A WANDERER.-On Saturday even.
Ing last, a citizen of the Twenty sixth
Ward, found girl of twelve years sit
ting on his door steps, tired out and
detected. She game her name as Lizzie
jackson, from Wilmington, and said
that her brother had put her on train
for New York, but that she had, by
mistake, got out in Philadelphia. She
had wandered about until tired out,
and did not know where to go. Her
mother had put five dollar bill in her
pocket but she had lost it in pulling
out her handkerchief. She remained
at the citizens house until Monday
morning, when, still persisting in her
story, she was put on board train for
Wilmington in cha, ge of the conductor.

Not That Kind OF n Man.

There is an anecdote going the
rounds about old Gen. Sedgwick and
Gen. Grant in the Wilderness which is
trihe inaccurate. This is the way it
was : The day before Sedgwick was
killed, and while his infantry was
fighting to the left of Mine Run, two
batteries of his artillery were waiting
for orders about half mile in the rear
of the line of battle. Grant came rid
ing along, accompanied by two of his
staff--probably Rawlins and Babcock-
and asked sergeant of artillery, who
sat on his horee by the roadside, where
Gen. Sedgwick was. The sergeant did
not recognize Grant, who wore no in
sigma of rank, SO he turned to COM
rade with:
"God'lmigbty, Bill, here's a man
lookin for old John Sedgwick in the
rear T.
At this Grant had started to ride
along, and the sergeant called out after
him:
E" L say, mister, you amt much ac-
quaiEted with old John, be you ?"
Grant laughed heartily, and replied
that he used to know old john"

he labored under delusions as to an in

subordination and the absence of such
intention, to allow themselves to be
tied down with ropes on deck, in which
position they lay for nearly an hour.

when approaching Cork harbor he de-
liberately murdered them in succession
with an iron bar. After some time he
recovered his reason in the district

what he had done, for he was remarka-

piety, also, was very conspicuous, and
he was constantly engaged in reading
the Bible and religious works. Occa-

repetition of nautical phrases.
