For the FARMER AND MECHANIC
Baby Footsteps.

Busily | ,ck and forth they tread.
Bahy feet of dimpled snow:
From D amma's knee to the cradle bed
Restlessly they go.
Pausinp a mon,ent TO pick MP a string.
STOPPING to gather some bright colorcd
scran.
Ribbon. or tinsel, or anything,
And heaping them all upon mammals lap.
Enchanted at first over every fresh treas.
ure,
Thinking it best for a minute or SO:
Then tossing it down for some newer
pleasure,
But a man in embryo!
Dear baby feet, so weak, and unsteady,
So oft leading to falls and to tears;
You are shadowing forth truly life's
journey already,
The false steps, the pains, and the fears.
And oh that mamma IN each fut ure sad
hour
To soothe thee could but keep the spell!
That her lips in your manhood would
still have the power
To kiss it, and make the hurt well!'

a few months. She never saw him again.
The first intirnatior Miss Bowie bad that
Powell was one of the Lincoln conspi-

Miss Bowie went to Washington during
he trial, but did not succeed in obtain
Ing an interview with p we'll. She
wrote to him, but does not believe her
letters were delivered, as she received no
response to her letters. She applied to
Secretary Stanton, but he refused her
permission to visit the Jail, and as the
military commission by which he WAS
tried sat with closed doors, all efforts to
see her lover were in vain.

The Old knickeYbockerS.

Mar IO.k, lime objectionable club
circles are greatly agitated over the
scandalous developments of the Living
ton-Fiemiug breach of promise suit. 1t
exposes the escapades of Henry Fleming,
President of the Central Refining Conn
panv. No. I76 Pearl street. and an infu
eutial member of the great petroleum oil
monopoly, and of Miss Mary Almont
Livingston, the grand daughter of the
late Chancellor Robert r. Livingston.
Mr.. Fleming is a millionaire, and Miss
Livingston, a beautiful blonde. is heiress
to al estate valued at $3.50, 900. The
complaint sets forth that the plaintiff is
an infant under twenty-one years of age,
and alleges that on June %, 1881, in
this city defendant promised and agreed
tn marry her within a reasonable time,
and that she gave her consent. Miss
Livingston AYERS that the defendant .
promise to marry was made solely fer
the object of seduclng and then aban-
doning her. and that, under this prom
Use, he carried out this object on June
%, 1881. and plaintiff gave birth to a
child on Jan. 16. 1882. Damages are
assessed at SIS 5000. The defendant de-
Eies that he promised to marry Miss Liv
irgston, and he charges that the plaintiff
was unchastc and an inmate of "A noto-
rious house where she resided. He denies
that any relations held with her were
contracted under promise Of marriage
and AYERS that she obtained from HIM
large sums of money. He also denies
the paternity of the child. The trial
promise an exposure of some rare secrets
of fashionable life in the metropolis.

RESPORDENCE.

From old Guilford, one of our young
friends, c. A. Wharton, Esq, writes to
give US a word of encouragement in these
dull times. etc. Thanks, sir, but we
judge that your opinion is very far from
that Of the majority though we do the
best we can. Mr.. Wharton mentions
that the wheat which is now being har-
vested, is splendid. His father spent his
s5th birthday in the field, shocking
wheat There aman for youD on Thurs
day, and never saw better grain to his
recollection. Tobacco also looking finely.
Very little corn planted in that section.

pleased to see some of our Edgecombe

we suppose, because we printed the
proceedings of the Whitakers, Battle
boro, and other, meetings denouncing
Railroad Monopolies, Determinations, etc.
that the Wilmington Il Weldon, and K. &
d. r. Railroads excepted the Farmer and
Mechanic from the remainder of the State
Press, in the matter OF passes to the State
Press convention. Of course we could not
have attended but the exception in vi
favor was significant. 1t Is perhaps not
surprising for the Railroads to look out
for number one; but would it not be equal
ly sagacious in the People, the Masses,
to look out for themselves by sustaining
the Press when it is known to forfeit
many %favors, profits, and emoluments
by championing their cause! The
temptation for the Press, particular
" the Southern press which is weak and
struggling, to side with the wealthy and
organized Few, against the scattered, and
careless Many, is very great, and daily
increasing, as the strength and power Of
corporations, and lobbying ambition of
INSCRIPTIONS schemers, extends through
out the land.

Ottdaoo, June 13.-The tide of suicidal
mania has reached our city. This after
noon the residents OF this locality were
shocked by the Teport that Miss Josie
Chalet had committed suicide under
very. painful circumstances. About 4
O'Clock she was found suffering from
spaslns, and in a short time she expired
IN great agony. On her body was found
a box of morphine pills and a package
OF ~strychnine. There was also a letter
addressed to Frank Williams, which was
as follows:
FRANK | can not live without you.
Forgive me. but | was jealous; l loved
you "a little too much. JOSIE.
Thi. formed a key to the probable
cause, and a jury was imPaneled, who
after a lengthy examination brought in a
verdict to the effect that she died by her
owa hand, and that the cause was unrs-
Quilted love. She appeared to be in the
best Of spirits up to the time of her death.
and no one suspected her intention of
taking her own life. Among the papers
found on the body was one on which was
inscribed the brief but touching sentence,
