DESPAIR AND DEAA4R.

The body of a young woman was recent
" found lying between the rails about
mile from the London side of Bishopis
Stortford Railway station. She was pas
senger by the express from Cambridge to
London, which ran through the station
about quarter before eight without stop
ming. On arrival Of the train at Tottenham
two men passengers, one young and the
other representing himself as deceased's
father. stated that she had jumped from
the train, but without waiting to prosecute
inquiry or returning, they proceeded on to
st. Pancras, and nothing further was heard
of them until the afternoon of the next
day, when the station master had telegram
from her father asking if his daughter had
been found and where lying In deceaseds
pocket was a purse with the name and
address: 'tNIiss Hardie, 40 Hartham-rcad,
Camdem-road," also a telegram from
"Alec, King s-cross, to her, at the above
address, as follows: "God help us. 1t
cannot ever be now. My people, dread
full way. Have gone to Newmarket. Will
come direct to you as soon as I return" !"
After deceased leaped from the train she
fell ON her head, which only was injured,
and the momentum carried the body twenty
wards further. Deceased was well dressed
and of prepossessing appearance. The
father and lover came by the afternoon
train to identify the body. From what
they state the deceased was to have been
married. and upon receiving telegram
from her expected husband which was tan
ttmonnt to breaking of the engagement,
she and her father proceeded to Newmarket
to see him. On the return journey she
was terribly agitated; making an effort to
leave the train between Newmarket and
Cambridge, and at the latter station tried
to escape from their control. She succeed
ed in leaping from the train just after
passing Stortford, only the three being IL
that compartment. The train went on tc
Tottenhafn, the guard and driver knowing
nothing Of the occurrence.

hardy denizens of the rugged mountain
districts of the State7-are in favor of
sustaining the credit of the State.
In point of time, it can not meet its
obligations But they are in favor of an
settlement of the public indebt-
ehess in a manner that will be satisfac-
tory to the State creditors. Col. Flem-
ming, of the Knoxville Tribune, is said
to be in full accord with this purity, who
are desirous of sustaining the honor OF
the State, and has already taken the
stump in opposition to repudiation. 1t
is thought, however, that the dishonest
element in the political atmosphere is
constantly gaining strength and boldness.
The agitation OF the question has already
become bitter and unrelenting. The
three parties have at this early day put
on their war paint. Each is marshaled
by colonel who through the Influence
of his respective faction is seeking to be-
come commander-in-chief in Tennessee
politics with but little real interest in
the future credit of the State or the well
fare of its people.

ABOVE !TzHE CLOUDS.

Probably the largest and highest rock in
the known world is the South Dome of
Yosemite. Standing at the fork of the
upper valley, it rears itself, solid rocky
loaf, G,oo0 feet above the ground. A more
powerful hand than that of a Titan has
cut away the eastern half, leaving sheer
precipice over mile in height. No man
ever trod the top of this dome until last
year. Former visitors gazed in wonder
at the spikes driven into the rock by hardy
spirits, who had repeatedly endeavored to
scale it, The shreds of ropes dangling in
the wind told the story of their failure.
Last year, however, after thousands of
dollars were spent, several persons found
their way to the top of the dome, and this
summer two sheep were discovered brows-
ing on the hitherto inaccessible peak.

'VEaE yysNDMILL IN DUTCE1 AiiT.

Whole regiments of windmills are con-
tinually at work, keeping the balance even
between the inland and the outward waters,
pumping up that of the low levels sufficient
ly high to enable it to find an exit into the
sea. Besides this, they saw wood, grind
flour, crush inseed, etc, so that it is no
wonder that they hold so honorable a
place in Dutch art. 1t is found that they
only raise the water proftably to height
of three or four feet, 80 that when ten or
twelve feet have to be accomplished, three
mills, in steps one above another, are en-
ployed, each to do its own share of the
work There are said to be nine thousand
of these industrious slaves in Holland, and
Amsterdam would seem to be the very
centre of the battalion. There is one in
each anglo of the now useless Notifications,
and they are sprinkled up and down al
along the outer canal.
The town is the crown of wonder of en-
gineering skill, patient labor, and untiring
struggles with water, weather, and wind,
for the whole place is below the level of
the sea. 1t has struck its roots deep be-
low, like great patient oak, and there is
almost as much material sunk beneath the
feet as is to be seen above the heads OF
the Inhabitants. The ugly palace alone
is built upon more than seventy thousand
piles
