A DANGEROUS spy.

A Woman Who Gave the Federal Govern
ment Considerable Trouble.
Prominent among the female spies
who gave the Federal Government =
great deal of trouble was woman
named Bailey. She crossed the Poto-
mac from Maryland in skitf rowed by
negroes. and made her way to Rich
mond, with many valuable articles
about her person. Then she came from
Richmond to Fortress Monroe under a
flag of truce. and was not discovered TO
be spy until the boat was about land
ing her passengers at Baltimore. Mrs.
Bailey appeared gay on the passage.
and at breakfast a Mr.. Bingham asked
loosely whether she was a secessionist.
To which she answered.: YES" TIE
boat having landed, Mrs. Baxley was
heard to say that she thanked God
that she had arrived home SAFE" and
when about stepping ashore. Mr.. Bing-
ham requested her attendance in the
ladies' cabin. As soon as the room was
reached she took off her bonnet, be-
tween the lining of which were fifty let
tiers sewed in, when she exclaimed that,
having been found out, she thought it
best to deliver over the '.contrabands"
and be allowed to 90. Mr.. Bingham
insisted upon it that she had others,
when in her shoes and stockings other
letters were also found. The lady was
thereupon guarded until the marshal
sent a lady to examine Mrs.
Bailey. Almost every posi-
bic place about her clothing
was filed with letters to the sympathiz-
ers in Baltimore. but in her corscts was
found document which, when taken
by the lady examining, Mrs. Bailey
rushed at her and getting hold of the
paper tore it in two. The lady exam
liner rushed at Mrs. Baxley at the same
time calling assistance. Mr.. Bingham,
was going on, rushed into the saloon
and found Mrs. Bailey hors du combat.

though torn. in the possession of the
marshars aid. The document was
commission from Jeff Davis to a DIR.
Septimus Brown, of Baltimore; also
passes and directions for him to run the
Federal blockade. The other documents
in the keeping of this female smuggler
proved to be reasonable correspond
ence DIR. Brown was Immediately
taken prisoner and sent to Fort McHen-
nv. Mrs. Bailey was taken to hotel.
While locked in her room she dropped
a note out of the window addressed to
her lover (the Confederate doctor) i'm
ploring him to fly, as all was discovered.
She was now quite disheartened. and
said she had braved all dangers for the
sake of her lover. and when on the
point of accomplishing all her cherish
ed desires the cup of happiness was
dashed from her lips. 1t seemed to be
her darling desire to get her lover into
the rebel army. She had diary de-
failing the prices of various articles of
necessity at Richmond and a memoran-
dunn of her having kissed the hand of
President Davis.-Be's: Perley Poore.

JUVENILE LITERATURE.

Moral Lessons Taught by the Columns OF
the Responsible Newspaper.
Scarcely day passes that the press
does not contain an item from some
part of the Union illustrating the evils
that grow out of the reading of perni-
cious papers and stories by children.
Probably not one instance of depravIty
in thousand resulting from such liter
allure gets into print. Girls and young
women are doubtless affected more than
are boys and young men, because they
have more time to read and less employ.
ment to divert their minds into useful
and instructive channels.
1t would be great exaggeration to
say that all or nearly all readers of
dime novels and fashy, sensational
papers and magazines go to the bad. A
very large proportion do not become
criminals or descend into the slums, but
their views of the responsibilities and
duties of life become DIV arfed or distort-
ed SO as to render them unhappy, and
they become the cause of much unhap-
piness to all connected with them,
either in the family circle or among
friends.
1t is not necessary that young people,
and children especially, should have
their reading matter limited to the
soody-goody books that in some re-
spects are as Objectionable as dime nov
els. There are many excellent books,
magazines and papers now published
especially for young people, that are
not only highly interesting, but are in
structive. and tend to develop the moral
character as we'll as the mind
1t is the duty of parents to know what
their children-smallo or large-read, to
forbid the read .ng of Objectionable mat
ter, and to provide for them wholesome
literature.
The popular paper is largely read by
children and youths. While it is OBJ
jected that much is published in such
papers that should be kept from the
eyes of children, it is the duty of parents
to teach them to separate the good
from the bad. Moral lessons may be
taken and strength of character devel-
oped from the accounts daily published
of great and even infamous crimes.
The worthy parent teaches his or her
children to avoid bad company, and to
pay no attention to improper language
heard ON the streets. The conscientious
newspaper gives a history Of the world,
the good and the bad, yet presenting
the bad in such a manner as to bring it
into contempt. and to hold the doers q
the evil up to public scorn. The evil
can not be ignored. Let it be reeeg.

THE COSTUMES.
President Cleveland was attired in
full evening dress suit, and wore turn
down collar, plain white lawn neck
tie, enamelled shirt studs and cuff but
tons to match. The bride wore an en-
chanting wedding dress Of ivory satin,
amply garnished on the high corsage
with India muslin, crossed in Grecian
folds and carried in exquisite falls Of
simplicity over the petticoats. The
orange blossom garnitnre, commencing
upon the veil in superb coronet, was
continued throughout the costume with
artistic skill. Her veil OF tulle COM
pletely enveloped her, falling to the
edge OF the petticoat in front, and ex-
tending the entire length Of her full
court train. Excepting the engage
ment ring-a sapphire with two
diamonds, and the plain wedding ring
which the president placed upon her
finger, the bride wore no jewelry what
ever.
THE BRIDAL PRESENTS.
President Cleveland's gift to his bride
was an elegant diamond necklace, the
stones being Nset in gold and extending
all around the neck. A large number
of presents have been received at the
mansion to-day. AS soon as they ar.
rived, however, they were quickly
conveyed out of sight. The members
| of the cabinet gave individual wedding
presents, some of which were quite
elaborate, but in accordance with
the special desire OF the president list
OF the presents received will not be
made public. During the progress Of
the ceremony salutes were fired, bells
were rung, and Prof. widows played
Mendelssohn's wedding march anc
other appropriate selections on tine
chimes of the Metropolitan church.
large number Of people gathered ii
front Of the executive mansion during
the ceremony, and while the wedding
party were at supper no precaution
were taken to prevent entrance to thu
grounds, and as they were quiet ant
, orderly no efforts we're made to exclude
them from the premises.
Soon after partaking of their wed
ding supper the president and his brid,
were excused, and according to apre
arranged plan quietly entered a car
riage at the south entrance to the man
sion and were driven to the K stree
} crossing of the Baltimore & Ohio rail

DIFFERENT KINDS OF TRAVELLERS OBSERVED

Have you noticed how some people enter

the car, then come back again and take one of
the seats she has just passed, and often after
she is seated change to another just exactly
like the one she leaves; never exactly decided
at home abroad.
The old traveller walks direct to the best seat
in the car that is vacant, i. e., the one nearest
the center aud on the shady side. not because
IT rides easier but IL is safer in case OF any ACCT
dent. The y. t., never passes a vacant seat, ii
the car is any way nearly full.
The small boy or his sister must get next the
window and usually flattens his nose against it
if it is not open, he being on his knees ON the
seat, We mean the small boy on q small
journey. Ii the trip lengthens out any he will
get all over the Car before he gets to the end OF
the trip.
The backwoOdsman will take the first seat
inside the door whether the car is crowded or
empty, and will put his entire family on the
OF the seat and the window If it's down in
Kentucky or Tennessee they will take OFT hats
and bOnnets and make themselves at home
