A Fresh.Water Spring i'm the Ocean.

Lieut.. r. d. Hitchcock, of the United
States Navy, Assistant Coast Survey,
commanding the coast surveying steamer
Endeavor, under date of March Is, re-
ports to the Superintendent of the
Coast Survey as follows relative to what
is apparently fresh water spring in the
sea eve have found just above Man
tanzas inlet, about two and half miles
off shore, in latitude 80 deg. 46 min. 0S
sec. north, longitude 81 deg. IL min. 10
sec. west, what is apparently fresh
water spring. The water at the surface
is violently disturbed for a space of
about 30 feet in diameter. The first day
we crossed this place the water was COM
ing up with such violence as to throw
the ship from her course, and the second
time, although it was smooth, the vessel
could be kept on her course but for a
short time. The soundings in the
center of the spring gave % fathoms,
and specimen of the bottom of very
clear broken small shells. The sound
ings from the center to the limits of the
disturbed water decreased to fathoms.
The water at the surface is brackish. !"
The Superintendent has directed a mi.
unite examination of the spring and its
immediate locality to be made.

weekly Review OF the ChicogO market.
FINANCIAL
Matters in the money market remain without
any important change. The offerings of cur
rency are quite large, and there is no trouble
experienced in obtaining favors for A 1
paper ut 10 per cent. interest. Eastern ex-
change, 5O@75c premium. Government bonds
firm and in good demand, with values steady.
BREADsTUFFs.
The grain markets have attracted considera-
BILE attention from spectators during the pas
week, and an extensive speculative business
was transacted. The markets, however have
been very unsettled, values being subject to
frequent and quite severe fiuctuation. Gener-
ally speaking, however, the prevailing feeling
has been one of tirmness and the closing quo
tations invariably show an advance IA compared
with the figures current ut tue opening. The
movement has been mainly on speculative ac-
count, and the movements of opera
tors were governed more by local
speculative influences, and the manipulations
of local spectators had more to do with the
subsequent changes in values than the advices
from Liverpool and New York. 1t was we'll
known fact that all the markets had been
largely discounted for May delivery, and ~
these contracts approached maturity there was
a general desire on the part of the short sellers
to provide for them, the active competition be-
tween this interest being the principal cause of
the subsequent advance. True the receipts
were large, but this fact had emily nominal in
fluence on the market IA the daily arrivals
were generally intended for delivery
on previous sales. Shippers were buying
with more freedom than during the preceding
week. The corn trade attracted large attend
ance of operators and, at times, was quite en-
cited. During Saturday the markets were
weak, and about 1c decline was sustained on
wheat and corn-the deliveries on May con-
tracts being liberal, while parties having grain
coming to them were selling out, showing a
disposition to realize. There was more doing
in June and July, operators preferring the de-
ferred options.
The following tables shows the prices current
at the opening and close of the past week:

A Christian Chinese Wedding.

A distinguished clergyman of this city
yesterday enjoyed the felicity of uniting
two natives of the Flowery Land in the
silvery bonds of wedlock. Sam Ye and
All Toy were the names of the happy
couple, who still, after the fashion of
their country, preserve intact their re-
spective patronymics. After the mar
riage service the bride and bridegroom
adjourned to the residence of friend,
where number of guests were assem-
bled to honor the occasion. A festive
time followed, the bride in dress of
sky-blue, with rings upon her ankles and
her ebon locks done up in tallow, being
of course the center of attraction. She
was exceedingly affectionate. Being asked
by Caucasian interloper if she loved
her newly acquired husband, she warmly
answered, "You bet; me heap ikee Sam;
he belly good Chinaman. Sam, too,
was as happy as hoodlum with a new
pair of high-heeled boots, and, as the
guests departed, said with smile half a
yard long to the above mentioned inter-
loper, "You sabee him cute; alec same
as Mclean man-heap catchem wife
cherry time" 1t is presumed that the
lives of these young people will be a
tangible realization of Celestial bliss

Faithful Dogs.

A youngster of five years was recently
lost near Lexington, Mo. His name is
William Norman, and when last seen the
child was in a fence-corner with two
dogs. From there it seems he wandered
into the woods, eight miles from Lexing
ton and three miles from home. Here,
probably, night overlook the little wan-
derer, and darkness closed in upon him,
cold, tired and hungry, with none to aid
him but his faithful four-footed COM
panions. The faithful dogs, with an IN
stinct that seems equal to human intelli-
gence, went to work and scratched to-
gether bed of leaves. Into this the
boy crept, and then the intelligent ami
mails laid down, one on each side of him,
and kept him warm through the night
with the heat of their bodies. Morning
broke with the boy safe, his shaggy
guardians remaining at their posts.
Though rested and refreshed, he was al
most famished with hunger. Again the
wonderful instinct OF the faithful dogs
was equal to the emergency. They set
out foraging; chased and killed rabbit,
and brought it to their young charge,
laying it at his feet The boy eagerly
ate of the raw meat, and when discov-
cred was busily engaged in appeasing
his hunger. When the party who dis
covered him endeavored to approach the
child the dogs became exceedingly Zero
cious, and would not let one of them
approach him. The boys father and
dogs master had to be sent for before
they could get the child from his noble
protectors. The JOY of the parents can
be easily imagined, and we will guaran-
tee to say that all the wealth of Lafay-
cite county would not purchase one of
those 1npe

A Mothers Desperation.

This morning about o'clock the city
was startled by the news that the bodies
of woman and child had been found in
Bear creek, at the foot of Fifth street,
opposite the Badger State undergrad.
The Clipper reporter fastened to the
spot and found that the terrible news was
too true, for there, floating on the water
with the back of the head and portion
of the clothing visible, was the body of a
woman. At the edge of the water was a
stake drived in the ground, to which a
cord was attached, and it was evident
tached to the corpse or corpses. A few
persons by this time had collected Mt the
spot, and a short distance back was a
little boy weeping violently, in company
with Elder Challener, of the Christian
Church, who was endeavoring to console
him. This little boy, about II years of
age, was named Willie Irwin, and it was
his mother and only little sister, Lottie,
about years of age, who were sleeping
their last sleep in the cold and muddy
waters of Bear creek. Willie said that
his mother, Mrs. f.. l.. Irwin, in COM
pany with his little sister Lottie, left
home about o'clock last night, and he
asked his mother where she was going.
The only answer she made was that she
would be back soon, requesting him to
stay Mt home until she returned. The
body of the child had not yet been seen,
but there seemed to be settled convic-
ton with all present that it had shared
the fate of its mother. Mrs. Irwin or
the little girl did not return home dur
ing the night, and, that fact being re-
ported to the neighbors, suspicious were
aroused, and this morning, few minutes
before 8 o'clock, Messrs. Il. S. Hager
and James Munson discovered q woman s
tracks going to the water at this point.
They saw the rope attached to the stake,
which at first appeared to them to be
trot-line. Taking hold of the rope, the
body of the woman at once hoated to the
surface.
Several hundred persons had now
gathered at the edge of the water, wait
ing eagerly for further developments.
Coroner Dick appeared with jury the
rope was drawn in, and then the horrible
fact was revealed that the mother had be-
come the executioner of her child, for
there in her arms, the two bodies bound
securely together by the rope, the cheek
of the little girl resting against that of
her mother, were the two bodies, purple,
swollen, and cold in death. The water
here was but little over four feet deep.
The binding of the bodies together, and
attaching the rope to the stake showed
will and deliberateness of purpose by
the mother in this desperate deed truly
remarkable (Mo.) Clipper.

CURE FOR CH1LBLAINs. -Glycerine,
one ounce carbolic acid, one-half
dram mix and apply night and morn

CHEAP PERFUME FOR THE HANDKER-
cHIEF.-Put two ounces of orris root into
half a pint of rectifed spirits allow it to
stand for week, then strain away the
clear extract, and add TO it one dram OF
essential oil of lemons and a quarter of a
dram of otto of roses, the same of oil of
cloves, and five drops of oil of neroli (oil
of orange blossoms.) If not quite
bright, strain the mixture through fun
mel of blotting paper, folded up like
sugar paper.
To WHrrEN LAoE.-Lace may be re-
stored to it's original Wilderness by first
ironing it slightly, then folding it, and
sewing it into clean linen bag, which is
placed for twenty-four hours i'll pure
olive oil. Afterward the bag is boiled
in solution of soap and water for fifteen
minutes, then well rinsed in luke-warm
water, and finally dipped in water con-
tanning slight proportion of starch.
The lace is then taken from the bag, and
stretched on pins to dry.
To REMOVE MILDEw.-Make very
weak solution of chloride of lime in
water about heaped-up teaspoonful
to quart of water, strain it carefully,
and dip the spot on the garment into it );
and if the mildew does not disappear i'm
mediately, lay it in the sun for few
minutes or dip it again into the lime
water. The work is effectually and
speedily done, and the chloride of lime
neither rots the cloth nor removes deli
cate colors, when sufficiently diluted,
and the articles well rinsed afterward in
clear water
