English Philanthropy.

One of the most beautiful and sue
cessful philanthropies in England,
which year ago grew cut of the mo-
therly, sheltering instinct of warm
hearted Quakeress, whose whole life
had been passed III helpful deeds of
pity and love, is the establishment of a
creche, or baby nursery III London,
where poor women vino are compelled
to work may leave their babies during
the day, taking them home at night
clean, happy and well fed. The chill
dren are not only looked after, but
are taken into healthy surroundings
and given companionship and
amusement No children could
be better off They are not III the
mere charge of hired nurses, but are
looked after with an ever watchful
charity Mrs. Hilton, the originator
of the plan and matron of the school,
has surely taught ladies, in this coun
try as well as i'll England, who want a
charitable mission, where to find one.
A cradle school III the neighbOrhOOd OF
every crowded street would soon tell
on both the health and morals of the
population. Such schools are now
among the most pressing wants of the
poorer classes, not only III Europe, but
here III America.

Port au Prince Bombardcd by IL German
Fleet.

The German fleet arrived at Port an
Prince week ago. The Commander
reports that the fleet bombarded the
town Of Port an Prince for several
hours, and boarded and captured the
Haytlan fleet
These acts were committed in conse-
quence of the Haytian Government
hnving refused to pay the indemnity
due the German merchants of Hayti
for interfering with their commerce
and levying forced loans during the
revolution.
The Haytian Government paid the
German Commander $4,000 on ac-

A Mammoth Bear in Nevada E0uuiy
California.

The Truckee Republican, says Il griz-
Ely bear, known as "Old Brln," has
lived in the vicinity of Wcbbcr Lake
for many years past, and various at
tempts have been made to kill, or cap
ture him alive Hundreds of rifle shots
have been fired at him without any
other apparent result than to arouse his
ferocity and endanger the lives of those
who fired at him. Hunters, who have
met him at different times say that his
track measures fourteen inches in
breadth, and that the monster must
weigh over 2, 900 pounds. "Old Brin, "
as he is called, was caught several
years ago i'll huge steel trap, weighing
over fifty pounds, and made expressly
for his capture. He smashed the trap
in pieces and escaped, but In perform
ing this feat his fore paw became
crooked, as appears by It's imprint ON
the snow. John King. an old hunter
at Webber Lake, says cold Brin ="
must have several pounds of lead III
him if all the bullets fired ut linn took
effect. About two weeks ago Dan
Webber and John King, while leading
a horse on a trail near Webbcr Lake,
met cold Brin" Webber escaped
with the horse, while King found safety
in climbing n tree out of the bears
reach. After while the bear left.
Kind descended and made a second at
tempt to proceed, when he was again
confronted by ''Brin and made an
other basty retreat. The men and
horses yielded that route to the grizzly
and took another direction. Several
hunters are making arrangements to
capture this monster of the forest alive
For menagerie or museum 1T Is be-
lieved "Old Brin would be worth
several thousand dollars.

Youth and Age
BY ANNA b. AVE8ILL.

o day so gray, you could not chin me-
In that sweet time, far off AID TAR,
Though loud winds shrieked and echoed shriiiy,
And wild rain washed the woodlduds bare!
Though sodden fields stretched cold, unvarled-
And birds flew south on weary wing
For in my happy heart / carried
The hope and promise OF the spring.
o day so gay, you cannot thrill me.
Your light aud perfume, shower and song,
Your bloom and brightness, only fill ME
With old-tlme memories, sweet and strong,
] would not bid you swift hours tarry,
/ do not hasten to your call;
For in my thankful heart / carry
The joy and fruitage of the fan.

assaultng a negro man in the employ Of
Mr.. George Gregory, knocked him down
with . rock, inaicting . terrible wound
We are informed that the negro bore the
reputation Of being a quiet inoffensive

entirely unprovoked. 1t is said these

down because he saw him fall The
negro died on Wednesday from the effects
Of his injuries, and now the valiant Hay

Porter with tho whole affair. We hope
the authorities will thoroughly iuvesti-
gate this outrage and bring these young
villains to justice as they have long been

such hell deserving vsgabonds are allowed

THE SHAMROCK HOUSE on FIRE.
Another Evidence Of the Utility Of the Water
Works.

Another Evidence Of the Utility Of the Water
Works.
At ten minutes before this morning
the Eth an alarm of fire proceeded from
the Shamrock House, in the Third Ward.
ON Adams street 1t had burned through
the roof at the front of the house, and
through the north side, and was streaming
up, lighting the whole region with an ugly
blaze. The northeast chamber was all
ablaze, and the flames rapidly flashing over
the dry root. 1t is large, two story
wooden building, and people feared that
/ the whole neighborhood would be burned
out In very few moments Hope Hose
Co. was on the ground, the hydrant
opened and stream Of water turned upon
the fire of such force as to snuff it out like
candle, making shingles and half burned
boards fly like feathers 1t made people
laugh to see the power of the Holly stream,
and everybody felt a kind of affection for
an institution which affords them so ready
and certain protection. Much praise is
given to young John Staubeck of Hope
Hose Co, for his efficiency and gallantry on
I the occasion
The house is kept as hotel and boarding
house, by Mike DAILY, so long the steward
at the Rock Island House His loss is not
heavy, and is fully covered by insurance
in Hayes & Cleveland's agency
The building belongs to James Broder,
lex, and the loss on that is also fully in
sured in Cops agency. The northeast
chamber is pretty effectually burned out
and the roof over it !; and the house is
much damaged by water A good deal Of
it will have to be newly plastered
The fire is supposed to have originated
from the bar-room stovepipe, which en-.
tered the chimney in the room which is
burned out.
1t was fortunate escape for all The
mild weather will enable repairs to be
made at once.

THE MILAN ROAD BURGLARS. james
Louden, George Williams, and William
Brown, whose arrest for burglary in Iowa,
was so nicely managed by Marshal Mitsch,
were examined before Justice Cooper, of
Wilton, yesterday, the 9th. Williams and
Louden were held to bail in the sum of
$500 each, while Brown examination was
poisoned till Monday, at his request, 80 as
to allow the procuring of counsel from
Davenport and witnesses from Rock Is
land.
While the examination was pending,
officer Clinton, of Davenport, searched the
house of Abel Loudon, cousin of James,
near Wilton, but found only pair of rub
Der overshoes, which Mr. Coffee, of Mos
COW, identified as being one of several
pair which were taken from his store last
Sunday morning. Clinton then went to
Moscow and searched the house of John
Loudon, brother of James, and found
therein piece of black alapaca, a shawl,
skirt, suspenders and other goods similar
to those found when in the house of the
burglars on Milan road. Abe Loudon admit
ted that james and man he did not know
brought two sacks full of something to his
house on Sunday morning, but he swore
he knew nothing of the robbery. John
Loudon swore that he bought the goods
found in his house, at Wilton and Musca-
tine, This cousin and brother of the
burglar were held to appear as witnesses.
Officer Clinton took charge of the trunk
full of goods found with the burglars, a
no one at Wilton or Moscow could identify
them The goods in the sacks were iden-
tilted by Mr.. Coffee. The contents of the
trunk, it is thought, were stolen at Musca-
| tine.
