And wonder if I've done right
In living this single rollicking life,
Having day when others have night
I might have made happy some woman on earth.
Had children beside my hearthstone.
Frightening dull hours with laughter and play,

But here, this is foolish. III Gil up my glass.
And drown morbid thoughts with good wine.

Looking After Her Kitten.

The other day in Beekman street 8 motherly looking cat was calmly sitting pn the curb watching the antics of her four kittens, which were having a glori- ous time rolling about and mauling one another. The kittens kept at their sport for some time. Suddenly one of them. tiriug of further play. wandered away toward large paper bag that was fut- tering in the wind on the walk. Nosing around the bag he presently espied an opening into which he crawled. The attention of his fellows was soon di- rected to the new attraction. to which they speedily hastened, and entering one by one the four kittens quickly found themselves housed in this unusual domicile. They made no effort to leave it, observing which the old cat. who kept an eye all the time on the maneu- vers of her progeny, walked toward the bag, smelled and looked within it's in- terior, and seeing her kittens at rest she picked mp the parcel with her teeth, and walking down the street disappeared in a hallway with the bag and her tots in- closed.-New York Sun.

EVERYBODY TALKING FIGHT.

Savaunahiens Greatly Interested in
the Approaching Mills.
Everybody In Savannah, from the small
boy to the old citizens, has become
afflicted with the prize-fght fever, aud the
principal and most absorbing topic OF con-
versation Is the coming mills at New
Orleans.
Heretofore prize-1ghts were matters
which interested only the sports of Savau-
nah but now it seems that all the male
population have become admirers of the
manly art. Every scrap Of news relative
to the movements of Sullivan and Corbett
is eagerly read, and bets are being made on
the result of the fight Sullivan, Of course,
is the favorIte.
Two small boys caused considerable
amusement In the square in front of ST.
Joseph's infirmary yesterdayafternoon by a
boxing match in regulation style. Each
wore gloves and had Sng formed, around
the edge of which large number of peo-
pie crowded. One of the boys represented
Sullivan and the other Corbett, aud Sulli-
vans representative got the best of the
match, much TO the delight OF his youthful
hackers.
The Sullivan. Corbett match will be re-
ported at the theater by rounds. each blow
being recorded as it is given. Ticket Agent
Ebbs will open the box sheet for reserved
seats at Livingstone tomorrow. He will
also sell gallery tickets.

The New York World has this TO say of
Sadie Seaman and her company: "She has
an attractive personality, a cute brogue
and a sweet voice. In some phases of her
work she reminds one Of her unfortunate
brother. She makes her first appearance in
a tiny village cart drawn by the smallest
and most cunning span OF Irish ponies that
has been seen In New York in many IA day.

A Reckless Negro Driver Does a Boy
Serious Injury.
There was another dangerous collision
between bicyclist aud carriage on Bull
street yesterday afternoon with the usual
serious results to the bicyclist.
A small boy about IL years Of age was
riding his bicycle, when a carriage driven
rapidly by a negro turned the corner
around the square at Gordon street very
sharply. running over the boy. The by
ISLANDERS we're Mortified at the sight of the
boy under the horses hoofs.
The driver seemed to lose his head en-
tirely. He refined his horses up with sud
den jerk and came near backing the carriage
wheels over the boys body. He was only
prevented from doing so by the shouts Of
the people on the sidewalk.
As soon as the boy was dragged from
under the horses feet the driver whipped
up his horses and drove away rapidly.
The witnesses TO the accident were I'M
able to identify the carriage as belonging to
| any stable in the city. If the driver is dis
covered, however, he will be prosecuted.
The boy received q severe cut In the face
from his fall on the pavement or a blow
from one of the horses hoofs. He was
taken up and carried 10 bis home near the
park. Those who witnessed the accident

All Passed Bills Are Now Being Paid
By the Treasurer.
As George Francis Train would say, "the
pressure Is relieved" The county has money
to pay its passed bills. 1t was expected that
the county commissioners would collect the
amount due by the Central Railroad and
Banking Company on Saturday, but when
the a. ia. was presented by Sheriff Roman
the company declined to pay anything but
the amount due, without interest, and the
sheriff refused to accept it. With that
amount in hand the county would not have
had to borrow anything to meet
its bills. There were only $1,000 worth of
passed bills those due up to the last meet
ing of the commissioners, but in view Of the
hue and cry raised it was decided yesterday
to make a loan, and SIT, 500, an amount
sufficient to run the county undl Dec.
l, was borrowed from the Ger
mania Bank The news that the
county had funds spread rapidly, and
Capt. Dillon was kept busy drawing
warrants and Treasurer Russell paving
them until p. m. Three thousand dollars
was paid cut yesterday, and the remainder
of the passed bills will doubtless be paid to-
day. Had the county been able to collect
what was due from delinquent taxes there
would have been no nee sssity Of borrowing
money to meet its current expenses. As it
is, it will be seen that not half the amount
first proposed was borrowed.

Suburban and the Coast Line railways said
yesterday. with regard to the article pub

Electric railway and the water front lot
owners at Thunderbolt, that Mr.. Parsons
had nothing to do with any actions Of the
property holders in extending their fences

Neither did he inspire auy action OF this
kind by the commissioners Of the town.
In fact, President Johnston said that Mr.,
Parsons does not know that any fences have
been changed at Thunderbolt. President
Johnston said that his idea of the changing
of the fence lines was that the property
owners desired to make the fence lines con
form along the entire front, and by this
means improve the appearance of the
