The Late Freshets i'm Kansas.

Adyices from Kansas. in relation to the
late storm and freshets in that state, say
IN the neighborhood of Junction City and
west of there the food is reported greater
than any Other since the settlement of the
state. Bridges have be n carried away,
houses destroyed. and many lives lost
The greatest disaster occurred at Chap
mans Greek, thirteen miles west of june
ton City, where several houses were washed
away and thirteen persons were known to
be drowned, and it is supposed thata num-
Der of others, had. perished. .rhe rise in
the stream was SO sudden and unexpected d
that before tho residents in the valley were
aware of the danger, their dwellings were
surrounded with water and all chance of
escape cut of. 1t was reported that num-
bers had escaped by climbing trees, and in
that situation were awaiting the decline of
the flood.
At Manhattan, fourteen dead bodies had
been seen floating down the -river. The

pontoon bridge and the bridge of the At :

either severely damaged or in danger. In
other sections of the country many of the
streams are full. If the present weather
continues the crops Will be BADLY damaged
There has been great destruction by the
freshet to the bridges and track of the Kan

er to Manhattan, and q loss of thirty lives
is reported. No mail trains have arrived

with excitement, she sank upon the nearest
chair to rest.
Her story had evidently made very
great impression upon the compapy preS.
ent. But Lyon Berners suddenly exeiaim.
ed: 0-N0i'''ii III
Good Heavens that lady's mistaken

lowed the murderer to escape But it NAV
not yet be too late Some clue may be leit
In her room by which we NAV trace the
criminal Come, neighbors, and let as
search the premisis''
And Lyon Berners leaving the shudder-
ing women of the party in the room with
Sybll and the dead, and followed by all the
men, went to search the house and grounds
for traces of the assassin.
But the search proved fruitless. No
trace OF an intruder could be found. nor
was there any evidence of robbery. Fur-
thermore, all the windows were fastened ON
me inside There had been no aoay of enter
ing the murdered 1oOndn's room ercept bJ The
staircase leading from SybIs chamber.
Captain Pendleton, an old lover of Syb-
lls, and brother of Beatrix. saw that
there was no safety except in instant fiigh;.
de whispered Lyon to take Sybil to her
room, and then to meet him on the back
piazza. This was done, and then the can
tam unfolded his already matured plans.
Lyon adopted them at once: and under the
skiliful management of Captain Pendlctop
and Beatrix, they got out OF the house m
seen, and were soon on their way towards a
place OF concealLSsnt, known as the Ham.

rors awaited them.

Ike Baby ShOw-Award of Prizes.
From the Boston Herald r

The exhibition of babies, which was com
menced on the 18th instant at the fremont
Temple, and terminated on Monday even
ing last, proved complete and gratifying
success. On Saturday there was an unex-
pected influx of chubby, lean, handsome
and homely infants to the show, and the
exhibition was really interesting.
1riplets.-A set of triplets born at North
BrookGeld, Mass, was exhibited on the
closing days. They were of Celtic parent
age, fourteen monts old, and weighed when
ushered into existence twenty-three pounds
The family name of their father was Cough.
Ian, and they were ehristened Nellie Hope,
Norah Faith and Hannah Charity. They
were awarded the first premium.
Trims. = There were eight sets on exhi-
bition, and James l. Duval and George W.
Duval, pretty and promising double
team" aged three years, and sons OF
George W, and Mary E. Duval, of Chelsea,
carried OF the palm ana the principal pre-
MUM.
Hmdssmest children. one-hun-
dred and ffty.six little ones, eighty OF
whom were girls and the remainder bows,
were placed on exhibition, and although
the maternal predecessors Of great many
of the children considered their ova the
sweetest, Iovehest, prettiest dears under
the sum-" only one representative Of each
sex received premiums. These were Alice
Z. Stratton, a charming female infant
twenty months old. whose father A. E.
Stratton of this city, lost both arms at the
battle of Pittsburg landing in June, 1862,
and a three year old boy named Clarence
E. Mcclure. son of Rebecca Mcclure of
this city.
Smallest Girl-The first premium in the
department for small children was award
ed to dimininutive specimen of feminini-
ty named Alice Hillock, of Charlestown,
aged two months and five DAYS, who weigh
ed, upon making her debut upon the
worlds stage, but one pound, She now
weighs TOUR and quarter pounds.
Obese Children first premium for
fat children was awarded female infant
nine months old, named n. r. Ashe, of
Somerville.
In addition to these premiums each child
on exhibition received a silver-plated COB
let or mug.
Mr.. st. John, the manager of the show
will offer premiums for colored babies in a
few Gays, and the exhibition will take place
at Horticultural Hall, probably on fnds-
pendenee Day.

The Baby Woman.

A New York paper has the following ac-
count of Sophia Gantz, the Baby Woman,
as she was exhibited in that city recently.
She is not quite four years old
The mother nowled her daughter around
through the spectators. and, of course, her
appearance excited o great deal of wonder
The girl wore a red silk dress, which being
cut low, showed the breast to be fully de-
yeloped. She has tottering step, which
DIR. Newton said arose from the weight up
on the legs and the unusual development
of the body being beyond their strength
She had, in fact become quite
bow-legged. She has face of very
pleasing appearance, showing the full ex-
preston of the child. She had long dark
eurls which flowed upon her shoulders.
The skinwas dark but of child-like softness
The eyes are jeS black. Her height is thirty
eight inches and she weighs thirty
eight pounds. She measures twen-
ty-three and half inches around
the hips, and ten and one-half
inches from the anterior superior spurious
process of one illum to that of its fellow. The
canienIa occurs regularly, and has done so
since she was three years old. 1t is strange
freak of nature, and the medical gentleman
took much interest in the case. 1t may be
mentioned that the child was born in Gin
cinnati, and is the youngest of family of
six children, four of whom are boys about
whom there is nothing unusual. The
mother is of the medium size.

What the Features Indicate,

We are told that the extremes of both
largeness and smallness of statue are not
favorable to the strength of intellect
Giants and dwarfs are generally deficient
In this respect, and excessive corpuleney
or meagreness is seldom associated with
mental activity. Aristotle and Boraparte,
however, were very short, Charles James
Fox was exceedingly fat, Daniel Webster
both broad and tall, and Lord Nelson liy-
ing skeleton.
A large head is generally the accompani-
ment of great intellect; but q small one
with comparatively extensive forehead is
quits consistent with mental capacity.
Raphael, Charles XXI, Frederick the
Great, and Lord Brougham were illustra-
tons of the latter fact.
1t is said that any nose which is less
than the height of the forehead is an indi-
cation of the defective intellectual power.
The eyes indicate character rather by
color thar form. The dark blue are found
most commonly In persons of q gentle and
refined character. Light blue and gray in
the rude and energetic. Lavater saws:
Hazel eyes are the more usual Indications
OF mind masculine, vigorous and pro-
found; just as genius, SO called, is almost
always associated with eyes of yellowish
cast Dorderlng on hazel
The higher the brows rise the more their
possessor is supposed to be under the in
fiuence OF feeling, and the lower the better
controlled by his reason.
A very small eyebrow is an indication of
want of force Of character.
IL tolerably large mouth is essential to
vigor and energy, and very small mouth
is indicative of weakness and Incidence.
In a manly face, the upper lip should ex-
tend beyond and dominate the lower.
Fleshy bps are oftener found associated
with voluptuous, and meagre ones with a
passionate nature.
The retreating chin indicates weakness,
the perpendicular strength, and the sharp,
acuteness of mind.

CHAPTER ".
THE RoBBER cHIEFrArN.
He was the mildest hammered man
That ever ecr1ttled shin or emf "A throat

de was the mldeet hammered man
That ever scuttled ship, cut throat.
Sybil had passed the day in the robbers
den with her strange companion, who as
tonished her by stating that the captain oi
the band had been present at her masquer.
ade. Late in the afternoon, dinner was
announced, at which several of the robbers
appeared, with Moloch, gigantic ruffian,
at their head. Moloch was the lieutenant
of the band, and in the absence of the cap
tain, ruled with brutal sway. Becoming in-
famed with wine, he took seat by the side
of Sybil, threw his arm about her, and at
tempted te imprint kiss upon her lips.
Sybil struggled in terror, and the gypsy
girl cried ont:
.sMeni why don't You interfere? He is
rude to the lady !"
''we never meddle between other men
and their sweethearts. Do we, mates?
called out one. s F

And the robber captain stood among
them as if he had just risen from the earth
Moloch dropped Sybil and covered in the
most abject manner.
Sybil looked up and turned cold from
head to foot; for in the handsome, stately
graceful form of the brigand chief, she
recognized the finished gentleman who,
in the character of death had danced
with her at her own mask ball, and-the
probable murderer of Rosa Blondelle.
While the walls of the cavern seemed
whirling around Sybil, the robber captain
calmly came up to her, lifted his hat and
said:
esprit of fire, I am happy to welcome
you to your own appropriate dwelling
place." and then, without expecting an an
swer, he turned to Moloch, and said in his
smoothest tones:

AParis Hotel.

An American, who is doing up Paris.
writes: 1t is nine o'clock in the morning
We step out of one of the doors of the
Grand Hotel. What is the Grand Hotel ?
palace in which, especially since the last
subjugation, the Kings of the earth have
dwelt; world in miniature; hotel
with seven hundred chambers, sixty
walters, thirty cooks, twenty-five washer
women, and an army of door-keepers,
grooms, chambermaids, and house SER
rants. "An hotel" do say? A town
father-built from the ground upward, and
by no means a small town, for it numbers
one thousand two hundred inhabitants.
This town has telegraph bureau, pneu-
matic railroad and postoffice. It has its own
cafe, its own cigar stores, its own op-
tcian, its own barber, its own saloon. its
own tailor's shop, where, as every inhabi-
tant is informed soon after his arrival.
estate uniforms are embroidered" 1t has
its own bookstore, and in the name of all
that is good, what has it not?v It has its
own newspaper-La Gazette des Estran-
gers-written and printed in the hotel, and
edited by the famous Henri de Pere, who
is renowned ss q writer, and more renown-
ed as duelist. But do not be afraid ofth
paper. 1t is very witty and very amusing,
and is every morning gratuitously placed
yet wet from the press, in each room of the
hotel The town which contains all these
wonders is five stories high. Each story
has three districts or quarters Quarter de
Scribe, Quarter de Boulevard and Quarter
de lOpera-
1t has fifteen streets, on tne corners of
which tin plate informs you of the name
and number, as in any other city. But
what model streets these are They are
nicely covered with carpets, adorned with
mirrors, pleasantly warmed in winter, COM
fortably shady in summer, full of amuse-
ment BY day, and at night as splendidly IL
Eliminated as q ball saloon One can i'm
agine that with its fifteen streets, and l, 200
inhabitants, the place must be very noisy.
The quietnos that prevails is one of its OBJ
jects of admiration. No servants bearing
trunks, loaded, as was the ark of Noah,
pass up the stairs with laundering noise
No walters run to and fro in haste and con-
fusion. Platforms ascend from the lowest
to the highest story, and quietly convey
baggage and persons to the desired point.
The electric telegraph does the rest.
