The Story that Woutdnt be Tod.


"Do tell me one more story; Just one
more - said the little boy.
Il certainly was getting late. The fire
lighted the room, the shadows danced in
the corners. Down in the kitchen they
were hurrying with the dinner, and in
moment nurse would come in to take the
boy to bed. But all this made him want
to stay. lie was comfortable in his
mothor's lap, and he was in no hurry 10
90 up stairs to Maggie and the nursery.
rhen MAMMA kissed him right on the
tip of his littlc nose, and she said
"But you must go to bed sometime
please, mamma, dear" he said push
ing his curly head almost under her arm
lust one little story"
Just onel You can choose it, but
mind, little one!"
You know what one | want. OF
course about the giant Tsncankerroart-
Gus, and how he stole the slippers OF The
princess for q snutf-box, and how the
prince Limberlocks climbed up cherry
tree into the giants room. That is the
one like!'
And it must be the amen story to-
light. Well: Once upon time the Prh-
cess Thistleblossom stood on one foot"
No, no" interrupted The Story, you
need not tell me Tell some other story.

Every night, as soon as your bedtime
comes, aud you are so sleepy that You
don't want to go to bed, you ask for ne,
and | have to be told. | am sick OF 1t
aud want to rest"
"But | want you," said the boy. l
ike you best of all my stories. ike
that part where the giant comes in and
calls out "PoRTER!" in such loud voice
that the gate shakes all the bolts loose.
Il suppose you do like it," said The
Story; "anybody would. | am very
Il
coed story, and very fit to be told last
although l cannot see why that is any
reason for calling me the amen story.
That is foolish, think But. at any
rate. that is no reason for telling me
every night. Let your mamma tell you
Cock Robin or Jack the Giant Killer
They are plenty good enough"
"I don't want them," said the little
! boy, beginning to cry; 81 want goa" l
wont 90 to sleep all night il mamma
don't tell you"
~ don't care!' replied The Story I;
"you needn't cry for me. I've made up
nv mind. You won't hear me tonight.
That's as sure as your name Is Paul"
And it was just as The STORY said'--
There was no use in the boys crying,
for off went The Story, and it was not
told that night; but it is my private opin-
ion that tho boy did go to sleep, after all.

Are mute amid the vintage aud the shcaVes,

Fraudulent Clnims.

SAN Francisco, May 3O.-A suit has
been instituted in the United States
Court against W. G. Griswole, Claim
Agent, for $1,000. The defendant col.
lected 1000 fraudulent claims against
the United States, knowing the same to
be unjust, and under the law the suit
may be brought for double the amount,
which the government has been defrauded.
The claims grew out Of Capt. Walkers
Company, who participated in the river
war in 1874. Col. Watkins, Inspector Of
Indian affairs, Department OF the lnte-
rior, has Just arrived, and leaves to.mor-
row for Eastern Oregon, 10 compel all
struggling bands Of renegade Indians to
remove to and locate upon their reserya-

ber was stored on Esplin's premises and
the flames soon increased rapidly sending
forth sparks into surrounding streets,
which contained small wooden houses.
The fire spread from the lumber piles to

GREAT FIRE IN LIMA.

WASHINGTON, May 30.-A terrible &C.
cident occurred this afternoon at the new
outlet lock above the acqueduct bridge,
in Georgetown, by which John W. Mead
Assistant Harbor Master on the Chesa'
peakc & Ohio Railroad, was killed, and
two employees were severely II not fatally
injured. The accident was caused by the
breaking Of the ropes of the iron casor
on the railway, used for lowering coal
boats from the canal into the river. One
Of the cars in the descent struck Mr.
Mead killing him instantly. The otherl
were injured by the ropes which were oi

Fortunately, stream Of fresh water was
found between the mountains, where, with
the stars Tor a covering and branches Of
trees for mattresses all slept. The Captain
ut once sent one Of the officers to Acapul.
co, so miles distant, but fortunately the
boat fell in with the gunboat Mexico,
Capt. Leolor commanding, and although
under orders to get provisions for the be.
sieged city Of inhabitants, starving for
food, the Captain at once steamed of to
the relief Of the shipwrecked passengers
They were all taken Of safely, crowding
the deck Of the gnnboat, and were the
next day transferred to the Pacific Mail
steamer Costa Rica, Capt. Whiteberry
commanding. The officers and crew Of
the United States ships Lackawanna and
Pensacola acted nobly, supplying the
passengers with clothing from their
private wardrObes, and taking up sub.
scriptions to large amount 10 distribute
among the women and children who were
destitute.
Capt. Waddell and officers behaved
Splendidly-brave, humane and unseliish.
Capt. Waddell says seven steam pumps,
OF 100 barrels Of water per minute, were
absolutely useless, as the whole bottom Of
the steamer was stove in. He says he
has run her over the spot repeatedly.
The only conjecture Is that late earth.
quake, which was manifest on the coast
by tidal wave, has upheavsd submarine
rocks. In one hour and two minutes the
ship was under the waves. She was CO.
ing at II knots an hour when she struck.
The Captain was standing on The bridge
before the steamer struck and estimated
everything by his watch. Twenty min.
utes after she struck the fires we're ont,
and in that twenty minutes she was run
in shore under u full head Of steam
making distance Of nine or ten miles,
and there grounded in thirty feet OF
water on a sand bottom. The next morn.
ing about r foot Of the stern was seen out
Of the water, the body Of the ship sub.
merged, mizzen mast gone, and the bag.
gage Of the passengers, furniture, ETC.,
floating ashore during the day. The
money Of the passengers in the purser's
hands, the ships money and all the bag.
gage, was total loss. 1t was run for
lie. From an interview with the pas.
sengers | find that there is unanimous
sentiment Of the warmest feeling to.
ward the commander and officers
Every man says emphatically that the
officers could have done no more; that
they did all that men could do. The
Captain declares that his officers and men
stood 10 their duty nobly, and none but
heroes were on board. The best drilled men
OF ship Of war could not have acted with
better discipline and responded to every
order with more fidelity. Capt. Waddell,
Purser Jerome, L. B. Parrott, L. Askeli,
E. Stewart and E. Sutton will proceed by
rail from Annaheim. The Costa Rica re.
mains to take on board the coal, and will
probably not get away from here until
tomorrow. The men expec! to arrive at
San Francisco on Monday.
