A Good Living Made by Besgins.

Lizzie Scott, II years old and her s-year-old
twin brothers, Norman and Samuel, are pro-
fessional beggars in Jersey City. although
their father and three big brothers earn good
wages as carpenters. Lizzie is one Of the best
dressed girls in the public school, which she
attends regularly. In court to-day, however,
several neighbors of the SCOTS told how every
day when Lizzie returned home from school
her mother stripped of her finery and attired
her in old, ragged garments, and sent her and
the twin brothers out on begging tours. They
generally told stories of a dead father and sick
mother. Meat given them by the butchers, and
bread and food contributed by families were
sold to restaurant keepers and grocers by the
Scots, at low prices. The Justice committed
Mrs. Scott and her three children to jail, and
issued warrant for Mr.. Scott's arrest.

HER DREAM.

From The Cornhill.
Fold your arms around me, sweet,
As mine against your heart doth beat.

My own love, fair and strong and true.

That l was old and that you were dead.
knew you had died long time ago,
And l well recalled the moan and woe
You had died in your beautiful youth, my sweet;
You had gone to your rest with untired feet;
And had prayed to come to you,
To lay me down and slumber, too.
But IL might not be- and the days went on,
And ] was all alone, alone.
The women came so nelghborly
And kissed my face and wept with me;
And the men stood sull to see me pass,
And smiled grave smiles, and said, Poor lass +"
Sometimes seemed to hear your feet
And my grlef-numbed heart would Wildly oeat'
And I stopt and named my darling's name
But never word Of answer came
The men and women ceased at last
To pity pain that was Of the past
For pain is common, and grief and loss;
And many come home by Weeping cross.
Why do l tell you this, my deari
Sorrow IS gone now you are hefc'
You and / we sit in the light
And fed Is the horror of ycsternght.
The time went on, and ! saw one day
NV body was bent and my hair was gray!

The Great Prize Fight.

The long-talked of prize fight be
tween John l.. Sullivan and Jake
Kilrain for stakes of 100000, a dia-
mond belt and the championship of
the world took place at Richburg,
Miss, last Monday 1t resulted in u
complete victory for Sullivan, who is
undoubtedly the mightiest pugilist of
modern times. Seventy-five rounds
were fought. Kilrain did not give
Sullivan much opportunity to punish
him, as he ducked and ran and fell
continually to avoid the heavy blows
of the big fellow. Both men were
somewhat bruised about the body
and head, but neither was seriously
hurt. About 1000 of the toughest
citizens of the country witnessed the
fight. The governors of Louisiana,
Mississippi and Texas hadissued proc
lamations forbidding the fight, but
there was no interference by the au
thorities. kilrain is very gloomy
over the result of the fight, and claims
to have been drugged. 1t is evident
that he was not feeling well, but at
the same time it is fact that he is no
match for Sullivan. There was not
much money wagered, as few desired
to bet on kilrain.

Driven Crazy by a Dream.

One of the officials in the Broad
street station was startled on Monday
noon by handsome young lady, who
tapped him on his shoulder and asked:
rs this the safest road to heavenY'
The young woman persisted that she
was in search of the safest road to
heaven, and had been told that the
Pennsylvania railroad was one of
them. She began rambling sort of
a story about her wings and other
celestial topics, but was interrupted
by an elderly lady and young man,
who led her away. They said she
was Miss Mollie Robbins, a young
Chicago lady of wealthy family. She
had lost her reason because of dream
about the bursting of the Conemaugh
lake dam, imagining that her be-
trothed was swept away by the flood.
Curiously, her dream occurred dur
ing the night preceding the flood.
The gentleman whom she believed TO
be lost is alive and now in Johns
town, whittier she was being taken
by advice of physician, who sug-
gested that the scenes in the wrecked
town and the meeting with her be-
trothed might restore her reason
