A Mothers Love.

A touching story of the late inundation
in France comes through letter TO the
New York Tribule'
A young mother is awakened by the
inundation. She has two children, twins
at the breast, adorable little girls. The
water invades her house it is night, and
the hour is full of terror. The hus-
band takes care of himself and
mounts on the roof. But the woman
thinks only of her children she ties
them to her breast with a scarf, and, as
she is about TO swim from the house she
thinks that the bread-trough will serve
as boat. The house is lettering as the
mother embarks III her frail boat. She
is scarcely out of the house when it goes
to pieces. The husband disappears in
the ruins. The little boat floats away,
but strikes against a tree and is over
turned. The poor woman seizes branch
and climbs into the tree with the strength
of honess fighting for her young. But
the tree is young it bends it will not
hold all three. The mother sees that the
end has come, but her motherhood is not
conquered. She ties her children to the
strongest branch, she kisses them again
and again, she signs them with the sign
of the cross, and cries, "To the mercy
of God !" This piteous drama was wit
messed by spectators who could do moth
ing in aid until quarter of an hour was
gone The mother was drowned, but
the children were saved like Moses.
They We're adopted by the Sisters of
Charity of Castelsarazin. The mothers
funeral was an occasion of mourning in
the midst of the general sorrow. Her
face seemed sanctifed by her action.
One of my friends said to me, Ct never
saw such a beauty" Her eyes were half
closed, her lips were slightly open, her
hands crossed above her breast as if she
were still praying for her children.
There is no spectacle more divine than
that of maternity in sacrifice.

help rejecting that IL we fall, we fall like Luci-
fer out OF the heavens, and that upon our ar
rva upon earth, or rather upon water-for wa
are over the middle of Lake Michigan-we
would be literally dead"
AS will be seen, it ends abruptly, the
end being reached, probably, when the
storm threatened, and when he was COM
PEELED to abandon writing in order to
fight for life.
Inc question now arises, what of
donaldson and the balloon3 IL has been
stated 10 be the belief of the people of
Michigan that Donaldson threw Grim
wood out OF the balloon, and was him
sell carried further on, and NAV vet be
living. III there is such belief among
the people residing in Michigan. which
may reasonably be doubted, il is not
shared by the people of Chicago. nor will
it be by any one who knows Donaldson
None but fiend or monster would be
capable of such an act, and Donaldson
was neither. He is doubtless dead, and
will never be able to dispute the SANDER
upon his name, which is most cruel and
unjustifable. 1t is becoming not only
that his friends, who know that such a
thing were impossible, should repel this
attempt to malign-without shadow of
reason-the memory of brave man, but
that every one should resent and repel
it in the name of common humanity.
All such insinuations are only baser ex-
hibitions of the same spirit that could
fabric reports to the effect that Donald
son and Grimwood were alive, and keep
ing out of sight for few weeks to create
a sensation, as has, been repeatedly done.
All these things are not merely idle and
stupid they are positively wicked.

Then she began to see that there were

pleasant and half apologized.

So l brought Pinlie-winkie, and left her

"Now you shall all come down to my

with the train of children behind her.
After they had got safely away, such a
chattering and commotion as there was

Brown-bird, swinging upon twig,
said:
"Squirrel, consider you both polite
and kind; L wish there were more like
you in the world !"
"Don't mention It'll" said Squirrel,
quite embarrassed, and he ran away.
Little Brown-bird flew fiuttering to
her nest, and bugs and bees and idle
birds set to gossiping. The little flow
ers nodded their dainty heads, and all
the forest leaves were so amused they
shook their sides with laughing,-while
the sunlight cleaned benignly down,
and said, "My children, am glad You
are again happy" -Ennaa Burt, ST.

The Accident to Edwin Booth.

Monday morning, Mr.. Booth, who
had as his guest DIR. Kellogg, Superin-
tendendent of the State Insane Asylum
at Poughkeepsie, started for Stamford,
with the double purpose of exercising
his horses and enabling his guest to adj
mlre the picturesque scenery of four
mile drive. He had selected for the
work his favorite mare Nellie and her
colt, and, taking the lines, he turned
their heads in the direction of Stamford.
They travelled at a good pace, and ex-
hibited no signs of restlessness. AS
they began to descend Richmond Hill,
within a mile of Stamford village, the
headstall of the colt broke, and Mr..
Booth became unable to goide or check
the team. The colt naturally became
frightened, and started down the hill at
a break-neck rate of speed, carrying
along her more sedate mate. Mr.. Booth
was quickly thrown against q telegraph
pole with great force, and rendered tenn
porarily insensible. DR.. Kellogg man.
aged to retain his seat for some time and
endeavor to check the speed of Nellie
and her colt, but was unsuccessful. He,
too, was thrown out, and received severe
cuts on the head, front and back. His,
injuries, however, were but slight, and
when the villagers came out and assisted
in the removal of the two wounded gen.
tlemen to Mr.. Booths residence, the
Doctor was so far convalesce that he
declined assistance and asked them to
aid the great actor.
Mr.. Booth was carefully lifted, while
still in an insensible condition, from the
rosdside and carried to his home at Cos
Cob. He spoke for the first time upon
his arrival home, when he asked for his
wife and daughter, and at once recog-
nized them. Mr.. Booths injuries are
slight, consisting of a fracture of the
left arm, below the elbow, and of two
ribs.-Ne,D York Herald

Advertising Paws.

A Washington dispatch says The
bids for furnishing Internal Revenue
stamps were opened to-day. The RESULT
were very anomalous. Several firms
offered to do the engraving for nothing.
The firm which now has the contract
offers te pay the government S2,100
monthly for the privilege of furnishing
them free to the government. This is a
curious illustration of the advantages of
advertising. The firm which is now doing
the work is satisfied that the advertise
ment is worth 100 monthly, beside
the cost of the material. The law per-
mits the engravers to affix their imprint
to every stamp. The law requires the
Commissioner to award the contract to
the lowest bidder. He is in doubt
whether the firm, which wants to paw
for doing the work is, under the law, the
lowest bidder.

lake, returning to the city before dark.
The vessel is arranged with every con-
venience of necessity and comfort for the
afflicted little ones, and an experienced
physician accompanies the craft, though
the pure air is all the medicine depended
upon to effect the cure of the ailing chill
dren. This simple treatment is found to
be wonderfully efficacious in the too
often fatal Irregularities of the bowels
known as "summer complaint" and
large numbers of innocents have been
rescued from an early grave by this
means alone, without the assistance OF
drugs of any description.
The bark Kate Crosby, of Yarmouth,
n. S., which arrived at New York, few
days since, SO days from London, passed
through an immense fleet of icebergs on
her voyage hither. Her captain has fol
lowed the sea all his life, and states that
never before in all his experience has he
seen such large foes of ice. AT one time
73 icebergs were counted from the deck
of the bark, and the thermometer fell to
nearly the freezing point. The third day
of this frigid company, after passing
very close to a large iceberg, it turned
over and burst with a great noise, like
the rumbling of an earthquake. During
the three days the bark was ice-bound,
she passed four steamers. 1t is matter
of wonder that catastrophes from this
cause are not of more frequent occur
renee. The steamship Indiana, of the
American line, reports encountering be-
countering between 10 and 20 icebergs
within two hours. She was obliged to
steam directly between the bergs in sew
eral instances. The thermometer was
influenced ten degrees. The ice foes
extend farther to the south this season
than ever known in previous years.

JUDGE FULLERTON has just returned
from q trip to the Adirondacks. He mar

" No, me never heard of him, but me
heard of Jim Fisk"

DUMAS, the great French author, has
revealed his familiarity with American
life in a romance in which a coon chases
pair of American lovers up tree, and
then attempts TO gnaw the tree down in
order to devour the lovers. According
to Dumas the American coon is q fe-
rocious beast as large as Il COW.

A WRITER in B'ack1cood is at pains to
show that the French, after all their talk
for four years of the improvement of
their army, have done very little. The
Germans have improved their army since
the conclusion of the war with q zeal I'M
known in the history of any other people.
Their artillery, splendid and crushing as
It was five years ago, has been greatly
improved.

IT is but short time since a passage
by steamer i'll twelve days between New
York and Queenstown was regarded as
a feat of wonderful speed. Now the
steamship Germania has made the run in 7
days and % hours-the fastest time on
record. If Newfoundland was made the
point of departure on this side of the
Atlantic, the time would, in all proba-
bility, be reduced before long to three
days.

THE Lord Mayor of London has just
distinguished himself by indulging in an
extravagant banquet in honor of the Pre-
feet of the Seine Mayor of Paris). The
mayors of Wauwatosa, Kankakee, Keo-
kuk, and other metropolitan American
cities were unavoidably absent on the
festive occasion, but as there were GOO
heads of European municipalities pres
ent, their absence occasioned little COM
ment. The feast cost the Lord Mayor the
trihe of 100000, or an average of $3.50
per plate. The Lord Mayor must have
an immense feeling of satisfaction after
this exhibition of gastric productivity.
