not thai Kind OF n Man.

There is an anecdotc going the
rounds about old Gen. Scdgwick and
Gen. Grant in the Wilderness which
is a tritle inaccurate. THIS is the
way it was: The day before Sed9-
wick was killed, and while his int;,n-
try was fighting to the left of Mine
Run, two batteries Of his artillery
were waiting for orders about half a
mile in the rear Of the line Of battle.
Grant came riding along, accompa-
MED by two OF his stati,-probably
RaWllns and Babcock-and asked a
sergeant Of artillery who sat on his
horse by the roadside, where Gen.
Sedgwick was. The sergeant did
not recognize Grant. who wore no in
sigma Of rank, so he turned to 4 com
lade with;
"God'lmighty, Bill, here's man
looknl' for old John SedgWick in the
rcar"
At this Grant had started to ride
along, and the sergeant called ont If
ter him:
Il say, mister, YOU amt much ac-
quainted with old John, be you?''
Grant laughed heartily, and replied
that he used to know old John

1t is now no longer secret that
Miss Anna Dickinson has left the
platform and is studying for the
stage. Undismayed by the recep-

with, and by the hard work which
seems to be in store for her before
attaining the coveted position, Miss
Dickinson works brayelv, determine

personate her tavoritc heroincs Of
history in the higher walks Of the
drama. Miss Dickinson does not

debut probably rs Joan Of Arc, a
character for which she has the great

self to a limited range Of picturesque
and emotional impersonation>. New

SOMEBODY'S SERVANT GIRL.


she stood there leaning wearily,
Against the window frame,
Her face was patient sad and sweet
Her garments course and plain:
who is she pray?' l asked friend.
The red lips gave a curl
Really! do not know her name;
She's somebody's servant girl.
Again saw her on the street
With burden trudge along,
Her face was sweet and patient still
Amid the jostln@ .hrong.
Slowly and cheerfully she moved.
Guarding with watchful care
\ market basket much too large
For her slight hands to bear.
\ man. thought a gentleman.
Went pushing rudely by
Sweeping the basket from her hands,
But turned not an eye.
For there was no necessity,
Amid that busy whirl.
For him to be gentleman
To some one - servant girl.
All. well il is that God above
Looks III upon the heart.
And never judges any one
By inst the outer part;
For if he soul be pure and good,
lie will not mind the rest.
Nor question what the garments We're
In which the form was dressed.
And many a man and woman fair,
BY fortune reared and fed.
Who will not mingle here below
With those who earn their bread,
When they have passed away from life.
Beyond the gates of pearl.
VIII meet before their Fathers throne
With many servant girl.

THE HEALING KISS.

The hope of the house is III trouble,
His musical cries rend the air.
While his feet and his hands beat tattoo
Pets bumped his head on the chair.
''Run quick for the camphor and linen.
Find out just the distance he fell!'
mo matter, roars out the young hero,
'.For mother has kissed il most well.
Oh. magical kiss, we have felt it
Fun many time III our YOUTH
And there never was medicine like il
Or ointment so precious, forsooth
The dew from the lips that had parted
To drop words of pity for pain,
Seemed akin to the breath of an angel
And never was rendered in vain.
We oftimes wish for q solace
As trusty, as ready, AS sure,
When we rise from the shocks and bruises
That morals must ever endure!

Nearly an hour passed before he
lifted the latch IF his garden gate
again.
Glancing up at Lizzie's bedroom
window, he saw that ii was dark.
"Poor child! | hope she is sound
asleep by this time" he said, aloud,
as he halted in the porch to light his
last cigar.
"No i am not asleep" said Il
voice out of the darkness, so close to
him that it made him start.

Quotations.

With nothing in the dispatches to stimulate
the demand, and Sterling Exchange at | -l(
per cent lower the market continued uuie
throughout the morning, but as one buyer
operated freely the sales up to noon reached
1900 bales, after which there were further
transactions TO the extent of 1850 bales max
ing the moderate total, as noted above, OF
$3.50.
The movement was checked by the string
ent pretenslons OF factors, many OF whom
were unwilling to accept the ruling rates.
Others, however, We're ready to meet the de-
mand, at least to certain extent at veSter-
day S fl cures, but not to make any quotable
concess ions. The bulk Of the business was
consequently at steady prices but in some
transactions the adv lntage was on the side Of
the buyer. A good deal of disappout nent
was expressed ut Liverpools not evincing a
more decided upward tendency or more active
demand, the movement there being appa-
rently checked by the state OF trade and eX-
tent of the visible supply.
The amount on shlpboard not cleared,
going on board, and engaged for shipment was
set down at the opening this morning at ST.
500 bales, embracing 30, 900 for Liverpool, 49,.

black and white races, and judging from
the uprising of the people everywhere,
change must and will take place. Time
once was when honesty, economy and
wisdom governed the State, with peace
and happiness following. Now dishOn-
esty, ignorance and extravaganza are
substituted, with misery and discomfort
pervading every portion of the country.
They have created useless offices and
filed them with incompetent men, with
large salaries, merely to augment taxa
ton already too intolerable to be borne.
Our taxes must be reduced, and all SUI
