tho songs. The coorng OF The songs, 10 Uorrow from
the psinters terms, WAS very delicate and tho light

BLACKBERRY PRECINCT.
y !. Tlmes.l
Hack berry Precinct is a tor'n in Ne
braska. 1t is not a very large town, and
the inhabitants are rarely visited by the
travelling lecturer, the circus, or any
ot her amusement Of that SORT. They are
thrown on their own resources for anusc-
,nent, and their principal lecreati"ns are
social parties and little "difiicuities' at
the leading "saloons." Not very long
ago blackberry Precinct determined to
indulge in a ball, to which all the citl-
zens OF the place Tith"nt distinction OF
sex or rank should be invited. The lar
rest available house WAS rented for the
! occasion; 81 superb band Of music, consis-
ting OF colored man with a violin WAS
| e ployed, and magnificent supper, of
| which sandwiches and hot whisky were
| the leading features, was provided. Pre-
| parations on so grand a scale had never
before been made for any blackberry Pre-
| cinct ball, and it was expected that the
affair would prove Il ma1ni licent sue
| cess.
| 1t 80 happened that sixteen OF the
youngest and most popular matrons OF
the town we're in the possession OF ha-
| bies under thirteen months OF age. These
ladies were extremely anxious to attend
the ball, but inasmuch as bottlcs-cxcept
of the variety adapted exclusively for
the use of mature citiZens-were not to
be had in blackberry at any price, there
was a practical difficulty in leaving the
babies at home in a hungry and mother
less state during The entire night. In
this emergency, % man Of rare inventive
gcnius, who was one Of the managers O.
the ball, proposed that the sixteen mcth'
ers should take their babies to tho bal
with them and deposit them III q room
where they would be easily accessible
This plan was adopted with nlnch en-
thlsiasm, and at 3 O'Clock the slNteei
babies were brought to tie ball aa'
placed on large bed in the second story
: back bedroom.
1t had been suggested by carefu
mother that the infants should be checked
so that each mother could be sure OF re
covering her own at the en-! of the trstl
| vities VI fortunately, no checks coult
= be procured, and it was, therefore, re
l solved that each infant should be care

when the sixteen babies, with their nun

A CASE FOR SOLOMON.

Bernard Lynch was arrested in New
York the other day charged with having
abandoned his wife and two children,
one of them mt the breast. Mrs. Lynch
testified that he would not give her any
thing to support herself and babies. Mr..
Lynch retorted that he had been locked
out five nights in succession, and, de-
spairing of peace at home, had chosen
another place to lay his weary frame and
wrestle with his daily and nocturnal
hash. The injured man expressed a will
lingness to contribute to the maintenance
OF his family if his wife would not expose
him in the fnture to the unhealthy dcws
of heaven and to the butter sarcasm OF
her eloquent tongue. Wherenpon this
scene occurred:
