The Shenandoah.

Everybody has heard of the Shenan-
doah, the notorious privateer of the
Southerners, in the American civil war,
but I do not suppose that many know
what was the ultimate fate of the ship
when the war ended. Of all places in
the world she now lies fathoms deep"
off the island of Socotra, in the Arabian
gulf. Her story is strange one. She
was busy burning whalers in Behring
strait when Waddell, her commander,
the mildest-mannered man who ever
scuttled ship or cut throat, heard of
the collapse of the South. His occu-
patton being gone, and being without
home Or harbor to which he burst with
safety return, he ran the Shenandoah
to Liverpool and Immediately surren-
dered her to her Majesty's ship Done
gal, in the Mersey She was handed
over to the American Consul and after
ward bought at auction by Nicol, Flem-
ing & Goa firm that has earned ano-
toriety in connection with the failure of
the City of Glasgow Bank-for the Sui
tan of Zanzibar. After remaining idly
at Zanzibar for some years she was sent
to Bombay for repairs, but foundered
off Socotra, all hands being lost
except one Englishman and few Las
cars.-Lo71do7a World.

An Enraged Female.

Household Departments are very
good adJuncts to a newspaper in their
way, when edited by a woman, but the
male journalist who dabbles with the
heaven-inspired mysteries of cooking
runs a frightful risk. The editor of the
Weekly PetaIuna Peauiae started a
column of that kind recently, and few
days afterwards fierce-looking female
came into the Office, carefully concealing
some object behind her apron.

A Lovers Tragedy.

One Bell, young man, SHOT and killed
bis sweetheart at Gibson, Iowa, on the 9TH

from Traer fell in love with Miss Roberts,
which was partially reciprocated. She

mail on the cars. He opened it, aud read a
very pressing invitation to the preacher to
come and see her. Frenzied with jealousy,
Bell invited the girl to take q walk with
him, and telegraphed Receiver Morrill, to
send man to take his place. He shot the
girl through the heart and then shot him.

look at the picture of the old shoemaker

hands after We had bathed her and laid
her between the cool, white sheets We
had brought will keep them fair SO long
as we live. Z" My old woman has worked
very hard all her life, and | am afraid
she can't get over this fever" the old
husband said to us. But she did not
die. God had something harder for her
to do. On the third day of her conva-
lescence we heard that the old shoe
maker had fallen victim to the fever
and had been taken to the hospital. He
never came back. And this is what God
had for the old wife to do that was
harder than dying-to live and hear,
"He died last night; he will be buried in
the Potter's field to-day, and you can
not see him because you are too weak to
walk" Oh! if it is hard for us TO give
our dead with all the comfort of the last
word, the last look and the last clinging
kiss, and the knowledge that the dear
form is clothed in fair garments and will
be laid away by reverent hands in con-
secrated ground, what must have been
the agony of the lonely old soul as
she sat with bowed head. "He will be
buried in the poor field to-day, and
cannot see him. Do you think they will
be rough with him?" I heard her say to

him away decently? Oh, if my old
knees were strong enough for me to crawl
to his side, so that / could put my hand
in his once more, / think I weuld be
more reconciled to give him up. We

A horrible accident occurred at the roll

William Raleigh, water boy, was standing
in front of the rolls through which bar OF
red hot iron was being run. When the iron
is at its proper heat the bar is very pliable,
but by becoming chilled it takes all sorts of
fantastic forms, and flies and twists about in
every direction. This bar wrapped itself
about the boy and encircled him in it's
folds, literally burning his body in two.
1t was some minutes before he could be e1-
tricated. Meanwhile the iron was soaring
his flesh, causing the most horrible cries of
agony from the helpless sufferer. In few
moments after he had been released by
tongs and pincers by the workmen who
could reach him, he breathed his last in
terrible agony. His clothing was COM
pletely burned from his body, which pre-
scented most sickening spectacle.
