AN OLD familiar story is brought to mind
by the death of Bishop Kemper. 1t was
in his family that an incident happened
which has been often told, in prose and
poetry. Jacob Kemper, the bishops grand
father, with his young family, had settled,
two years after coming to the country, on
a farm at Beekman, in Dutchess county,
n. 7. While living there the little Maria
Sophi3 about six years of age, was i'll the
habit eating her bowl of rice and milk,
after dinner, seated on the door sill, and
used to tell of ''die scheme Schlange" (the
beautiful snake) tiat came and ate her rice.
Her mother watched to see what the
chllds strange words could mean, and, to
her horror, saw large rattlesnake with its
head IN the bowl eating with the child who
when her visitor took moz9 than its share,
slapped it on the head with her spoon
When the meal was fni ned the snake
went quietly away. The intimacy was too
dangerous to be allowed to continue, and
Mr.. Kemper killed the snake. The rattle,
with eleven or twelve rings, was long pre-
served IN the family.

A RATHER DAMP ENTERTAINMENT was tha
given lately at Kansas City, Mo. loca
paper describes it:
1.-THE square was thronged with people
from the adjoining country, who were in
town to see Robinson's circus. The rain
suddenly began to pour down in torrents.
Down went the gally-painted signs of re-
ptiles and wonderful no-armed and no-leg-
ged men; down came the rain in q flood:
down came the huge circus tent, and down
J. ,ured the floods of water. The crowd
side the circus remained in the shower
bath until the ropes were loosened and the
canvas began to sink to the centre of the
ring. At this sight they took panic, and
out they rushed pell nell into the flooded
square. The horses were hurried out OF
the circus, and general stampede made
for shelter. The water by this time was
nearly knee-deep on the street. The cor.
NJ r of Fifth and Main waist-deep, having
the appearance of lake. The basement
under Lockridge Hall was soon flooded
with water, chairs, tables and beer kegs
floating on level with the top of the coun.
ter. The rain ceased about as suddenly as
it began, and now tie crowd made q rush
back to the circus. All were admitted, pay
or no pay, check or no checks. The ring
Was ankle deep in water, and the clowd
were as wet as water could make them. II
about twenty minutes the band struck uI
and there were attempts made to renew The
performance, but under very disadvantage
Gus circumstances.

An English Baby Show.

An enterprising itinerant auctioneer de-
termined upon introducing a novelty, and
created sensation among the poor moth
ers in the locality by holding baby show
There were several prizes, and presently
the door of the caravan leading on the
stage from which the auctioneer dispcscS
Of his wares WAS opened and the mammas
came forward in single file with their cher
ubs in their arms, and formed row in
front of the assemblage. The only diff
Guilty that arose who should Judge. Three
men near to the caravan mounted the ros-
trum, amidst some merriment, which was
increased ten-fold, as commencing at one
end of the row, one of them took the babes
IN rotation III his arms, and raised them up
and down as though the job was one to
which he was not at all unaooustomed.-
| This appeared as though the decision was
to to be according to weight, and, as one
young woman was present with twins, the
suggestion was made that they should
both be taken into account when the re-
suit was being arrived at. Some of the
babes presented rather sickly appearance,
and did not seem at all to relish their posi-
ton. After good deal of careful examina-
ton, the decision of the judges and of the
crowd generally was given in favor of a
plump little infant, whose parents rejoice
in the name of Winterbottom. Another
prize was given to the child who was dress
ed In the neatest manner. 1t was freely
banded about that show of Young wo-
men would be not unnatural sequence.

WHO'LL LOVE EwHEN HAIR
Is GRAY

Is GRAY.
BY MARY CIEMNTER AATEs.
Who'll love me when my hair is gray?
Who'll call me fair when am old {?
Will sunny children round me play
With cherub cheek and curIs of gold
Oh, may then renew my spring,
IN miden grace, in manly form,
While to my cold lips come and cling
Sweet childish kisses wild and warm;
May know the while my pulse grows less,
In bounteous life It's bounding on
In younger veins, to love and bless,
And make life fair when / am gone.
Or, left the remnant of my race,
Shall behold my sinking sun,
And gazing toward the unknown lands,
Thank God, my day is almost done;
That while pray with lifted hands,
And count between my failing breath
The friends that have lost in life.
The friends that have lost in death.
AlasI with eyes of wistful ruth,
I must recall, some coming day,
The grace and glory of my youth.
Who'll love me when my hair is gray?
All well / know that there is one
Whose eyes will see me fair and gay
When faint and slow my life-sands runi
He'll see around my faded brows,
From whence the mo ming flowers are flung,
The numbers of eternal youth.
And love as if still were yonDq

Travelling Made Easy.

There appears every probability that the
horrible discQmforts in crossing the chan
mel dividing France and England will soon
be obvlated, or at least very much anchor
ated. The project of constructing steamers
OF 6,OOO tons capacity to carry over the
train as we'll as passengers, which we have
before noticed IN these columns, is all but
realized. The company to carry this out
has had It's bill (called the "Internatioral al
Communication bill") approved by the
House OF Commons. Its operation is re-
strieted until the Emperor of the French
has assented to the construction of the
works of the new halbo Andrucelles, to
which the steamers are to run. Passen.
gers from Paris to London, or Uice Uersa
will pass from capital to capital without
change Of cars, the whole train being run
on the boat. The engines of each steamer
are to be 900 horse power, and it is antic-
ipated they will travel at the rate of twenty
miles an hour. This would enable the
transit to be accomplished in o little over
one hour, the Straits of Dover only being
about twenty-five miles at the widest part,
The magnitude of the steamers, it is ex.
pected, will exempt them from the effects
of the disagrC cable chopping sea of the
channel, which has hither } rendered the
crossing so disagreeable. AS the CARVING
out of the project viii virtually extinguisE
Boulogne and Calais, which have hithert
enjoyed the traffic, the residents of those
places do not look with much favor upor
the scheme. Those ports cannot admit
such large vessels, and the project will have
to be abandoned if they can influence the
Emperor to forbid the making of a new
port.

PROGRESSING FAvoRABLY.-The work
oflaying down the waterpipe in the river
is being prosecuted vigorously. The
dredge boat has about completed It's part
of the contract. From the point where
1t is anchored We presume the trench will
have to be thrown out with shoYels, as
there Is not sufficient depth OF water to
permit the boat to operate. The pipe
layers are up close to the dredge with
their work, and we should think by To-
morrow evening the putting down of the
water pipe to the Seventh ward will be
an accomplished fact.
We passed an hour Wednesday, in
watching the operation Of laying the pipe,
and SO tar as we were able to Judge, could
not see where any improvement could be
made either in'the kind Of joint used, or
the manner of uniting the sections. We
came away with the impression that the
plan adopted was success, and was
being faithfully carried out by the Messrs,
Sweeneys, the contractors.
