\ Strung© Story.
> The Kansas City Bulletin tells a
•s’tdry qf n yoting man dnmotl
\ in', worth who belonged to a band of
jityhawkers during the rebellion, and
who on one ocasion burned the house
•of a rebel farmer whicli bad been used
3is the headquarters of a band of gu
errillas. While the house was bur
ning AitUWorth amused himself by
ridiculing the distress of a little girl,
•the daughter of the farmer, preven
* ing the poor child, out of sheer wan
•touress, from snvingsome trifling lit
•.le trinkets from the flames. Seven
years afterward he mot the litle rebel
£lrl, then grown np to n handsome
rustic maiden, and fell desperately in
love with her; but she recognized
him at once as the unfeeling man who
had made sport of her childish suf
ferings, and repulsed his unwelcome
attention*. For two years he per-
his attempts to gain the nf
faetidna of the beautiful Missouri girl
without avail, and at last, in a mo
ment of despair, committed suicide
within sight of the ruins of the farm
house where he hadflrst met the ob
ject of his passion.
Female Juries.
The grand and petit juries of the
Albany County District Court, Wy
oming, this'tefm, as at the term pre
vious, is composed of equal propor
tions of men and women. The Judge
took occasion to compliment, in the
highest terms, the intelligence, dis
crimination, honesty and propriety of
conduct with which the women ac
quitted themselves last sessiou, say
ing they had gone far to vindicate
the policy, justify the experiment,
rind realize the expectations of those
who had clothed themselves with the
right. The bar, the bench, and the
intelligent men of the country had
long felt that something was needed
to improve and justify our jury sys
tem; something to lift it above prej
udice and passion, and imbue it with
a higher regard for law, justice, oath
end conscience. The court would as
sure, them the fullest protection
sgkinat eVervthing which might offend
the most refined, modest an l educa
ted women in any walks of life; and
would punish severely any attempt to
throw ridicule or contume’y upon
them.

Boy babies seem to be at discount
in Augusta. The Constitutionalist of
Tuesday says:
At a very early hour on Saturday
morning last, a colored woman, liv
ing oq a corner of the new Orphan
Asylum lot. heard a vigorous rap at
her door. The cause was explained,
when she made investigation, the dis
eovory of a basket deposited at the
door, contait ing a regular live, fat,
trouncing twelve-pounder, of the male
persuasion, nestled amid a supply of
clothing, with a note containing $7
for efttufft expenses, etc. . The note
i < requested the woman to take charge
of the little waif—if one may be al
% lowed to call twelve pounds of active,
vigorous baby a waif—and that her
kindness and oare wonld be rewarded.

A Horrible Tragedy.
Rumor brings us details of a bor
riblo tragedy that is said to have oc
curred in St.'Clair county, Alabama.
The rumor runs that the Tax Col
lector of St. Clair had got together
a largo amount of taxes and gave
them to his wife to keep; remarking
as he did so that ho was compiled
to'take a trip that wonld necessitate
his absence from home for three or
four days. He left and b!ic bid the
money: About ten o’clock that night
a party of men wenring disguises,
broke iu upon the lonely woman and
demanded the tax money. She re
fused to give it up or tell w here it
was. After attempting in vain to
force her to tell the hiding ’place of
the treasure they searched for it and
found it. A ftcr possessing themselves
Irtely of the money, they nrHervfl her
to get them some supper. While
she was busying herself wtih this
forced task she conceived the idea of
poisoning them, artel thus preserving
it once the money and her husband’s
iionor. She deftly slipped some ars
uic in the coffee she was mixing.
They drank heartily, and fell dcau
shortly afterwards. She stripped oil
their disguises and found that two
of the villiana were strangers, but thi
third was her husband, who had taken
this means of stealing the taxes of
the people. The story is almost too
horrible for credulence, but our in
formants were confident that the facts
were as they stated them.— Home Com

A Toothless People. —Terribli
times in Warrenton, Va., nrc thus
depicted by the editor of the Sentinel:
A few weeks ago a dentist came to
town and advertised that he would
“remove all of a person’s teeth for $2
and insert anew set for $lO, ltcsidcs
giving six months’ credit.” The War
renton people are very fond of bar
gains, so there was a rush for the den
tist's office. He was busy for two
weeks puTling tcetlt, and at the end of
that time half the people had empty
gums, and’a bone dust factory* in the
neighborhood doubled its workmen,
so ns to grind up the teeth. Mean
while the people were waiting for the
dentist to fit them with new sets, the
abandoned scoundrel eloped*with the
hotel keeper’s wife; and now there are
two or three thousand people in town
who cannot eat anything tougher than
soup and farina. All the butchers
have failed, and not a cracker has been
sold for three weeks. One man, it : is
said, whittled out a set of wooden
teeth for himself, but the first drink
of whisky he took—Warrenton whis
ky—set them in a blaze, mad his fu
neral came off the next day. The
dentist will hear of something greatly
to his disadvantage if he comes back.
The Late French War —There
were six hundred and thirty-four
thousand three hundred and forty-five
French prisoners in Germany, Switz
erland and Belgium at the conclusion
of pease, and twenty-threo great bat
tles and fifty-one important fights
were fought during the w hole war.
Os sieges there were twenty-five.—
Number of dead on both sides about
one hundred thousand men, besides
two hundred thousand wounded.
The blooodicst battles were fought nt
Mars la Tuor and Gravctotte. The
former is, next to Eilau and Borodi

An old lady, slightly blind, while
engaged in a futile attempt to sew
buttons on young Augustus’ nfew
jacket, remarked: “ Drat these but
tons ! I can't fiud the holes and they
split all to pieces every time I stick
the needle into cm.” To which re
plied young Augustus, “Now,look
here Granny, you just let my pepper
mint nlone. You've split more’n half
'em already.”
