Story Of q Lost Child. :"

Perhaps there has never been an instance
where an entire city has taken such an in-
terest in the loss of a three year old child
as Boston has respecting Nellie Burns =
Three weeks ago she was playing iu the
street in front Of her fathers house. Wien
she had been absent about an hour, her
mother became anxious, and sent a messen-
ger in search Of her, who could obtain no
information whatever as to her disappears
anca. Alter a day or two OF frutleSS re-
search, Mr.. Burns had hand bills printed
and posted, Offering 500 reward, which the
city authorities subsequently increased to
5000 for her recovery. Information re-
spccting children found by persons anxious
TO receive the reward, involved Mr.. Burns
IN long journeys aud researches which
added to his anxieties without resulting III
anything of importance. Letters were
sent TO him urging him to send money for
positive information, one of them de-
clanng that upon the remittance 70 a given
address the child would be Immediately
sent home. These letters were OF course
turned over to the police, who were skepti-
cal as to the truthiulness oil their writer's
The Lost Child became a standing
heading in the newspapers. At last, on
the 2Uth ult., a man named James Doher
", employed on steamer plying between
Boston and Baltimore, called at Mr.
Burn 5 house, and asked that gentleman
whether the missing child had certain pc
culiarities of manner and dress, which he
described, not enumerated in the adver
dement's. Doherty's brother had observ-
ed such a little girl at play in court or al
ley IN miserable quarter Of the town, and
the brothers had from time to time taken
opportunity to pass that locality, and no.
tice the child more particularly. Their
surmises were correct, and resulted in Mel
lie S recovery. a crowd of more than two
thousand people, sympathizing with the
JOY Of the parents, surrounded the carriage
in which the ch'li WAS brought home, and
greeted her appearance at the window
with cheer upon cheer It is aScertaincd
that she was abducted, and kept by per-
sons residing in tenement house back of
the alley where she was found, with a view
to obtaining money rs a reward for her re
turn.

Burning Of q Railroad Train

About 7 0 clock On Tuesday evening the
eastward boupd passenger train on the Vi est
Wisconsin railroad, met with a terrible ca
tastrophe while nearing Tomah The woods
in the vicinity bad been on fire fox some
time and pile Of about five hundred hard
oak ties, seasoned two years, which were
placed along the track about twelve miles
from Tomah were soon subject to the de.
structlve element.
The danger to the train was n0g Gppar-
ont until the engine had turned curve a
short distance from the fire in the road, and
was approaching on down grade. The

him in the ire, he vhis:lsd 'otF brakes,
aud putting on all steam possible dCtermin-
Cd to run the gauntlet. The rails had been
so badly warped anl the ties consumed,
that the engine was soon thrown from the
track humping along on the ties until 1t was
brought to a halt with the cngILe and ten
der just through the fire, and a adde's car

engine andtenderw Immediately uncoupt

passenger car also dlsengaged and removed

nancial transaction occurred in one
of the dock offices in Buffalo, day
or two since. By some means or
other it happened that the Office boy
owed one of the clerks three cents,
the clerk owed the office boy two
cents. One day last week the office
boy having cent in his pocket con
cluded to diminish his debt, and
therefore handed the nickel over to
the clerk, who, in return, paid half
OF his debt by giving the coin to the
cashier. The latter remarking snow
] owe you one cent" the Office boy
again passed the cent to the clerk
who passed it to the office boy, and
the latter individual squared all &C
counts by paying it to the clerk,
thereby discharging his entire debt.
Thus it may be seen how great is the
benefit to be derived from a single
cent if only expended juciciously.

after, the report of pistol rang out,
and bullet whis;led along the beach.
That shot was a fatal one.
Lila, hurrying breathlessly home
ward heard it and shuddered. She
had meant to avoid the spot where she
guessed her father and Carl lay in wait
Tor their victim; but now, impelled by
stronger curiosity than she could re-
sist, she ran thither.
1t was an open spot at the end of the
glen, covered almost with huge boul-
ders, around which the road wound
like great white serpent; and when
she reached the place strange sight
met her ewes.
Carl Connor was lying beside the
PROSTATE form of her father; far down
the road she saw horse and phaeton
going at fearful.speed, eertes running
away. Lila grew pale as the dead.
She took a step nearer Carl, and this
was but to confirm the fear that sud
denly smote her-her father was deadl
Yes, deadl and the moonlight stream
ing about him showed fatal wound in
his breast, from which the blood was
oozing in crimson stream.
When she saw Rhoderick's cloak "

nized it-her mind grasped the truth
Carl had mistaken her father for Rho
derrick Orvis and shot him dead. And
it was so-the old fisherman rode
straight to his doom.
Slowly the Mortified girl turned to
Carl. His face looked, in the weirdly, |
glimmering moonlight, the color of
death itself; a violent tremor shook
him from head to foot; he seemed par
alyzed with horror. He moved to-
ward her, but she waved him off,
"Go" she said, slowly, solemnly,
sternly. "Go, and never let me look
upon your face again. Go, and may
the orphans curse forever follow your'

miserable victim, the guilty. terrified

Then Lila Wynde's senses reeled, and,
pale and ghastly, she sank to the earth
beside the body of her dead father.
1t was year before Lila recovered
from the effect of the dreadful shock
she received that night. or ceased to
think of her fathers terrible fate. And
when she became Rhoderick's wife,
even the unlimited love he lavished up
on her did not suffice to Danish it en-
.irely from her mind.
