WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25.

For the Sentinel. . IN MEMOET. BY WALT 8. HARBISON. On the death of Mrs. Sarah Thorpe, May 81, 1879. Mother, thou In peace art resting Calm and still; Sweetly sleeping death's long sleep - At His -will; He who gave His life to save us, He who loves ns, He who blest, Has seen fit to take yon, mother. To receive the promised rest. All Is o'er on earth forever, All Is done; Thine eyes will open In that home Beyond the snn, Where the Savior and our loved ones Who have died and gone before Walt with happy hearts to meet you, With a welcome evermore. Hearts that loved by death must sever For a time. And we deeply feel the parting of our hearts From thine. But, dear mother, we will meet you "When we cross the river's tide, Meet to part no more forever On that bright and bettJr side. Thou hast borne the cross to help Him; He will love and care, He will take you home and bless you, He will crown you there; For no clouds of sorrow, mother, Cast their shadows on that shore, Where life's river flows foreverThere is rest -fore vermore. THE STAGE AND STAGE PEOPLE. "Eloise et Abelard," Gounod's new opera, is nearly completed. Louise Pomeroy and W. H. Leake will star together next season. They say that Sothern took the Juke of Beaufort along to dig the worms. The Yolks family have brought out in London a new musical comedy called "The Daughter of the Regiment." Miss Mary Anderson has bought a house in Syracuse, and the Courier of that city Bays that she -is thinking of making it her borne. Miss Taylor, daughter of Bayard Taylor, has made a translation of "Masks and Faces," which has been produced with success uponthe German stage in Berlin. Since Sarah Bernhardt is said to wear in "Ruy Bias" a dress that cost $1,400, Joe Jefferson has consented to buy a new pair of pantaloons for the latter part of "Kip Van Winkle." Private dispatches from San Francisco indicate that Mr. Lester Wallack has met with an unusually hearty reception, and one that is thoroughly gratifying to tbe veteran actor and manager. The following paragraph, from a London journal, is dated June 7: "The last nights of Miss Neilson are now announced at the Adelphi. as the lady requires a rest before she starts to undertake her fareweil tour with Mr. Mas Strakosch in the United States." Mr. Robert E. J. Miles, the Cincinnati theatrical manager, thinks it is a financial detriment to an actress to marry. "I told Alice Oates," he said, in speaking of the Oa tea-Laurent case, "that three-fourths of her draft' in the West, where she was strongest, was among the young men, and if she was married they would not care a rap to see her." At Wallack'sNew York theater the success of Miss Ada Cavendish in "Miss Gwilt," so late in the season, is unprecedented. It is due to tbe strength of the play, admirable actineand tbe strong realistic effects in which one may study the possibilities of a woman's nature when her morals give way under the growing presence of a crime which one fatal step has made necessary. During a recent performance of "It's Never Too Late to Mend," at the Theater Royal, Brighton, England, in the scene where "Meadows" endeavors to screen him self from the charge of robbing "George Fielding," a lad in the gallery, fearful that Meadows would escape, cried out at me top of his voice: "Yah, go along; I seed him." The audience was convulsed with laughter over this episode. A story concerning the late Mrs. Howard Paul is related by the Dramatic News. Once in London, when there was a large take. Sims Reeves, who was the hero of the hour, sent word that he was indisposed. The manager knew this meant the return of the money. Mrs. Howard Irani was one ot the singers, and at a moment's notice she went on for Mr. Reeves, and imitated his voice and manner so correctly that no one knew the difference. The performances by the Comedle Fran caise company at the Gaiety, London, have created the most profound interest. On the night of the 4lh inst, "L'Etrange" was produced,with Sarah Bernhardt as "Mrs. Clarkson." "Hatred, passion, contempt scorn, cruelty, cynicism and revenge are here arranged as if they were the strings ot a won' derful instrument, and from them Sarah Bernhardt produces most marvellous music that sways the audience with attention and wonder." , The old nonsense about the inconsistency of permitting "La Traviata" and not permit ting ''La Dame auz Cameliaa"has reappeared lately. The fair test is to take a modest girl to see tne f Tencn pi ay ana to take her to see the Italian opera. The one will disgust her, the other will simply charm her with - the music, and perhaps affect her by the death of tbe jilted girl. Take out the scenes of manners from the original play, leaving the sentimentality, and put all the characters into fancy dresses and make them sing, and . the original unwholeaomenessof the glorified loreite disappears. FREAKS OF FASHION. The parasol of Japanese shape is blue, with a unmg oi goia silk. New parasols have wide borders like the gay bandana handkerchiefs. Handsome silk embroidery on tulle, in colors ana all white, is a novelty. An effective model for a promenade dress in louiara silk is ot dark plum and chamois colors. A beautiful promenade 'costume for half mourning is of black and white polka-dotted and rekin foulard. . Handsome fans are of painted silk, mount ed on ivory, with a humming bird on its neat set on the outside stick. Ladies carry small silk-velvet reticule purses, mounted in solid silver, and erabel lished With tbe owner monogram. t ans of brocade silk and Pekin are made to order to match costumes. They are mounted on ebony, violet wood and bone. Japanese fans of small size and very fine quality are embellished with fish, Guinea pigs, rabbits, and tbe impossible birds and other creatures of Mongolian fancy. Most people cr ignorant of the fact that the fig-leaf was merely Ere'i summer costume. In the winter she wore a big palm-

leaf, bouffante, with scallc pe 1 edges and cut bias. i -

A fanciful vest for black silks and for grenadines is made of black lace laid over white or colored silk, either cream, genuarme blue, narcisse yellow, salmon, or very pale Nile green. Embroidered satin vests are imported tor the richest silks and grenadines and for satin dresses. They are usually in contrast to the color of the dress, even black dresses having very gay vesta. It is said that the prettiest bonnet worn at the opening of the Paris Salon was a Diana Vernon, with a low crown and wide brim, and trimmed with well curled black feathers and an ornament of peacock-green looping up the brim at the side. Dotted and sprigged muslin costumes are among tbe most popular of present consideration. They are' made short, and en demitrain, and trimmed with very sheer Hamburg embroidered insertion and edging, Torchon and Bre tonne laces. . One of tbe handsomest costumes worn during the soring is of gendarme blue camel'shair with silk of the same shade, and Scotch plaid satin in which a great deal of old gold enters. The' camel s-uair waist is rouna, with standing collar, plastron, revere, and wide belt of the plaid satin, and to this belt is attached a flat bag, also of satin. Tbe fancy for draping the fullness of over skirts very high is bringing round waists into prominence again, as tbe tails of basoues conceal such drapery. As yet tbey are not very generally worn, though some of the newest t rencb dresses made lor ladies who have very long waists dispense with basques entirely, and have merely a broad belt all around. Bunting balmorals are found light and pleasant for summer wear. They are shown in cream white, pale gray, light and dirk blue shades, trimmed with one, two or three rows of knife-plaiting. The plaitmgs make them thick enough at the bottom. while the upper parts are quite transparent. Some of the most expensive skirts have bias Eatin stitched around them. There are so many pretty suggestions given for tbe wearing of lace shawls it seems impossible to make a selection. All of the ideas advanced in this department of dress are replete with artistic effects. Perhaps the jaunty mods of carrying the front ends back over the hips to the panier will suit the young ladies, and the style of looping the ends like fichu wraps- will be adopted by ladies of maturer years. - In general, tbe costumes for morning wear. for traveling and for the seaside, assume a more and more masculine appearance. The jackets open over vests, the latter call to their aid the jatot, and finish with the cravat. Attired in one of these three cos tumes, ladies look as if ready to mount on horseback. The hand only lacks the whip, and seems mortified at being obliged to hold an umbrella or parasol instead. As to vests, itmavaswell be said that they are worn with all dresses, inasmuch as the morniDg and traveling costumes have their vests. quite as well as full toilets for dinners, re ceptions and balls. People who like black dres3es and they are numerous have this season adopted the Spanish dress, i or the chateaux and sea side cottages the summer wardrobe is not complete without a Spanish toilet. This is made of black faille, entirely covered with very transparent black barege, or even black crape. The entire front Is covered with rows of wide black lace, which are finished on each side with a bow, with long banging loops, made of narrow pink satin ribbon. iidch bow is fastened with a roeette of black jet, with two tassels of uneven length to match. The long train in the back ( this toilet is never made short) is draped by means of a-single laige bow of white pink satin ribbon. The corsage, cut square in the neck, and the elbow sleeves, are trimmed with pink bows and jet. In guise of a coiffure a small net of jet, with a large rose placed above the ear. Parole's Rider. The London World thus sketches Fred Archer, the jockey who has ridden Parole to so many victories: "As he enters, dressed in a suit of dark clothes, relieved only by the chain which holds the magnificent watch presented to him by Mr. Dawsan when he was. 'out of his time,' with his overcoat thrown back and bis billy cock hat held in his left hand, Fred Archer might easily be taken for the rising young clerk in a thriving bank, dropped in to take his chief 's orders on some important business. Success appears to have steadied rather than unsettled bim.and nothing is more pleasant than to witness the deferential air of the most successful jockey of tbe day toward his former master and present friend and part employer. That it. may not be thought that Fred Archer's quiet and modest demeanor is dwelt on overmuch, it may be well to mention that his present income, entirely his own. as he is out of his apprenticeship four or five years, is about as great as that of a queen's counsel in mid-career; of a special surgeon; of any royal academician, bating perhaps five, and almost half as great as that of an Italian tenor singer. It is quickly earned, without long delays, expectations and disappointments, for when be is put in charge it is not iong before the event Is decided. His great causes depend on the application within the space of a minute of bin nice judgment of pace; his successful operations on the display of consummate nerve and courage in tearing down a perjjous declivity, or in hugging the rails at an awkward turn; his great pictures are dashed in with a single stroke, as when he drove Jannette through the leading pair at Doncaster; bis sensational effect when be brings a despised outsider like Chambert to the front and makes mince meat of his field. A very large income, the unbounded confidence of his employers and of the public, might help to turn many beads just arrived at legal manhood, but Fred Archer quietly goes his own way and studies diligently to improve in his calling." S i No Hiding; in Paris. Paris Letter In Ban Francisco Chronicle. J The population, permanent or floating, of every arrondusement or ward to Paris is counted officially every month. Be your aooae at notel, boarding house or private residence, within 43 hours you are requested to sign airegister, giving your name, age, occupation and former residence. This, within the period mentioned, is copied by an official ever traveling from house to house wun nis Dig nine book undsr his arm. The register gives, also, the leading characteristics of yonr personal appearance. Penalty atiacnes liseii to the host or landlord who tails to get and give to tbe official such registration of his guests. There are no un marked skulking boles in Paris. Every house every room is known; and tinder ponce surveillance. .Every stranger is known and described at police headquarters within a few days of his arrival. Oace within the walls of Paris, and historically, so to speak. your identity is always there. In case of injury to any person, the sufferer is not de pendent on tbe nearest drug store for a tern' porary Hospital, as with us. In every arrondissement may be seen the sign, "Assistance to the Wounded or the Aspbyxi ated or Poisoned." Above always bangs tne omciai tricolor. 1 say "official" because a certain slender prolongation of the fljg' staff denotes that the establishment is under Governmert supervision, and no private party can adopt this fashion. The French flag is not flung bienletv-bieeietv to the breeze like the stars and stripes, so that none can determine whether it indicates a United States Government station or a beer ' saloon. We eoule not attend the emperor of Ger many's golden wedding. In view of the recent death of our relative, Rothschild, it woman-1 nave been just tbe thing.

HIS LAST HAND.

The Death, of an Old River Gambler. A Little of tbe Exciting History of John "Watts, Who Used to Travel on the ' Mississippi Kiver Steamboats in Ante-Belluin Days, Play- . , , lug Poker from New . . . -Orleans to Louisville. Philadelphia Times. Old John Watts was a gambler by nature. He would bet on everything, and last Thursday, when he died in his little room on Tenth street, the last words he uttered were: I bet you I get well." There were no takers, for his son, a respected and able physician practicing in New Jersey, stood by the bedside and watched over the dying man only to alleviate the pains of death, not with any hope of saving a life. Tbey carried Watts out to Mount Moriah yesterday, and the humble little furneral cortege that paid the last tokens of respect to the gambler's memory passed out of the gate of the cemetery as the long line of mourners that came to bury Major Magnire filed In ostentatious hundreds up the road from tbe railroad station. Watts was not known much Philadelphia, but more than a score of years ago his face was much seen on the Western river steamboats, and hia name was as well known as any man's in the Mississippi valley. He was the,, typical river gamoler. Elegant of address, unexcitable, calculating, skilled at cards and willing to bet on anything in the world, he lacked nothing that could distinguish him in his calling. A RIVER GAMBLER. He was one of the men who traveled on the lower Mississippi in ante-bellum days, when the entire long cabins of steamers were given up to card parties, poker tbeir game, and the stakes thousands. It was in those days that the pistol and bowie-knife often came in as referee in discussions over the game, but that occurred only when somebody did a mean thing with an ace or filled a pair by stealing a card, or doing some such little pleasantry in a wajr so shamefully bold and unskilful that detection could not help but ensue. Watts would not do that, it is said. He played fair arid demanded fair play or fight. That these encounters were not of unfrequent occurrence with him two bullets-boles in his cheek, others in his body and knife wounds of greater or less dimension all over him gave testimony. For many years he traveled on the New Orleans. St. Louis and Louisville line of boats. His peculiarity of traveling was that he always made tbe full trip; for instance, if bound to St Louis on one steamer, if there was no play, or if luck, went against him he would not drop off at Memphis, Visksburg or Cairo and try a new lay. He was always the best dressed man on the river. CLOTHES FROM EEGEXT 8TREET. His jewelry was unostentatious and his clothes of the latest fashion. He had his measure at Bell's, in London, and that Regent street artist supplied him. A swell tailor In New Orleans once solicited Watts for an order, and importuned him so that he finally gave it. Watts wore the clothes for some time, and talked much and in terms of high praise of them, but refused to pay the bill when presented. By this means he found himself a defendant in a suit of law, but, setting up the plea that in condescending to wear the clothes he rendered the tailor full value by adding to the reputation of the maker. He thus won bis case. Although Watts professed to be a man of honor although a gambler be was by no means of the very best morals, and he did not object to take advantage of his fellow man in this way. For instance: With his friend and accomplice he would board the boat at Louisville, and, scanning tbe passen ger list, pick out out for his victims some old card-players of wealth with whom he was personally acquainted. To these people he would go very quietly, and say of bis own accomplice: 'There Is a man who plays high, and we can beat him; you join with me, and we'll do it." The victim agrees, the party is made up, but Watts always succeeded in regulating success the wrong way for his victim, and thus tbe would-be biter was often bitten. $5,000 AND A LIFE. Oue time he was accused of swindling in that way, the charge being made in the beat of play by a man irom wnom watts accora plice had just won $10,000. . "Is that your opinion?" He quietly asked. "Yes, sir; that's what I think," roared tbe loser; "you swindled me, Jand I stigmatize you as a scoundrel." The hour was late, and only the watchman and the party engaged in playing heard the cbarje, but all of tbem drew back and held their breath, for they were sure Jack would take a life to wipe out tbe insult It is said that he has done that thing. "I will give you $5,000 right here if you will not make that opinion any further public," said Watts, drawing forth his pocket-book. "No, sir; I do not want the money; you can not buy my silence with money." Then Watts smiled in his wicked way and held a pistol in one hand and the money in the other, and said quietly, as before: "My friend.for the 'Uppr. srion of your opinion 1 offered you $5,000. You refused. Jiowl offer you that amount of money and your life. Do you accept?" Tbe man looked into Jack's cold, steel gray eye and what he read there was convincing. He took the money and his life and kept silent. POOR TOM B0WL1HG. Many stories are told of old Watts which are not traceable to any good foundation like this one, but here is one he delighted in telling, and for which he vouched for the truth: "I was always an ardent race course better, and I followed tbe Kentucky stables for many a season. My last racing was the season McGrath's great race horse Tom Bowling broke down. 1 was breaking np myself then. We were in Saratoga, and Barron, the negro minstrel singer, came into Morrissey's club house one night with a party, and somebody proposed that he give us a song. John Matthews, the actor, was with him and urged Barron to go ahead. He acceded and sat down to the piano.' The boys turned around from their game, and then Barron, striking a few chords, without other prelude struck up: , Here a sheer hulk lies poor Tom Bowling, The darling of our crew. 'He sang it through with feeling and expression, and I looked down on my cards, and, by Jove, there was a tear right on the ace. Just then in bursts McGrath. He caught Barron by tbe hand and pressed it fervently, trying to say 'thank you,' but he couldn't. All tnat be could ejaculate as be went out ot tbe door with his eyes full of tears was 'two baskets of wine.' It was not until we were well into the second basket that we lost our impressions of the moat pathetic scene one that moved more sporting men's hearts to pity than I ever witnessed in a gambling house." i THE GREAT STkAMBOAT BACK. All relations concur that the great steamboat race between the R. E Lee and tbe Natchei from New Orleans to St Louis broke old John Watts' heart, depleted his purse, and even unsettled his mind. He staked every dollar he had, some $20 000 it is said, on the Natch i and lost it He took a state room on board of his favorite to make the trip and to tee the race, but be never occu

pid it Night and day for the five days and odd hours tbe race lasted he stood on the

upper deck leaning over the rail, lust where he wanted tbe champion trophy placed when the Lee had shown that she was only the second best boat on tbe river, watching tbe contest of leviathans. When the Natchez fell back and the Lee swept by and passed on so far ahead that there was no longer any hope, old Jobn for he had come to be known as old stamped, raved and swore, and finally rushed down to the barroom and took the nrst drink of liquor that ever passed bis lips. He paid up his losses and came East and took up racing as a betting event In his early life he married a young Ohio girl, whose heart it said was broken when she dis covered his.vocation. She died shortly after ward, leaving him one son, whose education was carefully cared for. The schools of Europe contributed to his learning and tbe old man stopped at no expense in advancing his son's welfare and position. The boy was not ungrateful, for when age and adversity had brought the old gambler to the threshold of want his son came forward and cared for him lovingly and tenderly. For nearly a year the old man has been in Philadelphia receiving treatment from a great specialist m nervous affections. -The old gambler preserved till the day of his death the pack of cards with which he first learned to play poker and all -lours. They were worn dirty, but he would have no others, and it was with many a game of solitaire with these old cards the paralytic old gambler solaced the last days of his life. He was 74 years of age, and be used to say he was tbe first white child born west of tbe Mississippi. VOORHEES ON BLAINE. "Blaine Overwhelmed." Mr. Voorbees' speech on Wednesday in the Senate was an exceedingly able effort The New York World characterized it a? the brightest effort that be has so far made in the Senate, while the Sun says it literally overwhelmed Mr. Blaine, to whom large portions of It he addressed. The special dispatch to the Sun says: The culminating point in the debate came in a speech from Mr. Voorhees of remarkable power. He excoriated Mr. Blaine for bis aspersion of an Indiana regiment, and contrasted tbe record of Indiana and the Northwest with New England in the Mexican war, putting the latter in the most odious light. He taunted Mr. Blaine with the fact that Maine had no troops at Buena Vista. Mr. Voorheea's references to Mr. Blaine were so severe that tbe attention of the whole chamber was at once arrested. Mr. Blaine was so bard pressed by Mr. Voorhees' averments that be incautiously demanded "Where was Franklin Pierce?" a call which Mr. Voornees utilized with ready effect. Mr. Voorbees next passed to tne use of the military In Indiana In the war to control elections, and thence to Mr. Conkling's charge of the presence of Confederate brigadiers In the Senate. Mr. Voorhees took op New York and other States having Republican senators, to show that tbey bud many opportunities to reward soldiers by sending tbeiu to the Senate, but had preferred the politicians. Mr. Voorhees closed with a long and striking list of ex-Confederate officers appointed to oonspicuous positions after joining the Republican party. The list entDmceu AKerman, urants attorney general: Key, Mosby, Longstreet, Judge Hughes, James L. Orr and others. He read with marked effect a passage from Oeneral Key in December. lS7t. saving that Hayes hud not been chosen president of the United States by the people. Mr. Hlalne was eager to reply to Mr. Voorhees, but be had been too bully damaged to come back with much force. He had been literally overwhelmed. The World's special says: The army bill came up, aud furnished an oc casion for two very strong political speeches r-y Senators Beck and Voorhees. Mr. Beck gave some testimony as to the uses to which troops nau Deen put in KeniucKy. lie maue a verv effective use of Mr. Garfield's BDwwBln the House, as Illustrating the differences in the Republican ranks ou the pending question. Mr. Voorhees' speech was the brightest effort be uas made in ine -senate, tsiaiue naa occu pled the llor some lime in one of his charnc tertstic effort, reading from the South' ern school-books of war days, and inviting attention generally to the gross wickedness the Democrats were guilty or in oast days. Mr. Voorhees began by lamenting that Mr. Blaine preferred to be a hyena rather than a lion, that ne sbould prefer to prey on the corruptions of the past rather than II ve aud act among the living principles of the present. Mr, Voorhees mud he Intended to unmatk what he called the hypocritical Pol ltlcs of the Republican party. He did not spare words in describing the hollowntss of the Republican professions of love for the Union soldier. He showed that of the loU employes of the Senate under the Republicans, only six had been wounded Union soldiers, and ail or these naa oeen retainea oy tne Democrats, in spite of the assertions of the Uhlo Republican plauorm. Sentimental and Tragic Flirts. Home Journal.! How'much mischief these sentimental flirts do in their day! They give you the impres sion that you and only you are the one sweet woman whose love Is needed for tbeir hap piness. Your touch can heal them, your smile rejoice, your love render blessed. You give into the fond illusion one of tbe most seductive to a true woman and cud that you are just taken as an experimental ist takes a cat or a dog for vivisection ; and tbat you are only one of many who have been so taken be lore you to illustrate tbat point of female credulity and woman soft hesrtedness which the flirt has set himself to learn by all the methods given to man. Or take the tragic flirt from tbe other side of tbe . house, .beautiful little wo man . with tbe big eyes and the melodious' voice who sings sad love songs as if she felt tbem, and ground whom melancholy clings as a graceful gar ment, how many men has she not captured and drowned in the unfathomable abyss of her vanity. She looks all sorrow, and her life has not a cloud ; she seems all sentiment and no nether mile-stone is harder, more prosaic; she gives you the impression of one seeking consolation, and the merriest little grig who dances all night in pink and rose buds is not more light of heart more free from care. She is a sham all throughout. and she attitudinizes she does not feel But clever men believe in her, and good ones fall down and worship her, ani she rides on the crest of the wave in the world's esteem, while her sister, who disdains false hood and coquetry alike, gets only scant ad miration, and her heart, which never de ceived human being, is disregarded as i common kind of thing, worth little love and less endeavor. What's in' a Name. fNew Haven Register.! The other day an Irishman, evidently not long rretident of this country, walked up to the ticket office in the Union Depot and said to Alderman States: "Give me a ticket tor Eislhampton." "Massachusetts or Connecticut?" asked the genial dispenser of pasteboards. "Naythur: I want a ticket to Easthampton." "I understand ; but there are Easthamptons in both this State and Massachusetts, explained Mr. State. "Bedad. an' is tbat so? Which one does it cost the most to go to?" asked the son of Erin's isle. . "Massachusetts." answered Mr. States. "Well, then, be the powers, I'll take the cheapest one." , . Tbe traveler was accommodated with a ticket to Eistharapton, Conn., and he got aboard the Air Line train apparently as happy as a clam at bigh water. Charles A. Frtema i. who wrecked passenger train on tbe Naw York Central railroad at Canandalgua . on the 9th Inst is evidently a dangerous lunatic or a danger ous criminal. He says be thought tbe cars were loaded with Kouiau Catholics, and tbat he had determined to exterminate every man, woman aud child of tbat religion. It is apparent tbat a man entertaining such sanguinary views in regard to a very large proportion of tbe human race ought to be kept under lock and key, sane or insane. - Wilkie Collins Is coming to this country. We shall receive blm kindly, of course, bat as an author of fiction he doesn't com pare with the Louisiana witness.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.

.- The School Boy. . -; We bought him a box for books and things, And bags for bis ball and hta bat; And be looked the brightest and best of kings Under his new straw haw - We handed him Into a railway train. With a troop of his young compeers. And we felt as though It were dust and rain Were filling our eyes with tears. We looked in his innocent face to see The sign of a sorrowful heart, Bat he only shouldered his bat with glee, And wondered when they would start. Twas not that he loved not as heretofore. For the boy was tender and kind ; But his was a world tbat was all before, As ours was a world behind. Twas not that his fluttering heart was celd, For the child was loyal and true; And tbe parents lose the love that is old, -luu uui cuuuren me love tnat is new. And we came to know that love is a flower, Which only groweth down; And we scarcely spoke for the space of an iiuur, As we drove back through the town. A Little Story Tbat Miss Clara Barton Told About One Little Family. Miss Clara Barton's address at Dansville on Decoration Day is published in full in the Syracuse Christian Advocate. In it she related the following pathetic story: "xiaving occasion to pass through the streets of a somewhat Western city during the winter of 1863 6, my attention was one day attracted by the figure of a singularlyattired, weird-looking little boy with a basket on his arm in front of a bakery. A soldier's cap and pantaloons, in which his his tiny form seemed nearly lost and the faded, light blue cape of a storm-beaten overcoat, with the once bright buttons still striving to adorn its tattered edge, reaching to nis knees, completed the umtorm of the shivering little hero. He stood perfectly motionless, ' ovidenly unconscious of any presence save tbe large,, warm, nut-brown loaves within the window. As I could not pass such a picture, I stopped and asked if he were hungry. 'Not very,' he said, hesitatingly. . 'Not very, but Annie is.' 'who is Annie? I asked. .My little Bister.' 'Have you no father and mother?' 'Father was killed at Chattanooga and ma's sick.' (His voice trembled a little. 'No brothers?' 1 asked. t'l had three brothers' (and bis little voice grew smaller and trem bled more), 'but tbey all went to tbe war. Willie was shot in the woods when they were all on fire (he meant the 'Wilderness,') 'and Charlie he s'arved to death at Anderson ville, and Jamie, he was next to me, and he went for a drummer boy and died in toe hospital. and then there was only m&itid I and Annie. Annie was a baby when they went awayand ma's grown sick T2 Annie is often hungry and cold, fory.can't always get enough for her. I fick up wood and chips, but ma doeln'tflike me to ask for victuals '.."ahe says it is a bad habit for liUloYv4 o learn. And the tears slid quietly dovu his child cheeks, wan and care worn. "I went home with him, far on the outskirts of tbe city, long beyond tbe reach of sidewalks, though al ternate Dost and mud. ' A cheerless room. And as we entered, a tbln, hectic woman partly rose from her bed to greet me. Her story was only a confirmation of what I bad heard. Her boys enlisted first and early, and the father, partly through dread of the draft, which he coHld not meet, followed tbem. As she talked on quietly and tear fully, baby Annie stole out of her hidingplace and was peering wisttuuy into the basket and the little military guardian drew up to my side with simple child-like confidence as he Bald; "That was Jamie 8 cap and cloak. They sent them home from the Hospital when he was dead., but tney could not send Jamie home.' 'Nor Willie, nor Charlie?' I said. 'No; nor papa; there's only ma and I and Annie, that's all.' And there are more than there will be long, poor child ; for already the pale messenger waits at the gate, and his weird shadow falletb ever nearer." A Mother's Influence. The late Thomas H. Benton, who was so long in public life and surrounded by temp tations, paid the following tribute to bis mother: "My mother asked me never to use any tobacco, and I never touched it Irom that time to the present day; she asked me not to game, and I have not. and I can not tell who is winning or who is losing in games that can be played. She admonished me, too, against bard drinking, and whatever capacity for endurance I may have at pres ent and whatever usefulness I may attain in life, I attribute it to having complied with her pious and correct wishes.
