Irvinq's now lite of Washineto in five

Winter had now set in,with occasional
wind, and rain, and frost, yet Washington

Sad Accident.
DEATH BY DROWNING OF JOHN IVES.

DEATH BY DROWNING OF JOHN IVES.
We are panied to announce the sudden
and accidental death of one who has been
with us and shared our labors most of the
time, for the last seventeen years. Mr..
Ives, or, as he was Familiarity and affec-
tionately known, Uncle John Ives was
drowned on Wednesday last, the 29th ult.,
while bathing in the Boquet River. His
body was found just below the Forge dam,
in this village, al about five o'clock in the
afternoon of that day. As to the manner
Of the sad cauSality, we can only Judge.
that, on going into the water, while very
much heated, he was seized with some af.
fec6on, which the shock OF sudden plunge
into the cool water produced, and thus
rendered entirely helpless. Mr.. Ives was
a good swimmer, and there is no other
supposition as to the cause Of his death.
He was in good health and excellent spirits
during the forenoon of the day Of his
death, and after dinner went out to work
a few minutes in the garden. he was
last 'een alive at that place, between l
and 2, P. M. About o'clock his clothes
were seen on the bank of the river, but as
there were three men bathing above the
dam, it was supposed that the garments
seen belonged to them. Shortly after it
was observed that the clothes remained,
while the men were gone, and. as they
were recognized as belonging to Mr.. Ives,
search was instituted, which resulted in
the finding Of his body in water 10 feet
deep. He was Immediately taken out.
but it was evident that he had lain there
long time, probably about three hours
Mr.. Ives was born in Tinmoutb, Yer.
mont, in the month Of August, 1887.
He was thus in his 72d year at the time
of his death.
Mr.. Ives had been member OF the
craft for more than half century. He
was well known, too, as great pedestrian.
Some of those who knew him we'll remem.
ber his visit to Plattsburgh last spring,
which journey he performed on foot, in one
day, though then in his I'D year.
Few perhaps will miss the old man who
has so suddenly been taken from our
midst, but the memory of his bent form
and hasty step, his expressive face, his
ready wit and intelligence, will long linger
in our heart, nor shall we ever forget the
many virtues of him that is gone.
Requiescoint pace.

A BRAVE GIRL.-The Bangor (Me.)
Wing, tells good story about hand
some young lady who was run away with
in Lewiston on Friday last. She was,
according to the TVhig, preparing to go
to Turner in company with gentleman,
with horse and chase. They drove up
to Lisbon Block, and the gentleman got
out, leaving the lady in the chaise, and
threw the reins over the horse. The horse
almost Immediately started on a run up
Lisbon-street, down Main-street across the
toll-bridge to the Auburn side. The horse
treaded the narrow passage over the toll
bridge in safety, and, turning the corner
by the Phoenix Block, passed down River
street to Jordan's livery-stable, into which
he run, the doors being open. Not being
satisfied with his race, be plunged through
a small door atthe further end of the stable,
when the wheels of the chaise brought up
against the end of the barn, and the
whippletree broke and freed the horse,
leaving the young lady safely in the chaise.
No damage was done to the horse or
chaise, and as soon as the astonished
spectators could arrive, Miss Follett re.
quested that the horse be again harnessed,
and, as soon as this could be done, she
and her companion drove off,

age was asleep in the crib, and they con-
cluded not to disturb her. Quite early
in the morning she awOke, and, looking
toward the bed usually occupied by her
parents, saw stranger there. At first
she was startled, and covered her head
with the counterpane. Soon, however, she
peeped out and said, Man, do you pray
to God 2" "Yes," was the answer, ~
love God, and pray to him every day."
This satisfied the little enquirer; she
smiled, turned over, and dropped asleep.

The BALLOON VoYAGE-ATMospHRR1o
PHENoMENoN.-Mr. eager, one of the
participants in the late balloon voyage
says
The principal feature which the voya-
gers observed during the night, was the
prevalence about, above and under them
of a remarkable phosphorescent light,
which seemed to invest everything, and
give it peculiar appearance 1t made
the balloon look like globe of fire seen
through the oiled paper, as Wise described
it, 1t was easy to tell the woods from
the open country by the belts of black
lines which they indicated-and on cross
ing body Of water it seemed as though
the voyagers were passing between two
sheets of fame of a mellow color, which
lighted them up, and gave to their coun-
tenances and to the objects Immediately
surrounding them peculiar hue. This
phenomenon was agreeable to those who
witnessed it as it was remarkable"

"REMINISCENCES OF Louis NAPoLEoNs
HIsToRY.--The facts are not generally
known, but they are so stated in the reli-
able biographies of Louis Napoleon, that
in 1881, after the failure of the Italian
insurrection, in which he took a part,
a deputation of Polish patriots visited
him and offered the command Of the Pol
ish army. then engaged in terrific strug-
gle with Russia for the independence Of
Poland. He at first declined, owing to
the entreaties of his mother, Queen Hor-
tense, but afterwards prepared to accept
the invitation, and was only prevented by
the rapid crushing out of the insurrection.
Visions of being King of Poland and the
successor of John Sobieski, were held out
to him. In 1895, his cousin, the Queen
Of Portugal, died. The latter was
youthful widow about twenty years old.
-Overtures were made to Louis Napole-
on by the emissaries of tho Queen for him
to propose for her hand She was anxi-
Gus for his alliance.
Most men in his situation-which was
that of political exile, with little or no
hopes of ever effecting anything in France
would gladly have exchanged preca-
rious and apparently visionary dream Of
France royalty for an actual marriage
with the Queen of Portugal. But bear
ing in mind the celebrated reply of his
uncle. when, as simple lieutenant Of ar
t:llery. out of employment in Paris, he
was urged to go to the East and found
royalty in some of the semi barbarous
States of Asia-that There was fin
er throne than that acant"-Louis Ma
poleon declined the tempting offer, and
continued to look upon the glittcring prize
taken in the hands of Louis Philippe.
Not one man in a million, in his circum-
stances, would have declined the Portu.
gese royal alliance. He always looked to
France for the attainment of his ambitious
hopes. More than once he made appli-
cation to the government of Louis Philip
pc to be allowed to serve as a private in
the French army. Fearful however, of
the power of bis name among the soldiers
which subsequent events proved to be well
founded, that government would not ex.
cept the perilous recruit.
While prisoner for life in the fortress
of Ham, Louis Napoleon was offered his
liberty if he would soemnly renounce all
claim and pretensions to the throne of
France, and swear allegiance to Louis
Philippe. He had the courage and res
olution to refuse. The perseverance of
this man Napoleon his confidence through
so many years of adversely, and relience
that the " star Of his destiny" as he call.
ed it, would lead him to the imperial throne
of France, is remarkable, and borders on
moral sublimity. Itrequired the exercise
of qualities which, in any station of life
would have brought distinguishment to
their possessor.-C Cincinnati Enquirer.

POETRY.
Little Willie.

Poor little Willie,
With his many pretty wiles
Worlds Of wisdom in his looks,
And quaint, quiet smiles;
Hair of amber, toucht with
Gold of heaven so brave;
All lying darkly hid
In Workhouse Grave.
You remember little Willie;
Fair aud funny fellow he
Spring like lily
From the dirt OF poverty.
Poor little Willie !
Not friend was nigh,
When, from the cold world,
lie croucht down to die.
In the day We wandered loodless,
Little Willie cried for bread;
Ia the night we wandered homeless,
Little Willie cried for bed.
Parted at the Workhouse door,
Not word We said
Nh, 50 tired was poor Willie,
And 20 sweetly sleep the dead
Twas in the dead of Winter
We laid him in the earth
The world brought in the New Year,
On a tide Of mrth,
But, for lost little Willie,
Not tear we crave
Cold and Hunger cannot wake him,
In his Workhouse Grave.
We thought him beautiful,
Felt it hard TO part
We loved him dutiful
Down, down, poor heart
The storms they may beat
The Winter winds may rave
Little Willie feels not
In his Workhouse Grave.
No room for little Willie;
In the world ha had no part
On him stared the Gorgon-eye,
Thro' which looks no heart.
Come to me, said Heaven
And, Heaven will save,
Little matters though the door
Be Workhouse Grave.
