"Try there, says the sergeant.
Then he turned on his light into s
dark corner, where the bits of wood
lay, and I darted across and threw bach
two or three places, when gave a CRY
and fell on my knees again. For there
was no mistake this time I had un,
covered little foot, and there was the
| little white sock all bloOd-stained and
/ I felt q great SOD rise from my breast sc
| I stopped down and kissed the little red
spot
Steady" said the sergeant and
| then quickly, asI knelt there, they
reached over me, and lifted piece after
piece away, till there, In the gray light
of the morning, was looking upon
the little motionless figure lying there
with her golden hair, as had fancied,
dabbled in blood from a cut in her little
white forehead, where the blood had
run, but now lay hard and dry. Covered
with blood and scraps of mortar, she lay
sire ched out there, and felt as if my
heart would break to see the little peace
full face almost with a smile upon it
while, as If out of respect to my feelings,
the men all drew back, till kneIt there
all alone.
And now far up in the sky the warm
light of the rising sun shone, and 1t
was reflected down upon that tiny face
lighting it up With almost heavenly
beauty and as knelt there in the still
silence of the early morn, could hear
again and again a half-stified sob
from those looking on.
With trembling hands / leaned for
ward and raised her head then, passing
one beneath her, rose on my knees to
bear her out, when 1 stopped as if turn
ed to stone, then let go, and clasped
both of my raw and bleeding hands TO
my blackened forehead, as shrieking
out, by God, she's alive - I fell
back insensible; for those little blue
eyes were opened at my touch, and
voice, like the faintest wind in summer,
whispered the one word,
'f Father I"
That's her, sir. Fine girl she's grown,
amt she ? But she was beautiful as q /
child. Hair ever so many shades light /
er; and, unless you went close up, you /
couldn't see the mark of that cut, though /
it was some time before the scar gave /
over looking red.
But really, you know, sir, there ought |
to be something done about these bill i

At Memphis, on the 18th, James Dill
lard, colered boy employed on the steamer
John B. Maud, was shot and fatally wounded
by James DeVay, carpenter of the boat. The
latter was at work in the wheel-house, when
billiard threw some water overheard without, as
ne says, knowing DeVay was in the wheel
house, some of which fell on DeYay, who
went to his stateroom, got his pistol and shot
the boy in the back. He then, it is thought,
jumped aboard the steamer Glencoe, just
backing out ana made his escape.
a special to the Courier Journal of
the 14th inst, says four employees of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad we're arrested
to-day for breaking open freight cars on that
road, and sbstracting goods therefrom. One
of the men arrested was conductor OF freight
srain, snd the other three his subordlnates.
The rcethod of operation was to remove the
hoops from the door, thus not breaking the
seal then to break open the packages, and
after taking out portion of the contents to
nail them up again. These robberies have
been going on for months and being commit
ted in through freight cars, the company have
been unable heretofore to find the guilty defin-
ately. Saturday night a way freightcaF stand
ing at Bowling Green was broken open in this
way, and the detectives thus got the first clue
to the perpetrators. The property stolen in
this car, amounting in value to about twenty
thousand dollars, was recovered at Nashville
this afternoon, where the men were arrested

Enjoying a Battle.

The first day of the bombardmsnt of
Irun, says a Spanish correspondent,
drew thousands Of spectators to witness
the engagement. All along the road
which skirts the French side of the BIZ
dassOa row OF carriages of every i'm
aginable shape and style was drawn up,
and many of the occupants we're indulg-
ing IN champagne and sandwiches, as If
they were on the pleasantest of picnic
excursions. 1t was not at all an unfre-
quent thing TO hear pretty Spanish or
French girl saying, g I wish they'd go
on quicker; this is such slow work. y
Several Americans aud English who
were present were none the less blood
thirsty, forgetting that, although more
rapid firing on either side would have
intensified their own excitement, yet it
would have increased the number of
killed ard y.Unded to a considerable

A Brilliant Writer'S Ending.

The New York correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser writes "The sad
end of the career of a brilliant writer
may well ehasten the aspirations Of
even lI-paid literary men for unearned
wealth. To-day one of our lately most
promising magszinists was to be SEN
fenced to felOn's cell for a crime to
which he would never have been tempted
if he had not had the supposed good
fortune to marry a rich wife and become

more, better known by his magazine
name of Edmund Kirke, having woOed
and won the widow of a rich Newark
merchant named Burnett, withdrew
from literature some years since, and
devoted himself TO the ownership and
N management of real estate, a business
which another brilliant literary man,
the poet Willes, used TO say he would
like TO have been born to, evidently
meaning In his simplicity, that 1t was
not a very arduCus avOcation. Poor rich
Mr.. Gilmore found it too much for him,
however, as many others have. Whether
drink led him into bad ventures, or had
ventures into drink, I am not informed,
but both together led him into obtain

A New Dance.

Mr.. Allen DodWOrth writes to the
Home Journal cit is not surprising
that when we met with the Waltz Ian.
ciers' during our recent tour in Europe
and saw it danced by a party of ladies
and gentlemen whose motions conveyed
all that we mean by the words well
bred, our party we're unfeignedly de.
lighted. The dance itself is a simple
adaptation of the figures of the lancierf
to the rhythm of the waltz, blending IL
effect the stately cOurteOusness of the
minuet with the poetic grace of the more
modern dance. In calling attention to
this new acquisition, and giving some
directions for its performance, We in
duIge the belief that eur readers, es-
pecially the younger ones, will at once
recognize its beauty. Considering the
original music not fully adapted to the
dance either IN character or phrasing,
we have made selection for the pur-
pose from the works of Strauss, Launer,
and Lumbie, which viii, we believe, be
found admirable"
