S tUTHKIlN NNER: FEliRUARY 12, 1878. 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.
