the house was closed, when she shifted Ter

mained until Wednesday, when she left
Atlanta. During her stay she managed
to make bills for about five hundred dol
lars worth of fnery with sundry mercantile
houses on Ninth and Market streets. Her
conduct for several days excited suspicion
and her creditors had been keeping an eye
upon her movements On "Wednesday
morning she appeared at the Office of the
Southern Express Company and ordered
her trunk shipped to Atlanta in the name
of "Miss Tompson." -
Her victims, who had been outwitted,
were at the Express office yesterday anx-

with her.
She has occasionally passed as Miss
Harris and Miss Tompson, but when

Unkindness

The sweetest the most clinging affection,
is often shaken by the slightest breath of
unkindness, az the delicate rings and ten
drills of the vine are agitated by the. faint
est air that blows in summer An nm
kind word from one beloved often draws
blood from many heart which would
defy the battle axe of hatred. or the keen
edge of sindictiye satire. Nay. the shade,
the gloom of the face familiar and dear.
awakens pain. These are the little thorn !;
which though men ofa rougher form may
make their way through them without
feeling, extremely incommode persons of a
more refined turn in their journey through
life, and make their travelling irksome
and unpleasant. 800 .su -

HORRIBLE STEAMBOAT Dis
ASTER.
Mem Killed and Hlissing-A Ghstst-
~ ly Scene.

MCGREGoR, Iowa, June 15,-Tht
raft boat of d. A. Mcdonald, under com
mand of Wall Biglow, passed here about
four o'clock p. m. yesterday. and wheI
nearly opposite. North McGregor, hel
boilers exploded and blew all above the
boiler deck into fragments. The hull i'm
| mediately sunk in about sixteen feet oi
water. The Alamaka transfer boat be-
ween Prairie sDuGhein and McGregor
fortunately was at the landing at North
McGregor, and Immediately went to the
assistance of the sufferers and picked up
eighto of the crew, five Of whom were Sc
riously wounded, and two of them have
since died. 1t is not definitely known
how many we're on board at the time of
the accident. and it is impossible to as
certain as the Captain and owner Of the
boat remained at st. Louis. As near as
wecan make out from the stories of those
saved, there must have been between
twenty-nine and thirty-fve.
Robert Solomon, second engineer, who
was on duty at the time of the explosion,
and reported to be among the killed, has
since turned UP badly scalded and bruised
but not seriously injured. The engineer
on duty says he was attending carefully
to his duty, and had tried the water not
more than three minutes Before the ex-
plosion and found water in the two top
gauges. He seems to think the boiler
was very inferior and cannot account for
the explosion. The crew of the -Natronia
are dragging the river now, but as yet
have recovered but one man, whom it was
impossible to oidentify. s'
.se CHICAGO, June ia special from
McGregor, Iowa City, relative, to the ex-
plosion of the steamer d. III. Mcdonald,
says the scene on the boat after the ex-
plosion was terrible The dead and dy-
ing were strewn promiscuously over the
unsigbtly wreck of the ruined boat. Some
of the dead were frightfully mangled,
their clothes and flesh having been torn to
shreds by the swift winged missils Many
of the dead and wounded lay under heavy
timbers. Their bones were broken and
presented sight sufficiently ghastly to
appeal even those who were used to scenes
of violence and bloodshed. Many of the
wounded are SO badly mangled that it is
an impossibility for them to survive.

How Sal Disgrsiccd the Family

L r . e.
a traveller in the State of Illinois, some
years ago,came to log cabin on the prai-
ries, near Cairo, and there halted. He
went iuto the house of logs 1t was a
wretched affair, with an empty packing
box for table, while two or three old
chairs and disabled stools graced the re-
ception room the dark walls of which
were further ornamented by display of
dirty tin-Ware and a broken delf article or
two.
The woman was crying in one corner,
and the man, with tears in his eyes and a
pipe in his mouth, sat on stool, with bis
dirty arms resting on his knees, and bis
sorrowful head supported by the palms of
his hands, Not word greeted the inter
loper. IS
"WeH," said be, "you seem to be in
awful trouble here what's up?'
'.Oh, we are most crazed, neighbor,"
said the woman, ''and we amt got no
patience to see folks now.''
.'That's all right" said the visitor, not
much taken aback by this polite rebuff;
''but can l be of any service to you in all
this trouble?'
"Well, we've lost our gal our Sal is
gone off and left u.s. said the man m
tones of despair.
:'Ah; do you know what induced her
to leave you Z" remarked the new arrival
'.Well, we can't sya, stranger, as how
she's so far lost as to be induced, but then
she's gone aud disgraced US" remarked
the afflicted father.
.'Yes, neighbor, and not as l shoule say
it as is her mother, but there warn't
pootier gal in the West than my Sal;
She's gone and brough truin on us and on
her own head now, FOLLOWED the stricken
mother.
"Who has she gone with?' asked the
visitor.
"Well, there's the trouble. The gal
could have done well, and might have
married Martin Kehoe, a capital shoe
maker, who, although he's got but one
eye plays the flute in a lively manner,
and earns good living Then look what
a home ind what life she has deserted
She was here surrounded by all the coun-
ty," sail the father.
"Yes. and who knows what poor Sal
will have to eat, drink, or wear, now"
groaned the old woman.
"And who is the fellow that has taken
her from you, to lead her into such mis-
ery?' gu9th the stranger.
"Why, d-n him, she's gone off and got
married to critter called an editor, as lives
in the village. and the devil only knows
how they are to earn living"
