ne comes again, that sneaking scamp.
That vile, disreputable tramp:
That yellow cat, with one eye out
ana minus halt his tail-the lout;
his scanty hair torn out in fight
wretch forlorn, sorry sight.
mind me well not long ago
He paced these fields ull.hedoed hoo,
Ills whiskered head, his dainty paw,
his glossy coat, without flaw,
his well-curled tail, his high-bred stare
Proclaimed him favored of the far.
oh, then his food was creamy milk.
His bed lounge of down and silk.
a CARING mistress sought his veal,
NO grief her petted puss might feel.
ny night, by day he went his ways,
Well surfeited with love and praise.
Dut now, you beast, you wretched wight.
BECOME from decent peoples sight,
20 steal from swine your moldy bit,
Make haste my premises to quit,
Or else be pelted well with stones.
There, now, jog on, old crazy bones.
But what is this that dims my eyes,
What STRINGS OF my soul arisel
There's something human in your look,
A something that cannot brook.
That boy OF mine in foreign lands,
Altar from reach of loving hands.
Toled on by fortunes tickle beams,
Only to see their fading CLEANS
(For some get wealth and some get pain,
And some get want and others gain):
In LIES hard race, oh, what if he
A friendless, homeless wand'rer be-!
Come back, Grimalkin, wretched thief,
For all your pains now here's relief;
A kindly hand to stroke your fur,
bed where you may dream and purr,
No more on winter nights to roam,
For here are friends and here home.

A QUEER CRAZE.

oval twas Gurus the way it hap
pened, and amt got tired tellin' about
it yet. 1t was swelterin' hot that day,
the sort of weather when folks would
be glad to take off their flesh and sit
down in their bones. There hadn't
been drop of rain for tour weeks, and
everything looked thirsty. 1 went
about in the afternoon very sorrowtul-
like, sprinklin' the flowers and thinkin'
that the time was soon a-comin' when
some one else would be watchin' 'em
Things had been gettin' harder ever
since brother Ruben was lost on his
last voyage, and I hadn't been able to
pay the mortgage interest, and old
Squire Jones was gone, and everything
the hands of that wild son; and I'd
got notice if the money wasn't paid by
the thirtieth of June everything would
be seized. didn't rightly know how /
was goin' to make ivin' either. /
was gittin' elderly-nigh sixty-and
when folks are as old as that they're
like cats, and don't care about new
homes. So I sat down very melan-
choly at tie window, and looked out at
the little scrap of garden where I'd
worked for years, and began to think of
the time when was slip of a girl and
not so bad looking, and Pollonius
Sawyer used to come and see me and
bring me momentum, as he called it,
from every voyage. Lor', the house
was just cluttered W with queer old
things that Rube and he brought, that
wouldn't bring a sixpence at a vandoo.
Poor Pollonius! He was wrecked on a
strange coast, and no one knows where
bis grave is. I reckon he had a present
for me with him; but I'll never get
that one. All, me!
81 was a-settin' very retrospective
like when see Miss Vanburen a-comin'
in the gate. No hot weather could
quench that woman's ardor for visitin'.
She had her sunbonnet in her hand,
and couldn't stay minute, of course.
But l knew her tricks and her manners,
and begun l-turnin' over in my mind
what l could give her. You see, I'd
been a savin' lately, and hadn't the
usual supply in the house, but 1 wasn't
goin' to demean myself before Hetty
Vanburen. She's q mournfu' -lookin'
woman at the best of times, with hus-
band who drinks and throws plates at
her head, and six rollicking, roaring
children. Well, that's neither here nor
there. She comes in with her mouth
drawed down and her eyes turned up;
and / SEE:
"'Wotever's happened to you, Mrs.
Van, SEE I.
"Why, l thought must come over
and condole with you,' she says, a-turn-
in over the word 'condole' with a sort
O. relish. He says as how he heard
downtown that Lite Jones was a-goin'
to sell you out root and branch, and l
thought it was only neighborly to come
over and see eff twas true. He don't
get things straight more'n half the time,
eos he sees through a glass darkly, as
the minister says
81 own was took a-back at havin'
the affair published afore / had time to
think it over, as you might say.

me once more; for you see yer opportu.

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post said that he asked the clerk
OF a Hudson river steamboat where the
life-preservers were kept, and he told
him that there were plenty in the bag
gage-room and in the closets. This he
found to be the case; but there were no
signs.or notices informing the passen-
gers. In case of panic it would, he
says, be impossible to get them, even if
the passengers knew where they were.
He thinks they ought to be distributed
over the boat as much as the passengers
are. Are the ife-preservers easily &C
cessible to all tile passengers on board
the boats in this part of the countryP
A singular instance of the belief in
witchcraft, a superstition supposed to
be extinct, is reported from Norristown,
Pa. A short time ago young mar
ried woman was taken i'll, and her sick
ness was attributed by her husband to
the fact that she is bewitched. Anxious
to discover the guilty party, he pro-
cured new horseshoe from q black
smiths shop, prepared it in some way
to act as charm and then threw it into
the fire. Not long after he heard one
of his neighbors complain of q burning
pain in her chest, and believed that he
had found the witch. To make sure he
placed some salt under the carpet at the
doorway of his house, and awaited the
result. Several neighbors came to see
the sick woman, andlcrossed the thresh-
old without difficulty, but the sus-
pected one stumbled in passing over it.
1t was reported that he intended to try
further experiments reported to be etfec-
tive in discovering witches.
The New York Graphic does not be-
lieve the story just told OF how bravely
the young French prince imperial de-
Tended himself against the Zulus when
he fell at their hands. The Graphic
says, editorially: The ex-Empress of
France has just made a pilgrimage to
the spot where her unfortunate son was
killed by nameless savages during the
Zulu war. A splendid story of the
prowess of lion at bay is told of the
death of him whom his admirers called
Napoleon w." The authorities on
which the story is based are the nara
tives of large number Of veracious
Zalus, who were eye-wit1esses of the
great battle in which the unfortunate
prince fell after resisting single-handed,
none knows, how many savages, and
being wounded by them several times.
The story is beautiful one-iust the
thing to put in the books Of the Bona
parties to bring about q revival of their
interests in France. Far be it from US
to hint that the story of the powers of
Napoleon w. is apochryphal-that it
has been gotten up for the occasion. We
hope it is true. Human heroism is an
inspiriting object, no matter by whom
or where presented; but it is a little
singular that the graphic narrative of
the death of the last of the Napoleons
should not have even been limited at
until the visit of the ex-empress to
Znluland.

LYSCHING II VIRGINIA. The citizens of
the State of Virginia have at last concluded
that the taking of the law into the hands of a
masked mob is not to be tolerated Recently
at Petersburg, in that State, colored man

opinion is 30 aroused and SO loud in condem-
nation OF the outrage that it is not impossible
the Regulators will be punished to the full
extent of the law. At all events special
jury has been summoned to make an investi-
cation, and, if possible, discover the guilty
parties. This is really encouraging. 1t shows
that in at least one State in the South some
approach is being made toward the methods
that obtain in the more civilized PORTIONS Of

THE Atlas MINING COLUMN.

A recent number Of the Belmont Courier
contains the following article relative to the
stock column of the AHa Californian:
In recent issue of the Alta there is another
Matchmaking article Oh the Barcelona mines OF
Spanish Belt District. We opine that this
San Francisco expert, who is afraid TO do his
growing over his signature, Is playing tor hush
money; but we can assure the Alta that any
thing he can say through ITS columns will not
affect the bonanza now being uncovered il the
Barcelona. The Alto, before allowing It's CO..
umns to be used to vent the spleen of some
bursted stock operators, should be sure that
its information is correct or it is liable to lose
It's reputation as an authority on mines and
mining. The present management will prove
before the Summer has passed that the Bar
celona mines are bullion producers and TINS
give the lie to the Ait0s statement in (. way
1t will have to swallow. A big bonanza is now
being uncovered in the main tunnel that would
surprise some of the San Francisco grass root
experts If they were TO see it, but We suppose
II Is an utter impOsslbllty to make the genius
who presltes over the columns of that highly
influential journal, believe it is there.
We can inform the Belmont Courier that
the man who at presel presides over the min
ing columns of the Alta, Is one Richard 4.
Wheeler. He was formerly associated with
Franklin Lawton in .the publication of the
Daily Stock Report. Daring the time he was
a partner If Lawton Ae drove fast teams and
swelled around the city in astyle that attracted
his partners attention. An investigation of
the books of the concern caused Lawton to
sue for dissolution. In his complaint he
charged Wheeler with misappropriating the
moneys OF the business. The Court granted
the dissolution and Wheeler was ANONYMOUSLY
kicked out As the cause of his disgraceful
eviction from the Stock Report was Published
in the daily papers, 1t was supposed that his
career in San Francisco was ended. Not SO,
however. The Altr Californian picked him
up Immediately as just the man to run its min
ing columns and do work ON the "outside. "
Through his trckery, ignorance and general
stupidity, the mining Column of the Alta has
lost its last vestige of reliability and become
a stencil in mining circles. People who are
curious to know why Wheeler is retained, are
that he has knack of compelling
mining companies to advertise when they had
rather not, and in that capacity is worth his
weight in gold.
