Horrible Depravity and
Cruelty.

WASHINGTON, March 10. "A white wo-
man named Maria Waldron was sent to
Jail by the Coroner of this District on tho
charge Of having starved to death her ille-
climate child five months DID, The testi-
mony before the coroner's jury shows that
the mother abandoned the child, leaving it
in the house with some poor persons in the
neighborhood, who only discovered its ac-
tual condition when too late to render any
assistance. The mother is reported as be-
ing very dissipated.
A case was reported to the Board Of
Health of father who, not having the re-
qnisite papers to obtain the burial of his
child in a cemetery, instead of TAX
ing trouble to procure them,
placed the coffin, containing
the infant, in a vacant lot near by and left
it without giving himself any further con-
Germ His arrest was caused by the Board
of Health
Still another case of cruelty to infants is
reported, being that of a white male in
FAINT only a few hours old, found in a sew
err, at Georgetown, with its throat cut from
ear to ear. The guilty parties are un-
known.

THE NEW H PSIEER r.
ELECTION.
Close Voting for Congress-
men.

CONCORD, March 10, 2.30 A. Mate re-
turns of the night seem TO have changed
the face of the election somewhat, making
what seemed at an early hour an over
whelming republican victory rather doubt
full. Returns of the congressional districts
are meagre, and insufficient to indicate re-
suits positively The republicans claim to
have elected Pike in the second district,
and Blair in the third, and think Jones,
the democratic candidate in the first dis
trict, is defeated. On the other hand, the
demo Gratis claim to have elected Jones in
the first, Bellin the second, and think the
later returns may show the election of
Kent in the third district. The second and
and third districts seem doubtful, with the
chances somewhat in favor of Jones in the
first district.
THE GovERNoRsHIP DOUBTFUL.
The republicans claim to have elected the
governor, but the latest returns have re-
duced the figures so that ono election by
the people seems not improbable. The
Legislature will be very close.
CONGRESSIONAL RETURNS.
CONCORD, A. M.--Thirty-one towns in
the second congressional district give Pike
(rep) 4,8ll, Bell (dem.) 5,034. Fletcher

CIVIL RIGHTS IN LITTLE
KHODY.

New YeRk, March GA Newport, r.
I,.teiegram says: Civil rights privileges
were, Sunday, awarded to two colored
ladies at Trinity Episcopal Church, the
most arstocratic place Of worship in the
city, and one visited almost exclusively by
the elite of the city and summer visitors.
The ladies were shown to yestryman's
pew, whom, they represented to the sex
TOM had invited them. The vestryman
was absent and the sexton at once showed
them to the desired pew, which was occu.
pied by two ladies, who were strangers
and had previously been shown in. The
latter were highly indignant at what they
termed an outrage and at once arose and
left the church. The objects of the atten-
ton of those present THE two colored la
dies) remained This is the topic of con-
versation here as il is the FIRST time col
ored person was ever admitted to promi-
ncnt seat in that church.

Dreams.

The following story is told by the
Franklin Mass Register: " Two
nights before the late disaster Of
the railway train at Norwood, the
engineer of that train dreamed that
his train ran off the track at or
near that place, and that he had
escaped injury but his fireman was
badly injured Another engineer,
on the same day of the accident,
warned him to run carefully, as he
had dreamed the night before the
accident that his train ran off the
track at Norwood, but that he, the
engineer, of the wrecked train, was
not injured, but the fireman was
hurt. Here are two dreams, both
pointing to the same result, which
result was accomplished, and with
singular truth to the details Of the
dreams"

Civil Rights Notes.

Mr.. Kingsley, OF tho Continent
tai Hotel, Philadelphia, says the
civil rights bill will not affect him.
He has never refused accommodate
tions to respectable colored persons
Mr.. Kanaga, Of the Girard, ex-
g;lrcssrs a similar opinion, but he
says he would "treat q colored loa-
fer just rs he would white loa-
fer"
A bill was introduced into the
Tennessee Legislature ON Tuesday
to repeal the privilege to tax thea
tres, hotels, boarding houses, ETC.,
in order to avoid the provisions OF
the civil rights bill.
The proprietor Of the Drovers'
Hotel, Alexandria, Va, took down
his sign on Thursday, in conse-
quence of the passage OF the civil
rights bill, and will hereafter only
conduct house of private enter
tainment.
The Savannah (Ga.) News Of

THE FOOTSTEPS OF DECAY


TThe following is translation
from an ancient Spanish poem,
which, says the Edinburg Revie,e,
is surpassed by nothing with
which we are acquainted in the
Spanish language, except the ode
of Louis de Leon."
Oh. let the soul its slumbers break
Arouse its senses, and awake
To see how soon
Life, in its glories, glide away,
And the stern footsteps Of decay
Come stealing on.
And while we view the rolling tide,
Down which our flowing minutes glide
Away so fast,
Let Us the present hour employ,
And deem each future dream Joy
Already past.
Let Ia vain hope deceive the mind
No happier let us hope 70 find
Tomorrow than to-day;
Our goll dreams of yore were bright,
Like them the present shall delight
Like them decay.
Our lives like lasting streams must be
That into the engulfng sea
Are doomed to fall
The sea of death, whose waves roll on
Der ing and kingdom, crown and
throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the rivers lordly tide,
Alike the rivulet's humble glide
To that sad wave!
Death levels poverty and pride,
The rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is but starting place
Life is but the running of the race
And death the goal;
There all our glttering toys are bought,
The path alone, of all unsought,
Is found Of all.
See, then, how poor and little worth
Are all those Offering toys of earth
That lure US here
Dreams Of sleep that death must break
Alas before it bids US awake,
We disappear.
Long ere the damp eai tn can blight,
The cheeks pure glow of of red and
white
He passed away;
Youth e,,ila1 ord q II woq hon vof, g fpir
Age came and laid his f ger thet,-
And where are they?
Who're is The strength that spurucd de-
