Babes in the Wood.

had two little babes, a boy aud a girl
Two little babes that are rot with me now ;
On one bright brow full golden Ieli the curl
The curl fell chestnut brown on one bright
brow.
like to dream of them that some soft day,
Whilst wandering from home, their tut
feet
Went heedlessly through some still woodland
way
Where light and shade harmoniously meet;
And that they wandered deeper and more deep
Into the forests fragrant heart and fan,
Till just at egentall they dropped asleep,
And ever since they have been resting there
After their willful wandering that dav,
Each IL so tired it does not wake at all,
Whilst over them the boNghs that sigh aud
sway
Conspire to make perpetual evenfal.
And |, that must not join them, still am blest,
Passionately, though this poor heart
grieves;
For memories, like birds, at my behest,
Have covered them with tender thoughts,
like leaves.

uation may be summed up as follows
The party under Captain Jack are still
at large None of them have been cap.
tuIed. They are raiding and maraud-
ing around the neighborhood of the
lava beds south of Tule or Rhett Lake.
where they will probably stay until
routed out by the military. The Hot
Creek Indians of the Modoc tribe,
whom the citizens of Linkvile would
not allow to go on the reservation, as
was telegraphed you, and who broke
and ran, fearing that they would be
killed by the whites, have returned to
Fairchild's rancho at Cottonwood. 1t
was feared here that they would Join
Captain Jacks band, which, if they
had, would have given him twenty or
thirty desperate fighters in addition to
his own. The news which reached here
last night, that these Indians had re-
turned to Fairchild's, has relieved the
anxiety of the people on that score.
In few days l hope to be able to send
you something fresh and reliable from
the 'front.'

An AnecdOte Of General Grant.

Mr.. l.. Y. Bierce writes letter to an
Ohio journal, in which he tells the fol-
lowing anecdote of his own experience
in the late war:
While our army lay at City Point,
on the James River, at the mouth of
the Appomattox, in Virginia, my duties
as Assistant Adiutant General of the
United States volunteers, called me
there to consult with General Grant.
One aftelnooa while walking out with
the General Che being in undress, with
nothing to denote his rank, we passed
Il boy of ten or twelve years of age
fishing.
Grant" Bub, have you good luck
to-dayl'
Boy-"Not very; they don't bite to-
day
Grant" You have got a few here;
won't you give them to me ?"
The tears started in the little fell
lows eyes as he said II have hadno
breakfast to-day and no dinner, and if
| don't sell my fish | shall have nothing
to get me n supper
General Grant inquired as to his
history, The boy was native OF
Michigan, and his mother was n widow.
To obtain money to support his wild,
owed mother he went into the army as
% waiter for a captain OF the Michigan
troops, whose name | cannot recollect.
The captain was dead, and he had not
a friend left
Graut-"'Bub, you know where
Grants headquarters are2'
Boy" Yes sir
Grant" Bring your fish up there Mt
10 O'Clock, and he Will buy them.
"Punctualiy at the time the boy was
on hand with his string of fish, but was
promptly stopped by the orderly in
front of the quarters. General Grant
overhearing the order, stepped ont,
took the little fellow by the hand, led
him into his quarters, and, becoming
satisfied with the truth OF his story,
procured for him suit OF clothes,
hat, free pass on the railroads home,
and gave him $50 in money.
Now, Grant may be q bad mani
am not going to argue that question
but | don't believe you could make the
mother Of that boy believe it.
