saddest blow to Efie. Her 'fater, too,
was taken from her, and no wonder that
for time she was crushed by the blow.
But there were duties closely pressing
on every side, ana she could not Weld to
idle grief. She set herself faithfully to
work to carry out the principles of life
that her father had been instilling
through ali the years Of her existence.
An orphaned cousin, like herself fnan-
cially stranded, she took into her counsel.
Their plans we're soon matured, and in a
new fast growing town they opened a
small provision store with tae limited
capital they could command. Their
store soon became noted as the neatest
grocery store in the place. Every thing
was fresh and tidy, and there was always
room for a blooming fower-pot in the
window. 1t was something rare and
beautiful, and often changed for another
which had been perfecting itself in the
small back room where the brave girls
kept house. A hired boy was all the
help they had at first, but with their
bright, CHEEKY ways they managed to
"make much" of him. Cheerful folks
are always the best served by those in
their employ.
Effe was the business manager, and
she conducted their Financial affairs adj
mirably. And Saturday night she could
tell you axactly how the firm stood, and
as it was cash store there were no bad
debts to bother about. Now all her form
er education came in play. She was
most thankful for that early drilling
which had brought her to handle money
wisely, and turn it over to the best advan-
tage. The business grew with asteady,
healthy growth, like SNOWFALL in deep
snow. Better still, her worth was known
and valued in the community to which
her presence was blessing. The poor
and the suffering knew always where to
turn for helper and a sympathizing
friend.
Effie, too, found new and happy
home at last, and not unwillingly laid of
the cares of the large establishment on
and an industrious young merchant who
proposed to unite the interests of the two
concerns in a very emphatic manner. In
deed, henceforth Dell seemd to take fully
as much interest in Arthur's success in
business as her own. Whenever the
wheels got into tight place, Cousin Efie
was willing to leave her handsome home
and its precious ties, and come down for
a day or two, if need be, to help straighten
affairs.
Indeed, in all the relations of life she
never found it Of the slightest disadvant-
age that she had enjoyed the benefit OF a
thorough business training, and she fully
carried out her plans Of making her own
girls efficient, practical working women,
as she wished her only son to be an in
dustrions, intelligent business man.
If more daughters were trained in the
same way, this would not be such hard
world for women to make living in,
when reverses come. There are great
many poor people in almost every com
munity, but few ere so poor or so hard to
help as useless women who have been
reared in idleness of both brain and hand

the effects of the injuries received. During
the whole campaign only two men were pun
ished with death; one for the crime of deser-
ton, the other for robbery, accompanied
with violence. On the other hand, $4,000
rewards were given in the form Of decora
tions, promotions or rewards of money, the
eighth corps, which so long held and de-
Tended the Shipka Pass, receiving the great
est proportion.

EROM OCEAN TO OCEAN BY
CANAL.
Rear Admiral Ammen's Arg,nnent I,
Fdror Of the Nicaragua Route.

Rear Admiral Ammen's Argument IN
Fdpor Of the Nicaragua Route.
The paper read before the Geographi-
cal Society last night, in Chickering
Hall, was by Rear Admiral Daniel AM
men, U. s. n. After referring in highly
complementary terms to the services OF
such surveyors as Lieut. Wyse of the
French Navy, and Commander Z. p.
Lull and A. q. Menocal Of the United
States Navy, the Admiral said that no
route exists comparable with that which
has been fsvorably spoken of by the sur.
veyors acting under the orders of our
Government.
The most important physical feature il
the existence of Lake Nicaragua, which
when full, is 108 feet above the ocea,
levels. This is designed to be the sum
init level of the canal. The cost of th,
canal will fall short of S5O, 900 900.
The question at issue is, can an inter
oceanic canal be constructed with ad
Vantage to its constructors, as well az I,
| the advantage of the commerce of tn,
world? Information from the hes
sources indicates that not less than 3 900,
| 600 tons Of British and American shin
| ping would pass through the canal wear
| ly, and that the aggregate tonnage of tn,
other commercial powers would be yer,
| great.
| The saving of distance between New
York and San Francisco via Lake Nicar
aqua would be 5000 miles. Admira
Anmen advocated the construction O
| the canal on an International basis.

prisoDer. -Four or We years ago. being a
wtdower, me married a respectable widow,
whs had q daughter about twelve years
Of age. The family, being In comfortable
circumstances, lived happily until about
year ago, when the daughter, Mollie,
began to bud into womanhood. Her step
father fell desperately in love with her,
and took hardly any pains to conceal the
fact from her neither.
He courted his fair stepdaughter assidu-
ously but the maiden rejected his suit,
and declined his rep"a'ef prop osals of an
elopement. Meantime Mollie had a sui
tor in the person of u respectable young
gentleman of the city. aud to him she
confined her troubles, ard, as the read
lest means of escaping the per- uting
attentions OF her stepfather, she promis-
ed TO give him her hand in marriage
without unnecessary delay. BY some
means Porter learned of their Intentions,
and, in his blind infatuation, he resolved
TO possess himself of his stepdaughter By
a forcible abduction. Accordingly, he
bade her to pack up her clothes and pre-
pare TO accompany him from the city to
be married, threatening in the event of
her refusal, to murder her and her moth
er then and there.
All these threats and propositions were
made in the presence of the wife and
mother. The girl wisely decided to pr, :
tend TO be willing TO elope, and set up the
prefence OF making the necessary pre-
+ lrations tor the proposed journey, and
e.Gly this morning both the mother aud
daughter, managing to elute Porters
vigilance, hastened to the Mayors office,
aud laid the facts before his Honor.
Porter was speedily prisoner. He had
no defence 10 offer, and, in default OF
81 900 bail, The Mayor committed him to
jail to await the action OF the q and
