CUMMING lin this city, March Is, 1874,
Mrs. RACHEL ELLEN CUMMTN6s. wife al Can't
!. :. cummings, aged 2 years, 10 moT tls and
We Lad watched her fading day by day.
and knew the dread hour must come ~ last
spite OF the brave battle waged by science
against the grim monster " Death. 1t was
hard TO see her die: so lovely, so full OF hope
and energy, with so much to N AXE ltfe beauti-
fnl, for she was the center gf as lovely little
homeas heart of woman could desire. There
was tnaJ something about its " hole garnature,
from tie well-kept flower glirden and the
Vlne-trellaced porch to the lnxuriously fur
nished cottage Itself, which bespoke it at once
as the easket provided by some loving heart
Ter the keeping OF his jewels. Yet death
slowly but surely approached TO take from its
heart or father aud child desolafe. n He must
tell her Of this sentence OF death, lead so
surely on her face aud in her fading form.
There might be, he said, sone dearly che .
ished wish unspOken in hfe to which her
dying lips would give utteranee. With arms
closely ciasped around hts treasure be told
her aud asked; =" Is there in your heart no
unfainlIeo desire? have Ou 10 plans for our
chiid which yOu wish carried out when you
are gomez" With a sweet ard loving smile
she answers: " No, love; do lust as you think
best in all things" The faith given with her
fresh, gtritsh heart had stood The test Of four
teen years and burned brigh tly TO the last.
Her life had been daily inelsuse OF duty 10
her God and faith in her husband, and she
could calmly sink 10 rest at It's close without
one doubt OF the love Of either. With liiles
labors ended she sleeps well-his loss her
galn-and we can only pray that God Will
take in HIS especial keeping the husband and
child left 50 desolate. b.

grees fifteeIl minutes west, latitude fifty
degrees twenty-five minutes north, on
her return TO Sc. Johns, and the lookout
reported q iiteamer, apparently moving
only under sail, with her flags st half
mast. After signaling her, / went on
board myself, when / discovered her to
be the stesmer Tigress, of polar fame.
Her captain aud chief officers were on
deck. / wss then informed that on the
day before, OF two O'Clock in the after
noon, the vessel was shaken all over by
q terrific explosion Of the boiler, which
Greater great terror and confusion, as the
escaped sttiam completely enveloped
every comIIaFtment below. In cOnse-
quenee, all the steam facilities had been
destroyed, t.nd they had been under sail
against a head-wind for twenty-four
hours. Wien ! reached the deck Of the
Tigress q nllmber Of men were making
up and ntiling together rough pine
wood boxeL / asked the commander
what icy were for, and he said they
were designed for receiving the bodies
Of the unfortunate men who had beeu
killed by the accident. On the day of
the explosion the weather was dread
fully cold, with stiff breeze blowing,
and heavy swell on. A number Of the
men had gone below, after watch, and
had turned in on top Of the boiler, for
he sake of the warmth. Nineteen of
he crew we're thus reposing when the
rash occurred, and some Of them were
literally stalded beyond recognition.
The constsTnation was fearful. Two
vrere'on duty at the time, and

From the Wor0en Blosuaphy.l
Coming from this personal twaddle to
matters Of great importance, we find
Mr. Chase, while be was secretary OF the
treasury, thus freely sketching the Pres
6Sent, his colleagues, and the general
commanding the army, and al the same
time giving his opinion Of public events
and ul es5ures. September y, 1852, be
writes the following: Little OF interest
occurred 1T the department to-day. Ex-
penses ale enormous, increasing instead
Of diminishing; and the i'll successes in
ghe field have so affected government
stocks that il is impossible to obtain
money on temporary Deposit and these
deposits very lutte exceed --. We
are forced, therefore, 10 rely on the in
creased issue Of United States, which
hurts almost IS much as il helps; for the
omission of congress To take any mea-
sures 10 restrict bank-note circulation
makes the issue Of these notes a stimu-
liant TO its increase, so that the augment
alton on the currency proceeds by dOu-
ble action, and prices rise propOrtlona-
