graced the centre of Washington society,
with her five little ones was found about
one week ago by the little girls in a
shabbily furnished room in South
Washington in destitute condi
ton, and almost on the verge

CONS immedia ely set about procuring
food and articles of clothing for the
very poor and needy family, and they

sistance can send their contributions to

A Tribute 20 .Capt.n Grant.

Our fellow. citizen, Captain u. s..
Grant, who has been employed for
several months by tho State in superin-
tending its military operations with
high honor to all, is now at home on a
visit. Captain G. is regular graduate
of West Point, and has seen much service
in the regular army, having been an
officer all through the Mexican war, and
was afterward in command in Oregon.
He resigned his captaincy about six
years since. We are now in want of
just such soldiers as he, and hope the
Government will ere long invite him to
take some higher command. He is the
very soul of honor, and no man breathes
who has more patriotic heart. We
want among our young soldiers the in
1luence of the rare leadership of men
like Captain Grant. - lGalena an
Gazette, May 30, 1861.

Georgia. mocking.Bird Sales.

Many mocking-birds are shipped from
Atlanta every season to the North and
West. The young birds are caught by
the hundred by small boys who peddle
them at fifty cents each. They are
kept in their native cline until they are
four or five months old and then are
sent by express to all parts of the coun-
try. A good bird, four months old,
is worth from SO to o., They sing we'll
when year old. II is astonishing to
what extent their initiative faculties
may be trained by patient ingenuity.
There is a mocking- bird in Atlanta who
whistles ''Dlxie, ""Last Rose of Sum-
mer," and two or three other airs per-
fectly. He is estimated at fabulous
value by his proud owner.-IAtlanta

The Letter Carriers Races.

The annual entertainment of the
letter carriers at Ivy City yesterday was
in every way decided success. The
program, which consisted Of horse
racing, athletic games, bicycle races,
&C., though somewhat delayed by the
storm, was admirably carried out.
Fully one thousand persons were pres
ent on the grounds, among whom the
local sporting fraternity was largely
represented. The trotting races were
the principal features of the occasion,
and were declared by the horsemen
the finest scrub races ever given in this
city. When the sport was begun the
elements for pleasant afternoon were
favorable. This continued until about
O'Clock, when the dark, heavy clouds
chased each other until Immediately
overhead.
The loud peals Of thunder and sharp
strokes of lightning announced the ar
rival of the storm, and for about thirty
minutes the rain came down in torrents.
After the storm passed over, leaving
the atmosphere cool and refreshing, the
races were resumed on the muddy, and
of course, slow track. The following
prizes were awarded: Gold medal, $50
yard race, w. S. Williams; silver
medal, William Mccullough; gold
medal, 100 yard race, w. S. Williams.
Three minute race, purse Of 500; Kate

The arrangements for flirting In Rich

weeks Of study to arrange them. When

Of them, he called Governor Van Zandt
Of Rhode Island and Vice-President
William A. Wheeler into the office Of the
Spring House, and, folding their ears
together in from of him, said confiden-
italy:
"You see, Richtield is always full of
lovers. Fifteen engagements were
made here last year."
"How did You bring them about2"
asked the Vice President.
swell, sir, built seven flirting pa
vilions, and seats for two; they are
twenty feet high and are approached
by winding stairs"
"But they seem rather exposed for
lovers retreats" | suggested.
mo, sir; not bit. You see they
hold only two. They are so high that
no one can hear a word said in them.
Now, Our beautiful young ladies used
to do their flirting on the balconies, but
the trouble was curious old maids and
mothers used to sit In the upper win
dows and listen to every word said.
One old lady from st. Louis used to sit
up all night and sleep dsytimes SO as to
be posted about engagements.

"And you call them lovers seats, dc
you?
mo, SIR" said Mr.. Proctor, in sur.
prise. "That would b 'eak up all the
lovers In Richiield. We call them wis
dom seats. That disarms all the ole
women. When sweet, beautiful
young lady comes and twlnes her white
bare arms around her mothers necl
and says, oh, mamma, George and
want to sit in the wisdom seats the ole
lady feels very proud. She says, JUL,
is so sensible. She's always trying tC
improve her mind"
"And when they get up there"
"Who got up there?" interrupted
the Vice President.
"Why, the lovers, of course. AS
was saying, when they get up there
and he takes her beautiful hand In his

The Monument Unscathed.

The officials in charge of the Wash
ington Monument had no information
OF the monument having been struck
by lightning during yesterdays storm
other than the published report to that
effect, but careful examination Of the
roof was made with a view to determine
ing whether any damage had been sus-
tanned. The examination did not dis
close a trace Of injury. The officials
believe that the structure is too well
protected to be in any danger OF future
damage from lightning.
