During the past week, bit Of romance
has occurred in the Children's Aid Society,
which hardly seems to belong to this mat
ter-ef-fsct age. The number Of years since
the reports of the society gave an account
Of sad event in Brooklyn. A woman
had been murdered by her drunken hus-
band, and kind lady of that city discov-
cred three wretched little children weeping
over the corpse-twO boys and girl. They
were utterly friendless after the arrest and
imprisonment OF the father. The two BOYS
were brought to the Newsboys' Lodging
House in New York, aud the girl Temporal
uy sheltered. At length the society sent
the boys to homes in the West, and the
girl was adopted by gentleman OF prop
erty, near the city. The latter never knew
that her adopted father was not her own.
The boys have DOW grown up and acquired
property-one being a druggist and the
other farmer. They have been extreme
ly anxious TO communicate with their sis
ter, and have been in correspondence with
her guardian for some time. During the
past week they revisited the city for the
first time-very well educated young men,
In good circumstances. They visited the
Girls Lodging Houfe, the Newsboys' and
other Institutions Of the society. The adopt
ed father of their sister consented that they
should see her in bis office, provided they
did not disclose their relationship, as she
was only fifteen, and he wished her to sup
pose herself bis daughter, so that her Rf
fections might not be weakened for few
years longer. She is to inherit bis proper.
ty. They felt the propriety Of this, and
had their interview with her, last week
without disclosing their relationship, aud
then returned, well satisfied, to the West
-Neto York Times.

CAPT. MARRYAG AND HENRY
CLAY.

The Lexington Observer and Reporter
GayS: The following incident was related 10
us by Judge r. A. Buckner, of this city,
who was present at the time it occurred:
Capt. Marry1t while in this country was
present at Ashland by invitation Of Mr..
Clay, and q number of gentlemen had been
invited TO meet the noted Euglishman at 3
state dinner. After the wine had begun to
circulate, Mr.. Clay, in conversation, made
some 2llusion to the English custom which
requi- ed the guests on such occasions to
present the heat servant Of their entertainer
with come gratuity before leaving. This
offended Capt. Marryat, who in 8 very per-
emptory manner denied the existence of
any such custom.
Mr. Clay blsndly responded that such
must be the case, for he, when dining with
Lord CastlereSgh, had once forgotten II
and been reminded of it by his lordship's
butler.
Capt. NJ. seemed TO be still offended and
was abou; TO make some testy remark when
his entertainer sent the decanter to him by
q servant, and in his politest manner ex-
tending bis own glass said, "Aglass of wine
with yeu, Capt. Marryat."
The captain, pushing the decanter aside,
responded, "No! | want no wine, have
drank too much already"
Turning to Lewis R. wit and a
"eood fellow" who IvOald take too much
at times, Mr.. Clay said quietly, ga glass
with you, Lewis, my son, | see you have
not taken too much"

CINCINNATI.
Estimates Of the Hog Crop.
A Beartsh Report.


CINCINNATI, Dec. 2l.-Fhe number Of
hogs slaughtered in Ohio from the first of
November was $4,000.
The Superintendent Of the Chamber Of
Commerce, Sidney D. Maxwell, who has
been gathering pork packing statistics for
the Chamber submitted preliminary re-
port to-day, from which it appears that one
huI dred and three towns and ci les in the
West, exclusive Of Cincinnati, Chicago, st.
Louis, and Louisville, had packed up to
var GUS dates, ranging from Dec. to the
present time, five buDdTed and eighty-nine
Thousand hogs. The estimates for the re-
ma nder Of the season, made by the packers
in these places, aggregate 1885,
600, making the whole number for
these places, which embrace nearly all the
principal packing points Of the west, ex-
cluHive Of the four cities named, one million
eight hundred and eighty-fve thousand
hogs. This would make an increase over
last year for the whole season in these
places Of two hundred and niDety-ive
thousand, or eighteen and ffty-six hun
DIRE 1ths per cent. The remainder Of the
wet, not including the four cities named,
ptC zed last year ak hundred and thirty
one Thousand. II the Increase in those
Ill LU6 SSlQ6
ratio, and like increAse take place in Gin
cinnRu, Chicago, St. Louis and Louisville,
it would make the whole increase 10 the
fou- cities four hundred and seventy-five
thoIsAnd, and in the remainder of the west
fou. hundred and twelve thousand. This
would make an aggregate increase In the
whole west Of eight hundred and eighty
seven thousand, and would make the ag-
gregSte packing of the west for the season
five millions six hundred and seventy
tho lsand.
The report states, however, that the num-
Der to be packed in the four large cities
named will be controlled by contingencies
thai might change this estimate as to thsse
cities. st. Louis is alreGdy ella ming that
she will pack $40, 900, which would be an
increase over last year Of 81 per cent.
CT eighty-fcur cities and towns that re-
port on the matter of weight, fifty-three
report the hogs heavier than last year,
twenty report them about the same and
eleven report them lighter.
With reference to lard, Of seventy nine
places, forty report the yield from leaf aud
trimmings heavier; twenty-six report
abolt the same, and thirteen report the
yiell lighter.
CHICAGO. Dec. 21.-The receipts Of live
hog, at the Union stock yards the past
weed were 1852, the largest mum ber
ever received in one week. Total number

A tennessee Belle In ItnIy.

ALI. Horsely, Of the Columbia Herald,
with characteristic gracs, writes the follow
ing:
"Niss Antoinette Polk, daughter Of the
late Col. Andrew j. Polk, of this county,
is now the reigning belle at one of Italy's
favored places of fashionable resort-Mon-
"a. She is great faVorite Of the Princess
Royal Marguerite, and is often welcome
and CHERISHED guest at the Royal Palace Of
Mona. Miss Polk has home-Ashwood
Hall-six miles from Columbia, which is
one of the finest residences 10 Middle Ten
nessee, and situated in q country which
vies in beauty Of landscape and fertility of
soil, with any in Italy--the darling of poets
aud lovers Of pleasure. She has kinsWo-
men and friends here who are the equals, if
not the superiors, of Princess Marguerite;
and she has, also, beau, who now Counts
money by the thousand, and who is, we
dare say, hsudsomer and smarter than any
of the titled gallants she meets with in
Italy. And yet she prefers Italy to Maury
county. She went to Europe soon after
the war, aud has come back only Once-in
1867, we belieye-but it Is rUmorcd that she
will soon return. It was ON her broad
acres at AshwOod that she learned the
graceful equestrianism which has 50 aston
ished-the pleasure loving Italians"

WHAT DOES 1T MEANT
Arrest Of q United States Revenue
Officer

The following communication concern
ing the subject of which the United States
Internal Revenue officers here have said
nothing, is from Clarksville:
To the Editor of the Union and American:
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 10, 1S72.-
On the 105h inst, while Col. Jesse Tay lor,
Collector of the sixth collection district Of
United States Internal Revenue, was sbsent
at home, dispatch was received by NJ. NJ.
Hiland (his clerk and Deputy, informing
him to take charge of the Office, Col. Tay-
lor being suspended. On Wednesday Col.
Taylor arrived here, and ON Friday pro-
ceeded to Nashville, when be found him
self arrested, but was Immediately released.
The charge against Col. Taylor was embez-
element, which was preposterous, Mr.. TaY-
lor's reports of collections and his deposits
agreeing to q cent.
On Tuesday, the 175b, N. II. Hiland
telegrSphed to the Supervisor that he de-
clined accepting to take charge, Col. Taylor
having informed him that be would deliver
nothing belonging to the Office unless be
(Hil&nd) would receipt for it, which Mr..
Hiland refused to do. To-day Mr.. Hland
was discharged from the service of Col.
Taylor as Clerk and Deputy Collector, by
Col. Taylor, and az present neither are dis
charging the duties of the Office. Col. Tsy-
lor still has charge, but is willing to turn
over everything to any appointed person,
provided they (the powers that beg release
him from all responsibility. The citizens
here greatly prefer Col. Taylor being REIN
stalled. 1t seems that III. III. Hiland is in
dicted in the United States Court for c0llec-
ting claims against the Government, and at
the time that be was appointed by Col.
Taylor, he (Taylor) was not aware Of
there being any charges against him.

A LITTLE COHPOSITION ON THE
WHEELBARROW.

The Daubury Nel0S mau says: II you
have occasion TO use a .wheelbarrow, leave
1t, when you are through with It, in front
of the house With the handles toward the
door. 4 wheelb2rrow is the most compli-
Gated thing to fall over on the face of the
earth. A man will fall over one when he
would never think Of falling over any thing
else; he never knows when he has got
through falling over il, either; for it will
tangle bis legs and his arms, turn over
with him and rear up in front Of him, and
just, as he pauses in bis profanity TO congrat-
uiste himself, it takes a new turn, and
scoops mole skin off OF him, and he COM
meJces to evOlute anew, and bump himself
on fresh places. A man never ceases to
fall over Wheelbsrrow until it turns COM
pletely on its back or brings up against
something it cannot upset. 1t is the most
inOffensive looking OBJECT there is, but is
more dangerous than q locomotive, and 10
man is secure with one unless be has q
tight hold of its handles, aud is sitting down
on something. A wheelbarrow has It's uses,
without doubt, but in lis leisure moments
1t is the great blighting curse on true digni-
tY.

A LITER AIRY JOKE.

The southern papers are recJudting a lit
ersry joke which was perpetrAted years ago
by Alexander B. Meek, of Mobile. He
thought he would play sharp trick upon
the critics, and took John FoTsythe, A.
Bernard, Col. Reyno ds. j. A. Requier and
Richard B. Owens into his confidence He
wrote a poem entihed "Balaklaya," which
was printed, and enclosed to q Northern
magazine, with the following introduc-
ton also printed:
From the Manchester (EngIand) Guardian.
"The recent ode of The Poet Laureate,
Alfred Tennyson, upon the fatal charge of
Balaklava, has been generally admitted to
be piece Of such splritless doggerel that
every true Eugiishman must have blushed
at the performance. The subject having
been mentioned TO our gifted young towns
man, Alexander Smith, he, by request,
penned the following glowing poem, which
does ample justice to the th0me, and is
worthy to take its place in Eugljsh martiaf
verse with 'Hohenlinden,' 'The Battle O.,
the Baltic 'The Burial of Sir John Moore,
etc. Such are the songs Cf nation,
which are more potent than its laws"
The poem was published in the maga-
zine and much praised. Mr.. Meek after-
wards reclaimed bis own property, and told
the story ofthe authorship Ofthe poem for
the benefit of those "#hO having no judg-
ment of their own, are content to take any
sort of stuff as an emsnation of genius, so
that lis authorship is asc.ibed to a celebra-
ted literGteur." Now the poem has been
revived and republished as one that will
render the name of Alexander Smith i'm
mortal, and A. B. Meek, the author of it, is
dead and buried in an obscure grave In Nc
bile, with no chance for immortality.

Police PickinEs.

Nancy Thompson did not intend to get
drunk Friday night. That fact is sufi-
GENTLY established by her having gone out
on the street that night without taking the
precaution to lock her doors, or put her
house in order. However, she did get
drunk, attracting the attention Of police
man by her OtstrepsrOus conduct, in conse-
quence Of which Nancy was afforded an
opportunity to ''woo the drowsy god" with
in the safe precincts of the calaboOse, from
which she emerged yesterday morning,
fresh as a daisy kissed by the dew.
After short, but pleasant interview with
the Judge, Nancy gave directions to have
her personal effects removed to the work.
house, at which place she has concluded to
tarry for couple Of weeks.
Ed. BloOdworth found that the cold
weather of Friday and Friday night was
too much for him, and the question with
MIR. BlOodworth was this: Shall l adhere
strictly to the temperance principles which
have been my guiding star through life, and
freeze 10 death, or shall l absorb Just a
thimbleful of benzine, infusing, in this way
warmth to my thoroughly chilled frame,
aud so proloDg my life?
Mr.. BloodWorth did not come to a con-
clusion hastily. Realizing that the question
was an important one, he deIiberated upon
1t long and earnestly, considering il in all
its bearings. He imagined himself corpse,
frozen stiff, and found in the dull, gray
morning by policeman, a newspaper re-
porter, hucksters or some other early
bird. He tried to picture to himself how
he would feel with q "Crowner's quest"
sitting upon him. He read, 10 imagination,
the startling bead lines which would adern
the local page of the UNION AND
AMERICAN when his condition was
made known. On the other hand, he pic
tured out the result in case he decided to
take the proposed "thimbleful," and the
contrast was so alluring and attractive that
his scruples were finally overcome and he
decided to lay aside for once his temper
snce principl S.
The pubic will be interested in learning
that Mr. Bloodworth was furnished with a
comfortable bed st the lookup, and that
he made his appearance in the courtroom
yesterday morning "clothed and in his right
mind" He left s. in current funds with
the Judge to be expended in g judicious
manner for the benefit of the city.
