A white servant girl in the northern r' of the city, it appears, has loved not visely, but too well. In the we soma hours o' the morn, one day last week, she awoke to the sad realization of the fact that she was a mother. Upon being questioned as to the male party jointly responsible with her for the new addition to the city's population, she charged it upon the colored coachman employed in the same family as herself. This individual was sought out and told that he must right his share of the wrong by marrying the girl, to which he consented. But when he appeared on the scene legally Ereparedtomake the new comer a legitimate eir to his estate, the mother "kicked," and still stubbornly refuses to add to her duties as mother, that of wife. Obituary Mrs, Sarah Raynor. Departed this life, Sunday, July 10th. Sister Sarah Raynor, wife of Elder J. R. Raynor. She has gone to le with the Lord, after spending a life full of good deeds, devoted to Sahbath-ichool work, and other Christian charities. She labored earnestly every day and was ever glad of chances to work in gathering the little ones. Unlike many of us, it was no burden to her to give an höur, a day to the good work. She always choose an humble and modest manner in which to glorify God, who desires us to possess the mind which was in Christ. Ever in her seat ready to do her part, God summoned her in mid life tö himself, where she wi'l ever be with Him. Let us all strive to imitato her life, and like her to die with Christian fortitude. S. C. II. Armstrong May Pearly, daughter of Washington and Melinda Armstrong, died at the family residence, corner Mississippi and Fourth streets, July 8th, and was buried the following day. "NY e regret very much this sad bereavement of our friends, in the loss of their only chill. It is sad to part with so promising a child, but the reflection that she has gone to eternal rest is some consolation. All things work for the best for those who love the Lord, and little Pearly was one. The parents have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends in their bereavement. Maud S., Rarus a ml St. Julien at Shelbyville. At the picnic at Shelbyville last Wednesday two knights of the mace, who went down from the city to preserve order,fancied a man, who for a number of years has been attending to the fair grounds at Shelbyville, an escaped convict for whom there wa a reward of $50. The "cops" could not think of letting the lucre slip through their fingers, so they ''harnessed'' their man and started to town with him. All went well for a while, but when they got near the prisoner's home , he showed a disposition to kick. St. Julien told him to be quiet or his immortal soul would be immediately consigned to the uttermost depths of hades, (better known as hell). The kicking continued and St. J. pulled his cannon ,and let go a thirty -two pounder in the direction of where the comet was last seen. This so enraged the prisoner that, although held by Maud S. and Rarus, he broke loose and, alter wheeling his ordnance into position, opened tire. Then the fun began. Rarus started first with a good lead, with Maud S. second and St, J. third. This state of affairs did not last long. The continued roar of the late prisoner's artillery accelerated their movements an 1 St. Julien got down to his work and soon distanced his competitors. The regular train switched at Acton and allowed them to pass. Atter reaching the city, toot sore and weary, it is said that they tried to prevail on the Governor to call out the Light Infantry to protect them. Avenue Idyl.

He says he would just fall down on him and "make a mash" of the scoundrel. Billy Hindla is a red-hot Garfield man, and says if the President recovers he is going to celebrate the occasion in a fitting manner. Doc Lucas is still orthodox, and wants it understood that he is prepared at any time to prove the correctness of his position by documentary evidence. Charlie Kite has about recovered from his rheumatics. Charlie says he has sowed all of his wild oats and is going to "play brace' the remainder of his days. Mays, Pinkston, Rankin & Co. need the prayers of a sympathizing public. They still contend that the earth is square, has a brick and mortar foundation, and ''do move." A certain party on the Ave has been trying different methods of "mashing,'' after experimenting with the boys, a stove, and other articles, she conceived the idea that the difficult feat might be performed on something soft, and accordingly tried a pan of rojls. She succeeded.

MEN i)V THE HOUR.

"Some are born greiit, some fchieve prothtrs: ami xme liave tfrentnes thrust iin iIm ui." -SliakesjM'Br-. JAMES A. GARFIELD, PKKSIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. The Victim of a Foul Assassin.) A great calamity has befallen tho Nation! so great that party politics have disappcaretl lor the time, and all, as a common brotherhood, are plunged In sorrow and gloom. That glorious epoch In American history, the Fourth of July, has come and gone without a smile having piay ed on the Hps of this great Republic without one sound of true joy on the air. The noble and good representative of the Nation has been strichen down by the hand of an assassin, and whue we write is lying at tfce point of death. As all the world knows by this time. President Garfield, while entenne the depot of the Balti more and Potomac Kailroad. at Washington, on the morning of the 2d inst., was shot down from behind by an assassin.who deliberately and rapidly tired twice at hira with a revolver ot large calibre, and lodged two balls in his bodv, one of which is said to have penetrated his liver. He was accompanied at the time by Mr. Secretary Blaine: and. turnine at the first shot. received the fecond and fell mortally wounded, it is feared, to the Moor. The dismay and consternation was beyond description. A great crime had been committed, and in the confusion the assassin had attempted to escape. The monster was arrested, however, ana was hurried off to nnson before the crowd which was nresent at the station comprehended the full extent of the crime, else he had been torn limb from Umb. The President was on his way to New York to meet Mrs. Garfield and some members of his family who, with other distinguished per sonaecs. were to spend Sunday with him at Ir vinirton on the Hudson, and to proceed thence on Monday to Williamstown, Mass., to attend the commencement exercises of Williams College, of which he is a graduate. The party were to remain at Williamstown until Thursday, at which time they were to proceed by rail to bt. Aloans, t and, after visiting other places, were to be the guests of Mr. Secretary Blaine, at Augusta, Me., on Tuesday. After this they were to sojourn by water along the coast, visiting Mount Desartand other places of Interest, returning to Bangor, and from thence to Boston. The Legislature of New Hampshire having by resolution invited the President to make them a visit, the party in tended to co to Concord, and from this latter place to New Concord, Mass. After this they were to commence their return trip calling at New York, by the way of Hartford and New Haren, in the expectation of reaching Washing ton bv the 17th or lhth or the preseht montn. Were we not an intelligent people, and free from the trammeis of superstition, we mlsht, in case of the President's death which may Heaven forefend be inclined to detect in the encumstances connected with it a parallel between it and that of ursar. A fiery meteor streamed in the heavens at the time of the assassination of the Roman Emperor, and the populace at once set down the phenomenon as a prognostication of his death. And here, should the President die. the nam 11 el is eomnlete. for while the deadly weapon of the infamous assassin was leveled at him a comet tlamcd in the northern sky, and still Hamr-H in that reirion. ftirnishine morbid food for those wti are not given to the sublime facts of astronomical science. It were a work of supererogation to recapitu late here the details oi the excitement, conster nation and anguish that reach us from all parts of the land, and from the various civilized nations of the world. Suthceit to say, that the great heart of humanity has been stricken to the core, and that all men stare aghast at a crime so wan ton so demoniacal, and at a period too when ieace and Plenty fill the land from sea to sea. In this hour of almost supreme sorrow, the American people must experience a feeling of melancholy pride at the cool and collected man ner in which this kind and brave soldier deported himself when he thought the hand of death was upon him of a surety, and while his proud spirit suppressed any outward semblance of the internal agony caused by his cruel wounds. The univer sal sympathy of foreign nations also must be most cheering to us and to the prostrate soldier and statesman, as well as to his family and kin dred. Every heart flows out tenderly toward him and toward Mrs. Garfield, who is doubly tried by this terrible visitation, owing to the deli cate state of her health. At the period of the dreadiul deed she was at Ixne Branch : but was soon by the side of the President, administering to his soul that anodyne which falls in words of comfort and hope and love from the lips of a true and cherished wife, and which so supplements the skill ot the physi cian. On being borne from the scene of the dis aster to the White House on recovering his con sciousness. after having been rendered partially insensible by the bullet of the assassin , Guiteau he expressed a desire that she should be sent for; and that the telegram should be couched in such a manner as not to shock her too severely. This alone speaks volumes for the tenderness of his affection for her an affection extended to all his children. But while lamenting this dreadful visitation and one of which the mother of the President seems to have had some presentiment -there Is some solace in the consideration that the act was that of an irresponsible person or fiendish maniac, who was an outcast among men, ami who was not recognized as a reputable meml)cr of any political party. There is some consolation in this, and in the further fact that the Nation is a unit in its sympathy with the illustrious sufferer and his family, and in its denunciation of the assassin and the act. Here all party lines are obliterated, attd Democrat and Republican are alike sad and sore at heart. And thus there has always been found running through humanity one common chord vibrating sympathetically to the touch of human woe, or any overwhelming disaster such as nas just overtaken us. We annex a likeness of the miscreant who has wrought this terrible deed and devastation, so as to concentrate upon him a still more deadly nairei ana aversion, were such possible. Cn ARLES J. GUITEAU. (The wonld-he Assassin.) A Card. Editor Leader: Sir: On the 4th day of July the following named lodges of the U. ß. S. held their annual reunion and celebration at the Exposition grounds of this city, viz.: St. John's, No.10, Friendship, No. 3, Gibson, No. 2, Sumner, No. 11, and tor reasons which at that time and now I deemed proper, I did not turn out with them in my official capacity as D. G. M. of the State; which fact I learn did then and has since provoked not a little animated comment from some few would-be oracles within the ranks of our noble order, who seem to possess just enough intelligence and just enough regard for the cold letter of truth, either to 'put their foot' in any matter open to honorable explanation, or distort the truth in the interest of malicious falsehood. Now, what are the facts in the matter? For near two days the chief magistrate of the Nation had been at the point of death, shot down in cold blood at tho threshold of duty and grave responsibility, at a time when we were the least able to spare him, and when he had reached the proudest eminence in

"

his patriotic career. To say that the Nation was rhocked would but partially express it.

The cixiüzi ti world stood still in In. nor and amazement at the holiih deed, while froi.i every quaiter of tho globo caino messages of condolence and sympathy to the lereaved family of our beloved President and our gor-Tow-striekenNa'.ion. Förth deed of crystal lized fiendihnes, as it was, united tho great American people in londc of brotherhood and sympathy as no event had done since tho death of the immortal Lincoln. Demo crat? vied with Republicans in heart-felt expressions of grief and condemnation. Tho Catholic, the Jew arrd the Protestant forgi t for the time-being all sectarian lines anI became as one people in the hour of grief and sadness which had overtaken the Nation. On the morning of the 4th of July the honored Governor of our State issued a proclamation to ur citizens requesting of them (not demanding) that all intended festivities and celebrations of tho day be dispensed with, and instead of making it a day of reckless, boisterous pleasure, that it bo ono of devotion, supplication and prayer. Acting upon this request, so patriotic in its conception, so just in its application, every wniie, sucrei or religious society in me city. American, German, Hebrew and r rench re voked all advertised excursions and picnics and spent the day as became all true Amer ican citizens, in quiet devotion and respect. But how with a majority of the members and officers of the societies named above? American citizens, all of them, and louder than any other class of citizens generally in their devotion to the principles ot the party whoso chief, then, at that very hour, seemed within the valley ot the shadow of death. Were they aware of it, or had they forgotten it? Or can it bo that they had failed to hear of the Governor's message, or hearing of it, reading it, did they, as requested by the Mayor, march quietly out of the city with mu tiled drums and silent instruments? Yes, they, with all others, were aware of the con dition of the President and had not forgot ten it; and they had also heard and read the Governors message, and yet, despite all these facts, it remained for a lot of colored men to forget decency and the terrible cir cumstances of the hour, to neglect tho duty of patriotic citizenship, to treat with dons. ion and scorn the patriotic request of the Governor and Mayor, while in tinsel regalia and with beating drums and screeching horns they marched through streets and by churches filled with a gnef-stneken people. As 1 looked upon the spectacle so disgraceful to the colored people of this city, I was bowed with mortification and shame. It was in vain that, acting in my official capac ity. I requested that they march quietly out of the city, I was confronted with brutal ignorance and laughed at by men who but a few years ago had been slaves, driven about like swine and cattle, only to be snatched from their barbaric condition by the pro mulgation of those immortal principles be longing to that party, at the head of which to-day stands the man for whose recovery they could not find time to spend an hour in supplication ana prayer. These are the reasons why 1 did not par ticipate in the annual reunion of my order. T. JS. Watson, JU. U. GRAND RALLY. To be held at English's Opera House, for the benefit of Bethel A. M. E.
