FINE AND SAD.

A fine game is Grab-bag a fine game to see!
For Christmas and New Year, and birthdays,
and all. ....... s..... ... ....
Happy children, all laughing and screaming
with gee!
If they draw nothing more than popcorn
ball, .. fH ~ tt.'I'tt T.
IT'S a prize they welcome with eyes of delight,
i And hold it aloft with loud, ringing cheer;
Their arms waving high, all so graceful and
white; PIP 'Ii'''.i t
Their heads almost humping, so close and so
The laughter grows louder; the eyes grow
more bright.
Oh, sweet is the laughter, and gay is the
sight
A fine game is Grabbing! fine game to see!
strange game of Grabbing l saw yesterday;
III never forget it as long as live. t-.1
Some street-beggars played it-poor things
not in play .'
A man with a sack on his back, and a sieve
A poker to stir in the barrels of dirt
A basket to hold bits of food he might find
Twas pitful sight, and sight that hurt,
But sight it is well TO keep in ones mind
His children were with him, two girls and three
... boys;
Their heads held down close, and their eyes
all intent;
No sound from their lips of glad daughters
No choice of bright playthings to them the
game meant!
A chance of a bit of waste cinder to burn;
A chance of acrust of stale bread they could
eat; lt
A chance-in thousand, as chances RETURN
' OF ragged odd shoes they could wear on their
feet!
The baby that yet could not totter alone
Was held up to see, and as grave as the rest,
watched wlstful each crust, each cinder, each
bone,
And snatched at the morsels he thought
look the best.
The sister that held him, oppressed by his
weight
Herself but an over-yeared baby, poor
Had the face of a woman, mature, sedate,
And looked but the older whenever she
smiled. rr.at ..uNH
oh, a sad game is Grab-bag-a sad game to
AS beggars must play it, and their chances
fall;
When Hunger finds crusts an occasion for
' glee,
And Cold finds no rags too worthless or
o children, whose faces have shone with de-
light,
Asyou played at your Grabbing with shout
ing and cheer,
And stretched out your arms, all so graceful
and white,
And gayly bumped heads, crowding near and
more near,
With laughter and laughter, and eyes growing
bright
Remember this picture, this pitiful sight,
OF q sad game of Grab-bag-a sad game to see!

Derry was beginning to feel to bIamo
and was willing to make what comnen'
sation she could. SO when she had
cleared her mouth of seed-cake she bp.

Derry hung her head little. After
minutes thought she very SLOWLY
picked out one more of the flowers from
her basket.
"Pn div 90 vat" said she. holding
it out to Caroline, with radiant smile
+" You are kind o sweet, after air;
said Caroline, relenting IF you'D
give me kiss, I'll forgive YOU this
time, though you mustn't ever do such
a thing again" ...
Derry always had plenty of kisses to
give away. So she paid up her debt
willingly. H.
Then Caroline took her in her arms
and carried her all the way home

at the gate.

Oscars New Clothes.

Mr.. Oscar Wilde has come back, like
young Lochinvar, "out of the West
like a giant refreshed. He has been so
enthusiastically welcomed from Chicago
to Leadville, as the apostle of a new era,
that he intends to grapple with the great
clothes question in deadly earnest. He
has planned and furnished the drawings
to New York artist in toggery for two
costumes not only g utterly utter" but
lovely and exhilarating beyond all mod
ern comparison, in which, within few
days, New York may expect to see him
illuminate our public places. The for
tunate artist who has been intrusted with
this commission, was kind enough yes
terday to give reporter of the World
the following lucid and instructive sketch
of the coming garb: ''.'-l' iH
swell, l am making two suits for
Mr.. Wilde according to his order and
drawings, one to be of black velvet and
the other to be the shade of lake
glistening in the moonlight. The shade
is called couleur du lac au clair de la
lune." This explanation seemed per-
fectly satisfactory, but rather general,
and the artist was asked for details.
These the artist gave. He said that
there were two suits, one black and the
other mouse color. The black suit has
plain black velvet doublet fitting tight
to the body, without any visible buttons,
after the style of Francis l., the lower
part of the sleeves being of embossed
velvet, with embroidered field flower
designs, and fitting tight to the arm.
The upper part of the arm is to be in
large puffs of the same material, only of
a larger pattern, and the body of plain
velvet. The sleeves are of two designs
of brocaded velvet edged with delicate
ruffle of mousselinc de sole. Around the
neck is also a narrow frill in three rows
of the same material as that which edges
the sleeves. The breeches are to come
to the knee and to be tight fitting, with
two small buttons at the bottom. The
stockings are to be of black silk and the
shoes outflow and secured with a silver
buckle! It,may be interesting to know
that the following are the dimensions Of
the costumes in inches: Trousers. &c
inches; bottom of doublet, 454; waist
3S4, and breast, 36l. The puffs at the
upper part of the sleeves 81 inches, al
the bottom 1Din0hes, the collar being II

THE OLD WORI
Russia.

Skcbaleff7s Utterances-A RusGO-Germnn War Thought to be Inevitable. VIENNA, March 30.-Information received here from Russia, and through most credit able sources, reiterates the correctness of the report concerning the remarkable speech of General Skobeleff at the military club. The speech was delivered in a room belonging to the officers of yacht club which is part of the military club, in the presence of the Duke of Leichtenberg and many officers of the Preorhagenski regiment. At the request of his brother officers General Skobeleff mar rated what had occurred in the imperial presence. He maintained that the Czar ap- proved his Paris speech, but feared to openly express this approval because Russia at this moment was so dependent upon Germany that it was not safe to run the risk of rup- ture with the latter power. This rupture, however, it is believed, is inevitable. It is perfectly we'll known here that Germany be, | lieves a war with Russia is certain to break out at no distant day A German general of | staff has been for weeks most carefully study | ing strategic details that are necessary to be | thoroughly mastered before entering upon
 this war. Field Marshal Won Moltke
 has said that while war could not
 be undertaken with perfect assurance of sue
 cess until after eighteen months further
 preparation, that it could be begun now with
 reasonable hopes of triumph. He thinks
 before war is declared the fortresses ot
 Posen and Thorn should be greatly strength
 ened, and that Dantzic, Pillau and Kingsberg
 should be put in Q perfect State of defence
 Then, as war with Russia would invite
 France to her revenge, all the defences along
 the French frontier should be very carefully | guarded.

 WASHINGTON, March 3O.-During the cam paign of 1880 Wade Hampton wrote John Sherman letter in which he told him his address was Charleston, s. c. Recently an- other article appeared in Charleston paper about Hampton. He had its authorship in- vestigated and ascertained that it was written by clerk in the Treasury department named Kirk. Hampton went to Secretary Foiger and demanded Kirk be discharged Folger sent for Kirk for an explanation. Kirk came and complicated the matter by saying that while he wrote the article he did so at the suggestion and dictation of Sherman, who had put him in the Treasury department. He admitted that he had traduced the char acter of the Senator at the suggestion of Sherman. Secretary Folger, not inclined to believe this, and demanding proof, Kirk pro- duced letter written by Sherman asking him to write the attack in person. Kirk will be discharged and Hampton will probably ask the Senator to take hand in the matter. The action of Hampton toward Sherman on the floor of the Senate since has been the sub ject of comment. It is said they almost got into personal encounter in the Senate bar Der shop yesterday

A River Horror-BurnIng of h River
 Steamer--A Number of Lives Lost.
 MEMPHIS, March 30.-The steamer Golden City, of the Southern Transportation con- pany's line, when approaching the wharf this morning at 4:4O o'clock, was discovered to be on fire by the second engineer and Albert Kelly, who immediately notified Captain Bryce Purcell, ST., the pilot on watch. The boat bow was at once headed for the shore, and in four minutes afterward she touched the wharf at the foot of Beale street, where the coal fleet is moored. A line was hastily thrown and made fast to one of the coal barges, but the current being swift it soon parted, and the burning steamer fioated on down the river mass of flames, with many of her passengers and crew aboard, who were unable to reach the shore and were lost
 The Golden City left New Orleans last Sat urday, on the way to Cincinnati. She car ried crew of about 60. She had on board 40 cabin passengers, 15 of whom were ladies, and 9 children. Her cargo con sisted of 300 tons, among which was 1 Q lot of iute The fire is said to have had its origin in this combustible ma terial. Among those known to have been lost are: Dr. Monahan and wife of Jackson, Ohio; Mrs. Crary, Cincinnati; Miss Luella Crary, Cincinnati; W. H. Stowe, wife and two children; Ollie Wood and wife, Tender son, Ky; Mrs. Anna Smith, Massachusetts Miss Campbell, Mrs. Helen Percival, Mrs. L. F. Kounz and three children. The books of the steamer were lost, so it is impossible tc gather complete list of the lost and saved All of the officers of the steamer, except Sec ond Engineer Kelley, escaped. He it was who first discovered the fire and gave the alarm, remaining at his post of duty until cut ply the ond he nof h a" others. Nearly all the cabin and deck crew of the steamer saved themselves.

RiotoUs Workmen at Barcelona.
 MADRID, March 3O.-In the Cortes this afternoon the government announced that it had instructed the authorities to forcibly suppress the manufacturers agitation in Cata- lonia. Notwithstanding this announcement rioting continues in Barcelona and business has been entirely suspended. A large body of workmen paraded the streets in the latter place to day, and passing the boxes of the Octroi guards fired at them. This action on the part of the workmen brought on num- Der of encounters between them and the military, during which several persons were wounded and many arrests were made.
