A Child Overheard

Recently as the Staten Island ferry boat was
on her down trip from New York city, a little
Ooy, about three years OF age, who fell over
board, was rescued. The following intensely
interesting account of the occurrence we clip
from a New York paper:
The little fellow was sitting on the lower
rope of the guard, near the pilot house aft
A woman who had ca kes for sale wished 10 PASS

Tor her, he lost his balance and went over.
scream OF horror came from all who saw il.
and the sister and brother were well nigh para
lyzed with fright. A gentleman who sat near
hurried TO the pilot house, and notified the pilot.
child overheard ! In an instant the bell
changed N the engineers room, wheels and
rudders were reversed, the pilot hastened To
the other pilot house, and the boat went back
with all speed, following the wake she had
mus leit a steamboat was seen coming down
the bay and crossing our track about halfa
mile off, at about the point where the child went
over. Every effort was made to signal them to
stop, shout upon shout went over the water
from hundred voices, hats and handkerchief
were used with downward movement: but.
strange to say It was interpreted TO he what il
dId not resemble, and these signs Of warning
and distress were answered by cheers and the
waving of handkerchicfs. This was followed
by loud moan Of disap pointment, and cries Of
| There, they have run over him. All hope of
saving the boy seemed stfed but the returning
boat kept on, feeling her way cautiously, when
presently little body, stiff, buoyant, and face
upward. A thrill OF hopeful expectation of a
rescue was felt by the hundred anxious passen-
gers There he isl There he isr Slack

TO show the engines, when tall, spare ma n
was seen divestIng himself of hat, coat, vest
and boots. He dropped himself from the upper
to the lower forward deck; went over the
! guards, hung down by his hands, and dropped
into the water just as the boat was about
coming in contact with the body. She had a

boat was lowered. The Gentleman seized the
latter with one hand laid the boy in with the
other, got in himself, and commenced at once
to roll and rub him. Presently they were
taken on board; the child was heard to cry.
and the glad news, He is alive = lie will be
saved" went from mouth to mouth until everv
face beamed with q smile ofintense satisfaction.
The sister and brother came forward excited
and in tears. They assisted to dvest him of
his drenched clothing; a blanket was brought
in which be was wrapped, and the efforts to
recuscIlate were diligently pushed. The child
was restored to consciousness, and his CHIEF
complaint was thus expressed, Papa, fell in
water and lost my hat.

Iery' still the Prussians al the moment were so
panic stricken that they surrendered the strong
fortress to weak cavalry force. Remberg, the
commander, had six thousan nd men, one hun.
dred and fifty cannon, and plenty of provisions.
Napoleon was SO astonished at the result, that
he wrote Murat, jestingly, "that he would melt
his guns, as Prussan fortresses were best ia.
ken by cavalry.
1t must be observed that these strange pam
les, every one of them which took place among
veteran regular troops, were without cause.
They did not, as at Bull Run, follow severely
fought battle, where the enemy was reinforced,
but from effect of pure halucination of the
mind. Besides these mentioned instances of
PanIcs, our disaster at Bull Run properly takes
It's place as repulse of reconnaissance in
force. 1t was nothing more. ana would never
have assumed other importance if twenty-four
hours had elapsed before any report had been
made to the people. We repeat that in every
instance the panic-stricken European soldiers
subsequently, fought with superior valor; in
the case OF our own troops, Bull Run will serve
as stimulus to new deeds Of heroic action

Panic Stricken Soldiers.

The most remarkable case of panic is of such
recent occurrence that it must be familiar with
most intelligent people. At the battle of Sol.
ferno, French crops of fifteen thousand
picked troops ran some fifteen miles back to
Bresca, because five struggling Austrian hus.
sars suddenly appeared on the road, their OBJ.
Ject being to surrender themselves as prisoners
TO the French. A graphic description of this
most disgraceful affair was published at the
time, from the pen of II. J. Raymond, of the
Times, who saw the panic.
The battle of Rosbach, which was fought
November 5, 1857, bears resemblance in manv
particulars to Bull Run. On the occasion re.
ferred 10, Frederick the Great, with TWENTY-FIVE
thousand men, attacked the combined army Of
the French and Imperialists ffty.four thousa nd
strong, under the command Of the French
Duke de SOnbise. Two French Regiment.
fought for half hour, and then the whole ar.
my began to waVer, and finally the entire force
broke, abandoning arms, artillery, and camp
equipage. The route was continued for more
than forty miles from the battle field.
Panics have even seized men in fortified
camps and cities. After the battle of Jena
October, 1906, Murat came with three cavalry
regiments before the Fortress Steittin, and
asked an unconditional surrender. He had
stiange as it may seem, no infantry or arlil.

A WOman's Adventures.

Harriet COlburn was charged with disorder!y
conduct. The particular offence was quarrel
ing with negro with whom she lived. There
was history attached TO her case-one OF
those histories of real life which occasionally
come to light in the police court, aud almost
suFpass beiiefin their strange details. Twelve
years ago she was the cherished daughter of a
Southern planter at Nashville, Tennessee.
Her mother was Creole, but was the lawful
wle OF her father. AT thirteen ehe ran away
from her home with the son of a New York
merchant, named Clifford, and was married to
him.
Within year she was mother and n wild
ow, her husband having Died in CALIFORNIA,
WhIthertshe had accompanied him. She came
home aud returned to her fathers house, where
she was kindly received. She remained there
year or two, and during her stay assisted
four Of her fathers slaves 10 escape, through
sympathy with their desire for freedom. She
married again with her fathers choice. Her
husband proved to be a drunkard, and she OBJ
tanned a divorce from him. She married a
third time, still with the consent and advice OF
her father, and was again deceived. Her last
husband, whose name she now bears, proved
her rum. lie was a Mississippi gambler, and
tor twelve months she accompanied him up
and down the river, dressed In boys clothes,
and passing for his brother.
Sac finally left him, driven away by constant
abuse. and threw herself upon the world for
support. Her first effort was as brakeman, in
, which capacity she served on the Chicago and
Burlington railroad for three months. Ths
was STA weeks ago. From that she drIf!ed into
| the vortex Of sin, which every unprotected
woman tiads in a large city sooner cr later.
She went down hill I'LL tho lowest round OF
the ladder was reached. She met, accdenlly,
with one of the slaves whom she had aided to
! escape years before, and has lived with him
ever since in unlawful connection. This negro
IS her tathtr'S OtOn SON by a slave woman, and
by natural ties is her brother. There is no
law, however, which sanctions that relation
ship.
She was intelligent, and showed by her con-
versaton that she had seen better days. Traces
| Of former good looks were visible, and a strong,
robust frame proved that dissipation had as yet
had but little effect upon her body, but her mind
was, what the minds Of all fallen women are,
wreck and a ruin. Al the early age Of TWEEN.

! the lowest of Gods creatures. She was sent
to Bridewell for twenty days. She s'ormed a

CHOICE POETRY.
BONNETS.

OfsiI the charms dear woman wears,
OF ell her manly traps aud snares;
For real effect there's naught compares
With truly pretty bonnetI
Fer when or wherever you chance to meet
One that is perfectly modest and neat,
Yea my depend tits proof complete
That the head has more in than on it.
No matter whether she's pretty or not,
Hos much or how little money she's got,
Whether she lives in a mansion or cot,
It's face, depend upon it;
The woman to make man happy shrO' life,
To make 4 model mother and wife,
IL one who, scorning the miliner's strife,
Wears plain and tasteful bonnet.
Nov bonnet Of genuine beauty and grace,
wOru on the head in its proper place,
Shsdswiag slightly the wearers face,
as the thing for q song or a sonnet"
Bat one of those gay and gaudy things,
Made up of rainbows and butterfly wings,
mixture of flowers, ribbons and strings,
Is dreadful-depend upon it.
AVulgsr mess Of fuss and feather"
A little Of everything thrown together,
Az ifby touch of windy weather,
A wretched congloneration-
A sort Of cup TO catch the hair,
Leaving the head to "go il bare"
A striking example of "NOtLing TO wear,"
Is the bonnet abomination.
II makes woman look bra zen and bold,
Assists her in catching nothing bat cold.
IL Is bad on the young, absurd on the old,
Aad defOrms what it ought to deck;
For. lcok at her face, no bonnet is there,
See. at the side, it hangs BY hair
View it behind, and you will declare
That the creature has broken her neck.
Ne matter where you may chance to be,
Ne nsIier how many women you see,
srOmiseuous crowd or certaia she,
Ysa may fully depend upon il;
Tkst gem ofthe rarest kind,
pet for which we long have pined
thing most difficult to fad,
Isa perfect love OF bonnet.
