If I could clasp my Utile babe Upon my breast to-night, I would not mind this blowing wind That shrleketh In afirixht, O my lost babe! my Utile babe! My babe with dreamful eyes! Thy btl Is cold, and night-winds bold bhriek frightful lullaoies.

At the St. Mark's Place cooking school yesterday the chief announced that the disagreeable smell made by cabbage when cook ing may be annihilated by putting a tiny piece of washing soda, not larger than the ton of a lead pencil, in the pot lhis is a great discovery, and should be heralded from Maine to California. The grand blunder which almost all Barents and nurse maids commit is that when the child takes a whim against doing what he is wanted to do will not eat bis bread and butter, will net go out, will not come to his lessons, etc. they, so to 8peak, lay hold of bis hind leg, and drag him to his duties; whereas a person of tact will almost always distract the child s attention from its own obstinacy, and in a few minutes lead it gent ly round to submission. Many persons would think it wrong not to break down the child's self will by main force, to come to battle with him and show him that he is the weaker vessel, but my conviction is that struggles only tend to make his self will more robust. If you can skillfully contrive to delay the dispute for a few minutes and hitch his thoughts off the excitement of the contest, ten to one he will give in quite Cheerfully, and this is far better for him than tears and punishment. That education is imperfect which does not foster in the heart of the child a tender and abiding affection for its mother, Around the idea of one's mother the mind of man clings with fond affection. It is the first dear thought stamped upon our infant hearts, when yet soft and capable of receiv ing the most profound impressions and all the after feelings are more or less light in comparison. Our passions and our wilfulness may lead us far from the object of our nhal love; we may become wild, headstrong and angry at her counsels or opposition, but when death has stilled her monitory voice and nothing Dut calm memory remains to recapitulate her virtues and good deeds, affection. like a flower beaten to the ground by a rude storm, raises up her head and smiles amid her tears. Round that idea, as we have said, the mind clings with fond affection, and even when the earlier period oi our loss torces memory to be silent. lancv takes the place of remembrance, and twines the image of our departed parent with a garland ox graces, and beauties, and virtues. which we doubt not that she possessed. Girls, listen to this, and with virtuous re solve demand, as your right, a pure love: Young men of bad habits and fast tenden cies nver like to marrv a girl of their own sort, but demand a wife above suspicion. So pure, sweet women keep from the touch of evil through girlhood, give themselves, with all tber costly dower of womanhood, into the keeping of men who. in base association have learned to undervalue all that belongs to them, and then nnd no repentance in the sad alter years. There is but one way out of this, and that is lor you to require in associations and mar riages, purity for purity, sobriety for sobrie ty, honor lor honor. There is no reason why the young men of this land could not be just as virtuous as its young women, and, if the loss of your society be the price they are forced to pay for nee, they will not pay it. This is plain, sensible talk, and just such aa ought to be heeded by all our boys and girls, till the much needed reformation is fully established. Too much of the happi sees or misery of our children depends on this for it to pass without producing deep re i flection and action in the matter in the right -direction. The author of "The Old Norse Mirror of 3asn and Manners" says: A polite man skills well in addressing omen, whether young or more advanced years, to use such words as are suitable to ir condition and ase befitting alike for va to bear and him to speak. Lord Chesld, with a cynical humor, recommends . n outwardly to pay them great court - eierence, on account ot the power they btedly wield in society; but inwardly them in supreme contempt The ans generally treated their females -tesy and respect; but then they redience, and obedience they would hy rougher modes than that by mchio tamed Katharine.

rude taunts about the flight of bis country men; upon which the learned editor of the

"Wars of the uaeUhiiL." etc, sarcastically remarks: "Such was the refinement of Scandinavian court manners at tbat time in Dubin." The provocation, however, was intol erable, and beyond the endurance of Norse flesh ana blood. They had no Trollope to counsel them: "When a wonfan flings, fly I" There is more to be learned about pouring out tea and coffee than most ladies are will ing to believe. If those decoction are made at the table, which is by far the best way, they require experience. Judgment and exactness; if they are brought on the table ready made, it still requires judgment so to apportion them that they shall prove sufficient in quantity for the family party, and that the elder members shall have the strong er cups. Often persons. pour out tea who, not being at all aware that the first cup is the weakest and tbat the tea grows stronger as you proceed, bestow the poorest cup upon tne greatest stranger ana gve tne strongest o a very young member of the lamuy who would have been better without any. Where several cups of equal strength are wanted you should pour a little into each, and then go back, inverting the order as yon fill them up, and then the strength will be apportioned properly. This is so well un derstood in England that an experienced pourer of tea waits till the cups of the company are returned to her before she fills any a second time, that all may share alike. You should learn every one's taste in the matter of sugar and cream, too,' in order to suit them in that respect. .Delicacy and neatness may be shown in the manner or handling and rinsing the cups, of helping petsons to sug-.tr, aud using the cream pot without letting the cream run down from the lip. There are a thousand little niceties which will occur to you if you give due at tention to the business, and resolve to do it with the thrift of a good housekeeper and the ease and dignity of a refined lady. When you have once acquired good habits in this department it will require less attention, and you will always do it in the best way without thinking much about it A very happy match once grew out of the admiration "felt by a gentleman on seeing a young lady preside well at the tea table. Her graceful and dexterous movements there first fixed his attention upon her and led to a further acquaintance. Housekeeper. Scene A store.

HOOSL1UIIT MAM t.U VERM. Housetop Antic of a Ort reit Komnanabnllat. Detroit Free Prew.J One of the most remarkable exhibitions of pomnambulism ever given in this city took place about 1 o'clock Saturday morning near the c orner of High and 8ixth streets. The principal actor in this seriocomic 'drama was an eighteen year old miss named Annie Barton, and she was first discovered by C. W. Hedges. He was on his way home when his aU ntion was attracted by a queer looking object seated upon the top of a grapevine arbor just over the fence. Stopping. Mr. Hedges looked at the figure until he saw it move, when he spoke to it, but received ho answer. At this juncture, Captain C. C. Starkweather, of th-s Trumoull avenue police station, came along Sixth street on his way borne. He was stopped by Mr. Hedges, who pointed out the queer figure, and they were not long in doubt as to the nature of the apparition. "It's a woman," said Captain Starkweather, and "She must be asleep," continued Mr. Hedges. Arriving at that conclusion the men opened the gate, and, walking to the arbor, called to the sleeping girl, but received no repl . . Capt Starkweather then began climbing up the arbor, at which the girl started on a lively run. and going the whole length of the arbor roof, made a jump, clearing a space of about eight feet, and alighting upon the roof of a woodshed. This maneuver astonished the men, who awakened Mr. Thompson and his family and told them there was a sleep-walker upon their vroodshed. Soon Mr. Thompson, his wife and son Joined Mr. Hedges and the captain in the chase. What was their surprise to find that Miss Barton had clambered from the shed to the wing, and thence to the apex of the roof to the main building, where she stood quietly leaning against the chimney. Finally a ladder was procured and young Thompson climbed to tne side of the root, but, getting there, found it so covered with snow and ice that it was impossible for him to reach the girL So down he came, and the ladder was carried to the front of the house, where it was put in position with one end aeainst the roof peak. This time Captain Starkweather took off his boots and climbed up. The girl stood quietly nntil he was within a few feet of her, when she ran toward the wing, and Bliding went from one roof to the other; thence she jumped back to the grape arbor, and before any of the men could get to her, jumped to the ground and, dashing through the back gate, ran up High street The chase was continued to the Crawford street park, where she was captured. Then it was found that she wascompletely dressed, with the exception of a hat and shawl, and that during all oi her hazardous midnight ramble had not receceived the slightest injury. 8he was taken to the Trumbull avenue police station until her relatives, being notified, put in an appearance and took her in charge. This is the second escapade, her friends assert, of the kind in which Miss Barton has taken part ' There are 48 paupers in the Knox county poor asylum. - .. . .

II la SUII a Boy at Mxty-Elght and Ready te Play at Navigation. Interview with Dick Thompson In Cincin nati ixmmerciai. Suddenly dropping his voice and speakicg more seriously, be continued: I can not convince myself that I am an old man. I feel like a boy. I do Just as much work as ever, am jusi as vigorous and elastic, I can gallop a mile from the farm in fifteen or twenty minutes and jiimpoff my horse just as I did thirty years ago. I lived here in the ague valley thirty years before I ever had a symptom of a shake. There is not a taint of disease about me. I eat ind sleep and work and enjoy things Just as I did long before you were born, and yet I shall be 68 years old next June. The Commercial always calls rae old Dick Thompson, but I do not feel any older than I did when in 1829 I rode horseback with my father from Culpepper court house to Washington, to see Andrew Jackson inaugurated, and put up at the old Indian Qu-en tavern, kept by the Brown brothers. I was 20 years old then." I was studying the secretary's face carefully. It is an exceedingly handsome face. The forehead is bold ai4 broad, and the snowy hair is brushed back from it something after the old Ja ksonian style. The eyebrows are dark, and overhang a pair of wonderfully bright, expressive eyes. The dark brows give form and character to the face, and the clear, kind eyes are active, observing everything, full of good humor, ready to twinkle with fun or moisten with pity or grief, y'et ' betraying the ' keen, shrewd intellect the sharp perceptive powers, the strong, well balanced mind, the ever busy, willing brain, that have placed the owner in the front rank of lawyers and politicians. And yet, notwithstanding their brightness and rebtless ne.ss and cognizance of everything, they are open and honest eyes, that challenge confidence. The face is clean t.haven, and though bearing the marks of age and care and thought, it contains not line that is hard or disagreeable. It is a fine face, sunny and smiling, and, in spite of the wrinkles, as fresh and fair ' as the face of a boy. The jaws show will power and determination; the mouth is mobile and expressive, and upon the lip gravity and good humor seem ever strangling for the precedence. He is very neatly drvtwed in a broadcloth suit of modern cut wears shiny silk hat and regular standing dickey collar and black cravat of the old school. He Mnokes incessantly. Indeed it is hardly possible to catch him awake without a cigar in his mouth, which cigars he has made expressly for himself. HATUi'N PLANS. He trill Try to Cajole tbe South With an Empty Compromise. Washington Dispatch. If action can be deferred in tbe committee and, better still, in the senate, Hayes will be free to take a passive policv, in hope that the Fackird government will disappear without bloodshed or not a contingency of which he and his advisers are seriously apprehensive. This course of action brings two venous disappointments to tbe southern democrats, who guilelessly accepted Hayes & pledges of immediate justice for Louisiana. It involves delay until alter the adjournment of the senate, which cannot be beiore the eud of this week, and perhaps not until a week later. It may also involve the appointment of a commission, extra official. selected by the president, after Grant's fa miliar model, charged with tbe duty of di viding the offices of the several state governments. The project for such a commission hs been mated to-day, and excites serious alarm among Nicholls's friends. Vice President Wheeler is suggested as the head of such a commission, and two or three members of each party will be sent south with them, buch a course is consul e red "by Louisiana democracts as a practical evasion of tbe pledges in Hayes's inaugural, and as affording a method under which the rights of the state can be bartered, its repre sentation in congress impaired, and its state government established upon the basis of a compromise as abortive as tbat to which W heeler lent his name two years ago. In spite of the strong opposition which'is being made, it appears to be in creasingly provable tbat some such course will be taken. Kellogg has nearly given up the hope of admission to the senate during this session, in spite of Morton s intention to press him. An additional obstacle in his path arises from tbe tact that a caucus ot .the Nicholls legislature will meet to-morrow afternoon and select a candidate who will be elected by that body for the same term to which Kellogg was sent by the Packard legislature. THE ABDUCTED WIFE. The Spouse of a Reformed Priest Stolen ana Sent Back by Her Brother. iCtneinnatl Commercial. In the Commercial's account, yesterday, of the mysterious disappearance of the late Rev. Father Homan'a wife, and the suppo sition that she had, contrary to her will, been forcibly carried away and secreted by her friends, to cause a separation, it was stated that Hornau intended making a de mand for the return of his wife, and, if she was not forthcoming, taking such measures as would cause the arrest of certain parties on the charge of her abduction. Yesterday Mrs. Robertson, the sister of Mrs. Homan, called on Mr. Homan's mother and others, to ascertain the where abouts of the missing woman. It was learned that she was at the Convent of the Good Shepherd, on Bank and Baymiller streets. Mrs. Robertson repaired thither. and while in the building her brother, who had taken her sister away on last Sunday, called with a carriage, and drove Mrs. Heman to the house of Mrs. Robertson, No 409 Baymiller street, and left her there. This was at 12 o'clock on yesterday. Mrs. Homan was last evening suffering intensely from nervous excitement and prostration. on account of rough treatment received, and was considered in a critical condition Physicians were attending and administer ing proper stimulants for the purpose of restoring ber. The younger brother, who entited her away on Sunday fr mi the bouse at which she was stopping in Covington, bad a close carriage waiting conveniently near, into 1. i :J T .i . a , wuicu it is aaiu ue urgently uresaeu ner. when she refused to enter it of her own ac cord.

After disposing of Lis sister, be returned with a carriage, in com pany with Homan's mother and cousin, for the purpose of getting Homan himself into a convent. Mr. Hornau did not fall in with the idea, and positively refused to leave the house. 1 1 is said tbat the action of tbe younger brother resulted from a consultation held with an older brother, who lives in this city. It is also mentioned that while Mrs. Homan was at the convent it was re pre sen tad to her tbat ber husband had left her forever, and she was advised to think of him no more, This bad such a wonderful influence on her as to produce tbe dangerous condition of ex citement ntder which the woman u now

that while at the convent she was atteaded b? tbe Rev. Father Driscoll, of St Xavier church. v ' 1 he Clan of Cameron. Washington Dispatch. Simon Cameron has abdicated the senatorship in favor of his son Don. His resigna tion is already in the hands of uovernor Hartranft. of Pennsylvania, and Don is on the ground at Harrisburg watching the legislature which is to bestow the succession on him. As the present Pennsylvania legislature is emphatically a Cameron machine, there is little doubt that Don will be author ised to step into his father's shoes. This unexpected movement of Cameron here is the gossip of tbe town to-day. Various causes are assigned for tbe step. It is known that Simon is still unreconciled to Hayes, and has not called on him since Hayes re fused to retain Don in tbe cabinet The most probable cause is Simon's anxiety to keep his son in public life, coupled with the knowledge that his own hold on human life is uncertain. Simon's term has two years to run. If Don gets into the senate now. Simon will probably live long enough to fix the legislature which will elect Don s suc cessor, so that it will elect Don to succeed hinieelf. This would perpetuate the political power of the Cameron family eight years at least, and insure the existence of one thorn to pierce the side of Hayes's administration. KICIIHON 'RIT1SGS. Th Seatiors t'arrmpondeat Furnishes Some Sprightly Small Talk. Correspondence of the Sunday Sentinel. RicHMo.ND, Ind., March 17. The candidates for the various city offices are doing considerable work in a quiet way though the camptign has not fairly opened. The aspirants for the mayoral ty who have thus far announced themselves are Messrs. Thomas McGirr. E. D. Palmer and General Tom Bennett At this stage of the game Mr. Mcuirr is ahead, and it is confidently expected by his friends that he will win the race. Tbe board of county commissioners have been in session during the week, and have made various allowances. which were particularly acceptable to those holding claims. The most important of their official acts, however is the order to build an addition to the south of the present court house for the better accommodation of the clerk and recorder on the first floor, and to furnish a room above for holding the superior court A largely attended donation party was held at the residence of James . Reeves. Ksq , on Monday evening, for tbe benefit of tbe children in the orphan home. The contributions, consisting of dry goods, provisions and money, were sufficient to gladden the hearts of these little ones for some time to come. This institution, which is well cared for by the ladies having it in cbaree.is a star in the crown of Richmond as it affords a comfortable home to many of God's little ones. ' Our quiet little neighbor, Centerville, is again in trouble, Cambridge City being disposed to wrest from her her last treasure, the organ factory. We have not forgotten with what reluctance she relinquished the county seat and resigned to us the new court house, (but then, the V ayne county bar had really grown too large 'for the old home stead,) but her silent grief in this case, as, with the look of a crushed and fallen Cajar, too deeply wounded for retaliation or defense, she utters a quiet "Et tu Brütet' that would touch the heart of a less ambitious Brutus than Cambridge City. T ie chief object of local interest is the new superior court, which was organized Mondav morning in the circuit, courtroom, tbe oath of office being then administered to Colonel William A. Bickle and the members of the bar. Judge Bickle, requesting the board of county commissioners to "provide a place for holding said court, and having arranged a few other preliminaries, the court was adjourned until Mondy morning next There has been considerable feeling manifested with regard to this new honor, some claim ing that, there was not a "fair count" in the matter, and that the people were not sufficiently consulted with regard to Its establishment. they being disposed to regard it as a clear bqa t "tivotmn writtij-kll Nnrsutnt.linn " We are not disposed to go behind the re turns, however. We'have the court and it is without doubt a superior article; tne price attached ($10.000) is, we admit, rather high for tbe times, but then there is no shoddy about Wayne county, and she will doubtless promptly pay said price and wear her new ornament with qu'.et dignity and grace. Fox drives stil prevail in the surrounding country and the good people of this vicinity are fast rivaling tbe English in their love of the chase. The Abington chase Saturday morning last was brought to a speedy term i nation by a serious accident happeniag through the mismanagement of the signal cannon. To prevent delay the gun had been loaded the evening previous and "tamped with clay; the tamping having frozen during the night, ana of course become perfectly solid, when Park Hall and Isaac Hunt, the artilerymen for the day, attempted to fire it, the gun ex ploded. bursting into a dozen fragments, some of which were thrown a distance ot a quarter of a mile. Hunt was struck by a fragment and seriously Injured, while liale escaped unhurt Hunt's injuries are not newessarily fatal, and he is at present doing very well. Our neighbors of Boston had made extensive preparations for an extensive chase on the same day. which was success fully carried out without a casualty, but a complete description of the exciting drive would necessitate too much of a trespass on your space, however much we may incline to review the day's sport. Suffice it to say. with Uncle Levi Druley, the acknowledged Nimrod of Boston township, as commander-in-chief, with a force of 600 men to back him, cheered by the music of some half dozen martial bands, was in every respect satisfactory to those engaged. Connersvllle Politics. I Special Correspondence of the Sentinel .1 Coknkrsvillk, March 14. Several changes having recently been made in this little city, and more about to be made, perhaps refer ence to the matter may not prove wholly uninteresting to the many readers of your most valuable and interesting newspaper. In the first place, then, Connersville is with out a mayor, his honor Mayor lrusier hav ing resigned the mayoralty and betaken him self to his farm, which is situated about nine miles southeast of here.

The best wishes of nur citizens, without resnect to nartv. accom panv him to his rural retreat. W. C. Forrey, who has twice served as mayor, to tbe entire satisfaction of all parties, is urged as his suc cessor. E. J. Smith, an attorney and prospective candidate for congress, and John W. Fuss, a disciple of Faust, started to Cincinnati today (Wednesday) for the purpose of buying the material for a new paper in this place The paper, i t is understood, will be a twenty four column sheet with a ready p-int out side. Politically it is to be democratic, but devoted mainly to the interests of the pro prietors.' 1 '

We see in the 8entinel of Wednesday that a communication was received at the Senti nel office, which claimed that we had done the Rev. M. A. Teague injustice in our letter of two weeks ago. It was unintentional on our part, for we Hke Mr. Teague very much, and would nöTknowingly do him injustice. On the contrary, we can say that he is a true Christian gentleman, an excellent pastor, a worker in the church, a man of fine feeling, and one that will make friends wherever he eoes. Mr. Teague has been tbe pastor of the Methodist church tor the past two years hnd has conducted his pasterate so as to give sat isfaction to all.
