Supposed Suicide.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, July l4.-Phillip
Best, nephew OF Phillip Best Of the Mil
waukee Brewing Company, and cashier
of branch concern located here some
months since, disappeared mysteriOusly
last night, inducing the belief that he
has suicided. When last seen he was
on Broadway at Third street, going
toward the river. A diligent search to-
day failed to give any clue to his where
abouts. and persons best acquainted
with him state they have little doubt he
is at the bottom of the river. The only
reason given for the rash act is report
ed discrepancy in his accounts at Mil
waukee.

Adventures of Two Babes.

Two babes in the woods have been
succored by an Empress ana Marquis.
One cold day last December they knock
ed at the door OF the Spanish Consulate
in London. Their name was Nunez;
one was a boy OF fifteen. the other a girl
Of seven; and they had baby brother.
Their father had died, and while they
we're living IN TunIs they mad lost their
mother. They mad been told that they
had an uncle in q monastery near Lei
Cester IN England, and they set out from
Africa to find him. From Tunis they
went to Malta and thence to Marseilles
and Paris, where their money gave out.
They were alone in Paris-the lad, his
sister, and the baby. The little one
was sick, and although they received
assistance from some Ursuline Nuns ne
faded, and dropped and died. With sad
hearts but buoyant spirits the two chill
dren went on their way to ind their
uncle. They walked from Paris to Ca
lais, begging their bread, ana some Kind
soul paid their way across the Straits to
Dover. They pawned what Jewelry they
had and what clothing they could spare,
and managed to reach Gharing Cross,
London. They had no money they were
hungry. They saw some Italian girls
playing an organ in the street, and ask
ed them to tell them where they cOald
sleep. The street musicians took them
to their garret, and the next morning
the wanderers found their way TO the
Italian COnsuL-Generat He gave them
the money they required for their jour-
ney to Leicester, strictly requiring OF
them that, upon their arrival, their an
Gle should write ana acquaint MIN OF the
fact. Several days elapsed, and, as no
news had been received, the Consul
General himself addressed letter to the
chief of the religious Institution, who
replied that the children had arrived,
but that no relative OF theirs was known
in the establishment. What had taken
place Was brought to the notice Of the
Empress Eugene, who was deeply
moved at the recital, and put forward
her claim that the girl should be IN
trusted to her care to De educated nd
future assured to her. The Marquis de
Casa Laiglesia mas taken charge OF the
fortunes OF the boy.

An Accidental Marine Picture.

The frOst-work representation On the
window-pane of trees, castles, land
scapes, and common scenes-fsmiiiar
phenomena as they are-atwavs excite
wonder, and often caIse one to rOnder
on the mysterious chance which makes
these pictures in the regular outline OF a
careful design. But the ephemeral
frost is not the only material employed
by the unseen artist, as witness a marine
view on wood which can be seen at
Calvin Hervey's jewelry- y-store. 1t looks
like an old oil painting; no one would
for a moment suppose that it was
chance picture, but such it really Is.
1t was discovered recently by MIR. Her
vev when he had the partitions remov-
ed from drawer which he has used to
keep tools in for twenty-five years. The
scratching of the implements as they
ratified around in the drawer, the action
of the oil which mingled with the rust
turned green, the dust ana CRIME of
quarter of a century, all had combined
to paint on these pine board partitions
a tOlerablv good sketch, in dull cOlors,
of the ocean with three vessels sailing
on its bosom, and in the distance head
land with a lighthouse. Mr.. Hervey
has had the picture framed in gilt, and
it hangs over his repairing bench, ready
for the close inspection of doubtful
Thomases, or any one else.-BeJtGSt
