Muscogee county Is re ported to full, but Marlon and Chattahoo chee counties are only partially heard from, in a reliable shape. Marlon, taking the Buena Vista vote as a criterion hy which to judge, is pretty largely opposed to a Convention, while Chattahoochee will probably give a respectable majority for Convention. There Is no uncertainty about the elec tion of four of the six candidates, Messrs Ingram, Little, Wilson and Howell, but it Is not so clear whether Mr. Peabody or Mr. Fontaine Is elected for the fifth place, as the returns rocelved make the contest between them pretty close—Mr. Fontaine leading 10 votes, but still leaving strong precincts to bear from, wiiich will per haps decide it, when heard from, the oth er way. Some of Mr. Peabody’s friends think he will be elected by 150 to 200 ma jority, while Mr. Fontaine’s friends are hopeful of his increasing his present ma jority.

THE HOY IN' THE ALLEY. Yesterday afternoon a Brush street housewife lugged a bedstead iuio the backyard, leaned it against the fence, rolled up her sleeves, and Went back and brought out a teakettle full of boiling water. Her sole object was to wash off the dust und cobwebs which settle on every bedstead in the land, and she needn’t have looked all around in ti sly and stealthy way be fore proceeding to business. There was a boy in the alley. He was hunting for [dander in a [die ot rubbish, and, hearing the woman in the yard, he looked through the tence and began to chuckle. He knew that her object was to put tiie bedstead m tidy trim for the summer campaign. But yet. he maliciously called out: ’’Have the water up to the biling [lint if you want to knock ’em !” Tbe woman put the tea-kettle down in a hurry and looked up at the win dows on either side. No oue wis visible, but presently the boy in the alley remarked: ’’Don’t let the water git, cold!” She located him that time, but she disdained to heed his remarks. Lift ing up the kettle again, stie began giving the cobwebs another soaking. “Now follow up with kerosene!” hoarsely exclaimed the boy as she paused R*r a moment. Her face darkened, and she looked anxiously around, amf nothiug but Iho consciousness that everybody has to clean off the spring cobwebs prevented her from feeling bail. ”\Ve alius use corrosive sublimate to kill them!” called the hoy irom the knot hole. She weut down to the fence and asked who was there aud what was wanted. "I don’t want nuthin,” he softly re plied, "only you can’t never kill ’em with hot water!” •‘Can’t kill what?” she sternly de manded. "Bumble-bees!” he chuckled. We’ve had ’em home ever since I was born.” "Boy, I’m only cleaning tho dust off that beadstead,” she said, as she got closer to teh knot-hole. "You kin call It dust, if you want to, but 1 never saw ma jab at dust with a sharp stick.” “You are a mean, impudent boy, and I want you to go away irom here at once,” she exclaimed. “This alley belongs to the city,” he replied, “and I can’t gev You’d better hurry back there, or they’ll come to,” She picked up a stick, laid it down after a moment, and going to the house she brought out a huge piece or apple pie. “Boy, aren’t you hungry?” she asked."as she reached the fence. "You bet!” “And if I give you this, will you go away?” “I will that; I’ll whoop right out of the neighcorhood iu two minutes, aud you kin tuck a shingle over this knot hole.” “Well, now, here it is," she said, as she reached it over. “And I wpn’t tell no one what I saw, ma’am, for wr’ro all ‘liable to find ’em, aoa nm says she really be lieves they’re a sign of good luek. Thankee, and if I was you I’d leave tho bedstead outdoors to-night, and let ’er freeze up. Fust-rate pie, and don’t let that water get cold!” — De troit Free Dress. A FABLE. (Not from jEsop.)

Amsterdam may almost be con sidered as a bouudary mark between North and .South Holland ; two dis tinct worlds. Southward you reach Rotterdam, and so progress beyond into a better, more frequented couu iry. Every one is aquainted with' Belgium. Who has not visited Ant werp? And yet, though short the journey be, who, comparatively speaking, has extended Ids travels into Holland, and made friends with its quaint old towns; its drawbridges and gabled houses; its canals and itinerant barges; Its ancient outlines and modern facings; its energetic people, with their straightforward countenances and shrill voices; its schiedam, curacoa aud inevi table cheese? Southward of Am sterdam is one thing. North ward, on the other hand, yon get iu to quite another world. Into the neighborhood of the dead cities ot the Zuyder Zee, where you feel as much withdrawn from civilization as if you had been landed on a South S a Island ; through the uncomfort able possibility of being devoured by candibals is nappily not a feature of Dutch territory, Still higher, you reach the Helder, the most northerly point, of Holland. Unable to get be yond this point, you must, either put out to sea or retrace your steps land ward, Up here the aspect of the country has changed. Flat enough, certainly ; it must be that in Hollaud and anything else w'ould excite alarm ; but the dykes have broadened their canals; there is almost more water than land ; the grass is beau tilully green, but there is not so much of it; the cows have diminished in number; and the en gineering works, necessary t@ keep out the beseiging enemy, have to be carried out with marvelous precision. If they were neglected,and gave way. the inhabitants, some fine night, would find themselves sailing out to the North Seattle commencement to them of a Voyage that would launch them into the yet greater sea of eternity. Just aerosa, on the oth er side of the Zuyder Zee, and stretching up further northward, you come upon Firesland, whose women are justly celebrated for their beau ty. Before getting there, you wont dor whether you will iind the ancleu plaee with all its distinguished marks of antiquity about, it; not only upon ttie houses and public build ings, but characterizing its men and women, their costumes, habits and modes of life.
