Tho Detroit Chat is responsible
for the FOLLOW: In tho class that will
graduate atlho Cass school this month
is bright eyed little blonde girl Of
fourteen summers, who can tell you
how all the league clubs stand, and
the record of every noted PAGER and
trottiDg horse in the United States.
Her somewhat unnatural love OF, and
pcnchant for, sporting matters docs
not interfere with her studies, as she
is considered marvellous pianist, aud
has a mellow, contralto voice which
she cultivates with enthusiasm. She
is tho daughter OF G. w. Green, who
resides at tho corner of Park and Sib-
ley streets, and who travels for Doo-
little, Webster q Co., tho Detroit
wine merchants. In the spring OF
1874, Mr.. Green, with his family,
was in Worcester, Mass, on their
way to Boston. While al
the depot, some gentlemen came into
the passenger shed carrying a three
days old colt on a stretcher.
The little Miss Green ran after the
gentlemen and asked why they car.
ried the colt in that way.
"Bccause," said Mr.. Stone, owner
of the colt, 81 am afraid he will break
his legs if | let him stand up in the
cars"
Tho little girlpersisted in making
all sorts ofinquiries, until at last Mrs
Green called her and said she must
not annoy the gentleman. as he would
think her impertinent. But the little
ono wanted 10 SEQ the "colty." III.
nally, Mr.. Stone uncovered the wee
horse, and tho little miss asked sc
many questions that the horse breed
er became interested In her, aud al
lowed the little girlto stroke the colt
"What is his name?" asked the
child.
"What is your name?v returned
Mr.. Stone
"Maud," was the reply, as she
pulled the "colty's" cars.
"Then that shallSbe the colts name
Maud" said Mr.. Stone. ..Now, II
you ever hear of Maud or Lady
Maud, you must remember that il {.

A similar Case

Wm. K. Lewis, of Norwalk, was accident ally shot thirty years ago in almost precisely the same spot where President Garfield was. The Gazette says: 'Mr. Lewis was confined to his bed for some time, but after healthy suppuration of his wound set in he rapidly recovered, and was soon thereafter attending to his ordinary business, wearing compress about his person.
 "Now comes in the most singular part of the history. Mir. Lewis one day felt hard sub stance protruding from the flesh just above the groin. He at once thought it the lost and almost forgotten bullet, and going to Dr. Hills office the doctor made slight incision through the skin, when the bullet fell out into his hand. The intruder had undoubted- ly struck rib in entering MT. Lewis back and glanced around instead of going into the abdomen, as the physicians had supposed. from the track of the bullet as traceable. Let us hope and pray that our good Presi dents life may be spared by an equally for tunate turn in the direction of the assassin's s bullet"

Railroad Commissioners.

Extension of streets and Bridges over
 RaIlroads-The Hearing Yesterday i'm
 This City.
 Yesterday morning at g o'clock the Rail- road Commissioners met in the Aldermen's chamber to hear interested parties relative to the extension of Webster street across the Canal railroad track east to Winchester ave- nue and the extension of Jackson street north across the track of the Hartford di- vision of the Consolidated railroad.
 The city was represented by Corp oration Counsel Stoddard and City Engineer Fowler. Mayor Robertson and Alderman Driscoll were also present to overlook the proceedings. The Canal road was represented by President Yeamans and the Consolidated road by Presi- dent Watrous and Vice President Reed.
 President Yeamans, who appeared for the Canal railroad, stated that his company, in case the street was extended, desired the erection of fifty foot iron bridge over the tracks, so that his company may have ample room to lay under it the four tracks which will soon be necessary in the vicinity to accom- modate their constantly increasing freight business, so that they may have room at this pOlnt pOSo6. "A1A oh rangement Corporation Counsel Stoddard said he would be perfectly satisfied and as all parties were agreed on the matter the Board of Railroad Commissioners disallowed cross ing at grade and ordered the erection of 8 bridge whenever the street is extended.
 In relation to the Jackson street extension, President Watrous, of the Consolidated road, stated that if there was to be any extension of the road he should, of course, favor bridge. He held, however, that it had not yet been shown that public necessity and convenience required any such bridge and that there was no pressing necessity for the extension. If the proposition to extend the street was pushed the railroad company would oppose it on that ground and also because the exten- sion would be 8 material injury to the prop erty of the company in that vicinity and dam age their large plot of land there.
 City Engineer Fowler and Alderman Dris- coll thought public necessity required the ex- tension of the street in order to accommodate Fair Haven people who wish to come to the city Owing to the decision of the commis- sioners that they had no jurisdiction in this matter, and that the Board of Public Works had not had a hearing as to the necessity of the extension but would have one on the 2Oth, the whole matter was dropped and no hearing was had.
 The Railroad Commissioners will hold another meeting in this city at No. Church street on July 26th at 9 8. m., to hear parties in interest living on the line of the layout of the Connecticut and New York railway com pany, better known as the Parallel road and listen to the objections, if there are any, to be made.

She reaches her last quarter on the 18th, and on the 18th is in conjunction with Saturn, Neptune and Mars. On the 2Oth she pays her respects to Jupiter, and the Fist she passes near Venus Thus on these mornings charming pictures of moonlit and starlit glory will be painted on the skies before the bright ness of the dawn obscures the view. The beaming planets will seem to be clustering like golden bees, ,and the waning moon softly shining high up among the eternal stars"

Death ofa Deputy Collector.

Captain James H. Porter, deputy collec- tor of the port of Fairfield, died at his resi- dence on Golden Hill street, Bridgeport, about II o'clock Monday night, of congestion of the lungs. His death was sudden, being preceded by only few hours of actual ill- ness, although for years he has been subject to intermittent attacks of the ague. Monday forenoon he started for the Collectors office, but felt so badly on the way that he returned home. Hardly had he arrived when he was taken with a congestive chill. This was suc- cesded by convulsions, followed by nearly a complete stupor, which lasted until he died. He served as an officer in the Sixth Atlantic squadron in the late war with a fine record. At the close of the war he was placed in com mand of coast survey steamer, having the chance of accepting this position or remain- ing in the regular navy. He commanded the survey steamer for six or seven years, and was the last volunteer officer dismissed from the service. A few months after his dis charge he received the appointment of depu- ty collector of the port of Bridgeport. This was in January, 1874, and he has held the place ever since. He leaves a wife and two daughters.
