Sad Disaster at COney Island.

The storm of Thursday night swepi over the Manhattan Beach end of Coney Island near Brooklyn with fearful VIC fence. The tide rose higher than at any time before for the past twenty-fg !, years. causing lamentable loss of life. The unfortr nate victims were the fami- lies of two watchmen named Wynne and Brennan, who occupied small houses on the Manhattan Beach property.
 The men were engaged in protecting the property, and working on the bulk head in falr weather. In the height of the gale, and before the tide had reached its height, the two men left their homes for the purpose of reporting to the head watchman, MT. Weed, the apprehended damage from the tide. 'TLev were gone only few minutes, but be. ore they re- turned the water had swepj away the frail wooden structures in which they lived, not yest1ge of which was to be seen. The sea had engulphed them all struck by three tidal waves in puck suc- cession, giving their occupants no time to escape.
 Wynne's family consisted of his wife, one child aged three years, and another one only two days old. A nurse who had been brought from the city to attend Mrs. Wynne, who had just become a mother, perished with the rest. Bren- mans family consisted of his wife, one child aged years and the other aged 6 months. The body of Mrs. Wynne, claspin in her arms the body of her old est child, was washed ashore at Sheeps- heed Bay: Much damage was done to property on the beach.

Dying for A Dog

"It is hard that strong and healthy man should have to go for a dog," said MT. Buckland of Chicopee, as he was dying of hydrophobia. His death, and that of three other strong and healthy men in Massachusetts and Connecticut, within short time, from hydrophobia, have alarmed many people. Two of the dogs that bit two of the men have escaped, and how many more deaths will result therefrom remains to be seen. In the Connecticut valley it is feared that rabies have become widely communicated. Even valuable horses and other animal, have died of it, and there is strong feel ing in favor of killing every dog within a circuit of thirty miles. The Connecticut Legislature is considering 8 proposition to impose a tax of $2O on every dog, with stringent penalties for non-payment. Six deaths from this disease, in various parts of the country, have been reported within P ,amonth, says the New York Sua-an in- crease that calls for decisive steps to pre- vent it's further spa cad.

An Eccentric Clergyman.

Itis now near twenty years since Father Newel, as he was called, happened to be in Charleston during the pastoral vacation, and was invited to preach in the old Cir cular Church, then us venerable as St. MichaePs. The committee heard more of. him. and of his eccentricities, in which he rivaled Lorenzo Dow, and resolved to give him a friendly hinton the Sabbath. They did so, saying that he must not for get that he was in the great city of Charleston, and was to preach in fine. church to very refined audience Ia
 There was all ominous smile, as he said he would remember.
 Service commenced, ,-=-and hymn and prayer were not much out of the common, save with more power in them, and the committee on pulpit supply began to breathe freely, md to use their fans and handkerch;efs. .sr ." sk s
 It was time to preaoh, and old Newell got up. He looked all around, and up at the gallery, crowded with the quad. room and mulatto nurses and servants of the quality, and then he began a.
 "I am told must be careful what I say to day, for this is 8 refined church and refined city, and am to preach to Very refined audience. I,have been looking around for the refinement, and I see it. You refine thing when you take it in Its coarse state, like black mo- 1asses or yellow sugar, and make it white and fine. You bring ship load of ne- groes to this city of Charleston, and every face is so black it would cast 8 shadow on chimney back and the hair is as kinky as theological students ideas You keep them in Charleston one hun dred years, and to save my soul can't tell, half the time, the negro from the white man, nor the quadroon nurse from the child's mother, nor the yellow girl from the white, only she ain't so bilious Yes, own up to you.

A Story of Life.

Several years ago, says New York letter, the young wife of successful business man became acquainted with an artist of some note, and the acquaint- anoe soon ripened into intimacy. TT e merchant was away at business every day, and the artist had free access to his house. He visited it almost daily and was received by the unfaithful wife. At length one of the house servants stepped in as third party. She informed her mistress that she knew exactly how mat ters stood, but sLe was willing to keep her knowledge to herself for fair con- sideration. The woman saw that she had person to deal with who could not be fooled. She proposed plan that would suit both we'll. A month later the servant was installed as owner of neat little fancy goods store. From that time forward her mistress was 8 frequent visi- tor. She always called to buy some- thing, but she also always received letter with her purchase, and she gener- ally left one as we'll The letters she re- ce1ved came from the artist and those she left were for him. They related solely to street appointments, which were sell dom neglected. The appointments were made for parts of the city in which the parties were unknown, and it was not likely that they would be noticed. This was kept going for several years, and the woman's husband never had an hiking of it. Then the woman fell ill, died and was buried, with her husbands tears fresh on the coffin, and to th1s day he does not know that she was false to him. The artist was also taken away by death soon after, and the blackmailing servant failed in business, her chief resource be- ing gone, and became servant again. Th1s is merely skeleton sketch of an affair which, had it been known two years ago. would have made lively stir in the social world. l--l-- .--'

Rough Tralnps and Hard Fare.

The Cooperstown, N. Y., Freeneasa's
 Joaa'nal says: Cooperstown was in
 vaded by tramps on Monday last Some
 of them went about the village making
 their wants known. Toward night twelve of them were taken to- the jail by the poormaster to be kept over night, and they were put in one of the halls.
 They all professed to be very hungry,
 but when supplied by the" Sheriff with 8 good bowl of fmush and Smllk, they threw the same on the floor, broke the dishes, and commenced to be very noisy and abusive. Sheriff Barton commanded order, which not being obeyed he drew h1s pistol, atwhich tie fingleader placed his: hand on bis hip as if to draw wea- pon. Very quickly the -Sneriff's pistol took position close to his bosom, and he was told that1f he moved his hand he would be shot down. TheS9fellow then caved, and was searched. and no weapon was found on him. One of the tramps was then ordered to clean up the ,muss which they had made, and atfirst refused to do so, he-was jerked nearly out of his boots by the Sheriff, and found himself coming in contact with the opposite wall of the room, after which he took hold and did as he was told. Without going to the trouble of getting the crew hot supper, they were locked up in cells till morning. Then the poormaster ap- pears against them, and Justice Leor ard sentenced one to jail for sixty day.: nine to the County House, and two were discharged.s e4A .EE- AA& Fl $<

The DardanelIes.


 } The Dardanelles, toward which so much attention is now directed, fairly teens with historic. and poetic memories. Its navigation was first attempted by the Argonauts, under Jason, in their search for the Golden Fleece. At Abydos, Xerxes built his famous Bridge of Boats for the invasion of Greece, and it was here that the loves of Hero and Leander became world renowned Leander, who lived at Abydos, on the Asiatic shore, was in love with Hero, the beautiful priestess of Venus, at Sestos, and regu- larIy swan the strait to meet his mis- tress. One dark and stormy night he failed to appear, and when the luckless Hero visited the shore the next morning the waves had washed the dead body of her lover upon the sands. Overcome by her loss, she plunged into the sea, and the spot became ever after sacred to their memory. On the Sd of March, 1910, Lord Byron swan the Dardanelles at the same point in seventy minutes. He was accompanied by Lieut.. Akenhead, whose name has been handed down to posterity in the line
 "Which Leander, MT. Akenhead, and did. The swim from Abydos to Sestos is still repeated yearly by Byron-inspired tour ists, and will probably continue to be as long as the glamour of poetry and tra- dition hangs round the spot zem
