Cincinnati Times, The daughter of-at
that time-one of our wealthy mer1
chants, was married under the most
f1attering auspices. 1t was not, how
ever, very long before the pair diseov-
cred that there was not anything con-
genial between them, and, after living
togetherssome nine years, and having
three children, they by mutual agree
ment were divorced, the children re-
manning with the father, heomother
being permitted to see them at her own
convenience The wife went home to
her father, who shortly afterward died,
hepelessly bankrupt. The woman,
who, previously, as the child of luxury
and the wife of opulence. had never
known what it was to want for asingle
thing, suddenly found herself thrown
out upon the world, and forced to seek
"a livelihood as best she could. .EsAt first
she undertook sewing for shops, then
attending stores, and finally keeping a
very plain boardiHg-house, in none Of
which did she. sueceedao' One day,
when almost driven to despair, she
mustered up courage and went to her
former home and asked the one who
had succeeded her as the mistress Of
the house if she would not befriend

haggard condition too plainly showed.

The BKITlSH MINISTRY dispatches from
London eutmate pretty clearly that Mr.. Glai-
stone, will resume the Premiership, as there
seems no prospect that the opposition will as
sumo the responsibility of forming a new govern
ment. Mr. Gladstone stated in the House Of
Commons yesterday that the Queen had made
it known to him that the opposition could not
form Il Cabinet, that he had placed his services
at her disposal, that he was then in cunsuta-
ton with his colleagues as to what their course
should be, and that he suggested an adjourn
mcut until Thursday. Mr.. Disraeli said that
her Majesty had been informed that he was
prepared to nominate new MiuiStry, but not
TO undertake to carry on the Government with
the present Parliament. Lord Granville made
a like statement to that of Mr.. Gladstone in
the Lords, and the Duke of Richmond made
Disratli's explanation.

we have before us the trishttul deficit 10 our
total school revenues of $780, 80 as compared
with last year-a difference Of more than one
half of the total amount received from public
funds" He says further: 1T is, Of course,
seen at glance that the result must be Il cor

for this sudden collapse OF our school system.

Immigration.

We are pleased to learn that through the IN
ducements offered by the laud scheme OF the
Orange, Alexandria, and Manassas Railroad
Company, Immigration is being attracted to this
section of the State, unsurpassed in fertility OF
soil, saubrity OF climate, accessibility to mar
ket, and al! the surroundings that make home
desirable, b. any part of the country; and that
already. one colony of thrifty farmers, with
their families, from Pennsylvania, have bought
lands from the company. and have settled near
Tuorcughfare, on the Manassas branch OF the
road where they are doing well: aud that ot.!ers
Knowing of their success are making prepara-
tons to follow aud settle in the saiuc nclGhbor-
hood
|, is principally through the inStrunent1llty
Of Mr.. John S. Barbour, President OF the u,
\. 4 NJ. Il. r., and the originator of the
scheme, that these Immigrants have been III
duced 10 seek homes in our midst and he Is
still beudiug his energies in the same direction,
in the hope Of assisting 10 build up the waste
places OF the State, increasing her material
prosperity, and adding to her p pu'atlou a
class of people who will make good and useful
citizeuS, Interested in tae prosperity CT Nr-
ginia.
The company have made several judicious
purchases Of bodies OF land advantageously To-
Gated, which they arc selling to boua fle set
tiers a, low prices, and upon accommodating
terms With ali the advantages and facilities
of location and communication, these lands
especially, should Induce immigration, not only
from abroad, but from other States. 1t can be
demonstrated that no such inducements are
held out elsewhere, aud that Notwithstanding
products here more than over-jaance the
amount raised on the prairie lands, while the
disadvantages that have to be put up with
there do not exist here at al. The high prices
at which lands are held in the more populous
States of the North will euable farmers
from that section to make advantageous invest
ments here and at the same time give them
sufficient capital on which to operate until they
can realize from the products of their farms.
The company have agents 10 SINE of the
Northern States, advising the people OF the adj
van:aycS offered to them mere, aud 1t is hoped
that the tide oucc set in this direction, may
continue to swell until the vast bodies Of uu
cultivated lands, not ony III this, bat 10 other
parts of our State, shall be thickly settled. and
its genial soil made more fertile AID produc-
tive, so that in material prosperity, as 10 other
ways, she may again be the leading State IN
the Union.

startled by the sight of runaway horse at
achcd to butchers wagon da>hing up the
street at fearful pace. Presently the at
tiightcd animal took to the sidewalk, on which
many persons were passing, among them nur-
Sery-mald with three children, two walking
alongside and the third in baby carriage.
Suddenly the girl turned and saw her danger
but with remarkable sefpossesson she grasp-d
two of the children. took them 10 her arms and
landed them out Of danger, but too late to res
cue the baby. Down came the maddeoed
horse, directly in the wake of the baby-car-
rage and while a shuddcr of terror possessed
all who witnessed the sight be passed the car
riage, struck it, breaking off the top, but leav
ing its little occupant unframed.
