OLD FATHER THAMES has, as we are told
by cable from London, suddenly asserted
his power by rising from his Shiny bed
and swelling up huge volume of water
which overhowed the shore boundary yester-
day and inundated the surrounding country.
Home Park presents the appearance of q vast
lake, and the food is the greatest which has
been seen in that neighborhood since the year
1852. The occurrence of these sudden up

to some extent, independent of rain and
storm. by subterranean volcanic action.

The CORPORATION ATTORNEYS OFFICE. Cor
poration Attorney Thomas c. Fields has sent in
his resignation of that office to the Corpora-
ton Counsel, Mr.. E. Delafield Smith. The
Corporation Counsel declines to accept the
resignation, very properly holding that Mr..
Fields, by deserting his post and abandoning
his official duties, has in fact left the Office va
cant. Mr.. Smith will, no doubt, appoint a
Corporation Attorney Immediately, in order
that the public interests may not suffer.

of worldly opinion who fourshes his fiery
sword of social disgrace above their heads is
pitiless as his prototype. But in that House
of the Good Shepherd may be seen other
women of angelic souls who minister to the
social outcasts, who guide the erring feet into
the right path, who lift up the sin-darkened
brow that the merciful light of God may shine
upon it. Good people, then, you on whose
freside circles this blight has in Gods and
the worlds mercy never fallen, can not you
think how the friendly smile of Santa Claus
upon the Christmas Day of these unfortunates
might call up the memory Of vanished
purity and severed home ties how it
might help along the great work Of the good
Sisters? Think, too, of the orphan boy and
the orphan girl, whom death has sundered
from their Santa Claus. Would it not make
your Christmas joy run smoother to think You
had helped these fatherless and motherless
little ones to some Of its innocent delight?
Do not, while looking on these sad reyerses OF
the picture Of Santa Claus, forget the tiny found
lings. II these little waits are in most cases
too young to appreciate all the poetry of the
myth, give them cause to know when they are
little older that old Santa Claus was forced
by you down the chimney of their dormitory,
first, to put some coal on the fire, and then,
with bundle Of mannikin clothing to keep
the life in their little bones.
