Itesolved also. That In thu Judgment of this Council this season Is not n healthy one for babies, and hereafter when any foundling Is left at our door we shall deny Its admittance, OUR GIRLS. Our Correspondent, "Dick,' Tackles an Old Subject In.a Navi.Form. Much has been written about'our boys about the good boy and the bad boy of the present century but very little has been said about out girls. Now, I pro- pose to fill this vacancy, and I Intend, In a truthful way, to tell Just!exactly what I know about girls. In doing so I will be very careful to give no one just cause to be otl'endcd at any of my remarks, but In a plain matter of fact way will treat tho girl subject as I believe it to be. We will begin with the girl baby; note the dlllerenco In her antics to that of a boy. She will not destroy u hand mirror as readily as will u boy, nor will sho light and scream w hile her hair Is being smoothed down, and she will smile as the nurse powders her sweet little face; all of this she will sub mit to quietly, while the hoy baby will light to such an extent that you will be compelled to retire lit disgust, lint If you would obtain his friendship give him a stick of molasses candy and leave him to himself. You will have no more trouble with him until you iroceed to remove the candy coating rom his face, vou may also be nut to a little extra trouble dtirlmr the nlcht administering paragorie. Hut enough of ine uoy tinny, u b tne gin i am anei; We now 11 nil that she has arrived at that aire when sho Is regarded as the sun light of her parents' home. Deprived of her tirignr presence, everything would pe cioineii in tiarKness. Her school davs have heiruu. We now perceive since our girl baby has grown that sho Is In every particular tho girl. She does not lean towards that class of wild Klrls. known ns "Tom bovs." nor Is she n matron with the eareB of a family at the age of Id, or thu weak, silly girl wuo Hesitates at. venturing into society for fear of criticism. She is simply the girl of to-day. llefore departing for school, sho ar ranges her hair very carefully, shapinglt to suit the present style of hair dressing. There Is not n pleat, stitch, or a thread In the make tip of a woman's dress that this girl does not know. One fault 1 tlnd about her; is the paper sho consumes In making up her bustle when It might be put to more profitable use. A woman Is never satisfied until she has her dross shaped behind, some thing after the style of nn elevated shelf. Her wardrobe being complete she sal lies forth In triumph. She Is saluted by Master Henry and raaster'feo antl so.cach receiving In return a smile and a glance from her beautiful eyes, that seem to pour forth to tho guze of her eager ad mirers a posltlvonssuranco that tliey ure the favored one. This sort of thlnir continues until she reaches that age w hen these once harm less flirtations havo now developed Into a more serious nature She continues to mislead the unwary youth, who unsus pectingly enjoys an imaginary favortlsm ovisr his rivals, who also consider tbeui Belvea blessed with the same urlvlleire. While laboring under this inlliienee they ure constantly taxing their brain, com posing suitable verses to declare their ndnrntlon for our girl. What become of these many fancy colored perfumed paper billet douxr Are they carefully tied together with blue ribbon and stored away In a place of safety V No, sir: emphatically they are read and tossed aside regardless of what may be their fate;'agnln the contents are crit icised by her companions, who all enloy each other's secrets. Sometimes her little brother gets possession of one; he U struck with the fancy color of the paper nndstrnigntwiin proceeds to man ufucture hlmselfn kite by running two sticks across through the paper. Then nlthntall and n snool of cotton the young man's declarations of love are eq route SKywaru. hub gin, irne iu ncr nature, will soon grow tired of this, and If left alone will soon discover that her flirtations must ceao lfshe would enjoy the happiness of matrimony. With this dcslro once established, nothing can remove It, and unless she lias some one Interested In her welfare she will give her bund In marriage re gardless of the future, and nine times out ot Id, If her husband Is a worthy man, tho match will prove n happy one and the wlfo hs a mother will learn to guard her children with the trreatest cure.

After a teislon of It Worklug'dnys the grand Jury came before Judge Xoonan this morning and announced that they had completed their lubors. The jury ade no written report of their work. Tudge Xoonati did not discharge them, but adjourned them over until the llrst Mondny In May. I he Jury during Its session has pre sented eniiio 3d) bills or Indictments, the great majority of which Is for misde meanors, though there Is a goodly amount of felony charges. A great deal of excitement nnd no end f tnlk wns created this morning by reports that were freely circulated to the licet that bills had been found against the otlicers of the city administration, and also against Sheriff McCall, Con stable Under, Justice Anton Adam, and others, for fullure to have parties run ning gambling houses and houses of prostitution brought to justice. Also against Judge Mason, Assessor Garcia, and County Physician Graves. These reports created much stir and a large rowd gathered around the court house.

Mr. Mitchell Preaches for the Second Time at the Baptist Church. Last night the Itev. Mr. Mitchell, In a concise and well-put sermon, expatiated on the subject of the washing of our Savior's feet by Mary. Knlurgcntngfrora this basts, he depleted with much ex presston and fervor the condescension and grnclousucss of the Lord In permit ting this woman to wash his feet a woman whom commentators contend was of had character and for which act tho Pharisees rebuked tho Creator. Mr. pressed hU opinion that if tho Lord was willing to forgive, and with his welcome smile allow a sinner to approach him, how much more ought we poor human worms, who stand aghast on hearing the thunder and seeing tho lightning, with minds burled In Ignorance ob to the causes from which they arise, except those sclentlllu assumptions placed ue fore tlie world, how much more should we. who believe these ele ments to be play things In the hands of the Almighty, conv and essay to walk In his footsteps, and not turn away with a suuuuer, out put out the kind hand of charity and help Jo our erriiiL' brethren. "One touch of nature makes the world akin," and oh! how many how many have gone to perdition their shoulders welched down with lildious packs ot crime, wuen one ititte touch of natttro would have elevated and turned their steps In the path of virtue. Mr. Mitchell said the story of Mary's waBhlng ttio feet of our Lord was ecriuiniv one ot me most euective narratives he had ever rend, cither in Illbllcal or ony other history, and In all cases, Christ had never been known to turn a deaf ear or use a harsh word to the penitent sinner.
