Origin of a Fam Night Scene In Fr

From the New York Han.] Little Jimmie Wenn lives in Koseovelt street. He sells Suns in the morning, and G' bes in the afternoon. He is about the height of a hydrant. He has blue eyes and a little pinched-up, white face, which is always smutty. He wears his boots, like the great and good Horacc Greeley, with the top* (about the size of candle moulds) on the outside of his pants. A faded old red woollen comforter is wound about his neck, and a loose little coat, hardly big enough to wrap up a good-sized chub, hangs from his shoulders. lie wears a cap with a rim of motheaten fur, and with «ne ear-muff, which loosely swings over his left ear. The other ear muff has been lost. "How did you lose that ear flap, JiniiHy?' asked a Sun reporter, as the liiile urchin entered French's Hotel last evening. "A walkin'off on my ear," answered Jimmy, swinging around his left leg, and offering to sell an evening newspaper to a bystander. "How long have you been walking off on your car, Jimmy?" inquired the reporter. "More nor a year," answered the boy. "Twoyears, I guess," pulling the string i:f his solitary ear muff to his mou.h ami twisting it between his teeth

Two brokers and thirteen politicians had listened to the conversation. "I know that lad," said Mr. Ilenrv T. Godet, one of the brokers. "Here, sonnv, let us see you walk of on your ear." "Here, hold these papers," said litiie Jim, thrusting his bundle into the reporter's hands.

In an instant two tiny legs were raised in the air. The boy "balanced himself upon his little dirty palms. Then, pla cing his ear upon the marble floor, he slid across the room by the action of

and looked at the broker. Then r.vo dimples curled them elves into his thin little cheeks. "I seen 'im a good many time.-. He knows me, I guess. I diinno him though," said tiny Jim, again beginning to chew the siring of his ear in tiff. "Don't ywti remember," sai'd thebroker, "about eighteen months ago, when 1 took you into the Gold lioom, and vou went off on your ear?"

Are you the man?" said the little leilow, dropping the string of the ear muff from his mouth, whiie bis eyes sparkled like diamonds. "I bet I don't forget that time.^ Why, those fellers gin me mote nor §i lor goin' ofT on me ear. Thcv were the buiiiest fellers thai I ever sec.— An' helore I went off on me ear before those fellers I never heard any fellers a talkin' about goin' oil' on his ear but after I was a walkin' on me ear for those fellers I could hear every feller a talkin' about goin' off on his ear. If I hadn't walked off on me ear for those fellers, the fellers wot's all the time a talkin' about walkin' off on his ear wouldn't know wot a goin' off on his ear was."

Here little Jimmy Wenn made a hop, skip, and a jump, and settled himself down upon the steam pipes by the window. He began to count his coin. "The boy tells the truth," said Ilarrv Godet. "We lock him in the Board of Brokers about noon. Things were loose, and everybody laughed when the boywent through his performance. Every man who came in asked him what lie was doing and his invariable answer was: 'I'm goin' off on my ear.' The words took the ears of the Gold Board. The brokers retailed them, and before a month had passed everybody in the citywas talking about walking off on his ear."

The reporter then approached poor little Jim. The boy had counted his money, and was shoving it into his pocket. He smiled, and picked up his papers. "How much have you got?" inq lired the reporter. "Eighty-four cents," replied little Jimmy. "Is that a good day's work?" the reporter asked. "Xo, it ain't," responded little Jim. "It's a poor day's work."

Reporter—Do you sell papers for a liv- incident,

o' .Souther Little Jim—\es. I sell papers and go off on my ear for a livin'.

Importer—How much do you make a dav selling papers? Little Jim—I make more a travellin' off on my ear than I do sellin' papers. lveporier—How many times a day do you go off on your ear?

Little Jim—Oh, sometimes more'n a hundred. 1 only bin on me ear about twenty times to-day. All the fellers is out a sleigh ridin,' an' I don't go off on me ear as much as when they ain't no snow on the ground. There's a feller down in Exchange place what buys a paper every day, an

1 gooff on me ear for

Keuortcr IIo

Poor little Jim pulled off his cap. His ear was read, but ctilo'H. It felt like sole leather. After offering to go off on his ear again for his questioner's especial benefit on the receipt of live cents, he whipped on !ii. cap, and dashed out of the door with the alertness of a black and tan.

A' last one oi them said: '"Pray, i)uct'ir J'^lder, liir.v is it that one of your tastes and learning .should be to opposed to Southern rights and invitutions:" 'That opened the bali, and, nothing loth, he aii-wered with a story can never forget a story which 1 believe has never been /tirgoLten by any cue who heard it: "When I lived in Pittsburg, gentlemen," said the Doctor, ''where 1 had the honor to vote for James Birney for President in 1S41, bein? one of a very, very small party, which will soon con.rol Pennsylvania by an Andrew .Jackson majority, we had a strange character among us who occasionally made speeches against, slavery, and whose peculiarities were that when he became excited he gave way to uncontrollable tears and oaths. I always went to hear him, for there was an odd fascination about him. One night he was adveitised to speak against the fugitive slave law—a measure which roused him almost to madness—and I was among the audience. He closed his harangue with a passage something like this: "Let lis apply this law to ourselves, brethren and sisters. I live about a mile out of town, and rarely get back to my quiet home till evening and the first to welcome me at the garden-gate are my little girl Mary and my bright-eyed Willie— the joy of my heart, the stars of my life. Suppose, when 1 get home to-morrow, 1 meet my wife, instead of my children, at the door, and on asking for my darlings, she tells me that a man called John C. Calhoun, ot South Carolina, and another man called Henry Clay, of Kentucky, had come, in my absence, and carried them down South into slavery? How would you feel in such a case? How do vou think I would feel? What would I do? you ask. Well, I will tell you. I would follow the aforesaid John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay follow them to the South follow them to the gates of death and hell yes, into hell, and there cram the red hot coals down their damned, infernal throats!" "And this outburst," added Dr. Elder, "was punctuated with alternate sobs and swearing. I have given you one of the many causes, gentlemen, that have confirmed me in my abolitionism."

It is impossible to convey an idea of the manner in which Dr. Elder told this t, or the effect produced upon the rn men around him. They listened with profound and breathless interest, and more than one with a pale cheek and mci--lenod eye and though they did not say they agreed with the eloquent Doctor, I saw that they respected him for t!w candor and warmth with which lie had replied to their equally candid question.

STOJIY ABOUT GENEKAL HUTLEK.

The (ieneral the lioucfactor of a Stiirviiiir Convent.

Tiic Chicago 1'od tells the following story, which it declares a true one: It is, perhaps, unnecessary to remark that Uc-neral Butler was once in command at Xew Orleans. Equally useless is it to say that little good of him was written or though! during his administration of that incorrigible department, and that his "treatment" of Southern ladies was described by adjectives of a very severe import. Malignance in its worst form found vent at his expense, and "Beast Butler" was the term by which he and his alleged character were best told in those days both in the North and South. I St. Michael's is the name of a pretty little village not hundreds of miles north of New Orleans, on the Mississippi, wh'c!: i'ar days was limited to a Convent of the Sacred Heart, that formed a favoriic school for the daughters of the rebels of the section. Perhaps a dozen dwellings surrounded this main feature of the place, and St. Michael's was rebel from rim to core.

Mother Shannon was the Abbess of ihe convent and the Superior of ihe school. She and her "daughters in religion" certainly shared the anti-Yankee sentiment which so sadly strove to ruin them and tis in common chaos but, holding oldtime notions of woman's sphere in political broils, they were not loud in the utterance of their thoughts. This did not keep famin from the convent door, however there came a day when the storehouse was barren as a Southern field trodden by Morgan's cavalry. The larder shelves were on a line impartially horizontal neither fruit nor fish nor, cereal bore them down to the accustomed curve of heaviness. Hunger already stalked among the houses of the villagers, and the famished people gathered at the I convent gate, clamoring lor food. Mere

Shannon walked ihe convent, sad and prayerful, telling her beads. The rilent, white veiled novices llitted about their usual duties, asking not a question, but wondering, perhaps, how many fast days there would be in the coming week. The .-crious black veils, still more thoughtful, gathered about Mere Shannon's chair, when she sat in the evening recreation, and, reading the query in her eyes, behold no answer. If the nuns uttered a 6oii KioMhat night, it must have been exquisitely spiritual.

A loud knocking resounded at the gate, and a messenger appeared startled, and breathless. A deputation from Donaldsonville, a dozen miles northward ont he river, from the house of the Sisters of Charity, wanted to know if Mere Shannon would receive the sisters and their thirty orphan girls, whose a\vluiu had suecum bed to the fortunes of war, and who were houseless and hungry at Donaldsonville. Mother Shannon is a brave woman, but she blanched a little. The nuns were astonished at the newly discovered distress, add for the moment thought only of a miracle. "jfen Dial" cried Mother Shannon, "it is impossible! We have no food Xew Orleans is under Gen. Butler, and communication with the city, si far as the supplies are concerned, i» beyond my power.
