Who WAS SHE ?-We are told that
some of the costumes already produced
at Saratoga, Newport Long Branch and
Cape May are truly superb. One lady
has created buzz with her salitaire dia-
mond worth twenty-five thousand dol
lars. She suddenly blazed out at Sara
toga with the brilliant, and, of course,
became the cynosure. Who was she?
not soul knew or yet knows. After
tarrying but three evenings at Congress
Hall she mysteriously disappeared -
much to the surprise and regret of the
many, but the great relief of the few
whose dress and beauty she had put in
eclipse.
Three days later she appeared at New
port, and there shone, not in diamonds,
but in pearls-wearing coronet of the
translucent gems of rare magnifcence
On three different occasions-each time
as at Saratoga, dressed in most elaborate
| ly different dress = she dazzled and
eclipsed the beauty present, then was
seen no more. Newport mourned and
wondered, and in severe spasm of envy,
cried, "Who IS she, anyhow"
'What superb woman was the
exclamation at Long Branch, the other
night, as the same lady appeared in Le-
lands parlors-dressed now in cloud Of
white tuAe, with a single ruby of exceed
ing splendor rising and falling on her
breast, like mass cleaning from a flee.

deared himself to their affection and
commended himselfto the esteem Of his
friends by many good qualities. Left
an orphan at an early age, and the old
est of a large family, he had understood
the task devolyed on him by Divine
Providence, and exerted himself to
prove equal to the position. Having
gone with success through his collegial
course, he had returned home and set
to work with energy to make an honor
able living, and impart to his younger
brothers the boon of Il good education.
Early in 1869 he had cast his lot with
the choice of his heart, and his marriage
had been blessed by the advent of fine
son who was the common hope and joy
of both parents. May God bless and
protect him, and spare him to his be-
reaved mother as a soothing consolation
in the absence Of her lamented hus-
band. A FRIEND,
On Bayou Rapides, on til e 23d of
October, 1872, HENRY SASSER, aged

The deceased was colored man, born
in Maryland, and came to Rapides with
his former master in 1919. We have
known him all our life and can truly at
test in this brief tribute to his good and
exemplary conduct the whole of his
mortal career on earth. Few better
men, in such an humble sphere, ever
lived and died in Rapides. Peace and
quiet to his memory!

A BEAR SToRY.-NIr. Richard Dyas,
with the wholesale grocery firm of
Warmer e. Company, Delaware street,
met with qnite an adventure while on
an excursion to Colorado a short time
since. He went up into the mountains
to fish, and found nice little nook
hemmed in on all sides but one by the
creek or bluffs, where lie sat down and
soon pulled ont of the mountain stream
a fine string of trout. As he got up to
return home, lie saw young bear,
probably about half grown, coming
toward him, and occupying the only
path by which he could leave the place.
The bear didn't seem very savage, and
Dyas thought by giving him the fish
he would lie satisfied, and thus afford
an opportunity to escape. He threw
the fish, but there's where he made a
mistake. Bruin. mistook this act of
kindness for an assault, and at once
advanced upon the foe. Man and bear
then crippled, the bear by some means
getting Dyas' arm in his mouth, both
tumbled to the ground, and, after a
short struggle, both hugging each
other closely, rolled into the creek
This had the effect of separating them,
and Dyas hastily climbed out of the
stream and ran for dear life. The
water doubtless cooled the bears wrath,
for he did not follow his enemy, going
away in a different direction. Dyas
lost his hat and fishingtackle, and
reached his friends in a rather sorry
plight, his clothes being through]y
soaked Omaha Dispatch.

The Family Of an Ohio Soldier made

Our neighboring city of Tiffin is jus

and when the Government decided M:
on employing negro troops he became

ing the campaign in Tennessee his

on the estate of Colonel Washington
near Nashville. The regiment seems
not to have been under the best discip.
line; and its black desperaloes were
disposed to give free rein to their bru-
tai instincts. They seized Colonel
Washington and threatened him with
instant death, and also set about des-
troying the elegant family mansion.
Colonel Downey, by great exertions,
and at the imminent risk of his own
life, succeeded in rescuing Colonel
Washington from death, and in saving
the mansion aud other property from
destruction. Colonel Washington felt
profoundly grateful at the time for Col
onel Downey's brave exertions in his
behalf, and promised never to forget
them. There the matter rested, and
the wild scenes with which Downey
was surrounded soon drove it out of his
mind. He remained at the head of his
regiment till the war was over, and
then he returned to Tiffin and settled
down into quiet, domestic life. Not
long ago he died, leaving his family
in Strengthened circumstances. Mrs
Downey was driven to her needle for
support. She and her children lived
in their humble way, with little
thought that great change was soon
to be wrought in their condition. Re-
Gently Colonel Washington died, when
it was found that he had willed his
property, consisting of sl5, O00in bonds
and greenbacks, and three hundred
acres of improved land, situated mile

Of people had visited the spot, and
looking up from the street had seen
the apparition. The correspon-

Of a face, the flow of the hair and
the curve Of the eyebrows being
well defined, while from another,
distant from it about fifty feet, he
could see the color of the dress
