MATTE MAY ASHFORD.

In memory of MATTE MAY, daughter of W. j.

years and 19 days.
Our darling MATTE has gone home. As morning
dRwned fair and beautiful, heavens angels gath
cred around the bed upon which she had suffered SO
many long, weary hours, and softly whispering OF
the beauty and glory of the land whence they had
come, gently raised her and bore her home. How
many weary days must pass before we can realize
that she Is really gone; that never never more shall
our eyes rest upon the little form that was de3reI
than all earth beside. Tongue cannot tell the
sorrow and desOatiOn she has left In the home be-
hind her. Mammal heart is almost broken. Weep
not, dear mother, your MATTE is not dead, but
sleepeth. Fair and beautiful as the flowers that
surround her lies the form of your darling but her
spirit is in land beyond the skies, of which ear
bosom of her blessed Savior She had a remarl<a-
BILE mind for one of her years. She said to her
mother, few days before she died. 'Pm SO tired;
l wish was In heaven, don't you. Mamma?" But
she has gone; and looked on the beautiful form
cold In death, could but say, Oh, death, where is
thy sting; oh, grave where is thy vlctoryP' We will
think or her 6s bright angel In heaven, keeping
watch over the one she loved best on earth Sleep,
darling MATTE. sleep In your narrow bed where we
laid you to rest, in beautiful Elmwood; and when
our time comes, may we die you did, at peace with
God and the world.
Her life has been lovely
Her days have been few;
And though you have loved her,
Our God loved her too

A New YORK Herald reporter has inves-
tigated the causes Of the epidemic among the
children of Newark, Vermont, and gives 1t as
his opinion that ''the water in the brook,
which emphes into the Passumpsic river, is
not the cause of the distemper. No doubt it
may have contributed, but the proofs Of we'll
defined cases of diphtheria are too strong and
too clearly set forth by the people of the
stricken town to leave any doubt on the mind
Of an intelligent investigator. The analy-
sis of the water, which will soon be
made public, will doubtless show the exist
ence of deeayed animal matter and poison
Gus drainage from Cbeney's farm. yard; but
it is doubted if these alone could be found in
sufficient quantity in running water to cause
death. Tue causes are lack of drainage,
foul air from the swamp, and the cesspools
under the building and an absence of per-
sonal cleanliness, all aggravated by the sud
den heat of the weather." It will thus be
seen that filth and filthy habits produce like
results where-nohh as well as south

IT has been suggested that the laying of
the cornerstone OF the customhouse be post
poned until the Fourth of July. This, we
think, ought to be done. On the night OF
the natal day OF the republic we are promised
a grand display of fireworks, to witness
which o great many persons are expected
from the surrounding States. It would
greatly increase the eclat OF the occasion If
the ceremony of laying the cornerstone Of
Che Federal buildings was made a specia!
feature of the day. By so doing we can
make for our visitors a display that will SUR
pass anything ever witnessed here, one that
will arouse patriotic enthusiasm and crafty
young aud old alike. We urge this sugges-
ton upon the attention cf the committees
haviug the matter in charge.

White Man, was on his way to a
Bank to Make a Deposit for
Railroad Company.

CHICAGO, June AT half-past one o'clock
this afternoon one of the boldest robberies
ever committed in Chicago was perpetrated.
Near the intersection of Wabash avenue and
Washington street Henry H. Henson, stout
colored boy, about twenty years of age, had
been dispatched, by tue Illino Central rail-
road treasurer, with package of money to
the Merchants Loan and Trust company s
bank. Carl Wilson, bank messenger, accom-
panied BIN as guard. The package con-
tanned between nine and ten thousand dol
lars, the exact amount not being known, as
the treasurer refuses to give it for prudential
reasons. When Henson and Wilson
reached tie point above indicated two
men walked up to them, at an ordinary
brisk gait, separating as they approached.
and going on either side of the messengers.
When they arrived within reaching distance
they they threw tee contents Of a half pound
can of Cayenne pepper In the faces of Wills II
and Henson, aud subsequently dealt Henson
three heavy blows with saadbag, and,
quick as thought, seIz'ng the package OF
greenbacks which he carried in a small can
vas bag under his arm, jumped lntoa COW

drove off at furious rate south down
Wabash avenue. A considerable number of
people were on the thoroughfare at the
tine, and quite number witnessed
the bold proceeding, but none were able to
interfere in time to prevent their escape.
The messengers were nearly blind from the
effects OF the pepper, out as soon as possible
reported the affair. The news was speedily
flashed to all the police stations, and the most
vigorous steps were taken to capture the
highwaymen. There is no valuable cleW,
