 ''Some of ithem-those that are specially worthy of remembrance. Why?"
 "Do you remember bright young man of the name of [say] Simpson"
 Certainly"
 "Well, think you had better look after him little; he's getting into bad ways-he drinks too much, and is noticeable for his enc = nous self-consciousness."

The n Smith of Richf cid is sel . sufficient sort of old fellow and brides himself upon his ridiug abilities One day he espied his young hopeful leading colt to water rather s 'ngerly, and remarked: .Why on earth don't you ride that beast ?" ''I'm 'fraid to 'traid he'll throw me-" Bring that hoss here," snapped the old man. The colt was urged up to the fence, and braced on one side by the boy, while the old man climbed on to the rails and stocked himself on the colts back. Then he was let go, and the old gentle man rode proudly off. Paralyzed by fear, the colt went slowly for about twenty rods without a demonstration. Then like lightning his four legs punched together, his back bow ed like a viaduct arch, and the old man shot up in the air, turned seven separate and distinct somersets and lit on the small of his back in the middle of the road with both legs twisted around his neck. 'Hastening to him the yourg hopeful anxiously inquired: "Did it hurt you, pal" The old man rose slowly, shook out the knots in his legs, brushed the dust from his ears and hair and rubbing his bruised elbows, growled: ''Well, it didn't do me dr n bit of good You go home."

What Heavy Loser Said About

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November TO-
John G. Bullitt, the largest individual
property owner III Cape May, owning
iarge amounts OF stocks in the various
hotels, as well as lands, and also. prob
ably the heaviest loser Of Yesterday :
contiapration, talked to-day about the
iuturc. Said he: property owners
have hardly had time to recover from
the blow as vet. Cape May Is one OF
the great watering places OF the country,
and has been growing rapidly in popu-
lation wear after year Last season was
the most successful in point of the num-
her of visitors ever known in its history;
therefore, it is hardly probable that any
calamity, even as serious as tins has
been, will prevent the present proper
ty-ownerS. or other cnterprislng men,
from rebuilding or investing thelr
money on the island. To he sure, the
loss in proportion TO the aggregate
amount OF money invested is immense.
From a rough estimate, formed from a
comparativelv brief visit Yesterday,
would set the loss down at fully 500,
900. OF this about fifty per cent, Will
be saved Nv insurance.. - NN'Il wv
present owners will have that much TO
begin operations on during the winter;
| hardly think that the INSURANCE" will
reach S4OO.OOO but am we'll satisfied 1t
j. over 500, 900. Then again YOU must
remember that the largest hotel on the
island. The Stockton, still remains
intact. and there are the Arctic, Chal,,
fontc. United States, Nationa! and
many private boarding-houScs. These
will accommodate great many guests,
and with the hotels which are almost
certain to be rebuilt. ,MrCray, OF the
Center. saws he will start at once the
regular Cape May hahitues need not
fear but that there will bc ample shelter
inr the season ct 1879. Take it all in all
think Cape May has had Il temporary
setback, and that Is All. OF course next
year will not see at many hotels, ana
probably not - lar-r and commodious,
but take il that they will be better
builtan have Il greater proportion "i

YELLOW FEVER EPISODE.
A Sad Story.

NEWPORT, X. l., November l0.-A sad
story of the recent yellow fever sCOurge
i'll the South has just come to light. \
few evenings ago well-drcssed babe
about one year old was left on the door
steps OF q well-to-do citizen, Mr.. New
comb, oil Providence, who found it there
upon answering sharp ring OF the door
bell. 1t had tiny gold ring on its finger
and q gold necklace, with gold dollar
attached, around its neck. BY the side
of the infant a girl was 4 complete out
fit of richly-trlmmed clothes. \ letter
was alSo found in which the hcart-brokcn
mother, who had leftit there, stated that
she had lost her father, mother, brother.
husband and three children by the yell
low fever in New Orleans, and that she
fled to Cairo to escape the plague with
her baby; that both were attacked with
fever i'll that place, and recovered,
though the writer felt as though she was
losing her memory, and no doubt would
soon be 4 raying maniac. 1t appeared
she had known Mr. NcwComb and his
family, and in the letter she stated that
fearing she would lose her identity, she
had made up her mind To give them the
baby, as she knew they would be good
TO it. She urged them not to look her
up, as she was going to New York on the
midnight train, there tOdic unknown"
She signed herself "NrS. Josie Hall"
Mr.. Newcomb was greatly affected. Tor
he had known the lady's family, who, he
said, stood high in the South, Mrs. Hall
being beautiful and accomplished lady.
4 letter was received from her the follow
ing dav, dated Providence, she having
written ii before leaving the city, which
simply gave instructions for the care of
her offspring. Two days after the receipt
of this letter telegram was received by
Mr.. NewcOmb from Boston, stating that
Mrs. Hall was in dying condition NJ
a hotel in that city. He Immediately
started for Boston, and arrived in season
To receive the dying woman'S instruc-
tons. She begged him to be good to her
child, and to send her body to New Or
leaus for interment. She left some money
to pay her funeral expenses, and also
some for the care OF the child. The re-
mains were forwarded to New Orleans.
\ letter received from the latter city
throws some additional light on the sad
affair. Mrs. Hall il appears, while de
ranged with grief, had fled from the city
in her fathers carriage, accompanied by
the faithful coachman, and went To
Cairo where the coaNhman died. After
her arrival there her uncle and aunt also
died. She Immediately left Cairo and
fled North.
The babe will be tenderly cared for,
and the mothers instructions will be
faithf fully carried ont
