A Brave Child Scalded to Death.

Harry Evans, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Evans, bright little fellow
about two and half years of age, in
sportive glee bid his mother and little
sister good-by, said that he would get
upon his rocking-horse and take ride
to Sonora, and while backing his way
into an adjoining room fell into vessel
of nearly boiling water which had been
prepared for scrubbing the floor.
The screams of the poor child quick
ly brought his terror-stricken mother to
the scene, but too late-the work was
done. On removing the clothing he
was found to be SO badly scalded that
every remedy proved of no avail, the
flesh nearly cleaving from the bones.
After about six hours of great suffering
death came to his relief. To brace
himself under his terrible agonies, the
little fellow ut short intervals would eX-
claim:
- am papa's little man"
The coffin containing his remains was
placed in metallic box and buried UNI
der a shady oak-little Harry favorite

where he was born. -TuOlumne (CdL. J

THE GIRL WHO SAVED THE GEN.
ERAL.

Far down the Carolina coast lies the
lovely island of st. John, where stood,
one hundred years ago, noble brick
built mansion, with lofty portico and
broad piazza.
1t was the home of Mr.. Robert Gibbes
and his beautiful young wife, and the
great house was full at all seasons.
Eight children had already come to this
good couple, and seven little adopted
cousins were their playmates-the or
phan children of Mrs. Fenwick, sister
to MIR. Gibbes. He himself was a Grip
pie and could not walk. In a chair
which ran on wheels he was drawn
daily over the pleasant paths, some
times by the faithful black servants,
sometimes by the still more devoted
children, who tugged at the rope like
so many frisky colts. The loneliness
of the spot suited well its name of
% Peaceful Retreat" by which it was
known through all the country.
But in those troublous times it could
not always remain peaceful. In the
spring of 1879, the British took possess
sion of all the sea-board. Gen. Provost
marched up from Savannah and laid
siege to Charleston. But hearing that
Gen. Lincoln was Fastening on with
his army, he struck his tents in the
night, and retreated rapidly toward
Savannah. He crossed the Stone Ferry,
and fortified himself on Johns Island,
as the island of st. John was often
called.
For weeks now the noise of musketry
and heavy guns destroyed the quiet Joy
at Peaceful Retreat" The children,
in the midst of play, would hear the
still and pale. The eldest daughter,
Mary Ann, was sprightly, courageous
girl of thirteen. She had the care of
all the little ones, for her mother s
hands were full, in managing the great
estate and caring for her husband.
After a time, the enemy determined
to take possession of this beautiful
place. A body of British and Hessians
quietly captured the landing one mid
night, and, creeping stealthily onward,
| filled the park and surrounded the
house. AT daybreak, the inmates found
themselves prisoners.
Then came trying days for the fami-
ly. The officers took up their quar-
tiers in the mansion, allowing the fami-
ly to occupy the upper story.
Johns Island was less than thirty
miles from Charleston, and when the
American officers in the city heard that
Peaceful Retreat had been captured
by the British, they determined to res
cue it from the enemy. Two large gal
leys were Immediately manned anC
equipped and sent to the plantation
with strict orders not to fire upon the
mansion.
Sailing noiselessly up the Stone River
at dead of night, the vessels anchored
abreast the plantation. Suddenly, on
of the thick darkness burst flame ant
roar, and the shot came crashing

Alfred's Clock.

In the life of Alfred the Great, by
Asserius, we read that, before the in
vention of clocks, Alfred caused six
tapers to be made for his daily use;
each taper, containing twelve penny
weights of wax, was twelve inches long,
and of proportionate breadth. The
whole length was divided into twelve
parts, or inches, of which three would
burn for one hour, so that each taper
would be consumed in four hours; and
the six tapers, being lighted one after
the other, lasted for twenty -four hours.
But the wind blowing through the win
dows and doors, and chinks of the
wall of the chapel, or through the
cloth of his tent, in which they were
burning, wasted these tapers, and, con-
sequently, they burnt with no regular
ity; he therefore designed lantern
made of OK or COW horn, cut into thin
plates, in which he inclosed the tapers;
and thus protecting them from the
wind, the period of their burning be-
came matter of certainty.

crashing to the EARTH A cannon-ball
plunged into the ground close beside
her. cast over her heap of mud, and
threw her down. She sprang up and
pressed on with redoubled vigor. Not
even that ball could make her turn
back.
She reached the house. She ran to
the room where the little child usually
slept. The bed was empty Distract
ed she flew from chamber to chamber.
Suddenly she remembered that this
night he had been given to another
nurse. Up into the third story she hur-
ried, and, as she pushed open the door,
the little fellow, sittingup in bed, cooed
to her and put out his hands.
With tears raining down her cheeks,
Mary wrapped the babe warmly and
started down stairs. Out into the dark
ness once more; onward with her preci-
Gus burden, through cannon-roar,
through shot and shell! Three times
she passed through this iron storm.
The balls still swept the forest; the ter
rifle booming filled the air.
With the child pressed tightly to her
brave young heart, she fled on. She
neither stumbled nor fell. The shot
threw the dirt in her face, and showered
the twigs down upon her head. But
she was not struck. In safety she
reached the hut, and fell exhausted
across the threshold.
And the little boy thus saved by a
girl brave devotion, afterward became

MOSS-ROSES.

White with the whiteness of the snow,
Pink with the faintest rosy glow,
They blossom ON their sprays;
They glad the borders with their bloom,
And sweeten with their rich perfume
The messy garden ways.
The dew that from their trimming leaves
Drips down. the mignonette receives,
And sweeter grows thereby;
The tall June lilies stand anear.
In raiment white and gold, and here
The purple pansies lie.
Warm sunshine glitters over all,
On daisled sward and ivied wall,
On lilly, pansy, rose;
While fitting round each garden bed,
With joyous laugh and airy tread,
fairer sunbeam goes.
A little human blossom, bright
With childish. innocent delight
OF life vet in its dawn;
With sunshine prisoned in her hair,
Deep eyes unshadowed by care,
She gambols on the lawn.
She checks the light, elastic tread,
And stays to hear, far overhead,
The lark song to its close;
Eyes shaded by two tiny hands
We pray God bless her as she stands,
Our little daughter Rose.
Yes. bless the Rose, dear God since We
Have given the Lily back to Thee,
That bloomed with her awhile;
Yea. bless her deeply, doubly now,
For her dear sake, whose angel brow
Reflects Thine awful smile.
How often in her childish face,
Our hungry, longing eyes can trace
The looks of one away;
How often in her merry tone
A music wakes, more sad than moan,
OF accents hushed for aye!
God bless the child to blossom here,
Our chnging, human hearts to cheer,
Till life has reached its close;
To grow in sweetest grace and bloom,
To beautify the dear old home,
Our precious daughter Rose!

RcndU to Pan.

The GLOBE has the authority of MIR. J. X.
Side, president of the First National bank, and
Col William S. King for the statement that
the Northwestern Agricultural and Mechanical
association will to-day be ready to pay all Just
claims and accounts against that corporation.
This would have been the fact six weeks ago
except for some slight technical obstruction,
which will to-day be happily removed. and the
strong box will be opened to the tired creditors,
who have waited thus far in vain for the pay
ment of their just claims.
The GLOBE Is most happy to be able to make
this announcement on the personal word of a
gentleman well and favorably known in
financial circles as Mr.. j. K. Sidle. the presi-
dent of the First National bank. Mr.. Sidle is
business" and like all presidents of national
banks, never makes promises which he does not
intend to fulfill. Those holding obligations
against the Northwestern Agricultural and
Mechanical association may therefore present
them at the counter of the First
National bank with some slight assurance that
they will be paid in full.
''Alps well that ends well.'' The GLOBE will
in few days announce what the future in
tention of the association is as 10 an exposition

Mar! OtC Gauge RuiJyOuHs,

Another meeting was held at the council
chamber last night for the purpose of discuss
ing the propriety of issuing bonds for the con-
struction of system of Narrow gauge rail
roads. The GLOBE man was not in attendance
but learned incidentally that there was some
show of opposition to the scheme, at any rate,
unless the men who own real estate and whose
fortunes invested in the city, shall
first come forward and plank down.
an amount equivalent to that
which they ask the city to pay. Doubtless q
system OF narrow gauge railroads, with arms
extending northerly and westerly from this
city, would be d good thing for the city, but
doubtless also it will be best for those whose
interests are greatest; and there Is a very gen.
eral sentiment among the citizens that Mime
apolis is already burdened with about as much
bonded indebtedness as the community can
stand. Especially is this sentiment developing
among the working classes who are small tax
payers, and the GLOBE learns that it found
mouth pieces at the meeting last night.
Would it not be well for the leading citi-
zens" who have been engaged in working up
the matter IN small private gatherings, to call
q public meeting and allow full and free dis
cussion of the scheme before all classes Of our
people? Nothing is gained by secrecy in this
matter-and, indeed there is no longer any Sc
crecy about 1t, as it is openly discussed on the
street corners every day.

the people ought to know it, and if it is good

The Naiad Queen.

The houses at the presentation of the Naiad
Queen are on the increase. Last night the
Academy Of Music was full to OVERLOOKING, and
the probability is that from this time forward
the seating capacity of the Academy will be
fully tested to furnish room for the multitudes
who will seek admission. The simple truth is,
that this beautiful operetta is the most mag
niicent spectacular piece ever presented in
Minneapolis, and those who miss seeing it
will have to regret it to the
last day of their life The piece
is one beautiful succession of pictures and
tableaux, combined with the most delicious
music from the finest talent in Minneapolis.
From beginning to end the attention of the
spectator is held enraptured by the delicious
harmony of sweet sounds and delightful pic
lures. One glance at the beautiful and elabo-
rate costumes alone is full return for the price
of admission. 1t will be advisable to secure
reserved seats early during the remainder of
the week, as the fame of the beautiful spectacle
has gone abroad, and the rush will probably be
