An Incident at o Hotel.

A SINGULAR affair happened at a
Petersburg (va.) hotel the other day.
Two gentlemen, strangers to each other,
desired to be called at an early hour in
the morning that they might take an
express train for the North. At the APP
pointed hour the hotel messenger rap
ped at the door of the man from Wash
ington to arouse him. The occupant OF
the room, taking the messenger for an
intruder, jumped from bed, dashed at
him with pitcher in hand, and chased
him from the room. Returning, the
gentleman by mistake entered the apart
ment of the New Yorker, who was
dressing, and whom he also took to be
an intruder. A contest of strength en-
sued, during which the pitcher was
broken to pieces and both men were
slightly injured The New Yorker es-
capped from the room and called for
help, while the man from Washington,
master of the situation, locked himself
inside. Help was soon obtained in the
person of some men In the hotel and one
81, two police officers, and tho man from
Washington was persuaded TO open the
door and 60 to his own room. He soon
after seemed TO awaken as II from a
dream, appearing entirely ignorant OF
what, he had done. lie apologized To
tho New Yorker for his conduct, and
they went North together on the train,

happy in the love OF one should hold
to be better man.
And from that hour his career began
the career of no commercial traveller,
but that of the son of rich and power
full house, put forward for fresh honors
all the time, now Governor, now Sena-
tor, and when war came, unwilling TO
take arms against either his native North
or his adopted South, going with the
| others to the villa on the Mediterranean,
where life was long dream of idleness
and ease. He was good husband, /
am glad to know. He never allowed
himself TO feel that Adele had done him
an injury, he forced himself always to
look at the other side, and value the ad-
vantages he received through connec-
ton with her father. She was gentle
little being, always beautiful, never alto
gether of perfectly strong mind or will
again, but living and breathing through
him and she lived and breathed through
him for twenty-five years. He could
only be proud of her, in q certain way,
at Southern springs, in Congressional
life, as they went through Europe; her
exquisite grace, her dark, large-eyed
loveliness, the simplicity of her always
perfect ladyhood, il one may use the
word, were things always to admire,
and crowds followed her. He also ad.
mired her he had tender care for her,
gentle attachment to her, and II he
never loved her, she never knew he did
not. She hardly remembered that he
had ever had his poor, pale passion in the
North. She died at last, thinking ol
him as only her own, and thanking him
for the bliss he had given her in his long
faithfulness. But his poor, pale passion
had become an ideal thing TO him, a sort
of pole-star round which his soul re-
volved SO entirely as to be automatic and
unconscious In It's motion. He did moi
actively and all the time remember IL
but 1t helped to shape his course, and i
was always there.

fact that your middle aged man often falls in
owe with quite young girl; and it is still
more curious fac" that the young girl will just
as often, or as seldom, fall in love with the
middle-aged man. 1t is not till after the mar
rage that the radical incongruity between May
and December is made apparent. Lord Exeter
determined to make the young girl his bride,
and enthrone her in state at "Burleigh House
by Stamford town." Things, however, were
not exactly managed as set forth in the lyric.
Lord Exeter thought that his future wife was
both too young and too uneducated for her
great position. The young lady was sent to a
good school and received an excellent training,
All this time he religiously preserved the Sc
cret of his rank. They were married; and then
came the great sensational surprise of his de-
claring his rank and welcoming her as the La.
dy OF Burleigh. The melancholy conclusion
of Tennyson's ballad is, in the main, true
enough: The young girl thus married had sew
eral children, and then she faded away. Per-
haps It was, as the poet says, Through the bur-
Perhaps II was not only the inequality of sta
ton, but the inequality of age and tastes Such
Is the true story of this romantic and fame us
marriage. 1t comes to me indirectly through
brother of the bride, an unbenefced clergy
man of the Church of England who, though
sent to college at the expense of his brother-in-
law, had reasons for afterward refusing promo
tion from the Exeter family. He was for ma
ny years curate of Seton, near Liverpool. The
brides name was the unpoetical one of Sarah
Higgins, as may be verified by reference to
the Peerage.

Two Sohooners Collide off Cape
Cod.
SEVEN LIVES REPORTED LOST.

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass, April 7.-Schoon-
or N. II. Skinner, of Taunton, Thrasher from
Boston for Philadelphia, has arrived. Capt
Thrasher reports at midnight, 9Th inst, off
Cape Cod was in collision with schooner Fred
Brown, of Providence, Small, from New York
with cargo of retorts or piping and logwood
The latter vessel sank Immediately, and but
one person, seaman, named Nicholas Jere-
miah, was saved. The captain, mate, mates
wife, three children and one seaman were
drowned. The Skinner was running down the
Cape with strong northwest wind, among a
large fieet OF vessels at anchor under the Cape
Capt. Thrasher was himself on the lockout,
and saw the vessel few minutes but as she
showed no lights he thought she was heading
the same way that his vessel was, when di,
rectly he found she was heading for him. He
ordered his wheel hard aport The saved sea-
map, who sprung on board of the Skinner at
theknoment of the collision, states that thew
had no lookout on the Brown; that thew had
lowered the mainsail down to reef and went
forward to haul the other iib down when they
saw the Skinner. The mate cried out to the
captain to "hard a starboard," and the YES
sells came together head on with a fearful
crash, cutting in the entire forward mart of the
vessel, causing her to sink in two minutes.
Lines were thrown over and one man was
pulled nearly up the vessels side, when he let
go the rope and fell into the water. The Skin
ner remained as near the locality of the acct
dent as possible for two hours. The saved sea-
man says the Browns side lights had gone out.
The damage to the N. 81. Skinner is slight,
Tho names of the lost are unknown.

WESTERN FLOODS.
Water Rising Rapidly at Omaha.
DANGER OF STARVATION IN DA-
KOTAH.

OMAHA, April 8.-The Missouri river at 10
this morning registered 10 feet 7linches above
low water mark and is rising half an inch an
hour. The river is now foot higher than
ever known, but owing to precautions taken
the damage is slight as yet, but the situation
is critical. A further rise of four inches will
carry the water over the fall into the Union
Pacific yards and flood the lumber yards. The
current is very rapid and large amount of ice
is running. 1t is hoped the highest point is
vous over the possibilities of the next few
hours.
lLATER.]
The Missouri is 20 feet above low water
mark and still rising. The water flooded the
Union Pacific shops and is running through the
smelling works and greatly damaging govern
mental property. Trains on the St. Paul &
Omaha and Kansas City & St. Joe and Burl-
ington & Missouri roads. are abandoned
through floods near the city.
Sioux CITY, Ia, April 8.-All the gorges in
the river above Sioux City have undoubtedly
broken. The flood is now at its hight, and
passing by here at least four feet below the
below the level of the business portion of the
city. The lowlands on the opposite side of the
river in Nebraska are flooded, and the people
were compelled to get out. The Covington
people were brought to this side this morning.
A low point of ground below the city at the
merged. The ice is too rotten and broken up
to for many gorge below in the face of so pow
erful current, and all apprehensions of any
trouble in this city from freshets in. the Mis-.
souri, may be dispelled. The water now is sta
tionary, and will doubtless be on the decline
tomorrow. There are about 200 refugees in
town.
YANKToN, April S-The waters are sub
siding rapidly and the Missouri is now run
ming in its natural banks. The point bottom
lands are still submerged. Altogether nearly
thousand people were rescued from houses
in the inundated region in this country alone.
Many have not been reached owing to the i'm
passable character of the ice walls surround
ing them, and it is feared they may perish
from hunger and exposure before relief can
reach them. The question of providing for
the survivors who lost their all is pressing for
thousands have been reduced to absolute want.
The counties aided by private donations have
borne the expense, but movement is on foot
to call upon the generous public to assist in re-
lieving the distress which this community is
unable to do. The work of rescuing proceeds
but yesterdays snow and winds seriously de-
layed it.
