PhOtOgraphing the Baby.

Most young married couples have a
first baby" except i'll rare cases,
when they have twins Then they
have two first babies The first baby
is always a remarkable child Such
physical beauty, such intellectual
qulckness and genius, and such moral
perfection We're never beforn united
in one being. Other babies may be
all very well in their way, but this
first baby is something peculiarly
marvellous All its aunts rave over
it, and even its uncles are moved to
say, Observation-Disclosures eecher," and
chuck it Inder the chin with fore
finger by way of ingratiating them
selves with the infant.
OF course the fond parents think
that the infant must be photograph
ed The world at a distance should
not be denied the opportunity of gaz-
ing upon its lineaments: a record
should be kept of its loneliness. So
some fine sunshiny day they go to a
photographer. Then the first baby
Immediately begins to quarrel, and
fret, and look less beautiful than us

his best clothes. He wants things that
he sees in the photographers show
case, and not obtaining them begins
loudly to protest. He refuses to
yield TO pacificatory Establishments,
and keecher- keecher-keecher fails to
soothe. At last his turn comes The
mother wants him in certain posi-
ton. The photographer doesn't APP
prove of that position, and the baby
won't have it. Finally compromise
is effected. The photographer jingles

a stick all at once, hoping thereby 10

What They Both Thought.

1t was twenty-five minutes past T.
The buggy was at the door to take him
to the train. His hand was on the
knob. Good -by," he called out. There
came from somewhere upstairs
through the half-opened door, a
feminine voice, Good by; then he
had gone out into the glad spring air,
odorous with the foretokens of coming
life and musical with the songs of the
nest builders. But there was no song
in his heart, no spring hope and light
in his life as he took the reins out of
his groom's hand and spoke to his im-
patient horse sharp Get on" And
as he rode through the royal avenue
that led up to his house, this is what
he thought:
If | had been "a guest, Martha would
have been up and dressed. She would
have had a spray of fresh flowers at
my plate. She would have sat at the
table and seen that my coffee was
good, and my eggs hot, and my
toast Drowned. And should have at
least parting shake of the hand, and
hope expressed that | would come

handkerchief from the balcony. And

sunshine, as the last gift of her graci-
Gus hospitality. 1t is chance if she

of their being redeemed. Where is

1t is the scheme of some fellow over

No, do not 1t is absurd. to be-
gin with. The confederacy did not
have such plethora of finances as to
cause it to leave millions lying around
loose. Then, too, the agents of the
treasury have tried in vain to find any
of those reported funds there. We
had some of our best men engaged in
the work, and, if there had been any
funds of any consequence there, we
should know something of it. You
can depend upon it the confederate
bonds and confederate money will
never be redeemed

1T WAS LOADED.
A Young Bride MortalIy Wounded
Through Her own CarlcsnesS.

CLEAVELAND PAPER,-One of the
most sorrowful accidents, as the result
of the careless handling of a pistol,
that has ever been recorded here, and
one that is exceptional because it is in
the higher walks of life, with hand
some bride as the victim of her own
carelessness, has just come to light,
although extraordinary efforts were
made to keep it secret. The victim is
Mrs. Garrison. the beautiful and ac-
compiished wife of Sylvester Garrison.
of the White Sewing Machine
Company. Mr.. and Mrs. Garrison
We're married the 10th of July, and
had just returned from the usual tour
and were stopping at the residence OF
the senior Garrison, on Lake street,
where the accident happened last
evening. Mr.. and Mrs Garrison and
Mrs Haggerland, the brides sister,
were i'll the parlor at the time Mrs.
Garrison was showing an elegant
pearl handled, 22-calibre revolver,
which was present from her husband,
and the two were joking each other
about their proficiency in handling
firearms. Mr. Garrison had, as he
supposed, withdrawn all the cartridges,
and hence no alarm was felt by him
although the pistol was pointed and
snapped at both husband and sister.
Mrs. Garrison is an unusually good
marksman, and was telling of her
proficiency when Mrs Hagerland,
who cannot handles pistol with any
effect, said, 20, pshaw you couldn't
hit the side of your own enlarged
Uranium" Couldn't II" said Mrs,
Garrison, with gay flourish of the
pistol, and she pointed it at her head
and pulled the trigger The one
chamber proved to be loaded, and the
ball penetrated the skull about two
inches above the right ear. Drs.
Peck and Jewel made efforts to extract
the ball, without even locating it. The
physicians say there is very little
hope for the lady's recovery. But,
strange to say, she has not been un-
conscious at any time since the ac-
cident, and being very nervy and
determined person, she has withstood
the shock wonderfully well, and on
this the physicians base their only
hope of recovery. Another effort
will be made to extract the ball to-
morrow.

doubtless go on photosraphing first

A Treasury Surprise.

4 Washington special to The Bos-
ton Herald says: The recently-pub-
lished statements, in effect that sever
al millions of dollars remain in some
mysterious depository in Europe for
the payment of the interest on confed-
crate bonds. with the equally interest
ing statement of Gov Butler that the
United States treasury holds some
millions of confederate money which
ought to be first redeemed if any such
fund exists, led to some inquiries at
the treasury to-day. A long search
developed the fact that Gov. Butler
was right in his statement that the
government holds quantity of con
federate money in the treasury. 1t
also developed another curious thing,
that very few of the officers of the
treasury were aware that such was the
fact A long inquiry among leading
officials. including such as Acting Sec
rotary French, the acting treasurer,
the head of the loan division, the cash
Ter of the treasury. and others failed
to discover any knowledge OF any con-
federate funds so held. A subordi-
nate, however. ventured the statement
that the division of captured and aban-
doned property might have some.
There many millions of confederate
money and some bonds were found.
The acting head of the division said:
There are not many bonds, but there
is large amount of the money; pre-
sumo there may be $50, 900. 900 of the
money and bonds, all told. 1t was
captured during the war at various
times and places, and sent here. l

Slaves Set Free in Brazil.

The news has just been telegraphed
to me from Ceara, a province of
Northern Brazil, that the slaves of
the city of Fortaleza and its whole
electoral district were set free ON the
Path inst, by spontaneous move
ment of the people. do not believe
that the records of emancipation have
any nobler or purer page than the one
that the people of Ceara have Just
written in Brazilian history. The
abolitionists of Ceara hope to have the
entire province made free III very
short time, and the redemption of the
slaves of its principal districts is u
great step in that direction This has
been obtained by every owner aband-
oning his rights of property, renoun-
cling his legal claims on the bondage
of his feliow-men, and periodically
contributing to raise the name of his
native country. The lead i'll this
movement was taken two years ago
by the poor raftsmen of Ceara, who
refused to convey the slaves from the
shore to the vessels which were to
carry them down south. And what
has happened now. The creation of
the first cellule of higher national
organism is the result of that strike.
l am sure the effect of such an achieve
ment which promises to us Brazihans
one free-soil province before many
months are over, will be to hasten the
day when our country shall have rid
herself of the torpid atmosphere which
now deadens her. Allow me then to
hail in The Times this advent to lib
erty of a large area and population in
Brazil destined to be the centre of for
nation of a new country, which we
can already see leaving the rudimen-
tary and backward form of slavery

THEY NE'ER COME BACK.

More than forty years ago:
They have ne'er come back TO me.
They go sailing to and fro;
They come to me in my sleep,

With tattered sails and battered bulls.
While around them scream the gulls,
Flying low, flying low.
Every sailor in the port
Knows that ! have ships at sea,
Made of winds and waves the sport.
And the sailors pity me:
They come 10 me in their walk,
To console me with their talk,
Saying: You will live the day to see
Your proud ships come back from sea,
One and all one and all"
Though live thousand years,
They will ne'er come back to me,
But In spite Of hopes and fears
