DIED FROM Yesterday after.
noon about four o'clock weak-mnded col
cred woman named Mary Francis Blair,
who had recently come to this city from
Charles county, Md, and who lives in one
of the frame houses in the hollow near The
east end of the Wilkes street tunnel, was
sent By her sister, who also lives in the row,
to neighbours on some mission. The won.
an took with her on the trip John Blair, her
three-year- old nephew, and failing to return
within a reasonable time the mother OF the
child became alarmed. Night setting in,
and neither the woman nor child putting in
an appearance, their friends became alarm
ed, and started to search the city for them,
ringing bells and making other noises to at
tract attention. Though the search proved
futile, it was kept up until q late hour be.
fore it was abandoned, and was resumed
again this morning, when it once more
proved unavaiing in ascertaining the where
abouts Of the woman or child. The parents
of the child and the relatives Of the woman
had by this time been considerably exer-
cised, and grave fears for the wanderers
safety were entertained. Shortly after noon
to day, however, the police authorities here
were informed by telegraph by tho authori-
ties in Washington that the woman
had been picked up in that city, whittier
she had wandered, having the child,
or, as it subsequently proved, its dead
body, still with her, the little one having
expired from exposure during the night.
The parents OF the child were at once mott
fed of the fact. and they Immediately left
ior Washington to take charge Of the body.

LITERARY LEAVES.

Ballou's Magazine for August is q capital
number, and just what the people want for
their vacations. irst there is an illustrated
article on some parts OF Germany and a very
good illus rated account of Chill and its
glaciers. Then comes "Lewey and / or,
Sailor Boys Wsnderings," by VIM. III.
Themes, author of many books that are justly
celebrated among them his two latest, "The
Belle of Australia" and "On Land and Sea
or, California with Indians ia 1S43, IA, and
as" In "Lewey and 1" the scene is in Cali.
fornia during the Mexican war. The two
boy adventures are forced to serve IN the
Ne xican cavalry for short time. They
have some wonderful adventures in California
with Indians, mountain lions and ladrones
| are arrested on charge Of horse stealing,
acquitted after hearing, and have some
narrow escapes. 1t is most fascinating
story, and is historically correct. Ballou's is
published by Themes g. Talbot, 20 HawIey
st.. b ostoD, at 81 80 per year, or only 10
cents single copies. Ask your newsdealer to
order 1t for you. You won't regret it.
Lppincott's Magazine for August is spe.
ciaily adapted for summer reading. The only

Post Office Robbed.

Some time Saturday night or Sun
day morning burglars made an en-
terance in the rear of the postoflice
building by prying open the door.
They took with them sledge and
other tools from Darcy's and Coop
er's blacksmith shops with which to
assist them in opening the safe.
They darkened the front window
and went to work and drilled a hole
in the safe door between the lock
and handle expecting in so doing to
strike the dog in the lock and there
by open the safe without the use OF
powder. They failed to open the
safe which contained between $500
or $500 in postage stamps. They
took what change there was in the
drawers-about two or three dollars.
No clue to the guilty parties has as
yet been ascertained. IT'S likely
these same parties are the ones who
broke into the st. Clair post office
and are making their way northward.

Can't Stand It.

ED. ExPosIToR-Will you kindly
permit me, through the columns OF
your valuable paper, to set myself
right before the public as l have
been maliciously misrepresented by
certain parties who have discovered
that / possess knowledge, which if
brought to light, would be very
damaging to them and therefore
want to destroy my character in
order to save themselves. They
think that if they blacken my char
acter to the extent that the public
will look upon me with the strongest
kind of aversion that that, of course,
will be one point gained and will
pave the way to the next point which
is to break down my oath if should
be called to testify against them in
a court of justice. They have per-
sisted in lying about me. in such a
barefaced manner, that almost the
entire community have turned
against me, and i have stood the
pressure about as long as possible
without resentment to the extent of
self defense. Self preservation is
the first law of nature and I prob
ably have the same privilege Of pro-
tecting myself and my reputation
that others haye. 1t has been as
serted by the above mentioned par
ties that / am the most unprincipled
villain on earth. That there is moth
ing too bad for me to do, no crime
too horrible for me TO commit. They
say that ran away from Canada to
evade the law; that / attempted to
burn house with the occupants in
it; that / am liar and thief, &c.
Now / wish to state that all those
charges are utterly false and with
out foundation and furthermore that
if anything more is said upon the
subject ] will oblige them to either
prove their statements true or do
worse, for cannot and will not
stand it any longer.
