“The Dylaff B#y.* 311 . ^ ' >• > r “ ' ■ - rr 'W-#' [Datroit Fro rraw.J Aogust Schmidt, of DtTMon itrcet, is a man whose son! is full of poetry from sunrise to mosqaito-time, sod he is most htppr when he has a fiddle in his bands. few'dsye sinoe he composed a song oaliei “The Dying Boy,” sod if nothing happens to his roice ho will sing it until the boy either dies or gets well. It has been his custom to tahe his fiddle and song each evening and go to some gro cery or saloon and play and sing it over and over until everybody was dri% en out. Friday evening he struck a new saloon, spread out bis notes, and be. gan • ’ — “Dor night vhos dark und lonely. Mo moon vbas In der sky; Vhen Henry Hammerdelmer’s boy Der doctor said must die.” There was a general uprising to do the poet honor as he finished the first verse, and before the enthusiasm had subsided he was out on the street with a broken head. He was the only one disturbing the peace as the offioer came along, and was therefore the only one brought i». “Carl Schmidt,” said his Honor, after hearing the particulars, ” let poetry alone. It is the rpad to the poor-house. While all of us love to read poetry, none of us want to pay for it.” “First dey proke ray fiddle, und den dey proke my head,” replied Carl as he felt of hie scalp. “And if you continue in the poetry trade you’ll find ten men itching to break yoar head where one will be will ing to say a word of praise. Go home and resolve to pay more attention to cube root and less to poetry.” “VheO, I lia f to see about dot,” said Carl, as he turned away and left the /vuir+.rooni humming : . "Dot Henry Kfmmerdelmsr’s, boy Vhaa lame in both his legs; But vhen des angels take him heme ' He'll haf some golden pegs.” ■Has la a Nevr Role. [Chicago Time* ] A sensation was created at govern ment headquarters hero by Silas M. Patterson, son of ex. Senator Patterson, of South Carolina, who arrived beie some weeks ago on his return from Cali fornia, put up in grand style at the Pal mer House, and introduced himself at the Customhouse with personal letters, from John Sherman, Charier Pevens, G. W. McCreary, D. M. Key, John R. Hawley, and others, well known in Washington. These loiters placed him in the good graces of Wm. Henry Smith, Collector Harvey, and all Government people. He was taken by the hand and amiled upon, wined, dined and toasted a la Grant in China. All went merry un. til one day be appeared at the Custom, house, explained to Wm. Henry Smith how he had lost $1,800 betting on the wrong horse at the races, was dead broke, expected a draft from Secretary Sher man, also from pere Patterjm&Jtnd in the meantime wished a temporary loan -on some family diamonds which, luckily, he had with him. He was fortunate, and left a handful of diamonds among the Government officials, obtaining a three to four thousand dollar loan on them. Next appeared one Warren Knight, claiming to be a diamond bro ker, who had given the . diamonds to Patterson to sell and return the motey, which he did not return. He secured a warrant fer Patterson’s arrest. The latter wanted his diamonds back to save himself from disgrace. Patterson, it is said, has been*bounced from the Pal mer House, owing a large bill. Knight is said to be connected with a gang of thieves, and Patterson is suspected of being in collusion with him in the con- fidenee game to rob the Government employees. The Dey That Darned Ilia Fa ther’* Dara. , The boy stood on the backyard fence, whence all bnt hit? had fled. The fiumes that lit hit father’s barn, shown just above the shed. One bunch of crack ers in his hand, two others in-his bat, with piteous accents load he cried, “I never thought of that.” A bunch of crackers to the tail of one small dog he tied. Tbe dog in anguish sought the barn, and mid its ruin did die. The sparks flew wide and hot, they lit upon that brat; they fired the crackers in his l anl and eke thoee in his hat. Then came' a burst of rattling sound—the boy? When was he gone? Ask of the winds that far around strewed bits of ■ meat and bone, and seraps of clothes, and balls, and tope, and nails, and hooks, and yarn, ike relics of that dreadful hoy i his father’s barn.
