Danbury Family Scene.
A family of some pretentions, liv
ing on Nelson street, had a party of
five to tea, Thursday evening. The
table was set out in tine styie, and
it was absolutely necessary to show
them that folks could live in a vil
lage like Danbury, and yet under
stand the requirements of good so
ciety. When they were all at the
table, and the lady was preparing
to dish up the tea, her little son,
whoso face shone like the knees of
a country clergyman’s pants, pulled
her secretly by the dress but she
was too busy to notice. lie pulled
her again but receiving no response
ho whispered:
“Ma, ma?”
“What is it?”
“Aint this one of Miss Perry’s
In lives?” holding up the article in
ms hand and looking, as he proper
ly should, very much gratified by
such an evidence of his discernment.
She made no reply in words, hut
she gave him a look that was calcu
lated to annihilate him.
The tea was dished out and the
company were preparing to butter
their biscuit, when the youth sud
denly whispered again, looking at
his plate with a pleased expression,
“Why ma my plate is different from
the rest.”
“Tl\omas!” she ejaculated, under
her breath.
“Why, it is, lua,” persisted Thom
as. “Now, just seo here. This
plate has ”
“Thomas!'’ again ejaculated liis
mother with crimsoned face, while,
liis father assumed a frown nearly
an inch thick, “if you don’t allow
your victuals to stop your inoutli I
will send you away from the
table!”
This quieted Thomas at once.
Ho was not a very particular boy,
and he concluded that the difference
in the plates was not of such mo
ment as to admit of tedious jirgu-*
ment at this time.
Several minutes passed without
any further interruption. The young
man industriously attended to his
food, at the same time kept a c'o.io
eye on what was going on around
him. He was lifting up his cup for
a sip when his glance fell upon the
saucea. It was but a glance, but
with the kceness of a young eye he
saw that the two were not intended
for each other.
“Why mu,” ho eagerly
“this cup don’t belong to—”
Then he suddenly stopped. The
expression on his mother’s face ac
tually rendered him speechless, and
for a moment he applied himself to
his meal in depressed silence; but
was young and of an elastic temper
and he soon recovered his beaming
expression. A little later he obser
ved a lady opposite putting a spoon
of preserved grapes in her month.
Then he twitched his mother’s dress
and said again:
”Ma!”
The unhappy woman shivered at
the sound, but liis remark this time
seemed to bo, of an entirely different
character as he asked:
“Aint Miss Walker a funny wo
man?”
“Funny?” said his mother with a
sigh of releif. And then turning to
tho company with the explanation.
“Mrs Wallur ii an old lady who liv
es across the way,” sho smiled on
her hopeful son and atked “What
makes you think she is funny?”
“Why, you know —you know,” be
gan Thomas in that rapid, moist
way which an only son assumes
when he is imparting information
before company, in response to ' a
cordial invitation, “When I went
over there this evening to get the
spoons, she said she hoped tho com
pany wouldn’t bite ’em as it would
dent ”
“Thomas!’* shreiked the unhappy
mother, as soon as she could break
in.
“Young man,” gasped the father,
“leave this table at once!”
And Thomas left at once. His
father subsequently followed him,
and tho two met in a back room,
and hud both been flying express
trains coming together, there could
have scarcely been more noise.

The Female Department of
the Tombs.
The Tombs contains one of the
most peculiar chracters in this city,
I refer to Flora Foster, the matron
of the female department. Shelias
held this position for a third of a
century, and still retains it, though
now much wearied by long servico
and increasing years. Mrs, Foster
is a buisness woman and has little
to say to visitors. She comes ear-=
ly and goes homo at dark, and has
spent the best part of her life in
prison. Frequently she has been
called on by reporters who desired
to “write her up,” but ahe has al
ways declined. She is very kind to
prisoners, but is very decided, and
allows no ill words or ill conduct.
Entering this department I saw a
female form prostrate at full length,
and the face covered by part of the
dress. It was simply a case of in
toxication, such as one sees here
constantly. There are about forty
women in this department, but they
have a comfortable hall and are
treated well. Flora Foster has a
list of these unfortunate women for
thirty years. What a history of a
womans life it would present? The
Tombs kitchen employs thirty per
sons, and the food is of a plain qual
ity, two meals a day being served.
If the prisoner desires better fare
and have the means of purchasing
it, he can be served from a neigh
boring refractory at a cost of about
sl2 a week. Stokes was fed in
this way and so was Tweed, but
there are few who can afford such
luxury, and they must take up with
prison faro, which is generally all
that they deserve. Utica Herald.
A Love- Sick Sailor.— An exciting
scene occured off North Point yes
terday morning as the French cor
vette La Volta was leaving for Ta
hiti. During the time that the Vol
ta remained in the harbor one of
the men,.it seems, utilized his “li
berty days” in lavishing his atten
tions on a young French woman re
siding in this city. The attachment
was reciprocated, and when tho day
of parting came it went hard with
them both. As the vessel got un
der* way the love stricken sailor,
with a bound, cleared tho bulwatks
and headed boldly for the shore/
The corvette was instantly stopped;
a boat lowered and manned, and
his capture speedily effected. But
ho was no sooner placed on deck
than he sprang overboard again,
only to be captured in the same
manner ns before. Among tho wit
nesses of his plucky attempt to es
cape, who stood on the dock at
North Point was the object of hid
devotion. Her face was the very
picture of despair when she saw her
lover captured tho second time. —

Darldleness is demoralizing to
any community, and the great trou
ble our young men are unwilling to
commence on a farm in a small way
and work themselves up on a large
scale of farming. Strumming on a
guitar or singing love ditties under
a pretty girls window, at midnight
may do very well if the sercnader
has been steadily at work all day;
but if the .sun rises and sets on tho
idler, it seems to us that any pretty
girl of sense would rather sleep
soundly than be awakened by a man
with an operatic voice and an emp
ty pocket-book.
. fl@r-A rat which was caught and
severely bitten by a cat the other

that two of its companions came out

the common enemy with great sav

her ground, and with one paw on
her captive, made such a desperate
tight that she soon drove the as
saulting party back to their hole
wounded and in confusion. She
then calmly finished her meal.
