BABY HAS GONE TO SCHOOL.

The baby has gone to school ah, mel What will the mother do, With never 8 call to button or pin, Or tIe little shoe? How can she keep herself busy all day With the little "hindering thing" away? Another basket to fill with lunch, Another "good bye" to say, And the mother stands at the door to see Her baby march away; And turns with 8 sigh that is half relief And half a something akin to grief. She thinks of a possible future morn, When the children, one by one, Will 20 from their home out into the world, To battle with life alone, And not even the baby be left to cheer The desolate home of that future year. She picks up garments here ani there, Thrown down in careless haste; And tries to think now 1t would seem If nothing were displaced: If the house were always as still as this, How could she bear the loneliness?

Punctilious Ingratitude.
ExchAnRe.

It is more common than it ought to be for women to accept seats in horse cars and other such places, without a word of thanks to the men who rise to accommodate them; but the fault is not confined to women. Edward Livingston, although his name may be unfamiliar to many readers, was in his day very prominent lawyer, poll itician and diplomatist.
 While he lived in New Orleans, and, indeed, throughout his life, he was &C., customed to take long, solitary walks. One day he came home completely drenched, to the alarm of his family, one of whom exclaimed:
 "Why, you look as if you had just come out of the river"
 "And so I have," MT. Livington an- swered, laughing heartily.
 Walking on the levee, he had amused himself with watching the progress of a little canoe, in which 8 man was crossing the river. Suddenly the ca- noe pitched on one side, and the occu- pant fell into the water. His motions showed immediately that he could not swim.
 "I threw of my coat" said MT. Livingston, dumped in, got hold of the man just as he appeared to be sinking, and brought him to the boat, which was righted. He seized the side, clambered in, and rowed off without looking at me, and was left to find the shore as best I could, which, loaded as I was with clothes and boots, was not so easy matter"
 MT. Livingston's explanation of this strange conduct was, that proba- bly, the rescued man did not think it proper to speak to person to whom he had never been properly intro duced.

after yard of it is thus securely car- ried until the eye of the inspectress looks with suspicion upon the peculiar shape of the wearer, and she examines her. In the bustles have been found toilet bags filled with all sorts of odds and ends, such as silks, gloves, hat frames, yards, or rather hundreds of yards of ribbon, stockings, and every thing dear to the eye of the female. To lean women the curvatures in their corsets offer 8 snug resting place for quite number of dutiable goods that can be carried safer there than almost anywhere else. One woman was found with lace curtains pinned under her dress, taking the place of her usual underskirts. Silk has been found worn in the same manner, and ribbon has been wound around the legs and body until yard upon yard was concealed. When discovery is made the woman smuggler, of course, attempts bribe, but the amount is absurd, always very much smaller than man would for minute think of offering. A woman will offer the inspectress one dollar, and consider it 8 big amount. Ten dollars would break them all up. A mans bribe is hardly ever less than ten dollars, and frequently as high as fifty. The women inspectors will &C., cept no such favors, however. When a woman is suspected the inspectress informs the suspect of the necessity of undergoing inspection, and she is re- quested to go to her state-room. Then she is ordered to remove her outer gar ments, then the hustle, and, if the in- spectress considers it necessary to go further, she removes the remainder of her clothing.
 It is said that a good deal of solid information regarding smugglers is furnished by many dressmakers. Dur- ing the season these dressmakers send their forewomen abroad to purchase goods. They keep their eyes open, know all the women who go abroad to buy goods in the hope of evading duty on them, and send the informa. tion straight to New York. Another source of information is the stewards and stewardesses on the big ship lines. They receive percentage on all goods seized, and they will most remorse- lessly disclose the names of passengers who arc smugglcrs. They almost always know.
 Some of the recent seizures from women smugglers are as follows: : Four women passengers on the steam- ship "Servia" were found by an in- spectress to have concealed on their persons seventeen yards of cashmere. three yards of plush, five yards of cloth and twelve and one- half yards of satin. In their baggage were found twenty three yards of carpet, six plated forks, and neck-ties, gloves and other articles. In June last Collector Magone received letter signed Cor bett," which stated that quantity of goods had been smuggled to New York by Mrs. Adele G., who was passenger on the French steamer "La Normandie." The case was put in the hands of one of the agents, who went to the woman's home, on West Forty sixth street, and there seized about seventy five yards of very ex- pensive material. When found, the goods were concealed on the shelves of the tailor-shop of her husband. She brought them over concealed in some bedding, and claimed that she did not mean to be guilty of any offense.

two feet where the water is not running
over it, and it will yet stand good deal
Of wear and tear.
The criticisms of some OF the street
crossings by number of persons who at
tended the Episcopal church last Sabbath
evening are very severe and just, many
ladies reaching home with wet feet,
though protected by overshoes. Allusion
was especially made to the crossing lead
ing from the side walk in front of the res
idence of W. G. Allen to the church. Here
and there, at distances ranging from 3 to
feet, are few scattered boards, and a
false step is all that is necessary to land
the party in mud puddle ten inches
deep. The crossing, too, at Franklin and
Bond streets needs attention, there being
standing pool of mud and water, in the
middle of which is an old rlckety dry
goods box standing on one side and used
as stepping stone. Unless this is struck
fairly and squarely, or just right with the
foot, when the leap is made, parties cross
ing are liable to be thrown fat on their
backs in the mud with the box on top, en-
joylng the joke. Something should be
done in the matter before another wet
spell sets in.

DOWN THE LINE.
The Floods Too Much for the Railroad-The
Teton Bridge Badly Damaged.

We learn from reliable parties who
came from the Teton to-day that last
night that stream raised six feet in one
hour, and that it had spread out over the
valley ands covered the railroad track in
several places between the Teton station
and the bridge. Ten bents of the Teton
railroad bridge eight in the center and
two on the west end-were taken out,
rendering that stream impossible until
new piles are driven and the gaps closed.
At the Marias bridge, a mile distant
from the Teton, the ice is piled up against
the bridge, and fears are entertained that
part of it will be taken out. The grade
at the bridge approach IS undermined by
water and part of it settled, which can
probably be easily repaired by the use OF
ties and bridge timbers.
| The water both in the Teton and Marias
is said to be falling rapidly to-day, which
may leave the Marias bridge uniniured.
From private dispatches received to-day
it is learned that the passenger train
west bound, which arrived at Dawes
(Belknap) night before last is still detain-
ed there unable to move on account of the
condition of the bridges across Milk river
Milk river at the 5th crossing was rising
slowly this morning and the bulk of the
water was running through the new chan
mel that had been made for it when the
road was built At the 4th crossing a
number of piles are undermined and the
bridge impossible, though force is at
work and it IS expected that it will be re-
paired by tomorrow. From the present
outlook there is no telling how serious
the damage will be ere the waters sub
side We will not have another through
train from the east for day or two at
| best.
