OBrien's bagnio, on Main street, and reflect
ing rather severely on Sarah. An inyestiga-
ton of all the facts in ths-cuse shows that

to the Mission Home, where she is now.

TO accuse the author of q Fools Errand
OF disloyalty and "Beurbonism" is the very
hight of the ridiculous. Yet Judge ToQrgee
is enjoying the wrath of some of the loyal
subscribers to Our Continent over the appear
ance, in recent number, of a poem on the
Confederate Memorial Day." in which the
heroes of the Last Cause was appropriately
commemorsted. The poem, which was not
signed, was in fact written by Judge Tourgee
himself, who had waited in vain for any
Southern poet to avail himself of the occa-
sion, and who repaired the omission by
drawing on himself, as he usually does in
such cases. In the current number of Our
Continent Judge Tourgee prints companion
piece, Decoration Day poem, which is, like
the other, something altogether unique in
its way.
