WING LES.

AS 1 loitered through the village,
saw children at their play,
Blowing bubbles in the sunshine
From penny pipe Of clay. a-
had passed them with greeting,
But their gladness charmed me SO,
That turned to watch the bubbles
Sailing through the summers glow.
Though they seemed not half so brilliant
AS in boyhood had blown,
When the smallest of my bubbles
Held rainbow of its own;
Yet my little friends grew merry
AS each tinted air7blown toy,
8 Floated upward, and the baby q,
Clapped its chubby hands for joy.
And the girl-her arms outstretching,
AS If begging them TO stay
Said, "I'm sorry, oh, SO sorry,
They so quickly fade away 70
But her brother looked quite manly,
AS he shouted with delight,
at is easy, very easy, lgz,..= =..-=
To blow others justas bright"
And he blew with such good fortune
That, before his task was done,
You might count score of bubbles
Floating gaily in the sun.
Then her eyes with pleasure sparkled,
AS the crystal phantoms played,
And she quite forgot her sorrow
That they each SO quickly fade.
And she passed where was resting
In the shadow of a yew,
And in tones of laughing wonder, cried
"Can't you blow bubbles, too?'.
AS / knew not how to answer,
There left them at their play,
Blowing bubbles in the sunshine,
From penny pipe of clay.

AL interesting case, involving certain
issues growing out of the late peculiar
institution" of the South, is on trial in
Richmond, Virginia Caroline Jackson
George and her children, Lee and Ade-
laide, colored persons of this city, claim
an estate worth $4,000 by virtue of an al
legged marriage with William o. George,
deceased, who was prominent citizen
of Richmond. Mrs. jackson or George
was slave of Mr., George, who brought
her into the free States aud set her free,
subsequent to which 1t is claimed that he
married her in order to legiumize their
children. Ex-Alderman Mints of this
city, one of the witnesses for the plain
tiffs, claims to have performed the mar
riaga ceremony, and there is good deal
of correspondence adduced to show the
marital relations between the deceased
and his manumitted slave. The defend
ants have a high social standing in Rich
mOnd, and have employed able counsel
to resist the claim of the Philadelphians.

DEWITT TALMAG GE ON INGERSOLL.
From His Friday Night Lecture.
The mirthful event of the week, and
the joke of the present national admins
tration, is the appointment by President
Hayes of Col. Ingersoll as minister to
Germany, the birth place of modern inf
deity, Col. Ingersoll has been filling
the land with blatant infidelity, and has
recently been making an assault in be-
half of the memory of Tom Paine, and
against the Rev. DR.. Prime, the Nestor
of religious journalism: and on the stage
of our own Academy of Music took the
liberty of giving the opinion that God
was great ghost! and in addition to his
book derisive of christianity, has been
delivering his lecture entitled can Hon.
est God the Noblest Work of Man!'
President Hayes is a Methodist, and of
course accepts in their heartiest mean
ing the truths of christianity. and now
he sends Ingersoll to Germany. the nest
of modern skepticism-a nomination so
fit to be made that it has kept me smil-
ing all the week. / do not know any
other land to which Ingersoll could be
sent appropriately, unless TO the Fejee
Islands or kingdom of Dahomey. We
hope he will accept the nomination., as
our own country can stand it, and Ger
many will feel no shock. D! shades OF
| Richter and Schiller and Strauss, come
out and meet him on the gangway of the
steamer before he touches the wharf. Lei
him be sworn in, not on the Bible-he
does not believe word of iv-but on the
back OF brand new copy of Faust oil
some German fairy tale. We are dispos.
ed to think that the President intended
the nomination as a long stroke of hu
NOR; at any rate SO we accept it.

sToUGHToN.

From the N. Y. Sun. ..J..IaI. .f .
Yesterday morning Mr.. Hayes's Min
lister to Russia came out in the ''World"
with complaint of i'll usage at the hands
of Judge Black. We can effer Mr.. Stou-
ghton no comfort except what he will
find in the general judgment that he has
got just what he deserves. We do not
take any pleasure in this foolish mans
pain. We do not even exult in the COM
plete exp of the fraud by which the
Hayes men mangaged to get the nation
into their hands. But we insist that they
have themselves to blame for this last
crushing blow. When Mr.. Evarts found
that no fair honest, or decent answer
co1ld be made to the straight, clear, and
lucid exposition which Judge Black gave
of the great Fraud, why did he not let
it rest there? Why did he put the busi-
ness of reply into such hands as those
of Stoughton? Or, il he wrote the lame
and impotent thing himself, as many
suspect, was itnot cruel to make Mr.. Stou
ghton father it? To be sure, the cat s.
paw is rewarded for trying to take these
chestnuts out of the fire. But does the
mission to Russia pay for such a scorch-
ing? If either one of the other had been
only little more prudent, they would
not have attempted to defend a crime
that is indefensible! Certainly they
would not have tried to raise another is
sue with Judge Black on his opinions
and acts of sixteen years ago. When they
could not deny that Hayes had been
counted in by fraud. it was RANK folly to
go back on Buchanan's message and
Black opinions, for there Judge Black
has the immense advantage of under
standing the whole subject, while his
opponents, if not utterly ignorant, are
driven to the necessity of coming charg-
es so easily refuted that they become
absurd,
