One of Three Lady Bathers Saves Her
Two Companions from Drowning.
Correspondence of tie Horning Nelcs.
ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA, Sept. 27.-Some
days ago Miss Leonora J. johnson. a Girl
under II years of age, performed an act
of herOism which entities her to the ad-
miration ofthe public. In the vicinity of St.
Augustine, Fla, there is beautiful stream
of water, with deep and moderately
swift current and white sandy margin,
shaded by a dense mass Of foliage. Here
Mrs. A. a. Hildreth, accompanied by Miss
Lee and Miss johnson, entered the river
to take a bath, Miss johnson being the
only one of the three who could swim.
Miss Lee accidentally got beyond her
depth and was being carried down
the stream, when she appealed for
help, but sank beneath the surface i'm
mediately after. Miss johnson hastened
to the assistance of the drowning girl, and
having reached her, seized her with one
hand by her hair as she was sinking for
the third time. With the other hand the
young girl swan with her burden towards
the shore. Mrs. Hildreth had reached
the bank, and, in making an attempt to
render assistance, slipped into the water
and also sank. Miss johnson, without
letting 90 Miss Lee, caught Mrs. Hildreth
as she came to the surface, and, as it was
a short distance to the bank, forced her
back on the land, where she caught
a stubble of marsh-grass and aided
the others to reach place of
comparative security. Soon after a small
boat was sent out and took the three
ladies back to the landing. Miss Lee was
apparently dead for some time and Mrs.
Hildreth was very much exhausted. 1t
was some time before she recovered from
the effect of the shock.
Miss johnson was perfectly cool and
collected during the occurrence. The
brave act Of the young heroine in saving
both the ladies from drowning is more
worthy of mention because of her eX-
treme youth, and because those she saved
were much heavier than she was, and
therefore difficult to handle.

Paris Correspondence Of tie London Globe.
On Tuesday morning the Marquis de
Leuville, whose name / had occasion to
mention last week, fought a duel on the
Belgian frontier with a nObleman who
was supposed to be Lord Anglesy. The
Marquis de Leuville's real adversary was
Count Almensegg, well-knOwn in Paris
and the German baths, where high play
prevails in private, if notin public. What
ever may be stated to the contrary, the
quarrel that led to an encounter was not a
political one, though both parties would
wish it to appear so. 1t arose from
the name 81 fair American being
taken in vain by Count Almensegg. The
cOmbatants met near the Belgian town of
Furnes. The Marquis seconds were NM
RodOcanachi and NavassOur: the Counts
were two Englishmen, Messrs. Howard
and Vaughan. After some splendid fenc-
ing ON both sides, NJ. de Leuville wounded
his opponent in the arm. The latter was
conveyed to Furnes to an inn that bears
an unmistakable English sign of ssYe Red
ROse,'' and shows still traces of the archi-
lecture that obtained IN the days of York
and Lancaster wars. The former proceed
ed to BOul0gne, whence he crossed over
to England. The Marquis de Leuyille is
an Anglo-Frenchman and one of the best
known shots all over the world. He was
to have married Mrs. Frank Leslie. The
match has been broken off solely ON the
score of religious difference. NJ. de Leu

Church, while Mrs. Leslie remains Pres

Turning his back on the great gathering
across the course, he faced the select and
distinguished cOterie in the Judges stand,
and said in low tone:
Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentlemen:
l am indebted to the officers of this
agricultural society for this honor to-day,
and | thank you for it," Then, turning
to his audience, he said in a voice which
failed to reach very far: Far away from
my Southern home l have come to enjoy
this occasion. We are here to prepare
way whereby we may become "A more
homogeneous people. The soldiers of the
North and of the South were the first to

hesitated and faltered. Turning his back
on the audience again he faced the ladies
in the judges stand, and, looking at
them a few seconds, began in a very low
tone: GLOW can l, poor soldier, reared

not divine what he was doing or saying,
while those in the stand looked at him
steadfastly. II can only say-in the

a TRIO OF SUMMER RESORTS.
Canton, Jasper and ElIijay to Compete
for Tourist Patronage.
Correspondence Of the Koraing Eeaos.

Correspondence of the K0rnfng gelos.
CANTON. GA, Sept. 2S.-Canton, Jasper
and Ellijay, on the Meriwether and North
Georgia Railroad, are destined to compete
with other towns in North Georgia as
summer resorts. Several families were
here from the lower country last sum-
mer. Canton is built on high rolling hills
overlooking the valley Of the Etowah on
the north and the more level country ex-
tending toward the south. 1t has many
enterprising stores, and an intelligent,
thrifty population. Judge James Brown
lives two miles above on the banks Of the
EtOwah. He has an attractive, beautiful
country home. The cold Ball Ground"
twelve miles above. from a crossroads
grOg shop, is rising to the Importance OF a
tirst-class village. 1t was here on these
old fields the Indians, in days gone by,
surpassed our modern boy with ball and
bat, without the inspiration of the pre-
sence Of reporter Of daily paper.
Jasper, on high ridge of a mountain,
with Long swamp mountains circling to
the east and north and Shoop Mountain on
the west, is beautifully situated. The
mountains are rs bulwark around about
her, and at night the stars seem to pin
the blue vault above as Il canopy to their
towering heights. One summer day as q
dark cloud, with lightning playing on its
bosom, descended on the mountain, / saw
little native Villager amusing himself
naming peak after peak as they would go
from sight. covered by the advancing
shower. The constant changing of light
and shadow and the blending of colOrs on
cloud, sky and mountain, is ever pleasing
to the eye, and one finds himself constantly
giving forth expressions of admiration.
the mineral spring near Judge Simmons
place is becoming a resort for inyalids.
Its properties have not vet been analyZed.
We predict Il large hotel near its site be-
fore many days.
The marble hid in these mountains is
ineXhaustible and of surprising beauty.
n quarry is being worked already very
successfully. Recently a Kansas man
bought the side of a spur on the mountain.
Its resources are undeveloped. The finest
peaches, apples, corn and potatoes are
grown in these rich valleys. There are
COWS, hogs, horses and chickens in abun-
dance. Living is cheap. Board is from

dependence Of the Aorai'ag Ne2os.

A Washington special to the Courier
Journal of September 9th says: ''An un-
known man, evidently a stranger, and a
very daring one, performed a feat about
noon which chilled the blood of every one
who witnessed it. He ascended to the
dome of the capitol, and, producing pair
of opera-glasses, mounted the railing sur
rounding the diZZy-heighted platform hun
dreds of feet above the ground and walked
deliberately around on the narrow foot
ing, viewing the city and surrounding
country through his glasses. Several per-
sons IN the parks below, who wit
messed the man spider outlined against
the sky like a speck almost in the clouds,
rushed in and told Captain Allbaugh, of
the Capitol police force, and he immedi-
ately dispatched AN officer to the dome
with instructions to bring the foolhardy
man down. The officer, upon reaching
the top, commanded the stranger to get
down. The command was obeyed by the
aeralist, who remarked in a cool manner
''Why, that's nothing; l am used to that
sort of business" He refused to give his
name, and descended in company with
the officer. The dome is nearly 400 feet
from the ground, and to even look down
from behind the ratings would make the
average mortal quite dizzy.

so tightly that several OF her corset stays

BOsToN, Sept. 30.-The following agree
ment has been extensively circulated and
largely signed by the newsdealers in this
city: = The recent cut in the
price of the New York dailies is
against our interests as business
men. The publication Of cheap newspa-
pers is uncalled for, and it is high time
that publishers should recognize the
newsdealers as factors necessary TO the
circulation of newspapers. The delay in
trains and the risk in handling Justify us
in maintaining former prices. Therefore
we agree to maintain the former uniform
prices on the New York dailies, and in no
event TO undersell the same"
