WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-A few weeks ago the
contractor on the Ell Paso and Fort Concho mai
route in Texas failed to carry out his contract
and temporary weekly service was engaged a
FIVE hundred dollars per week from another
party. The Post-Office Department also applied
10 the War Department for assistance in carving
the mails through that section, asking if sys
hem of carriers could not be established to carry
the mails until the service could be relet to some
responsible bidder, the object being to break ut
the system of straw bidding alleged to exist in
that section.
The question was referred to Gen. Ord, com.
manding the Department OF Texas, who replied
shat it could be performed by the army twice q
week at an expense of 5000 per month, and if the
Post Office Department would reimburse the War
Department for the expense incurred, the service
would be performed. The Department accepts
She proposition, and the postmaster at Fort
10 the military whenever they we're prepared to
carry them.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Rio Bravo has
been repaired, and will leave Galveston for the
mouth of the Rio Grande as soon as her anchors
and chains reach her.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The report of the
register OF Vital Statistics of the District of Col
nmbia for the week ending September 4, shows
the rate OF mortality OF the whites was nearly 20
per thousand. and of the colored near 50 per
thousand. The rate of increase of the white
population by births over deaths was one and
four-tfths per thousand and the decrease of the
eolored by deaths over biruh was thirty four and
sixty-seven hundredths per thousand. Such
marked difference in the mortality of the whites
and blacks has existed for some months past
Various meetings have been held by prominent
3oiored men TO discover a remedy for this de-
crease of their race, but without success

Truant Son Restored to His
Father.

Mr.. Charles Delamsrre, residing on St, Ann
street, discovered on Friday morning that hi.
little son Joseph had disappeared from his house
Having often noticed negro man named Louis
Cup, vegetable vendor from the parish of a.
Bernard (having stand in the French Market,
around his house, he Immediately suspected him
of having kidnapped the child. An affidavit was
accordingly made, charging Cup with having
kidnapped the child.
The accused was arrested at his stand Satur-
day morning at the French Market.
Detective Devereaux repaired to the parish Of
St. Bernard and there found the boy joseph
Delamarre, on Mr.. Joseph Bourg's plantation.
From Cup and Mr.. Bourg it was ascertained that
he (Bourg) had instructed Cup to procure in the
city orphan boys if any could be found, and that
he would cloihe and board them for the work
which they would perform on his place.
Cup, while at his stand in the market, had re-
peatedly made inquiries flor such boys. Young
Joseph Delamarre, having heard that vegetable
man from the market had asked for boys, called
on him at the market, and representing himself
as an orphan, asked him to go downwith him. He
was accordingly taken to Mr.. Bourg's place,
where he was found by the officer. He was
brought back to the city and returned to his
parents, and the charge of kidnapping made
against Cup withdrawn.by Mr.. Delamalre.

The night was pitch dark and the water rum
| ming high. The storm created such fearful din
as to make it almost impossible to hear anything
but the warning Of the elements, while the light
| ming flashed athwart the sky afforded only
possible glimpse Of the dread scene. We we're
off Point au Sable at o'clock Friday morning,
| when Capt. Lusk heard voice from the pro-
pellor shouting: "Cast off your line" which was
Immediately followed by the shrieks OF women
For few moments all was still-the crews OF
the Mayes were in the meanwhile loosening the
line, when voices from the propeller were again
heard, sounding to those on board the schooner Ms
line was already loosened, and the connection
between the two vessels thereby severed, when
suddenly, as Capt. Lusk was peering through
the darkness at the receding propeller, it APP
peared to tip over, and almost before he could
move she disappeared.
This was so sudden that no one on board the
schooner seemed to have any idea of the situs-
ton. For a moment it seemed as though the
propeller had steamed away and was lost to
sight in the darkness. But there could no doubt
but that the steamer had been swallowed up
without warning or q sign OF anything wrong
until the order came to cut loose.

1.-The oft-quoted line, "Though lost to sight, t<
DEAR" originated with Ruthven Jenkyns
and was first published in the Greenwich Maya
zine for Mariners, in 170l or 1902. We give The
whole poem.l
Sweetheart, good bye! that f1ut'ring sail
Is spread to watt me far from thee,
And soon before the farth'ring gale
My ship shall bound upon the sea.
Perchance all des'late and forlorn,
These eyes shall miss thee many year;
But unforgotten every charm
Though lost to sight, to memory dear.
Sweetheart good byel one last embraced
Oh, cruel fate, two souls to sever!
Yet in this hearts most sacred place
Thou, thou alone shalt dwell forever;
And still shall recollection trace
In fancy's mirror, ever near,
Each smile, each tear, that form, that face
Though lost to sight, to memory dear,
