Acary thirteen years ago there
lived on tile banks OF the Ohio, but a
few milcs from Louist lille, man by
the name of Henry G. Danforth, the
family consisting of himself, wife and
one child, daughter, only little
more than two years old.
One day the child escaped the
yigilant eye Of the mother, and wan
dered from the house. Search was
made, but no trace could be found of
their prattling darling, until reach
ing the banks Of the river. her little
bonnet was found near the margin
Of tie water. Then, indeed, the lit
tie one was mourned as dead, and
only mothers heart can fathom
the agony of the bereayed parents.--
Other children came to take the place
Of the lost one at the freside, and
the first storm Of grief at the terrible
afiliction had given place to quiet
admission; still the blue, dancing
waters Of the Ohio always caused
sadness to their bereiyed hearts.
Five years ago the family removed
70 st Louis, where they have resided
ever since. Saturday Mr. Danforth
received an anonymous letter from
Kansas City, urging him to come up
Immediately, it he Wished to find his
daughter, whom he supposed was
drowned thirteen years before. He
arrived in the city OF Monday last,
and proceeded to the place dc sig
mated III the letter, aud found wo
man whom he had known in Other
days, rapidly nearing the grave, and
a young girl in attendance upon her.
She pointed TO the child Immediately
upon his entrance, saying, "that is
vour drowned child" and entered
upon nm explanation which convinced
him 81 the truth of her words.
II seems he himself was the limo
cent cause oftle affair. The woman
lad loved him previous to his mar
riaae and Wien The words we're
spoken binding him 10 another, all
the worst passions Of her nature were
Il. ouscd, aud she determined upon
some revenge. and bow faithfully she
executed her intention. the above
ia Is will testify. She had kept her,
seli inf5rn ed of his whereabouts, and
when che knew that death would
shortly claim her as lie victim, she

father on finding the dead alives

always treated her as she would hay,

The result was, that last Thnrsdal

ieres South of Sedan was the first Bavarian
corps and east across the Meuse was the sec
ond Bavarian corps. The Saxons were on
the northeast with the Guards. l was with
the King throughout the day on the hill above
St. Meuse, commanding a splendid view of
the valley of the Meuse and the field. After
a tumultuous battle, the Prussians having
completely surrounded Sedan and the Bavar-
ians having entered the Notifications of Sc
dan, the Emperor capitulated at 5-15 2. M.
His letter to the King of Prussia said:
Gas l cannot die at the head of my army l
lay my sword at the feet of your Majesty
Napoleon left Sedan for the Prussiau head
quarters at Vendres, at o'clock on the morn
ing of Sept. I'd. McMahon's whole army,
comprising 100000 prisoners, capitulated
without condition. The Prussians had 240,-
900 men engaged, or in reserve, and the
French 120,0 900.
A special correspondent of the Tribune tel
egraphs from Aron Friday afternoon-Every
hotel here is filled with French refugees from
across the frontier The frontier villages are
crowded and it is difficult to obtain anything
to eat. $50 French and 100 German soldiers
while trespassng the Belgian territory were
made Prisoners and will be conducted to Ma
min tonight | saw, also, the Paris refugees
on the traiu tonight They are not Germans
but Luzembergers. who were expelled from
Paris on account of their poverty. The Par
isians are preparing for a famine by expelling
all foreigners not possessed of means for their
support. The poor French are retained if
able bodied for military service, if not they
are sent to the country The Paris fortifca-
tons are completed Gen. Trochu is virtually
Dictator. My informant left Paris on the I'd
of Sept. To-day is the last day of grace.
London is wild with delight over the Prus-
sian triumph. The street for hours was filed
with excited multtudes. Englishmen con-
gratuate each other as if there had been an
English victory. The sympathies with Prus-
sia were never so strongly manifested. The
news of the surrender was published here by
the Daily News in an extra, at about 1870
this morning. Other papers soon followed.
Placards were posted everywhere in the
streets, and thousands of dispatches sent il
every direction. The Pail Mall Gazette says
that the news is believed as final. If the En-
peror hopes by hastily patched up peace to
find means to transfer the throne to his son,
it is the last and greatest delusion of his life
of delusions. He may find it easies to begin
than to end a war. Peace is by no means yet
certain. There is no government to make
peace. Imperialism is dead. An Orleans
government or Republic can hardly begin
by surrender. France has for the first time
to act. Her eyes are for the first time opened.
A despatch from Sedan via. Bouillon, Sept.
2, midnight, says-The die is cast SO far as
McMahon's fine army and the fortunes of the
Empire are concerned. All is over with
France.
Special to Herald
1t is reported that upon receipt of the news
of the surrender of Napoleon and McMahon

to report what course they pursued in open
ing their schools. Listened to reports from
Rev. Mr.. Wilson of Bridgton, Rev. Mr.. Sted-
man of Nobleboro', Dea. Henry Kennedy OF
Waldoboro', E. Z. Weeks, Luther NJ. Ken
nedy, Alfred Bessee and Miss Bodge of JEFF
ferson, which were very interesting from the
fact that most all seemed to differ.
! Superintendent Farnum then declared the
school open for the transaction of business.
The school was then formed into classes with
their respective teachers, and general les
son given from Matt chap. 23 to the %
verses inclusive. At the close of the lesson
the superintendent requested the teachers to
report in what manner they conducted their
classes, what questions asked and how an
swered. The reports were short and pointed.
Adjourned till z. NJ. Benediction by Rev.
Mr.. Stetson of Waldoboro. During the in
termission Il bountiful collation. was provided
by the ladies of Jefferson. At this time all
seemed to be particularly interested.
At one p. M. the Institute was called to
order. First, Superintendent Farnum re-
versed the order from the A. NJ. and request
ed the scholars to report in what manner the
teachers conducted their classes, and various
reports were given, one of which, by Mr..
Newell Winslow of Waldoboro we would
make special mention: 'sThat our teacher was
more interested in ascertaining the dimen-
tions of the ship than the salvation of the
crew.
Various questions were asked by different
persons pertaining to the advancement of Sab
bath Schools, which were very interesting
and instructive. Superintendent Farnum
then introduced the "Blackboard System"
which proved to be very instructive, perhaps
little more instructive than interesting.
Earnest remarks from different persons, one
of which was stirring and elaborate address
on temperance and the usefulness of the tenn
perance pledge in Sabbath Schools. On mo-
superintendent for the very able, efficient and
interesting manner in which he had conducted
the exercises of the session; also to the Pres
ident and Secretary, for their services during
the day.
Good music was furnished by the scholars
under the direction of Mr.. Alfred Bessee,
Mr.. Samuel J. Bond and Mrs. Ellen NJ. Lin

New Blasting Material.

There has already been a wonderful trans
formation at Togus since it became the site of
the National Military Asylum; grand asy-
lum, fine edifices, barns, workhouses, store
houses, etc., have risen as if by magic, in
the midst of magnificent meadow-which is
reclaimed bog,-and where boils up per-
renially the celebrated mineral water. But
as vet there is an air of unfinishedness about
the premises, which will be overcome as the
projects which have matured in the mind Of
Gen. Tilton are carried forward to completion.
Extensive and important operations are now
in progress, and the charm of industry per-
vades the entire broad domain A capacious
beautiful meadow east of the asylum is to be
newly diked-the former meandering brook
is to be superseded by a straight and tho
roughly constructed dixie leading from near
the Spring House to the Hallowell and Wind
sor road, and from thence through canal
which is now being excavated, to the lower
land south. This canal will be at least two
hundred feet long and is being dug through a
very hard, fiinty ledge to the depth of about
six feet On Friday afternoon number of
interesting blasts was ,tfscted on this canal,
conducted by Carl Dittmar who desired to test
in the presence Of Gen. Tilton the blasting
material called dualin, recently introduced
into this country from Germany. MIR. Dit
mar was assisted by Gen. Tilton's accomplish
ed engineer, Mr.. Clemens Herschel, and the
e4oI a
character of dualin for blasting purposes
and its superiority over both powder and nitro
glycerne. 1t possesses about fifteen times
the explosive power of powder, and can be
handled with impunity. 1t is made to ex-
plode by spark and conclusion, applied
simultaneously by means of simple electri-
cal machine, located at safe distance from
the spot where the explosion is desired. Sew
en- holes, which had been drilled into the
ledge, were charged with dualin, then con-
nected by what we may term printing wires,
these wires being finally joined to the long
wire leading to the electrical machine. The
seven charges went off simultaneously, very
much like small volcano, dislodging large
amount of rock, and breaking it into small
pieces Seven more holes we're charged with
the same effective result; the solid ledge was
completely torn in pieces to the depth of at
least four feet. Holes were charged separat-
" and exploded, with remarkable results.
The experiments seem to show pretty conclu-
sively that dualia is bound to become popular
for blasting purposes in this country. 1t has
been known in the United States less than six
months 1t is far more safe to handle than
either powder or nitro -glycerine, and is spoken
of as being much less expensive. Our report
er was very favorably impressed with its utili-
ty, as manifested in the above mentioned cx-
periments.

Geo. w. Jones of this city, is agent for the
"IIall Treadle," a neat contriyance which can
be applied to all first-class sewing machines.
1t is calculated to reduce the labor of running
the machines. The use of the crank is entire-
ly dispensed with, and the whole power to
drive the machine is applied to the downward
motion of the toe, the foot pivoting upon the
heel, and entirely doing away with the old
heel -and-toe movement. 1t is a labor-saving
and health preserving invention, because of
the perfect ease with which it operates, the
very slight pressure of the foot that sets it in
motion, its simplicity Of construction and 40
ton, and its practical durability. Jones will
be glad to show the machine in operation.
