box at Ford’s theatre, in the city ofj

Washington. The play was “Our Amer-

“Drunk, by Ned!”
Then he leaned over again.
“Drunk,” he repeated, as he arose
from his knees.
Then, one after another of the po
licemen would lean over, catch the
odor of beer in tlie child’s breath,
and repeat the verdict drunk.
“Yes, sir, drunk on beer just the
same as his daddy. That baby ain’t
much over a year old, eit her.”
“No, he ain’t. Youngest drunk ever
I saw. Wonder if they are going to
make a case against him.”
! “Good lookin’ little shaver, ain’t he?”
All this while the baby was tossing
restlessly on a doubled up stat ion-house
blanket that had been thrown on the
floor right next to the counter there in
the oflice, unconscious of everything
but his own baby dreams.
As the morning watch came in one

scarcely visible. Before leaving the the

aspiration of his heart. He was at
length the undisputed chief magistrate
or a confederation of .States, constitut

At some period of the performance
Sothern appeared on the stage with
“Miss Meredith,” the heroine, on one
arm, and a wrap or shawl carelessly
thrown over the other. The latter
seated herself upon a garden lounge
placed upon the stage near the box oc

WARNER’S SAFE CURE.
A Curious Negro Superstition.
Charlotte (N. C.) Chronicle.
There is an old “darky” superstition
which still holds a place in the minds
of a great many of our colored popula
tion. When the first thunder-storm of
the year comes the superstitious negro
makes a bee-line for the nearest river or
creek. lie may be seen watching the
rolling waters for some time, till at
last he spies a dark object on its surface,
lie grabs it as it floats near the bank.
With one exulting exclamation he binds
the object around his wrist and goes his

What was the object? The skin of a

their skins when lightning first appears,
and the negro believes that winding a

nearly all diseases.

Talking about perpetual motion-

never absolutely at rest. From sun to

for in nine cases out of ten he is editor,
business manager, canvasser, printer

falls his labors are not ended; for copy
must be had for to-morrow, exchanges
skimmed and culled from, delinquents
billed and contracts for cheap advertis
