A YIRGINIAN IN NEW YORK.

The New York correspondent of the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican writes:
"Roger Pryor is pegging away very
quietly In his law office, with increasing
business, though 1t is not of very con-
spicuous character nor very remunera-
tive, l imagine, for he does great deal
of work for poor people; but he sticks so
closely to his business that compara-
lively few people know that he is here,
and one of the most characteristic rep
resentatives OF the Southern statesman.
He is IL, constant COMMUNICATION with
leading Southern men, and knows the
true inwardness of the Southern feeling
and policy in regard TO scaling the State
debts. He is an intense anti-repudia-
ZIONIST, and the very thought OF a thing
so dishonorable makes him shiver with
rage. But he is fully persuaded that the
Southern people are dete mined to cut
down their obligations materially, aud
to throw overheard the carpet-bag
debts altogether, if possible. He thinks
that when the Federal Government re.
qured the Southern people to repudiate
their Confederate war debts it taught
them lesson IN reputation which they
are now disposed to better. The public
men OF the South have not done their
duty in frowning down this feeling and
teaching the people better policy, to
say nothing OF honesty. Pryor is the
soul of honor, is chock.full Of the old
fashioned Virginia chivalric sentiment,
and altogether too high-minded and
large.thoughted to mix himself with ouI
local politics. And all the Democrats
who know him and are not politicians
agree that he ought to be in Congress-

prosperous trade. In March last an
experimental shipment Of horses was
made, and, Notwithstanding prejudice
was found to exist among the English
against American horses, the animals
were disposed of quite readily. They
rapidly grew in favor, and 1t was soon
discovered that they not only possessed
all the good qualities OF the British
horses, but that they could be pur-
chased much cheaper. Since that time
weekly shipments have been regularly

mand such good prices that the profits
fully cover such losses as naturally re-

AN OFFICIALS EXPERIENCES.

The Sacramento, California, Union
tells this story: ga day or two ago a
peace officer of Yolo County, who re-
sides not a thousand miles from Davis
vile, came to Sacramento on matter
Of business. Early next morning, to
pass time away, he walked to the depot
to witness the departure OF the trains.
From the depot he went out upon tire
wharf near the foot Of j street to take a
look at The river.
"North OF j street the wharf 1s in a
rather diIapidated condition., and it SO
happened that the gentleman from YOlO
put his foot upon a plank which gave
way beneath his weight, and down he
went into the hOrrid mess aud soft mud
and slush beneath. How far he would
have sunk he has no idea, but about
TWO feet beneath the surface he lit
astride OF log, which was lying
pointed out into the stream, and the
force OF his fall was such that he sid
along the friendly support, like a boat
being launched from the ways, finally
being brought to a stop by collision
with an upright pile.
"He climbed out Of the trouble as well
as ne could. He said that his fall put
MIN in mind OF the experience he had
when small boy. Men were engaged
In shingling barp, and he and otnsr
youths went up to see how they were
getting along. He got tired and sat
down on loose shingle. A moment
later the sningle commenced sliding
down the roof, every second going faster
and faster, and before he could say
Jack Robinson he had been shot OF the
main building down upon the root Of an
addition, and from that down upon the
back of an old bull"

The Story Of u Waif and
Astray.

AGO TO No. 22i Common street, said a
friend to the local reporter of the Picayune
yesterday, land you will get first class sen.
.ation.' on went the newsgarherer with
the velocity Of an arrow shot from bow,
and ten minutes afterwards he rang the bell
Of the house indicated. The house is occu.
pied..by a Mrs Virgins, who resides there
with her daughter. and by her was related
the following story:
On the 10Th of June, 1877, a tall. slim man,
giving his narle rs James Mnnson. from
Chronicle, Ala, called on Mrs. Virgins, and
asked her if she would take charge OF an in
FAINT child few days old, as the mother was
unable to care for it, offering to give her S25
a month until he again called for the babe.
Mrs. Virgins, after inquiring if the child
had, been chrisiened. etc., agreed to take
charge of the infant and n written contract
was drawn up, Mrs. Virgins agreeing to
furnish clothes, etc, for 'John Allen" the
name stipulated in the contract After few
momen,s thin, delicate looking little male
child was brought to her and LETT together
with S25, the first payment. Mrs. Virgins,
from the delicate appearance of the infant,
thought it would not live, and fosiered il with
all the care possible. Though the little fel.
slowly. On the 18th of July, Mrs. Virgins
received a letter signed "Munson," stating
tina, the writer had not been able to 90 to
Mobile as he had Intended, and was short of
money, but he sent her So
On the 9TH Of August, 1877, another letter
dated from Mobile came with S., and third
with s., again dated Mobile, October l.,
1877. Since then Mrs. Virgins has heard
no more from "Munson." Having become
quite attached to the little baby, and finding
no record Of his birth or christening, she made
inquiries and learned the following facts:
On June, 1877, man and woman of very
respectable appearance and good manners
registered at Cassidys Hotel and remained
there for short period.
The lady being about to be confined,
physician was summoned. He advised the
lady TO seek apartments elsewhere, as the
hotel was too close, owing to the warm
weather. She did so, and a few days later
was delivered Of a male child. The physi-
clan, aflsr some time, finding the mother and
child doing well, ceased to visit them, inform.
ing the man that his visits were no longer
necessary, and shortly afterward sent his
bill to the supposed father, bot the birds had
flown, where no one could tell, and il was
only lately that il was discovered that before
leaving they had intrus,ed Mrs. Virgins with
the child and abandoned it. From other cir.
eurnstances it is presumed that the pair de.
paired in the direction Of Mobile.
Mrs. Virgins expressed the intention to
adopt the wsif--Picayune.
