A SAD CASE OF DEPRAvIrY-

SAD CASE OF DEPRAvITY-T1e Disgrdced
Dongater Of Respectable Parents Attempts Suicide.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. George s. Henault
called on Detective McDevitt. at police head
quarters, and reported that while absent from
his place Of business-the restaurant and liquor
establishment at the southeast corner of Sth and
ID streets-his sleeping apartment had been en-
tered, and bis trunk and bureau drawers ran
sacked, papers and jewelry strewn around, and
that he had missed q valuable gold ring. Mr.
McDevitt at once went with Mr.. Henault to the
establishment, and there learned that during
the day two young girls had visited the house
and had become very much intoxicated, and
Mr.. McDevitt found one of them still there, and
she then was beastly drunk, carrying on fran
tically and begging that her family should not
be disgraced. He recognised her as the daugh-
ter Of a very respectable citizen Of South Wash
ington, and advised the proprietor % give her
room where she could stay until sober. Mr..
Henault agreed to do 50, and she was taken up
stairs for that purpose. As Mr.. McDevitt was
leaving the place with one Of our business men,
they noticed the girl getting out Of one Of the
upper story windows. and fastening back Mr..
MeDevitt took charge Of her, and sending for .
carriage conveyed her to headquarters where
she Is still held. She stated that she was de-
termined to take her own life, and get out of
trouble, and that il she had o knife She would
cut her throat. She also stated that both she
and her sister had been deceived by . business
man Of Washington. The oficers have kent
everything like knife or danRerOus veapon

AN EXTRAORDINARY INFANT.-Ihe follow
ing literary curiosity appears IN memphis
Tenn, paper, and as specimen OF nlgn
falutin, is SO grand that the author might lei
himself ont for gas-meter or an assistant dlc-
tiopary or spelling book for public schools
sDicd. in this city, on the 22d, -, intaut
daughter of-and- aged two months
and five days. The shades of eternal night
has clouded forever the infantile----,. who
rose as a star and beamed lucently with a
meteoric resplendency along the horizon OF her
parents, Tightening their pathway with the
sheen of hope. A lovely gem OF beauty gieam
ing brightly in their caSket OF jewels has her
earthly lustrc eclipsed to corruscate with re-
newed efugence in the spirit world. \ gentle
rosebud, whose yernal freshness lmpregnated
her parental heart with its fragrance OF love
blooming sweetly in the boquet OF flowers that
garlanded their happiness, has, by the blight
Inc upas of disease, faded away, to bloom with
more brilliant angelic hues in that land of
pcrenuial purity aud bliss to which little child
rem by divine beheSt are welcomed.
MAMMOTH UTAH INSTITUTIoN.-Mr. l.. q.
Granger, freight superintendent of Zlons Co.
operative Mercantile Institution, has been IN
the city for day or two. Mr.. Granger is, a
son-in-law OF Brigham Young, but whether he
embraced the old fellow faith with his daugh-
ter, deponent sayeth not. The institution
under his superintendency does trade OF be-
tween s9,OO0,0O0 and slO,0 600 per annum !;
and the bulk fits large business in the States,
for long time transferred to St: Louis Besides
the home house in Salt Lake city there are one
hundred and thirty-eight houses in the Coop
erative Mercantile Institution. Just before
leaving Salt Lake the superintendent started
colony of one thousand people for San Francis
co mountains, in Arizona, supplied with all the
machinery and paraphernalia of well-regulated
settlements. The Mormons certainly have a
way of doing things on an extensive scale. ut

A King Of India, SIIerahm, was SO
re]olced at the invention of the
game of chess, that he demanded
of the inventor, Sessa Ebn Daher, one
of his state officers, to choose an ample
reward. Instead of choosing a vast
amount of money, he expressed the
seemingly modest request to the King,
to grant him the amount of wheat
grains which would be obtained BY put
ting one grain upon the the first square
Of the chess board, two upon the Sec
ond, four upon the third, in short,
twice as many upon each following
square as upon the preceding one.
Though rich as ever an Asiatic King
was, Sherahm could not satisfy this re-
quest: for to his unbounded amaze
ment the number Of grains amounted
to sum which precluded the possibil-
lty of realization. It takes no less
than seventy years to raise the amount
of wheat, even if all the firm lara GF
the earth were used for that purpose.
The inexorable ticking of the
clock is like the throb of pain to sem
satlons made keen by sickening fear.
And SO it is with the clock-work of ma
ture. Daisies and buttercups give way
to the brown, waving grasses, tinged
with the warm red sorrel /; the waving
grasses are swept away, and the mead
ows lie like emeralds set in the bushy
hedgerows the tawny-tipped corn be-
gins to bow with the weight Of the full
ear; the reapers are bending amongst
