We wandered although the sad, silent

a surprise when she left her girlhood's
home. The pretty Eleneor is buried long
ago. All traces of her pink and white
beauty has lett the earth; here stands the
dusty harpsicord, brought back by
strange hands to her old home. The
room that interests me most is the tiny
attic chamber where the devoted widow
passed her days after her husbands death.
The large chamber below was closed
after his decease.
None entered it from that time on. "A

II IhongiltI 1t Was Mothers Voice.

A friend told me not long ago beauti-
full story about kind words. A good
lady, living in one of our large cities, was
passing drinking saloon Just as the
keeper was thrusting a young man out
intogthe street. He was very yong and
very pale, out his haggard face and wild
eyes told that he was very far gone in the
road of ruin, as with oaths he brandished
his c.enched fists, threatening to be re-
ivenged upon the man who SO ill-used
him. This poor young man was so ex-
cited and blinded with passion, that he
did not see the lady who stood very lear
to him, until she laid her hand upon his
arm, and spoke in her gentle, loving
voice, asking him what was the matter.
At the Erst kind word the young man
started af if a heavy blow had struck him,
and turned quickly round, paler than be-
fore, and trembling from head to foot.
He surveyed the lady for moment, and
then with a sigh of relief, he said:
J u thought it was my mothers voice,
it sounded SO strangely like it! But her
voice has been hushed in death for many
years."
''You had a mother then,'' said the lady,
"and she loved youS'
sl With that sudden revulsion of telling,
which often comes to people Of fine nerv
GUS temperaments, the young man burst
into tears. sobbing out. "Oh yes, l had an
angel mother, and she loved her boy But
since she died, all the world has been
against me, and I am lost? lost to good
society, lost to honor, lost to decency, and
lost torever!'
mo, not lost forever; for God is merci-
ful, and His plying love can reach the
chief Of sinners said the lady, in her low,
sweet voice; and the timely words swept
the hidden chords Of feeling which had
been long untouched in the young mans
heart, thrilling 1t with magic power, and
Weakening a host of tender emotions,
which had been buried very deep beneath
the rubbish of sin and crime.
Years glided by, and the gentle lady
had quite orgotten the incident we have
related, when one day a stranger sent up
his card, and desired to speak with her.
Wondering much who it could be, she
went down to the palor, where she found
a noble Stocking, well-dressed man, who
rose deferentially to meet her. Holding
out his hand, lie said
% PARDON me, mad am, for this intrusion
but have come many miles to thank you
for the great service you rendered me- a
few years ago" said he, in a trembling
voice
The lady was puzzled, and asked for
an explanation, as she did not remember
ever having seen the gentleman before.

Sank In FIVE Minutes.

The German squadron, consisting Of
three iron clads, the Prussen, Grosser Kurfurs,
aud Koenig WILHELM passed Dover at $40
A. NJ. on the 31st ult,, bound for Plymouth
whence it was 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 gradually keeling over on
her beam ends and men we're seen crowding
on her bulwarks. In about five minutes the
vessel went down on her side, her boilers
blowing up as she sank. Boats from the other
iron clads were launched and a number of
Folkestone fishing smacks near, by hurried to
the scene. It is hoped many lives were saved
The Folkestone life boat was launched, but

The Streets 81 Paris.

e Ihesstreets of Paris are marvel of
cleanliness. We have had to-day several
heavy showers of rain. No sooner had
the rain ceased falling than men appear
ed upon all the boulevards to sweep off
the water and dry them up as Quick as
possible. On those laid with asphaltum
they were armed with gutta percha scrap
ers, which enabled them to remove the
water to the cutters. When the road
way was of Belgian blocks they had
horse brushes at work, and where thew
were macadamized they used rattan
brushes. In an hour they were all dry.
as the sun came out warm after every
shower. Neither dust nor water is allow
ed TO remain on the streets, and suchsa
thing as mud is never to be found in any
part of Paris. There are,no letter-boxes
on the streets of Paris except in the win
dows of the stores where cigars and
stamps are Sold,
Cigars are Government monopoly
and are sold, as are postage stamps, by
regularly-appointed agents, they receiy-
ing small commission. The Govern
ment cigars are sold in bundles of twenty
i've; put up in envelopes and stamr-
ed at the Government factories. Havana
cigars which have paid the regular duty
are sold in all the cafes, but domestic CT
CARS are only sold by Government agents.
Parls axcels all other cities in the world
in the management of its municipal af-
fairs. It is far better lighted, better
cleaned, better, supplied with sewers,
markets, parks and everything tending to
make lie pleasant, agreeable, convenient
and safer than any American, or, indeed,
any other large European city. Tie idea
which was SO. generally entertained that
he superb ordering of Paris was due to
the unlimited power which Napoleon and
Baron Haussman possessed has been ex-
ploded. The Improvements are just as
numerous, and the magnifcence quite as
thoroughly kept up under the Republi-
can regime. The people are soundly taxed,
but they know that the money is we'll

Train Robbers.

On the 10th ult., a party OF masked
men boarded a west-bound Union Pacific pas
senger train, just after it left Percy station, en-
tered the middle sleeping car, and proceeded
to rob the passengers, They took a watch
and one hundred dollars from one passenger
fifty dollars and tickets from another, a gold
watch and thirty-fve dollars from the sleeping
car conductor. At that time some one pulled
the bell cord, and the robbers becoming fright:
enedjumped off. They fired three shots in the
sleeper without injury to the passengers.
They struck one passenger with pistol, cut
ting the scalp some. 1t was all done in three
minutes, and the robbers were out of sight in
the darkness before the train stopped. The
ground being wet their trail was discovered
at daylight next morning, and large force of
armed men started in pursuit. The Union
