COUNTRY GIRLS.
BY FRANK WARD.

Tn early in the morning,
Just at the peep of day,
Straining the milk in the dairy
Turning the cows away;
Sweeping the floor in the kitchen,
Making the beds upstairs,
Washing the breakfast dishes,
busting the parior chairs.
Brushing the crumbs from the pantry,
Hunting for eggs in the barn,
Cleaning the turnips for dinner,
Spinning the stocking yarn;
Spreading the whitening linen
Down on the bushes below,
Ransaeking every meadow
Where the strawberries grow.
Searching for " fixings' for Sunday,
Churning the snowy cream,
Rinsing the pals and strainer
Down in the running stream;
Feeding the geese and turkeys,
Making the pumpkin PIES,
jogging the little ones cradle,
Driving away the ties.
Grace in every motion,
Music in every tone,
Beauty in form and feature
Thousands might cOyet 10 own;
Cheeks that rival spring roses,
Teeth the whiteSt of pearls,
One of these country maids Is worth
4 score of your city girls.

gagged for q certain stipulated sum; that
Msuritsk prepared the route, engaged

necessary werdrobts, made the contracts
for them and advertised the town extsn-
sively. A short time before the date 10
start, it is alleged that Patti refused to 90
because of some trouble whiah had taken
place IN that country, and broke her con-
tract. Aauritsk expended upward of
$4,000 in making arrangements for the
tour, and claims that he lost nearly three
times that sum By reaion of the alleged
breach of contract, for both of which
amounts he has brought suit. Mauritsk
has been in Cincinnati some time, but
came here q few days age. The papers
were served on Patti to-day; but the
parties to the suit were very careful to
keep all the details to themselves.

The DisreputibIe Ninth.

Boston, 16.-The commission sp-
pointed to investigate the published
charges against the Ninth Regiment on
its recent trip to Yorktown, reports that
much ofthe mischief was sport only, but
often boisterous aud was carried to ex-
cess. Some of i: was from ignorance of
good breeding, and some was clearly
Che result of over indulgence in
drinking. The acts committed By the
squadron wandering about Richmond,
under permission given was because no
provision had been made for refreshment
during the unexpected delay between the
arrival and departure of the train for
New York. The commission recon-
mend that the colonel of the regiment
be required to make an investigation
with the view of fixing the guilt upon
and discharging the men responsible for
the dishonorable conduct Governor
Long has ISSUED a special order to Col
Strech, requesting him to report within
thirty days the names Of the culprits. If
they are not forthcoming the whole regi-
ment will be held responsible, and be
liable to such action as the governor shall
see fit to direct.

Spanish Politics.

Madrid, 16.-Castellar, in speech in
the Cortes, yesterday, maintained that
his attitude toward government was con-
sistent With his past history and antece-
dents. Much as be had sacrificed to the
revolution, he would do it sgsin under
the same circumstances, bat he now be-
lieved the more certain means to accom-
plish the triumph Of democrats was by q
legal struggle. as ia France and Amer
lea, through 8 president and parliament.
The final part Of the speech was q de-
mandatory OF ultrsmontsne efforts to in
duce Spain to interfere with 1tsly's
politics, and favor the temporal power of
the papaey and its intrigues. and the
manifestations In support Of Carlists. In
describing the various forms of govern
ment, in tones deep with emotion, that
rang through the house and galleries, he
alluded thus to. President Garfield: How
can we forget that noble chief of fre
people, who fell at the post of honor, .
martyr to duty, after an honorable and
brave career, an example Of republican
fortitude, and Torn by the hand of 8
cowardly assassin from his devoted wife,
his loving children, his true colleagues,
and great nation? he then passed to
the question of education. Hs sad the
sciences and learning must be free from
state and church tyranny. Professional
and learned men must soar freely
in pursuit Of truth, beyond the
reach of fanaticism and despotisn,
which lead us in Russia to
nihilism and regicide. His pathetic per-
Grafton was on the necessity of progress
and liberty, combined with mutual be-
nevolence Of liberalism and democracy.
The speaker was much cheered by the
galleries. Crowds in the streets cheered
him enthusiastically. After the session,
Castellsr's house was crowded with poll
ticlans of all ranks and shades.
In the Chamber of Deputies, to-day,
III. Canovas del CASTILLO criticised the
action of the ministry in regard to the
Saids massacre. He argued that for
eigners were entitled to compensation for
their losses during the Spanish civil
wars. Abiding to the late Morocco con-
ference, he maintained that the Empire
Of Morocco must not be allowed to dissp.
pear. When the period for its collapse
arrived, Spain should be ready to defend
certain positions, including deserted vii
lagos. He concluded by defining the
conservative policy.

Mysterious Murder.

Chicago, l6.-At 10 O'Clock last night
the hesdless trunk Of Miss Ellen Kesner,
was found at the place known as Wa
bash Railroad and Seventy-frst street, in
Englewood. Marks on the person of the
deceased plainly indicated foul play. Sne
was 20 years of age, prepossessing, edu-
Gated In the east, and attending the Eor-
NAL school at Englewood. She was
regarded as a young lady of brilliant
prospects. Upon learning Of the fact the
town became greatly excited, and bands
of residents went out in every direction
to get clue TO the murder. Miss Kes-
ner has been acting very strangely lately,
and the common remark was that some
thing Is preying on Ellen's mind
Last night she retired IS usual, but sub.
sequently arose, dressed herself and
going to the rom ofthe superintendent's
wife, complained of feeling i'll. She was
sent back by that lady, but instead of
going to her room, went out on the street,
and at 10 o'clock the body was found
secreted IN the weeds, by two students
at W. S. Patrick s. Co.'s corner. Both
arms and legs were broken, and there
were several cuts on the body made with
q knife. The head lay some distance
from the body. Parts Of the hands and
feet were scattered in the grass, indica-
ting that the murderer had deposited his
burden hurriedly and fed. Over the left
nipple was knife wound, but not suffi-
Gent to cause death. The thighs and
8 bdomen were badly discolored. creating
the impression of an outrage. Two men
in the garb Of tramps were seen at IL
O'Clock moving rapidly along Wentworth
avenue, but though pursued by excited
citizens they escaped. This nlernine
citizens threaten to deal summarily with
the murderer or murderers if found. The
LaketoWn police think the girl was

CLOSING UP THE YEARS BUSINESS.

The general markets, both here and
elsewhere, reflect the near approach of
the holiday season, and, as q matter Of
course, the volume of trade is reduced to
the minimum point. Business men are
generally looking through accounts and
making up profits and losses of this year
and but few new ventures Of any kind
will be undertaken until after the new
wear opens. The condition of trade in
all branches remains favorable, and re-
tailers here report very satisfactory
trade. In New York the events of the
week in financial circles were important
for the increased ease in money grow
ing out of the Treasury operations, the
activity in Government bonds, the great
advance in Southern railway shares,
and the depression in the general list on
the Stock Exchange. During the first
half of the week borrowers with miscel-
laneous collaterals had to pay commits
sions of l-64 to 1-32 in addition
to legal interest for daily 2 .ac-
0ommodations; but when the proposal
ofSecretary FoLGER to prepay s, 900, 900
bonds embraced in the l06th call ELECTED
offers of nearly S., 800 900, all of which
were accepted, a much easier feeling
prevailed, and the commissions previous
~ exacted gradually disappeared, and
money was accessible at sac per cent.
The offerings of capital on government
bonds have been large at 3la4 per cent,
and prime mercantile paper has been
discounted at Ga7 per cent. The loans
are quoted at g per cent. and a slight
commission. The foreign exchanges
boya haen dull the changes too slight to
call for special mention.
