FIELDS OF IOE.
ENORMOUS MASSES or ICE DRIFTING IN
THE TRACK or ATLANTIC STEAMERS.

The New York Herald says: 1t would
certainly seem o. il tho North Pole had
gone afloat in IN incredible number of
pieces, for when the ocean ships ore not
busy humping one another the entire
spare time OF their officers is spent in
playing tag with pieces Office. Now, to
play tag with q piece Of ice which takes
up two-thirds ofa tumble of a refreshing
beverage and taps you on the nose from
time to time is ono thing but to stand
on the deck Of q ship and be chased
around by lump of ice four hundred
feet high and aGuartor of q mile thick
at the base is another thing altogether.
While many, if indeed, not all, officers
of ocean-golng craft have been more or
less familiar with the first sort Of thing,
it has been reserved for this summer to
make them acquainted, more or less
familiarity With the second. Every
Ship almost that enters our port has q
story oi iCobeggs encountered in all sorts
of places and under all sorts Of cond-
ton. Of COURSE, while it may be all
right for'such ships as the Arizona and
the British man-of-wav Flamingo to butt
them, it is not considered the proper
thing by the'ayerage owner of the aver
age ship. The result of all this is that
ship-masters and ship-owners are more
or less excited, and the retiring and
sensitive ice merchant inwardly quakes
lest one Of these Jumps should find its
way into our harbor, The steamship
Plantyn, which arrived yesterday,
reports some extraordinary bergs, which
seemed to be moving this way. She
was thirteen days from Antwerp, with
merchandise. Captain Falk, who COM
mands her, tells Of icebergs that seemed
detcrln lned TO eaten MIN, nOtW'th'
standing no distinctly ntimated that
he did not want to play. They would
not give up, however, and on the 10th
they made it decidedly unpleasant by
crowding arounL in large numbers
Some OF the matured ones were over 400
feet high, and lowered above the masts
Of tho ship as Trinity spire towers above
the umbrella stick on Wall street
stage. They came very near catching
him, but . fog set in, and Captain Falk
stopped the engines from 8 O'Clock in the
evening until2 in the morning, when by
adroit managem ment Le escaped. The
Plantyn sustained no damage Of any
kind:

Florence Mosby's Flight.
THE UNHAPPY LOT or CONFEDERATE
GENERALS DAUGHTER.
New York Herald.i


The account Of the mysterious disap-
pearance of Florence Mostly from her
residence, i'll st. Marks place, which
the Herald published nearly two months
ago, excited considerable attention, es-
pecially as the story was substantiated
by the following:
A NY PERSON RETURNING FLORENCE
n Mosby, or Moseby, to the house in st.
Mark place, from which she has been missing
since the 18th inst, will be literally rewarded
The above paragraph appeared in the
advertising columns Of tho Herald on
the oath of April last, and investga-
tions made since that date reveal a
story which presents some remarkable
points and illustrates il phase of life
which is III some respects almost with
out a parallel The facts, cleaned from
various sources, are substantially as
follows: Florence Mosby, girl about
lG years of age, was reported missing to
Superintendent Walling on the fith OF
April by Mrs. Smith, of No. 81 st. Mark S
place, 1t was intimated that Miss Mos
by was the daughter of General Mosby,
the famous Confederate soldier, who is
at present the American Consul at Hong
Kong, The statement made to the po-
lice is that she was ward of Mrs.
Camp, who lives at Somers, n. y. The
girl had been making visit of several
days at the house of Mrs. Smith, and on
the day before, April IS, had
MYSTERlOUsLY DISAPPEARED
from the place, without leaving any
clue by which her whereabouts could be
| learned. After hearing Mrs. Smiths
Louisiana capitolian., 1880-07-10

1t is expected that considerable time
will eIapse before tho girls relationship
to General Mosby can be established, on
account Of the difficulty in communicat-
ing with him ct so great Q distance.

What Boys Should 30.

First-Be true; be genuine. No
education is worth anything that does
not include this. A man had better
not know how to read-he had better
never learn letter Of the alphabet,
and be true and genuine in Intention
and Ill action, rather than being
learned in all science and in all Ian
guages, to be at the same time false
in heart and ,ountarfcit in life. Above
al things teach the boys that truth Is
more than riches, more than culture,
more than earthly power or position.
Second-Be pure in thought, Ian
guage-pure i'll mind and body. An
impure man, young or Old, poisoning
the society where lie moves with bad
stories and impure examples is a moral
ulcer, a plague spot, leper who ought
to be treated as we're tho lepers CT Old,
who were to cry ''Unclean!" as a
warning to save others from the pesti,
Ience.
Third-Be unselfsh. To care fol
the feelings and comfort Of others.
To be polite. 10 be just in all deal
ing with others. To be generous, no
bic and manly. This viii include {
genuine reverence for the aged anC
, things sacred.
Fourth-Be self-reLiant and self
helpful even from early childhood. I,
be industrious always and self-suPPOrt
ing at the earliest proper age. Tescl
l them all honest work is honorable, Az
e that an idle, useless life of dependenc
on others is disgraceful.
When a boy has learned these fou
things, when he has made thes idea
a part of his be;ng-howeyer youn
t lie may be, however poor, howeve
> rich-he has learned some OF the mo.
important t,inys he ought to 10

Too Much Grammar.

The peril Of employing highly edu-
Gated young men as clerks was again
illustrated recently. A woman stopped
at a green grocer's and asked:
rs them lettuce fresh!"
you mean that lettuce" suggested
the clerk, and it is fresh"
'HThen you'd better eat i'll" she
snapped, asshe walked on.
The grocer rushed out and asked the
clerk what Oh earth had happened to
anger her, and the young man replied:
's3Yhy. nothing, only I corrected
her grammar.
''You have turned away one Of my
best customers! Only yesterday she
came IN and asked me how l sold
! those white sugar, and I got an order
for whole barrel. Hang you. sir
but if them customers want grammar
they don't expect to find her in ;
grocery! No, sir! And if you see sh'
again, you want to apologize in tn,
most hamblerest manner"

woman is soen at all times, in all kinds

George Ruff, the Provost of the bor-
ough, sent to me photograph in n
letter, in which he said she had kent
the pledge for eighteen years. CAp-
plause-) She has become godly wo-
man, and all her spare time is ex-
pended IN rescuing abandoned women.
She has gone down to the depths to
bring them up. She has taken young
girls cut Of the streets, kept them in
her own little room for a week to save
them from temptation. Now, my
friends, total abstinence could not
make that woman u Christian total
abstinence removed the hindrance to
her hearing the truth, which must be
heard to be believed, and must be be-
lieved to affect the life. When Jesus
Went to the tomb of lazarus there
was stone by the mouth of the tomb.
He could have removed it if he saw
tit, but he used human agency. They
took away the stone They rolled it
away. Jesus spokeand Lazarus came
forth. Now L believe that the total
abstinence principle is the human
agency that rolled away thestone from
the sepulehre, and incipient putrefao-
ton has trembled into life, and the
dead corpse Of drunkard has been
been found in Gods house, a living,
active, Christian man-not made So
| by temperance, but madeso by the pow
er of His grace, brought under the
influence of truth which must be heard
by the agency which l advocate M IL
remedy for the evil of drunkenness. "

You kant trust one eny more than

justed for the great occasion. She
casts much of the burden of her exis-
tence upon the too generous heart
that she does not appreciate, and Eever
once feels the impulse to give the aid
of her youthful strength.
In all our modern world there is not
an uglier sight than this, no, not one.
1t is but natural to throw the blame
of it upon the daughter. "Heartless
wretch" we have heard such a girl
called by indignant acquaintance.
She is to be pitied, rather. When
she was a little child, all lovely and
engaging, her mother said to herself:
"She shall not be the drudge I was.
She shall not be kept out of school to
do house work, as 1 was. She shah
havea good time while She is young,
for there's no knowing what her lot
may be afterwards"
And so her mother made her young
life a long banquet Of delights. Rough
places were made smooth for her; ali
difficulties were removed from her
path. The lesson taught her every
hour for years was that it was no
great matter what other people suf-
fered, if only her mothers daughter
had a good time.
She learned chat lesson thoroughly,
and frightful selfshncss was devel-
oped in her.
Her eyes may fall upon these lines.
If SO, we tell her that people in gener-
al will make no allowance for the
faults of her bringing up. They viii
merely say: ''Sce what q shocking
and shameful return she makes fer
her mothers indulgent and generous
care"

Aq.rtGult ltural.

a lady handed reporter, the
other day, slip of paper, asking
him if he would not publish it for
the benefit of the public. 1t was
found to be n simple but effective
cure for that dog-day terror, hy-
drophobia. The cure, which ex-
perience.has proved to beinfallibIo
is nothing more than the root Of a
common weed known as elecam-
paneF steeped in milk. Elecam-
pane grows in great profusion
along many country roads, in this
and Rensselaer, counties. 1t has
powerful medical qualities, and
milk is well known to be q spec
ific for many psisons. The manner
of administering the antidote will
be learned by a perusal af the fol-
lowing history Of this simple and
wonderful cure:
in Chestercounty Pennsylvania
lived Il German named Joseph
/ Emery, who used to be sent far
and wide when any body had been
bitten by rabid animal. He
went to his patient, carrying
something understood to be Il
root, which lie himself dug in the
woods. lie MIXED a pint Of milk
fresh from the COW, put the root
into it, boiled it, gave it to the
patient fasting; made him fast
after taking It; gave q second and
third dose On alternate days, and
never failed in efecting a cure.
In some way his secret transpired,
and the root vas found to bo clc-
campanc.
Tie story current in the country
| was that an old German made the
discovery in the days Of Penn, and
lrpplied TO the Pennsylvania Leg
islature for a grant of $500 fer
making his secret public. His
offer was treated with contempt,
| and he resolved that his secret
= should die with him but 4 drunken
son knew it, wrote out the recipe ,
making a number Of copies, and
; tried to sell them at 81 apiece He
@ ouIy succeeded IN selling but tw >
? one Of these to the person who
c made such effective use Of it. SO
' well did he establish the local
: reputation Of his specific that in
+ his neighborhood folks were not
/ afraid OF lned dogs. THIS nai
u never failed 70 cure or prevent
c hydrophobia. IN one case the
p spasms had begun before the irsi

The daughter sits in the parlor,
in nice clothes and elegantly arranged

Her mother is toiling in the kitchen or

She is tired! She is always tired
She is tired on Saturday, and she i

It is hard not to be angry with tn
