A magnificent aIms.basin, weighing
ten pounds, OF solid gold and silver, ili-
laid with precious stones, was used for
the first time IN the morning service at
st. PauPs Church yesterday. Two
years ago the contribution plates were
stolen from the church. The pastor,
Rev. DR.. Hodges, suggested to his con-
gregation the idea OF Forming an aims
basin from pieces Of gold and silver to
be offered by them, to take the place ofthe
stolen plates. On st. Paups day, 1874,
the offerings were made,I consisting OF
twenty-five pounds of silver and gold,
comprising watches, chains, 4 rings,
spoons, jewels, etc. The pieces were
generally relics and highly priced by the
givers, who comprised avery large
portion OF the congregation. Besides
the alms-basin there was enough mater
al from WHICH to- make, six collection
pilates and a magnificent silver service.
The basin was wrought, i'll New York,
and was received Friday last. 1t is
sixty EIGHT inches in circumference,
with depth OF three and a half inches
and rim of three inches. The rim is
mounted by eight gold medallions. each

"Mamma, 1 Hear !"

[From the San Francisco News Letter.
An affecting incident occurred At the Academy
of Music lately. Among the audience was
wealthy family, one Of the members OF which has
for years been in delicate health, and was born
deaf and dumb. 1t has been the custom OF the
family to take their afflicted daughter with them
to the theatre, and even to concerts, she expe-
rienced acute nervous pain when left alone, and
seemed to enjoy the excitement and action Of even
musical entertainments, although she could net
hear a sound. 1t was observed that she seemed
very much amused at the comicalities Of Mr.. Sol
Smith Russell, and enjoyed the changes of his
facial expression as much as any OF the audience.
When Signor Tagliapietra came on to sing 1t was
noticed that curious light came into her eyes, and
stretching out her arms to her mother, she spelled
on her fingers, with the greatest excitement, the
words, Mamma, i hear" The next piece was
an orchestral arrangement Of "Troyatore,"
played by the combination Of the Berger family
and the Vienna Ladies Orchestra. As the com
poor child's checks, and her excitement became
so great that 1t was deemed prudent to leave the
theatre. On reaching home the exhaustion pro-
duced by the events Of the evening was such that
the family physician was summoned. As she lay
her maiden couch she reached for her slate and
wrote: "Mother think heaven must be music"
The next day, in accordance with her request,
Mr.. Russell was sent for, and he kindly came and
sang for the little sufferer his famous song re-
lating to a goose stuffed with sage and ingins. II
was too late. Death had long marked the child
for his own, and she did not even smile. The
little liDs are cold now, and there is vacant
chair IN the family circle. The Joy Of that one
evening was too much for the delicate nervous
system, now happily at rest.

Along the Mediterranean.

The French shore of the Mediterranean divides
into two distinct parts, which offer strange con-
trast to each other. From Genoa to Marseilles
all is life and beauty; all the world" goes thither
for pleasure or health. From Marseilles to the
coast of Spain, one finds everywhere solitude and
desolation. The latter region was at one time
highly prosperous, but it has been entirely
changed by the immense quantities Of sand and
mud brought down by the river. Narbonne, in
the time Of the Romans, communicated directly
with the sea. 1t had Its lagoon like Venice, and
a deep canal afforded passage to heavy merchant
ships and the triremes of the imperial feet. The
lagoon is now blocked up and the commerce,
wealth and activity are all gone. Aries was
another very important city; Il had two ports,
like Alexandria, and was SO rich and powerful
that poet of the fourth century spoke Of 1t as
the Rome of the Gauls" The Rhone, with its
annual seventeen millions cubic metres OF sedi-
ments, has been its ruin. So with other cities;
but while they have become separated from the
sea agriculture is gradually taking possession Of
the land won from the water, and the vine and
olive may yet restore part Of the ancient pros
perity.
