About Babies.

The following paragraph will be read
with pleasure by all who W and love
babies. 1t is no less admirable as a de.
scription ola baby than as an example
of a keen sense of proper place at which
to put a full stop:
Did you ever watch a dear little baby
waking from its morning nap? 1t is one
of the prettiest sights in the world.
There is a crib with its small proportions
and snow-white drapery that covers
something, outlined, round and plump.
There is nothing to reveal what it is, not
the slightest movement of the pillowed
whiteness that is visible, no sound to in
dictate the keenest actual life until the
hour hand of the clock that stands SEN
tinel, like yourself, has twice made its
circuit. Then there is a slight pulsirg
of the white drapery, a pink, tremulous
hand, fair as a rosebud, is thrust out
and from the nest thus broken into APP
pears a round, diminutive face, with wide
open eyes that have not much speculation
in them yet.
Soon, however, they cease to stare, and
become questioning, serious, as if won
dering what kind of world it is they open
upon; and the head lifts itself Just a
little, and two snow-white feet stand up
spasmodically, with simultaneous move
ment, each toe of which has an attendant
dimple. Bat the head is too hesvy-it
falls back on the pillow with its own
sweet weight, the hair all damp and
.golden-the cheeks peachy-the mouth
Pouted as it the angels kissed it in its
dreams. A first lingering go-o-o comes
from its rosy depths, sweeter than any
birds song, for it has a spirit tone, and
yet retains a thrill of its native skies.
The chubby hands are lifted i~mploringly,
per5uasively-the baby is awake and
ceases to be an angel.

Catholic Colonists in North Carolina.

A Raleigh On. c. dispatch says; A
lively interest is telt here in the coming
Roman Catholic immigration from Phlla-
delphia, Boston and ether points. one
colony has purchased 10000 acres OF lana
in Henderson county--the UNITS
region, where the soil is itch and the
people honest and free. Agents are
looking for more land. The Catholic
colonies will be novelties in the western
section. Catholics are few and scattered
there, and churches and schools and tao
tories will be erected where they have
never been seen before. Henderson
county is about forty miles from South
Carolina, and about seventyfrom the Ten
nessee line. The labor of the whites who
emigrate here will be appreciated. The
color d population in the western coun-
ties is not one-third so large as in the
cotton region.

A Fatal Fly.

The French papers are devoting
some portions of their scientific record
just now to a terrible epidemic which
has broken out at the French penal
settlement of Noumea, in New Gale
donia. A number of cattle having
been attacked with epidemic fever,
under its influence rushed into the for
est where they persisted entang' ed
amid the interlacing vines and close
tree trunks. The flies that fed on the
flesh OF these poor creatures returned
to the settlement, where their bite
has proved invariably fatal to human
beings and animals alike. The sting
is said at first to cause no inconven-
fence, but a small pustule soon forms,
filed with a brewnish watery fluid
which speedily assumes the form of a
hard infamed swelling, accompanied
by intolerahle itching and intense dart
ing pains. Death usually ensues in
from twenty-four to forty-eight hours

drawn, sprang between them, and tod
Sitting-Bull to put away his pistol;
Turning to Sitting-Bull he said "

A Mysterious transformer.

Grasshopper wonders will never cease.
Yesterday, about one o'clock, a hopper,
one of the green and yellow-striped
species, flew through a window into the
laundry of Philip Smith, 1902 Washing
ton avenue, and alighted on the window.
sill. On examination the insect was
discovered to have in its claws a silver
half dollar, which it continued to hold
firmly while seated on the sill. The
hopper was SPEEDILY captured by the
daughter Of Mr.. Smith and the coin
taken away. The latter bore the date of
1876, and was so bright and new in APP
pearance as to indicate that it had not
been in active circulation. Where the
hopper got the halt dollar, or for what
purpose it was transporting it around
was, of course, only a matter of specula-
lation. The circumstance is a curious
one, and its truth is duly attested by
Mr.. Smith AMI daughter, and Mrs. Dough-
erty, Mrs. Calvert and Katie Mulligan,
laundry women. The hopper is a mon

Fight for Life With n Mad Dog.

A fearful encounter with a mad dog
occurred inl ~Bridgewater, n. H., on
Thursday last. On the afternoon of
that day a large mastiff entered the
house of Widow Huckins and sprang at
the throat of a young woman, a daugh-
ter OF Mrs. Huckins. She threw up her
arm and the dog bit her in the right
hand. The mother, who was in another
room, fastened to her assistance, when the
dog sprang at her, biting her in the same
way. The dog her ran down the road
to the house of Gilman Fletcher. Here
a small pet dog was tied in front of the
house. The mastiff sprang upon him
and killed him. Mr.. Fletcher, who was
the only one at home, raised a window
to ascertain what the trouble was, when
the dog bit him in the left arm, making
an ugly wound. Mr.. Fletcher then
seized a pair of large tongs and stepped
to the door, when the dog sprang at his
throat. A blow from the tongs Knocked
him back, but he instantly rallied and
made another spring, with the same re.
suit. Thus the fight continued for a
long time, the dog becoming more infu-
rated at every blow, when finally he
succeeded in driving his fangs into
Fletcher's right arm, tearing the flesh
into threads. 1t was now a fight for life,
and by a desperate effort the dog was given
a blow that partially stunned him.
This was promptly followed up, and the
dog soon dispatched.

THREE DESTINIES.

Three roses nod aud talk
Across a garden walk
One, lifting up her head,
Clad all In damask red,
Cries, gayly, In her pride,
"To-night, full far and vide,
My beauty shall be seen,
Adjoining Beauty's queen"
"And |" the bltish-roae cries,
"shsll be the enyied prize;
A lover shall convey,
Before the end of day,
Unto a maiden fair,
And she will kiss and wear
Ny bushes in her breast;
There | shall sleep and rest"
"And L." the white rose sighs-
before the sunshine dies,

Within a graves dark night;
But not In vain my bloom,

Or helped to soothe and bless
A mourner's loneliness"

Compromise.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-By mutual
agreement the Senate committee on elec'
tons and the committee on powers and
duties OF the House, in counting the elec-
toral vote, have decided not to 60 into an
examination of papers and accounts OF
the leaders of either political party. In
consequence of this agreement Ellis,
President OF the Third National Bank OF
New York, will not be required to produce
an abstract of the account of Tilden at
the Third National Bank, while Chandler
will be excused from appearing before
the latter committee with his account
books, papers, etc. This harmonious
agreement of the two committees was
brought about through the exertion OF
Senator Barnum and Mr.. Ellis.
In tho Electoral Commission.
Tho Electoral Commission met at l; all
members present. The President laid the
papers received from the two houses Re:
fore the commission, and on motion OF
Abbott they were ordered printed: Inc
papers were then read by the Secretary.
Judge Clifford asked who appeared as
directors on the two Sides
Senator Kelly announced that himself
and Jencks would appear as directors to
certificates No. and3.
Senator Sargent announced Senator
Mitchell and Mr.. Lawrence would appear
as directors to certificate No. 2.
Kelly asked an order for the production
of the commission and resignation OF
Watts from the Postoffice Department,
and also that Mitchell and Watts might be
subpenacd as witnesses.
Clifford asked if the witnesses were
within reach.
Mitchell said they were both in the
room.
Orders in both cases were granted, and
at the request of Senator Kelly, who was
TO open for the DIRECTORS, a recess
of half an hour was taken, to allow him
to procure the necessary books, etc.
