lioudate the claims against the board.
The chairman stated that he had made ar,
rangements to borrow S2l2,000 at the rate
of ten per cent per annum tor sixty days
with the privilege OF renewing 1t at the end
of that time until the end of the year.
The following resolutions were INTRO
duced

mttee Oh Finance be authorized aud EN-
powered to borrow, Oh the credit of the
school fund OF the city OF New Orleans the
sum of S2l4, 600. and to issue certificates OF
Indebtedness for the same i'll such amounts
as NAV be desired, upon The receipt oi the
Administrator of Finance for the funds de-
posted with him TO the credit OF the school
fund which certificates shall be attached
to and accompany said receipts, as evil
dence of the deposits that may be made un-
der the authorization: provided that funds
| may be had at the rate of ten per cent per

months Indebtedness for teachers and see
rctaries, six months rent due and con-
solidated pay roll was in preparation to
pav Of: at one time the entire Indebtedness
of tie past five months.
motion was made to divide the reso-
Iutions and vote ON each, SO that tie sec

AFFECTING LEGEND.

The river Neva, on the banks and islands
of which the city of St. Petersburg is built,
often rises suddenly on the breaking up of
the ice in Spring. Much peril consequently
overlakes those whose homesteads are near
enough to the rivers banks to be endangered
by the overwhelming force of the torrent, as
well as by those floating blocks Of ice whose
destructive power is irresistible. During
one of these sudden and terrific inundations,
IL striking incident was related to me as re-
ceived from the truthful lips of an cyc-wit-
ness In one Of the small tencnents on the
banks Of the river, lovely, fair haired girl,
about nine years old, dwelt with her parents,
who were workers in hemp and flax The
chds greatest earthly treasure was beau
tiful little dove, rescued from the bands Of
the destroyer, who had rudcly torn away
the parent bird from the nest; thus it had
been nestled in her BOSOM and fed from her
lips, and they became almost inseparable
companions, except when the little HiIda ac-
companied her parents TO church, or to
market with her homcep goods, when,
for greater safety, the bird was suspended
from the ceiling in its quaint wicker dwell
ing, to await with hutter Of delight the
little maids returning footsteps; then the
door of the cage was thrown open, and the
dove flew joyfuIly to its usual perch or rest
ing place on Hilda's shoulder. Such, possi-
by, might have been their mutual position
when the rush and roar Of waters suddenly
swept over their little dwelling, the force Of
the destructive element leaving no time for
flight or escape in any shape The child
was coon seen struggling in the wild whirl of
waters, while the dove, with expanded
wings (Which instinct would have taught her
to use for fight and safety hovered over her
little rrotcctorcss, fluttcring around with in
cXpressiblc alarm, now perching on her head
or breast when she rose Oh the surface, and
wish her little bcak making vain efforts to
rescue the floating locks of silk-like hair
borne backward ard forward by the cddies
of the torrent. When the fair young head
was again engulphed, the dove plunged into
the swelling waves after it, then rose with it
again, until natures struggles exhausted,
the loving little head, and the wet and weary
wing sunk, never to rise again, in the over
whclming waters
