THE SAD STORY OF AN ENGLISH
GOvERNNEss.

Readers of English novels will remember
the sad pictures of the life of governess in
England. Here is an extract from the police
reports of late London journal, tracing
story of real lifo:--
An inquiry has been held by Mr.. Richards,
deputy coroner in London, relative to the
death, under very deporabe circumstances,
of Anne Dawken, aged sixty.three years,
formerly governess Sarah West, 81 George
yard, Whitechapel said that on Monday
morning last, at half-past one o'clock, the
deceased came into the passage of the house
in which witness lived, to lie down on the
boards. She was stranger to all in the
place. The boys who inlest the place, and
who, many of them, stay "thieying about"
all night long kept pulling deceased about,
she appearing to be drunk The street door
to witness house was always open, and as
people often came in to lie on the boards of
the passage, witness took little notice of the
affair, but the police came and carried the
deceased away. Police Constable Brady.
sOS ii, said that he found the deceased in
The passage referred to Mt four O'Clock on
Monday morning, and lie had her removed
TO the Whitechapel workhouse. She did
not appear to be drunk, but she had evident
" been severely hurt by falls. DIR. f. Rich
hIusoll shlu lnut nc saw the uecea sed after
her admission to the workhouse. She had
two black eyes, and was bruised on the left
side of the skull. She died next day. Ii
was then found that the right side Of her
skull had been dreadlully fractured, and that
she had died in consequence of injury to the
brain. She did not appear TO have been
drinking when brought into the house. .--
Hannah Brown, nurse to the Whitechapcl
workhouse, said that she knew the deceased
from having been formerly an inmate of the
workhouse. She had been goyorness and
was very well educated She was married
to commercial traveller, and upon his
death became goyerness in private families.
When she got old she had to come into the
workhouse, Some three months aro she
received post-oillce order for e5, and she
left the house. When the money was rone
she endeayored to support herself by selling
luciiers about the streets and in public.
houses On being brought in by the police
on Monday last, she was just able to tell
witness that, having had some drink. she
had fallen and been seriously injured
When in the workhouse previously She was
Il very quiet, respectable person The coro-
ner having remarked upon the case, the Jury
returned verdict, "That deceased died from
fracture of the skull, but how the said frac
ture was occasioned there was no evidence
to prove"

A PYRAMID IN THE WEsT.-A party of
five young men, while on an exploring ex-
pedition recently along the Colorado river.
discovered an immense pyramid on a barren
plain. 1t was composed of layers OF stone
from eighteen inches TO nearly three feet
IN thickness, and from five to eight feet in
length. 1t had a level top of more than fitty
feet square, though it was evident that it had
been completed, and that some great con.
yulsion OF nature had displaced its entire ton.
as it was evidently lying on one of It's sides.
a huge and brokenmass nearly co vered bv
the sand. Its present length is one hundred
and four feet and it must have been formerly
full twenty feet higher. This pyramid dif.
fers In some respects from the Egyptian pyra-
mlds. II is, or was, more slender or pointed:
and while those of Egypt are composed Of
steps or layers, receding as they rise, this
American pyramid was, undoubtedly. more
finished structure. The outer surface Of the
blocks was evidently cut to an angle thai
gave the structure, when new and complete,
u smooth or regular surface from top to hot.
