Grandma CRUZ said curious thing
Boys may whistle but girls must sing
That's the very thing heard her say
10 Kate, no longer than yesterday.
"Roys may whistle" Of course they may,
II they pucker their lips the proper way.
But for the life of me | cant see
Why Kate cant whistle as well Us me.
Boys may whistle but girls must sing
Now call that a curious thing.
II boys can whistle why cant girls. too?
It's the easiest thing in the world to do.
First you do that. then you do this
Just ike you were fixing up for kiss.
It's a very poor glr!, that's all | say.
Who cant make out to do that way,
"Boys may whistle" but girls may not
4 whstle5a song with the noise knocked out,
Straypd of some where down in the throat,
Everything lost but the changefuI note.
So IL boys can whistle and do it well.
Why cannot girls. Will somebody tell?
Why can't they do what boy can uoy
That is the thing would ike to know.
| went to father and asked him why
Girls couldn't whistle as well MS |.
And he said THE reason that girls must sing
Is because girls Il singular thing"
And grandma laughed till / knew she'd ache
When saidl thought II all a mistake.
Never mind, little man." heard her say,
They will make you whistle enough some day.

FOOTBALL AT PETERSBURG.
The Richmond Boys Object to the I'm
pire's Decisions and Quit Playing.

A match game Of football at least part
Of one. was played between the University
School at Petersburg and the Richmond
College football teams on the grounds OF
the former Yesterday afternoon at2 O'Clock.
The uniforms Of the home team consisted
of white canvas jackets and knickerbock-
ers with blue and white striped caps and
stockings, while the visiting boys came out
dressed in white canvas with black stock
ings and blue toboggan caps.
A large crowd was assembled to witness
the contest. and it was moment of in
tense excitement when the teams took their
respective positions. The first kick OF
was won 10y the home players, and they
came on with the force of a cyclone.
From the first the game was holly con-
tested. the trouble being that the two
teams had placed different interpretations
upon the rules and neither cared to yield.
In a few minutes the home team scored a
goal after touchdown and afterwards q
touchdown, counting ten for their side.
Then the RichmOnds carried the ball be-
yond their opponents goal and the play
was interrupted by the McCabe side claim
ing a foul.
A sharp discussion arose which ended IN
the Richmond College team refusing 10
continue the game, since they could not
abide by the decisions Of the umpire.
They saw that the entire game would be a
succession of contentious and the captain
accordingly ordered his men TO fall out of
line and give up the game.
The umpire decided a victory for the
Petersburgers by a score of 10 to 0.
The Petersburg players were well up in
the rules and their playing was remarkably
good, while the Richmond boys, though
very much heavier, depended too much
upon their individual work and did not
play together.
The Petersburg boys entertained the
visiting team in manner highly credit
able to themselves and very acceptable TO
the visitors

the fierce flame of fire which. like n deluSe.
threatened TO DESTROY the business portion
of our fair city on the morning of the 7th

vice, our fire department having gotten the

il is mono the less their due that
they should receive the most cor
dial thanks Of our people. ] regret
that any imputatiOn of blame should be at
tached 10 the railroad company, believing,
as do, that there could have been no pos
sible motive for their delay except the
safety of the trains on their road. Please
convey to the Fire Department OF Rlch-
mOnd my thanks, and accept Tor yourself
assurances Of my official and personal re-
gard, and of the readiness of the FIRE
Department of Petersburg to reciprocate,
whenever required, should your city OF

STREET BEGGARS.
Six of Them Met In Walk Over as MANY
Squares.

There were an unusually large number Of
street-beggars out yesterday.
A gentleman leaving the Hotel Dodson
and walking up Bank street met an old
negro woman at Eleventh street. She
pleaded for nickel to buy bread.
An able-bodied white man was standing
in front of the custom-house and stopped
passers-by and had his story of misfortune
to unfold. He had just reached the city,
he said, and wanted money to buy food
and pay for lodging.
The same gentleman walked down Ninth
street and at Main he was stopped by a
young man who had just come TO the city
and desired money to pay his fare north.
Walking down Main street. q small negro
boy was met at Tenth. He claimed to have
no parents and asked for q cent TO help buy
him pair of shoes.
In front Of the post-office were two young
white men. One of them wanted assist
ance in the way of procuring lodging and
the other declared that he needed some
thing to eat.
Six beggars were thus encountered in
walk of six squares-a thing very unusual
indeed in this thrifty, growing. and pros
porous city.

NOT CONVICTED, BUT HELD.
Strong Evidence TO Prove Lena Granger
Thief-Other Cascs.

In the Police Court yesterday morning
Lena Granger, a young c0lOred woman,
was charged with stealing $40 in gold from
Room No. &c Murphy's Hotel, the property
Of L. =. Faris.
Colonel John Murphy testified that Mr..
Fairs, gentleman from Washington, who
occupied Room No. 20 in his hotel Sunday
night. reported to him that he had lost $40
1.-TWO $40 gold pieces. They made an IN
vestigation and suspicion pointed to the
girl Lena, who made up the bed that had
been occupied on the night previous to
the robbery. The girl, when questioned
about the money, denied knowing any
thing of it. Subsequently he (Murphy)
asceTtaincd that the girl had been spend
ing money freely, and at +. II. Spences
store the accused had purchased pair of
shoes and gave the clerk a $40 gold-piece
to take out the money for the shoes.
Mr.. O. G.. Frayscr, clerk nc Spence's
shoe store. identified the prisoner as the
colored girl who had purchased the shoes
and had given him the $50 gold piece:
Giles jackson. counsel for the defence,
raised the point that while the clrcum-
stances surrounding the case were suspl-
ciOus and the circumstantial evidence was
very strong, yet the Commonwealth had
failed TO prove that anybody had lost any
money and that the larceny could only be
proven by the person whom 1t Is alleged
had lost $40 coming into court and swear
ing to that fact.
The Justice decided il good point, but
he stated that he would require the girl TO
give security for her good behavior for
twelve months in the sum OF $500.
OTHER CASES.
George Woodson (colored), using pro-
fame language on the street. Fined So and
costs.
