1t was autumn again and Millie had
Just completed her seventeenth year and
entered upon her eighteenth, and though
there was still the merry flash in her eye,
her general manner was more serious, as
if she had an earnest purpose IN her
life.
The leaves had put on their glorious
apparel for the closing year, and the air
had that quiet, dreamy, smoky quality
that belongs to the Indian summer, when
Prof. Morehead came again for a few
days visit with them.
Then Mile, with many an inward fear
and tremble, put her work of the year
into her uncle's hands. That spoke for
the second and third parts of her pledge;
and for the first part her mothers happy
testimony told the story. ~ have not

ANOTHER DISASTER.
Twenty-Five Persons Drowned by the
Breaking Up of a Wreck.


Breaking Up of a Wreck.
New YORK, Dec. 3O.-The Circassian which
went ashore near Brldghampton, L l., fort
night since, went to pieces during the gale last
night. Only men out of the SO employed on
her were saved. She had been discharged and
was to have been hauled oil today.
Statement Of a Survivor.
New YORK, Dec. 31.-Aexander Wilson,
one of the survivors of the Circassian disaster,
tells the following story:
About 10 o'clock we went into the deck
houses for shelter; the sea was heavy at the
time and stove in the iron doors; we barricaded
them up again, however, and ware comfort
able till midnight; the life saving station made
several attempts to throw rockets aboard, but
they fell short; at midnight Capt, Williams
and Capt. Lewis went out of the house and
looked at the deck: they soon came back and
SAID, boys, she is breaking badly, you had
better take to the rigging" We then took to
the rigging 1t was very cold and wherever
the spray struck it would freeze instantly.
took to the mizzen rigging because we thought
it would be the safest and strongest; was up
pretty near the top; about o clock L saw three
or four men washed off the lower rigging; I saw
their bodies Eating about; ship was gradually
going to pieces from half-past II till the mizzen
mast post went by the board, about half-past
iu the morning; about half-past O'Clock the
mizzen mast went by the board and we were all
thrown into the water.
After l was in the water some time got
hold of one of the cork buoys belonging to the
life boats and foated ashore along with three
others all on the same buoy; saw nothing of
any OF my shipmates except those that came
ashore with me. l suppose that all the others
hung on to the rigging and went down with it.
We four jumped clear of the rigging; the masts
being iron went to the bottom Immediately
carrying with them % souls.
The Circassan is total wreck, having brok-
en- into three parts. Nothing worth saving has
been left, The whole of the Circassians Off
GERS and crew were lost.

Political Notes.

There was a retormer named Randall,
bold, bad, political vandal,
Who grabbed his back pay
In jolly, bthe way,
And then boosted and Dragged like bandit so gay
But his title is now Speaker Randall!''
-CteUetdnd Leader.
Tilden has got name now that will stick
to him as long as he lives. 1t is ''The claim
ant,"-not original, but expressive.
The attitude of the Southern Democrats
on the subject of war continues to be unsat-
isfactory to their allies in the North.
The war talk has suddenly ceased in the
Democratic papers. Probably the proper
wire has been pulled from headquarters.
An able commentator remarks that the
Democracy has climbed by natural stages
from crow to Cronin. The last dish is worse
than the first.
Tilden is now organizing a grand or rath-
er miserable bulldozing raid upon public
opinion in the shape of mass meetings. But
the outlook is not cheering for the reform
bull-dozer.
Congress will count the electoral vote on
st. Valentines day, Feb. ID. This is omin-
GUS for so confirmed an old bachelor as Gov.
Tilden. He has passed that day so many
times without its bringing him valentine, it
is too much to expect his luck will cdange
now.
THE Washington correspondents have all
had the joke about the unique ponderosity of
Crolin's uose. II half is true that has been
published, whatever Cronin may be himself,
his nose is unquestonably bright and shin
ing light avery Vesuvus in its fiery nten-
sity. No other living elector has nose like
Cronin, nor has any other living Governor a
cheek like Grover. "None but themselves
can be their parallel"

Diacharye of Woodward. the Ring Thief.
NEW YORK, Dec 31.-Elbert A. Woodward,
