A THRILLING SCENE AT SEA.-A

simple statement that an insane
woman threw her children over
board and then attempted to drown
herself while on the voyage from
Europe in the City of Brooklyn.
The painful story, as told by q
passenger, is as follows: "When
the vessel was two days out from
Queenstown a woman rushed up
from among the steerage passen
gers, bringing her two little boys
with her. She then threw them
overheard, in a frenzy, and then
leaped overheard also. An alarm
was raised, the steamer stopped
and a boat sent back. The woman,
then mile distant, was seen float
ing on the waves, supported by
her clothing. She was reached
and taken into the boat alive.
One of the boys was found dead,
the other was not seen again.
The children were bright and pref
ty little fellows, who had been the
pets of many of the passengers.
Their mother was suffering from
sickness and had become tempo,
rarily insane, in which condition
she committed the strange, I'M.
motherly act. She was apparent.

When in Paris the Shah of Per-
STA visited the Jardin DIES Plantes,
and was much pleased not only
with the curiosities there exhibit
ed, but also with the courtesy of
the directors. So he made mem

men of science with q view of SIRE
membering" them. A short time
ago his Majesty's compliments ar
rived in the shape of certain 'or-

mixed a good deal. The Persian

The uniform in which Freder-
lex the Great died, according TO
story which comes from Prussia,
became the property of his valet,
and remained in his family until
recently, when it was sold to q
dealer in old clothes for $50 thalers.
The dealer soon met with a patri-
otto admirer of historical relics,
who invested 500 thalers in the
suit. The next purchaser was an
Englishman, who ventured the
comparatively high price of 5000
thalers (EI2OO) as speculation,
hoping to realize as much as Ca
OOe by reselling it to . Prince OF
the reigning house Of Prussia, who
was anxious to possess himself OF
the uniforms but the price alarm
ed him. The purchaser, il is said,
has shipped the interesting gar.
ments to the United States, where
he believes he will obtain even 8
higher price than that asked of the
great kings descendant.

A LOST CHILD FOUND.
Sequel to the HOke-MarbOurg Shooting
ARRAY.

Our readers will all remember the
Hoke-Marbourg shooting affray at
the Otis House in Atchison some
months ago. A recent occurrence
in New York win tend to revive
public interest in the affair. 1t
seems that Hoke's wife had left
Atchison previous TO the shooting
scrape, on a visit east. taking with
her their child. Hoke waited some
time for her return, and then began
searches on record for the recovery
of his child. When Mrs. Hoke left
she told him she was going TO An
COLA, in the state of New York, and
there, after providing himself with
sufficient funds, he made his first
visit. Here his worst suspicious
were confirmed, for he found that
she had not been there at all. CO.
ing back to Atchison, he commence
ed the search. For over six months,
through every state in the union
and all over Canada, he sought his
lost and loved child. Here and
there he found traces OF his wife,
who was accompanied by her moth
er and the child, and who took
every possible means to disguise
themselves SO that he would not be
able to track them. In his journey
ing through Canada he found that
his wife and Marbourg had been
there. He could find no other trace.
The rest Of the story is told in the
following dispatch from New York,
dated Wednesday last:
Wearied and dispirited with the
terrible search, in which he had
travelled over Is, 600 miles, Hoke ar.
rived in Brooklyn. AS he had done
in every other place, he spent his
time travelling through the streets
eagerly scanning the face of every
child that looked like his lost dar.
ling. In his hopeless search, yes
terday afternoon, he happened tC
pass down Willoughby street. He
had acquired the habit of looking
at the windows of all the houses Al
he passed. AS he passed the house
129 WilloBghby street, he nearly
tainted ct beholdlng his child at tbs
Il window in the rooms of Mrs. E. G
Leland, his mother-in-lsw. Smoth
ering his Impotence, he hurried t.
; the sherif's Office and made q sworI
complaint, and obtaining the assist
ance of q deputy sheriff and 1
special badge for himself, he wen
70 the house where he had seen thu
child. It was in the arms of hi
mother-iu-iaw, who made . des
, perate resistance, but of course the.
! succeeded in getting possession.
, This morning, through his conn
sci, Mr.. Hoke made motion befor'
Judge Gilbert for the possession O
his child, and the story relates
above came out. The hearing wa
: set down for tomorrow, the Gus
, tody OF the child in the meantime
being awarded to the sheriff. Nj
= Hoke has not seen his wife sine
she left HIM, and he says, knowinI
that she loves another man bette
than she loves him, does not war
, to see her; but he will haYe hi
] child at the cost of his life, If neces
isary.

A GRATEFUL FATHER.-They tell
story of princely generosity of
an Oakland millionaire in Califor
MIA. He was in San Francisco
with his little son in 4 carriage;
he stepped aside to converse with
friend for moment, before leav
ing town for the drive home, and
left his spirited horses standing
with the reins in the boys hands.
The horses took fright and dash
ed off at full speed on one of the
roads. The father stood paralyzed
with terror, and felt himself en-
tirely helpless, and his boys life
in great danger. A swarthy Span
lard saw the horses start and
grasped the whole situation in a
twinkling. He mounted his horse
and was off after the runaways
like a fash of Lightning. He
gradually gained on the carriage
and finally came up to it. He Sc
cured the reins in his hands In a
way that none but a Spanish
vaquero could have done, and sue
ceeded in checking the horses mad
career. The affair ended by his
getting into the carriage and driv-
ing the boy back to his delighted
father unhurt. The man was evil
IDENTIFY poor, and the Oakland man,
in cordially thanking him for his
heroic act, invited him to his coun-
try seat the next day. After 3
good deal of hesitation the Span
lard accepted the invitation. He
had work that was pressing, but
the gentleman would not take no
for an answer. He went, and was
again both feelingly and substan-
TALLY thanked. The. Spaniard
thought nothing of what he had
done. It fell in his way to assist
o fellow creature and he did it;
that was all. The Oakland gen.
tleman thought it was not all. He
| had nothing about him worth Civ
ing yesterday, but he felt that the
service deserved something more
than cold thanks. He took the
Spaniard's hand and pressed into
i it the whole weight of his obliga-
tons. two silver half dollars, and
hoped the savior Of his son might
be happy. The Spaniard was SO
/ ungratefnl as to refuse the munifi-
| cent gift, mounted his horse, put
spurs in his TANKS, and dashed out
/ of Oakland, leaving the million
} aire stupefied at this new exhibit
ton OF mans ingratitude. The
| Spaniard having lost a day hurried
about his business, and the Oak
land man is one silver dollar rich.
