AN IKDrA.RUBBER INFANT.

From the Cincinnati Gazette, May %. Z
Just before noon Yesterday, two or three
persons, standing on the corner of Main and
Abigail streets, were startled at seeing a
little child come whizliDg down from q
fourth story window of block on the
northeast corner of the above mentioned
streets, and at seeing it strike with dull
thud on the iron covering of cellar en-
trance, and then bound into the gutter.
1t required but moment for crowd to
gather about the place OF the &C.
cident, for the child to be picked
up, and to be carried UP stairs, and for
Dr. Miles, who chsnced TO be passing, to
be summoned. If the child was not COM
pletely crushed, it was not expec ed, or
even hoped that death would not almost
instantly ensue. On the doctors examina
ton, it was found that no external injuries
were received save break il the left arm
aud blisters upon the left of the body,
caused by the violence of the conclusion
when striking the iron covering. A
hemorrhsge commenced, and was feared to
come from the child's lungs. -
Aside from the hemorrhage, there was no
indication of internal injuries. Little hope
however, after the examination, was gwen
that the child would survive an hour.
The circumstances which led to the acci-
dent are these: A little before noon the
mother of the little child, Mrs. Mary Hum
Ter, left, on an errand, the room occupied
by herself, husband and child, OF the fourth
floor Of the above mentioned building, and
left her littls child, two or three years of age
sleeping in bed. With a mothers pre-
caution, she closed the door to prevent the
child, should it awaken, getting out of the
room, pot for an instant supposing that the
window would be used as means of exit.
1t seems the child did awaken, 90 to the
window, lean out, lose its balance, and fall
the frightful distance.
DIR. Miles visited the child last evening,
when, strange as it may seem sitter such an
adventure, it was conscious, and gave indi-
cations of recovery. Should its tenacious
hold on life continue, and health be restored,
the case, with few precedents, will certainly
be worthy of record among medical jour
nails.

SINGULAR SUBMARINE STRUGGLE.
From the Detroit Free Press.

Some time since two young men named
Prater and Dayton, both boarding on
Atwater street, had falling out about q
young lady, and have ever since been par
ticularly savage toward each other. Yes
terday Prster heard that bis whilom friend
had said that he was going TO maui him,
and so he started out and found him at
the railroad elevator, just going out for a
sail. He lesped into the boat and attacked
Dayton, and both tunbled in the water.
Hardly word was spoken, but the two
men fought fiercely, and both went down
fighting and came up fighting, grasping each
other with one hand and striking with the
other. The other parties in the boat at
tempted to separate the combatants, but
could not. At length Prater, who was the
weaker man of the two, became so exhaust
ed that he relaxed bis grip and went down.
Dayton did not hesitate TO go after him,
and he caught him by the hair, rose with
bin and held bin up until both were pulled
in. Prater was about as near dead as live
man could be, and was in bed and quite i'll
last evening.

THE Japanese women, on marrying,
shave their eyebrows and stain their teeth
jet black. They do this to make themselves
hideOus to all men except their husbands,
az ID thus delicately ayow their belief that
the constancy OF the latter will be proof
against the rsyages of time and the de-
formities of fashion. Civilization is putting
an end to this heroic self.sacrifce, for the
wife of the Mikado is letting her eyebrows
grow again, AID permitting her teeth to re-
sumo as much of their former whiteness as
can be regained. She has also begun to
make calls on foreign ladies. Where so
much has been done in the highess circles,
more is to be expected. 1t is the first step
that costs in social reform as in everything
else.

The following touching poem, which w

Guards, who gave up his life in the cause
he espoused. This tribute 10 his memor,
is appropriate aud beautiful:
Der Malvern hills tn unclouded sun
Rose glorious and bright,
And brave hearts beat with hope that morn
That ceased to beat that night,
There are warriors marshalled on the hill,
There are warriors on the plain,
Who soon in dreadful strife will meet,
The victory to gain.
The cannOn's su len roar is heard,
First herald of the fray,
As onward press tue serried hosts
In battles dread array.
] stood upon distant hill,
And heard the deadly rattle
OF Inuketry, and witnessed all
The horrors Cf a battle.
saw men fall, as falls the grain !
Before the reaper's blade, l-'
/ saw the dead and wounded lay
In many a sunlit glade. -
Now cOmesa column TO the charge, .
Led by the true and brave,
Undaunted on MS fiery steed M(
His flashing sword doth wave. a
''onyardi" he cries, "Chatge, rades
ssDislodge tn insulting foe;"
On, on they rush, the victOry's won,
But their gallant chief lies low.
They gather round his manly form,
And gaze with fearful eye,
Then bear him from that fieldof blood
With many heartfelt sigh.
Upon his bre asst his comrades find
A tress of dark brown hair.
They gently placed il o'er his heart,
And kindly left it there
A ring. the token of a vow,
That made the soldier blest,
Was taken from his cold, cold hand,
AS it lay across his breast.
1t found its way where sorrow dwelt
DiscOnsolate, forlOrn;
A true heart crushed in youthful bloom,
FurcvermOre TO mourn.
They buried him among sweet flowers,
His grave with tears bedew,
Then to their bivOuac fires return;
Twas all that they could do.
But now, he sleeps in ''Olivet,"
Sweet "city of the dead
Beside the ones he loved in life,
By her who proudly led
His infant steps in pleasant paths,
and wa ched his ripening years,
As only mothers watch and pray,
With hope, with joy. with fears.
No scu ptured column marks the spot,
No classic dome doth tell
Who sleeps within the humble grave,
Or when the soldier fell.
But on a m dest marble slab
Is told the simple story:
This is the end of all his fame,
Of all his dear bought glory.
Sleep, soldier, in thy narrow he'd,
A warm heart thrObs above thee,
Until its pulses cease to beat,
It will sorrow as it loved thee.

Cloth shoes by Telegraph.

To the Union and American;
BRENTWOOD, May 81 have Just heard
of little commercial transaction here,
which is too good to be lost. 4 day or
two since, the daughter Of 3 well known
col ored man called at the store of Mr.. New
land to purchase a pair of cloth shoes. She
was disappointed, for there were none on
hand to fit. She was engaged to attend a
picnic IN South Nashville on the 3lst, and
the shoes she must have, so she called at
the telegraph Office and told the operator
she wanted pair Of cloth shoes sent TO her
from Nashville by telegraph Immediately.
The operator as cortaing the size she want
ed, told her to call az lin in the afternoon,
and he would have them for her. Mr.
NeWland had ordered lot of shoes pre-
viously, and he expected them by
the accommodation train due
here at 4:27 p. NJ. The shoes did come,
and the operator goes over and gets the
right size out of the lot, and takes them TO
the house ofthe colored girl. Here's your
shoes, says he, by telegraph-25 cents for
shipment and 81 for the CATERS, which
amnunt she paid promptly. Another negro
having found out what had been done,
called at the office and wanted to send a
trunk BIZ telegraph TO Nashville. The Op-
orator told the negro 10 call again in about
a month then the telegraph company would
be ready TO send trunks, spring wagons or
anything else that would stand shipment
by telegraph. The negroes think tele-
graphing is dig thing, and q great con-
venience for the cologed troops when they
want cloth shoes to attend picaics, etc.
