Two HerOfnes.

During the last trip of the Golden Crown
from New Orleans, while lying at Gretna, a
few miles above the latter city, loading a large
lotto marble, the passengers, learning from
the Captain that they would have several
hours in port, started out to sec the town.
Among those who wandered around the town
was Master Willie Baird, the ffteen-year-old
son of DIR. Baird, OF Wheeling. and In a spirit
of adventure he walked out on a long piece Of
timber that was lying in the water. As he APP
preached the end he lost his balance and fell
into the turbulent water. Tho Rocideut
was witnessed by several ON the shore,
who all seemed parGlyzed with fear, with
the exception of Miss Ella Bailey, q resident Of
Newport, KY, a niece Of Mr.. Bailey, who is
the book-keeper of Robert Clarke & Co., lass
of about the same age young Baird. The
courageous girl ran to the spot jumped to the
log, and got hold of the hair of the lad as he
was sinking for the last time, and she held on
braveIy until assistance came to the rescue.
If matters in real life take tho snme course as
they do in fiction, our next notloe Of this
young couple will be the ringing of the mar
riage bells for Willie and the brave lassie who
saved his life.- Cincinnati Enquirer.
Last Friday two gentlemen. named Payne
and HaTiAton, commercial travellers, arrived
at New River ferry. While waiting for the
boat Mr.. Payne drove the buggy into the water
to wash it or, when the horse became unman-
ageable and plunged into deep water. Mr..
Payne endeavored to cut the animal loose, but
was thrown into the water, and having on
heavy overcoat and boots was I'm a very critical
situation. Lille Bryant, daughter OF the ferry
man, aged fourteen years, was on the other
side of the river playing in canoe. With
great presence Of mind she padded at once to
the rescue. Mr.. Hariston, with less, made her
come to the bank for him before going to the
rescue of Payne, he suppOsinR that the little
girl was not able herself to rescue Payne;
but Mr.. Hartston, seiztng a paddle, put
the boat to turning round and round" and
so Payne sank. Brave Lille at once took COM
mand, ordered HaristOn to let her paddle her
own canoe, showed it to the spot whore Payne
was sinking for the third time, and called to
him as he went down: Held up your handsl'
Payne's hands were thus above water when his
head went under, and the intrepid girl seized
them, and with Hariston's help drew him into
the boat Meantime Mr.. Andrew InRles had
seen the alarming accident, jumped into a OR-
noe, and arrived just In time to save the horse
from drowning All honor to the brave Lihis
Bryant, the heroine of New Kiverl Nr. Payne,
in his gratitude, desires to educate and support
the child. but Lille is a romPing girl, wh9 de-
lights in eshhg-rOd and canoe more than In
dolls and dresses, and is unwilling It is said, to
exchange the wild freedom of her mountain
life for the confinement of a boardiDR-school.
