illness. She has been suffering from ner-
vous prostration for year past and spent
most of the winter and spring in Philadel-
phia under medical treatment. It will be
remembered that Senator Allison declined
the offer of the Secretaryship of the Treas
ury in Garfeld's Cabinet on account of the
illhealth of his wife During the summer
she has been at water cure in CASTLE,
New Jersey, but had improved SO much in
health that Senator Allison had returned
to Dubuque, and her foster mother, Mrs.
Grimes, had also returned home. On Sat
urday last she was suddenly taken worse,
and while suffering from her Illness walked
four miles to Silver Lake and deliberately
entered the water with the determination
to end her life. She was rescued and re-
turned to the hotel.
Senator Allison had been telegraphed of
her relapse and had made preparations for
leaving for Castle, and did go before learn
ing of this misfortune. He left on the
first train and reached her on Monday
evening.
Postmaster Crane received dispatch
from him tonight stating that Mrs. Allison
had been steadily improving since Monday.
This was the niece and adopted daughter
of the late Senator Grimes. She was mar
ried to Mr. Allison eight years ago. She
is lady of much refinement and was en-
inent in social life, both In Iowa and Wash
ington. Her alteration being the result
of nervous debility, can be but temporary
in its character.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Sept. About IL
miles east of this city freight train going
west broke apart, and the caboose and sew

TRAIN ROBBERY.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. IA very brief report
reached here at q late hour tonight that
an express car on the Chicago & Alton
train was robbed at Glendale, a few miles
from independence, Mo, tonight, and that
the express messenger was killed. An
effort was made to get an account of the
affair, both from Independence and Kan
sas City, but without success so far. The
following further particulars are received.
The train was the west bound express and
about one hundred passengers on
board, all of whom lost something and
many quite heavily. Frank Lombards,
news agent of the train, made the following
statement:
was sitting in the smoking car talking
with the conductor, Jack Hazelbaker, we
were on the up grade, four miles from
independence. All of sudden the train
came to a stop. We heard loud voices and
pistol shots and saw lanterns flashing We
knew train robbers were on us. Hazel
baker ran back into the train and warned
the passengers. They were all looking out
of the windows until the robbers ordered
them to pull in their heads and keep quiet.
Inc ROBBERS had stopped the train by
putting distractions on the rails and sig
mailing. / am sure there were a dozen
of them although some of the passengers
place the number at sixteen. Everybody
was panic stricken and helpless. l ran out
of the car and found men guarding the en-
gineer and fireman. They were poorly
masked but all armed with Henry rifles.
They were swearing loudly and shooting
at random. Some of the balls passed in
to the mail car but did not touch any
thing.
The express messenger Fox, had in the
meantime barricaded an express car.
They climbed up on it and began to shoot.
They then broke into the car and knocked
him down by violent blow on the head.
They robbed the safe of everything, then
ran back to the smoking car and hid most
of the money. The robbers came in and
ordered me to lie down. / did so.
They pointed O revolver at me and
ordered me to fork over. L
said my money was under the cushion.
They told me to get and I got it you can
bet They then went back to the other
cars; made wholesale robbery of money,
watches and iewelry. Some of the passen-
gers secreted their money but the majority
lost all. The ladies were compelled to sit
down on the floor and some had
their ear rings taken from their
ears and many lost their jewelry, one man
lost $3.50, in meantime freight train was
coming up behind US, Curton the brakemaa
ran down the track with storm of bullets
behind him, stopped the train and probab-
ly saved many lives. After the cars were
gone through the robbers jumped OF.

seeming to indicate that the channel is

ssThe care which the females. bestow
upon their offspring" says Duvancel,
+" is so tender and even refined that one
would be almost tempted to attribute
the sentiment to rational ratherthan an
instructive process. 1t is a curious and
interesting spectacle, which little pre-
caution has sometimes enabled me to
witness, to see the females carry their
young to the river, wash their faces In
spite of their childish Outcries, and al
together bestow upon their cleanliness a
time and attention that in many cases
the children of our own species might
well envy. The Malays, indeed, related
a fact to me, which | doubted at first,
but which / believe to be in a great
measure confirmed by my own subse-
quent observations. 1t is that the
young sionaanqs, while yet too weak to
go alone, are always carried by individu-
ais of their own sex,-by their fathers,
if they are males; by their mothers, If
females" NJ. Jacksonville states that
the parents exercise their parental au-
thority over their children in 8 sort OF
judicial and strictly impartial form.
The young ones were seen to sport and
gambol with one another in the presence
of their mother; who sat ready to give
judgement and punish misdemeanors.
When any one was found guilty Of foul
play or malicious conduct toward an
other of the family. the parent interfered
by seizing the young criminal by the
tail, which she held fast with one of her
paws till she boxed his ears with the
other"

SIC VITA.
BY DIR. HENRY KING.

Like to the falling OF star,
Or as the flights of eagles are;
Or like the fresh springs gaudy hue,
Or silver drops of morning dew;
Or like a wind that chafes the flood,
Or bubbles which our water stood;
Even such is man whose borrowed light
Is straight called in, and paid tonight.
The wind blows out, the bubble dies;
The spring entombed in autumn lies;
The dew dries up, the star is shot;
The fight is past-and man forgot.
