of being themselves cbildless, and because
of their sympathics being so greatly ex-
cited 10y the peculiar circumstance of the
case-an infant floating all that night of
terrible storm, amid wrecks aud bridges
and dwellings, protected from danger by
an unseen power, that seemed to direct

strange TO the reader that the parents were
not found for the child, or the whereabouts
OF the child made known to them, but it
must be remembered that newspapers were
not 80 numerous or accessible twenty
years or SO ago as now, and that people
didn't advertise the lost as they do now
BESIDES, all the parties were in humble
life, and their circle of acquaintance, as
we'll as their means, were very limited.
Meanwhile the waif grew into beau
tIlul girl. and became as dear to her adopt
ed parents as though she was their own.
She had mourned for t'mamma' a little
time, but, ere long, all recollection of her
early surroundings were but dim and
shadowy, and her new parents and her
( new home became all-in-aH to her a
few years and the family moved into
Illinois, settling on farm near Chicago.
The man prospered there and was enabled
to give his beautiful Ohio river Founding
an education fitting her graces OF person,
her amia5Ility and her virtues. A short
! time ago her hand was sought in marriage
by worthy young farmer in the vicinity
where she lived, consent obtained, and
the happy day appointed. One day the

Excuse me-" he said, in some confu-
sion, addressing the young lady, don't be
offended at my staring at you, but the
truth is you are perfect picture of SIS

thinking you looked just as another sister
of mine would have looked, who was
swept down the Ohio in great fresbet

Her parents, too, had emigrated to Il
linois, and lived not far from her own
home The families were brought to-
gether, and what was before believed to
be true was established beyond question,
when the bed on which the child was
found was procured, and the garments
she were ; for what frugal housewife
wouldn't recognize one of her own beds,
and what mother would not remember the
garments worn by her favorite baby?
The words attracted the attention of
the young lady's adopted parents. The

FEARFUL CALAMITY.

BURNING OF GOLD MINES IN NEvADA-V1RGNA
CITY pEsgRTED-sCENEs AROUND THE MINES
-TERTY-sN PERSONS KNOWN TO BE KILLED.
SAN FRANCISCO, April THE Yellow Jacket
Mine, e. Gold Hill, Nevada, took fire-at 1 A.
NJ, and the flames soon extended to the Ken
tuck and Crown Point Mines. Eleven bodies
we're removed and others were seen at the
bottom of the Kentuck shaft, but it was found
impossible to remove them in consequence OF
the intense heat. The latest reports fcom
Gold Hill state that thirty-six persons are
known to be dead. Hopes are entertained that
the flames will soon be subdued, but there will
be no possibility Of saving life, as the mouths
of thavmines must be closed in order to smoth-
er the confagration. Ths three mines that
are burning are unconnected with others un-
derground. Virginia City is almost deserted,
the pc ople having gone to render assistance to
the sufferers. The scene around the mouth OF
the mines was fearful, on account OF the fran
tic cries of the wives and children Of those min
ers who were supposed to be lost.

BRAIN WIYES.


We mentioned, few days ago, that writer
in the London Spectator had propounded
theory of "brain waves" to account for the ap-
pearance of persons at the point Of death to
their distant friends. He claims that there is
a kind of brain atmosphere, which extends
over the globe, and upon which the brain has
the power Of impressing undulations, just as
bell sets the air in motion, or an electric bat
terry tho electric fluid in a telegraph wire.
These waves, when they meet with sympa-
thetic organ, produce ideas and images more
or less distinct, according to circumstances.
The subject is undergoing discussion in the
columns of the Spectator, and in recent num-
ber Of the paper some facts con6rmatory OF the
theory aro advanoad. One IS the case OF q per-
son whose image was seen by his wife to enter
his house and go up stairs some two hours be-
fore his actual arrival. On inquiry it was
found that Of that moment he was mentally
imagining himself as doing the precise thing
which his apparition did. Another story is
perhaps not new to many OF our readers, but it
is sufficiently interesting to bo repeated:
Admiral Sir Thomas Williams, straight
forward and excellent man, was in command
OF q ship crossing the Atlantic ocean. His
course brought him within sight of the Island
Of Ascension, at that time uninhabted, and
neyer visited by any ship except for the pur-
pose Of collecting turtles which abound on the
coast. Tho island was barely dcscried on the
horizon, and was not to be noticed at all; but
as Sir Thomas looked at it, he was seized by
an unaccountable desire to steer toward it. He
felt how strange such wish would appear to
his crew, aud tried to disregard it, but, in vain.
His desire became more and more urgent and
distressing, and foreseeing that it would soon
be more difficult to crafty it, he told his lieu
tenant to prepare to ''put about the ship" and
steer for Ascension. The officer to whom he
spoke ventured respectfully to represent that
changing their course would greatly delay
them-that just at that moment the mon were
going to their dinner-that, at least, some de-
Law might be allowed. But these arguments
seemed to increase Captain Williams anxiety,
and the ship was steered toward the uninter-
esting little island. All eyes and spy-gasses
we're now Hxed upon it, and soon something
was perceived on the shore. ut is white-it ls
o hag-it must be signall" And when they
neared the shore it was ascertained that six
teen men, wrecked on that oast many days
before, and suffering the extren OF hunger,
had set up signal, though al ost without
hone of relief.

FROUDE ON LID UC4TION.

Mr.. Froude, the English historian, has been
appointed Rector Of the University of st. An
drew's; and on the day Of his Inauguration he
delivered an address to the students, which, in
many of it's passages, has universal appica-
ton, and especially in those which relate to
education as means Of independence.
He said there we're two ways OF being indie.
pendent. If O man required much, he must
produce much ; and if he produced little, he
must require little. He set the austere life OF
the old scholars before his audionce-the men
whose studies added nothing to the material
wealth of tho world, and who were content to
be poor. The thirty thousand students who
assembled at Paris from all parts OF europe to
hear Abelard had the use Of their own legs in
erumble because they had no money where
with to ride. They respected alike the compen-
sations of tho intellect and OF manual labor.
They had taken their stand, having made their
own choice, and did not look for wealth IN the
sphere which they had deliberately accepted,
knowing that wealth did not grow there. nor
anywhere. out of the material conditions. This
was the most important thug tor man TO
make up his mind to in the outset OF life. he
then knows what he is dong. and walks lntclll-
gently through tao world, without quarrelling
with the acts. :,
But the old system of education was all
wrong. a man Of to-day must bo tralnedto
live in to.dly-to grapple with the energies
difficulties and distractions of Tho times which
make his life. To cram lads mind with in
finite names of things which he never handled,
places he never saw or will SCI, and slate
mcnts offacts which ho could not POSSIBLY un
derstand was like loading his sto.ach win
marbes-for bread giving him stone. man
must earn his living; that was tha trImai ncces-
sity. He must maintain himself III honcst lnde-
pendence. No clucation was worth rush J., mat
did not aid a mali to do this, for the millions
must toll with their hands or the race wlll soon
cease to exist. But there would como an aTc-
Iiorotion of labor. The benefcent light when
II descended would be q light which would
MIKE labor more productive by being more
scientific. which would make tue humblest

THE $1,000, 900 BOND ROBBERY.
The Philadelphia Burglars Giving the
New York Operators Lessons--A Daz-
zling Reward.

The robbery Of over million dollars worth
of bonds and greenbacks, which was executed
on Sunday morning in Philadelphia, and
which was successfully perpetrated in build
ing situated at the thoroughfare of the south
west corner of Twelfth and Chestnut streets,
goes far to prove that the burglars trade is fast
approximating to the rank and class ofa science.
The robbery was discovered by the keeper of
q billiard table saloon, who, on going home,
saw that the window belonging to the Saving
Fund Society was open. short examination
socn disclosed the fact that the window had
been forced open, and that the large Lille fire.
proof safe had been burst and robbed. A
small safe within The large one, having four
locke, and which contained papers OF the great
est value, bad been lifted out into the floor,
and the lock having been picked, every paper
was taken from it.
THE BURGLARS TAKING THEIR OWN TINE.
The carpet OF the room was torn up in differ
ent places, and torn envelopes that contained
valuable bonds, &C., we're strewp around IN all
directions. Tho robbers had evidently been at
work several hours, for it was found that q
large pieco of timber, evidently prepared for
the purpose, HAT oeen fastened in an upright
position on the floor, near the safe door, by
means Of iron hinges screwed to the floor. AMI
behind this was prop, securely planted
against this upright post. This contrivance
was used to afford sort of support to the drill
used to drill hole into the safe door, by which
the burglars were enabled to pick the lock.
The combination lock OF the safe was knocked
off, and hole drilled through the chilled steel
forming the panels of the safe door, about
three inches to the right of the place where the
combination lock was. This hole was drilled
to the depth OF about three inches. A paper
containing powder, and different sized "bits," !"
a large brace aad bottle OF alcohol we're
found in the room, which had been left behind.
TEMPTING REWARD.
OF the securities stolen from the st. John
Beneficial Saving Fund, about $4O0. 900 were
registered bonds, not convertible. The coupon
bonds amounted to $15O 900, er which $93, 900
we're 5-20's. Mortgages to the amount of $780,
600 were not disturbed3 30 that, including re-
gistered bonds, securities and real estate the
society will have $780, 900 to meet tho claims OF
5000 depositors. Tho society offer reward Of
s25 600 for the arrest of the burglars and the re-
covery of the assets. The managers have sus-
pended payments to depositorssor tho present.
In addition to the bonds belonging to the so
ciety, there were large amount Of boxes be-
longing to private parties deposited for safety.
Valuables were in the vault with Lille COM
bination lock, which, as well as smaller safe
inside, were bored into with apparent ease.

gia, informed the delegation fro n that State
to-day, that Buffers Georgia bill will not pro-
badly oe resumed at this session, and if taken
up would certainly be defeated.

merly of the Army of Mississippi, was confirm

1t is stated that the Territorial Comm ittee
have decided to report adversely to the con-
frmation of Colonel Grow, Twenty fourth Ala
bama, as Governor OF New Mexico.
The Georgia delegation, headed by Colonel
Atkins, had private interview with the Presi-
dent to-day.
A. L. Clarke has been nominated as Assessor

PROCEEDINGS OF coNaRE ss.
In THE HOUSE, to-day, Hoge, the minority
candidate, from the Fourth South Carolina dis
trict, was seated, Reed WHO received o majority
of the votes being unable to take the test oath.
The bill authorizing the submission OF the
constitutions and the elections OF State officers
and members OF Congress. IN Virginia, Missis-
sippi and Texas. was passed by vote of 125 to
"a. It authorizes the President to order elec-
tions, at his discretion !; also authorizes him to
submit the entire constitutions or separate
provisions, and forbids elections in Texas,
until authorized by the President. The COM
manding general may, with the approval OF
the President, suspend any existing State law

Trumbull, from the Judiciary Committee,
reported a resolution postponing action On
the Residents message until December.
Trumbun stated that he personally disagreed
with the committee. Edmunds could see no
reason for del lying adjournment. The Presi-

order the elections. He thought it best to
leave those States under military control,
which protected life and property better than
they were protected in thos, States which had
been reconstructed. Howard expressed the
same views. A long discussion ensued with
out action. The bill amending the taxes on
wbiskey and tobacco was taken up, when
Sprague spoke until the Senate went into exc.
