A special despatch from Baltimore,
Nd, says:
Hotel circles here have been much
agitatsd by the sudden disappearance
yesterday of Charles p. Barnard, res,
taurant keeper of the Howard House,
with 81, 500, and woman whose name
is connected with him in disgraceful
scandal, leaving $1,000 in unsettled &C
counts and an injured wife. During
the Centennial he was connected with
the management of the Belmont Hotel,

Friend, who has fled with him. Mrs.

has not lived with him. She has many
friends in the community, all of whom
speak of her as lady of unexceptional
character, and she is the subject of gen
eral sympathy. Mrs. Friend is well
knewn, and does not enjoy very envi-
able reputation. She has been house
keeper at Dublin Gap, Watkins Glen
and numerous other hotels; also in
private families. She is a woman OF
middle age, and is described as not very
prepossessing Mr.. Barnard is 30 years
of age and a native of Massachusetts.
He has been engaged in the hotel and
restaurant business in previous years
in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
this city, and in his business enter
prises has not been successful. His
wife claims he has squandered $lOO, ,O0(

Through Thy shuttles of light and SHADE
Let me rise and rejoice in Thy smile ar'ght'
AS mountains and forests DO;
Let me welcome Thy twilight and lhy night'
And walt for Thy dawn anew!
Give me of the brooks faith, joyously sung
Under clank of Its Icy chain
Give me Of the patience that hides among
Thy hill tops In mist and rain
Lat inc up from the clOd, lot me breathe ihy

Thy beauty and strength give me!
Let me lose both the name and the meaning
in the life that share with Thee

"The truth is," said a prominent
Southern man to the Washington cores
pondent of the Philadelphia Evening
bulletin on Friday, "the people of
the South have been heard from, and
not only |, but many others, are re-
ceiving letters from our constituents,
begging us to stop this thing OF array
ing the North against the South. They
say that business is suffering more in
consequence of this than on account OF
anything else. They got inquiries from
the North from their business acqnalnt
ances, inquiring whether the speeches
made in Congress reflect the feelings OF
the Southern people, and if so what
they propose to do in the future. An
other thing, the Northern papers re-
ceived in the South have told how the
entire North are united in resisting
| what they term Southern aggressive
ness, and our people are becoming
alarmed. What are we going to do!
He repeated the question rather ab
stractedly. swell, sir, am speaking
for myself, remember. am willing tt
pass the appropriation bills and g.
home, regardless of political riders
You may call it backing down if yol
will, but came here to represent m.

Profanity.

A gentleman alluding to the impro.
priety and wickedness of taking the
name of God in vain, remarked that
when he located at New Castle, some
four years ago, lady could not walk
through the streets without being
shocked by the uttersnce OF oaths and
imprecations by young men and boys.
He, in connection with other gentle
men, went to work to break up the
wicked habit and they succeeded so far
that oaths were rarely uttered in the
presence of strangers, and swearing
ceased to be looked upon as an accom-
plishment by the young as well as
those of more mature years. He wish
ed the same could be said of Whining
ton, which, without exception, was the
worst city for swearing that he had
any knowledge of. He really believed
that it had no rival in the entire coun-
try. Mere boys, as well as young men,
take the name of God in vain with q
wrecklsssness that is really shocking,
showing that our system ofgovernmen'
is radically defective and parental au'
thority not properly exerted. Stree,
lounging was also growing evil, anG
he was sorry to say that police officers
INDUCED in this bad habit. He though
the authorities should exert their influ
snceto break up these practices, and thu
improve the morals of the youth, ant
contribute to remove this stain from
the name and reputation of our city
We hope that his aspiration in thi'
respect may be gratiied, as swearing
is an outrageous habit, for which ther
| is no excuse, and the officers Of the la'
should see that offenders pay tn
J penalty prescribed by our statutes.

THE BEST COW IN PERIL.

.sFgx THE BEST COW IN PERIL.
Old Farmer B. is stingy man;
He keeps all he gets and gets all he can.
By all his friends he is said to be
As tight as the bark on young birch-tree.
He goes to church and rents pew,
But the dimes he gives the Lord are few.
If he gets to heaven with the good and great,
He will be let in through the smallest gate.
Now Farmer B.. besides dragging the ploughs
Keeps number of very fine calves and COWS;
He makes no butter but sends by express
The milk to the city'S thirstineSS.
"What do the city folks know about milk?
They are better judges of cloth and silk;
Not man who buys, I'll vow can tell
nIwater it not, or water it well.
II they do not know. then where's the sin?
will put the sparkling water inm
Thus talked to himself old Farmer B.;
How mean he is, old and young can see.
One night it was dark oh, fearfully dark!
The watchdog never came out to bark.
OldFarmer B., in his bed did sn0re,
When rap, rap, rap, nearly shattered the door:
And voice cried out with hasty breath,
ssYour best cow neiehbor, is choking to DEATH"
Ginning off the end of rOuSing Sn0re,
Farmer B. bounded out on the bedroom floor
And the midnight voice was heard no more.
He pulled on his pants, he knew not how,
For his thoughts were all on his choking COW;
He flew to the yard like a frightened deer,
For his stingy soul was filled with fear.
Looking around by the lanterns light, sss
He found that the COWS were there all right.
