med for BE says, replying 20 that part o.
: our article Of the pre'iouS week, wherein we ez'
, pressed a willingness to wait until the audit is
completed, ''dc not cause us TO wait until your
Auditors make a report, for life is zoo shert for
that" meaning, we suppose, that the Auditors
are either very slow, or that they intend to
''nurse tie job" and prolcng it as much as pos
sible. Now the truth is that Mr. Crowther, a
Democrat, is most anxious 70 finish the audit at
the earliest possible moment, ana that his COL
league Mr. Wheeler, Republican, is also dill
gently at work with the same object in view
To the ether portion of the Journal mans article,
asking for ''the figures, we invite bis attention
to another article in this weeks issue, which, we
think, ought to satisfy him, and which will
knock his "baIance sheet higher than Donald

A INnobby Little Couple.

Two of the smallest children in the
world for their ages, which are twelve
wears and twelve years and two months,
respectively. were introduced TO the fac.
ul,y and students of Jefferson Medical
College recently. Senorita Lucia Zir-
anto a sprightly brunette, is fraction
under twenty inches high, aud weighs
five pounds in her elegant street cos
tune, which includes complete female
parb. from a bonnet down TO the mod
ern gaiter. the latter being less than
three inches long 1t was explained
that she was born at San Carlos, near
the city of Vera Cruz, Mexico, aud her
parents were both large and healthy
persons. She talks Spanish fuently,
and understands smattering of the
English tongne.-Ceneral Mite will be

", New York, has parents bearing the
name of Finn, the father, who accom-
panies the diminutive, weighing III
pounds and the mother l35 pounds.
At bis birth the General weighed IA

and pantalO0ns, white vest and white
neckle. During his visit TO the college
the little fellow talked fuently ana was
quite active, and when not treading OH
her lady-ship's dress, was bnsily engaged
in casting aticctionate glances at her.
In presenting the llipulians TO the ad-
mring assemblage, Professor Gc.chrl
said he had brought the couple there 10

scum, at Ninth and Arch, as some
thing wonderful even in this wonderful
age. lie explained that he had made n
careful examination Of the subjects and
found them intelligent, healthy and per.
fec:ly formed. The heart OF either said
he, is not larger than an ordinary sized
hickory nut, and the liver in eqnal pro-
portion, and yet they perform their func.
tions regularly aud perfectly as those Of
fully developed men and women. Their
brains, he added, correspond with the
size OF their bodies, and their intelligence
surpasses their size. At the conclusion

He was a seedy looking individual.
and rs he stood upon the corner gazing
wistfuIly at the disappearing form Of a

dispair in his attitude which was very

was something else; but however this
may be. the miIdlooking party stopped,

"PooR RASDAIL." readers, no
doubt, from our frequent re ference in
the past to the "Rev" Z. Randall, will
not be surprised to read the following,
which we clip from the Baltimore
American, Of the 5th inst:-"Dur!ng
the last year a man named Edward
Randall, from Martinsburg, West Vir.
ginia, has been travelling extensively
through Maryland aud Southern Penn
sylvsnia preaching in the open air. He
called himself reformed States prison
bird, and told the story of his convic-
ton for forgery. his sentence to three
years imprisonment at the Moundsville,
West Va, peniteutiary, aud his con-
finement and subsequent release. He
claimed to be Methodist, and to be
working under the auspices and by the
direction of the Methodist Episcopal
Conference, but he was rot recognized
by the preachers of that denomination,
nor was he permitted TO speak from any
pulpit His board bills were frequent
ly left unpaid, aud the evil reputation
he attained eliminated last fall in Frost
burg, Md, where for his confidence
games and swindling he was rotten
egGed and driven out of town, on ac-
count OF the affair being published at
the time in The American. Since that
time he has kept very quiet, and had
in fact not been heard from in this sec
ton of the country. lie turned up,
however, yesterday morning in the city,
and at an early hour visited the whole
sale boot and shoe house of Messrs.
Carroll, Adams & Co., 3lS West Ralti-
more street, of which firm he had some
previous knowledge, as Mr. John +.
Staub, one of the members of the firm,
resided at one time in Martinsburg.
Having ascertained that Mr.. Staub was
not in, he introduced himself to some of
the gentlemen in the counting room and
produced a forged letter from the
Methodist Conference, which stated
that the bearer was authorized 10 collec.
books and money for the aid of prison
ers, and asked for small donation. 1t
was given aud Randall left, aud after
coming the same game on other firms
in the city disappeared. He had called
previously upon the Rev. Mr. Gardener,
OF the Eastern Avenue NJ E. Church,
and obtained some money from him.
Randall is in no way authorized TO
collect money, and, in short, is dead
beat of the worst character. In person
he is tall and thin, smoothly shaven,
talks rapidly, and dresses in seedy
black. He is about thirty five OF forty
wears old. '-FIeierick Era,niner.

For the Register.
OUR HEAVENLY HOME.

The fields with flowers are blooming,
They all around us lie
But still my friends we are going
TO the Summer hills on high.
We are vexed with trials and troubles,
Our sorrows with our days Increase
But still my friends we are nearing
The life of eternal peace.
The winds are moaning and blowing,
The frost on many heads is white
But then my friends they are going
To the morning land OF light.
Our golden gains we are losing,
Our hopes are dim with dust,
But what seemeth lost is for using
Where there is no moth nor rust.
Our life is thrice-told story,
That charm no longer lends,
And we hope to gain the glory,
That never fades nor ends.
We stand of our strength forsaken,
And sick Unto death, in sooth,
But out Of the dust we shall waken,
TO life OF immortal youth.
The Winter brings rough weather,
And into the chill and gloom,
We go and we shall gather
Together in heaven-our home.
