A Romance of CANADA.

just thirty years ago this summer a
little child, three years old, was PLAYING
on the stoop of its fathers house in
Quebec. The house was in Richardson
street, and in what are known as St.
Roch suburbs. For some reason the
chllds nurse was out of the way for a
time, and no one kept watch on its move
ments. When the family came to look
Tor the Ettle oae-a great feyorite with
ALT was gone. Inquiries were instant
ly made In every direction, but in vain.
Weeks, months, and years rolled away,
and the child was unheard of. At last
the family mourned their treasure as
dead. One morning last May a gentle
man went from Quebec to Montreal,
and being in the lat er city, stepped into
shop to buy hat. This gentleman
was frierd of the family VINO had lost
the child, and whose name was Richard.
He observed, on entering the shop, that
the keepers name was Richmond. This
trtliing and partial coincidence would
have made no impression bad he not di-
rectly after noticed surprising resem-
blance between Richmond, the halter,
and the Richard family of Quebec.
Going home to his lodgings, he wrote
the adventure to his mother, who lives
in that town. and, after posting the let
ter, felt strongly to return and cross
question Richmond touching his origin.
This was done, and to some surprise, for
Richmond declared that he had been
reared from infancy by an Indian wo-
man, whom he had been taught to re-
gard as his mother. She had always been
kind to him, but never, until lying on
her death-bed, confessed the fact that
she had stolen him from his parents
door when an infant, had brought him
into the forest among her own red
brethren, and raised him for her own.
His family name she said she had for
gotten. but gave that of ''RichmOnd"
as something like it. After the squaws
death the young man went to Quebec
and tried to find his people But the
change of name, his own extreme ignor-
ance and simplicity, and the probable
absence, at the time, of his parents. pre-
vented his success. Afterward, he made
his way to Montreal, and got into the
trade he was following when discovered.
The story was quickly conveyed to the
Richard family, and the mother came
on to Montreal, where, by certain birth
marks, known to herself, she was able
to corroborate the identity of her long
lost child. The process, being the OpDO-
site of that employed with an equally
mysterious halter in BOX and Cox" is
pronounced entirely satisfactory by the
Canadian press, which is consequently
in the Enjoyment of a sensation Of strict
" home manufacture. combined with
the rare merit of strict veracitv. If a

The Last supper.
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.


''And when they had sung a hymn they
What song sang the Twelve with the Sa-
vior
When finished the Sacrament wine?
We're they bowed and subdued in behav-
ior,
Or bold as made bold with sign?
Were the hairy breasts strong and defiant?
Were the naked arms brawny and
strong?
Were the bearded lips lifted reliant,
Thrust forth and full sturdy with song !?
What sang they? What sweet song of
Zion,
With Christ in their midst like crown
While here sat Saint Peter, the lion:
And there, like lamb, with head down.
Sat Saint John with his silken and raven
Rich hair on his shoulders, and eyes
Lifting up to the faces unshaven
Like sensitive child's in surprise.
Was the song as strong fishermen swing
ing
Their nets full of hope to the sea?
Or low, like the ripple wave singing
Sea-songs on their loved Galilee?
Were they sad with foreshadow of sorrows
Like the birds that sing low when the
breeze
Is tip toe with tale of tO-morrows-
Of earthquakes and sinking of seas?
All soft was their song as the waves are
That fall in low musical means
And sad should say as the winds are
That blow by the white graVestOnes.
From the NcLO VOlleTae.

CONCORD, n. H., July 8.
An attempt was made last night to
throw the Boston express train off the
track near Sunc0Ok. Two men were
seen placing ties upon the track by a
woman, whom they beat to insensbility
and dragged to concealment among the
bushes. She recovered consciousness
and managed to reach Suncook depot,
gave notice and prevented heimpendiLg
destruction. The ASSISTANTS robbed the
woman of her satchcl containing nearly
four hundred dollars The satchcl was
found, but in place Of the money was
piece Of paper sn which was plainly
written in lead pencil, I'VE made more
money than we should if we had tipped

Postal Matters.

WAsHINGTON. July g.
An agent of the PoStOflice Department
has just returned from three months
trip in the Territories. where he has been
endaged in estimating the distances of
the great mail stage routes preparatory
to the letting Of the quadrennial con-
tracts. Since most of the country is I'M
surveyed, it was difficult to determine
the length of the rout es with any accu-
racy.
Many Of these routes are owned by
Hon. Bradley Barlow, of st. Adams,
Vermont.
The business of the Postoffice Depart
ment is much delayed, owing to a lack Of
clerks, There is no appropriation, how
ever. for any additional service.
No more postal money order offices
will be created the present fiscal year,
the list having been closed. The appli-
cation of some Eastern towns have con-
scquently been denied.
The postal authorities are confident of
the negotiation of a favorable postal
treaty with Japan.
