A Heart-Rending EpisOde.

The London Morning Herdlfs mill
tary correspondent gives the following
story:
A farmer, living in a hamlet near
Possnitz, had a wife and two children,
and such was the woman's terror of the
Prussians, when she heard they were
coming, that her husband, TO satisfy her,
placed her in an underground cellar,
with her two little ones, and built up the
doorway, leaving some food inside. The
Prussians entered the place, and, among
others, obliged this poor man to accom-
pany them, with his horse and cart, for
a days journey, they said. Butthe man
was brought on from place to place, and
at last, when be was suffered to return
and reached his own house, several days
Lad elapsed. On the way back he began
to calculate how little food had been left
with his wife and children; and, horror
stricken at the dreadful thought that
their cries might not be heard, bis hair is
said to have turned whi- on his home
award journey. His fears were but too
reaL He tore down the masonry,
searched for those so dear TO him, but
only found three lifeless bodies, half de-
voured BY rats. Reason left him at the
dreadful sight, and he is now in hospital,

Radical 1deas-Plenty of Abolition.

Wendell Phillips was present and made
a speech at the Ladies Thirty third
Anti Slavery Subscription Anniver-
sary," held in Boston last week. The
points of his speech were;
|. The duties of the anti-slavery men,
at the present time, were to keep up the
public purpose to white heat, and never
allow it to fall one degree below its pres.
ent determination. The masses must be
kept up to revolutionary heat.
2. Action on impeachment should be
taken at once, as there is no surety that
the public thermometer would be, at the
next general election, so high as at pres.
ent.
3. "He did not want to punish Mr.
johnson he only wanted his room. The
President, and every other power [Su.
preme Court that indicates treason
against the Northern idea, must be re-
moved"
4. "The Legislative branch must alb
sorb the Government, and save it by
absorption"
Redpath, another Radical leader, is
out in the .Anti- Slavery Standard for
three things, which he urges in the cause
of f''progress and improvement"
l. The abolition of the Supreme Court
of the United States
q The abolition of the Senate of the
United States.
g. The abolition of the army of the
United States.

wood, in Boston, on Heroism," she re-
ferred to an incident that took place at
the burning of steamer on one of the
Western lakes: Among the few pas.
sengers whose courage and presence Of
mind rose superior to might, was a
mother who succeeded in saving he- two
children by the means ofa floating settee.
While they were in the water, the mother
saw man swimming toward the settee,
and as he was about to grasp it she cried,
Don't take it from the poor children !
The man made no answer, yet the appeal
struck home for, by the light of the
flaming vessel, she could see that his face
was convulsed by the struggle between
the mighty primal instinct of nature and
something better and holier. 1t was but
a moment He threw up his hands with
a groan of remuneration, flung himself
over backward, and went down."

man, who broke through near the south.
western shore, fell so that his head and
chest rested on a large block Of ice, while
his feet were in the water. There he lay
smoking his pipe for long time while
the boats were farther out picking up as
fast as possible those who were in a worse
position. He began, however, to realize
his position, and taking his pipe from
his mouth called out: Fifty pounds to
any one who will fetch me out Scve-
raj abortive attempts we're made TO reach
him with ropes, poles and ladders. A
man, with the aid Of ladder, reached a
small piece of sound ice, and endeavored
to throw a rope to him, but it fell short.
He then managed to push the ladder on
to piece of ice farther out, and stand
ing on it he again threw the rope. In
doing so he fell, and in clinging to the
ladder hurt himself and was drawn ashore.
A gentleman then got into an escape,
fitted up with barrels at the end. When
pushed out as far as possible he got into
the water and endeavored to push the es-
cape along, but he did not succeed.
Eventually man stripped to his shirt
and trousers, and rope having been
fixed to his waist, he desperately fought
his way through the ice, and seizing the
skater around the body, they were both
dragged to land amid tremendous cheers.
A man named Moore, who received a
medal two years ago for saving people
under similar circumstances, was very
active, and saved several persons. Just
as one of the boats approached sufferer
he sank, but young man in the boat
plunged after him into the water, and
brought him up. They we're both get
into the boat. Mr.. Wenzell, the proprie-
tor Of the boat, was most energetic in his
efforts, and many persons are indebted
to him for their lives
A young man stood on solitary piece
of ice in the centre of the lake for an
hour and half, and was at last fetched
off by man in a boat Within about
half an hour Of the breaking of the ice,
large bodies of police began to arrive,
and rendered great assistance in drag
ging ropes that had been caught by some
of those in the water, in fetching and
launching boats, and keeping idlers back.
All this time the excitement was kept up
by the frequent sinking of those who had
lost all power to support themselves.

M EMPHIS. TENNESSEE. MONDAY E

Many Of the planters, on the Arkansas
river, have not been able TO gather their
cotton crops The negroes having made
es much money as they wanted, or rather
to show their independence, quit work
about three weeks before Christmas and
following the example Of their former
masters, crowded the steamboats,, en-
route for New Orleans, Memphis, etc.,
on pleasure trips, to enjoy the Christmas
holidays. The planters we're offering
one hundred dollars month per hand
and board, for gathering cotton, but
could get no laborers, and were com
PEELED, in many instances, to turn their
stock in on fields that contained four or
five hundred pounds Of cotton per acre.

Faots about Tobacco.

There is no climate where tobacco is
not used, no nationality which has not
adopted it. European, Turk, Chinaman,
Indian, African and Cannibal Islander,
all use this wonderful vegetable. Bota-
nists state that there are forty distinct
species of this weed, which seems highly
probable. The weed was first introduced
into France in 1909, and since that time
has gradually come into use among all
nations. The total annual production of
tobacco has been estimated at 100000
tons The whole amount of wheat con-
sumed annually in the British islands is
four and one-third millions of tons, so
that the tobacco burned aud chewed in
the world annually weighs nearly as
much as the wheat used to feed the popu-
lation of Great Britain.
