How He Got 100000,

An item of much historical interest
IS contained in the account OF the es
tate of Robert Roberts, of Medfeld,
presented in the Probate Court of Ded-
ham, Mass. It seems that the father
of Robert Roberts, whose account has
just been fled, was captain of an
American vessel, and during the first
French revolution, when Robespierre
was in power, called at a French port.
While there wealthy Frenchman, who
had gained the hostility of the govern
ment, secured a passage on Captain
Roberts vessel and placed the sum of
$100, 900 in gold in the cabin. Pre-
vious to the sailing of the vessel the
government arrested the intended fugi-
tive and beheaded him. Captain Rob.
erts, fearing he would get into trouble
and perhaps lose his head, Immediately
set sail from the port, and, upon arriv-
ing at home, left the dangers of the
deep and invested the 100000 in the
Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance
Company. A number of heirs laid
claim to the money at the decease OF
the son, but the court has acknowl
edged the present holder the rigL tful
heir.

How to Manage Her.

A man named Taddles, in Virginia,
has got his wife in proper subjection,
and means to keep her SO. "Oh," :"
says he, in telling about it, "there
amt many who know how to rule q
wife properly. Now, my old woman is
one of the best-natured women in the
world, but she's got deuce of tenn
per. Whenever I see she's got her
madness up, if it's dozen times day,
1 just quietly say nothing, but rather
humor her, and she comes around all
right after a while. Even when she
throws things at me or gives wild
dash at me with the broom or rolling
pin, 1 just dodge little, and she never
hits me third time before l get my
eyes on her, and let her know I disap-
prove of such actions on her part.
Perhaps I have to leave the house to
show her this, but she sees the point.
Then, by being careful not to irritate
her, and letting her have her own way,
1 manage make her do as please. And
you bet make her understand and ap
preciate my discipline. Oh, I keep
her under perfect control A man
has, you know, got to be master in his
own house, or your wife will ride you
down as if you wasn't nobody. My
wife's a perfect angel in her natural
disposition, but any other man but me
would spoil her."

The Home Heart.

The babe that nestled in my arms COOS for me
but in dreams
The prattler crowned with golden curls lives
but in memory's CLEANS
What marvel, then, that loving fear blends
with tho pride and JOY
That watches, on his manhood's verge, the
bold and bonny boy3
The happy smile of infancy still wreathes his
rosy lips,
The fearless light of chldhood's eyes knows
nothing of eolipse
But firmer tread and stronger clasp attest tho
rolling years,
While growing, daring thought and will awake
tho woman Fears.
My son, wiser hand than mine will shape tho
onward way,
A greatet Power soothe thy night and guide
thee through the day.
So, m patient impotence, strive to stand
apart,
Only praying, for thy fathers sake, oh, keep
tho frank homo heart
Keep tho pure unstinted charity, the trust in
all things fair,
The hope that mid each earthly cloud still feels
the sunshine there
The faith in goodness, love, and truth, that,
spite OF fault and fall,
Looks on the bright world God has made, and
owns His touch on all.
So shall tho light fool spring unharmed along
the perilous path,
So shall the brave hand clasp and keen the one
immortal wreath.
BY tho yearning Of tho lonely life, whose chief
est joy thou ar,
Oh, darling of orr severed lives, keep still tn,

Suffering In Nebraska.

Col. N. A. M. Dudley, q. 8. A., has,
at the instance of General Ord, COM
manding the Department. of the Platte,
made careful inspection Of those
counties in Nebraska that were visited
by grasshoppers. He has just SUBJ
mitted an elaborate report which con-
tains by all odds the best statement of
facts in regard to the scourge that has
been made. Colonel Dudley rode from
house to house, accompanied by eourr
iers, and acquired his information per-
sonally and at first hands. In Red
Willow county he found many houses
abandoned, and the settlers who re-
mained had only ten or fifteen days
provisions on hand. They informed
Colonel Dudley also that they did not
know where further supply gould be
obtained. The grasshoppers have left
their fields bare, the buffalo have gone
to distant pastures about the head
waters OF the Republican, faf beyond
the reach of these poor people, and
their domestic animals areEroduced to
mere skeletons. A thorough! canvass
showed that there are 544persons in
Red Willow county who musthave help
within ten days. In Furnass county,
substantially the same deplorable state
of affairs was found. Many settlers
had left, but others could not get away.
The settlers on the Sappa And the
Beaver were brought together by cour-
iers to meet Colonel Dndler at Arapa-
hoe. There are $500 people in Furnas
county. One-ffth win require aid in
thirty days, and the number will be in
creased, 80 that full .three-fourths win
have to be supported before spring.
Many instances of actual present suffer-
ing are mentioned. Harlan county has
many suffering families already. Meet
ings held in the interests of relief were
attended by men whose wives and chill
dren we're absolutely without food"
Colonel Dudley gives the facts in
precise manner, by precincts, and they
all bear the same complexion. The
same is true Of Gosper county. The
following is quoted from Colonel Dud-
ley's report: 81 9iaii iis'9
"Great suffering exists. in all five OF
these extensive frontier counties to
fearful extent. The settlers are, in
most instances, scattered ever O large

A Terrific storm at Syracuse,
SAD DROWNING ACCIDENTS.

SAD DROWNING ACCIDENTS.
A terrific storm swept over Syracuse,
Sunday afternoon, laying waste large
amount of property. Houses were un-
rooted and chimneys blown down. On
lake Onondaga the storm was terrible.
A party of six men in the sail boat Chal.
lenge, seeing the storm approach, at
tempted to run ashore, but the wind
struck them and their sails were torn in
to shreds. They were soon after cap
sized, when about quarter of mile
from shore, but successfully landed after
some effort. A boat containing an old
man and two young ladies, was capslzed
and all we're drowned. A young man
was also drowned. A number of boats
were picked up empty on the west shore
of the lake, and it is supposed that sew
eral lives we're lost. 1t was also reported
at Utica, on Sunday, that twenty persons
had been drowned in Oneida lake, dur
ing the day.

Murder at st. Adams.

About 1890 o'clock Thursday night
a cry Of murder was heard proceeding
from house eff ill-repute kept by Mrs.
Haley, in the unsavory locality of Cath
rine street. Chief of Police Place was
notified and Immediately proceeded to
the scene of the disturbance, accom-
panied by his deputies. Upon entering
the house, it was found that pedler
had been enticed there by three rufians,
Tom McDermott, Mike Haley, and a
Mike Sullivan, who occupies the house
next Haley's, for the ostensible purpose
of robbery. All had been drinking, and
getting INTO dispute, they soon came to
blows, when they all "went for" the
peder, beating him in frightful man
ner, his face being almost beaten to
jelly. After considerable hard work by
the police, the men were arrested and
the pedler with them. On arrival at the
lookup the pedler said he had been
stabbed, and upon examining him it
was found that he had been struck in
the face with knife, inficting a not
very serioas wound. He had some $50
or $40 in his pocket, which he says they
tried to get away from him but did not
succeed
