T'd stop what he is doin’—
A-bringing all the other boys
To certain moral ruin,
There’s Tommy Green, a growin’
lad,
His mother does inform me.
The way that he is getting bad

She feels the blame should rest

John Brown - a recent” eomer—
For Tommy was a lovely child
A year ago this summer.
But when I spoke to Mrs. Brown
Her inmost soul was shaken,
To think that Mrs. Green vould be
So very much mistaken.
Ske did assure me Johnny was
Asgood a child as any,
Except forlearning naughty things
From Mrs. Whitting’s Benny.
And Mre. Whitting frets because
Of Mrs. Blackham’s Freddy,
She fears }e's taught young Benja

Some wicked tricks already.
Yet Fred is such an innocent
(I bave it from his mother),
He wouldn’t think of doing wrong,
Untempted by another.
Oh! when I think I've found the
boy
Whose ways are so disgracin’,
I always learn he’s some one else,
And lives some other place in,
And if we cannot search him out
He will (most dreadful pity !)
Spoil all the boys who other wise
Would ornament the city.

GIRDLES-AND GIRLS. .
Silver Log Chains that Prove an
Old Assertion,
New York Herald.]
Ever since Eve first put on cor
sets there have been flippant ellu
sions made to a supposed fondness
that young ladies cherish of having
their waists squeczed. ‘
No visible proof ot that weak—‘
ness has ever been offered to the
public gaze until recently.
But i* is here now and the girls
can’t dodge it.
The silver girdle business has
become fashionable, and young
men who are addicted to the arm
act are as blue as policemen. It's
hard enough to make an impress-l
ion through corset armour, hut
when a silfer log chain is added,
mashitive humanity gives up and
takes to lamp-posts.
The new girdle is just such an
arrangement as the Grecian maid
dens used to wear (B. C.) to keep
their Mother !übbards from soars
ing over their heads and leavfngl
them in the highly ridiculous and
embarrassing position of a reversed
umbrella. It is made of silver
links or plates, and is worn outfiide?
of everything, for the simple reas
cns that it would be a very un—
comtortable thing to wear inside
and would seriously interfere with
the fit of a dress. Again, more
people see it on the outside, and
that's what it's worn for. Asan ar
ticle of clothing the girdle is not a
practical success, It affords very
little protection in a rain storm or
a blizzard, and is calculated to breed
corns on the hips.
Naturally, it is worn around the
waist, because it’s too big for the
neck, and a girl couldn’t grab her
skirts with one hand and her back
hair with the other if she wore it
around her arms. A smelling bot
tle, a box of caramels, a powder
puffor, in fact, almcet anything
‘can be hitched to the front end of
i the girdle as an excuse for wearing
it. It is a convenient place lo

Negro Shines in Washington.
Macon Telegraph. ]
The negro cropped out on all oc
casions at the Washington drill,
and it is asserted on high authori
ty that New York and Philadel
phia companies would not attend
on this account. A special to the
New Orleans Picayune furnishes
this:
“This afternoon, as the T.ouis
ville Legion were marching from
the drill ground to their camp, they
pissed a party of negroes standing
on the side of the road, One of the
negroes commenced to curse the
Louisville boys because of their ac
tion the other day in leaving the
grounds when they were placed be
hind a negro company. A member
of the Legion stepped out of the
ranks and struck the negro several
hard blows, knockiny him down
and beating him feartally. It
looked as it there would be a ;zen-l
eral fight, but the negroes near by
were prudent enough to drag away
the man who had used the insult.
ing language. Later a licutenant
of oneof the negro companies de
clared in the camp restaurant that
““there would be a circus in eamp,”
and that “his company would ben
the middle of the circus.” He in
timated also that an attack would
be made on the Vickshurg South
rons to-night, One of Gen. Ord.
way’s staff officers heard the threat
and reported them to the Greneral,
Subsequently Capt. Searles went
over and told Gen. Ordway that if
any negroes came around the camp
of the Southrons to-night he would
not be responsible for the conse
quences, and his men were pres
pared for anything that might hap
pen. Gen. Ordway took pains to
see that the negroes would not be
foolish enough to attempt a row.—
Capt. Searles has also received sev
eral annoymous letters informing
him that his company would be
peppered with rotton egzgs when
they leave here. If this is at
tempted, the Captain says, some
one will get hurt.”

GEORGIA POLITICS,
( A Brilliant Young Georgian Inter
' viewed by a Florida Editor.
}Florida Herald.]
{ “John B. Gordon will be the
| next United States Senator from
Georgia,”
The speaker was Col. John 8
' Candler, Judge Advocate General
l ofthat State, and one of the brain
dest and most distinguished of
younger Georginus, He is known
as one of the most vigorous and
| capable politiciins of his State, and
| isagentleman of the highest stand
ing, both socially and in his pro
fession of the law.
‘How is that? asked the Herald
in surprise.
Well, Gordon has made Georgia
a magnificent Governor, and has
been converting his enemies into
friends with amazing rapidity and
regularity every day since his in
auguration. Wherever he goes
among the people he is irresistible,
He went down to Macon last week
the very stronghold of his enemies
and, before he left, Macon was
‘wild over him, and Major Hanson,
his powerful and long standing en
emy, of the Telegraph, was eulog
izing him heartily. He went to
Savannah and captured the city,
all factions uniting in enthusiasm
for him. Augnsta wasa great cen
tre of opposition, but his memorial
day speech and visit to Augusta
changed all that, and there his ops
ponents were turned to admiration.
He is maguectic and irresistable,
and the people of Georgia are more
enthusiastic about him than they
have ever been.’
‘But how about Joe Brown?
“Tt is pretty well settled now
that Senator Brown will not be a
candidate for reelection. His
friends-generally understand this
and it is safe to say that Senator
Brown will not be a candidate. It
he is not, you may put it down as
certain that Gordon will be Geor
gia’s next Senotor.”

he calls to his aid an ability which

A Bpunky Woman,
CuATTANOOGA, TENN, Junel.—
Miss Mary Childers,a pretty school
teacher of Trenton, Ga., heard
some time ago that John Morgars
had been circulating slanderous re
ports about her. She rode across
Lookout Mountain, fitteen miles,
and at the muzzle of a shotgun,
forced her traducer to apologize.
Then she published Yiorgars as an
“‘infamous scoundrel and a bad
man generally,” and Morgars sent
her a challenge to fight. The little
woman went to the spot to meet
him, but Morgars didn’t show up,

If any one were to walk one way
through all the streets of London,
he would be obliged to go a dis
tanee of 2,600 miles, or as far as
it is across the contivert from New
York to San Franeiscd, In our
approach to this ¢ity as well as our
rambles throngh its streets, we
shall not be struck so much by its
splendid and imposing appearance
a 8 by its immensity. Go where we
may, there seems to be no eud of
the town. It is fourteen miles one
way; aud eight the other, and con
tains a population of nearly four
million people, which is greater in
deed, than that of Switzerland or
the kingdoms of Denmark and
Greece combined. Weare told on
good authority that there are more
Scotchmen it London than in Ed
inburg, more Irishmen than in
Dublin, and more Jews than in
Palestine, with foreigners from all
part of the world, including a'!
great number of Americans. Yet '
there are &0 many Englishmen in
Loudon that one is not likely to
notice the presence of these peo=
ple of other nations.
This vast body of citizens eat
every year 400,000 oxen, 1,500,
000 sheep, 8,000,000 chickens and
game birds. not to speak of calves,
hogs, and different kinds of fish.
They consume 500,000,000 oysters
which, which, although it seems
like a large number, would only
give, if equally divided among all
the people, one oyster every third
day to each person. There are
300,000 servants in London,
enough people to make alarge city;
but as this gives only one servant
to each dozen citizens, it is quite
evident that a great many of the
people must wait on themselves.

The Journal of Education says
that an infant loses from three to
six ounces in weight during the
first four to six days after birth;
by the seventh day it should have
regained its birth-weight; from
that to the fifth month it ought to
gain about five ounces per week, or
about six drams a day; after the
fifth month about four drams a
day; at the fifth month it ought to
have doubled its birth-weight, and
