Our Baby.

To-day We cut the fragrant sod
With trembling hands. asundrr.
And lay this well beloved of God
Onr dear dead baby under
o hearts that ache. and ache afresh
tears too blindy raining,
Our hearts are weak. yet heing flesh
Too strong for our restraining.
Sleep, darling, sleep, Cold rain shall steep
Thy little turf made dwelling;
Thou wilt not know So far bclow-
What winds or storms are swelling:
And birds shall sing in the warm spring.
And flowers bloom about thee;
Thou wilt not heed them love but oh
The loneliness without thee,
Father. We will he comtortcd:
Thou vast the gracious Givrr,
W" Weld her up-uut dead not dead
T" dwell with thee forever!
Take Thou our child ours for a tlal.
Thine while the ages blossom

Good Maxilns.

Drink nothing without seeing ii 4;
sign nothing without reading it; and
make sure that it means no more than
it says.
Don't go to law unless YOU have moth
ing to lose ; lawyers houses are built
on fools heads.
Put no dependence on the label of II
bag. and count money after your own
kind.
I'm any business, never wade into
water where You cannot see the bottom.
See the sack open before YOU buy
what is i'll it, for he who trades i'll the
dark asks to be cheated.
Keep clear of man who does not
value his own character.
Value the friendship of him who
stands by You in the storm swarms of
insects will surround you i'll the sun
shine.

Mon RULE IN NEW YORK. During
Il trial last week in the New York
Court of General Sessions, of Mr. John
Cochran for shooting another man last
April, Recorder Hackett in charging
the jury, said he was very sorry that
the Legislature had passed an act pro-
hibiting the carrying of pistols, because
the 10000 violatOrs of the law in that
city would carry pistols, law or no law,
and the only result would be to make
good men defenceless. He acknowl-
edged that he had carried IA pistol him
self for many years, and believed that
the Legislature had made II great mis-
take in passing such law. This is
most hImihating, and certainly an un-
professional confession for jndge to
make on his own bench, and before ii
jury.

RAILROAD MONOPOLIES.-Th Thought
full people have for some time seen and
commented on the dangers threatening
the country from the growing dlmen-
sions and power of our great railroad
corporations. But perhaps the evil will
to some extent work its own cure
Some of these corporations are already
getting 50 big that nobody can stand
the work of managing them, and there
must be some limit of consolidation. j.
Edgar Thompson, president of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad, has just gone to
Europe, all broken down by his labors

Local Intelligence.

1t appears that there is no difference of
opinion between the Board of Police Com
missiouers and Superintendent Badger.
The bone Of contention, Sergeant Doak,
whom the Superintendent desired retained
at the harbor station, was allowed by the
Board to remain, on the recommendation Of
General Badger, and the rules were not
amended in the least degree. The sergeant
was not removed from the harbor to the
fifth precinct, as it was intended to give
that officer further trial. 1t was not nee
essary to wait long, for Monday night he as
sailed Patrolman Jansen on the levee, beat
ing him severely at eleven o'clock on the
night mentioned. This transaction was
witnessed by several citizens, and the pa
trolman has made an affidavit against Doak
for assault and battery. Two charges are
now pending against the sergeant, and he
will be before the Board soon for unoficer-
like conduct

Close and Sure Connections.

There is nothing more gratifying to the
traveller than the assurance that the trains
will make close and sure connections, thus
avoiding vexatiOus delays by the wayside.
In order that passengers to the North and
Northwest via the New Orleans, Mobile
and Texas and Mobile and Ohio railroads
may suffer no delay, the managers Of the
latter have made a regulation which re-
quires their trains to wait at Mobile long
enough for the New Orleans passengers to
arrive. This is announced in the following

THE POLITICAL MARRIAGE.

It is said, and with a goOdideal of ap-
parent truth, that the recent political mar
rage wherein the Reform and Democratic
State Central Committees joined hands for
good OF for evil, for sorrow or happiness,
was brought about under peculiar circum-
stances. Some of the members were pass
ing through the city on their way to Balti-
more, but full of chagrin at the probable
result of their mission, when the other COM
mitteemen sought them out for consolation
and sympathy.
Having found good room and procured
an adequate quantity of good reetifed
whisky, the conference was opened by one
remarking: ave are all in a devil of fix,
and nary lie in it "
1t is a we'll understood fact that trouble
begets confidence, and at no time do we
pen our hearts so fully as when in mutual
distress. An aspirant for Governor left in
the Iurch reioined; "That's fact. We are
all left here to seek Office, and nobody to
support us. l doubt whether there is
twenty men in the State who think of our
candidates tonight, and, worse than all, we
are just wiped out entirely"
"True," replied the first, 'and it was our
only chance; for if we don't take promi-
nent part in this canvass, we never will be
heard of again. 1t is certain our candidates
can't get dozen votes apiece, but we can
put them forward with a great flourish of
trumpets, and then they'll talk about u.s.
'And call us fools for our palms," re-
joined dubious committeeman from the
rural districts
"No matter; they'll talk about US, and
here in the city that's everything"
"But will our candidates consent to run
under such circumstances ?" questioned
one of the others. -
what if they don'tl They viii have to
write letters declining, you know, and cur
names viii appear in the papers in that con
nection, and the people will see ana read
them"
Aud SO the argument proceeded for some
length of time, when conscientious scruples
were at last put at rest, and the measure
was agreed to.
