FOREIGN SUMMARY.

An excursion train on the London,
Chatham & Dover Railway, from Ramsgate
Broadstairs and Margate, crowded with
passengers, near Sittingbourne junction,
came in collision with some freight cars
while the latter were switch ng off the
main line. The train was running at ex-
press speed, and was completely wrecked.
Eight persons were killed and thirty Sc
verely injured.
The excursion steamer Princess Alice,
returning from Gravesend on the evening
of September 8, with about eight hundred
passengers, was run down off Banking
about eight O'Clock by screw steamer.
The Princess Alice was struck amidships
and sank almost immediate y. The number
of persons drowned is variously estimated
at from five hundred to five hundred and
fifty. The higher estimate is the latest,
and is given by the London Steamboat
Company, owners of the Princess Alice.
The steamer which sunk the Princess Alice
is supposed to be the Bvwell Castle, a screw
co lier. bound north in ballast. The steward
of The Princess Alice states that after the
collision the other steamer proceeded with
out attempting to render aid. He estimates
that seven hundred persons were
on board the Princess Alice.
She sank bow first, in five minutes after
she was struck. Some small boats and
another excursion steamer rendered what
assistance was possible. The drowned in
clude an extraordinary proportion of wo-
men and children. Several survivors speak
of having lostas many as three, five, and six
children

The Brave Southern Howards.
New York Tribune

We want our readers to stop lust for
one moment and look at this matter.
These nurses who have gone out of the
pure air of their homes to the plague
stricken towns, to handle and tenderly
care for dead and dying men who are ut
ter strangers to them, need a higher cour-
age than a soldier marching into the
thick of battle. They gain nothing,
neither pay nor glory. Their victories
are not watched by proud country, for
whose honor they give their lives. : If
they die no weeping nati0n will, year by
year, hang laurels on their graves. The
Howard nurse is only mentioned in the
papers as % one of twenty who are
dead. His name nobody knows. If he
falls, his friends only learn OF it because
he fails to return. There is no. battle
cry ormartial music to cheer his soul in
its last struggle with death; in the fu-
ture there is to be no roll-call of a vic
torious army, with the proud answer to
name, "Dead upon the field of honor" ."
He gives his life for some poor plague
stricken wretch, probably OF less value
to the world than himself, in the pois-
oned air of a solitary chamber, where
there is none but God to know. He is
buried hastily in nameless grave, with
shuddering and fear, and quick-lime is
thrown upon his body. This sacrifice
he makes out of pure love for God and
humanity, and this sacrifice is now max.
ing, not by one man. but by every one
of the hundreds of nurses sent out by the
Howard Association. Every one oi
them carries his life in his hand as he

A Very Sharp Woman.
Detroit Free Press ]

Some time ago Mollie Sullivan and
Tom O'Brien were married at Saginaw.
During the past four or five weeks Mollie
has had suspicious that woman few
doors north of their saloon on Beaubien-
street had been weaving the affections
of her husband from her, and last even
ing she broached the subject to him.
Tom Immediately became very angry,
and pitched into Mollie, beating her
severely, and securing a visit from Off
Central Police-station. Mollie was very
mad over the beating her husband gave
her, and determined to satisfy herself
as to whether she was in the right or
wrong. Accordingly she engaged boy,
and by him sent the following note to
her rival: d" l am in trouble and out of
money, Will you come and see me? ?
Tom.n In few minutes an answer was
returned by the boy as follows: "Where
shall come, and what is the trouble
Lizzie Riley" Mrs. Sullivan, who had
until then been ignorant as to the last
name of her rival, saw chance to con-
vince her husband that she knew what
she was talking about when she accused
him of being inconstant, and at the same
time do him service. Accordingly,
she sent the following note: az am ar
rested. My fine will be between ten
and twenty dollars. Come to the Cen
trail Police-station at eight o'clock to-
morrow morning. Tom" In a few
minutes the answer came: "Tom, will
be there at eight with the money.
Lizzie" Mollie is now congratulating
herself on her sharp trick, which secured
the payment of Toms fine without de-
pleting her own purse.

Prince Bismarck.

1t was while Bismarck was still a
young clerk in the Berlin " Department
of Justice" that the present sovereign,
then Prince William of Prussia, first
saw the man who was one day to make
him Emperor of Germany. 1t hap
pened that a fellow-clerk, also above
six feet in height, was presented along
with him; and the Prince, looking with
an appreciative smile at the two young
giants, remarked pleasantly, az see.
gentlemen, that Justice chooses her
servants by the standard of the Guard y
meanor, and his naughty intolerance of
anything approaching to slight, speed
lily made him conspicuous in the serv-
ice. One may still hear some elderly
Prussian official relate admiringly how,
when superior to whom Bismarck was
reporting, went to the window and
drummed on the glass with his fingers,
the latter retorted by walking to the
other window and striking up still
louder tune upon it; or how, when
curtly asked by the same magnate. after
being kept waiting for an hour, what he
wanted, Bismarck replied, 81 came to
ask for leave, but now I request my
dismissal" On another occasion, the
cool efrontery of a witness whose state.
ment Bismarck was taking down, pro.
voked him to start up and exclaim, &c II
you can't behave properly I'll kick you
out of the room" Turning a man
| out of the room is my affair."" interposed
the chief of the department. "You
| hearf" said Bismarck to the witness
eff you don't behave properly, I'll
make my chief kick you out.''
This Characteristic disregard of con
sequences was even more strikingly ex
hibited few days later, when one ot
the habitues of a well-known beer sa
loon began to speak disrespectfully o.
the reigning family. Bismarck, wht
was present, at once broke in with
"Leave the room, fellow! If you ar,
not gone before this glass is empty, II
break it over your head" A Babel O
outcries instantly burst forth, but tn
unmoved Count quietly drained hi
glass, and then brought it down SO Wig
orously on the offenders pate as amp1,
to make good his words. AS the maj
rolled bleeding under the table, Bis
marck leaned back in his chair an
coolly inquired, "How much for tn
broken plass, waiter?"

sleep-the first had in twenty-four hours
and in response to my inquiry as to what was

she had lust discovered a house in the i'm

fire of the terrible f9ser slowly but surely
consuming her young life, while the mother,
