DEATH IN STREET GUITER.-At two
o'clock last evening while the rain was
pouring down in torrents, filing street
cutters to oveIflowing, Lucia Rabito, only
nine years old, fell into the gutter at the
corner of st. Ann and Claiborne streets,
and was drowned. An idea may be formed
of the extent of the rainfall, when it is
stated that the child's body was not found.
The amount of rain that fell inside of an
hour and half was nearly three inches,
and of course flooded nearly every street,
holding pedestrians wherever caught. The
storm cloud came out Of the West and was
quite dispersed near the Eastern horizon
when the wind suddenly changed, sending
the mass back toward tue West. When it
was over our city it broke and leaked
out, giving us the benefit Of a genuine
shower bath of huge proportions, as may be
inferred from the above mentioned death.

AUCTION SALES THIS DAY,
Local Intelligence.

ONE OF THE DEMoCRArs.-A rather sir
GUAR political proceeding has happened in
the happy Democratic family in the preaen,
campaign, which is, that Mr.. Martin Fin.
nerty, leading Democratic light of the
third ward, has fallen from grace in the old
time ranks, according to three newspapers
who profess to be anything but Republican.
Mr.. Firnerty, citizen who has labored
hard and successfully to make fortune for
himself and family, had the hardihood to
act independently of those who set them
selves up, not only as censors, but as COM
manders. and consequently be must be
punished 70. his temerity. The Bulletin
assailed him in q sarcastic article, talking
to him as if he were a full blcoded Repub.
lican, therefore guilty of heinous offense.
Mr.. Finnerty talked back, i" but his talk
was decidedly weak, as defense in print.
and, of course, he was worsted. 1t was
charged that he kept "barrelhouse" where
vile whisky was sold or given to voters for
the purpose of influencing the next cleo
ton, which was poor argument for the
great unwsshed to use, at least in this
instance. Why or how Mr.. Finnerty
should have earned the enmity Of
his political cohorts is not understood by
Republicans, but the latter are willing to
look on and see both sides fight until moth
ing but claws and tails are left. Mr.. Fin
nerty has many warm and close friends,
but of course he can not stand up against
public opinion, as expressed in the Times,
Bulletin and Democrat, without sacrificing
something. Mr.. Finnerty's wealth will
enable him to talk back" to his opponents
long after they take back seats. The as
sertion that he keeps barrelhouse can not
be proved; it is true he owns q building in
which barrelhouse is kept, but be rents
it the same as some more aristocra.io mem
bers of his party rent houses for vile pur-
poses on Bourbon and Dauphire streets
Personally Mr.. Finnerty is kind hearted
gentleman, and We suggest to him that
there is q good opening for him in the Re-
publican ranks, where his individual worth
will be appreciated.

ton discharges its electricity, and being
then negative itself is again repelled and
sent back THUS alternately passing from
one rood to the other. They have no
steam cars there; the people love life too
well 10 blow themselves to atoms by steam

answer their purpose far better And the
time is coming when the people Of the
outside world will learn wisdom from
them, and steam no longer bo the motive
power on their railroads and the fright.
ening whistle bo no more hoard, and be
only dream Of the past.
In this happy inner world electricity
was the main spring of every movement,
from the heavy railroad car oven down
to the daucing toys OF the little girls
playhouse. The boy needed no stick and
string to spin his top, and the girl, as she
glided backwards and forwards in her
swing, could continue her motion as long
as she chose to touch with ber foot the
electric post towards which oil her move
ments were directed.
And the most important Of all was
the fact ihat all their matrimonial ALI.
ancos were made under the influence Of
electrical attraction aud repulsion. No
matrimonial strilcs were ever heard Of
there, and no divorces were ever known
to take place, for the very good reason
that no two persons unsuitable to each
other could come together. Two indi.
viduals whose organs Of combativeness
were highly developed were always found
to be charged with positive electricity,
and consequently on the principle that
similar poles repel,' they could not come
together, not even near enough to receive
mutual kiss. On this principle no un.
happy unions could be formed. When.
ever young man took fancy to young
woman he had only to approach within a
certain distance Of the object of his dc.
sire, when, if antagonistic principles or
unlovcly traits Of character were alike
existent in both, a mutual repuson i'm.
mediately took place, and they were re-
peled from each other by an irresistible
impulse. But when one was positive and
the other negative they balanced efch
other and a mutual attraction took place.
Whether this was electric love, platonic
love OR magnetic love is Of little consc.
quence, since the results were always
happy, 1t was love that did not end
with the honeymoon, but, like the magnet,
the more of its influence it impaired the
more ready it was to impart."
Such was the substance Of the commu.
nicaton; and although it may not con
vince the reader OF the correctness oi
Capt. Symmes startling theory" or OIL
the truth of modern spiritualism, still il

He was very pale and took no notice
Of Fairjohn, but crossing the store stood
beside jesse.
"You love that man best, even now
he said You'd rather have fouud

She looked up into his face with a
piteous glance.

He grew winter still.
III told you a man would lose his soul

Then he plunged his hand into his

a red seal lay in Jessie's lap.
"I've made you happy and now will

then the door closed behind him, and he
was gone.
But jesse tore open tho letter and nov.

And these were the words she read, old
Foirjohn reading over her shoulder:

And so Jessie's letter came at last.
And as John Fairjohn looked into her
face he saw how angels look in Paradise.
And Job. Job was found drowned in

perhaps, for she and her boy were On
