Child Murder

We stated that the package containing
the dead child was found in the edge o.
the river This is an error-it was found
a little distance from the edge and in such
position as to preclude the idea that il
was washed ashore or came from any place
but Rock Island, The package was not
even so wet but the paper could be unroll-
ed without tearing it, 1t is quite likely
that it was thrown there by woman, as a
man would have made more certain that
invent outin the stream. Undesirable that
the mystery be unravelled, and all people
are interested in bringing the guilty party
to justice in knowing who is the mother,
who the father, and who the abortionist.

A Ponderous Slipper.

George has for some time past
been attentive to a young lady
whom he has noticed on several
evenings when he called busiIy on
gagged on beautiful piece of en-.
broidcry, which perhaps accidently,
or comparing it with the size of his
OWE foot he lad concluded was one
Of pair Of slippers that were, no
doub, intended for holiday pres
cnt; and George had once or twice
allowed himself 10 wander into the
pleasant suspicion that they were
intended for him, although nothing
had really hanspired to justify such
II bclict.
On Friday evening George called
for the third time during the week.
Hes quite attentive, it would seem,
and as usual the slipper was pro.
crossing finely. lie was fully sure
the slippers were intended for HIM,
but he was anxious to draw the ac-
acknowledgement from the dear an
gel who WAS laboring so industri-
Ously for his benefit, another impli-
ed acknowledgment of her devotion
for him. OF course he began eau
tlously:
"Some one you are mighty fond
offs to become the possessor OF those
slippers, ! imagine 7" said he.
What slippers do you refer to ?"
inquired the fair laborcr.
" Why, those you arc working on
so induslriously," replied George.
"Slippers.' almost shouted his
astonished companion. "Slippers.
do you mean to tell me, George,
that You took this for a slipper"
"Why notY' returned George, in
advertently moving one Of his pom
dcrous pedal appendages. The
movement, though pnintentional
drew the lady's close attention to
Georges feet, whore she gazcd a
moment and then at the supposed
slippers; then, raising her eyes to
our hero, she said "Well, George
YOU are not so much to blame after
all; but this was really intended fol
a sofa cushion
George takes but little pleasure
in hearing the incident related.

This important city is now
covered with a pail of desolation
and death. An epidemic, fatal in
its results, hovers over the iron city
of Alabama. A wall Of distress
reaches us. Her citizens call for
help from those who have thus far
escaped me scourge, now prevail
ing in chis ~and adjoining states.
let our people respond promptly
and literally. Let our old citizens
take ch.rge of the matter, for they
have not forgotten the dcath-pall
that mantled the central city just
twenty years ago, when the yellow
fever ragged as an opidem and claim
ed so many of hepeople as victims
TO death. Let our young men con-
tribute their means. Let our char
liable organizations respond. Let
our churches manifest their charac-
teristic libcrality. Let our noble
women work for their suffering
friends almost at their doors. Let
our city council meet and appropri-
ate sum to the relief Of the sutf-
ering city. We were in telegraph
ic communication with Col. Powell
on yesterday, and from him we
learn that money is needed. Bir-
is filled with laboring
people, business is suspended, and
work and salaries cease. Let Sci

Hair Cutting in Danbury.

You can always tell boy whose
mother cuts his hair. Not because
the edges of it look as if it had
been chewed off by an absent.
minded horse, but you can tell it by
the way he stops on the street, and
wriggles his shoulders. When a
fond mother has cut her boys hair,
she is careful! to guard against any
annoyance and muss by laying
sheet on the carpet. 1t has never
yet occurred to her to sit him over
the bare floor and put the sheet
around his neck. Then she draws
the front hair over his eyes and
leaves it there while she cuts that
which is at the back. The hair
which lies over bis eyes appears to
be surcharged with electric needles,
and that which is silently dropping
down under his shirt-band appears
to be on fire. She has unconscious
ly continued to push his head for
ward until his nose presses his
breast, and is too busily engaged
to notice the snufiling sound that is
becoming alarmingly frequent. In
the meantime he is seized with an
irresistible desire to blow his nose,
but recollects that his handkerchief
is in the other room. Then fly
lights on his nose, and docs it 50
unexpectedly that he involuaaAsiily
dodges, and catches the points Of
the shears in his left ear. At this
he commences to cry and wishes he
was a man. But his poor mother
doesn't notice him. She merely
hits him on the other ear, to inspire
him with confidence, and she goes
on with the work. When she is
through she holds his jacket collar
back from his neck, and with her
mouth blows the short bits Of hair
down his back. He calls her at
tention to this fact, but she looks
for q new place on his head and
hits him there, and asks him why
he didn't use his handkerchief.
Then he takes his awfully disfgured
head to the mirror and looks at it,
and, young as he is, shudders rs he
thinks OF what the boys on the
street will say.
The Osceola times., 1873-08-02
A Royal Betrothal.

The long talked of arrangement
by which the English government
was to be connected with that Of
Russia has at last been definitely
settled. Prince Alfred Earnest Al
bert, Duke Of Edinburg, Duke of
Saxony, Count Of Ulster and Kent,
and Captain in the Royal Marines,
is to be married to Marie Alexan-
drovitch, tho grand dacbess and
chief Of the regiment Of Lancers.
Prince Alfred Earnest Albert was
born on the 9th of August, 1874,
and therefore is now in his twenty
ninth year. Marie Alexandrovitch
was born on the 5th of october,
1858, and consequently is now near
ly twenty years ofage. There has
been much talk in regard to the
probability of the union of these
two houses, the majority Of Spin-
ions being, with one or two nOta-
bic exceptions, the union would not
be effected, because of certain COM
binatlons which had been made in
the east, where, across the great
desert and from Tashcnd down to
Afghanistan, England and Russia
have been generally supposed to be
at swords points. The words OF
newspaper correspondents seem, in
this case at least, to have been ut
terly at fault, and il is only the cool
Allgemeine Zeitung, of Augsburg.
which seem to have pronounced
with perfect assurance the fact that
between Russia and England, IN
regard to the eastern question, 50
far as it related to central Asia, all
is now and eventually must be at
peace. AS assurance in regard to
the amicablc intentions Of the two
governments, nothing could be more
comforting than the assurance that
the long limited atmarital conjunc-
tion between these two great gov
crnments is at last to be accom-
plished. Although the announce
ment that the marriage has been
officially arranged has been made.
it is not known on what day the
nuptials will take place.-World.

Keep Out of Debt.

Half the perplexity, annoyance
and trouble that men have in this
world is in consequence of getting
into debt. II seems to be natural
tor some people to buy, and incur
obligations without measure, so
long as they can avoid paying ready
cash. Give one Of this sort chance
to buy on credit, and the questions
of payments are matters that he
cares but little about. But what Il
crop Of trouble springs up from the
seed of debt. How many gray
hairs it brings, and how often it
shortens life; sometimes leading
men to commit suicide or murder.
And yet how easy ii is to keep clear
Of this terrible monster. Every
young man should form fixed and
unalterable determination before
commencing his actual business ca
rccr, not to incur one penny OF
Indebtedness under any circumctan-
ces. Never buy anything unless
you have the money to pay for 1t
at once. Pay 10 attention to the
"splcndid opportunities" "rare
chances" bargains" and the like.
Such arc only traps set TO catch
victims. If you see anything you
would like to accept, look first at
your money pile, and make the
answer depend upon that. Always
pay as you go. If you are short
OF money, gauge your demand ac-
cordingly.
The Osceola times., 1873-08-02

have been mistaken, OF the artist in
his portrait has departed from strict
historical truth to serve some pur-
pose Of his own; a privilege only
accorded to poets and writers OF fic-
ton. What makes this discrepancy
the more embarrassing, we are ut
terly without the means of arriving
at truth. Either Bill did or did not
have more clothing on at the time
of his capture than the tail of his
shirt, or somebody has been gross
ly ignorant as to the condition OF
his wardrobe. But waive the sub
ject MIR. Lawson requests the
owner to come forward, prove prop
crty, pay for his board and take
him away, or he will be dealt with
as the law directs. We have not a
doubt but that all this was done.
If Bill is still alive, he is now about
fifty-eight years ofage, free, voter
and eligible to any office within the
gift Of the people. But | somehow
am persuaded that Bill has never
been honored with a public Office.
| incline strongly to this opinion
because Bill was so simple as to
take passage on a steamboat like
any other man and hoped to escape
in this easy and comfortable man
ner. lie was evidently slow Of
speech or otherwise Mr.. Lawson
would have mentioned it. lie was
then evidently not only fool, but
slow Of speech; and this being the
case, we will venture that he is al
this time cropping on the shares.
Black Solomon, or If my conjec-
turc be true, the Hon. Mr.. Johnson
and the uniucky Bill are not the
only aspirants for freedom, whose
actions and miscarriages arc record
ed in the Gazette of December 22
1871. Albert, negro man about
twenty-five years of age, about the
same time left for parts unknown,
and Harris, dressed in suit Of old
green cloth, cotton shirt, five feet
three inches in height, very black
complexion, stout built, aged twen-
ty-four and weighing one hundred
and forty-two pounds, was, on Mon
day the 4th. day of December 50
unfortunate as to fall into the
Randolph county Jail and IN the
keeping ofG. II. Imbodcn, the sher-
if thereof. Thus, if the fate OF
Black Solomon and Albert is left in
Il state of uncertainty, we have the
consolation of knowing the denoue-
ment ofthe attempt at running away
of Bill and Harris. They got them.
