"Papa, don't Bury Ne Dsepio

In the spring ef 1859 little girl
died of consumption iu Frederick
City, aged eight years and three
months. A few days before she died
she called her father to her bedside
and said: Papa, when die don't
bury me deep-not more than 50 deep,
holding up her tender and emaciated
arm and measuring from her shoulder
out. oh, it is so hard to be put 50
hard in the deep damp ground, and
please don't place any marble slab on
my grave it will be 50 dark under il:
and it viii pres 80 heavy on my lit
tie breast. Sod y mggaye nicely, and
plant tree at It's head, SO that the
wild birds can gather in SIS branches
and sing for me- But j: seems to me
l would rather have cur own birds
sing for me than wild birds. Couldn't
you let brother Willie aud sister Emma
bring our cage Of little birds out TO the
cemetery every Sunday morning and
leave them to sing for me all dayg
When you are at church in town it
wouldn't seem 50 lonesome out by my
self" A few days after this Anna
died, and her afiectionate parent did
every thing as she requested. She
was buried shallow, the grave nicely
soddcd, aud tree planted at its head.
And still every Sunday morning,
Willie and Emma can be seen going
out 10 the cemetery with their cage Of
little birds to Annals grave.

Getting ready to be Married.

Having settled the comparatively
minor matter Of choosing a husband,
the fashionable girl now turns her
heartfelt attention to getting herself
satisfactorily dressed for marriage,
also to bettering her person. She de-
sires, above all things, to be at least
pretty, if not beautifully on that awful
occasion, and to accomplish that pur-
pose she goes through all therejuven-
alton possible. Imet girl at Sara
toga who told me she was trying TO
fatten herself for bridal. The afianc-
ed husband was an ardent admirer of
plumpness, and she was rather lean.
The amount Of oatmeal and cream she
consumed was marvellous, and she loll-
ed around all day long, refusing to
dance even for fear Of working oG an
ounce of flesh A month Of that kind
of treatment increased her weight nine
pounds, butt don't improve her ap-
pearance tony mind. because she had
a fat, porky look in the face and her
skin became bad from indiges-
ton.

!. LIE REApJUsTER cANDIDATE.


Colonel William E. Cameron,
Daniels Teadjuster opponent, is
one Of the fourth estate. He was
for a long time editor of the Dem
ocratic Index-Appeal, of Peters
burg, and it was to the columns OF
this jeilrnal that he contri buted
some years ago the bitterest edito-
rials which have ever been penned
in Virginia against the party
whose standard-bearer he now is.
His pen is full Of venom and force.
AS Democratic Funder editor he
denounced readjustment with the
consent of the creditors as petty
larcency and forcible readjustment
as highway robbery. lie pleads

son of infancy to these earlier polit-
ical performances of his. There is
Spanish proyerb which reads" F" He

fool" Colonel Cameron is man
Of prepossessing presence and Of
genial and affable manners and
wins friends wherever he goes. He
has mild blue eye, a silky blonde
moustache and long imperial, and
bushes like q school girl when
John Daniel pokes him under the
fifth rib with q mellow editorial
from the Index Appeal. The pres
ent canvass is Gameron's first ex-
perience as speaker, but he shows
himself masterful even In his novi-
tiate. He runs on his muscle in a
quiet, dignified way, and wears on
his body the scar Of a pistol wound
received in a duel six or seven years
ago with Robert W. Hughes, now
United States District Judge of the
Eastern Districtof Virginia. Doubt

Considerable liquid nourishmcnt has
been retained since the last bulletin, and
the stomach still acts satisfactorily. The
general condition seems slightly improved.
q =. M.
A quiet confidence now prevails at the
White House. The excitement of yesterday
seems to have died out completely, although
there Is still great anxiety felt on all sides.
DR.. Bliss states that there has
been no material change in the
Presidents condition since tho monday
bulletin. He has slept most Of the after
noon. So far to-day he has taken and re-
tanned twenty-five ounces of nourishment-
koumiss and porridgc-by the mouth The
enomata have also been continued No I'M
favorable symptoms are looked for to-day.
Another Explanation of TO-dny's
bulletin.
The correspondent of the National AS
sociatcd Press tclegraphed the following
this afternoon The noon bulletin is gem
orally accepted as an indication at least,
that the President has held his own during
the day. DIR. Bliss says there has been a
slight improvement since yesterday.
He says it will be impossible to tell just
what will come of the parotid swelling for
four or five days yet, but that it seems to be
giving less trouble to day and is not likely
to cause more serious annoyance. The
wound, he says, is doing nicely. The great
est fear he now has of fatal consequences is
from exhaustion. The stomach again looks
as if it would be equal to all demands.
If it should not continue to be the Presi-
dent would grow worse DR.. Bliss says,
however, that he believes the stomach Is
going to do its part, and the patient will
recover. DIR. Boynton says, also, he docs

has turned out to be less acute case than
was feared. 1t is likely to cause some an
noyance for several days, but isnot neces-
sarily dangerous. The anxious feeling con-
tinues and all eyes are on the stomach.
| At 1870 p. m. there had been no recurrence
of vomiting Up to that hour the President
had had eight ounces of milk p0rridge and
four of k0umiss by the mouth and two

trouble from phlegm in the throat.
The Presidents Mother and
| Children.
The statement in the Baltimore Sun this
morning that Capt Henry, Marshal of the
District has gone to Ohio to bring the
Presidents mother and his younger chill.
dren to this city is absurd and false. Capt
Henry came to Washington of his own &C.
cord on the occasion of the Presidents last
relapse, leaving business there untransacted
and has just returned there, also on his
own accord, to finish it up. He felt en-
couraged by the improvement in the Prcsi
dents condition to do so. There is nc
intention of bringing the Presidents mother
and his children to this city.

FOR PUBLIC PROTECTION.
The National Theatre TO be Made Per-
fectly Safe.

The following letter to the proprietor OF
the National Theatre, from the Inspector
of Buildings, sent this afternoon, explains
ITSELF
"SIR: With view to protect the public
in case of fire, have recently made an ex-
animation of the National Theatre, and
find that the exits from the main floor and
first tier are ample and safe, but for the
upper tier of galleries there should be addi-
tional exits, and as it is difficult to con-
struct an additional stairway, you are nOti-
fled before opening the theatre to make adj
ditiOnal door openings in the towers, and to
build n platform to the fiat roof over the
billiard rooms from which the adjoining
hotel is accessible.
Also to close the space above the pro-
cenium boxes and arch to the apex of the
roof, so as to prevent Il fire on the stage
from spreading rapidly over tie auditorium,
and to have in place Il sufficient quantity
of hose attached to the water main On.thc
stage to reach any part of tho building.
BY order of the Commissioners" Mr.
Rapley has expressed his willingness to
comply with the above, and the security of
the theatre will be substantially improved.
