A BAD STORY ON GEN. BABcocK.-
The House committee on military affairs
have sent for persons and papers to in
investigate serious charge against Gen.
Babcock printed in Utica IN. ~ pa
per. The charge in substance is that in
1870 resident of New York wrote let
ter to an army officer of high rank wish
ing to have brought about certain ap-
pointment. He offered $4,000 If it
could be effected. The officer addressed
was quite indignant at the proposition
made to bribe him, and came to Wash
ington with the intention of laying the
matter before the President. At the
White House he communicated the OBJ
iect of his visit to Gen. Babcock. The
latter said he would attend to the matter,
and requested the letter written to him.
This was turned over to the general, and
the officer thought no more of it until he
was subsequently astounded upon ascer-
tanning that the appointment sought for
by the New York party had actually been
obtained. The attention of the commit
tee was called to the matter by the Hon.
Scott Lord, of the Utica district, and it is
proposed to thoroughly examine into it.

Well, there was afather-in-law to be
won as we'll as the girl, and the father
in-law, had to be carrid first, like. the
outer parallel in line of defence. The
father.in-law was immersed in business.
He hadn't much time to think OF family
matters, but at last it occurred to him
that Mark had become very frequent at
the house and that his objective point
seemed to be the daughter. .
So he called Mark aside one day and
said "Mr. Twain, you.seem to be pay
ing attention to my daughter. Now we
ali like you pretty well, you know, and
we are of course all acquainted with your
reputation as literary man. Still, In
other respects you are a stranger to- us,
and some references as to your character
and standing are desirable"
"That's very reasonable. said Marx.
:'That's very natural and paternal. It's
just what I should do were in your po-
sition. I guess I can give: you some
names that will satisfy you. Now, there's

write to them. 1 guess they'll lie for me.

bun desc dainty little fingers to cook
while ole Chloe of Buckley Ibis. If you
can't git nobody else, Chloe will cum in
spite of Bob and de Yankees. Thank
you, chile fur de Christmas you send me.
I gwine to keep dat rufied apron to bury
me in. I tell you de truth, Missile, ole
Chloe's heart is fateful." A glittering
tear-drop on the wrinkled, black face,
stood surety for the sincerity of the SIM
ple-hearted old negro. 7
"Thank you, Maum Chloe, for cooking
this nice dinner. 1t is the best present
you could have given US, for nobody's
cooking can ever eat like Maum Chloe's
of Berkley Hall. You are getting old
now, and I expect Bob thinks you ought
to rest; but whenever I want help 1 will
know where to go for it. I am so glad
to see you in the old house once more.
We are friends again, Maum Chloe, and
now don't let strangers. with their de-
ceiving words, separate the friends OF
long ago."
Old Chloe's heart was melted by her
sweet young lady's gentleness and conde-
scension, but Manner was proud and
overbearing; she had held the RESPONSE
BILE position of nurse in the Maham fam
lily for two generations, and had been
treated with the distinction always con-
ferred upon negroes who filed such stu
ations in Southern families. Her heart
had undoubtedly been moved by the
Christmas gifts of her youngest nursing,
whose fair, pure, baby face she remem-
bered to have pressed so often to her
bosom; whose sweet baby smiles and
beauty had thrilled her heart with proud
pleasure. But she went up to the Hall
proud still, and full of bitterness to pass
the compliments of the season, "be-
cause" as she said, 'it was proper-ike
and genteel." Manner, had been one of
the high professors of the lowly Naza-
rene among the Degroes of Berkley Hall.
She had always been honest and faithful
to her owners, and the Difference and
love they deemed her due, had blinded
her kind master and mistress to the truth
that her religion was too like that of the
proud Pharisee's: "Thank God 1 am not
as other men are, and when the day of
trial came she was found wanting. The
tempter spoke, and she listened, and her
ears drank greedily the honied, subtle
words that fell from his lips. Great
swelling words they were-words from
which sweet humility would have shrank
abashed. But pride, self-love and ignor-
ance echoed them loudly, until they
yielded the bitter fruits of envy, wrath
and strife. And so it came to pass that
fidelity and love fled from the heart of
the old nurse. Marion and her mother
were grieved to be disappointed in a
servant so loved and trusted, but no
reproaches fell from their lips. "For
past services we will deal kindly with
her." they said.
That was not "merry Christmas" but
it was one of quiet happiness. Forbear-
ing and self-denying love had lightened
the load of "daily life"

THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.

It is known that the fire originated in
the store occupied by A. j. Greeber, but
from what cause mas not yet been deter
mined. 1t was rumored on the streets
that it was the work of an incendiary,
and some persons seemed to suspect Gree
Der himself. He was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Lieut.. Shrewsbury of the
detective force, and lodged in the office
to await an examination. In an inter
view with the reporter of the Neaos and
Courier, Greeber stated that the first init
nation he had of the fire was upon wax
ing about half-past 8 o'clock and finding
the place filled with smoke. He says he
retired about II o'clock on Sunday night
and that he had no fire on the premises
His stock of goods consisted of dry goods
clothing, shoes, and leaf tobacco, and
was insured for 81 200.
