Col. J. M. Mobley, of Hamilton, was in the city directions,
yesterday,
hie had been urged by letter to come and get his
little girl, and as often he promised and foiled.
Finally Mr. Geo. Y. Pond notified him that if he
did not make arrangements fbr her by July 1st
she would be sent to the orphan asylum of this
city/ He foiled to comply and the plan was ac
cordingly carried out. She had never seemed
contented, but every day said, “I
want to go to my papa.” On account of this
anxiety on the part of the child, the matron was
particularly considerate and indulgent, so much
so that the children remarked upon it. 8he left
very early on the morning of the 7tb, as every
circumstance proves, going directly to her aunt’s,
who lives in one of the fhetory boarding houses,
where two of the managers found her, so that
she did not stay all night from the institution,
but only a tew hours. Fannie’s fother wanted
Mrs. Vickers (the aunt) to have her, but she re
fused on account of bad health and other good
reasons.
Miss Pope, the matron of the asylum, has had
charge of the children just one year, and in every
respect they have steadily improved. She is
doing a good work and has the confidence of the
entire board. This statement of facts we have
thought proper to make injustice to her, as some
may hove supposed that it was carelessness on
her part to allow the child to run away. Such,
however, we take pleasure in saying, does not
appear to have been the case.

An Attempted Suicide.

the shape of an attempted suicide. Mrs. Hal
Willett furnished the sensation. It seeqjs that
she nnd her husband have not been living as
peaceably together as two cooing doves, and a i ®
few days ago Willett turned her out of his house.
On Thursday she appeared to be quite reckless,
and Jake Yearty. who was sitting at the foot of 1
Womack’s hill, says she came up to him and
without warning knocked his hat off with a stick. ;
fehe then took the hat. and when Yearty at-
tempted to get it from her she defied him with

out on the street car track, and in the sight of
several persons, pulled out a small vial of mor- 1

“Face to Face.”
The following beautiful poem by Paul H.
Hayne, published in the May Harper’s, possesses
a peculiar interest now that the loved southern
poet is gazing “on the glory of love in the un
veiled face of death:”
Sad mortal! could’st thou but know
What truly it means to die.
The wings of thy soul would glow.
And the hopes of thy heart beat high:
Thou wouldst turn from the Pyrrlionist schools,
And laugh their jargon to scorn,
As the babble of midnight fools
Ere the morning of truth be born.
But I, earth's mat!ness above,
In a kingdom of stormless breath—
I gaze on the glory of love
In the unveiled face of Death.
I tell thee his face is fair
As the moon bow’s amber rings.
And the gleam*in his unbound hair
Like the flush of a thousand springs;
His smile is the fathomless beam
Of the starshine’s sacred light.
When the summers of southland dream
In the lap of the holy night;
For I. earth’s blindness above,
In a kingdom of halcyon breath—
I gaze on the marvel of love
In the unveiled face of Death.

New Orleans. Ally 7.—Gretna, one of the su
burbs ofthe city Across the river, is in a ferment
of excitement ocer an event in which youth, ro
mance and religion are the features^ Some time
ago T. L. BruAhoItz, a young man from Danville,
Ohio, went *0 Gretna and secured a position its
yurdniasterof the Texas aud Pacific railroad. He
soon formed the acquaintance of Miss Norma
Samuels, the beautiful (laughter of Julius Sam
uels, a \tealthy Jewish merchant of Gretna, The
acquaintance rapidly ripened into love. As soon
a luxury too expensive for Columbus, and it is
hardly probable that the city will try it on again
soon.”
This gentleman voices the sentiment of a ma
jority of those who have had anything to do with
bearing the expense of keeping up a club in this
city. The only ball that Columbus is likely’0
have from now on is such as will be
furnished by good amateur players. No doubt
the best thing the southern league cities cun do is
to adopt the sensible suggestion ofthe Savannah
News, and sustain only clubs herealter composed
strictly cfhf mete lent. This would bring back
the old interest occasioned by a rivalry between
the clubs ofthe different cft ; oa v h' h is always

the oil found shows it to be of superior qua/ity,
and the prospects uow are that the company has
struck it rich. Should such prove the ca$£, as it
no doubt will, the gentlemen interested in the
enterprise will have cause for congratulation.

young people determined to marry without his
consent, and an elopement was decided upon.
This plan was well laid and proved successful.
The bride slipped away from home yesterday
afternoon and crossed the river to the city,
joined her future husband and repaired
with him to the City Hotel, where iu
the parlors they were speedily made one by
Judge Rozier. They are now on the way to the
groom’s old home in Ohio, where he has parents
in affluent circumstances. The news of the elope
ment and marriage created a hubbub in Gretna,
j aud the father of the bride was exceedingly
'wroth. It was too late, however, to make inter
ference effectual, and the successful lovers pro
ceeded unmolested on their bridal tour.
