A LAD OF SIX YEARS DROWNED.
The Heroic Efforts of hIs Little Sister 10
Rescue Him.

The Heroic Efforts of hIs Little Sister 10
Rescue Him.
A most painful accident occurred on
Monday last in the southern part of the
county, twenty miles below the city, in
the family of A. Polk and Sarah A. Low
rance, in the drowning of their only son.
q bright lad of six summers. 1t seems
that the child, in company with his little
sister Alice, of ten years, were playing
upon the banks of the river
when, in a of childish temerity,
venturing too far, he was precipItated
into its treacherous and, at this point,
deep and swift currents. His little sister
startled, yet not stunned, without a mo.
ment's hesitation, plunged in after him
and succeeded in catching him by the
clothes and dragging herself upon q log,
projecting into the stream a few yards
below. But here the child's physi-
cal powers were exhausted, and she was
unequal to the effort of pulling her little
brother upon the log; yet, with a pres
ence of mind rarely exhibited in mstu-
rity, the hslf-drowned child pushed him
as far as it was possible toward the bank,
and screamed for help. The father soon
appeared upon the scene, but too late, as
the boy sank for the last time as he
plunged into the river with the
desperate hope of his rescue.
Darkness sits around that freside, and
the hope of life seems to have failed; but
if it were possible to assuage a grief that
rspels consolation, and soften q sorrow
tina o'ersaddens the heart, the stricken
parents will realize it in the heroic and
almost superhuman efforts of the sister
to rescue the darling brother. Alice is,
indeed, the Grace Darling child.

The deck was then cleared for the snnu-
al auction of articles of needle-work,
crocheting, embroidery, etc. At these
sales the rules of commercial value are
adhered to with the strictness that ordi-
narily charRcterizes the transactions of
business men. The Ructioneer is MI. A. E.
Franklsnd, of Memphis. He never fails
to be present, snd the mere sight of his
jelly face puts everybody in q good hu-
NOR. The proceeds Of these sales go to
the institution, which fact accounts for
the utterly reckless disregard of the in
trinsic value of articles, displayed by the
bidders. Not unfrequently, an article is
donated back Immediately and sold over
two or three times, at fabulous prices.
The sale opened with q knit fast
shawl, worth q couple of dollars. In less
thar half a minute, after spirited bidding,
u was knocked down to agentlsman from
Chicago for f6ty dollars. Another imme-
diRtely followed, at the same price, to q
Cincinnati man. So il went for half an
hour, crochet collars, lamp mats, tides,
slippers, infantiie garments, ETC., going
from ten to forty dollars. MOI a sin
gle article, however small, was started at
less than five dollars. The total receipts
for the goods, really worth, perhaps, forty
dollars, amounted to the snug sum of
hundred and twenty-five dollars,
The terms were strictly cash down, and
the clerk had his hands full of business
and greenbacks. The Ructioneer Is a
specimen of the voluble profession,
and kept his auditors in a roar of laugh
ter.
In the afternoon and evening the usual
picnic was held at Haltnorth's Garden.
The children were Toasted to repletion,
this occasion with 3 keen zest.
The festivities passed OF in the most de-
ightml manner, with music, dancing, re-
and everything that could
,onduce TO the pleasure of the large
,rowd In attendance.

ones TO the other The internal arrange.
mcnt of both honses is the same. and
the processes IN both are identical The
pairing is all done by hand various
machines have been tried. but none
have yet been found to work satisfac-
torily. Some five hundred women and
girls are engaged in the establishment,
the majority Of them in pairing. The
fruit is halved, and the stone removed,
and then pared. Understood fruit, and
that which is too soft. is thrown aside.
to be used AS "pie-frnit." The women
are paid six cents n buckctful for pairing,
and in this ms in other steps of the pro
cess the accounts are kept by the use Of
checks. The pared fruit is passed
through an opening to the floor below.
where it goes into hopper-like recepta-
cles, from which it is filled into the cans.
As fast MS the cans are filed they go to
IN inclined platform. which stands by
the side of a tank of hot syrup. which is
of n strength To make the fruit sweet
enough for the table-abont pound of
sugar to the gallon. The syrup is ladled
into the cans, allowing il sufficient time
TO fill all the spaces among the fruit
The cans are next washed and wiped to
remove the syrup, the cover placed on,

The English Coal Question.

Mr.. John Bull has been engaged abou
five years in trying to cipher out how
long his supply Of coal viii last He
Majestys subjects in England The
results aud processes of his figuring have
recently been made public. He tlnd'
that his known coal-felds. if worked tC
depth of four thousand feet, will still
yield about ninety thousand million tons
and that his probable fields. if worked
TO the same depth, will give him not fan
from iitty-six thousand million tons
more. He estimates the temperature foui
thousand feet below the earth's surface
at l05 degrees Fahrenheit. and con
clddes that none of his present or pros
pective laborlng classes can stand it to
work in greater heat than that. Between
the depths of four thousand and ten
thousand feet he believes he might get
forty.one thousand million tons, but as
no race OF men yet discovered could mine
down there, he contents himself with
saying that his available supply Of coal
is about one hundred and forty six thou
sand million tons. These calculations
are based upon the data Of scientific re-
search. In going further to know how
long the supply will last, the calculations
must be largely hypothetical At the
rate of consumption in 1870, the com
missioners think it would last l,273
Years. Figures made on the average of
population and consumption for the past
fifteen or twenty years show that it would
be exhausted in 1l0 years. OF course
neither Of these estimates is permissible,
and both may be dismissed as unworthy
of consideration An improved condi-
ton of the lower classes will raise the
price Of manual labor. while on the other
hand improved machinery will cheaper
the cost of mining diminishing rate
of increase III population will tend to
decrease the aggregate of yearly con
while an increase in the
branches of mechanical industry will
augment the demand for fuel. Taking
all these elements of the problem into
account. Mr.. Bulls investigating gentle
men estimate that he can burn coal for
at least $50 years longer Beyond the
expiration of that period the present
has no great interest in the
coal questisn.

A BEAN Town Beverly, Massachu-
setts says n correspondent, Is known as
" Bean Town" No virtuous citizen of
that place thinks of passing Sunday
morning without baked pork and beans
for breakfast. Formerly they went to
the different bakeries Saturday nights,
each man with his bean-pot. Each pot
was numbered with "A check rs received,
and the number given to the owner, and
the crowds would gather around the
bakery door Sunday morning, each man
calling his number and receiving his pot.
But now they have u pottery in the town.
ami each householder has had his bean
pot made to order, with his name or ini-
tials baked into the sides, and the plla
works beautifully. The bakers charge
six cents for baking beans, and it is no
mean source of revenue.
