Next door to him maiden lived, lovely
charming miss;
She had but sixteen summers seen, was full Of
life and bliss;
Her eyes, her cheeks, her hands, her face-well,
they were just perfection!
And she hung up her stocking, too, with bright
and gay reflection.
On Christmas morn that aged man his stocking
full he found.
With plenty more Of other things pinned up and
nailed around.
He wiped his specs 1--WE hundred times, his
laughter turned to screaming,
On opening such queer packages; he thought he
must be dreaming.
A hustle, hairpins, bracelets four, gold garters,
eighteen walls,
"A gross Of gloves, nine bonnets gay, case to
shine the nails,
Six dresses, stylish, flowing trains, two nuns
and sealskin sack,
Two parasols, dozen fans and slippers white
and black,
-Four pairs Of corsets-oh, what shapei-long
hose of open stitching,
Three diamond rings, two ruby rings and curls
Of hair bewitching
Two sets Of bangles, earrings eight, perfumes
gross or more,
Ten pounds of candy, poodle dog and other
things score.

HERE lived in this
good city once a man
Of eighty-seven,
Brimful of equity aches
and pains, just ripe
for death andHeaven;
And as 1t was good
Christmas Eve he

luck
by hangingup his stock

fun and pluck.

MRS. MAVERICK. combined appeal to
the Home Office for her repFieve.
Their action is based not only on the
confusion in the medical testimony
taken, but also on the peculiar be-
haviOr of the judge which has ex-
cited ferment of indignation through
out the country. The foreman of
the jury has been intervie wed concerning
the verdict which he and his fellow jurors
so hastily brought in, and he has shown
himself by his answers to be possessed of
only a confused notion of the evidence
which had been presented in court. He
did not know that Sir Charles Russell had
offered in court to call witnesses who
would substantiate the statement of the
defendant and that the justice refused to
hear this important testimony. He ad-
mitted that he would not be sorry if a re-
prieve was granted, notwithstanding his
vote was in favor of the verdict of MUIR
der. The general impression left by the
interview is that the jurors allowed them
selves to be swayed and biased by the
grossly One-sded summing up of the
judge and that they gave hasty verdict
without giving the case and the evidence
any personal consideration.

BOSTON EXCITED.

The Disappearance of a Prominent BusI-
ness Man Causes Great Excitement and
Several Heavy Failures. %@%
BOSTON, Aug. 10.-The wife CT g. +.
Brown of Brown, Steese & Clarke wool
dealers lately failed, is in an almost in
sane condition resulting from suspense
caused by the continued absencs of her
husband, who has not been heard of since
last Tuesday. The brother of the missing
man expresses the opinion that the busi-
ness affairs of the firm have driven him
crazy, while his friends say he has either
committed suicide or has absconded to
Europe or Canada or else is wandering
about the country in a demented condi-
tion. Not line of intelligence has been
received from him by any one.
M. +. Dickinson, Jr., counsel fer Brown,
Steese & Clarke. said that a petition in
insolvency would be filed to-day volun-
tary as far as Messrs. Steese and Clark
were concerned and involuntary in
Browns case. The affairs of the firm
were in such a condition he considered
that was the only course to take. He had
ascertained that the firms signature was
on the notes of the Riverside Company
for a certainty of $500 900. He had no
precise knowledge of wrong doing on
Browns part and was ignorant of his
wherea bouts.
Dickinson went to Providence yester-
day to recover $123. 900 worth of wool sold
by Brown, Steese & Clarke to the River
side mill, but the return of th goods was
refused and he entered suit to recover
them.
dispatch from Providence says: The
Massa chusetts Loan and Trust Company
placed an attachment for 100000 on the
Riverside mill yesterday. This makes
S312, 900 of attachments on the property
here. Nothing is known of the where
abouts of Brown, the treasurer.
CAUSED ANOTHER FAILURE.
BOSTON. Aug. 1O.-George w. Hollis, of
the Hollis Dressed Beef & WoolICompany,
made an assignment yesterday for the
benefit of his creditors to Judge Asa
French and n. E. Hollis. His embarrass-
ment is caused by the failure Of Brown,
Steese & Clark 1t is stated at the
office of the Hollis company that
Mr.. Hollis embarrassment will not
affect the company. The assign
ment causes considerable surprise,
Mr.. Hollis being considered quite we'll to
do. The assignees state that rhis action
has been taken because Mr.. Hollis had
consigned a large amount of wool to
Brown, Steese & Clark, on which be had
received no advances and he did not know
how much stock he would have to realize
on Immediately in order to meet notes on
which he is liable
