The Old fashioned Mother.

Thank god, some of us have an old
fashioned mother, not woman Of the
period, enameled and painted, with her
great chignon, her curls, and hustle,
whose white jeweled hands never felt
the clasp of baby fingers; but dear,
old-Ashioned, sweet-voiced mother,
with eyes in whose clear depth the
love light shone, and brown hair Just
threaded with silver, lying smooth
upon her faded cheek. Those dear
hands, worn with toll, gently guided
our tottering steps in childhood, and
smoothed our pillow in sickness, ever
reaching out to US in yearning tender
ness. Blessed is the memory of an
old fashioned mother. 1t floats to us
now, like the beautiful perfume from
some wooded blossoms. The music of
other voices may be lost, but the en-
trancing memory of her will echo in
in our souls forever. Other faces NAV
fade away away and be forgotten, bat
hers will shine on. When in the fit
full pauses of Busy life our feet wander
back to the old homestead, and, cross
ing the well-worn threshold, stand
once more in the room SO hallowed by
her presence, our dependence comes
over us, and we kneel down in the mol
ten sunshine, streaming through the
open window-just where long years
ago we knelt by our mothers knee.

saved US from plunging into the deep
abyss of sin. Years have filed great
drifts between her and us, but they
have not hidden from our sight the
glory OF her pure unselfish love.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. Il.

CHICAGO, H., Sept. IA.
The schooner Havana arrived at this
port last night, bringing Reuben Bur-
roughs, supposed to be the only sur
vivor of the propeller Equinox. He
was picked up eighty miles southwest
of Manitowoc Island on Saturday, after
floating on the pilot house thirty-one
hours. He states that the first appear
ance of danger was noticed at one
O'Clock Friday morning; the sea was
very rough, the vessel unusually hard
to steer, and about that time her bull
warks were stove, and the boat COM
menced leaking aft. The water gained
fast and it soon became evident that
all efforts to save the craft would be
unavailing. The schooner Mars, which
was in tow, was signaled to come along
side, but the waves were so high that
it was impossible. The port boat was
then lowered. and the mate, owner,
Waterman, engineer, firemen and five
deck hands got in. but it is supposed
they were swamped, as nothing has
been heard from them. The propeller
went down almost Immediately, the
time being two O'Clock Friday morning.
Burroughs and the second cook foated
on the wreck of the pilot house. from
which the latter was washed in an ex-
hausted condition before being rescued.
The schooner Panama hove in sight,
Burroughs chung to the raft. and about
eight clock yesterday was taken from
his frail float by the schooner Panama.
He thinks the disaster is due entirely
to the severity of the storm, by means
of which the seams were opened and
the bulwarks broken and free ingress
allowed TO the water.

THE Maine election which took place
last Monday has resulted in the election
of General Conpor, Republican, for
Governor. This was as much expected
as it was that Kentucky would 90
Democratic, and the only interest taken
in the election was on majorities. Last
year Dingley, Republican, was elected
Governor by over 1000 majority.
The returns received by telegraph
to-day report Connor's majority at 5000.
This is a marked falling off, and shows
that the tidal wave of reform has
reached distant Maine. This reduced
majority will lessen Blaine's chances for
the Republican nomination for Presi-
dent next year, and shows that Maine
is by no means certain to go Republi-
can at the Presidential election.

In order to remove all doubts as to
the currency of the results of preceding
investigations, DR.. Herwig has sought
to determine the velocity of transmits
sion of magnetic influence by separating
the various portions of his apparatus
to very considerable distances; and he
concludes that if the action of the ter
restrial magnetism really possesses a
definite velocity, it must amount to at
least half million miles per second;or
in other words, that the terrestrial
magnetic influence makes itself at any
point of the earth's surface less than
one-three-hundredth of second.

The Path To- True Reform.

There is another hopeful piece of
news from South Carolina. Gov.
Chamberlain appointed judge Thos.
J. Maokey to investigate the contiuu.
ally recurring troubles in Edge6eld
County. Judge Mackoy is ono of
the ablest, and most outspoken Re-
publioans in the South, and has re-
ceived II any marks Of favor from the
State and Federal Administration.
He lays the blame chiefly upon the
gross abusos in the county govorn.
ment, aud declares that the habit of
tolored militia officers in calling out
armed men for tho settlement Of per.
sonal quarrels between whites and
blacks is Il means of oppression and a
prime cause OF, disorder. The same
view was presented in special cor
respondeuco of tho Tribune several
months ago, and applies to nearly all
the. distur tances Of the peace that
have OCCURRED in South Carolina
during the last four years. by
abating the militia nuisance Gov.
Chamberlain may give another evil
depcelof the SINCERITY Of his profes
sious eff E. desire for. reform; and we
are inclined to think he will do 80.
Reform in the county governments
can be effected only through resto-
rntion of the intelligence and proper
