The Latest Romance.

The choicest romance of the season
has been found, not at the great water.
ing places, but in New York, or rather
in Harlem, which lies at the upper end
of the island. The story is we'll vouched
for, and we presume some one of the
great throng of novel writer's will
snatch up the incident for u touching
tale of love. 1t appears that Harlem
gentleman named Moore, who had
amassed fortune of 100000 by hon.
est labor as builder, died few
months since, leaving his wealth uncon.
ditionally to his devoted wife. Mrs
Moore paid the last tokens OF respect to
the memory of her husband, donned
the ordinary signs of mourning, and
settled up the business of the departed
as any sensible widow might be expect
ed to do. In the employ of MI. Moore,
as night Waterman, had been q man,
John Hughes by name, at the moder.
ate wages of eight dollars week. He
was an awkard fellow, uncouth and
unattractive, passing in the circle where
he was known as "greenhorn," but
was faithful, and Mrs. Moore retained
him in her service. But rumor, ever
active, soon spread abroad the news that
in his nightly round of duties, John
Hughes was accompanied by Mrs.
Moore. The charitable said it was be.
cause Of her anxiety as to the safety Of
the property, while another circle Of
neighbors thought it a departure from
the propriety on the widows part. The
midnight walks became more frequent,
but curiosity and scandal were soon set
at rest by Mrs. Moore, who, apparently
following her own imaginations and
seeking no advice from her neighbors,
sold block of houses for $lS6,000 and
accompanied her awkard servant to
Manhattanville, where they were mar.
ried. And now they are living quietly
at an elegant house in Twenty.second
street, and another than John Hughes
watches the property. And let all the
night watchmen in the service Of
wealthy widows take courage.

A Heroic StOker.

AS the No. 3 passenger train on the
Toledo, Wabash and Western railroad
was running curve between Citation

covered child about two or three years
of age on the track a short distance
ahead. He Immediately reversed the
engine and called the attention of the
fireman to it. The latter, whose name
is Geo. Wedgewood, seeing at once that
the train could not be stopped in time
to save its life, crept out on the cow
catcher, braced himself, and when he
got within reach of the child he seized
it and threw it up in the air, SO that it
lit upon its shoulder, thus snatching it
from the very jaws of death. 1t was a
brave and heroic act, and done at the
peril of his own life, and one for which
he is entitled to the largest measure of
praise aud commentator. He was
slightly injured in the undertaking, but
not to any extent. The child was en-.
tirely unhurt.-Heokuk Gazette.

IsniaiI Pasha.

The honor conferred upon Ismail
Pasha by the recent imperial frman of
the Sultan, although seemingly quite
trifing, is really substantial one. Be.
fore he was only an appointed deputy,
who ruled Egypt at the pleasure of the
Sublime Porte, and was liable to re.
moval, while the succession of his son
was by no mems certain. Now he is
created Khedive, and the title, which
is of higher political value than That
of Viceroy or Pasha, is made permanent
and hereditary. Those who recognize
in Ismai. Pasha the most enlightened
and progressive sovereign Of the East,
as we'll as one of the most brilliant men
of the age, will acknowledge the justice
Of the promotion.

The Lightning on the Crest Of the
Rocky Mountains.

Gray's Peak is the home of the thun-
der. The lightning knows it as the
eagle knows his nest. Being the high
est of all peaks of the Sierra, it attracts
the clouds, which almost daily gather
round its head and burst upon it, so
that it sometimes tries the nerves Of
the boldest to run the gauntlet of these
storms. At such times the whole
mountain seems charged with electrici.
ty. Several who have been caught
there at such moment told me how it
shot through them like needles it
buzzed about their heads like bees !;
they could hear it whistling like gale
through the rigging of a ship. The
guides, being more accustomed to such
things, are less terrified, but tourists
are sometimes paralyzed with terror if
not with the shock, and fall to the
ground, unable to move. Even the
guides sometimes think it matter of
prudence to throw themselves fiat upon
their faces, not to present a point for
the lightning to strike. The poor
brutes, taught by dumb instinct, turn
their heads from the storm, and let it
beat. If party were caught on the
summit in a long snow-storm, it is
probable that they would perish. In
the binding drifts, it would be impos.
sible to find the path, and no mortal
strength could hold out for many
hours. Such accidents do not occur,
because the guides are on the watch !;
when they see a storm coming up they
bid all run for their lives. They fly
with speed, and come down often
trembling and afraid, as if, like Moses,
they had been up on the mount, into
the cloud, and had seen the awful
power of God.
