clads, the "Prussen" "Grosser Kurn-

mouth, whence II Is expected TO sail
for Gibraltar. When the squadron

men crowding on bulwarks. In about
five minutes one vessel went down on
her side, her boilers blowing up M she

A mempn,. Man ON Tho ne.,.

About week ago young man took
board at the LeGrand hotel, register
ing himself under the name OF J. II.
Tatum, Memphis. Yesterday morning
he went to livery stable on Camp
street where he hired a horse, saying
he wished to 10 short distance over
the river, and that he would not be
gone above IN hour. Going to his
hotel he managed by some means un-
known to the clerk, to slip his valise
out, and he has not been heard from
since. He was In arrears at the hotel
for several days board. There appears
to DO something very crooked about
the young man, as he failed to respond
to the name under which he had reg
istered when spoken to. A farmer
who has been selling peaches from a
wagon on the streets for the past few
days, says that party answering the
description Of the young man, passed
lot of silver counterfeit money on
him. The authorities OF the neighbor.
ing towns have been notified to keep
a lookout for him, and he may yet re-,
visit the city In official company.

NUMBER 3S.

A RoMAHCE or To-DAY-There passed
down on the train the other day an aged
but smart-lookiug lady, between sixty and
seventy years of age, having with her a
little child about two years old, whose
dark complexion unmistsksbly betokened
Indian origin, and naturally excitod some
curiosity. The lady was communicative
and told story filled with romance. She
was q widow with an only son, living in
Connecticut. Her boy grew TO be young
man and, filed with the love of adventure
he forsook the parental roof and came 10
the West. His rovings al last led him to
Bismark. Dakota Territory, where he be-
came interested with the Indian traders
and finally D1arried the daughter OF chief
the fruit OF the union being one child. AT
length In an engagement with the hostiles
the young man was killed. The sad news
reached thewidow in due time. She was
almost disoonsolats in her grief. With
true maternal feelings she at once resolved
to search for her sons child. and, if pos
sible. TO find in il an object upon which
she might bestow her care and motherly
love. Forthwith she journeyed TO Mime
sofa. The difficulties in the way formed
no barrier to her New England energy
Her diligent inquiries along the Northern
Pacific Railroad brought to her acquain-
tanoe q man who knew her son. For 800
he offered TO find the squaw who had been
the sons wife. Without going into details
OF the search il is sufficient TO say that the
tribe of Indians was found, and with il
the squaw and the child. When the lady
first saw her grandchild she thought she
could discern ii his features resemblance
10 her son, but when the little one was in
the midst OF d numbe. OF Indian children
il was hard 10 discover much difference.
Nevertheless. the grandmother OF the dus-
KY little half-breed pTas bent on having
him brought up under the gentle .ishuen-
ces OF Conneclicut civilization. and she
quieted her compuncsons of bartering in
human flesh by the exigences OF the case
and the gift OF six sacks OF flour to the
bereaved Indian widow. The old lady
departed with her new iound treasure. as

4 Monkey Story.

One OF the best monkey stories VIC
have seen is contained in the London Ma
ture. A brave, active, Intelligent terrier,
belonging to lady. one day discovered
monkey belonging to an itinersnt or
gan grinder, seated upon q bank within
the grounds, and at once made dash for
him. The monkey, who was attired in
jacket and hat, awaited the onset with
such undisturbed tranquility that tho dog
halted within few feet OF him TO recon-
noitre. Both animals took long, steady
stare at each other. but the dog evidently
was recovering from bis surprise, aud
about 10 spring for the intruder. Al this
critical iuncture the monkey, who had
remained perfectly quiet hitherto, raised
his paw and gracefully saluted By lifting
his bat. The effect was magical; the
dogs head and tail dropped, and he
sneaked of and entered the house, re-
fusing TO leave it until he was satisfied
that his polite bat mysterious guest had
departed. His whole demeanor showed
plainly that he felt the monkey was some-
thing "uncanny," and no. to be meddled
with. ... .....

Correct Speaking.

We advise all young people to acquire
in early life the habit OF using good Ian
gusge. both in speaking and writing, and
also 70 abandon the use OF slang words
and phrases. The longer they live, the
more difficult the acquisition of good
language will be, and If the golden age
of youth-the proper time for the acqui-
sition of language-be passed in its
abuse, the unfortunate victim of neglected
education is very probably doomed to
talk slang for life. Money is not neces-
sary 10 produce this education. Every
man has it in his power. He has merely
to use the language which he reads, in
stead of the slang which he hears, to
form his taste from the best speakers aud
poets of the country; to treasure up
choice phrases in his memory, and habit
uate himself TO their use. avoiding at the
same time that pedantic precision and
bombsst which show rather the weakness
of vain ambition than the polish OF an
educated mind.
