Practical mothers learn much by
their experience with the little bodies
entrusted to their care. Some of the
common sense facts in the physical cul-
ture of these little ones known to the

come amiss to those who have had but
little care Of children. The foundation
must be well laid to insure healthy an q
happy children. The child must be
we'll slept, well aired, well fed and we'll

and practice Of these four simple rules,
much of the physical mental and moral

is regularly put to bed about dark,
in a quiet, well ventilated, or even cold,
room, after supper Of plain food, it
will naturally awake at daybreak, good
natured, with a keen appetite for
wholesome breakfast. Nutritious, plain
food, at regular hours, with no candy or
stimulants, and free bathing, help the
system to ward off many prevalent
children's ailments, and to. bear with
much less danger the few that must
necessarily come to the majority of
little ones. The child that is just given
q little confectionery, or any unsuitable
food, then rocked to sleep should cause
no surprise at waking peevish and fever
ish. 1t is simply the result of imaginary
affection and want of knowledge on the
part of the one in charge. It will GER
tainly pay in the end to search diligently
for the cause when little child is pro-
verbally cross.

A Mississippi oyerAw,

Advlces by telegram from Quincy, ILL.,,
of June 80, state that the Suy levee, which be-
gins at a point between Quincy and Hannibal
and ends near Alton, broke at three o'clock
this morning at what is known as the Cut Or
Just above Cincinnati landing, some fifteen
miles below Hannibal. At noon the creyasse
was 500 feet wide and constantly increasing in
size. There are several other very dangerous
places in the embankment which will doubt
less give way very soon, and at this time it
seems impossible to prevent the food
ing Of vast area of fine farming land
protected by the levee. The water is now
spreading rapidly, and an area of several miles
in extent is already overlooked. It is impos-
sible to compute the immense amount of dam
age that will result FROM this flood, but it will
aggregate several hundred thousand dollars
A slight idea Of the damage may be gained
from the fact that an extent of country forty
miles long and from four to ten miles wide
was protected by the embankment. This is
probably the richest farming land in the State,
and the yield Of grain this year would be enor
NOUS. News OF the break at midnight spread
like wildtire, but it scarcely proceeded the
rushing Of the terrible food Of water. and
the excitement during the night was intense.
Families were compelled to leave their homes
in many cases with scarcely any
clothing on and flee Tor their lives
as the river at the cutoff where the creyasse
occurred is forty feet deep and the water pass
ed through In q vast volume and overwhelm-
ing force.

Napoleon and Madame Racanlier.

HOW very small and contemplate thie
great fghting-man could be, is exempli-
fed in his conduct to this lady, which
even exceeded in baseness his persecu-
ton Of Madame dc Stael The first time
his eyes fell upon her she incurred his
jealous anger. It was in the Court of the
Luxembourg on the occasion of the
great reception given him by the Direc-
tory to celebrate his Italian victories.
While Barras was delivering a. long ora
ton, she rose from her seat to obtain q
better view of the hero Of the day,
Clad in simple white, her invariable cos.
tune, her wonderful beauty Immediately
attracted all eyes, and murmur Of adj
mlration ran through the assembly.
Bonaparte glanced sharply round to ascer-
tain the cause and he saw that lovely form.
Indignant that even a woman should for
an instant distract the admiring gaze
from him, he Cast upon her a glance
SO stern that she sank back upon her
seat overwhelmed with confusion. From
that hour he became her enemy. Being
present at. the trial of General Moreau,
he demanded so angrily, What was
Madame Recamier doing there?" that
she was counseled by her friends, if
she had any regard for her safety,
not to attend q second day. Yet the.
Jealous despot was no more insensible to
her charms than were other men. 1t
was at q ball given by Lucien that she
met him for the second and last time.
She observed his eagle glance following
her every movement, and presently
Fouche came up to her and whispered in
his insolent way: Madame, le premier
Consul vous trouve charmante r. After
the supper Napoleon himself addressed
her brusquely with: 6 Why did you not
come and sit by me at supper? You
should have done so; it was your place"
The Great Mogul or the Sultan Of Tur-,
key, could scarcely have been more Mcta-
torial to a female subject. Through his
vile agent, Fouche, he made overtures to
her to take the post Of Dame du Palais.
aHe has never yet, said Sir Pandarus,
"met with a woman worthy Of him, and
nogone knows what would be the love OF
Napoleon for a pure minded Wonian !;
she would assuredly obtain an influence
over him which would be most benefi-
cent But Juliette Recamier's virtue was
proof even against the allurements OF
this modern Zenghis- K han, and she
shrank from his advances; thereby, Of
course, mourning his, deadly hatred.
which became more or less extended to
those who frequented her salons. Hear
ing that three Of his ministers had been
seen there, he demanded angrily since
when the Council had been held at
Madame Recamier's? and forbade them
thencetorth to appear there. He said
openly that he regarded as a personal
enemy every person, whether French
or foreign. who visited her.

Discovery of North America.

a Wall street broker laid wager one
day that Christopher Columbus discov-
cred the continent Of North America,
and, of course, lost it. It is surprising
how many intelligent persons entertain
the same error. Knowing that he dis
covered a number of islands in the west
ern hemisphere, they think he must of
necessity have discovered the continent
also. They forget that he died in ignor-
ance of the grandeur Of his achievement,
believing Cuba, Terra Firma and other
islands he had found, to be remote
parts of Asia. Amerigo Vespucci. after
whom North and South America is
named, did not discover this continent
properly, either. The land he discov-
cred lay near the equator, and he, too,
was deluded with the notion that it was
a portion of Asia. John Cabot was the
discoverer of North America (some sup
pose in May, 1872, which he likewise
supposed to belong to the dominions Of
the Grand Cham. He sailed along the
coast for 300 leagues, and went ashore,
without finding any human being, al
though he believed the country to be in
habited. 1t isremarkable that the three
great discoveries Of the western world
should all have been Italians Columbus
having been BORN IN Genoa, Vesplcci in
Florence, and Cabot presumably in Ven
ice. The birthplace of Cabot is uncer-
tain, as are his age and the place and
time of his death. But the fact that the
license granted him by Henry VII calls
him Kabotta, Venetian, would seem to
determine the question of his nativity.
The discoveries had sorry fortune.
Columbus, as we are aware, was treated
with the blacklist ingratitude by the
King of Spain. When officers Of the yes
sci on which he was carried, prisoner,
to Spain offered to remove his chains,
imposed upon him by royal order, he re-
piled, q will wear them as reminderof
the gratitude Of princes" He died, as
everybody knows, neglected, in extreme
poverty, Of a broken heart. Vespucci
had many trials and died poor, and
Cabot fell into such obscurity that no one
can tell how or when or where he died.
Surely the auguries attendant on the
birth CT the western world were not
favorable, and in q superstitious age
might have led to the belief that its his
tory would never be marked by good
fortune

Accident top. H. Kelly,

! P. II. Kelly, Esq, one of the merchant
princes of st. Paul, Mimi, was the victim of a
painful accident on the forenoon of July l. He
was driving up Third street, which was as
usual in crowded condition. An express
wagon stood backed up to the sidewalk in
in front of Bart Presley's fruit store aud Mr..
Kelley undertook to drive between that and .
large baggage wagon containing Tony PASTORS
paraphernalia, which was passing. AS he did
SO his horse SHE'D trife at the baggage
wagon and the express wagon started forward
the result being that the thin OF the express
wagon caught in the hind wheel Of Mr.. Kel-
ly's buggy and in a twinkling his vehicle was
upset. Mr.. Kelly fell with great force to the
pavement, striking upon his right shoulder
and side. AS he fell he was almost inextric-
cably mingled with the teams and vehicles on
the street, and a powerful horse almost step
ped upon his head. The animal had his foot
raised, but with rare instinct, avoided Mr.. KEEL
ly's head. Mr.. Kelly was able to arise and
drove to DR.. Hands Office, who found no bones
broken and pronounced his injuries muscular
bruises. Mr.. Kelly remained at his store at.
tending to business during the forenoon, but
his hip and side became so sore and painful
that he was not on duty the latter part of the
day. 1t is to be hoped that his injuries may
prove no worse than at first supposed.

saying that lead was better floating substance
han cork, that acting on his discovery he was
about to invent lead life preserver, was going
out in one Of the Goodrich boats to expert
ment with it and on his return to the city
would sell his patent for 100000 and pay off
all his debts. There is no doubt that he went
out in the boat and tried the lead pleseryer
and was OF course drowned, for his clothes
were found in the boat Friday on its return to
the city. Mr.. Newell had met with financial
embarrassment which troubled him exceeding
" and which, undoubtedly, resulted in tenn
porary insanity, during which he committed
the rash act.
