The roaring Tiber on Friday and Satur-
day carried along through ITS city course
great trunks of trees. huge bits Of wood,
fragments OF bridges, even bodies Of men.
horses and oxen, which the dashing waters
had hurled down from the upper valleys
of the river sources, and were bearing
swiftly down TO the sea on its tumultuous
tawny current. The city had a most desc
late, melancholy look. The yellow river
tapped along through broad and narrow
streets and wide piazzas. poured into eel
lars and the lower floor of houses. The
people stood about in squads, looking
hopelessly, with that disheartened express
sion peculiar 20 a Roman. No human be-
ing can give you such depressing feelings

the inhdo ele.ento of Horace swept over
the piazza, a poor, gaunt-lookIng woman
waded through the water, which dashed
above her bare knees. She carried on her
shoulders child Of about seven years Of

her neck.

FLOWER OF THE DAISY,
From Harper's Monthly.
A Christmas Story.

1t was Just week before Christmas,
perched on his three-legged stool, in the
counting room Of the great house of
Worthington Brothers, old Joe Darling,
the ancient book-keeper of the firm, was
finishing his Saturday nights entries.
When thus engaged. a hand was laid on
his shoulder, and, turning his head, he
saw his old, gray-haired employer, the
sole proprietor of the firm, beside him.
Its the last time, my old friend"
said the merchant, pointing to the ledger;
the news this evening decides everything.
Unless something happens before the LIST
OF January, Worthington Brothers must
close doors and wind up business. joe"
Old Joe started as he listened TO these
melancholy words, and tremor ran
through hum.
Don't say that! don't say that. Mr.
Worthlngton! he exclaimed And lie
dabbed his forehead with his old bandanna
handkerchief as he spoke. Don't say
that Worthington Brothers will suspend
payment, SIR"
Worse than that, Joe," returned the
Old merchant with heavy sigh. II see
no hope Of resuming. The great failures
in Europe have hopelessly involved us-so
that"-he stopped with gloomy express
sion in his eyes-'.so that. on or before the
LIST Of January" he added ''the house
will close Its doors. ] could bear that;
but when think that the name of Worth
ington Brothers will be dishonored-''
There the old man broke down. Joe
seized his hand, and cried in trembling
voice:
Don't, don't = don't say that, sir,
Don't use that word kiishonored! 1t Is
not 80 bad"
Ruin! ruin! utter ruin" groaned the
merchant.
mo. no; not ruin!" See here sir II
I-vou see. have saved little
And old Joe drew from his pocketbook,
with unsteady hands, certificates Of de-
post IN various banks.

Tie Doethu hussTtfeTs
Several weeks ago one of our well-known
citizens was in st. Louis with his daugh-
ter and a young lady friend of hers. From
that point the gentleman bought three
sleeping-cars sections of the Pullman Pal
ace Car Company. received his tickets from
st. Louis to Boston. the berths purchased
were marked with his name and marked
paid; and this diagram of the cars so mark
ed was placed in the hands of the conduc-
tor on the Pullman car. When the conduc-
tor came TO take up the tickets. the gen
tleman, being in earnest conversation with
friend, handed out the envelope contain
ing, as he supposed, all the tickets. The
conductor, not interrupting the converse
ticn at once, soon spoke and claimed that
one ticket was missing and demanded and
collected pay the second time. which pay
ment was made. however, under protest.
and receipt taken from the conductor
stating the facts At the time this payment
was made the conductor had in his hand
the diagram with three sections marked
paid. These evidences of double payment
were sent IN the office OF the company in
Chicago. who paid no attention to it. OF
this experience and similar adventure in
a Wagner car on the same trip. the gentle
man writes:
The company did not deem the matter
worthy of notice. II is very small matter.

was rather glad they took no notice Of IT.
made inquiry as ! proceeded on my jour
ney, and found the conductor had followed
the rule Of the road 10 take no evidence
e1ce,f the ticket. and to demand double
payment if this was lost In my own case
can not prove that the conductor stole 1t:
but why otherwise should not all have been
missing. instead Of one. a. they we're all to-
gether? The conductor was evidently train
ed 10 his business. and If each conductor
should knock down on one passenger on
each train. somebody would IN time reap a
harvest

The COlonel'S Joke

A few days ago Col. G., promi.
nent oil Spectator in the fourishing
city Of Bradford, Pa. went into his
clearinghouse, kept by the Widow
B., he found the latter taking glycer-
inc for medicinal purposes.
"Why! what are you about? ex-
claimed the colonel, in an astonished
manner"
Taking some glycerine; it was re.
commended to me by one of my friends,
who said it would prove beneficial to
my lungs"
The colonel took the vial from off
the bureau, and examined it atteHtively
for few moments.
Madam, are you sure it was friend
that gave you this and told you to use
it?" asked the colonel, seriously.
"Well, I have always considered her
so, although I can't cay like her very
we'll, answered madam.
ut is as I thought, Mrs. B.; some
enemy has done this. This is pure
nitro glyceripe, such rs they use in
torpedos. Sit still, don't move; you
are apt to blow in pieces any moment.
Be quiet, and I will get ply ician as
soon as possible and see what can be
DONE"
The colonel disappeared through
the doorway, leaving Mrs. B-sitting
in her chair. scarcely daring to breathe
for two long hours-two hours which
seemed like eternity to her, expecting
every moment to be blown into atoms,
while visions of people picking her mp
in small pieces passed through her
mind.
Her daughter coming into the room
where she was, found her in this pre-
dicament. and inquired what was the
matter.
Mrs. b. murmured, Go away" and
tainted. After bringing her 70 she
told her story. which caused q great
deal of suppressed tittering among her
listeners.
That very evening Colonel G.
changed boarding houses, and bought
himself new wig.
Two Black Killers arrived on the
stage from Deadvood and put up II the
