HOME CIRCLE.

LOUISE CHANDLER MoULToN's last
poem appears in the Independent, and
runs sweetly thus:
Just a little baby, lying in my arms
Would that could keep you, with your
baby charms;
Helpless, clinging fingers, downy golden
hair;
Where the sunshine fingers, caught from
Blue eyes asking questions, lips that can
not speak,
Roly-poly shoulders, dimple in your cheek;
Dainty little blossom in a world Of woe,
Thus fain would keep, for l love you So
Roguish little damsel. scarcely six years
old
Feet that never weary, hair of deeper gold
Restless, busy fingers all the time at play,
Tongue that never ceases talking all the
day;
Blue eyes learning wonders of the world
about,
Here you come to tell them-what an eager
shout
Winsome little damsel, all the neighbors
know;
Thus long to keep you, for love you SO.
Sober little school girl, with your strap of
books,
And such grave importance in your puz-
zled looks;
Solving weary problems, porting over sums,
Yet with tooth for sponge-cake and for SUI
gar plumsi
Reading books OF romance in yevv bed at
night,
Waking up to study with the morning
light;
Anxious as to RIB bons, delft to tie bow,
Full Of contradichons.-1wo would keep you so.
Sweet and thoughtful msideE, sitting by
my side,
All the worlds before you and the world is
vide;
Hearts are there for winning, hearts are
there to break.
Has your ovE, shy maiden, just begun to
wake?
Is that rose of dawning glowing on your
cheek
Telling us 10 bushes what you will not
speak?
Shy and tesder maiden, would fain forego
All the goken future, just to keep you so.
All the listening angels saw that she was
fair
Ripe for rare unfolding in the upper air;
Now there ofdawning turns to lily white,
And the close.shut eyelids veil the eyes
from sight;
All the past / summon as l kiss her brow
Babe, and child, and maiden, all are with
me nor1.
o my heart is breaking; but Gcd's love 1
know
Safe among the angels, He will keep her so.

American Enterprise i'm London.

London is full of American enter
prises of all sorts. One feature which
seems to attract peculiar attention at
present is the manifest desire of En-
glish capitalists to buy large tracts of
American land. One company, more
than a year ago, purchased 100000
acres in Kansas, and are now disposing
of it to emigrants of their own choice,
and many substantial families have al
ready gone forth to settle there. Last
week ESQ, 1000 was paid for an immense
expanse of land in Oregon to be de-
voted to the raising of sheep, and, re-
cently,I heard of great sale of 300
900 acres in Colorado. The theory
seems to be that as these vast tracts can
be purchased at very low rates, they
are safer to hold than the stocks of
many of the railroads which have prom
ised SO much and come to so little.
Within the last few months organiza-
tions have been formed for the sale of
lands in the old States of New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland,
and the emigrant is told with truth that,
by paying little more, he can procure
a home within few hours of New York
or Philadelphia, where he will be much
more comfortable than if he moved off
to the wilderness Of the far Vest

People with Double Barreled Faces.

L was once sitting in cool under
ground saloon at Leipsic, while people
without were ready to die from heat,
when new guest entered and took
seat opposite me. The sweat rolled in
great drops down his face, and he was
kept busy with his handkerchief, till at
length he found relief in the exclama
ton, /" Fearful hot p I watched him
attentively as he called for cool drink,
for [ expected every moment that he
would fall from his chair in a fit of apo
plexy. The man must have noticed that
[ was observing him, for he turned to-
ward me suddenly, saying, "I am
curious sort of a person, am I not ?"
I" Why?" I asked. because I perspire
only on the right side" And so it was !;
the right cheek and the right half of
his forehead were as hot as fire,
while the left side of his face bore not
trace of perspiration. I had never
seen the like, and in my establishment
was about to enter into a conversation
with him regarding this physiological
curiosity, when the neighbor on his left
broke in with the remark, "Then we
are the opposites and counterparts of
each other, for [ perspire only on the
left side" This, too, was the fact. So
the pair took seats opposite to each
other, and shook hands like two men
who had just found each was the others
half.-POpUtGT Science Monthly.

Canine Sagacity.

Michael Conley, the sewer contrac-
tor, is the possessor of four greyhounds,
which were the other morning the
means of saving mans life, display
ing remarkable degree of sagacity in
the operation. Felix Prior and James
Carroll were at work in an excavation
about seven feet deep but about $50
o'clock Carroll went away for some
thing, leaving Prior in the excavation
alone, and while the latter was at work
the banks caved in, completely cover
ing him up. The dogs happened to be
near by, and all four of them, taking in
the unfortunate mans situation, at
once began to scratch away the dirt
from over his head vigorously, at the
same time yelping to attract the atten-
ton of the neighbors. Mr.. Conley,
who was the first to arrive upon the
scene, drove his dogs away, but they
returned and began to dig and yelp
again. He then began to dig also, as
did some of the neighbors who had
been attracted to the spot by the cries
of the hounds, and it was not long be-
fore the head of the buried man, who
was standing up, was reached, and he
was permitted once more to breathe the
air, which, had he been deprived of it
a few moments longer, he never would
have breathed again. He was taken
from the sewer unframed, rescued from
horrible fate through the sagacity
of a quartet of dogs.-East Green

A Memory of Bull Run.

Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, in his mar
rative of military operations during the
rebellion, gives the following as the
reason why he did not ''push things !"
after the first Bull Run victory
His soldiers were disorganized by
victory more than those of the United
States by defeat. The Southern volun-
teers believed that the objects of the
war had been accomplished, and that
they haG achieved all that their country
required of them. Many, therefore,
in ignorance of their military obliga-
tions, left the army-not to return.
Some fastened home to exhibit the
trophies picked up on the field. Others
left their regiments without ceremony
to attend to wounded friends, frequent
~ accompanying them to hospitals in
different towns.
Gen. Johnston recognizes the skill of
the Union commander, Gen. Nc
Dowell, in using his superior numbers
to turn the Confederate flank which lay
toward the Shenandoah, and from
which he rightly judged their reinforce
ments to be coming. The confederate
left was beaten back, and, being unsup-
ported, would undoubtedly have been
driven in but for Stonewall Jackson's
personal exertions /; for this was the oc-
casion on which that General first dis
played his wondrous gift for leading
men in action.

WAR OF RACES.

Fighting Near Vicksburg Between
Whites and Blacks-A Number Killed
and Wounded-Origin of the Trouble.
VIcKsBURG, Dec. There has been for
some time trouble brewing between the Tax
payers Association and citizens and the county
officials. The citizens claimed that the Sheriff
was acting without legal bond, and the Board
of Supervisors refused to order q new one,
though the time for paying taxes had arrived.
Last Wednesday the citizens held q meeting
and in body proceeded to the Courthouse
to demand the resignation of the sheriff, chan
Gerry clerk, treasurer, and coroner. All fed ex-
cept Sheriff Crosby, negro, and he signed
his resignation. On Saturday card appeared
on the streets, signed by Crosby calling on
all the citizens of Warren county, Republicans
white and black, to come to his aid and sup
port him in his position. Crosby publicly and
through the papers denied the authorship of
the card; yet this morning an armed body of
negroes appeared advancing on the city from
six different roads.
The alarm was sounded about o'clock,
and the citizens gathered en- masse. armed
immediately and advanced to meet the ne
groes. On Baldwins ferry road, the negroes
were met just outside the city, on Grove
street. about 200 strong. The commander of
the citizens warned the negroes to dispense,
but they refused, and Immediately firing COM
menced on both sides. The negroes retreated
about mile, and again made stand in old
breast-works and house, but were
soon routed. The loss in this
engagement was one citizen, Oliver
Brown, killed, and about twelve or fifteen
negroes killed, several wounded, and about
twenty prisoners.
On Halls ferry road about $50 negroes
were found and routed, after short engage
ment, with several killed and wounded.
Andrew Owens, the negro who commanded
the negroes on Baldwin's ferry road, was
captured and committed to jail.
In an interview with a Herald reporter,
Owens said he was ordered by Sheriff Crosby
to come to the city to-day with all the armed
men he could get together.
Alex. Stockhouse, from Newton, one of
the captured negroes, says the order for all
negroes to come to Vicksburg this morning
was read in church on Sunday. Crosby, who
is under guard at the Court House, denies
that he gave such order.

Fashion Notes.

LOBE earrings are going out of style.
They now cut the apron front in battle
ment pattern.
SOME of the ball dresses Lave two
over-skirts and long train.
SKIRTS walking skirts-have all the
fullness behind, the front being drawn
by cords.
IRISH poplins are much worn this
season. They are very handsome, for a
good poplin costs twice as much as a
good silk.
How SHALL I make over my last years
suit is now the question asked by la
dies whose pas are not as rich as they
used to be.
BoNNETs are gradually getting into
something like shape. The newest one
is a fac sinaile in velvet of dishpan
with brim.
The number of buttons on kid gloves
increase. Ordinary street gloves have
six buttons and evening gloves as many
as twelve.
AT length the pretty Sicilienne cloth
begins to be appreciated here, though
merchants have had to reduce the fabric
to half it's original price.
ALMOST all bonnets have roll or twist
of velvet and silk under the brim, thus
making it look very high. Contrasts of
color are the exception this season,
though peach blossom with brown, and
lemon-color with myrtle green, are used
with good effect.

The British Polar ExneditTon.

Not long ago the London Geogroph-
2c0t magazine announced that the
British government was disposed to
send another expedition to the arctic
regions. The cable has more recently
confirmed this statement by letter
from Mr.. Disraeli to Sir Henry Rawlin-
son, informing him that, in conse-
quence OF the representations of the
Royal geographical Society and other
learned bodies, her Maiesty's govern
ment had determined to organize a
polar exploring expedition without de-
lay. A still later dispatch brings the
news that two steamers are now being
fitted out in England for the expedi.
ton, which will be ready to start next
May, under the command of Capt.
George S. Mares, now in command
OF her Majesty's ship Challenger.
10 Judge from the address delivered at
the last meeting of the Royal Geograph-
1cal Society by it's president, the ex-
petition will try to reach the North
Pole by Bafin's bay and Smiths
Sound. There are four ways to the
northern polar regions. The first is
OoC"eou OplCzDergen, Nova Zembla,
and the coast of Siberia the second is
between Greenland and Spitzbergen
the third is by Baffin's Bay, Lancaster,
James. and Smiths Sounds, and the
fourth is by Behring's Straits. The
last Austrian expedition having ap-
parently demonstrated the impossibility
OF reaching the North Pole via Spitz-
bergen by sea, the route by Bafin's
Bay, which the English geographers
have always regarded as the best, will
be taken.
