TIE FRASKTowN FLOOD.
How the Farmers are Benefited
BY It.

By It.
The theory that Nature always
furnishes an indemnity for losses
|, sustained through its destructive
ness is being well exemplitied by a
disaster which about four years
ago almost destroyed Franktown.
Most of the APPEALS readers re-
member the time when an avalanche
OF sand and rocks, accompanied by
q flood of water. came down from
the mountains upon Franktown.
the flood was occasioned by the
bursting of the dam which backed
up several million gallons of water.
The break. was duly predicted by
Mrs. Bowers. the Seeress. whose
little cottage was hardly removed
from the course Of the disaster.
There are severa, incidents con-
nected with the affair not reported
Ia the papers at the time. For in
stance, people who were in Frank
town at the time say that when the
dam broke, boulders weighing sew
ersl tons came troop;ug down the |
canyon as if they. were Lurrying /
away to escape the food and that
the grinding together Of these boul-
ders and tbs tremendous percussion
evolved sufficient heat to raise the
temperature of the water slmo5t to
the boiling point. The water was
SO hot that one could hardly bear
hand III it. Another curious thing
was the flooding ont of colony of
polecats which were encamped in
he thick unGerbrush of the ravine.
rhe crush of the rocks reduced the
to sausage meat in q mo-
nent and it is thought that nearly
hundred were killed. The odo.

Tins Kit.


True affection and human feeling
are the same diamond when seen in
rough as when displayed in polished
form. No refinement could add any
pathos to this picture of artless sor-
row and sympathy:
1t surprised the bootblacks and
newsboys around the postoffice the
other day to see "Limpy Tim" come
among them in quiet way, and hear
him say
"Boys, 1 want to sell my kit.
Here's two brushes, a hull box of
backing. good stout box, and the
outfit goes for two shilin's."
"Goin' away, Tim ?" queried one.
"Not 'zactIy, boys. but L want a
quarter bad just now"
"Goln' on a 'scursion ?" queried
another.
One Of the lsrds passed over the
change and took the kit, and Tim
walked straight to the counting-room
of a daily paper, put down his money
and said
II guess L kin write it if you will
give me pencil"
With slow moving fingers he wrote
the death notice.
1t went in the paper almost as he
wrote it, as follows: "Died-Ted--of
scarlet fever, aiged three yere. Fun
eral tomorrow, gon up to HeYin !;
left one brother"
"Was it your brother?'' asked the
cashier
Tim tried to brace up, but he
couldn't. The big tears came up, his
chin quiyered. and he pointed to the
notice on the counter and gasped-
81 had to sell my kit to do it, b.
but he had his arms aroun' my neck
when he d-died."
He hurried away home, but The
news went to the boys, and they
gathered in a group and talked. Tim
had not been home an hour before a
bare-footed boy left the kit on the
doorstep, and in the box was bou-
quet of flowers which had been pur-
chased in the market by pennies con-
tributed by the crowd of ragged, but
big@hearted ,urchins. Did God ever
make heart which would not res
pond if the right chord was touched :?

Checking a Nightmare.

A Chinese physician says that in a
case OF nightmare, instead of rudeIy
awaking the sleeper by bring in a
light, you should "bite his toe"
This is a very simple remedy at
least Mrs. PoppIeton thought so. for
she treasured the recipe up in one of
the chambers of her memory, and
the other night when Poppleton was
seized with tWo-horse power night
mare. seventeen hands high, and in a
muffied and ghostly voice muttered,
"Owhowhwoh !! Ughughughuhu!' ~ as
if a circus elephant was performing
tricks on his stomach. she quietly
slid to the foot of the bed, and was in
the act of seizing his big toe in her
teeth, when the dreamer gave Wig
orous kick and Mrs. Poppleton was
shot over the tailboard of the bed on
to the floor, with four teeth half way
down her throat. The noise aWak-
ened Poppleton. and hearing his wife
screaming at the rate of forty knots
an hour, he thought no less than ten
thousand masked burglars were in
the room, and without striking a
light, he seized a chair and wildly
struck right and left all over the
room, nearly Draining Mrs. Porple-
ton before he discovered the true sit
uation Of affairs. 1t was a terrible
mistake, and Mrs. Poppleton was
laid up two weeks and five days, and
the first thing she did when she re-
covered sufficient strength was to
smash a hundred and seventy five
dollars worth of Chinese curiosities
she had purchased at the Centennial,
and she says if she were a man she
would go to China and not return
home until she had split open that
physician from figure-head to rudder.

"The Bloody Shirt. "

Several of our contemporaries ac-
cuse The Tribune of trying to "wave
the bloody shirt" The Tribune has
repeatedly given evidence of its de-
sire for entire reconciliation between
the sections, and for progress in the
South in manufactures and commerce
as well as in political federation and
general intelligence. 1t has gladly
recognized every new fe ature of
Southern prosperity, and, it is prob
ably safe to say, has done sonnet thing
to help along their developments. 1t
did all in its power to direct the at
tention of the people of the North to
the Atlanta and Louisville EXPOSE
tions, and has just been urging North
ern manufacturers to aid in making
the Worlds Fair at New Orleans
next year q success. But the Trib-
a0ae cannot shut its eyes to the facts.
If men are still murdered in the South
for their political opinions. if negroes
are still intimidated and deferred
from voting by threats and violence,
the Tribune cannot ignore such things
because it wishes we'll to the South
ern people. If to denounce political
outrages is to "waye the bloody
Shirt" we shall wave it as long as
the outrages are committed /; and in
that case not those who denounce'
them. but those who commit them,
will be to blame. So long as such
things continue, the Tribune will
continue to denounce them. If that
be "waiving the bloody shirt" then
make the most of it IN. Y. TFi6urse..

FIVE Thousand Dollars a Pound.

In his last letter to The AHanta
Constitution "BiIl Arp" says
AS a general thing the girls show
too much anxiety to marry. They
are too sweet on the boys. They
ought to stand off and look reserved
and precious and put on Jerusalem
airs and say, "young man you don't
know who you are fooling with. Pm
treasure, am, Iweigh lis pounds
and am worth $1,000 pound" Well
they are. A good. nice, healthy girl
who can make her own dress and get
up good supper for company and is
not ashamed to wait on the table
while they are eating, is just worth
about $1,000 pound. But that is
nothing compared to what they will
be worth. Why, Mrs. Arp has cut
out and made up at least 1000 gar
mentS of one sort and another. She.
has sewed 100000 stitches, and patch
ed and darned and washed faces and
feet and combed hair innumerable.
She has tied up 500 sore toes and cut
fingers and burns and bruises and
kissed away thousand tears. She
has watched 'em by night and day,
and keeps on watching; and right
now, while L am writing on my
piazza, she is looking away up the
big road, and says: "I'm afraid
something will happen to them boys;
they are too little to go on by them
selves" They are two little neph-
ews here just out of school, and they
and Carl have all got horse or colt
apiece. and have gone off on "scur-
sion," and / call 'em the infantry
cavalry and tell Mrs. Arp it is all
right, but she sits here sewing with
her specks on and ever and anon she
looks up the road and says: "Those
children have overstayed their time.
Pm afraid something has happened"
If they don't come back soon | know
that | will have to start after them
'em, for that is always the way. Mrs.
Arp is worth at least $1,000 a pound,
and she weighs right smart and keeps
a getting heavier. 1 am rich, l am.
feel wealthy when L look at her.
