1--WE GIRLS"

A gushing young damsel, Luclnder,
Leaned out of the back bedroom winder
Meath which her lOV-ar
Lightly picked his guitar,
With no bulldogs or shot-guns to hinder.
A hystericy creature, Deborah,
Sat admiring the crimson Aurora;
When mouse In distress
Ran under her dress,
She tainted and fell on the floor-ah.
A musical maiden, Johanner,
Did nothing but pound the planner;
And scream-bleSsed hope!
Like a steam calliope,
TIL the Reighbors concluded to hang her.
buxon female, Leonore,
Tipped the beam at three hundred or more;
And when she vas mad,
On her muscle got-bad,
And thirsted and painted for gore.
A dashIng ana gay Keokuker,
Spanked a girl In a new seasucker;
Whenever they met,
They were Spoony, you bet,
And their lips would instinctively pucker.

There was young lady from Muscle,
Run of with fellow named Russell,
They came to this town,
And were walking around,
When our blllygoat busted her hustle.

She was thinner than bed post,
Taller than a rail;
As yellow as pumpkin,
And slower than a snail.
She lived in Indiany;
Had Just come out Of school;

But she cOuldn't-ride q mule.

MEMPHIS APPEAL
MIS-. L. VIRGINIA FRENCH.

We have been furnished with few initial
chapters of Mrs. French's new novel-Darl-
ingtonia. It Is being printed under con-
tract with the publishers of the Detroit
Free-Prsss. While we are not able, from
the incomplete reading which the matter al
ready published affords, to give very cor
rect or extended notice of this work, yet
enough of its pages have appeared to war
rant as in pronouncing it a production OF
rare merit. Its incidents and scenes are all
laid in Memphis. This of itself should
awaken in a Memphis community the pro-
foundest interest. But the desire to see this
production as it appears should be doubled
when we remember that the gifted authoress
il an old-time citizen of our city. Mrs.
French's laurels in the realms Of literature
were chiefly won in the fields of poetry.
Quite number, though, Of prose productions,
eEincing a high order of talent, have
emanated from her gifted pen. Her poetic
Sasnions were earliest pl1med for their future
99Ats in this our goodly city. Her first
sisas arneaxel over the name Of
.,'Iaco,inu zshen. she was a young
lady, not out Of her teens, in a
little literary paper then published here.
She and her sister, Mrs. Lide Meriwether,
who has likewise won a brilliant name in the
fields Of literature, were then living here en-
gagged as teachers in one of our largest fe-
male schools. They had just come from
their parental home in Aecomac county, Vir-
qinia. Aside, then, from the intrinsic merits
Of DarliHgtOnia, its being written by south
ern lady, southern tale of incidents during
tie war, its scenes all located in our midst,
authoress fresh in the recollection Of
bany of us in her girlhood days, all conspire
TO make this rare and interesting work sought
after by the reading people Of our COM
MUMMY. It is written in the simplest and
easiest style of purest English, and the in
legest IL the plot takes hold of the reader at
once, and, as far as we have seen, does not
flag, but grows as it progresses. We be-
speak upon the part of the public. and in
behalf of the author and the merits of her
work, a wide and extended reading.

Dear one! when twilight'S deep'nlng shade
BedimS and hides the earth from sight;
When eV'Ding sunbeams sink and fade,
And night puts bright-eyed day to flight,
think of thee.
Dear fTiendl when Sol, bTight-eyed and grand,
With glltpring beams Of golden hue,
Paints flowing streams and rugged land,
And gilds the sky's own heavily blue,
l think OF thee.
Loved one! when each days troubles close;
when on my couch l seek for sleep,
And, WeaTied, long for calm Iepose
While stars their midnight watches keep,
think Of thee.
Thus has 1t been for months, my own;
Oh! thus know II e'er will be;
Nor day, nor night, nor morn, nor noon
Can come, but what think OF thee,

Mysterious Eurders In Paris.

Pail Mall Gazette: Another mysterious
murder, which appears to have completely
puzzled the police, was committed few days
ago In the Rue Pont aux Choux. The victim
was widow, green grocer, who must have
been strapgled at break Of day. as she was
dressing to go to market. The object of the
crime was evidently robbery. No one heard
or saw the murderer or murderers, and none
OF the neighbors can throw any light on the
matter. TINS is the third murder committed
within the last three months which seems
destined to defy the Investigations of the
police. 1t has been found impossible to
bring home 10 any one the crime of the Pas
sage Saulnier, where a woman Of bad
character was assassiEated with japanese
an-dagger; and the tragedy of the Rue la
Fontalne, where poor old woman who sold
newspapers was murdered almost in the open
street, at nine o'clock in the evening, is still
enshrouded in mystery. In each of the above
crimes the assassins exhibited both skill
and audacity, and there are some points
of resemblance between them. Never, how
ever, was audacity carried further than few
nights ago, when seven men entered lodg
ing house at night. Hearing the thieves at
work, the landlord came out, but he was
trampled under foot and soon quoted; a
lodger was served IN the same manner; but
third person managed to escape and to
warn the police. The robbers decamped,
leaving behind them one of their number,
afterward desperate attempt was made On
the part of the SIX men to rescue their COM
rade, but after hard fight the assault on the
police station was foiled aad four of the for
lorn hope remained prisoners. Confined IN
the common cell, the FIVE scamps stripped
and almost beat to death sixth prisoner,
who had been locked up for drunkenness,
and who was perfectly sobered by his i'll
treatment. A horrible case of murder by a
by of sixteen came before the court of assizes
of the Seine recently. For the sake of pos
sessing himself of few francs, the lad, who
is pronousced by the medical meR to be per-
fectly sane, though somewhat backward for
his age, entered the room of an aged rela
tive, and, after soma conversation, took up a
rolling pin and applied it with such vigor to
her head and neck that she died almost i'm
medlately. During the whole trial the boy
remained quite self-possessed, and answered
the questions put to him very calmly. The
jury found him guilty of murder, with extern
uating circumstances, and he was sentenced
| to twenty years penal serVtude.

A Husband Mistakes his Wife for a
Bargain.

Kansas City special to the Cincinnati En-
qnirer, 10Th: One of the most distressing
and heart-rending occurrences that has ever
taken place in this city was enacted at an
early hour this morning, resulting in the in
slant death of Mrs. f. G. Noonan at the
hands Of her husband, who mistook his wife
for burglar. Noonan was awakened by
his wife, VINO stated that robbers were in the
house, and getting up seized revolver and
went to a front room, his wife following. Ar
irving there his wife thought she saw rob-
Der, and uttering an exclamation, grabbed
her husband about the neck He became
frig htened, and thinking IN his excitement
that he had hold Of robber, fired, and his
wife dropped dead at his feet. Mr.. and Mrs.
Noonan came to this city from Milwaukee
several years since, Mr.. NoonaD being the
son of a Jeell-known resident of that city,
and graduate of Yale in the class of 1858.

We Can spare Some, Too.

New Orleans Times: The exodus fever,
which has abated in the country, has made
its appearance IN this city. About seventy
FIVE negroes left for Kansas on Saturday.
There Is no good reason why all the colored
people OF tins city who want TO go to Kansas
should not go. They can very well be spared.
Many of them are shiftless and worthless,
and the more of them who go West the bet
ter it will be for the city. They won't find
Kansas good place for loafng, however.
They will have to work hard or starve. Per
haps the change Will be a good thing for
them. There is no question but that Their
absence viii be good thing for the city.
They would find it much more to their al
vantage, however, if they would move out
or the plantations and 60 to work. The
chances of improving their condition in any
of the parishes of Louisiana Is much better
than it is in Kansas"
