A dreary world would be this earth
Were there no little children in it;
The song of life would. lose its mirth
Were thereno children to begin ft.
Ng babe within our arms to leap ;
No little feet towesd slumber tending;
No little knee inprayer to bend, v
Our lips to theirs the sweet words lending.
No roBY boys , at Wintry moth,
With satchel to the schoolhouse hasting;
;co merry shouts as home they rush ;
No precious morsel for their tasting.
Tall, gra.ve, grown people at the door ;
Tall, grave, grown peoRle at the table ;
The men on htlfitheS8 all inteut,
The dames lugubnious as they're able.
The Sterner SOW would get more stern
Unfeeling natures more inhumati';
And men to coldness turn,
And:woilittu would. be less than woman.

Were there no babies tii begin it ;
A doleful place this world would be

The folloveleg. strange • story of „lawless
love and lawless hate connected with the
hanging of Mary aulavan by est mob in
Caldwell (Monty, Kentucky; is given in the
Louisville 'Commercial '
Aboutten yeare ago- there lived in the.
bottoms along Tradewater River; in . the
northern part of Caldwell county, two
families.destioed to most terrible ends -the
Campbells and the Sullivans: They were
considered , neither' better nor . worse
than thoee 'about them. They were
ignorant and rather shiftless; but 80, Were ,
many othersin the neighborhood.. Soon,
heWevet, the country people round about
• began to . say strange, things. of . the girl Mary.
Sullivan. She was a bright, quick girl of
20, with light hair, light blew, eyes, and a
little above the mediate in size. No man
for miles -about. could outlift her. With
gun or. pistol she was a . dead shot. 'On
horseback there Wastatta boy, in the county
- who could yule faster overrougher country
or who dared to .commit halltae.darealevil
pranks • thatadaky constantly delighted in.
The effect of all this in a quiet ,country
neighborhood pan hardly_ be imagined.
Mary Sullivau's name became the by -word
for all that was infamous, and the !staid'
country matrons hilted their babies.- to
. sleep with stories Of the horrible Mary and
her midnight: rides and crimes. Then
tumor turned toother things. Mary was,
often seenwith the Campbell boys, and
°thee or twice she was seen with them and
her brother late at night, dashing ,at her',
usual breakneek epeed over the country
roads. Abut thietirne . the Most daring
robberies. 'began to be committed • in the
northern end of -the- county.. Farmers
found their esmoke-houses °pep night after.
night. Several stores,. were' broken into .
and robbed, and, strange: to say, no one
.kneve Who committed the crimes; One old.
farmer began to taik very freely, saying he-
recoanized Mary .Sullivan at the head ofe
the Campbells break into his emokebouse.
A day or 66 afterviard. Mary galloped hp to
his hotese; called him out; and asked him'
what he meant by sating Whet he aid.. -
" Did youseeme and. the CaMpbelle at
your emoke-house.?" asked she, at the.
setae time pulling a big navy revolver.:and
shoving it under his nose. Theold mao.
stammered out an apology, and was never
afterward heard to say a woad against the
Campbells. Among the most.: . bitter
denouncers of the gang. was an old man.
named Fedora who lived a few miles away
from them on the Tradewater. One night,
just three years ago, two men, 'afterward.
discovered to be Tom Sullivan and Reilly'
Campbell, rode up to old man Felkers,' took
him and his Old • wife out, and beet.them
neevetely. They then, rode off.' This affair
minted the Most -intense, excitement. A
mob was hurriedly organized, - and Some
ferrymen rodeover to the Camp -
belle. Mary,- Sullivan. had in some way
heard thatthey were . comingseveral
hours beforehand... She and her brother,
Tom went over to ..the little leg hut of the,
Campbells and barricaded themselves: ,Fire
was opened by the mob; and. the Campbella
and Sullivane prompely, returned it. After
a little the besieged made it So hot for the
mob that it had to retire.. The only than
hurt in the melee was Torn 'Sullivan, who
was shot in taehreest, but Who soon receive
.ered. .
A Remover° EPISODE.,

and robberies became more frequent. At
this time an event happened' which was
destined to cause the eptiredestraotion of

of recklessness fired off bis pistol.; The

again, rushed out of the grocery and began
firing. The men retfiened the sheaf's and
then gallopped-on to Marta This 'created

next day a Mob Waft got together to exter-

The next night forty men„ armed to

in their hearts, swept dowit the road toward
the' little log babin , where the Catnpbells

,family named MoMerta, an old man and
some arnalLohilcIren. The only other in.
mates were Reilly „Catroabell. .and his
brother Bad. The leader of the mob called
out to the MoMurtys to leave the house,
which they bastanty did, standing ()Wain
the woods shivering and waiting for what
horror they hardly knew. Preparations
were instantly made by the two men in the
house for a fight to the death. Quarter
was neither' asked nor given.: The mob
opened fire and the Campbells answered
them. Then the firing became fierce and
fast. A groan came !roue the outside, and
a little group hurried a man off in their
arms. It was Hioe Johnson, a well-to-do,
reepeetitbletfartner. He had a ball through
his breast, and bled to death out on the
road, with the pistol -balls flying over his
head flinging Vie requiem. Then came a
groan from within, and Reilly Campbell.

night whenever he saw the flash or an

dead.
THE END OF DIARY SULLIVAN.
Nobody knew where Mary Sullivan was
all thee time. More than one of the mob
afterward confessed that if Mary had been
thee the job would not have been such an
easy one. A 'night or two later some men
returning from a visit to a neighbor's
thought they heard' a man's voice pleading
with some one for mercy. They were not
positive, but thought the person addressed
was called "Mara." The next day the life.
lees body of Crockett Jenkins, was found
swinging 'from the limb of a giant oak at
the tap of it tall hill. The moralproof that
Mary Sullivan committed the crime,
assisted by her mother and 'aster, 'seemed
to be co,nolusive, but there was no positive
proof. And so, when Maryand her mother
and sister were areeeted, nothing could be
' done to them. They were all ,discharged,
and when Mary went back home she found
death's headnotices glaring at her, warning
her to leave the neighborhood. All the
rest of her friend is were either dead or
wounded, or had left. Bud Campbell
waedead ;• Reilly e, Campbell was
dead;.Crockett Jenkins was dead; her
brother Tom had ' gone away to recover
from his wound; her mother and 'sister
had fled; she.wasaan-outcast- and alone. -
But in spite of all this the woman's ine
domitable courage never failed her. She
went off to make arrangements about sell-
ing some rams, primed and oiled her pistols
and 'then wrote „defiant notes to her
enemies. On the 29th of September she
rode, over to old Farmer Hubbell's and
asked for lodging for the night. She had
her little 5-year-oldchild with her: About
10 o'olock a voice called her to the door.
Her usual prudence seems to have deserted
her. She did not even take her pistols,
which for five years had never left her
hand day or night. She reached the door,
cipeced it and peered out. The night was
dark and windy. Heavy rainy clouds hid
everything, and she failed to see the five
men with -pistols in their hands standing
within a, few feet of her. She opened the
door and stepped out. Three strong piths
of arms reached out from the darkness,
and in an irista,rit she was whirled away
out to the public road. She knew what
fate lay in store . for „ her, ' .bui
Uttered neither threats nor ° entreaties.
She said never a word, but walked along
quietly with her captors. They bound her
sante and feet, and, tossingher over it horse
as though she was a meal Back, they joined
the mob which was waiting for them on the
road. They rode on till Mary recognized
with a thrifl. of horror that they were
'approaching the piece where Jenkins was
hung. They halted under the very tree,
and the leader, taking a rope from behind
it, solemnly fastened the noose about the
woman's neck. She never flinched. They
took her off the horse, dragged her to the
foot of the tree, threw the rope over the
same limb from Which Crockett Jenkins
had dangled a week before, and drew the
woman up'. A convulsive, horrible shudder
ran through her frame, but she spoke never
a • Word. The wind moaned dismally
through the branches of the wood, whisper-
ing to'the trees as it went that it woman's
body, cold and stiff in death, was swinging
from the tallest branch of the old oak tree.

TIIRILLLNQ STOU Or PERIL. AND. SUFFERING.
The following is the story ot Frabk
aleFee, one of the bailors rescued on Lake
Michigan:
Well, I ate pretty well shaken up, but
I know only too well what happened. You
see, he ola.Behooner was going along all
right about twenty-five' miles northeast of
Milwaukee. There was a goad stiff breeze
blowing, but it ' didn't amount to much?
Along late in the afternoon the breeze
stiffened up considerably, and we had some
flurries :of snow. As it began to grow
dark the Celan set HS to Work and pulled in
'every rage We saw we were going to have
a tough time of it, and made our prepare, -
times. None of us thought much of it,
however, and thought we would weather
the blow: We went along until about 6
o'clock, or it might have been a little
earlier. Tbia was Thursday, you see.
When the squall struck us the schooner
began' to pitch forwaid., The most of us
rail aft, but the sea kept piling ' in on US.'
Every sea swept clean over the deck. The
deck load of cedar posts started off by pieces,
and every now and then we had to
to keep from - being swept off. The way
those ties went awashing.about in the water
was simply a.wful. We eased her as well
as we could, and thought , ahe would right'
when we eased her of the deck load. All of
a sudden there was a kind of a, snort, and
the wind veered a little to the nor'ard:
The Schooner was ,lying nearly, head on,
when all of it sudden she listed over and
went clean over on her broadside. She
• didn't right .again,' and, then we knew
she was gone: The naval and two more
of us were at the boat. It took a
long time,
and every sea :swept the
tackle • out of our hands. Just as
`the boat was ready a big bunch of those
ties came bumping along and smashed the.
yawl. The mate want for'ard to where
there was a lot of the cedar, but he had to
come aft again. Then the hold load began
start - the deck,- and we could- hoarit
snapping and groaning. Then the d—d
sohooner split right in two, fore and aft.
We saw she was a goner and jumped. We
hardly had left the deck before she pitehed
her nose deep down and made one tremen-
dous dive." ,

'She accordingly bought one a . month or

---,
A Constantinople correspondent says:
Lord Dufferin's Egyptian mission is stil
,.the engrossing subject of conversation: The.
Turks were led to believe for a long time
after he ltd arrived that theyhad got hold
of a green band, and His Majesty fancied
he might safely visit upon the British
Ambassador the dislike and anger' he felt
for Mr. Gladstone. What eouldthe people
out here, accustomed to regard the great
" Elchees " (Ambassadors) as small kings
in their way, think of one who might be
seen any day stepping out of a common street
cub or trotting along on .the back of it
hack picked up at the nearest corner. His
Lordship was probably not aware of the
lookii or amazement which followed his
course as the natives recognized him thus
rushing about without any of the iusual
surroundings of his high rank or the
hideous appearance he sometimes presented
to the European eye. I. recollect on one
occasion being foroibly reminded of Don
Quixote as I met Hie Lordship coining
along through Pera, his spare form seated
on the back of a veritable "Itozinante."
lte tail had been tied up in a twist to keep
it clear of the mud, and the owner was
working it along at high pressure by the
application of it " Sairey Gamp" umbrella:
to its hindmiarters. " With all his absence
of pretence there is, however, no man with
greater .pride than Load Daffekiii, and,
having a fine old Irish temper of his own,
he can come down properly at times upon
any one that may chance to offend- his
dignity or thwart his purpose, as the,
Turkish Ministers have felt on more than
One occasion. Seeing Hie Lordship, 'as I
have said, casting aside all the traditions of
ambassadorial life at Constantinople, roam --
ng about unattended in the streets and in
'moiety instead of maintaining the dignified
reserve of his colleagues, laugaing, and
'flirting with all the girls and danoing away
like the youngest bachelor present, no
wonder the Turks were led to .depreeiete
-the diplomatic-foroe-that elfes-behind-thise
careless manner. They found .out their
mistake, however, in the recent negotia-
tions on the Egyptian question, when Lord
Dtifferin so cleverly beat them' -at -their own
game. His Lordehip speaks of returning
by Christmas, and Lady Duilerin Says.that
she still hopes to give society the promised
theatricals at the embassy before leaving
for her spring trip to England.' Her
Ladyship is a wonderful actress, - and
the performances on the embassy -stage
are real treats to the British colony.
The mother of grown up sons and daughters
she has naturally reached a certain age, but
the youthfulness of her ilaure carries off a
great deal, and her get.up is so wonderful
that I have heard an admiring critic of the
male sex deolare more than once that it is
well for the peace of mind of her friends
that Lady Dufferin does not always look as
she does upon the stage. Both Lord and
Lady Dufferin are extremely popular in
European society, and deservedly so, for
they are exceedingly kind.hea,rted and ever
ready to join in any scheme for its amuse-
ment.
slow to Prohonace Egyptian Plaines..
Mr.. Stanley Lane -Poole; than whom it
would be difficult to find a more competent
authority, has addressed to a Loudon
newspaper some much-needed instructions
es to the pronunciationo!.the Egyptian
proper names of which patriotic poets in
England are making such a sad hash. "It
may be laid down as a general rule," be
Baas, "that Egyptian names of placea.. and,
people are much better kept in the maddle
of the linerout of the way of the rhyme. Toe
neglect of this rule results in such mistakes
as Tel-el-Kebir rhyming with ' sabre,' when
it is really pronounced" Tel-ealiebeer " and
would rhyme with 'severe,' Arabia, again,
does noaagree, either in accent.or in the
sound of the last syllable ,with lullaby,'
but rather With a harpy ; ' and Kassassin
is no rhyme for assassin,' though it might
run With • as a scene.' Ismailia, with the
accent on the penultimate, Port Said and
Zegazig-both accented on the last eyllable
-are generally mispronounced in the
verses which the war hae inspired." ' Mr.
Lane.Poole does not :fail to notice'
that Tennyson did not trouble aim-
self- about accents when he made the
Caliph Haroun Eartaschicl. into Haroun
al-Raschid, • and he ocmcludes lie letter
with a practical remark the ' pregnancy of
which American newspaper readers will be
quite as prompt as their -British brethren
to recognize as follows: , "Our various:and
complicated , modes of spelling Oriental
names are certainly to blame for ,muola of
the confusion, and wheu the -same place is
spelt in six differeet ways by pia different
maps or six different correspondents, to say
nothing of the idiosynerasies of individual
Orientalists. it is not surprising that .the
general public go wrong. If the official
censor of telegrams had taken the oral°,

have enjoyed the privilege of exercisicw

• The Case of White.
aThis paper remarked one day that White
was drunk. Instead of ',rushing down here
to annihilate some one, he 'waited three
long days to let his temper cool, and then
climbed the stairs one "step at a time, took
it easy along the hall, and entered the
editorial rooms with is benign expression of
countenance. When asked if he wanted
an agricultural exchange, or had an item to
leave, he oalnaly replied:
"You stated the other day that I was
drunk."
"Yea, sir."
" I hase called to demand personal satis-
faction."
" Certainly."
, " lpropoee to rnaul. some one to pulp and
grease my boar; with the pulp."
"Correct, sir."
"In fact, to clean out the ranch:"
"just so." a
"But not now -not until spring. Along
about April next you may look for me, and
when I come you had better be prepared to
die ! GOod-day, sir!"
"Good day." .
I Now, how much better that was than to
come rushingin with a pistol or club, muss-
ing up the roome and disturbing the routine
df the office! It is it favor we highly appre-
ciate, and every one of the staff will try
and live until spring in order that Mr. White
will not be disappointed when heacalls on
business.

political speech in a country village. Being
a red-hot Republican he naturally gave the .
Democratic party the best he had, and
areongother things asserted that in case
-
of Democratic success the country would
have to pay the Confederate bonds. Two
or three days after election a man walked
into the lawyer's,office, opened a valise and
took from it $920,000 of reb bonds and
said: "What are they worth ?" Four
