"MoTHER's COME"


Where the rcd-stemmcd brier grew
In a city of thedead,
That idly wandered through,
By capricious fancy led,.
Mid group of graves found
Something nc'er to be forgot,
Der the largest, grcenest mound
This inscription, "Childrcnw "What?"
"Mother's comer'
And asked myself with tears,
Had they slept this little throng,
All the lonely, silent years
Had the children waited long?
Babes, were you afraid or cold?
Did the years seem long or not
Till the birds and flowers told
Ofhcr coming9 'Childrenw "What?"
"No.hcr's come!'

The Tallsst Chimney in the World,

A paragraph was recently publish
ed describing the Mechernich lead
works in Germany as having the tall,
est chimney in the world. This is al
error. A taller chimney is that OF
Joseph Townsend at Port Dundas,
Glasgow, Scotland, built in 1S57S0
The foundation consists of thirty
courses of brick work, the lowermosl
course forsy-seven feet in diameter
The hight above the foundation Il
454 feet. The diameter at the base
Is thirty-two feet ana thirteen feet
six inches at the top. A nine-inch
lining built inside, distinct from the
chimney, with a space between the
walls, is carried up to height ol
sixty feet. Mr.. Corbet was the bull

LAND PIRATE or THE WAR.

From the Harrisburg Telegram.
The name of John Singleton
Mosby, the guerilla cLieftaiu, does
not occupy bright and shining
page in war history. As rule, his
toliaus have considered him beneath
the notice Of their pens, but it is Il
fact that tLis iand pirate Of the re-
belliou, with a command numbering
not over TOO bush wackers, of abou,
the same caliber aud murderous dis
position as their leader, managed to
harass the union lines to such al
extent that it required an aruy OF
as many thousands to keep his de.
predatory baud in u partial subiec"
tion.
Recently | travelled over that Sec
ton of Virginia known in war times
as Mosby's confederacy, which,
coupled with the experience OF meet
lug him in several skirmishes during
the winter and spiug of 1868, led
me TO look up the record Of this
.gentleman Of the road" who threat,
ems to lecture, the change of ad-
ministration having Sprived him q
his political soft snap as minister to
Hong Kong. 1t will bo remember
ed that during 1864 Mosby was not
as fresh as usual, either the press
ence of Sheridan in the valley or
other causes having made linn timid.
The other causes are somewhat
startling if true. While in Lees
burg met captain q the late G.
s. A, who assured me Wat The dar-
ing bushwaeker was ia\ \he employ
and pay OF the United yates gov
erument at that time, a let which
could be proven by exanA Aing the
records in the adjatant GENERALS
Office. The captain, who rSnested
his name to be withheld seete to
be honest in his assertion, andV dg-
ing from Mosby's record, it uld
not be surprising to find him a it'
or to the confederate cause he CID n.

EGGS By WEIGHT.

Isn't it strange that we buy and
sell eggs by number instead of by
weight /? Number does not show
their value weight does. Some
eggs weigh twice as mach as others.
What justice or business sagacity is
there in paying the same price for
one as for the other Is not the
farmer who sells large egg for the
same price that his neighbor sells a
small ono cheated : And is not the
buyer of the small egg cheated ?
Just as well might butter be sold by
rolls, the small roll bringing as
much as the large one. We do not
buy or sell butter by the number of
rolls, or meat by the number of
pieces, or cheese by number nor
should we sell eggs by number.
If eggs were bought aud sold by
weight, the value Of certain breeds
of fowls would be changed Now
the breed that furnishes the greats
est number of eggs is the most pro-
titable ; then it would be the breed
that furnished the greatest weight
Some breeds are remarkable for the
smallness of their eggs such breeds
would suffer in popularity, while
the fowls that lay large eggs would
gain. This would work only justice,
however, to the fowls, ap 1t would to
their ownors and the consumers.
Clearly eggs should be sold by
weight. Then why does not every
one insist upon II i-CAmerican
Agriculturist.

Sealed Obscene Letters.

Judge Sabin, of the United States
district court, in Galveston, Texas,
made a ruling upon q question of a
good deal of general interest. The
United States grand jury at it's re-
cent sitting returned an indictment
against a young German, Carl Friet-
sche, for sending obscene literature
through the mails. Frietsche was
courting a yonng German woman in
the city who lived with her married
sister Not satisfied with Frietsche.
the married sister forbade his visits
to the house, whereupon he wrote
her several scurrilous letters about
the younger sister. This led to his
arrest and indictment. The case
came up for trial last week
The evidence devulged the fact that
tho obscene letters were sealed, aud
the court ruled that, iuasmuch as
the obscene matter was sealed and
sent by one person to another thro'
the medium of the mails, there was
no violation OF the federal statutes.
Judge Sabin is the third Uuited
States judge to sustain the above
ruling, while some fifteen federal
courts have ruled directly to the
contrary. The question, therefore,
seems unsettled, and is now tefore
the supreme court Of the United
States for final adjudication.

said, NO, the drum excites men tc
battle" but ho after " ards relented
through Captain Mounijoy's earnes,
appeal. The prisoners we're again
ordered in liue to draw for a man TO
take the drummer boys place. A
lieutenant drew tho death ticket
this time. Tho condemned men
were ordered 10 fall 10 liuo, aud
were taken from thence through
Asby's gap to liosemout, on the
edge of Beiryvillo, whore Tho sep.
tences were execute |. The liouten-
ants lifo was saved by Captain
MounIjoy on account Of Frecma-
eonry Mosby, who was not a
Mason reprimanded Captain Mount
JOY for his action in saving the lieu
tenant. Three Of the men were
hnng and the others shot. One
Michigan oavalryman laughed at bis
eAecntiopers, as thoy adjusted the
moose about his neck, saying "For
this cowardly act on your part |
have one satisfaction, for every man
you murder here to. day Custer will
kill twenty bushwhackors." The
last prisoner called upon to suffer
the penalty escaped. When he was
led up to the tree he struck tho
guard who held him by the collar, a
blow which fellod him to the ground,
rushed past him, and screened by
the misty dawn was soon lost to
view.
Ia Mosby's narratives he is con-
tinually relating how half,dpzen Of
his mon were constantly capturing
whole companies Of the union cav
alrymen. A little anecduie or dc
scription of Il running fight that
'iousoDaut Ferris, Of tho Thirtieth
Massachusotts, had with some of his
men near Stophenson's depot will
show how iruo are his yarns OF
military raids. Ferris was seen by
about twenty Of Mosby's men to
pass rapidly from Colonel Bonham's =
honse TO the stable which was situat-
ed in the corner of the yard. Two
of AIosby's meu made a demand for
his surrenacr ~
"Neyer, aty. ~ >--'-'nlat,. orris.
The firing then began, and al
though the 'rebs" were begirt will
pistols, Ferris's unerring aim lait
seven Of tue guerills low. He thor
seized one Of the wounded Johnnie
horses and escaped. Two of the
rangers were killed while in pur
suit. Among tho men Ferris klleC
was George Murray Gill, a wealth,
Baltimorean's son and gradual,
from Princeton college, He wa,
one OF almost numberless incidents 9
where a squad OF Mosby's men wer,
Whipped by one union soldier.
Mosby may find the lecture felt
profitable, but rdvise him to stoel
clear Of the state of Michigan. There
are still living some of Clusters ole
brigade, who might feel disposed t.
make his soiourn unpleasant. Poi

The result of the election in this
Congressional District on the end
inst. exceeded the highest antlcipa
tons entertained by the Democra
tic party. Mr.. Gay has carried the
District by a majority of more than
5000 votes, which was hitherto con
ceded to the Republicans by a ma
jority fully as large. This unusual
victory is ii tlatteriug commentary
of the people or Mr.. Gays course
in the 10th Congress The colored
voter has demonstrated to the willy
white politician, in whose hands
he has for 10! these many years
been an innocent tool, that the in
suit perpetrated on his race by the
exclusion of Mr.. Davidson was,
more than they could tolerate and
leave nnrebuked. He, as a race
has now joined hands with the hon
est and intelligent white element
throughout our parishes towards
the maintenance of an honest and
enconomical administration OF pub
lie affairs, and with the prosperity
that will follow they will alike be
benefited.

In your issue Of the 30th., ult., an
article calling the attention of Ba
You Lafourche planters of building
II Railroad on that stream is Ger
tainly very appropriate, and indis
penSable to the whole community
of this rich and fertile section. The
richest section this road..would ira
verse and the enormous quantity
OF sugar, molasses. rice and freights
from n. o. would naturally seek
transportation through this road,
as Bayou Lafourche is closed to nav
lgation, the better portion Of the
year, when these products have an
outlet. The right of way is being
given by planters. The costs OF
lines and levels betrayed by them;
the question of building is bnt a
secondary one. This road built
could pay dividends before many q
day.
