NORA

OF all the little fairies
That ever love caressed,
know our little darling
Is the brightest and the best.
Oh, the neatest and the sweetest
No tongue can ever tell
How much of love we lavish
On little Nora-Belle.
She cannot reach the roses
That grow about her way,
But In her face are flowers
More beautiful than they;
Aud the sunlight falling round her.
CLOVIS with a magic spell,
Shedding a golden glory
On little Nora-Belle.
She is winsome, she is winning
She is bIitbe and she is gay,
Aud she asks the wisest questions
In the most Old-fashioned wayi
And the lilies in the valley,
And the daisies in the dell.
Are not so pnre and tender
AS little Nora Belle.
For, years ago. our Saviour
Blessed children with n touch.
And still His words ara ringing:
''6ty Kingdom is of SUCH"
Flushed with HIS holy meaning,
They stand outside of sin.
And with his hand to guide them,
They may not enter in.
o rare sunshine and shadow
That chase each other So
That fall, and fit, and flicker.
And restless come aud go!
o winds from o'er the ocean!
o breezes from the dell!
Bring nouEht but health aud pleasure
To little Ora-Bel!c.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethaIgy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food, and
frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, par

full activity Of the system must resort to artif-
cial means. For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic is very effectual. few doses will create al
appetite and give fresh vgor to the enervaed body
For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
permanently cured by the drugs which are gener
ally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed
Tonic in its nature is totally different from suct
arugs. 1t contain no corrosive minerals or acids
in fact it assists the regular operations of nature
and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its ma
ture so much resembles the gastric juice that it il

Burning of sseamboat and Elevator.

MEMPHIS, July about 2 o'clock
this morning fire broke out near the
boiler head of the Anchor line steamer
Capitol City, from Vicksburg for St, Louis.
while lying at the elevator here, and in a
few minutes the whole boat was wrapt in
flames. efieers crew and passengers barely
escaping with their lives, leaving clothing
and everything behind A strong wester-
ly gale was blowing at the time, and before
the fire engines and tugs could reach the
scene the elevator was on FIRE, and the gale
drove the flames through the building,
where was stored thousand barrels of
oil, bagging, and other ipflammable
articles, which caused such terrific heat as
to speedily drive back the tiremen, but not
until ene named Conuors had been dan
gerously burned Soon as the fire was
discovered Capt. Crane ordered the boat
to lie cut loose in order to save the eleva-
tor, but the gale held the boat hard against
it until pulled off by tug when the boat
fioated down hundred yards among some
trading and wood boats aud burned to the
boiler deck; after setting those boats on
fire the elevator S soou burned to the waters
edge and together with large amount of
valuable merchandise is total loss. De.
spite the heavy rain which was falling at
the time the bluff and levee were lined
with people to witness the awful confagra-
ton which lit up the whole city front.
There are numerous coDjectures as to the
number of lives lost, but up to this writing
only one body has been found which lies GU
the deck of the Capitol City, only the
trunk being left, and thus far it has not
been identified. One passenger was
| severely burnt in trying to save his bag
gage. Capt. Crane thinks the fire was the
work of an incendiary. The total loss viii

on the Capitol City this morning has beer

The Eastern Question.

BERLIN. July 2'-With yesterday 8
session OF the congress the problems pres
ented by the organization of Turkey 10
Europe have been solved with the difficult
exception of the border provinces of
Greece. One scheme OF settlement pro-
posed is to offer to Greece some rights o.
supervision and control over West Roume-
lia, that is, Thessaly, Macedonia, and
Epirus, such as Austria will be intrusted
with 10 Bosnia and HerzegiYins, and
possibly 10 Northern Albania. By this
extending the influence of neighboriug
states over adjacent provinces the congress
might remove the cause OF future war.
LONDON, July 2.-Dispatehes from
Constantinople speak of the warlike move
ment appearing among the Mussuimau
population. but certainly not against Aus
tria. Dreaming only of recovering the
provinces invaded BY Russia, the fauatieaI
portion of the Turks would readily yield
Bosnia and Herzegovina to Austria in
consideration that at the same time she
should occupy Servia and Montenegro, sc
as to leave the hands of the Porte free tc
wrestle with its chief antagonist.
