RAN AWAY FROM HER HOME.
A Minister'S Daughter OuarrcIs With H.

"A
Mother ana i;ecOmes u Tramp.
Mr.. w. G. Reed. resident of Paterson,
Putnam county, N. Y, was making in
quiries yesterday in White Plains, West
chester county, concerning young
woman WHO ran away from her home in
Paterson last Friday afternoon. Mr..
Reed told the following story: The
girl is Miriam Baird, aged eighteen
years, daughter of the Rev James
Baird. formerly Presbyterian minis
ter, but now an Episcopalian, living at
No, 40 Grove street, New York. His wife
and family, however, live at Paterson, n.
IL. Mr.. Baird has no permanent charge,
but is in hopes of securing one very soon.
Last Friday afternoon Miriam and her
mother quarrleled over $500 that had been
bequeathed the young lady, the mother
having compelled her to divide the sum
equally with her elder sister. After the
quarrel the daughter proceeded to carry
out threat to run away that she had fire.
quentIy made. She was not Immediately
missed, but when inquiry was made for her
some children said that they had seen her
going away, and that she said she was
"gOing where they would never see
her again." From this it was feared
she intended committing suicide. Fur
ther search, however, revealed the fact
that she had taken the road to Carmel,
where she stayed Friday night. At about
3 o'clock she was observed wandering
about the streets and making inquiries as
to what time the train went to Lake Ma
hopac. She was told that no trains were
running there, SO she walked to that place,
arriving there about noon. In the afternoon
she bought a ticket from Lake Mahopac to
Chappaqua, Westchester county. Learning
this much concerning the runaway, Mr..
Reed left Paterson yesterday morning and
arrived at Chappaqua, but could there
get no trace Of her. He then walked to
Pleasantville, about two miles further
south. There a trackman said he thought
he had seen her. and gave a minute de-
scriptiOn of her, saying she had light COM
plexion, light hair, blue eyes, light calico
dress, straw hat, and new button CATERS.
This was a complete description of the
runaway. She had been making inquir-
les about Unionvillc, small station OH
the New York and Harlem railroad, and
the road to it. She was then without
shoes, and her feet seemed to he quite
sore. She went into millinery store at
Pleasantville and sold some crochet work
and lace she had with her, and with the
proceeds bought some crackers. This is
the last that has been seen of her. Mr..
Reed walked all the way from Pleasant
vile to White Plains yesterday morning,
making inquiries along the way, but no
one had seen the girl.

Forty Days Rain In St0re-SOmc Account
of st. Swithin.
To-day is st. Swithin's day, and accord
ing to an ancient saying, as the weatl,er.is
OH this day, 50 will it be for forty days
succeeding.
As we had glorious rain this morning,
followed by several warm showers, We may
expect to be favored with good long wet
spell, if the old saw holds goo.l.
Saint Swithin was an English ecclesi;.sti,
Of the ninth century, who WAS chaplain
to King Egbert and tutor to his SON Ethel
wulf, under whom, when he came to the
throne, he held the Office of chancellor. lie
also had the charge of the education oi
King Alfred, whom he accompanied T."
Rome. In 1852, he was cOnsecr:,ted bishop
of Winchester. According to William %:
Malmesbury, he was I" o rich treasure ut
all virtues, and those in which he took
most delight were humility and charity to
the poor" He adds that he built several
churches and travelled through his diocese
with his clergy on foot and for the most
part by night, in order to avoid the appc.:r-
ance of Ostentation. The origin of the tril,-
ute called ''Peters pence has been often
assigned to st. Swithin, and he is said t..
have procured an act of the Wittena.e,,,"te
enforcing, for the first time, the universal
obligation Of paying tithes. st. Swithin
died ON the I'd OF July, S62, and Wis
buried, according to his own desire, ia the
church yard of Winchester. \ century
later he was can0nized, and the monks no:
considering this a fit place of sepultur
for saint, exhumcd his body for the p,,r-
pose Of depOsiting it in Winchester catLc-
dral, but this translation, which was to
have taken place on the 18TH day Of July,
was delayed in consequence "f violent
rains, which continued for forty days
without intermissiOn. Out of this circl,n,-
stance arose the still current belief that il
it rained ON the 18th day Of July it vii!
continue to rain for forty days.

THE OHIO SPARROW HAWK.
An Arlthmetlcal Omen that Drives the I

w. A. Taylor, writes from Columbus,
o. {: The story going the rounds Of the Re-
publican papers about an eagle alighting on
Gen. Garfield's house ut the very moment
he was nominated at Chicago is a very
pretty one but the only foundation for it
is the fact that sparrowhawk rested on
the ridge pole for moment. Possibly he
was looking for a Credit Mobilier grass
hopper. Admitting the authenticity of
the omen, the eagle should have been de-
parting from the house to make the
Roman ausury good. But evon then the
omen would have been far less Ominous
than others. Take the letters of the

Gen. sherman Has No Recollection of Any
Such Incendmry Document.
A special dispatch to the New York
World from jamestown, Dakota, states
that General Sherman, who has just ar
rived there from Fort Totten. where he
had been for some days beyond the reach
of the telegraph, is in excellent health.
He declines to be interviewed
in regard to his correspondence at
any time with General Hancock, but states
emphatically that he has no recollection of
ever hearing anything from Gen. Hancock
about taking orders from Mr.. Tilden, or,
indeed, anything at all like the stories
which have been printed and published
about his correspondence with General
Hancock. This was not needed by any
one who knows General Hancock or Gen.
eral Sherman, but it may be of use to the
gossips and romaDcers of the press.

than the alighing Of a sparrOwhawk upon

other ministers of other faiths speak
ono evening at one Of these anniver.
ssries. The first speaker this even
ing was the deservedly popular
Episcopal preacher, Philips Brooks,
an immense man with u face just
like that of cherub. He speaks
very rapidly, a friend once said that
Philips Brooks was like fountain,
the words gushed forth so spontane-
ously and rapidly from his mouth.
Mr.. Brooks spoke finely and was
much applaudsd. He ended his lee
ture with an appropriate verse. DR..
James Freeman Clarke spoke after
wards. He is quite an old man now
and speaks in calm, Unconditional
manner but what he says is always
true and interesting. He is consid-
cred to have one of the finest and
most unprejudiced minds Of any one
in Boston. Robert Collyer, now of
New York, But who preached twen-
ty years in Chicago, was received
with much clapping Of hands. He
had taken the place of DR.. Bellows,
Of New York, the latter being unex-
pectedly recalled home just when
the anniversaries we're in full blast.
DIR. Collyer, when asked by Mr..
Baldwin to speak, had said: swell,
what shall speak about ?" "Oh,
talk about sunshine and cheerful,
ness,". brother Baldwin rejoined. l

times and always carry away with

frog pond was cleaning in the fore
ground and in it an enterprising
little urchin was cooling and cleans
ing his feet and legs, apparently un-
conscious or perhaps which is 1.-The
most probable, utterly independent
as to the many spectators. People
were sauntering through the various
avenues or lounging in different
attitudes upon the benches and
grass. And now feeling much re-
freshed, once again arose and after
visiting several picture galleries l
entered Freeman Place, a small
court next to Dio Lewis hotel, which
ends in chapel known as the Free

past three p. m, meeting for the
discussion Of female school suffrage
had been announced to take place
and by the time the hands Of the
clock pointed to the hour the hall
was crowded, principally with wo.
men, and Miss Abbie May, the chair
man Of the meeting, o. ened it by a
short address. She was followed by
Professor Pierce of Cambrid ge, the
great mathematician. The Profes
sor spoke very sensibly.but his man.
ner of expressing himself was ex
ceedingly labored. 1t seems he has
always taken the deepest interest
in the subject of woman school suff.
rage. Colonel Higginson also spoke,
but though most agreeable and
witty speaker his remarks on this
occasion were very discouraging and
in polite way he gave the ladies a
regular setting down for not work
ing harder and exerting themselves
more in their own cause. Several of
the lady speakers who followed Col.
Higginson resented the general tone
of his speechin very spirited man.

necessary for any one to go West
and they will see for themselves as
