The First Bale.

enable her to hurv it. The wo¬

Mrs. Dwiglu says: “Mv child look
sick on Friday last and died the
next morning. 1 sought relief
among the neighbors and tried to
raise money to bury the child, but
was met with a cold response every¬
where 1 went. Even the societies
to which some people advised me
to apply refused to assist me. A

A Fastidious Colored Youth.
An interesting colored individu
a), by the name of Henry Willi
nine who boards with his mother,
Martha Williams, at her house on
the Waters road, a few miles from
the city, was guilty of a most atro
cious assault upon his maternal
parent yesterday morning about
half past six o’clock. It appears
tiiHt the loving son became ili
lemj>®red because bis breakfast
war not ready when he wanted it,
and proceeded to make himself
generally disagreeable, but his
mother, being accustomed to such
undutifo! conduct, paid no atten¬
tion to his ugly remarks. When
at last the meal was prepared.
Henry took his seat, but in a
second Hew into a violent rage on
discovering that his coffee had not
settled and was rather muddy.
Jumping up he seised a large knife,
and before the old woman could
get out of the way the iras¬
cible Henry made a savage wipe
at her head, succeeding in nearly
slicing off a piece of her ear. The
blood spurted from the cut, and
the valiant youth, becoming fright¬
ened, left the place, Martha came
into the city and proceeded to the
city dispensary, where the injured
auricular organ wus properly
dressed by Dr. Lewis Cass, tbe
efficient keeper, and healing reme¬
dies applied. Tlie old woman re¬
marked with much earnestness

Yesterday morning considerable

to obey orders and delving the
Gus Maumis. a negro horee
thief, had been abusing a ltoy on
,h„ gang, and treating him so
roughly Uiat lie complained to
Twilley, the guard. .Mr. T, then
told Uus he must not bother the
boy, but let him do his work. To
this the negro replied. “U’eil, Twilley but
suppose 1 won’t do it?" Mr.
told him he would make him. The
negro tiieu raised his shovel, stepp¬
ed back a few steps, cursed Mr
Twilley and dared him to come
near. Mr. Twilley then sent for
an officer. Lietenant Joines came
and endeavored to reason with the
negro, but to no purpose, the latter
telling him if he came to him he
would brain him with the shovel.
By this time several officers had
arrived, and Mr, Twilley left to see
the county commissioners for ad¬
vice. The negro then said to the
others. “Now, come lees us go.”
Lieutenants Joines and Roberts,
and Officers Burrue, St. Clair and
him Lloyd then with concluded bricks to knock
down and capture
him without shedding blood. This
they were about to carry into effect
when some citizens interfered, and
after much coaxing the negro agreed
to give up bis shovel and go to jail.

under the new census the Southern
States will lose thirteen Representa¬
tives in Congress and may possibly
gain three—two in Texas and one
in Missouri. The Northern States
will probably lose eight members
and gain eighteeen—the gains going
to Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa t
Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and
California. Eleven Democratic
States will probably lose thirteen
Representatives, and two Demo¬
cratic States gain three Representa¬
tives ; four Republican States lose
five Iieprcja ntalives, and seven Re
publican Suites gam eighteen, while
three doubtful Stales lore four Rep
resell ia lives.
