THE STRENGTH OF A MOTHER'S LOVE.
The almost supeThuman strength and
courage of women under circumstances of
great peril, or when the maternal inst net
is aroused to the utmost for the preserva-
ton of their offspring, has been recently
exemplitied in a most extraordinary man
ner at SeganO, small village south of
Milan. a child of four years playing near
an old well but carelessiy covered over
went too near the insecure edge, and, be-
fore an elder sister could reach her, was
precipitated to the bottom. The frighten-
ed child ran screaming to her mother with
the fearful news. The latter, a work
woman i'll the factory, stood for a moment
as if paralyzed, when, as if realizing the
full danger of her little one, instantaneous
ly flew across the count, and with her eyes
fixed upon the water below, pallid, mute,
teeth hard set together, she thought only
of rescuing her child, and clutching the
old coping of the well, let herself down
from stone to stone uutii she reached the
water, where an iuner row of stones gave
her footing. The little one had caught
by Its clothing to this Jagged wall, and the
brave woman, reaching far over firmly
grasped the child, and lifting it free, held
it safe above water with one hand, while
with the other she steadied herself against
the damp slippery wall.
In the meantime the alarm had been
given, and the workmeu who had come to
the rescue let down ropes to which the
woman wa attach herself and child
Bu* impossible to accomplish
o of the child. The poor
- not again bear the terror of
!, nsr baby for an instant, and with
Iooked of batfied, hopeless despair thrown
upon those who waited breathlessly for the
result, was about to resign herself to her
awful fate. when Il sudden grasping of the
rope below gave renewed courage to the
spectators. The undaunted woman had
made another effort for life, and success
fully. Slowly lifting the child to hermou
she had taken iii her teeth 4 portion of the
dress, and safely held it, until she made
fast the rope to each. This communicated
TO the people above, a shout went up, as
one more fearless than the rest, ut the risk
OF his own life, went down TO the rescue of
mother and child, which lac accomplished
by intrepid coolness and undaunted cour-
age, amid the hearty bravos of the men.

This city of the dead, at Washington. ID.

yirginians. Among the monuments the
least conspicuous is the one commemora-
tive Of the services Of Beverly Kennon,
captain in the United States navy and Chief
of bureau of construction and equipment.
Born in Mecklenburg county, Va, April
z, 1888, he entered the naval service

general court of Virginia, December 10,
1926; secretary of the navy, September 10,

Mount shasta.

In the northern part of California, unfre-
ouented by the ubiquitous tourist, and as
vet scarcely touched by the pen of the
versatile Bohemian, lies region, which,
in the grandeur and variety of its noun
tain scenery, is suggestive of the marve-
lous glacid districts of the Alps. Mont
Blanc, the Jungfrau, and the Matterhorn,
were all unconsciously suggested to me as
| caught full view of the rugged snowy
peaks of Shasta, standing like sentinel
at the gate of the rich Sacramento valley.
Differing radically from the Yosemite in
the character of its landscapes, it has every
thing to gain and little to lose by the
comparison.
Around its base, magnificently watered
and wooded, lies one of the finest hunting
and pasture grounds of the Continent;
while rising up to height of IA ,443 feet is
one of the most remarkable regions Of vol
canic desolation now in existence. The
brilliant hues of the trees near the base
made sort Of wild mosaic of the forest
above us, the colors changing successfully
TO 'somber gray, dull earthly hue, and a
ileecy white as the eye sought the top, at
which it seemed to me that | should never
grow weary of gazing but nudge and a
word from the driver assured us that the
great numbering stage on which we were
seated was approaching "Sisson's ~ This
is station on the California and Oregon
tape-road, 255 miles north of
Sacramento, rs miles of which distance we
had lust staged from Reddng, on the Cali
fornia and Oregon branch Of the Central
Pacific railway. 1t has an elevation OF
$500 feet above sea level, and is our point
OF departure for the mountain. SissOn pro-
ydes horses, blankets. provisions, and o
euide-the last not the least essential, for
It is over eighteen miles to that coveted
summit, and half of that must be traversed
on foot, along tortuous and rugged paths.
MANY a time before had done the assent,
| thought of Goethe's words: Height
charms us /; the steps that lead to them do
not"
The ride toward the top of the noun
tain is very beautiful, especially in the late
evening of the year. The leaves of the
aspen, willow, mountain mahogany, and
Balm of Gilead have lost their vivid green,
SO remarkable earlier in the summer, and
it has been succeeded by rich, delicate
orange, blended green and yellow, or an
apple-rcd. These exquisite hues, mingled
with the heather green of the pines, ant
the brght-glazed green Of the cedar, ant
the green-tinted white of the silver frs
give an attractive variety and beautiful
contrast of colors rarely seen elsewhere
The aspen leaves especially, tinted witt
golden and orange, and sensitive to TIL
slightest breath Of wind, seem like myriad
of gaudy butterflies futtering in the sun
light. The limbs Of the aspen are smoot
and glistening and of delicate graysl
white, beautifully complementng the dark
laminated bark of the surrounding conife
rous giants one suggesting feminin
beauty, grace and timidty; the other mus
cular strength. and the settled harshness c

The Constitutional Convention Of New
Jersey, following the action of the Penn,
sylvania Convention, has adjourned until
the 9TH of October. The principal amend.
ments thus far submitted are the following:
To make member of the legislature in
eligible who accepts free railroad tickets
that members shall receive but $500 per
annum that no Judge of a court shall ride
free or hold railroad stock !; that CAPT.
tai punishment shall be abolished
and Imprisonment for life substituted,
the pardoning power being disallow.
cd !; that the court of chancery shall
be abolished; that no man shall hold an
office who shall have influenced caucus
by money or otherwise that any man who
has been q defaulter to the state or gen
eral government shall be deprived Of the
right Of voting and that q man shall be
entitled to vote after sixty days residence
in county. The influence of the present
farmers anti-rairoad movement is clearly
traceable in many of these radical changes
which have been proposed.

A CURIOUS SUPERsTITIoN.-ln cer-
tain localities of the Nord there exists an
old belief that when two marriages take
place at the same time, the bride who leaves
the church before the other will have boy
for her first child. Two weddings were
celebrated simultaneously few days back
at Arches, in that department. The cere-
mony over, the two couples with their
friends fastened to reach the door, and ar
rived there just at the same time. The
situation became embarrassing, for the two
parties had stopped and exchanged looks of
defiance. Fortunately, the mayor was a
man of resources, for he stepped forward,
and, giving an arm to each of the young
wives, took them out together, to the great
relief of all the friends on both sides.

no fear Of being hurt when any one comes

road without fear of the vehicle behind

ed without assistance, and drove seven
miles and back the first afternoon. Neither
of these colts has naturally the best of
tempers, but they are now a very pleasant
team to drive in any place or to any kind
Of carriage. Kindness in all cases is neces-
sary in training q do not say breaking,
colts; and firmness is quite as necessary.
In early training young colt will very
soon learn that man is his master, and that
he will not be hurt if he is quiet. The
colt learns little at a time, too, and learns
that little well, and he never forgets it.
Ia beginning with colts old enough to
work, they are expected to learn too much
at once. A colt should not be expected
to learn all he is to know at one time, any
more than boy should learn all that i
necessary for him to know at one term o

who gave Sheridan the information which
led to the victory at Winchester, has pass

her gold watch and she also received q

but in an evil hour she was induced to mar

the end; for the lady has taken her clerk
ship again, and her husband is making a
