Jennie Lewis, a colored girl, was
lodged in Jail for taking charge OF
some money found by smaller girl.
The money belonged to Major Bris-
tor, who lost it some time ago. The
girl on being brought before Justice
Mathews, acknowledged her fault and
failing to give bail, was remanded to
Jail to answer at the next Court. If
the culprit is young, and this is her
first offence, a reproof with good adj
vice might have saved her more like
~ than incarceration.
Some ladies have given rumor to a
capital joke at the expense of one of
our gallant young men-nothing less
than that he slumbered gently when
he should have been rapt in awe
and admiration at the depth OF
mind, eloquence of tongue and solidi-
ty of reasoning by which they hoped
TO hold captive their auditor in trans
ports the most sublime. Alas their
eloquence was wasted on the desert
air, and loquacity made soft the couch
of Morpheus. This is the most natur-
al and charitable corollary; others,
less appreciative and comprehensive,
by drg,taqe,at,tm dd ns,lierenl, draw an
opposite inference.
