squaws own young one, that she laughed
and cried together, and the young sdnaw

teeth, and glinted their black ewes. and
said, "Plenty get well, sl5eena mowftch. .

her joy. And then she found that tbev
had been gathering berries on the marsh
In their queer, conical baskets, and saw the
skirt of her gown fluttering on the tree
from afar, and the old squaw couldn't re-
slst the temptation of procuring a new
garment, and came down and discovered
the wagee" woman and child. And of
course she gave the garment to the old
squaW, as you tfiay imagine, and when he
came at last, and rushed up to her, look

ans at Utopia, and knew by the signs that
the poor woman was his wife. And at
the next high tide he towed the tree
away back home, although itwasn't worth
the trouble, and built another house, using
the old tree for the foundation and props,

Not much, perhaps, considering the
malevolent capacity of the Dedlow Marsh.
But you must tramp over it at low water,

A dispatch from Rochester, N. Y, on

Mr.. Sauvieret, colored Sheriff at New
Orleans, has been awarded by Judge

Hon. Sharon Tyndale, ex,Secretary of
the State of Illinois, was murdered on the
night of the 2Sth ult., at Springfield, Ill.
He had started in the night from his home
for the depot to take the train for st. Louis,
and his lifeless body was found the next
morning, only few rods from his resi-
dence. His death was caused by pistol
wound in his head just behind the ear.
Bruises, probably inflicted with club, were
on his forehead and face. 1t was thought
from the evidence before the Coroner's
jury that some unknown parties must have
been aware of Mr.. Tyndale's intention of
taking the morning train south, and
thinking, doubtless, that he had a large
sum Of money on his person, determined
to possess 1t, even by bloody murder, il

displacement of feature from mere inno-
cent lntentness. Especially where the
mlna guides the hand, we may almost see
Pullles at work as in Sam Weller writing
MS letter. Clenched teeth, lips drawn
INTO line, receding chin, all betoken fixed
denomination to compass the matter i'm
nand. The features in ungainly panto.
mime picture forth the inner struggle till
we learn to undervalue result bought at
such cost and pains, and to justify the
seeming untairness which prefers "felici.
ties e" to the achievements of industry.
for they seem gifts while the others seem
pennyworths," and often dear at the
money.
Plalnness is misfortune so much aR-
gravated by mismanagement, and to be re-
deemed and rendered tolerable by iudicious
treatment, that the consciousness of IL
should make no one unhappy. The
ugliest of men boasted that he was only
five minutes behind the handsomest in the
favor of the ladies. This may be true
where wit is thrown into the scale. But
the plain man is also more bound to the
proprieties and scruples of the toilet than
his well-favored brother. Old clothes and
the suspicion of soil tell ON him with a
damning effect, and yet this care must
never merge into foppery. If he hits the
golden mean his reward will come late but
surely. AT sixty or sixty-five he will be
better worth looking at be a pleasanteI
object for the eye to rest on, be welcomed
with sweeter smiles, than the sloyen of
the same years, whatever his natural ad-
vantages And age brings to many a
temptation to slovenliness. No one can
pretend that plainness is no trial to
woman therefore we ought the more to
honor the plain woman who, hopeless of
admiration, yet applies all the innocent
arts of nicely, taste and feminine TACT to
set off homely features to the best advan-
tage, and to produce tout ensemble not
conspicuously unlovely. Fortunately, it is
a point on which an unlimited amount of
selfdeception is possible, for there is
charm wholly independent of regularity
and color, and no woman can be sure that
she has no faint air or shadowy touch of
such fascination. After course of mod
ern fiction we are quite ready to agree with
the old writer, who, tired of the airs and
exactions of the pretty fellows and pro-
fessed beauties Of his day, resolves for the
future to confine himself to the society of
cheerful ugly creatures, as being much
pleasanter company.-LOndO@ Saturday

An AstOnished Conductor.

"Get aboard, old limpey," said a pert
railroad conductor to an aged, plainly
dressed lame man, standing on the plat
form, waiting for the signal to depart /;
"get aboard, old limpey, or you'll get
left" At the signal, the old gentleman
quietly stepped aboard and took seat by
himself. When the conductor, in taking
up the tickets, came TO him and demanded
his fare, he replied, az do not pay fare on
this road" "Then will put you oil at
the next station"
The conductor passed on, and passen-
ger, who had seen the transaction, said to
him, =" Did you know that old gentleman 9"
"No, did not" "Well, it is Mr.,
the President of this road" The conduc.
tor changed color, and bit his lips, but
went on and finished taking up the tickets
AS soon as he had done he returned to
:" old limpey," and said, Sir, resign my
station as conductor" "Sit down here,
young man, do not wish To harm you ;
but we'run this road for profit and 10 ac-
commodate the public, and we make it an
invariable rule to treat every person with
perfect civility, whatever garb he wears,
or whatever infrmity he suffers. This
rule is imperious upon every one of our
employees. shall not remove you for
what you have done, but it must not be
repeated"
That conductor afterward never saw
among his passengers another "old
impey."

NEW BOOKS.

The popular house Of A. Eyrich, No. 13C
Canal street, has furnished US with copies
Of the following works:
THE Rise and Fall Of the Paris Commune
in 1871 with a full account of the BON.
bardment. capture and burning of the city,
illustrated with a map of Paris and many
original portraits Of famous leaders
We again recommend this as a very valu-
able addition to contemporary history.
Lady Judith, Tale of Two Continents, -
is by Justin Mccarthy, and is particularly
noticeable for its well drawn characters and
clearly lmned incidents. Its three hundred
pages Of matter is no drawback. SO well
sustained and varying is the interest of the
plot.
"Overland" is novel by J. w. DeForest.
for which we predict widespread popu-
larity. 1t is thrilling sketch of life in the
wilds Of the Pacific slope. and well illus
tra.es the wild. fierce and dangerous char
acter Of the old inhabitants whom the civil
izing railroads are crowding out of exist
ence. Do not fail to get it.
Eyrich also has "Nast's Comic Almanack. :"

SPLENDID STOCK OF CLOTHING Al
STEvENs'.-Among the really attractive
stocks Of new goods opened by our retail
merchants this season, the splendid assort-
ment OF mems, youths, boys and chill
dren's clothing to be found at the store of
Mr.. H. B. Stevens, corner of St. Charles
and Common streets, takes a front place.
These goods, having been manufactured
expressly for Mr.. Stevens. are all of the
very latest fashion, both in material and
cut, and will give the public better idea,
perhaps, as to how our male cousins of the
North and in Europe dress, than almost
anything else. Those Derby and New
Market suits are particularly worthy of
notice, as being not only the very quintes-
sence OF taste but the very thing for q
business man to knock about in. Those
Charvet shirts, just secured from Paris, are
also elegant garments, and recommend
themselves both for the fineness of texture
and perfection of shape. Mr.. Stevens fur
nishing goods this season are also very
elegant and well selected, while the assort-
ment is extremely varied. We advise our
readers to lose NO time in going to see this
stock, as visit will be time well spent.
