THE PooE.-Cinthy KurtZ, oversee. OF
Poor, reported that the expenses for the
past six months amounted TO $950.74 against
sl060.91 last year. There are now over 100
paupers on tie city, and but for the cease
less vigilance of the officer the number
would be doubled. Last month he relieved
the city of nine of It's 2aupers, and those
to whom he gives assistance always need or
deserve it. An officer who in six months
saves to the city more than his annual SAL
airy, who performs the duties heretofore dis
charged by two and does it better than
both, is seldom found in these days, and if all
official trusts were as faithfully discharged
as that imposed on Cinthy Kurtz, there
would be no cause for complaint, and when
people don't complain the millennium isn't
far off

STUART'S FAME.-We ask careful peru

from the pen of Col. john S. Mosby, vindi-
eating the action OF Gen. Jeb. Stuart in the
Gettysburg campaign. The failure of the
Confederate arms in Pennsylvania. is per.
haps the saGdest page Of Southern history,
and recently has elected an animated dis
cussion from the pens Of distinguished Con-
federate officers, none Of which, we think
have been more able and pointed than Col.
Mosby's. Many OF the followers of Stuart
were from this section OF the country, and a
more gallant and clivalrous band never drew
sabre. To them, especially, the article will
be Of particular interest, not only as record
ing an unwritten, page, but as the means of
bringing afresh to their memories those
scenes which tried mems souls, and Of vim
dicating to the world the fame of the match

the last trump can wake to glory again.
