arose from the refusal of Mrs. Fin
negan, who had deserted her hus-
band for life of shame, to give up
their child to his keeping. On her
refusal, he drew q revolver, placed
it to her ear and fred, and immedi-
ately after shot himself in the ear.
The charges, which had been in the
pistol for years, proved inadequate
to infiict fatal wounds, and both will
recover. Finnegan is man over
sixty years old. His wife is about
half his age.
SAN FRANcIsco, Feb. 25.---About
l:3O this morning Owen Conlon, a
longshoreman, was killed in the gro
Gerry of Schultz Bros, corner of
Battery and Green streets, by an
other longshrreman named Owen
Growney. The parties had been
disputing during the evening on po-
litical and religions topics, end both
had been drinking, though not to
excess.
SAN FRANcIsco, Feb. 25.---John
r. Robb, assistant secretary of the
San Francisco Stock Exchange, is
discovered to be defaulter to the
amount of about So. 900. It was his
duty to collect fines and amounts
payable for listing stocks. Most of
his populations seem to have been
from the latter fund. The officers
of the board reposed the fullest con-
fidence in him. and are somewhat at
a loss to account for his action, as
he was not known to have been en-
gagged in speculations or fast life.
He has, however, had sickly and
expensive family, on his hands,
which is thought to have led him to
the act. Robb is reported to have
left the city, but that is not certain.

Virginia vas murdered before thi
pair opened the door. Very mucf
surprised were they to see, instead o
the policeman they expected to find
very tall, handsome young man, :
stranger, in undress navy uniform
, Fred. now that his part Of the fun
wss over, began to roar, and Virgins
took him up in her arms, while the
three gentlemen, assisted by the real
SImOn-purs policeman, opened the
closet and secured the prisoner.
Within the next fifteen minutes the
other servants had returned-for the
| burglary had taken place before
eleven o'clock--and Alice, having re-
covered from her swoon, was carried
to the ststiOn-house.
| I don't know how Langley and Vir-
ginis were occupied till my return /;
but, when Frank thrust his latch kew
into the door, Virginia few out Of the
library and tried, with few Ineo-
berent sentences, to prepare me for
seeing something. The consequence
was that when pushed the door open
in 3 very bewildered state of mind
and saw Langley smiling at me was
terrified almost out OF my senses, and
came near fainting.
To the best of my knowledge the
household sat up nearly all night,
though finally, after I had heard the
whole story, been speechless over Vir-
ginIa's bravery and hugged Fred
now asleep in the srm-chair-Fran
dragged me on 20 bed.
1 don't know that Langley and
Virginia sat there till morning, but
certainly the first persons saw upon
coming down to breakfast were them
selves on the Identical lounge where /
had left them.
Langley's story is too long q one to
be told here. Suffice it to say that,
being on deck when the IscUnlseh
sunk, be had been able to strike out
from the sinking ship, and, under
cover Of the smoke and roar of battle,
to swim ashore. There, however, he
was taken prisoner, and kept IN close
confinement for several months,
finally making his escape. Coming
direct to Frank for Intelligence before
presenting himself to his family, he
had stopped to light cigar under the
gaslight, where Virginia had mis-
taken him for 8 policeman. He had
known her instantly, aud probably
only her fright and agitation prevent
ed her from recognising his voice,
which, as be miscbievously told her,
he did not disguise In the least.
Alice and her accompliee were iden-
titled by the police as old offenders.
The woman bad carried on a syste-
matte pilfsring at the Temples, and
was an accomplished hypocrite. To
my intense qualification the pair were
sentenced for a full term in Sing
Sing.
Langley and Virginia were married
very soon after. Frank gave away
the lovely little bride, whose fair,
girlish bloom had come back to her,
and who, under the influence OF love,
seemed a different woman from the |
pale, sad creature who had moved so |
quietly about the house.
They idOlize each other, and / think |
have quite forgiven Grandma Chich-
ester and poor Horace Kent. Fred |
has always been q great pet with his
aunt for his bravery on the night Of |
the attempted burglary.
Between Fred's bossting and my
sly teasing, poor Frank will never be |
allowed to forget his instrumentAlity |

tressure."-N Y Mercury.

TIE EAeLEASD THE ROOSTER.

A rooster was growing
With all HIS might,
He thought he had won
In q very hard fight;
But an eagle swooped down
On the chicken OF sin:
And the Enquirer wept
As 1t took Its fowl IN.
The rooster got sick,
And its feelings were hurt
As It gazed with remorse
On grim bloody shirt,
And some tall rebel claims,
It can't be denied,
Like spectres stood around
When the other rooster died.
Then the Eagle arose.
And scared very high,
And screamed with delight
Away in the sky;
In triumph looked down
On his Democrat foe,
While the Enquirer murmured.
'T told you So"
The rooster died hungry,
And after defeat,
His nesh was 50 tough
Twas not fit to eat.
So his carcass was left
By an old empty "barI,"
Which Slippery Sam
Had used in the quarrel.
Then the desperate gamblers.
A pow-wow proposed,
And declared that the rooster
Was badly buIldozed.
And the Copperhead papers
All set up a howl.
And said that their party
Was "out on a FOUL"
They dIs-ellsssd their ''bad luck"
AS they looked to the sky,
And swore that the Eagle
Was "out on a n.y."
And the bird still floats
Der the land OF the brave,
Where the Star-Spapgled Banner
Forever shall wave.
Sail on, ,everemore,
Victorious bird
You fight for the right,
And "win" Is the word
You have fought good fight,
The battle Is done,
The rascals are beaten
And Hayes has won.
