Beautiful Grand.mammn.

Beautiful Gr0nd.mammAs
Grand-mamma sits in her quaint armchair;
Never was lady more sweet and fair;
Her gray locks ripple like silver shells.
And her brow It's own calm story tells
OF gentle lfc and peaceful even.
A trust In God and hope in Heaven.
Little girl May sits rocking away
In her own low seat, like some winsome lay;
Two doll bsbies her kisses share,
And another one lies by the side Of her chair;
Mag is as fresh as the morning dew
Cheeks OF roses and ribbons OF blue.
<'ssy, grand-mamma," says the pretty elf,
''Tell me story about yourself;
When you were little. what did you play?
Vas you good or naughty, the whole long day ?
Was It hundreds anil hundreds OF years ago7
And what makes your soft hair Is white rs
snow? -
And dolly like this, and this, and this2
Did you have pussy like my little Kate?
Did yoSH, go to bed when the clock struck
Did you have long ourls and some beads like
And new silk apron, with ribbon fine2"
Grand.mamma amiled at the little maid,
And laying aride her knitting, said:
go to my desk. and a red box you'll see;
Carefully lift, and ing il to me-"
So May put her doll;es away and ran,
Saying, ''I'll be as carefult as ever can"
Then grand-mamma opened the box, and lol
A. beautiful child with throat like snow;
Lips just tinted like pink shells, rare,
Eyes OF hazel and golden hair;
Hands all dimpled and teeth like pearls,
Fairest and sweetest Of little girls.
"Oh: who is it?" cried winsome May,
chow wish she was hero to-dayl
Wouldn't love her like everythingl
Give her doll and my new gold ringl
Say, dear grand-mamma, who can she boz"
"Iarling," said grandma. 'that child WAS
me-"
May looked long at the dimpled grace,
And then ct The saint-like. fair old face:
''How funny!" she cried. with smile and kiss,
''To havs such dear little grandma as thisi
Still" she added, with smiling zest,
~ think, dear 81 and.ma. like you best"
30 May climbed on the silken knee,
Aud grandma told her her history;
What plays she played, and what toys she had
How at times she was naughty, or good, or
sad;
'But the best thing you did," said May,
''dont you see,
Was to grow to beautiful grandma, for me. u

COTTON samples on Fire.

At ten o'clock this morning the fire
bells rang out an alarm, the cotton-sam-
pie room of Hill, Fontaine & Co., No.
362 Shelby street, being discovered in a
blaze. The Voluntine No. 2 boys, un-
der Captain Raja, at once attached a
hose to the fire plug on the corner Of
Shelby and Gayoso, and in few min
utes the deluge Of Wolf river water was
thrown into the room, suppressing t..s
FIRE in a few minutes. By the time the
engines arrived on the ground the dan.
ger was over. The careless handling OF
o cigar on the part of some cotton buy.
ers or samplers is believed to have been
the cause of the accident There we're
cotton samples in two adjoining rooms,
but the rapid supply of water prevented
even the spread of Gre to the samples in
the second room. A delay Of ten or
fifteen minutes would have seen the
building in flames, and loss OF many
thousands of dollars would have been
the result.

The vaughan-Hindman case.

The arrest and revelations of Vaughan
in this city caused considerable excite
ment in Helena. The Helena World Of
the 18th inst. iutimates that Vaughans
motive was to levy black mail. The
World closes a lengthy editorial in the
following style: SOFIA
The writer had the pleasure to be on
the NEST intimate terms with the la
mented General Hindman, and also DIR.
d. A. Linthicum at the time of the as
sassination, and knew that they were on
the most friendly terms, in fact, they in
their intercourse with each other, more
resembled brothers than friends. We
are satisfied that the testimony of this
sceundrel Vaughan, Burdett or what
ever his name may be, amounts simply
to nothing. 1t is unnecessary for us to
say anything in reference to this affair,
in which this man attempts to implicate
DR.. Linthicum. So far as we are here
concerned we are satisfied that Vaughan
is villain, and his word is simply a lie
whenever his mouth opens. DR.. Linthl-
cum has long resided in our midst, and
with great many citizens was well &C.
quainted during the war, while he served
as medical director on the staff of the
lamented General P. r. Cleburne. And
while we pay no attention to the testi-
mony of this man Vaughan, we at the
same time know that reports published
in the Memphis papers must go abroad,
and we come forward to vindicate his
honor and character, as we would be
willing to testify that the statement of
this perfect personifcation of scoun-
drelisw, Vaughan alias Burdett, is as in
famous a lie as ever was breathed against
the character Of a gentleman.
