Women workers will sympathize with Mrs.

4 SEA DREAM.
BY JOIN q. WHITTIER.

'oAiN y. 49,
The waves are glad in breeze and sun,
The rocks are fringed with foam
walk once more haunted Shore
land of dreams roaml
Is thistle wind, the soft sea wind
That stir d my locks of brown
Are these the rocks whose MOSES knew
Where boy and girl sat down?
see the gray forts broken wall,
The boats that rock below;
And, out at sea, the passing sails
Rosc-red in the mornings glow.
The freshness OF the carly time
On every breeze Is blown;
AS glad the sea, as blue the sky

she looked up into her fathers face and said,
"Well, papa, if you speak to mamma about
it, touch her easy, or she may want new
dress herself!" The father at once saw the
point, and the new dress was purchased with
out consultation.

TEACH CHILDREN THEIR NAMES The
following pertinent suggestion is by the
Methodist. 1t ought to be read and needed
by every parent
The many supposed Chlrley Roses that have
been produced, oaly to prove mistakes in iden-
LITIGATION, suggest the Importance of teaching
all children, among their lessons their names,
the names Of their parents, and Of tEeir place
Of abode. It is surprising how few lost chill
dren, from four to six years of age, can give
an Ineligible account Of themselves. Yet 1t
is perfectly easy to teach a child who can talk
at all, whatever is necessary for Identification,
and for restoration, If in friendly hands. 1t
must be done by daily drill, but daily drill
will make little one as unerring in his an
swers as All adult. Many child knows him
self only as I" Bud, /" /" Tot, or some such pet
name. 1t is a shame to leave children in such
ignorance, when with prudent forecast we
can throw additional safeguards about them.

FUNERAL OF ADMIRAL COLLINS.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug 25.-Advices from
Lima, dated August 49, relating to the death
and funeral of Admiral Collins say: The great
est honors were paid by the Peruvian Govern
ment to the deceased. The Minister of War
issued an order directing honors due a Gen.
eral of Division in active service be shown TO
the memory OF Admiral Collins, and an infan-
try regiment OF the line, a squadron of cavalry
and two ecions of artillery were sent to
Callao to take part in the funeral process.
sion to the Protestant cemetery Of Bella
Vista, a short mile from the port
In this mournful cortege were the Minis
ters of War and Marine, of Foreign Affairs,
and OF the Interior, almost all the members
of the diplomatic and consular corps, many
foreign residents and distinguished Peru
VANS, and the men of the United States
war ships. The body was brought from the
ship to shore, followed by more than twenty
boats from the Onward and Richmond, the
Peruvian war vessels and the several mer-
chantmen in the harbor. At about o'clock
in the evening the services of the English
church were read over the remains of the
Admiral in the cemetery OF Belle Vista.

Sudden Death of Jos. COnnaughtOn.

At seven o'clock last evening quite an ex-
element was occasioned at the corner of Canal
and Royal streets, by man who was walking
along, suddenly throwing up his hands and
dropping upon the pavement in speechless
condition.
The policemen rushed to the spot inmedi-
ately and conveyed the body to the Third
Precinct Station, where it was discovered to
be Joseph Connaughtop, ex-member of the
Louisiana Legislature from Rapides parish
who was unseated during the Wheeler investi-
cation and a Conservative put in his place.
1t appears that after he had eaten a healthy
dinner in the evening, he started out for q
walk, in apparent good health, accompanied
by Mr.. Kelso.
Upon arriving at the above corner he fell
to the banquette and expired five minutes
afterwards. Mr.. Connaughton resides on
Dauphine street. He is thirty seven years Of
age, but has been gray since he was sixteen.
Mr.. Connanghton was single man. The
Coroner held an inquest and returned ver-
dict that the deceased came to his death from
congestion of the brain. After the inquest
the body vas removed to his late residence.

A Lost Child.

1t is a most pleasing sight to see lost child
restored to its parents. The look of surprise,
the lowering of doubt as to the truth of the
little ones first recognition, and then the
bright. joyous expression, each chase one an
other over the face of the wanderer, and at
last that trusting, implicit confidence child
has in parent comes out.
| Last night, at the Third Precinct, there
were numerous inquiries for Henry -, aged
| five years. fair complexion, and had long
golden curls
The breathless servant couldn't exactly say
what was the dress of the ,st child, neither
could his brother. They were both very
much excited Presently there were echoes
of approaching footsteps, hurrying of feet
and the whole family appeared upon the
scene. The mother trembed with emotion,
and could only ask, "Mr. Officer, is my
darling here?" The turnkey is soft-hearted
man, in fact, he could hardly help being SO,
as he has children of his own, so he tried to
equivocate little, but at last had to blurt out
an unwilling "No, madam"
1t was painful to look into the face of that
mother. Such despair, such sinking as it
were of the last straw to which she had des-
peIdtoiy CluuS. LII lact, tuo WuOl0 group
was a study. A tiny drop, drop bearing
the same relation to a tear that mist does to
rain, could just be discovered IN their eyes
and Meyan, the turnkey, said that he could
hear the "old lady's," as he called the mother,
heart beating. The station dog gave sort
of inquiring growl, and looked out into the
darkness towards Jackson Square, then he
got up and trotted off in that direction.
Ie could hardly be called sob, neither was
it sigh but an accute ear could easily have
placed it down as bona fide childish
whimper. An officer was bringing in
prisoner. No. It was a bundle. The
mother mechanically turned as the officer ap-
preached. She was not particularly inter-
ested just then in prisoners.
The officer comes boldly into the light
There is murmuring of sound, a mothers
sweet voice-that voice sweeter than all others
on earth-rises above all, and nothing can be
seen of the officer but his head as the lady
drags his burden, "Henry -, aged five
years; fair complexion; had long golden
curls, to her heart. Somehow the smell of
gas always affects the reporters eyes, and
there must have been pipe bursted near the
station last night.

Discovery of a Fugitive from
Justice.

On July 26th. Mrs. Ellis, 1856 Annunciation
street. employed colored man named Dan
Green, alias Dan Griffin, alias Happy Dan,
to scour the floor and paint around the
house. During the evening, while the fam
lily were at dinner, Dan stole eight silver
spoons and one gold watch and chain. Capt
Malone, Chief of Detectives, detailed Detec-
tive Dave Hennessey to follow upon the
tracks Of Dan, but the cunning moke eluded
the vigilant search of the detective and left
for other parts.
While away, the detective visited his house,
at the corner of Ram part and Calliope streets,
and inquired of Dams wife where he was. She
said she did not know any such man; but the
detective was too smart for her. and kept
sharp lookout around the neghborhood. and
found out that she had written to her hus-
band in Shreveport to keep away, as the
police was after him.
He failed to receive the letter. In conse-
quence of which he returned some time ago
10 the city, when he became engaged in row
with one Henry Williams, at a barber shop on
Julia, between Magazine and Camp streets, in
which he was severely cut and wounded in
the stoma ch with a razor.
He was then taken to 146 Peter street,
where detectives Hennessey and Walsh dis.
covered him on Wednesday morning between
9 and 10 o'clock But Dan being too sick to
be removed, he was let alone for the present.
The house at which he is now staying is oc-
cupied by a negro named ''Tobe," who is a
well-known thief.
The spoons were found on Wednesday last
at fruit stand, corner Of Carondelet and st.
Joseph streets. The watch, No. 1890, has
also been traced up and is now in a certain
pawn shop in this city.

MY BROTHER.

will not ask my neighbor of his creed,
Nor what he deems of doctrine old or new;
Nor what the rites his honest sould may need,
To worship God-the only wise and true;
Nor what he thinks of the anoiDted Christ;
NOR with what baptism he hs tn been baptized.
ask not what temptations have beset
his human heart, now self-a based and sore;
Nor by what wayside well the Lord he met;
Nor where was uttered, $50 and sin no more ~
Between his soul and God that business lies;
Not mine to cavil, question, or despise.
l ask not by which name, among the rest
That Christians go by, he is named or known;
Whether his faith hath ever been "professed,"
Orw whether proven by his deeds alone:
So there be Christhood in him, all is we'll;
He is my brother, and in peace we dwell.
If grace and patience in his actions speak,
Or fail in words Of kindness from his tongue,
Which arise the fallen, fortify the weak,
Aud heal the heart by sorrow rent and wrung;
II he give good fer ill, and love for hate
Friend Of the friendless, poor, and desolate.
/ find in him discipleshp so true,
So full that nothing further demand.
He may be bondman, freeman, Gentle, Jew,
But we are brethren-walk we hand in hand !!
In his white life let me the Christhood zee;
It is enough for him-enough for me!

BANK ROBBERY.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 2-The Planters Nation
al Bank OF this city was robbed of large
amount this morning. About daybreak the
teller OF the bank, Louis Rehm, was discov-
cred near the bank on his way to the police
station.
He could hardly speak at first, but after
q while informed the detectives that three
men had taken him from his bed during the
night, proceeded to the bank forced him to
deliver the keys with which they opened the
safe, and abstracted the money. Rhem al
leges he was chloroformed, and stabbed in
the side, where there is slight wound. Tho
bank officers refuse to give any information
regarding the affair, further than that de-
positors will lose nothing The amount stolen
is believed to be nearly 100000.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 2.-Detective Sleger took
charge Of Rebm whom he had known very
we'll as steady and honest young man. The
preceding story was related to Bligh, who
regarded it as q very weak and had Rehm
locked up at the hotel.
The directors Of the bank met, and after
consultation came to the conclusion that
Rehms story was fraud and he the robber.
The president 50 informed him, but Rshm as
serted his innocence time and again; being
told that all regarded him as the robber, he
asked for an hours sleep and retired for that
space, and on awakening, confessed to the
detective that he had robbed the safe the pre-
ceding night before IL o'clock, carrying its
contents home and burying them under his
house.
An examination by detectives revealed all
the money tied in small sheet, under the
gymnasium, in rear of Rheims residence. He

Especial Correspondence of the N. O. Bulletins
| New YORK, Aug. %, 1875.
Dear Bulletin
| AS September approaches all New Workers
are looking forward with confidence to an
| active business season in the fall. The un-
| usually cool snap of weather which we have
had for the last day or two has brought into
| the city quite an influx Of early birds return
ing from the wateri lg places, and business
seems to be fairly setting in. No one here
appears to be very much distressed about the
panic in California, and though there seems
to be an effort on the part of some to force an
| excitement, yet the public at large seems to
think that there is no cause for any apprehen.
sion of danger, and many leading men of
Wall street and also of the cotton circles have
expressed their opinion that the suspension Of
the Bank of California and the one or two
other San Francisco banks which have
"gone where the woodbine," etc., will not
materially affect the markets here.
The coming theatrical season promises to
be brilliant one, and it is rumored that there
will be much rivalry among the different
theaters. The Fifth Avenue has led off with
a repetition of the "Big Bonanza, with Miss S.
Jewett lmpersonating the character of Eugenia
Canallader, the bankers daughter. Most
charmingly does she acquit herself of her
part, and besides being quite little artist,
she combines with her talent the attractive
qualities of youth and remarkable beauty.
On Monday next, juvenile Mexican Opera
Troupe will occupy the boards of this theater.
The prima donna is said to be only eight
years of age. Their arrival is looked forward
to with interest by the public. However,
there are dark clouds in the theatrical horizon,
and there is every prospect of trouble between
Augustin Daily and the managers of the
Union Square Theater-both parties claim
ing the sole right to produce in this country
the drama Of Rose Michel, which has been
creating furore in Paris.
Still another word about the profession:
Many of your readers will doubtless remem-

The LATE AICIDEN; IN THE RIVER.
Finding of the Bodies of the UnfOrtunates.


The BULLETIN of last Tuesday contained
an account of sad drowning affair on the
river, in which Moses Levy and wife both
persisted. The accident was caused by the
waves from the steamship City of New Or

couple were endeavoring to cross the river.
The whereabouts of the bodies has been some
what a mystery every since, but we learn
from the officers of the steamer Oriole that
both have been found at different points
down the river.
The body of Levy is buried on the river
shore at the Sarah plantation, right bank.
