LITTLE Tim.


Over the paling peepcd little Tim,
With a roguish look In his bright, black eyes;
He called to the children TO cone to him,
And help him to catch the butterflies.
Drowned and burned by the summers sun,
Uuder a hat of plated straw.
Hopeful. healthy. and full of fun,
Was the cheerful face saw.
heard the hum Of the honey-bees,
The ehirp OF the grasshoppers still and clear;
The robins singing amid the trees:
The clatterifg scythes in the meadows near;
The rustling wind through the apple boughs,
The murmuring sound OF the hillside
stream:
The tinking bells on the distant cows,
While sat il a sweet day-dream.
fashioned future for my boy.
As only a hopeful mother can;
Ny soul seemed filed with sense of Joy,
saw him grow ioa goodly man;
The prop and stay of OF my feeble frame,
The pride and hope of my later days;
He mounted the splendid heights Of fame;
Men uttered his honest praise.
To-day, while the Winter wind blew shrill
Through he moaning pines In the vale below,
We bore him sadly over the hill,
And laid him und the drifting snow
Under the willows, blank aud bare,
Under the dark clouds. cold and cray,
Under the snownakes. white and fair.
We buried our hopes to-day
/ dream again, while tonight stand
BY my window and gaze AT the bowling storm,
OF my little boy in The Better Land;
And seem to see his shining form
Through II rift in the clouds, while | watch
and wait
For the yous summons to go to him.

A VIZ "Reminiscences.

Reading General Lev Wallace's let
ter to he Eleventh Indiana Regiment,
defending his course nj Shiloh, l was
reminded of IN incident that happened
shorllyalter that conf ct, said vete.
ran OF the war. 1t happened at Louis
Vile, and General Wallace and the
late General Z. o. G. Ord. his son (who
acted AS one Of his fat hers aiies), and
Major James II. Ross. of this city. who
was NJ the time acting AS Wallace's
aide de- damp, wee the parties inter
esled There WAS always an air OF
superiority worn bg the officers of the
regular army toward those of the vol
unteor servlce, and tn s feeling was so
bitter ON the part of some as to be the
cause of feeling, amounting almost
to positive hatred. Ord was General
of the regulars, and his son was
Lieutenant in the same service, of
equal rank with Ross, a volunteer, and
young Ord frequently took occasion
to snub his comrade, but the latter was
not the kind of man TO ioady 10 any
one. 1t was after the battle of Shiloh
and number of general officers and
the members of their STATS were at
Louisville, with headquarters at the
Louisville Hotel, among the number
being General Ord and his son. They
never omitted an opportunity 10 speak
sneeringly of General Wallace, or, for
thai matter, any volunteer officer.
One night young Ord was engaged i'll
playing billiards in the billiard room
of the hotel, and his father was in the
corridor talking with some other
officers. II was proposed that he party
take walk about the city. and rs the
night was cool, the General turned to
Major Ross, and, in tone OF command,
said:
Lieutenant, go to my room and get
my overcoat."
The young officer turned sharply,
and, without offering to obey the com
mand, replied, jerking his thumb over
his shoulder in the direction of the
billiard room:
There is All officer in there, sir,
who can act as your servant"
The General said not ing, but was
forced either 10 make his son stop
playing to do the errand or climb the
stairs himself, and chose the former
course. After this occurrence young
Ord was even more overbearing in his
demeanor toward Ros, than ever
before, and the feeling of luminosity
between Them was greatly embi'tered.
One night, shortly afierward, General
Wallace was standing in II group of
officers at the hotel, and near at hand
was Young Ord with mixed party OF
soldiers and civilians. someone in

A Floating Theatre.

A floating theatre Is the last innovation in
the histrlonic world proposed by some enter
piising New Workers. A company has been In
corporated, the capital being placed at 1, 600.
900, TO be divided into 100000 shares. Tho
lrst boat, which is 10 be called the Gladiator,
is to be built on the catamaran principle, and
the structure VIII be supported on two steel
cylinders OF twenty feet each. The dlmen.
sions will be 276 feet In length by sixty-six
feet in width. The motive power Will be
compound engine OF 2,500.horse power, while
the draught Will be seven aud a-half feet. State
room accommodation for a company OF 100 Will
be provided, while tho seating capacity OF the
theatre itself, including parquet and two
balconies, Will be for 1900 people. The par
quet is TO be on the front OF the vessel, taking
up little more than one-third its length, and
the stage will be In the middle. Tho engine.
room, state-rooms and dining-rooms and
kitchen will occupy the after-part. Tho boat
is to be built by contract and Will cost $780,
600. The idea is to visit such towns as New
port, Albany, Newark, Paterson, Stonington
and Fall River, anchor alongside the dock and
give them a frst-rate performance. 1t Is pro:
posed TO have a regular stock company, who
will live on the boat all the year round. The
cost OF running II Will not be nearly 30 much
as that Of managing q theatre on land, and
there will be no land taxes. Later on the pro.
1ectors propose 10 have boats to take In the
Delaware and Chesapeake bays.

Have We NobIeman Among Us ?

A year or eighteen months ago member OF
the nobility of England and his son were
cruising around In these parts. Among other
trips they took one down the Potomac to Mt.
Vernon. Struck with the beauties OF that sec.
tion OF the Old Dominion they surveyed the
country for miles on each side Of Washington's
old home. one day they brought up about
dinner time at the house OF Mr.. =, who own
ed a plantation OF several hundred acres OF the
richest land on the whole Potomac limo. They
were invited to partake OF dinner by the hos
pitable host, which Invitation was accepted.
After dinner they accompanied their host In
tour OF inspection over his plantation. They
were so impressed with Its beauties, fertility
and advantages that the father, after some
chaffering, purchased the whole outft-every-
thing on the place but three horses, and put his
son In possession thereof. The former owner
removed his family to this city, and are comfort.
ably located on First street northwest, while
the son 10 carrying on the plantation IN good
old English style, and seems well pleased with
his now home. None OF his neighbors, with
whom he is quito popular, are aware OF the
blue blood that flows In his veins, and treat
him as one OF themselves. The father has re.
turned 10 his ancestral oaks In Old England,
where he will spend the remainder OF his days,
while his son remains here, and will probably
establish branch OF his noble house right
here on the classic banks OF the Potomac.

The Origin of scarlet Fever.

New NOTk Times.
somewhat startling theory OF the origin
OF scarlet fever Is propounded by DR.. j. q.
Peters, prominent and influential physician
OF this city. AT q meeting OF the Columbia
Veterinary College last night DR.. Peters adj
yanced the hypothesis that the scarlet fever
OF This disease may be ultimately traced to
these animals. The arguments, facts and
data furnished 10 fortify the theory are formid-
able, and Will go far TO convince inquirers.
Should this discovery be amply verified the
time may come whom equine virus must be
used for purposes OF incubation, and the
smallpox now lie, by skillful physicians and
surQeOns.
