FOREIGN S.
A. GERMAN IRONCLAD LOST,
PORTED DROWNED.
The Crew Consisted Of 60O Men.


Dover, May 81.
A German squadron, consisting Of three
ironclads, the Prussen, Grosser Kurfurst
and Koenig Wilhelm, passed Dover at 8:45
o'clock this morning, bound for Plymouth,
whence it is expected to sail for Gibraltar.
When the squadron was off Ludgate, about
five miles from shore, one OF the IRON
clads was observed to be keeling over on
her beam ends, and the men were seen
crowding on her bulwarks. In about five
minutes the vessel went down on her side,
her boilers blowing up as she sank. The
boats from the other ironclads were
launched, and a number Of Folkestone
fishing smacks, near by, hurried to save
the same. 1t is hoped that many lives
were saved. The Folkestone life-boat was
launched, bat arrived too late to be Of
service. Several steamers have gone to
the scene of the disaster from Dover. 1t
is believed the Koenig Wilhelm, which ran
into the Grosser Kurfust, is pretty badly
damaged.
New York, May 81.
A London dispatch states that the Ger
man Embassy is informed hat $50 persons
were drowned by the sinking Of the IRON
clad Grosser Kurfurst. The German Am
bassador, with the Grown Prince, have
gone by special train TO the scene of the
disaster. The vessels were under full
headway when the Koenig Wilhelm ran
into the Grosser Kurfurst. The shock was
terrific, the latter vessel filling and sinking
within five minutes after the collision.
To add to the horrors Of the situation, the
boilers Of the vessels exploded, scattering
death and destruction in every direction.
LONDON, May 31-4 P. NJ.
A telegram to the Admiralty says: OF
the sinking of the Grosser Kurfurst, about
800 persisted and 200 have been saved.
This comes from the Coast Guard, at
Folkestone. A dispatch from Dover says
it is reported that the Grosser Kurfust car
ried a crew Of 600 men, Of whom between
800 and 400 are supposed to be lost. A tel
. egram to the Lloyds. from Folkestoae, re-
peats the report first te~iegraphed, that only
eighteen men were rescued, but its cor
rectncss is doubted, all the other reports

A Flying Visit to Paradise.

There is nut for the psychologists to
crack in the recent strange experience of j.
Harry Shrack, young merchant of Phila-
delphia. He had been very i'll for some
months, and last Sunday he apparently died.
After the body had lain few hours prepara-
tions were begun for laying it out, when, to
the amazement of every one, Mr.. Shrack re-
vived, and, what is still more astonishing, in
a short time was almost as well as ever. But
the strangest feature of the case was the Wis
ion Shrack says he saw while he was, to all
appearance, a corpse. His sensation, he
says, was like that of falling down vast
height, and then he found himself in deep
valley Before him was black river, with
people crossing, and beyond it dark cloud.
AS he drew nearer the cloud, shuddering, it
opened and revealed sight of surprising
beauty. He saw great temple and throne,
and the first being he saw was Christ. He
also noticed his dead wife and children, and
his dead grandfather, who died when he was
but two years old. besides other persons he
had known. The vision then began to recede,
to his intense grief, and he found himself
in bed with his pains gone and his strength
returned.

"A Human Midget.

Master Frankly Flynn, of Norwich, N. Y,
is probably the smallest specimen of a boy
ever known. He is four and half years
old, and is thus described by the correspond
ent of the Utica O6ser0er: We wcntto see him,
expecting a Tom Thumb or Commodore
Mutt to walk in before US. Imagine our sur
prise when his grandmother brought him in
as she would a good sized cat. He is not so
large as one of 'rom Thumbs legs. In Tom
Thumbs carriage he would look as lonesome
as al ordinary man in circus band wagon
To sit upon one OF Tom Thumbs easy chairs
would be to him what it is to an ordinary boy
to perch upon gate-post when the spring
comes. He is smaller than any one can con-
ceive who has not seen him. Yesterday he
had on two pairs of stockings, and even then
the smallest sized baby shoes were too large
for him. His wrist is the size of an ordinary
mans thumb, his ankle but slight increase.
He was dressed in full suit, like man He
stands twenty-three inches in his Shoes and
weighs, clothes and all, twelve pounds That
is the most he ever weighed in his life. Still,
he is lively, sprightly boy, very active,
climbing into chairs and getting down; walks
around with his hands behind him, like his
grandpa" and talks and laughs, and is as
cute as any boy of his years. He is no larger
than he was when one year old.

A Pick ~POcket.''

The Placerville, (Cal.) Democrat of Feb
ruary I'd says: "A few weeks ago, Sam.
Stuckslager and Nathan Plumtree, theowners
of porphyry claim near Thompson's Hill,
a short distance south of Uniontown, gave
Oscar Osborn and Joe Bundle permission to
prospect the lead, on condition that the pro-
jectors should have half the proceeds After
working short time pocket was struck,
which promises to be one of the richest ever
discovered The quartz is of very friable
character, easily broken up, and the proper
ton Of gold is simply enormous. In one
day enough rock was taken out to yield,
when crushed, nearly $4,000. The shaft
has been driven to considerable depth, but
is not yet through the pocket, nor has either
end been found. Mr.. Lohry, merchant at
Uniontown, very reliable gentleman, esti-
mates that there is $3.50, 900 worth of rock
in sight. To say that the parties in interest
are delighted does not half express it Other
prospectors are on the ground diligently
searching for the continuation of the ledge.
No doubt this find will give great impetus
to porphyry mining, and, indeed, to regular
quartz mining as well.

"What do yer think of that, eh!
And ten pound piece Of boulder was
thrown down kerslam on the table. We
looked at the dirty piece of rock and then at
the individual who spoke. He was lanky,
and the winds of the hills had tinged his fea-
lures, and the dust of the Meadow Valley
wash clung to his hair. Said we:
''Friend, you mistake the establishment.
We have no contract to build any temples.

Bristol was once the chief commercial city
on the west cost of England, but Liverpool,
surprising it in harbor facilities, has gradu.
ally stolen away its trade. The Bristolians
recently sought to recover share of this
trade by building extensive docks at the mouth
of their river, the Avon; but the expedient
failed to accomplish the desired results, the
effect being to rather build up new city at
the mouth of the river than to bring the trade
to the old one. So now new scheme is on
foot which contemplates damming the river
at its mouth and thereby converting the en-
tire channel into magnificent harbor, seven
miles in length, and reaching right to the
heart of the city. Vessels will enter by locks,
and the largest steamers afoat will find am
pie accommodations. Should this scheme be
carried out, it is not unlikely that Liverpool
will have to yield up large share of her
trades to her old rival.

A Romance OF Divorce.

About the 1st of January there appeared in
the New York Herald all advertisement, in.
quiring the address Of ''the daughter of the
late Horace Meech," to whom, it stated, the
late William G. GIynn, of Boston, had, by
will left fortune of $S0,0OO, application tc
be made to MIR. Choate, fremont street, Bos-
ton.
Horace Mech was many years ago well
known resident of Albany. William G..
Glynn was at the same time-perbaps quar-
ter of century ago-a teacher of music in
that city. Among his pupils was Miss Mech,
daughter OF the aforesaid. Glynn fell in love
with the young lady, and she, presumably,
with him, and they were married. The par
ents were bitterly opposed to the match, and
succeeded, in few months, in persuading
their daughter to leave him. A divorce fol
lowed. Glynn removed to Boston, and was
lost to sight. His divorced wife soon married
a young gentleman in Rochester, who died
not long after in the South. The widow
Buffalo. He also, died, leaving the widow
with one daughter, now grown up, married,
and herself mother
The widow, in reduced circumstances. was
living with sister on Staten Island, when
some Albany friends, seeing by chance the
advertisement, acquainted her with its con-
tents. She at once took measures to secure
the bonanza left her by her first love. 1t
seems that Glynn, after removing to Boston,
made a fortune in the music business. Time,
however, nor circumstances made him forget
''the girl he left behind him." although she
had thrice married, and had become grand
mother since his eyes had beheld her.

O'COnOr'S Success.

The life of Charles O'Conor, the eminen
lawyer, shows what diligence and persever
ance will accomplish.
When but eight years old, he was On Office
boy and newspaper-carrier. His father
published weekly newspaper, and Charles,
besides attending in the Office, delivered the
journal to its subscribers in New York,
Brooklyn and Jersey City. He used to take
a skif to cross the rivers, and frequently
would be out all Saturday night serving his
route. 1t is said that he never missed sub
scriber.
When seventeen years old, he entered q
lawyers Office as an errand boy. He Dor
rowed law books, took them home and read
them, by the light of tallow candle, far into
the night Several lawyers noticing the boy's
industry, aided him in his studies.
When he was twenty-four years old, he
was admitted to the bar, and even then it was
said that young O'Conors legal opinion was
worth more than that of many other lawyers.
But success comes slowly to young law
yer, and it was not until bis thirtieth year
that clients recognized the legal learning and
skill of young O'Conor. He was very poor,
but industry and ability was his capital. He
worked hard, at the smallest case, never
slighting any trust, and in time secured the
reputation of . man who would do his best
for those employing him. To this conscien-
tiousness and industry he owed his success.

TEMPTATION AND TEARS.
"A Fair Virginia Maiden Punished For
PurlOiming From the Mails.
[Richmond Special.l

[Richmond SpeciaLl
| Miss Ema Davenport, who was arrested
and brought to this city yesterday, charged
with robbing the mail at Goochland court
house, in this State, was tried before the
| United States court and pleaded guilty. The
accused excited the deepest sympathy among
| all the crowd Of spectators who were present
at the trial, and the large assembly OF men,
bers of the bar who were attracted by the
peculiar case, and the remarkable beauty of
the fair prisoner. The young girl, when
told to stand and hear the Indictment read
broke down and burst into paroxysm of
tears. The jury before whom she Was to be
tried evjnced their sympathy for the young
girl, many Of them being melted to tears.
The scene was truly a novel and most affect
ing one. The aged father and many of the
friends of Miss Davenport were present,
waiting the sentence of the court, each tremb-
ling with fear, and having in their minds the
ignominy of long term in the Albany peni-
tertiary. In answer to question propounded
by the Judge as to her reasons for commit
ting the crime, Miss Davenport said she stole
the silk dress to attend ball which was g given
in her neighborhood few weeks ago. She
had promised to 60 with her beau, could not
raise the funds to purchase silk dress, and,
seeing package in the post Office which con-
tained the coveted article, could not fOrbear
taking it. When pronouncing sentence, the
court was so touched at the scene around him
that he was affected to tears. The sentence
was the lightest that could possibly have been
inf1icted-$1O0 fine. The rumor is that the
young girl and her aff1anced will wed to-mor-
row.
