The Pre,tiest Story AH0at.

A professor of music in Paris, who
was obliged to abandon his house
during the siege, in the hurry of de-
parture left the unfinished score OF a
musical composition behind. The war
over, he returned, with intense anxiety
for the fate OF the precious man uscrlpt,
to find his house destroyed! Only one
wall remained standing; but luckily,
high up on its side could be seen the
cupboard, with its key still projecting
from the lock, in which were deposited
the valuable papers. A ladder was
procured, the impatient composer
ascended, and took out his treasure safe
and sound. What was his astonishment
TO find it not only complete but
completed, the composition brought to
happy close, with a brief note OF expIa-
nation signed "Koennemann, Musician
in-Chief OF the Twenty-second line reg

WOMEN AS WORKERS.
How Some OF The Sex Take Care Of
Themselves.


Elizabeth Stuart Phelps sums up in
the Independent some OF the things en-
terprising women have done-showing
that when a sensible woman can do
work she is more likely to do it than to
travel about the country crying over
the wrongs she has to endure, or clam
oring for her rights. Hear Mrs.
Phelps:
In the capital of stout-hearted If
not very broad shouldered little New
England State one OF the best black
smiths in the city is said to be young
woman; she works side by side with
her father, Of whom she acquired her
trade.
In one OF the Territories we find two
Young women, sisters, running black
smiths shop upon their own account.
In the crude condition OF the region
the undertaking was as necessary as 1t
seemed natural, and they have made it

the woman who took out contract for
macadamizing a road, engaged her
workmen, kept them to time, and con-
Quoted them and her road successfully
through her agreement. The same
woman, if | am rightly informed, has
more than once moved barns and other
buildings on contract, with comPosure
and dispatch.
In Wisconsin two girls, whose works

FRAUD everywhere where Radicals
are in power. Now we have fraudulent
claims to recover the back pay and
pensions OF United States soldiers com
ing before the Auditing Bureau Of the
Treasury Department In large num'
bers. Through information obtained
from the employees of the Government,
it is stated that dishonest agents are
occasionally enabled to obtain the pay
ment OF fraudulent claims. A plan Tor
an extensive scheme TO deiraud the
United States, in which large number
OF Radicals are involved, has, it is re.
ported, been recently discovered. The
claims OF colored soldiers in the South

ing money from the Treasury.

all two thousand women at work this
year in its generous fields Iowa and
Indiana contain tive hundred women
working farms on their own account

In one of the largest cities In the

we learn that she has just returned from

cargo of lumber "She is said to be

per thousand feet for lumber than was
ever paid at Hong Kong before"
OF an extensive dry goods establish
ment in New Jersey, we are told that
it is managed entirely by two ladies,
and that their credit in the large busi-

they set up business eight years ago on
a capital Of from $1,000 to $4,000, and
that they control a stock now worth
from $4,000 to $4,000 in ladies fur
nishing and fancy goods.

ing was largely attended. Addresses

passed censuring the directors of the
Eastern railroad as guilty Of criminal
carelessness, and calling for the most
rigid investigation. The speakers gen

the corporation to provide a sufficient

Steamboat Accident.
The Ocean Wave ExplOdes
Her Boilers.
Fifty or Sixty Persons Killed.

MOBILE, August 2S.-The steamer
Ocean Wave, with over two hundred ex-
cursionists on board, exploded her
boilers at Point Clear wharf yesterday
afternoon. 1t is impossible to tell how
many were killed, as it is supposed that
number of bodies have been buried
under the wreck. The port boiler first
gave way and the upper works caved in.
Many persons were crushed TO death
beneath the ruins A correspondent Of
local paper states that the steamer
has been considered unsafe for some
time The boilers were mere shells.
The passengers were mostly citizens of
Mobile and vicinity, The Tribune and
Tines say there are from forty to fifty
killed and from sixty to one hundred
wounded. The Captain and two pilots
were killed and both the engineers
badly wounded. The city authorities
and the citizens have made ample ar
rangements to remove the dead and
wounded, when they will be brought up
to the city.
The Ocean Wave was built at Ho-
boken in 1854, and was low pressure
steamer of 333. 3.76-l00 tons. She was
used for an excursion steamer in Mo-
bile, was seventeen years old, and not
in very good condition. Several COM
plants have been made against the boat
ior not carrying sufficient number OF
life preservers and repairs to her boil
ers have several times been ordered by
the Government Inspectors. 1t is not
known that the Ocean Waves boilers
have been changed since she Was built.
LATER.
MOBILE, August 2S.-Further partic-
ulars of the explosion Of the boiler of
the steamer Ocean Wave have been re-
ceived. The explosion took place at
$50 P. NJ. yesterday, while the steamer
was lying at the wharf. Over two hun
dred excursionisiis were aboard. Fifty
or sixty were killed by steam. The
Founding brought a portion of the
bodies to this city last night. Others
have been looking for them to-day.
The captain, engineer and pilot were
killed. Only three officers escaped.
The cause OF the explosion is not yet
tascertained, but searching investiga-
tions will be made.

BOSTON.
The Railway Accidental sickenins
Scene.

BosToN, August 2S.-The terrible
railroad accident of Saturday night be-
comes more sickening as the details are
developed. The cause OF the accident
was simply that the engineer on the
express train chose 10 plunge his train
into one standing at the station before
him. The Beverly accommodation
train made several stops to get passen-
gers on at way stations, meanwhile the
express train from Bangor left on time
and ran at the highest attainable rate
Of speed. Before it started SuperIn-
tendent Prescott sent special order
to the engineer to be careful as there
was train ahead of him. The con-
ductor OF the accommodation train
warned of a train behind him,
caused two red lanterns TO be
put on the rear platform, but it seems
no attention was paid to orders, and
the responsibility OF this carelessness
must rest somewhere. At the scene OF
this awful disaster there is little to be
seen. In the ditch at the side OF the
road still smoke the embers of the
burned cars, but this is almost all that
tells of the disaster. In town, In the
hall of the Revere House, still lie halt
dozen ladies. They are horrible to
look at. Bloody foam lies upon their
black, swollen lips, their eyes protrude
from their sockets, discolored patches OF
flesh hang loose from their cheeks, and
great flaps of boiled skin dangle from
their hands. They have been crushed,
cooked and tortured, and deeper than
all were the physical disfgurements
One Sees something here still more
awful to look upon in their faces, a
haunting look of unspeakable agony.
The officers OF the road were almost
crazed by the accident, and seemed not
TO know what to do. The killed and
wounded were nearly all Boston, Salem
and Lynn people.
The Coroner's inquest into the East
ern railroad disaster was commenced at
Revere to-day. The only witness ex-
amined was John S. holland, conduc-
tor of the accommodation train. His
evidence was to the effect that the train
had the right of the road; that he had
taken the usual precaution against dan
ger, and that the Pullman train should
have kept out Of his way; one of the
rules OF the road was that trains should
keep half a mile apart on the road, and
this rule was transgressed by the engi-
neer of the express train he had been
on the road twenty-one years and never
met with an accident Of any conse-
quence before.
