team driver, Con
ly the man Is S. j. Kirkwood."
kIrkwood appeared first, and was
carried triumphantly into town, sit.
ting on hay-cart drawn by two
yoke of oxen, trick which told inn
mensely for the farmers candidate
and, said John H., when 1 came in
afterwards in fine style, with Gen. A.
Y. Dodge in the carriage, the excite
ment was over, the thing fell fat, and
l never got a cheer, even from my
own party Such was one of the
many amusing incidents of the days
when parties were more evenly bal
anced, and when the excitement oon-
tinued until election time.

UHaHcery Court.

The Chancery Court is still in ses-
sion, though very little can now be
done, in consequence of the Circuit
Court being also in session. Last week
the case Of Judge kENSEDY's will
was before the Chancery Court, L. C..
DuSHINGToN presiding in the place OF
Chancellor FLEMING, who was incom-
petent, by reason Of his having writ
ten the will. The opinion We under
stand, was a very able and elaborate
one, giving that construction to the
&c lator's will, which secures 10 the
Presbyterian Church of the South,
some $1,000, as We arc informed.
An appeal was taken from the decis-
ion to the Supreme Court.

The people of the Judicial Circuit
and Chancery Division in which VIC
live have every reason to feel proud Of
their civil officers. Chancellor FLEM-
ING, Judge MARTIN, and Attorney
General RUSSELL, are eliciting praise
from all tongues, and especially those
most capable of judging their merits,
for their impartiaity, ability, indus
try, and gentlemanly demeanor. The
Giles Press thus speaks of Judge
MARTIN and Capt. FUssELL: sa
''This is the first court Judge Mar
tin has held at this place since the

Federal authorities removed him for

BEFORE the late "war between the
States,' country newspapers were ed
tied by politicians. The local news
ofthese papers generally consisted of
one OF two puffs Of advertisers or of
books. The editorial page contained
long paragraphs, original articles,
on political subjects. The outside
pages were made up of patent medi-
cine advertisements, and political cx-
tracts from the leading papers, or
speeches of the prominent statesmen
of the party to which the local
sheet happened TO belong. The news
of the county was almost ignored,
and the various social and industrial
interests ofthe people found 10 advo-
cate in its columns. But happily, a
change has come over the spirit of the
country press. The various new
journals recently started in towns in
Middle and West Tennessee, are COLI
Quoted by men who, instead of hav-
ing been all their lives identified with
politics, have devoted THAR youth to
the study of a profession. Their edi-
torials eyince literary polish and
culture very inviting, while in poll
tics they are independent without be-
ing neutral. But the main feature to
be commended in these journals, is
their local department.. Among
these papers we will mention the
Williamson Journal, Franklin Re
ricr, the Giles Press, and the
Brownsville States with the cxcep-
ton of local news. The Giles Press
has but recently begun its career. 1t

Tnr Clarksvillc Tobacco Lcgy
wishes us 50 say something about
proposed Railroad from Chicago TO
the Gulf, which is 10 pass through
Clarksrille and Columbia. We have
long felt the need of such road, and
at one time wrote an article in advo-
cacy of a line from this point to Co.
lumbus, NY. At some distanr day
VIC have no doubt that some such
road will be built, because the inter
est of large section of country de-
mand il, and because such road will
prove financial success. But how
can we hope for such road TO be
built now? The State refuses TO give
any more aid 10 such enterprises,
and the impoverished condition
of the people, and tho pro-
verbal timidity of the few capitalists,
present almost as inscparablc a bar
ricr to building it by private subscrip-
ton. The capitalists of the North
will be scared away doubtless, by the
fearful condition of Tennessee Rail-
roads, although tlley need not be.
The reason why Railroads do not pay
is that there are so few Of them.
There would be no large wholesale
houses OF merchandise in the cities, if
there were no small retail stores
throughout the surrounding country.
Neither can one railroad pay. There
must be other roads tapping aud feed
ing it at every point. The proposed
Road would run througha rich and

it is impossible TO correctly estimate
