WASHED UP BY THE TIDE.
Found Drowred-Was il Foul Playl


About 1880 o'clock yesterday morning man
named Peter johnson, who was at work in the
Arsenal yard, near the river wall, discovered the
body of man lying in the water, beating against
and the coroner notified. The body is that OF a
man apparently about sixty years Of age, OF
medium size, with smooth face, hair very gray
and quite thick, dressed in brown pants, white
shirt tied with q black string about the neck,
dark cloth vest and coarse cotton stockings, with
no hat, coat or shoes, and had the appearance Of
laboripg man. The body had evidently been in
the water for three or four days, and the head
and face were bruised and bloody, and though
the man had received q heavy blow over the
eyes, it is probable that the Commissions were
caused by beating against stones while in the
water. There was nothing about the pockets
OF the clothes, one Of which was seWed up by
which tie man could be Unidentified. The body
was conveyed to the First precinct station, where
It can be identified, and this morning Coroner

troubles Of a Hungariau Editor.

FereneZ Desk, the Hungarian patriot, tells an
amusing story about the troubles of journalists in
Hungary during the absolutlst reign. Baron
Sigmund Kemeny was the editor of paper for
more than twenty yesrs, and nearly every night
he was reused from his sleep by commissioner
OF censure, and told that something must be
taken out Of his paper. The editor bore the
affection patiently for long time, but one night
about midnight be was shaken from his dreams
and told that his leading article must come out or
the paper would be conhscated. Losing all
patience the editor told the commissioner to con-
hscate It in GLds name If he wished TO, aud turn
ing over, went to sleep again. The astonshed
commits Toner waddled back to his chief aud told
him with horror in his eye that nos only had the
editor spoken Unexpectedly Of the censor, but
had actually beg ul snoring before the worshipful
commissioner could get out o. the room. 'Tnere
must be something in the back ground" muttered
the censor, at will certainly never do to co.,
hscate the paper" and the editor left 10 peaco

He was told one fine morning that a

Herr Professor"
stepping down to the room he found a
little miss, looking very grave and very
wise
" Is it thou" she said, "who hast writ

Yes, my dear; my brother and have
written them"
Then the tale of the clever little
tailor is thine; and it says at the end that

" Well, sir, do not believe it."

clined the quarter thaler. He offered
however, to see the honest little one
home, and have no doubt that the two
became in time the best of friends

An Enfant Terrible at the Play.

a BABY was present while Mccullough
was playing in New Orleans the other
night. The PGcaystpe says: . AS the mis-
fortunes of SpGrtacus approached their
elimination the baby gave vent to vari-
Gus expressions of alarm and discomfort.
When the gladiator babe his wife and
child farewell the baby howled dismally;
when the rebel chieftain swOre ven
geance and destruction on Rome the
baby deprecated his violence in moving
terms But when JeastppSats, or whatever
his name was, rushed in with a great
deal of brick dust on his throat and lots
of blue plaster distributed about his head
and body; when ne gaspcd and gurgled
and flung his arms wildly about and
laughed manianal and fiendish laugh,
and when Spartacus tipped out his
cleaver and fell upon the expiring
wretch with savage fury-then, then ye
angels and ministers of discord! then
that baby burst into a storm of squeals
and screams and screeches that drowned
the thunders of the stage and raised the
hair OF the spectators with a horror
never contemplated in the programme.
The noise was presently subdued; there
came sound as of strangling and
furry suggestive of baby choked and
sat upon; and the play at length pro-
ceeded."

LITTLE JTHHIE.

IN his little chamber cosy,
With his cheeks round and rosy,
Thinking not of care or weeping,
Little Jimmie's soundly sleeping,
Listening only 10 the singing
OF the birds his dreams are bringing.
He's cunning little fellow,
With his hair of glistening yellow,
And mouth as sweet and rosy
AS the rose, his favorite posy;
But no garden flower, the tallest,
Dares compare with him, our smallest.
When comes floating, merry laughter,
You may know he follows after.
If you hear a clear voice ringing,
You may know that he is singing:
But be sure if you hear a signing
That he's not the child - a-crying."
He's sunbeam all the daytime.
He's the life Of every playtime.
When the stars their watch are keeping,
He's cherub sweetly sleeping.
He makes all things bright about him
Oh, we couldn't do without him
