Icebergs.

The steamship Scandinavian, while off
the Banks of Newfoundland on her pass
age to Baltimore, was for thirty-six hours
among icebergs. So numerous were the
frozen monsters that at one time one
hundred were in sight, and two hundred
and fifty were seen during the thirty-six
hours that the steamship cautiously
threaded her way. The Baltimore Sun
thus speaks of the sketches made of them
by Mr.. Jones, the chief officer OF the
steamer:
The icebergs are in all shapes, and in
many instances of great height, one hav-
ing an altitude of three hundred and
fifty feet above the water. Fancy can
find resemblance to many objects among
them. One seems to be great ice
cathedral with its lofty spires, another
an island Of ice. with modest looking
country church at one end others are
formed with gigantic arches, and in
others are deep caverns. Some OF the
icebergs are grounded in water that is
one hundred fathoms deep, showing how
far they extend beneath the surface.
Those that have grounded will probably
remain stationary all summer, while
those afloat will pass out into mid-ocean.
Mariners fear the small icebergs that are
only few feet above and many below
the surface more than those Of huge pro.
portions which can be easily discovered

The Heroine of Newport HarbOr.

Miss Ida Lewis has again distinguished
herself by rescuing man who was In
danger of drowning in the lower Newport
harbor. Miss Lewis first came into
prominence in 1866, when she saved the
life of a soldier who had set out for a sail
on the harbor in a light skiff. 1t was
one of the coldest and most clustering
days ever known in that latitude, yet
a girl but twenty-five years old, impelled
by the noblest spirit of humanity, ven
tured to the assistance of q man who had
brought himself into sorry plight
through sheer foolhardiness.
One day during the autumn of the
next year, while a terrible gale was
raging, two men started to cross the har-
Dor with several sheep. One Of the ami
mails fell overheard while the boat was
rocked by the heavy sea, and its keepers,
in trying to save it, were in imminent
peril of swapping their craft. Ida Lew
is saw them from the window of her
fathers lighthouse on Lime Rock, and in
a few moments was rowing them in
safety toward the shore. After landing
the men, she went back aud rescued the
sheep.
These brave deeds, with others of less
striking character, made Miss Lewis
name famous throughout the world, and
won for her the title of "thc Grace Dar-
ling of America !" but in 1869. the news
papers were filled with the story of what
was perhaps her greatest exploit. On
the 10th Of March, two young soldiers
set sail from Newport for Fort Adams
i'm small boat, under the guidance of a
small boy who pretended to understand
the simple rules of navigation. Mrs.
Lewis happened to be looking out of the
lighthouse window, and saw a squall
strike the boat and overturn it. She
called to her daughter, telling her of the
casualty. Ida, though i'll at the time,
rushed out of the house, launched her
life. boat and sprang in, with neither hat
on her head nor shoes on her feet. BY
the time she reached the scene of the
disaster, the boy had persisted, and the
two soldiers were clinging desperately to
the wreck, almost ready to lose their
hold from exhaustion. They were
dragged into the life-boat and carried to
Lime Rock, and, with careful nursing,
were soon sufficiently restored to proceed
TO Fort Adams.
Miss Lewis repeated acts Of philan.
thropy have been recognized by gifts at
various times, but no national testimo
nial, so far as we are aware, has yet been
offered to her. True generosity, like
true virtue, is its own reward, and we O
the world are not often disposed to med
die with its quiet enjoyment by its pos
SCISSOR. It seems eminently fitting, how
ever, that among the first to receive th'
new decoration to be bestowed by Con
gress for heroic deeds in saving life
should be the heroine of Newport Har
bor.-New York Evening Post.

Emmy Cures.

Cesar held that to die quickly was to die
happily; so, too, thought one whose case
was cited by Montaigne as an instance
of fortune playing the physician. Jason
Phereus, troubled with an incurable inn
postumation, resolved to end his pain by
diving in battle, and throwing himself in
the thickest Of the fight, was run
through the body, which caused the i'm
postumation to break, and his wound
healing, he found his life enjoyable after
all. This lucky hero, who could brave
death better than he could endure pain,
owed his cure to foe. A quinsy-afflicted
cardinal had to thank monkey for
like good turn.
The physicians had left him to die,
and as ne lay, hopelessly waiting for the
end, the dying cardinal saw his servants
carry off everything that was movable,
without being able even to expostulate
with the thieves. At length his pet ape
came into the room, and, taking the hint
from the provident lackeys, looked
around for something he could appropri-
ate. Nothing was left but the cardinals
hat; this the ape donbed, and, proud OF
his novel headgear, INDUCED in such odd
antics that his all but dead master burst
into hearty fit of laughter; the quinsy
broke, and the cardinal recovered, az
much to his own astonishment as to the
dismay of his plundering servants.

Concerning Large Ears.

Large ears, says theorist, mounting
his hobby, hear things in general, and
denote broad, comprehensive views and
modes of thought; while small ears hear
things in particular and show disposi-
tion to oindividualize, often accompanied
by the love of the minute. Large ears
are usually satisfied with learning the
leading facts of the case, with the general
principal involved; too strict an atten-
ton to the enumeration of details, es-
pecially all repetition of the more unim-
portant, is wearisome to them. People
with such ears like generality, and are
usually fitted to conduct large enter
prises; to receive and pay out money in
large sum- they prefer to give with a
free hand, without reference to the
amount. Small ears, on the contrary,
desire to know the particulars of the
story, as well as the main facts; take de-
light often in examining, handling, or
constructing tiny specimens of work.
manshiP, are disposed to be exact with
respect to inches and ounces in buying
or selling, to the extent at least of know
ing the exact number over or under the
stated measure given or received. Peo-
pie with such ears would, in most cases,
prefer retail to wholesale business.

The Sufrerings of Clara Morris.

The New York correspondent of the
Baltimore american writes sad news of
Clara Morris. He says: 1t was known
that she suffered much before leaving for
Europe, and during her last series Of per.
formances many times she was carried
fainting from the stage, and only recov-
cred by the strength of mighty will,
which impelled her to the conscientious
performance of what she had undertaken.
Her disease was most distressing. 1t was
curvature of the spine, originating in
privation in childhood, and rooted by
want of the proper attention and treat
ment in later years. Three years ago it
could probably have been arrested, but
it was crisis in her profession, and upon
success in surmounting many obstacles
her whole future seemed to depend.
Naturally, also, her friends as we'll as
herself failed to realize the profoundly
serious nature of her troubles, and that
complete recovery would follow intervals
of rest and the various methods of treat
ment recommended by attending physi-
clans. During the past summer, how
ever, the development of the disease has
been rapid. A sea voyage failed entirely
to produce any change for the better, and
the fiat of the highest medical author
tiles abroad confirmed her worst fears,
and condemned her to terrible opera
tiOn, the same to which Charles Sumner
submitted for the cure of the same dis
ease. Its main feature is the burning of
the flesh of the back from the neck down
to the waist with red hot irons. This
horrible torture poor Clara Morris has
endured. The operation was perfCrmed
in Paris, in the presence of Mrs. Worth
ingtOn, Dom Piatt's sister-in-law, who
has been travelling with her; Mrs. Cleve-
land, her daughter; Miss Gabrielle
Greeley, and Sir William Belmore, the
attending physician. Her medical at
tendants wished her to take chloroform,
but she refused, and heroically bore the
frightful agony until the cruel process
had been repeated four times. The pain
and smell of her own burning flesh be-
came too much for her. Nature, even
her brave nature, could stand no more,
and she tainted dead away; nor were
they certain for long time whether
consciousness could be restored, or that
the vital spark had not been tortured out
of its socket. 1t was impossible therefore
to complete the operation, which re-
quires that the process of burning be re-
peated six times, but whether it will be
repeated when the patient gains strength
is not certainly knewn. Her husband,
Mr.. Harriott, has suffered scarcely less
than his wife in his absence from her.
Added to his anxieties on her account,
has been dangerous illness of hisbrother
and partner in business, who is not ex-
pected to live from day to day. Ofcourse
there are doubts whether Clara Morris
will be able to keep her fall engage
ments, but fortunately they do not begin
until November, and she herself hopes
by that time to have sufficiently recov-
cred. Miss Morris is now on her way
home

WHAT'S A BONANzAf

You wander through the mountains Of Nevada
Forlorn, alone, and think how very sad
Life lot Is yours then strike deep, getting madderi
When, suddenly, as II your heart to glad, "a
Big gold nugget pops into your pan, Sir
That's q bonanza.
You purchase, maybe, on an empty pocket,
With fear and trembling worthless shares OF stock II
Goes straight ahead, like honest Davy Crockett.
Then men bow down and call you great man, Sir
That's a bonanza.
You mediate, perhaps, shrewd invention,
And give IL all your labor and attention,
With pain and toll you wouldn't want TO mention
At last happy thought slips in without intention,
And makes perfection OF your plan, Sir
That's a bonanza.
You go into the market matrimonial;
Your ways are IRE peace; your paths are bright and
You meet with beauty, sweetness, love and money,
all;
The kindly fairies stand ready to pony all
Their good gifts up, and place them In your hand,
Sir
lawyer, maybe, In your Office sitting,
With dreams OF debts and duns before you fitting;
You fear good luck will ne'er begin it's hitting.
In steps stranger, who, in terms most fitting,
Gives you fine fat chancery plea to answer
That's bonanza.
That luck is fortune always has been toldf
Whate'er we do, the fates still make and old us
IL luck in Its embrace at last infod us,
Filling us full Of glory, or Of gold dust:
50 that the worlds respect We can command, Sir
That's bonanza.

Multum in ParyO.

Occupation is the scythe of time.
To live long it is necessary to live
slowly.
The offender never pardons.
Nature and wisdom always say the
same.
l am never merry when l hear good
music.
Oaths are but words, and words are
but wind.
There is music in all things if men only
had ears.
Nobility should be elective, not hered-
itary.
Address makes opportunities, the want
of it gives them.
Heaven sends us misfortunes as a
moral tonic.
Every human feeling is greater and
larger than the exciting cause.
Fear is the white-lipped sire of subter-
fuge and treachery.
Troubles spring from idleness, and
grievous tolls from needless ease.
Fortune is like market, where many
times, if you wait, the price will fall.
If we would not Hatter ourselves the
fattery of others could not harm us.
In Eastern lands they talk in flowers,
and tell in a garland their loves and
cares.
Nature has sometimes made a fool
but coxcomb is always of mans own
making.
He is not only idle who does nothing;
but he is idle who might be better EN-
ployed.
When fortune means to men most good,
she looks upon them with threatening
eye.
To me the meanest flower that blows
can give thoughts that do not often lie
too deep for tears.
Real friendship is slow grower, and
never thrives unless engrafted upon a
stock of known and reciprocal merit.
If we would build on a sure founda-
tion in friendship, we must love oui
friends for their sakes rather than our
own.
A wise man in the company of those
who are ignorant has been compared by
the sages to beautiful girl in the com
pany of blind men.

safe in life and limb. Unloosing the
rope, we found that she was completely
bound hand and foot with wire. Sam
was soon with us, and helped to convey
her to a place of safety, where, as soon
as she recovered from her fright, she told
us of the origin of the fire, and how she
came to be bound and incapable of doing
any thing for herself.

went directly to the hotel and to bed.

noise in my room, and in the moonlight

Sam, at the conclusion of the above
narrative, started back to find Cubini,
but she had gone, and nothing more was
heard of her for months, when we learned
through New Orleans paper that in a
fit of insanity she had taken her life at
st. Louis. Although in our consterna-
ton at the time of the fire we believed
the hotel doomed, yet the building did
not suffer very material damage, and
Miss La Rose would not have suffered
the least harm by remaining in her
room.
Afterwards learned that Cubini had
for months previous to joining my COM
pany been an inmate of an insane asy-
Ium, though for years she had been cele..
brated in the Eastern Slope" as one of
the most daring of ascensionists, and it
was through fall from the wire that she
received injuries which affected her
mind. - ..

why He Didn't Hang Himself.

The following is an editorial paragraph
in the st. Paul Pioneer Press: 1t would
seem that the frenzied editor of the
Hutchinson Enterprise rushed into the
woods to kill himself, for the narrowing
reason that he loved girl and couldn't
pay his livery bill nor his board. 1t
seems to us that these were motives suf-
ficiently strong to incite the fulfillment
of the design, but we imagine the poor
devil suddenly reflected that If he were
to set an example of selfdestruction for
a condition of things which was common
to the great majority Of the editors of
his class, the woods of the entire border
would be adorned by dangling corpses
within a week. Startled by this rellec-
tion, the heroic sufferer appears to have
decided that he would live If it killed
himl He has the gratitude Of all his
contemporaries, but his readers are in
consolable.
