A SOUTHERN GRACE DARLING.

Captain Claison of the sloop ''Tommy,"
plying between Clear Lake and this city,
gives the News an account of an act of hero
ism by young girl that is eminently worthy
of record. He says that during the last
norther, small sloop, in which there
were two men, was capsized off Edwards
Point. Both succeeded in getting upon the
bottom of the boat, and in this perilous
position were buffeted by wind and sea and
exposed to the cold for about twenty-five
hours One of the men, utterly exhausted,
was ready to succumb, but his companion
bound him to the boat with a rope, and thus
prevented his destruction. Finally they were
carried by the waves to within about mile
of the shore, when they were seen through
spyglass by Miss Evans, 16-year-old
daughter of a gentleman residing at the
Lawrence place on the bay shore, between
Edwards Point and the mouth of Clear
Creek. The brave girl, realizing their inn
minent peril and knowing that there was no
one on the place to go to their rescue her
self launched frail skiff and set out to aid
them. With such sea as was running,
this would have been a hazardous undertak-
ing for strong man, but the little heroine
was not daunted by danger. Pulling
through the pillows until exhausted, she
would drop her anchor, rest, and, hoisting
her weights, would start anew. In this
manner she slowly worked her way to the
men, whom she relieved from their danger
GUS situation and safely conveyed to land,
attending to their wants and gently caring
for them at her fathers house.-GalUeston

A man now living in Kingston, N. Y,
emigrated to the West many years ago and
bought house which had stood unoccupied
for a considerable time. The first night he
heard sounds which convinced him that
there were rats in the cellar, and on investi-
CATION he found that hundreds of the crea-
lures we're disporting themselves there.
Having eaten quarter OF beef down to the
bone, they were playing tag among the
shelves and boxes He offered to introduce
the family cat, but she declined to be pre-
sented The next day she was missing and
the family supposed they had lost her; but
on the fourth day a familiar ''meow' was
heard and there was Tabby at the head of a
column of three dozen cats in light march
ing order, their backs up and tails rampant.
The trout door was opened and the detach-
ment moved down the cellar stairs in good
order. The next morning -four barrel full

The Maine Farmer says that the value of
roots for stock is not appreciated to the ex-
tent that it should be. In the rotation of
crops in England, turnips rank high, and it
it is not uncommon for farmer to devote
from twenty to fifty acres to this crop.
Cattle are kept there in fine condition in
Winter on raw turnips, and the latter also
make excellent food for sheep. On rich
land the crop produces very largely, and a
comparatively small space is sufficient for
ordinary wants.

When a COW is choked with a potato or
reached or caught by two fingers of the
hand inserted in the throat, the best means
of relief is rather to crush the obstacle, by
placing block of wood on one side of the
throat against it, and striking sharp blow
on the other side, with wooden mallet.
This will smash the potato, apple or root,
and the COW can swallow it.

Like Stephen Girard, Judge Charles E.
Forbes, who was buried at Springfield,
Mass, on Wednesday, had no liking for
clergymen. By his will he left about $780,,
900 to establish free library in the town of
Northampton. This will provides that
$150,0O0 shall be known as book fund,
whose income shall be used to obtain scien-
tific and historical works, principally, al
though every phase of literature is to be
represented except sectarian religious works.
The will specially provides that no minister
of any denomination shall have anything
to do with the management of the library,
which shall at all times be in the care of
laymen. 1t is said that a codcil was made
about two years ago changing the latter
clause in favor of Rev. W. s. Leavitt, but
diligent search has been made and the cod
icil cannot be found. Should the town not
accept this bequest within three years then
the whole of his property goes to Harvard
College to establish certain professorships.
The town already has a library of about
$4,000 volumes, fund of $50, 900 and a
building which cost about $4,000, so that
with this new gift it will certainly be well
provided with literary facilities.
