THE DR UNKARDS DA UGHTER.

Out in the street, with naked feet,
 saw the drunkard's daughter Her tattered shawl was thin and small.
 She little knew, for no one taught her. Her skin was fair, her auburn hair
 Was blown about her pretty forehead; Her sad white face wore sorrows trace,
 And want and woe were not borrowed. Heart-broken child; she seldom smiled, Hope promised her no bright tomorrow; Or if its light flashed on her night,
 Then up came darker clouds of sorrow. She softly said, "We have no bread,
 No wood to keep our fire burning" The child was i'll, the winds so chill,
 Her thin cold blood to ice was turning. But men well fed and warmly clad,
 And ladies robed in richest fashion, Passed on the side where no one cried
 To them for pity and compassion. That long night fled and then the light
 Of rosy day in beauty shining, Set dome and spire and roof on fire,
 And shone on one beyond repining. Asleep-alone- cold as stone,
 Where no dear loving parent sought her In winding sheet of snow and sleet
 Was found the drunkard's ifeless daughter

Pleasant Drinking.

Milwaukee drinking water is viscous opaque fluid, made up of 8 number of mucilaginous compounds. With little evaporation it can be used for plaster or mortar-the lime and the hair being present in sufficient quantities. A
 prominent physician " has made fifty three examinations for the Sentinel and reported the following assorted articles contained in the solution Part of tongue of snail, pine bark, tan bark, woolen fibre, animal debris, skin of caterpillar,
 feathers, mosquitoes, cat hairs, dog muscles. For scare and sensation this is admirable, and the "part of tongue of snail /" and "dog muscles , indicate such superhuman sagacity on the part of the analyst that he ought not to be permitted to blush unseen. Let us have this atomizer out in public view.

Deaths of Negro Minstrels.

It IS very remarkable that, notw1th- standing their pecuniary prosperity, most of the leading minstrels have died poor. '' The burnt t-cork performers have, as rule led fast lives, and have as a consequence used up both their physical and financial substance prematurely
 Edwin P. Christy, the pioneer of minstrelsy, founded the original Christy minstrels at Buffalo in 1841, and played at Mechanics Hall, in New York, for several years to crowded audiences. He made $150, 900 at the business, but met with reyerses and lost almost every thing he possessed. He terminated his career by leaping from third story window. His putative son, George N. Christy (Harrington), was the first rep resentative of female parts. He re- ceived large salary, and managed several companies successfully; but he died in New York in great poverty. Dan Bryant (O'Brien), of Bryant's minstrels, the most noted of the three brothers, began in 1850, played twenty years, made fortune, and got entirely rid of it. After his death, Q few years ago, subscriptions were taken mp for the 1e- lief of his family. W. w. Newcomb (Combs), author of the burlesque lecture on woman's rights and other popular absurdities, visited England and Ger many professionally, had @ showy cottage at Saratoga, and cut grand figure i'll his way. He met the usual fate, however, and died in New York in penury. H. c, Ramsey, Newcomb's partner, a famous buffoon and banjoist, had his ups and downs like the rest. He became paralyzed, and was aided by his fellow showmen until the close of his wretched days. Sam Sharpley (Sharpe), a great end man, was the proprietor of Sharpley's minstrels, known as the iron clads. He was & great card in his day, and made large fortune which he lost in petroleum and other speculations. He died at Providence, R. I. G. Swayne Buckley, the creator of burlesque opera, played in New York season after season to thronged houses. He made and lost two or three fortunes, but finally died last year in Quincy, Mass, almost penniless. Eph Horn, of great note in 7arious troupes in his day, was so i'm provident that when he died he left absolutely nothing-not even enough to pay for his burial expenses. Members of the profession saw that he was decently inferred in one of the metropolitan cemeteries. Billy Manning, of Emerson &y Mannings company, also filled his purse and emptied it, and when he went to his grave in Chicago his friends paid for his funeral. Billy Morris, of Morris Brothers, drifted into Lunatic asylum, and was provided for by his brothers until he died in Boston. Wm. H. Delehanty was one of the last of the negro comedians to be buried by his guild, and yet he had earned for years $500 week as dancer and singer. He was the author of the once so popular song, "Shoo Fly. "-- Phi1a. Press.

Henry F. Mckenzie, Peter Boyle, John

Henry F. Mckenzie, Peter Boyle, John Bogart, two men unknown.
 The body of the second daughter of MT. Longcar was not found. It was buried in the corner of the garden that was not carefully prodded. These vic tims had probably been attracted to the Bender house by the conspicuously dis played grocery sign. A stranger was inveigled into the death trap, and in yited to glass of wine or something to eat. As he sat at the table in the back room. one of his treacherous hosts smote him with hammer, crushing in his skull, and killing him instantly. But to insure death his throat was ripped from ear to ear, and he was hurriedly dropped through the trap door into the bloody cavern beneath. In the dead of night the body was removed to the garden and buried.
 These ghastly crimes were committed soleIy for gold. Whoever entered the Bender mansion alone and with money, it mattered not how little, died like a brute.
 Longcar was one of Dr. York's neigh bors, and had started for Iowa with 8 view to locating permanently. Casual ly stopping in the Bender place he was brutally murdered. His skull was mashed to jelly, his throat cut and his body mutilated. His little child had evidently been tossed into the grave up on the mangled corpse and buried alive.
 The discovery of the inhuman butch cries perpetrated by the Bender family was made seven years ago. For seven years diligent search for the bloody mur- derers has been pursued in every land upon the face of the earth. Up to 8 few weeks ago the search was unavailing. But justice, though tardy, is sure, and onSe~m the tolls of 8 grossly outraged law, the Renders will speedily suffer the penalty of their fiendish atrocities. The gallowsGupon which~they die should be built so high that all the world might see and enjoy the death throes of the most inhuman wretches with which civ ilization has been cursed since the days of Sawney Bean and his incestuous fam fly of cannibals.

 "Now, James, just tell me what all this means s-if you are not quite out of your senses. Come I intend to know"

 "F'rom your brother-to me. A long time ago, years before I knew you, I lent friend over four hundred pounds. He ran away with it to Australia, and I lost my money, and set him down as a rogue. But he is not so dishonest as I thought him; he has made his fortune out there, and is back again in London now, and last week he transmitted the debt and interest to your brother for me five hundred pounds. I brought the notes home the night Harry drove me here."
 "And now just tell me, James, how you could think of putting bank notes into such place as a furnace fire hole ?''
 "I did it for safety. Nobody ever went in there, and the furnace was nev- CT used"
