AN INCIDENT OF THE ALLIANCE TRAGEDY.
True heroism is forgetfulness of self in
order 20 save the lives of others. If the
account given to us be correct, and it was
given by eye-witnesses Of the occurrence,
Jacob Rudy, German, the fagman of the
station-the shapeless fragments of whose
body we saw lying upon board in large
warehouse near the station-died as a hero
dies. He saw the train approaching with
the. speed of Nightingale saw the danger
of the crowd upon the platform, and those in
the train which was leaving-he rushed,
with his lantern and his signal waving, up
the track. directly fronting the death deal
ing locomotive, and it struck him; carried
him between The cars; tore him limb from
limb, actually tore his noble heart out, which
was dragged from under the baggage car a
torn and bleeding mass of shapeless human
flesh. In the agony of his fear for others
he had forgotten himself Such conduct
is worthy of a monument of marble. His
body, or rather what remained of it pre-
sented most shocking spectacle. One of
his arms was torn off, his head and upper
part of his body had lost every distinguish
able feature of humanity. His young wife,
about to become mother, came down in
the morning to see her husband God help
her in her sore distress. Pinsburg Dis

benefit of treaty stipulation for its proiec-

is thus placed under the guarantee of two

With title perfect, protection secured, and

of the removal of Judge Lecompte is now
confirmed by the nomination by the Presi-

The removal was contemplated at least
forty days~ago, and of which, it is said,
Judge Lecompte was aware; but, up to
this time. nothing has been heard from him
in defence Of his official conduct. The re-

GRANADA 70 BE A FUTURE VENIcE.-Atno
great distance from tie city of Granada are
situated a cluster of the most beautiful and
fertile islands it is possible to conceive
They vary from a few square yards TO sew
eral square miles in superficial extent Be-
yond these and separated from them by a
deep, navigable channel, stands the large
island of Zapetaro, whose bold headlands
and irregular surface serve as a guide to
navigate the lake. Zapelaro is in its
western extremity scooped out SO as to form
IN almost circular bay, and the shore of
the mainland opposite having deep curve
an almost, circular bay is formed of several
miles in diameter, so securely sheltered by
highlands as to make the slightest ship lie
secure upon its surface even when storms
may be lashing into fury the more exposed
parts flake Nicaragua. The southeas-
tern part Of this bay is also entered by a
channel of deep water which divides The
southwestern extremity of Zapeiaro from
the mainland. The northern part of the
bay is bounded by the cluster known as
the Thousand Islands, each one of which
TO our mind, is in short time destined to
be full of houses, stores, and commercial
warerooms' and where vessels of conside-
rable tonnage can move from one depot to
another with more ease than ox-carts now
used in Granada move from one street to
another.
On this city of a thousand islands, pure
cool water will be always convenient, and
it would be impossible tor impurities and
infections to exist in its vicinity.
Here canals will occupy the place of
streets. and light fairy-lke pleasure boats
will supersede horses. Here. instead of a
Wall street, we have Rialto; here will be
seen and heard senoras and senoritas in
their gondoIas, singing lovesongs in the
starlight, and here will be the most pleas
ant combination of health. convenience and
beauty in any city upon which the sun has
ever shone

Fashionable Women

Fashion kills more women than toll and
sorrow. Obedience to fashion is the great
est transgression to the laws of woman S
nature, a greater injury to her physical and
mental constitution, than the hardships of
poverty and neglect The slave woman at
her tasks will live and grow old, and see
two or three generations of her mistress
pass away. The washerwoman. with
scarcely ray of hope to cheer her in her
tolls will live to see her fashionable sisters
all die around her, the kitchen maid is hear
ty and strong when her lady has to be nur-
sed like sick baby. 1t is sad truth that
fashion pampered women are almost worth
less fer all the great ends of human life
They lave but little force of character,
they have still less power of moral will
and quite as little physical energy. They
live for no great purpose in life, they ac-
complish no worthy ends: they are only
doll forms, in the hands of milliners and
servants to be dressed and fed to order
They dress nobody, they feed nobody; and
save nobody They write no books. they
set no rich example Of virtue and womanly
life, if they rear children. servants and
nurses do it all, save 10 conceive and give
them birth. And when reared what arc
they? Wha. do they amount TO, but wea-
ker actions of the old stock? Read the
biographies of our men and women. Not
one Of them had fashionable mother.
They nearly all sprang from plain, strong
minded women, who had as little to do
with fashion as the changing clouds.
