My Baby.

She is not beauty, my sweet little pet, Her mouths not rosebud, her eyes are moi
 like jet, Her nose far from Grecian, her skin not like
 snow, She is not beauty, dear me! no, no, no! But then she is winsome this bird of my bower, And she grows on my heart every minute and
 hour. She is not beauty, my sweet little pet, On dimples more witching my eyes have been
 set; Her mouth, must tell you, is large like
 mammals, While her chin, to be sure, is just like her
 papa's But tohen she smiles trusting1y, what can
 compare With this gem of my casket, bright, sparkling
 and fair? She is not beauty, my sweet little pet, Far handsomer babies each day can be met Her brows are not arching-indeed they're too
 straight, Yet time will work wonders, with patience I'll
 wait. But if she's not handsome, it matters not-no This bud of my bosom is pure as the snow. She is not beauty, my sweet little pet, That her forehead is too low cannot forget; No, no, she's not beautiful must confess Between you and I, would her mouth had been
 less) But she loves me so dearly, oh, how could I
 part With this light of my pilgrimage, joy of my
 heart?

DETEoTIvEs,-The correspondent of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle says that most of the detectives not only know the thieves, but are on good terms with them. One of the best de- tectives in New York is said to know 1,50O thieves and bad characters. The detectives do not follow up any moder- ate robbery; it must be large one to secure their attention. When traced, they always recommend the victims to compromise, and the rewards and emoluments go to the thieves and de- tectives together, ard in fat propor- films

PovERTY.-Six children were recent ly found in small rear room in Aven- ue A who were supported entirely by the proceeds of..their mothers knitting work, which she peddled around the streets. Some days they had bread and milk, and some days they had little or nothing. In the evening the m other, having no. money for either coal or light, would pick mp bits of wood or coal in the street, which served some- times to kindle little fire in the cold dwelling.

Greenland Glaciers.

Some of the Greenland glaciers attain a vast size. Dr. Kane reports the great Humboldt glacier as sixty miles wide at its termination. Its seaward face rises abruptly from the level of the crater to a height of 300 feet, but it is not known how deep it may extend under the sea. Another important ice- stream is the Glacier of Elsblink, on the Northwest part of the island. It projects seaward so as to form promontory thirteen miles in length. It comes from an unknown distance in the interior, and plunges deeply into the sea.

ANGLo-sAX0N.

There is much talk and some apprehension
about Kellogg's signing tho so-called city bill
The talk is random and the apprehension
groundless. Pitts position, perched upon a
capricious bayonet and threatened by an in
exorable law, renders it impossible that he
should ever put his name to any such in ,tru-
ment ....=@.
l. If he did, it would not make the bill
operative because from legal standpoint
Louisiana is under military government, and
he does not hold his Office by direct military
appointment.
g Because the Constitutional Convention,
which Is a necessary sequence Of revolution in
any State, will make the city offices such that
the thieves Pitt would appoint would get no
plumber to divide.
8. Because any slate he could fix up would
cause division in his own ranks.
A principle he cont resist, an interest he
can't control, and policy he dare not try-All
act as dissuasives.

Bismarck at Home.

The D@ltrche Nochrichten contains the fol-
lowing interesting notice
| Some days ago the harvest home was cele-
bratcd at Prince Bismarcks estate, Varzin,
| and, as is customary there, gmnd feast and
! afterwards q ball were given by the liberal
| owner to his farm servants, male and female.
A large and roomy carriage shed had been
decorated and fitted up for the occasion, and
a raised platform for the musicians, of course
was no. wanting. Shortly after the band be-
gan to play, and the different couples were
whirlng around the saloon, the Prince ap-
peared with his wife and family, and, as is
customary in those parts, did not hesitate to
share in the pleasures Of their humble de-
pendents. The Princess condescended to al
low the hind to dance with her once, and
then played the part Of quiet spec
tator. The Prpce, on the contrary,
who has been accustomed to dance with
the fine ladies at court did not shrink
from dancing with all the girls on his estate,
but he had to give his first partner lesson in
the mystic art. As the Chancellor began to
dance with her VINO was the Oldest among her
colleagues, she set to work with such will
and such rough and ready style as the
country folks do dance, that the Prince, who
had undergone the hardships Of warfare moro
than once, Was soon out of breath, and was
therefore obliged to check the impetuosity of
his partner. The young Countess Bismarck
joined in the merry dance as heartily as any
body. and set good example to the maids in
this respect. The noble entertainers re-
manned with their humble guests until Late in
the evening. Refreshments were provided in
in abundance, and as such vigorous exercise
increases the appetite, full justice was done to
them. On the I'd OF September, the ami
versary Of Sedan, all Prince Bismar:k's peo-
PIE, both high and low, were assembled within
holiday in eating and drinking and merrinents
of all kinds at the expense of their entertainer
and master.

No REpuc11os IN DRY GooDs SALE.-There
has been an impression among men doing
business on Wall street that the sales of dry
goods this year are not one quarter Of what
they we're last year. A Tribune reporter call
ed yesterday morning on the leading dry
goods merchants of this city and found that
the impression was entirely erroneous. The
sales this year since January have been about
fvc-sixths Of what they were last year in
amount of money. This difference, however,
is made up by reductions in the price Of goods
The impormtions this year differ from those
of last year by about $1,000, 900. There are
not SO many foreign goods on hand now Is
there were at this time last yeor, 80 that the
result is that the sales of both foreign and do
mestic goods are about the same in number Of
yards, and about seven-eighte - much in
price. This account, coming a. it does direct
ly from the principal manufacturing agents in
the city, may be considered a. representing
the real state OF the dry goods trade.-N r.

The ordinary rate for a telegram between
any two places in the British kingdom IS one
shilling for twenty words, address free. When
the Government took control over the tele-
graphs, a clause was put into the act securing
to the newspapers the privilege of receiving
the price they now pay. In Times column
of sold minion there are about twenty-one
hundred words. A column by telegraph
comes as nearly as possible to five dollars. A
short special dispatch of few hundred words
from New Orleans to New York will cost as
much as the London Times pays for several
columns Of telegraphie matter.

TpE REPUBLICAN ON RACE CON-
TESTS.

The attempt of the Republican to make it
appear that there was q race contest" in
volyed in the nomination for the mayoralty is
an evidence that your true blue carpet-bagger
might reside fifty years in Louisiana without
learning anything Of the people who g,nerally
and rightfully scorn to associate with him.
Mr.. Leeds and Mr.. Wilt are both natives Of
New Orleans, the former being of pure Anglo
Saxon, the latter of mixed French and Ger
man ancestry. They are both recognized Is
"Creoles," the term having always been ap-
piled here to all natives of the State, whether
their progenitors were French, English, Irish,
Spanish or Italian-nor has there ever been,
at any time, the slightest disposition to draw
q line between that class Of our citizens. The
ludicrous mistake of the Republican scribbler
is easily accounted for, however, by the Oim-
merriam darkness of his associations, and his
consequent profound ignorance of the ideas,
feelings and habits of the respectable white in
habitants of Louisiana
As the Dutch mistress of George once re-
marked to the indignant crowd that hooted
her when she made her appearance upon the
street, this imported slanderer Of our people
might possibly reply to those who jeer him for
his foolish and malicious Inventions: "Pny
don't be-, SO angry with me, my friends you
know / only came here for your own goods. >

MUTUALITY OF INHERENT.

In the course Of a long article, the Pitts ,url
Post, of the Sd inst, says:
With the war our great Southern marke;
was closed, and even now after nine years OF
peace i: is not opened. And why? Because
the Lower Mississippi is impoverished, and
IN the hands of men who are wholly selfish.
Instead of stimulating agriculture and pro-
ductlon, and giving MS a market that would
require the doubling Of Pittsburg manufac-
turing facilities to supply the demand, is each
year reduced by system OF official robbery
and grinding taxation, which unless speedily
checked viii terminate in absolute ruin.
The demand for Pittsburg manufactures in
the South in 1874 is less than half what it
was in 1860, whereas, under wise policy. it
ought to be at least four times greater. Our
manufacturers who found q ready market in
1860 in the valley Of the Mississippi, can esti-
mate from the profits they then realized VIVA.
they are losing daily to-day as result of
carpet-bag government, and Kellogg and
similar usurpations While the present policy
and form Of government in the South is death
to the people there, it is disadvantageous to
our own citizens. Ten thousand idlers and
bankrupts in the Mississippi Valley make a
thousand idlers among mills and manufacto-
ries of Pittsburg. 1t is not, therefore, a mere
question of furnishing the people of the South
and giving them over to the hands Of selfish
Adventures, as a reward for their crimes of
rebellion. Every blow that brushes the peo-
pie OF the South, strikes also the laborer, the
skilled mechanic and the manufacturer of
Pttsburg We can stand these blows the
longest, as they reach us more indirectly, but
We must snccunb eventually unless hey are
arrested.
1t is time for rs here at the eastern gate Of
the empire of the Mississippi Valley to lay
down the prejudices engendered by war that
has been covered with the Christening SHOWS,
and ameliorated with the sunshine of ten
years. Good policy suggest such a line of ac-
ton Christianity and humanity applaud it !;
self-interest and national Government must
no longer lend its arms and influence to place
soulless Adventures and thieves over the peo-
pie Of the South. Honest men and men iden-
titled with its interest, must be allowed to
mould its destinies and the patriotic people #
both the North and South must join together
to bring this about The Mississippi and its
tributaries must always water the same great
nation. No power on earth can separate it
into sections. But if portion of it is bruised
and bighted by bad government the whole
body must whether sooner or later and lapse
into q hopeless decline.

Richmond Enquirer: Messrs. George 4 Boy
kin, prizers and shippers of tobacco, of this
city, lately had returned to them by their
agents in England two hogsheads of tobacco
which was pronounced by the government
analyzers as being too sweet for consumption
under the law governing the manufacture and
sale of tobacco in that country, it containing,
according to analysis, l25 per cent Of sugar.
This tobacco was cured and priced three
years ago under the careful management OF
Mr.. Jas. r. Morris, and after three years alb
sence, crossing the ocean twice, it is as sound
and in as perfect order as on the day it first
left the factory.
