BRIEF FOREIGN NEWS.

The recent sction of the house of COM
mons seems to have no weight with Mr..
Bradlaugh other than to stimulate him to
further exertions to obtain what he consid-
ers his moral and legal rights. He has
been busy in London during the past week,
organizing meetings to he held in different
parts of the city. At one of the meetings
Rev. Stewart Headlam, an Anglican cler
gyman, will speak in favor of the Brad
laugh cause. This action on the part of a
minister of the Church of England is strong
ly commented upon in Orthodox circles
and caused intense excitement among
churchmen.
Sir Charles Michael Woolseley Baranott

Fond du Lac, Wis, Badly Flooded.

A special of the 22d says At intervals
during the entire week Fond du Lee has
been visited by the most terrific rainstorms,
accompanied by heavy wind. Last night
about 1880 the heavens seemed to open and
o deluge of rain fell, sweeping all light ma
terial before it. This was kept up a good
share of the night, and at the dawn OF
morning everybody was of the opinion that
a heavy rain had prevailed. They little
knew what was in store for them. The US
ual large number of people wended their
way to church, little dreaming that before
return their homes would be flooded and
carpets and furniture ruined; but
such was the case. At about IL
q. m. several dams on Geneva creek gave
way and the vast quantity of water which
was thus confined swept the entire eastern
portion of the city. The rear of the water,
as it rushed along, receiving reinforcements
at every foot, could be heard over great por
ton of the city. Upward of 200 dwelling
houses are submerged more or less, accord
ing to location. For Two hours the water
continued to rise until it was depth of
three feet in the middle of the streets. At
this writing it is gradually receding. The
water travelled with such velocity that it
tore up the Division street pavement and
the lower end of the street. and washed it
away to a depth of several feet, and still it
rains.

The Destruction of Elgin. Minn.

At 1920 p. m. on the 21st., the cyclone
struck Elgin, Wabasha Co., Mimi, and
within one minute there was scarcely any
thing left OF what was little village of $50
inhabitants. One lady, Mrs. Thayer, was
killed and several others wounded. The
damage will foot up very heavily. A num-
ber of miraculous escapes took place. Mrs.
Townsend was in the third story of the
building with her family, over rooms oc-
cupied by Mrs. Thayer, and was hemmed
in by two stoves, but fortunately escaped
with slight bruises. d number OF
people were hurt slightly by
missiles. Trees were all torn up. A Ger
man blacksmith was working when the
wind took the entire shop and carried it
off, and no trace of the shop left. Richard.
sons store is still standing. The front and
back of the building is all blown away. All
the stores are almost a complete wreck. The
hotel Office of Snfford's was carried away
some distance, including Emanuel Wiel,
all escaped by going down in the cellar.
The hardware store, saloon and agricultur-
al store were almost demolished. A num-
ber of horses were killed. Some had their
legs broken. Some dwellings were blown
entirely away, nothing left to show except
a few boards.

Parents Love.

In one of the cities bordering close to
New York there occurred the following
incident:
horse, who seemed determined to break
from his hand. 1t plunged and reared
and at length started to run. The driver
at first wrapped the reins around his
wrists in his efforts to hold the fractions
animal.
"Let him go Let him 60 " cried the
bystanders; you can't hold him Let
him go Why don't you let him go?"
The driver never needed these cries ;
he held on with all his strength, and as a
last resort, wrapped the reins around his
neck.
Great efforts were made, and after a
time the horse was caught, but not till the
blood was gushing from the nose and
mouth OF the man who strove so hard to
hold him.
A crowd gathered around the poor man,
and he was asked, " Why didn't you let
him go? Your life Is worth hundred
such horses"
"Look In the back of that wagon"
said he. "Do you see that little boy
That's all the little boy we have. l
couldn't 60 home to his mother without
that little boy, and for him l held the
horse to the danger of my own life"
All, children, there was the fathers
love displayed rather than have his little
son hurt, he ran most fearful risk, but
counted his own lie as little worth, if he
might save his boy.
Like as father pitieth his children,
80 the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
