Tho aovernment's old Guns.


 A vast number of old muzzle-Iosding small arms, which accumulated during and after the late war, have been sold. They were pur- chased by Grand Army posts, military com panies, and private individuals all over the United States One lot of over 8o.O0O En- field muskets were sold to an English firm at $1.25 each. The firm has been trying to speculate with them ever since. The los has been offered to several South American re- publics, but they yet remain unsold. The supply of old hint-lock muskets in possession of the government is very limited, but, strange to say, those primeval pieces are still in demand. Any number of them can be sold in Africa. where they are popular on account of the presence of flint there in abun- dance and the entire absence of percussion cap factories. The number of old arms on hand in the government arsenal will aggregate 100, GOO of all kinds. They are being sold at prices ranging from 25 cents to $1 each. The latter priced pieces are complete and the for mer either incomplete OF badly trusted. Over two-thirds of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie posts in this country have been supplied from the collection of Belgian and Austrian musksts used during the first part of the war. These posts and numerous military compa- nies have also been equipped with the old waist belts, plates, bayonet scabbards and cap boxes. The above equipment complete, with gun, is sold at $1. 40. When new the same guns cost the United States from $14 to $15 each. Hundreds of cavalry sabres, which flashed in the sunlight" on many . memorable field, are sold at @1 apiece, the belts and plates costing 25 cents additional. Sporting dealers are rapidly buying up all the old smooth-bore muskets, for which they pay $1. In many instances they are sent to England or France and converted into breech- loRderS.

Baby and Jack.

It has been going on for a year past. Jack is carrier for one of the dailies, and his cir cult takes in house on Scott street. One day last spring baby crowed at him from an open door on that street, and Jack tossed an apple into the hall. The next day the baby was watching for him, and after three or four days the boy made bold to slip up the steps and pat the little chap on the head and leave the stick of candy he had purchased two miles away. As time went on Jack came to know that the baby was fatherless, and that its mother was pale-faced and hardly able to drag about. It was weeks before she spoke to him, but the baby took to Jack right away and was always ready for his coming. After the first week it was always clean-faced, but it was good while before Jack reused up the courage to give him 8 kiss and to ask for one in return. After that it was piain sailing, and the neighbors became interested. 1t waa queer enough that boy like Jack, having his own way to make and roughing it until he had become suspicious and hard hearted, should catch on to a little whitehead, and be more than big bother to him, but that wal what happened.
 And something more. One day he brought up 6 quarter of pound of tea and left il where the mother would find 1t, and this was followed by other parcels and articles. One day he missed the baby and crept into the hall to find that he had cried himself to slseT and that the mother was ill and helpless. Jacf reused up the neighbors, vend whatever va. eaten in that house for the next two week. was purchased with Jacks money. The mother could only thank him and weep She could not speak ten words of English.
 A foEtnight ago Jack missed baby again and again he found the mother i'll. Friends were with her this time and she did net suf fer for care. A week ago there was crape ol the door as the carrier went his round, and baby had been carried of by neighbor When Jack came around next day the mother had been buried and people were watching t' tell him that the house was to be vacated am baby was to go to distant city. He hat been brought back to bid the carrier good bye. and the poor and lowly people drew of with tears in their eyes, and Jack sat on th' doorsteps and took baby in his lap an' smoothed his white heed and kissed his rel cheeks. Baby clung around his neck au' seemed to realize that he was to lose friend, and, as one who stood by expressed it:

 LAFAxETTE, Oct. 1.-The intense excite ment of the mob at Fowler subsided this morning and the men who were mad in their efforts to lynch the murderer Nelling last night dispersed to their homes. In anticipa- ton of renewal of hostilities under more determined leaders tonight the sheriff se- cretly conveyed Nelling to Lafayette this af- ternoon by railroad and this action has arons- ed much indignation.

Court Notes.

Phoebe Short denied in the City court yes- terday morning the charge of stealing from Eldridge T. Lansel, a sailor on the Rodney Parker schooner, who went with her to 8 room at 131 State street Tuesday evening. She said that when she left the apartment Lansel was asleep. Judge Studlsy said there was not much doubt but that she took the money and fined her $5 and costs and sent her to jail for fifteen days. Lansel, who was the principal witness against the accused, admitted that she was in the room with him and upon his invitation. Then 8 warrant was made out for his arrest on the charge of lascivious carriage. The judge in fining him $7 and costs said that it was evil dent that the woman would never have gone to the place unless Lansel had persuaded her, thereby placing her in temptation to steal the money. He was to blame for that and should auffar
