through considerable danger and hard
ships in the service. AT one time he
went from General Hurlhut through
Jnhnston's army to Generl Grant at
Wick ~hnrg. He got into the confidence
of Johnston. and undertook to carry a
lot "f percussion caps from him to Penn
hertnn in Eickshurg. He came to Grams
headquarters with the caps. gave Grant
hia dispatches from IIurlbut. showed
him Johnstcn's dispatches 10 Pemherton.
and after having dampened the caps so
that they were useless, he went on
through the lines to- Pemberton in Vicks-
burg. He remained there some days

A Bagatelle.

The investigation into Mr.. Roheson's
contracts reveals the fact that the Cat
tells received on some Of them per
centare of four per cent. This revela-
iiun adds a fresh force TO the famous re-
tort of Senator Randolph at the open
ing of the Jersey Lnnatic Asvlnm last
Autumn. The cost of the building wa-
under discussion, and ex Senator Cattell
said: "(ientlemen, ii's a bagafelle to
this State; its a bagatelle TO either of
our Senators. Senator Randolph
turning toward that gentleman who sat
in an adjacent seat-"can pay it in a
minute bv a check; will he?" All eyes
were turned toward Mr. Randolph. who
instantly rose, and with great delibera-
tion said, looking his interrogator
sqnarely in the face: Had l been in
the Senate in your day, and used your
opportunities in your way. I should
doubtless have been able to draw even a
larger check" The applause that fol-
lowed showed tha. Jerseymen, even then,
knew it to be palpable hit.-[New

The Honse yesterday concurred in the
Silver Bill as it passed the Senate. 1t
authorizes the issue of silver coins of the
denomination of ten, twenty, twenty i've
and fifty cents, in lieu of fractional cur
rency, and provides that "the fractional
currency redeemed under this act pro-
vided for by existing law, the interest to
be computed thereon as in the case of
bonds redeemed under the acts relating
to the sinking fund" The legal tender
provision ia omitted, but the coinage
law Of 1873 makes all silver coins legal
tender for any sum not exceeding FIVE
dollars in one plyment. The twenty
cent piece provided for is a new coinage
II Is questionable whether it should
have been created, with five, ten, and
twenty -fve-cent pieces in circulation
There is no difficulty in making
change" as experience with the fraction
al cnrrencv has shown. 1t only adds to
the variety of change without increas-
ing its nsefnlness.-[ Cincinnati CONNER

A Of Vice.

Last night our %item.hunting reporter
while passing mp Second street, during
the heavy rain, discovered on the pave
ment, near the corner of Washington,
a white girl lying dead.drunk on the
sidewalk, and a white man lying neal
her, using her body as a pillow. Twenty
yards further on, on the north corner of
Washington street, a yellow girl was ~
ing on the sidewalk in a besstly state Of
intoxication. A negro carried the I'M
fortunate and inanimate form Of the
white girl across the street anG left her
on the steps of the Baptist Church; the
white man staggered after and laid down
by her side. Several citizens stopped
zeal the PROSTATE form Of the negro
girl, ana lit matches, thinking she was
dead, but she drove them of with pro-
family and vulgarity, The rain poured
down on the trio who we're too druRk to
seek shelter. A citizen repaired to the
station-house and reported the disgust,
ing sight, Captain Forrest and Detec
tive Smith promptly repaired to the spoI
and had to carry the white girl, who wal
lnsensible from the effects Of liquor, L
the station.hoase. Her white friend wal
also locked up. The negro girl wal
brought to the stAtion.house by the pa
trolmen on the beat. A more demoral
ling ard disgusting sight has seldom
been the misfortune of our reporter tC
witness.

Senior Sebastian, told the officer that the
boy was ut home with his wife, and he
retired. Going to the Eureka Hotel, Le
found the boy in bed with his adoJted
mother, and after reading the writ 20 her
carried him away with him. the case
was brought to trial before Judge OWN
ellie, when it was asserted by the respon-
dent that the mother of the boy had will
lingly parted with him. The Judge gave
the boy into the custody of Mr.. Charles
Sontag, a merchant of San Francisco,
and he is at present being cared for at
that g%entleman's house. Owing to the
absence of some necessary evidence the
