A Had Picture. Indianapolis Sentinel. A sad picture was presented one morning last week on one of the roads leading liunahls city. A wagon on ita way to the insane aJJBtan contained a woman of unsound mind. In her arms, pressed to her bosom, was the lifeless body of an Infant. Three other little ones, whose destiny was the poor-house, were crouched in the wagon, shivering and cold. By the woman's side sat her husband, with his head bowed in sorrow. A pair of handcuffs were locked around his wrists. The family of six was to be rndcly separated, perhaps forever. Their destination* were the asylum, the poor- house. the jail and the grave. The mother, it . is understood, would not consent to her re moval unless she could take her dead child along. The father’s crime was not found out. (Uimcntal a re sting Love.

General Grant U not the wealthy man he ins been represented to.be. He is very mnehinneedof the pay provided for in Sen, Logan's bill restoring him to ihe trmy. At present, according to trustworthy ■eporta, he is without any j-ersonnl inomo. Hie houso given him in New York was leeded to his wife when Gen.

Ihe money was invested in Wabash rail- ■osd stock. There is no stock in the market hat has gone down in such a remarkable Icgreo as this. It has depreciated in value o such an extent that the investment for Sen. Grant now represents a compirative- y small sum, ami from it no income is ob- nined. More than this, it is not believed, rom ihe condition of tho road, that the itockwill be worth very’ much for a long ,jme lo come. Had the money been given mtright to Gen. Grant nnd invested in government bonds, it would.have repre- entod something more tangible than it loos to-day. Possibly Air. Jones could be teld responsible for the money; but, con- idcriog tho fact that he is the man who nised it. tho matter is altogether too den tate a one for Gen. Grant to pKM.

A Machine to Ameliorate the Horror* ortrsitzing. San Prancisco roll. ®\Yhllo all admit the fascination of a good waltz wltli a good partner, anybody, even the imast giddy schoolgirl, who would pretend to find anything pleozurcable in the usual crowd ed ball room dunce would be lookrtl upon as a descendant of Ananias and Sapphlra. No one but a fatwittol martyr to society coulu meekly endure the shoving, crowding, bumping, shin- kicking and com tramping we see at ninety- nine parties out of a- hundred. But, unfortu nately, at such gatherings it has long been found impossible to prevent either crowding or dancing. It will, therefore, rejoice oursen- sible readers to learn that the writer lias devot ed many years of profound thought and things to tho discovery of some feasible plan by which ’ the modem waltz could be rendered a less dangerous and destructive poitime than at present. . In the first place, in order to accnrately gauge the precise amount of boduy suffering endured by the average waltz of six minutes duration, the writer repaired to a fashionable public hail at tho Corenact ot Bad Breath llall, os it Is popularly called. This apartment Is about forty-five by seveuty feet, and on the occasion In question was occupied by gay 2,0ij0 couples, more or less. As might be imagined, the number of killed and wounded during the round dance* was very great, and the receipt* of the local chiropodists the next day propor- tionutcl v large. On the occasion in question the writer re frained from waltzing until tho very last "ex tra,” which was danced ut-about 4:15a. m.. and when the jam was comparatively much re duced. He had previously prepared himself for the exi-erimcnt by filling with flour his riglithand pants pocket, through a small hole In which it escaped In a thin stream to the floor, and in this manner leaving a distinct trail of tho course danced. The next morning a convoluted line on the floor exhibited the usual spasmodically tortuous trail token by tho average waltzer to nvoid collisions, with an un usual deposit of flour in spot*, knocked out of the writer by being Jammed into by some equally exasperated -lancer. , with tills experience the writer experimented upon many devices to secure safe and ond prm tected waltzing in crowds like tho one referred to. Among otner devices, tliat ot having the underclothing saturated with arsenic, was thought of—by which means tho contusions could bo healed os fast as inflicted. A device cnnslstingof apatent leather dress coat, studded with sharp spikes jxiinting outward, porcupine fashion, was found to bo impracticable, as no lady would submit to tha terpstchorean em braces of such a partner. It was observed, however, that good waltxcre required but s very limited room to.dancc on, an unoccupied space averaging from the size of a cellar door down to a twenty-five cent piece being consid ered entirely adequate by the fortunate find ers. Tiiis fact finally suggested the following wonderful invention of Mr. Dodd: ■■ lie proposes to have tho entire length and breadth of tho halt filled with fencra crossing at right angles, and placed about five feet apart. This structure Is suspended to the ceiling, with pulleys at the corners, so that it cau be raised during square dances and promenades. The floor Is also marked In corresponding square*, each being numbered in the centre. Each couple on entering the ball-room receives a number assigning them to their particular space.

TRICKS IX GA.lfBLr.YG, The Poker Ring, the spy, the SI ripper wad Last, Bnt set Least, the Bug. St. Louis Republican. One ot the newest tools is ths poker ring, an ingenious little contrivance for mark* ing the cards while playing, in a systematic mauner, so that in a half hour one can tell each card as well by the back' as by the face. Although not general y know n, it is now in use by n few of the oldest aud be^t professional players in the country. It is no secret that in the gaming houses marked back playing cards a-e used. The pattern on the back seems innocent enough until held at a cer tain distance under the light, and then tbe difference between the cards may be seen. The greenhorn cannot tell the pack fro^n fair card* in common use; but the profes sional can tell precisely the cards that h s opponent holds. There are loaded dice, which am made in exact imitation of ordi nary dice. Then there is the spy, a re flector ot about the size of n half-dollar, which, it is grid, ean be used wi h pefect safety, either on the table or on ths knee. As for "strippers,” another device in cards, a gambler says: “Tim benefit of these cards - can be estimated only m one way, and that is by tho amount of money your opponent has got: for you are certain to get it, whether it is $10, or $10,- 000; the heavier the stakes tho cooneryou break him, and he never knows what hurt him.” “The bag" is u devica tor with drawing from the pack a number of cards from whioh the player c in make up a hand to suit. » wet In tbe Fog. Burlington Hatckeye. Erasmus T. Ruggleson, a young man of Saxon lineage, worked on a farm out here in Yellow Springs township. He was not rich, but he was industrious and just too pretty for anything. So was the daughter of the farmer for whom he worked. She was wealthier than Erasmus, but she was not proud. When the chores were done iu the winter evenings, she went with him to the singing school and she walked by his side to church. She loved him ; she hud rattier sit at her casement in the gloaming, anct> hear him holler “po-oo-eyl" in long-drawn, mellow cadencies, at the hour of the feeding of the swine, than tear Cum- puniui siua ‘‘Macaroni del Vermicelli” from"Handorgshanni in Venezuela.” And lie—he was clean gone on her.

When they foolishly let the old man into their plans for each other’s happiness and half the farm, the wrathfal agriculturist said if ho heard one more word of such nonsense, just another word, he would lay that farm waste with physical havoc, and blight ita winter wheat with tbe salt team of his only child, and that was the kind of a father-in-law he was inclined to be, Natura’iy, the young people determined to By, Their plana were laid; the night was set. So was the ladder. At its foot wailed the ardent Erasmus RuggIe«on, gazing at the window for the appearance of His love. Presently the window opened softly, and a face he loved appeared. “Rasmus!” “Florence l” “Yes, dearest. Shall I drop my things right down V” “Yes, love; I will catch them. Let the bundle fall.” The glittering starlight in the clear March night fell on Erasmus’ glad and up turned faco. So did a trunk, four feet high, four feet wide, and about eight feet loug. It wighed ebook 2,700 pounds. It contained a few “things” that no woman could be expected to travel without, and Florence had spent three weeks packing tTOi: fOr ner empCmCtit. Erasmus Ruggleson did not scream- He did not moan. He couldn’t. Hi had no show. Florence came down the ladder, having first, with a maidenly sense of pro priety, requested her lover to turn his back and look at the barn. He was busily en gaged in looking at the bottom of that trank, and tbinjang how like all creation he would yell if he ever got his mouth out. doors again. Florence reached the bottom of the lad der. “Did yon get my trank, Erasmus?" she said, looking around for him. “Ob, yes,” eaid a horse mocking voice at her elbow. “Oh, yes, he -rot it. Got it bad, too.” SI10 turned, knew her papa, shrieked once, twice, again, and once more for the boys, and fainted away. “ I never worried about it a minute,” the heartless, old man told his neighbors the next day'” “though I knowed well enough what xvns going on all the time. I’ve been married twice, an’ I’ve married off four daughter* and two sons, on’if I don’t know what baggage a woman carries when she travels, by this time, I’m too old to learn.” And Erasmus Ruggleson!

Tbe Hero Imagined nt name. “Loaf ing Around Monnt Yearn on. Milwaukee Sun. I don’t know how it was with tbe rest of the crowd, but I could imagine George Washington loafingnround Mount Vernon, enjoying himself like ntsy other human be ing. Most people think of him as he is seen in the picture*—grand in appearance, dignified, making'his farewell address, or mounted on horseback, leading troops to battle. I cduld not think of him iu that way while wandering around his home, where he was not supposed to be on dress parade. I coaid see him come oat of the back door by tho well in the morning without any collar on, Ms suspenders hang ing down by bis fide, a pair of blue woollen stockings on his feet that Martha knit, nnd see him pour some water iu a tin wash ba3in, take a handful of soft .soap and wash himself. As I stood by ihe side of his bed I wondered howmnny times he had got Martha np in tho night to put mustard drafts on liis feet when he bad a cold, or had her bring him n bowl of gin ger tea to get up a sweat. I couldn't think of him as a President, or a gecernl of armies, there at bis home, but only as a man liable to have mnlly-grnbs, be cross, and talk snssy if he felt like it. It is right to revere the memory of George Washing- iogtoD, but is it wise to tench children that ho was a saint and try to qet them to fol low his example in everything ? There is one mistake that George and Martha made, and I have no doubt that they .regret it as much as anybody, and that is in not leaving nuy posterity. George wns a man that would have made an ex cellent lather, and Martha always looked to me ns though it would have improv ed her 100 per cent to hnve had her picture taken with a baby in her armSs-aod I have wondered at it more than a little that they struggled through the times that tried men’s soul’s, and upper leather, too, nnd came out victorious, nud never had nn7 children. Of course, daring the war, when everything wns high, it was all George conld do to be the father of his country; but when peace spread her mantle over the country, and there were no more English men to conquer, nnd they settled down there at Mount Vernon to enjoy home comforts, it would seem as though n flock of babies would have just filled the bill. We fat down iu the old kitchen to lunch and drank a cup of coffee right by the old ‘fireside where hundreds of menls hnd been cooked for George Washington. The old crane war in tho fireplace, on which bad been cooked the possum, the deer aud tho duck, and I wns so overcome by the thought that where I sat Georgs Washington had walked around and told the colored cioks how to baste tho canvas-buck duck so as to retain the flavor, that every time the door opened I expected to see George and Mar- tha come in and ask ns to take off our things' and stay to supper. Bat they didn’t. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the bout wh’siled, and we passed down by the tomb, dropping a tear aud a cigar-stub in front of the vault, and s’camed away from a spot that should be dearer than any ether to the heart of every American.

Brown—I present u petition of a number of tbe leading bankers, merchants, mi l other prominent citizens of the city of Atlanta, Georgia, praying that an adequate appropriation be made for the improve ment of the harbor of Savannah. I ask tbe indulgence-of the Senate while l sub mit a few remark* in couuection with the petition. A few days since I r resented tbe petition Of William M. Wadley, president of tho Central Railroad and Banking Company of Georgia, and a nmulier of prominent citizens of the city of Savannah, asking for the appropriation that is asked for in this instance by the prominent citizens of tbe city of Atlanta. Savannah, as is well knowo, I suppose to all Senators, is the second cotton port in the Union. There is a vast amount of na val stores, rice, h'des, wool, aud other pro ductions, in addition to the cot on that passes out of the country through the poTt of Savannah It is not only a very imiior- tant port to the South, but also important to the West. Our railroad system is so constructed through the South that there are several prominent lines of railroad all centering toward the port of Savanuali.Mf:Trst, the Central Railroad system of th TState em braces seme six or reven hundred miles of road uuder one control, and taking it in connection with its control of the Georgia road, more thaa that. That is all worked in connection with the exportation of pro ductions at Savannah. The Louis ville hnd Nasoville system, which is very prominent and controls prob ably somejtwo thousand miles of road, or nr«re, works in harmony with the Central. That combination of rosds natu rally looks to Savannah as an outlet for a groat deal of tlie produce that is shipped over its lines. There is then tbe Hue by way of ihe Georgia and Central, through Atlanta over the State Road, as it is called, by the National, Chattanooga »nd Saint Loui*, also connecting with the Louisville end Nashville road tojthe Western cities. There are the same connections up to Chattanooga and then connecting with the Cincinnati Southern, all pointing to the same object. There is also the tins from Chattanooga to Memphis, Tennessee, con necting the Mississippi River with tbe same liues of rood. In addition to that, there is what is called tbe Cole-Seney syndi cate, which now controls over 2,(AM miles of road, including its eornection with the roads of what is called the Norfolk and Western. That is building two additional links, one from Rome, Ga., to Atlanta, and the other from Atlanta to M»con, which wi 1 ! Bom be completed, and gives them a direct connection both with Savan nah and Brunswick, Ga. AU of these con nections by rail point to Savannah as an outlet. Hence it is that there is such a large collection of the cotton of the South, running up to seven or eight hundred thousand bales a yesr, and going ont through the port of Savannah. This presents the Southern view of the subject, but tbe great Western States are almost as much interested in that port as we are of the South. During several months of winter, when the canals are fro zen over, the Western States are dependent as matters now stand, almost exclusively upon the great trunk Hues for the trans portation of all the productions of tbe West that seek an outlet through the east ern cities, and many a time it happens that those three trank lines are not able to transport the productions anything like as fast os it is desired by shipp^S that they should be transported. ^ These railroad connectio "8 which I have just mentioned, form another grand outlet for the Western productions and for good6 going from NeW York to the West through thepdrlof Savannah, either to foreimi ports or to New York; aB Mftf ftOIJl West as the trdiik uU ate to New York from tho West, When I eaw “as near” X mean «g ilear, calculating it as we calcu late on transportation lines, connecting land and water lines together. In other words, count your miles of railroad, and then count on the ocean (where the road is 'built by nature and you only have to put on tho rolling stock, so to speak, or the steamers, four miles of ocean for one of rail, and you have from tho city of Memphis, from tho city of Saint Louis, from the city o Louisville from the city of Cincinnati a lino to’New York through Savannah as near and for some one cr two of the cities mentioned nearer than the trank lines I have mentioned by which the productions of the West are usually shipped to New York. Hence the opening of the harbor of Savannah, so rb to muko tho channel deep enough that ships of large size can go in and out, opens for the West another great comi>cting line equal to either of the three great trunk line* for the exportation of the commerce of the West, not only to foreign ports, but directly through Now York. This is a very great milter to tho West as we 1 os to the fcouth. What would it cort to do it? The port of Savannah is a peculiar one. Tho water on the bar is twenty-six feet in depth at high tide. It meds no improvement. There are twenty miles of river, however, between the bar and the city. At the close of the war they had all been obstructed by timber and sail vessels sunk in it so ns to keep out the gunboats. That obstruction had to be removed. After it wes removed and a sys tem of improvement of. the harbor had been commenced, it was found that there were only about thirteen or fourteen feet of water there. The engineer* adopted a system of improvement of the channel, which with the motgre appropriations heretofore made ha* increased the depth to from eighteen to nineteen feet at high tide. In the river nud hnrbor net of last year the engineer corps wns instructed to make a further survey with a view to deep ening the chnnnel to twenty two feet, which would let in large vessels. That sur vey has been made with great ca-e, nnd the reiiort is tlrnt tbe channel for the twen ty miles from the city of Savannah down to the bar, which bar is deep enough, can be made twenty-two feetdoep for $700,000; and the engineer’s report earnertly urges that $1150,000 of that amount be appropriated this year for the opening of thntimportant SEND FOR Illustrated Catalogue And Prioes of DIAMONDS, WATCHES and JEWELRY —TO- d.
