;. Child Heroism.

The London papers record an extraor-
dinary exhibition of heroism by little
girl only three and one-haf years old.
She and her sister were playing in their
fathers garden, close to the river Mon
NOV, at Monmouth. The younger child
was running after the elder when the lat
ter fell headlong down some steps into
the river, where the water was~deeper
than usual, owing to the recent storm.
Seeing her sister carried down the
stream, the younger girl plunged in to
the rescue and seized her by the hat and
hair. She-@held on, but the stream
swept her sister beneath bridge, her
hat and quantity of hair being left in
the little ones hand. The younger
child then managed to get ashore, and,
running home, gave the alarm. a num-
Der of persons hurried to the spot just in
time to recue the girl, in shallow waite,
below the bridge, before the stream cur
ried her away, 81 i" - D.

A Marine Cemetery,

The British Channel between Dover
and Dungeness is in a dangerous state
from sunken wrecks. The Spanish
steamer Lavonia, sunk five miles east of
Folkstone in February, 1875, is now ~
ing in dangerous position; the Strath-
clyde is now lying two miles south of
Dover, with the sunken ship Harbinger
on top Of her; the great German ironclad
the Grosser Kurfurst is still under water
four miles southwest of Folkstone; the
German passenger ship Pomerania, six
miles southeast of Folkstone, as well as
great many other wrecks Particular
and constant complaint will be made of
the danger caused by the Grosser Kur-
furst, lying on her broadside in the track
of all large ships, in fourteen fathoms of
water, leaving only twenty -four feet Of
water, and being especially perilous to
British ironclads. The Pomerania sits
upright in an equally dangerous posi-
tiou, and the Bokhara is very little un-
der water. ~.

Love for a Wife.

The deep affection felt by President
Andrew Jackson for his wife is illus
trated by an incident related by the late
Nicholas P. Trist, his private secretary.
One evening, writes Mr.. Trist, after I
had parted with him for the night, re.
volving over the directions he had given
me about some letters was to prepare,
one point occurred to me on which I was
not perfectly satisfied as to what those
directions had been. AS the letters were
to be sent off early next morning, I re-
turned to his chamber door, and, tapping
gently in order not to wake him if be
had gone to sleep, my tap was answered
by come in. He was sitting at little
table with his wife's miniatrlre-a very
large one, then for the first time seen by
me--before him propped up against
some books which bore the marks Of
long use. This book, as I afterwards
learned, was his prayer book. The
miniature he always wore next his heart,
suspended around his neck by strong
black cord. The last thing he did every
night before lying down to rest was to
read in that book with that picture under
his eyes.

The old couple supposed to be Bender and
wife arrived at Oswego, Kansas, ON the 9th
! inst. and were exposed in the court house for
some hours without being identified as the real
criminals. They refused to give any reason for
assuming that they knew SO much about the
noted butchers and their Preparations, and no
motive for such action has yet shown ITSELF In
all their talk and would-be confessions both
man and woman have told the same story, and it
was so near the actual truth that the sheriff
who brought the prisoners from Nebraska
thought he had the right parties. There was
great excitement over the matter at Oswego
upon tie arrival of the prisoners. The frauds
were given q preliminary examination on the
10th inst, and promptly discharged.
The Census.
It is estimated that at least three years will
be required to complete the entire compilation
of the census. Within the past few days q
large number of persons OF 10th sexes have re-
ceived appointments in the census Office at
Washington, and many more are yet to be ap-
pointed. The pressure brought upon General
Walker for place has been tremendous, but few
of the more recent appointed receive more than
5000 per year. The demand for Office was so
great that General Walker found that he could
get competent clerks at R720, $3.50 and even for
S400 per year. The annex to the census Office
building, put up to accommodate the clerical
force, will be completed in few days, and then
the Office viii Ee thoroughly organized. 1t will
be some time before Commissioner Walker will
be ready to issue special figures of population.
etc. After the first review and computation is
made it is objected to two revisions and until
such rcvisions a,c made, the data are not con-
si.!crcd accurate.
