A
llwy’s Composition
Babies.
on
Tnen* :«re tour >>? five ilifivrunt
kin-is ut 1mhies. There is the' biys
\):i y, the little ha v, the white hahy
ami the poiMlle do**, ami there is the
b t»y i'le|ih:int.
Most of these babies were bom in
a iioarditur hoiist*. ’c.*|>t the baby
elejM unit, I think lie was born ill a
railroad train, \.an*e he alius carries
his trunk with him.
A while baby is pootier nor a ele-
piiaul baby, but be can’t eat so much
hay.
All the babies what I have ever
seen were born very young,’specially
the gal babies, and they can’t none
ot them talk the United Slates lan*
gauge.
Sly fa'her had—I mean my mother
had a baby once. It was not an
elephant baby, it was a little white
baby, it coined one day when
tin •re was nobody home, it was a
funny looking fellow, just like a bl>*
sU-r.
I asked iny. father wwf, it a boy
or a girl and he say he don’t know
whether he was a father ora mother*
His name is Mtriah.
II don’t look like my father nor
mother bnl lie looks just like my
Unele Tom, ’cause the little bab)
ain’t got no hair on bis head.
One day I asked my uncle Tom
whiitVvras Che reason he ain’t got' no
hair, ( Hf.sajrs he <lou’t. know, ’cept
the baby was born ao, and lie was a
married man.
One day I pulled a feather out of
the old rooster’s tail and stuck it up
the baby’s nose, and it tickled him
so he almost died. ' It was only a
bit of a feather and I didn’t sec what
he wanted to make such a fuss about
it for. My mother said I ought’er
to be ashamed of myself, and I didn’t
get no bread on my butter for tnor’n
a week.
One day the Sheriff come in the
house for to collect a bill of $9 for
crockery. My father says he can’t
pay the bill, and the sheriff he say
j 4 Then l take something,” and l.e
took a look around the room and he
seed the little baby, and be wrapped
him up in a newspaper and he
take him away to the station*
house.
Then my mother she commenced
to cry an’ my father say, “Hush
Mary Ann, that was all right.
Don’t you see how we fooled that
fellow ? Don’t you see the bill for
crockery was for $9, and the little
baby was only worth two and
half?”
I think I’d rather be a girl, not a
boy, ’cause when a girl gets a whip*
ping she gets it on her fingers, but
when a boy gels a licking lie gets it
all over.
I don’t like babies very much any*
bow ’cause they make so much noise.
I never knew but one quiet baby,
and he died.
A Lasting: Keepsake.
“ Look hear, tnar’s John, ain’t you
gwine to gib me no keepsake dis new
year’s?’’ asked an elderly darkey,
who had evidently been out calling,
of a young white gentleman on Com
merce street.
“ What sort of a keepsake do you
want, uncle?” asked the youth.
“ I want sumfin what is givine to
last—sumfin to take wid me when I
dies, so I’ll alwavs think of yer when
I sees it—sumfin what won’t wear
out ’’
“ How would a bottle of whisky
do?”
“ Foah God, data de berry keep
sake I’se been dreamin* of.”—San
Antonto [Tex.) Express.
“ Where are the friends of my
youth ?” sung a wretched vocalist at a
Boston concert. As he came off the
stage into the green room the mana
ger remarked to him : “ It is very
evident they arc not here; I will give
you the rest of the season in which to
go and look them up,”
—Ex-Governor Hendricks, in an
interview published at Indianapolis,
alights from the fence on the finance
question, and declares himself on the
aide of remonetization of Bilver and
antUres’Jtnption of specie payments
Ni3W« SUMMARY
—Great difficulty is experienced in
oli'iiiuiiig the lequired number of
bchiMilmasters and schoolmistresses
b*r the public schools in Piu>sia. In
• to* tie^iuniug of June, 1877, there
were 4,581 >ucli appointments vacant.
—A simple cf R .ssian army bread
recently analyzed in Bulgaria was
touiid to contain 19 per cent, of saw
dust and 14 per cent, of sand Small
wonder that the Cz ir’s soldiers give
evidence of having sand in their
craws.
—A marriage, it is said, will be
arranged between the Duke of Con
naught, Victoria’s third son, and the
Princess Louise, daughter of Prince
Frederick Charles of Prussia. Tli •
Princess is seventeen years of age,
and much liked by those who know
her.
—The New York HerdUl is deter
mined the map business shall not lan
guish Accompanying its report of
the marriage of King Alfonso and
the Princess Mercedes, it publishes a
grupnic map of the city of Madrid.
It is with some curiosity we await its
map of the terms of peace between
Turkey and Russia.
—A sad story comes front Texas.
A Miss Moore was preparing for
marriage, ami invited a friend, Miss
Williams, to assist her. In rurbagirig
;lirou. h a drawer, an old pistol was
carelessly handled by Miss Williams,
resulting in the shooting and instant
dca; h of Miss Moore. She was
buried on the day that was to have
been her wending day, and Miss
Williamshisbeoom«iinsane. *
—Railroad employees will be in
terested in a bill introduced in Con
gress giving all employees of railroads
chartered by Congress, or which may
be engaged in inter-State commerce,
a lien on the property, of the compa<
nies for wages due, which shall have
priority lien over ail other claims,
and which may be enforced by at
tachment or otherwise in any District
Court-of the United States.
—The Boston Theatre reports an
aggregate attendance last week at its
two matinees and six nightly per
formances of more than 40,000 per
sons, and further states that hun
dreds ot applicants lor admission
were turned away from its doors.
This is an instance without parallel in
Boston since the panic of 1873, and
h.is a pleasant effect upon the busi
ness circles of that city as well as
a upon theatrical managers.
—A consignment of soles and tur
bot was seut from the South port
Aquarium, in January 3, to America,
in charge of M*\ Mather, agent of
Prof. Baird, United States Contis-
sinner of Fish end Fisheries. If they
arrive safely, they arc destired to be
turned adrift in Massachusetts Bay.
It appears that while so many mem
bers of tl e Pleuronectidae are com
mon enough on the American const,
soles and turbot are entirely unknown.
—Mr. Flood, the wealthy Roman
Catholic of San Franci.-co, held a
mortgage on the Tabernacle Presby
terian Church for 8100.000. The
Tabernacle was sick, and no Kimhali
came along to clear off the weighty
load, so it had to l><* sold under fore
closure, as the interest had long been
unpaid. Mr. Flood bought it in and
the • presented it to the congregation.
They can now begin life anew, under
more favorable circumstances than if
hey had to dodge their indebtedness
by forming a new company from
among their own number to buy it in.
—Few people .realize the skill and
labor involved in presiding over tho
drum of a theatrical orchestra. When
one reflects, however, that a single
individual is expected to play on two
or three different drums—the casta
nets, bones, triangle, and occasion
ally, other instruments, and to have
every note and change with the ex
actness of a machine, it becomes evi
dent at once that the drummer has
his hands full. It is customary to be
facetious at the expeuse of drum ma
jors and bass drummers of military
bands, but the drummer of tbe orches
tra is a man of many acquirements
and of delicate responsibilities.
