A TOUCHING SCENE.-The Norfolk American of
last Saturday mentions the following affecting Incl
dent: d;
A gentleman well known in our city, was the other
day walking in one of our Cemeteries when he heard
sobs and half uttered excamatons, rendered indis-
tinct by emotions The voice was evidently that of
young person. Turning in the direction of the
sound, he beheld small girl leaning of the
graves made last summer, weeping as though her
little heart would break Every moment, almost she
would exclaim--" Father, oh Father, why don't you
COME am waiting for you.p The gentleman could
not for some moments speak to her, the effect upon
him was electrical, and tear began to form in his
eyes. Ea
He conquered his emotion, however, and learned
from her that they had placed her father there and
she wanted him." Through the long cold winter she
had not forgotten where her parent was laid and she
had come to seek him. This incident needs no COM
ment from US, its simplicity and beauty must go right
to the hearts of all who read it.
FOREIGN Goss1p.-The following items of foreign
gossip will not be found uninterestng to our readers
1t will be interesting to many Of our German
merchants to learn that the fair OF Lepsc was
| so prosperous or SO well attended as this year. A
week before the day appointed for the opening, many
Of the dealers had almost exhausted the stocks which
they had prepared for an ordinary demand and were
obliged to have fresh supplies brought from the
manufactures by the mostrapid means of conveyance
French productions, such as oths,musn de LANES,
name of 8" articles de Parts were bought up with
unprecedented rapidity. Before half the fair was
over goods to the amount Of thirty millions of tha
lers (about 100 millions of francs) had been pur-
chased. and orders have been besides given which
will give employment to the manufactures for months
to come. The manufactures of cotton goods in
Saxony using every exertion to compete with the
productions Of France, and England, and the use of
machinery is making rapid progress among them.
The peace rejoieings in England appear to be re-
garded as very hollow joy. They are to consist
chiefly Of review in Hyde Park Of the house hole
| troops, always tame, stupid pageant, and q huge
display of fireworks in the evening" On the peace
1915, the event celebrated with far greater POM
and circumstance, but then England had all tht
"glorie,' whereas now, more perhaps from msfor
| tune than fault, she leaves the field with somewha
furnished prestige.
Cardinal Wiseman has been delivering to large
audience in London lecture on the effect of words
on thought and civilization. The Cardinal resides ir
a very unpretending residence in Golden-sguare
. where on every Tuesday evening he has reception
or rather levee, of the young Roman Catholic nob
ty, gentry and many of the priesthood. By his own
coreigionsts he is treated with intense veneration
all, even in mixed companies falling knee and
kissing his hand when he enters. In person. he is Of
enormous bulk and proportions, and his countenance
is dark and swarthy. In manner, he is most unctu
Gus and oily and has all the Celtic attery and desire
to please Some short time since there were rumors
Of his translation to high Office in Rome, which prob
| ably were thrown out to dissipate the feelings o
bitterness entertained against him by the people o
England since the period of the celebrated Bull bui
he is far too efficient agent Of Rome to be lightly
withdrawn from field in which he has been so sue
| ceSsful.
