"Who'ss Been Here Since I've Been
Gone"

Just as the boy of five years be-
gins to yearn for the time when he
can stand up and make q speech
''all by himself" so does the little
girl banker after a chance to show
that she can write a composition.
The funny part of the thing is that
the little darlings always tackle
some subject that they know moth
ing about, and as they generally
want to wind up with strong NOR
al, they make some amusing mis-
takes. A friend of ours stopped us
on the street the other day and told
US the following, which he will
swear is true, and as we never
caught him in lie we are con-
strained to believe him. He says
that little girl who attends one of
our schools was told that she must
write a composition, which she did.
On the day appointed she got up,
and in a strong voice, she announc-
ed her subject as 'Strong Love Re
warded." Her effort was as follows:
"Once there was a real nice
young lady with pretty eyes, and
pretty hair, and pretty teeth, and
gay and pretty clothes, and she low
ed a young man and he was poor
and handsome and he loved her too,
but her parents were down on him
because he couldn't put on style.
But she loved him with a strong
love and he loved her with a strong
love and it was rewarded-after-
wards. One day he won a big lot
of money and then her folks said he
was a daisy, and they got married,
not the folks, but her and him, and
they still loved each other with
strong love, but nobody brought
them no little babies, and they
didn't like it because they wanted
some to play with and take out in
the evening. But nobody brought
the babies, and a cruel war sprung
up, and the loving young
man joined the army, was taken
prisoner and kept for seven long
years, and never saw his loving wife
but he loved her through it all with
a strong love, and she loved him
through all his absence with her
strong love; then the war got stop
ped and he came home, and what
did he find? He found what he al
ways wished for-seven little chill
'dren that his loving wife had pre-
sented him with in his absence.
Thus was strong love rewarded

A TEXAS STAGE
Robbed of the United States Mails and
All the Cash-The Road Agents
Meet n Warm Reception, but Steadily
Return the Fire of the Passengers.

GALVESTON, February 5.-The News Con-
cho special says: "At l o'clock this morn
ing the stage going to Abilene met the in
coming mail from that town and gave the
information that it had been stopped
about one mile back and the mail robbed
of all its cash and also the passengers of
S25. The first named coach had aboard
Sergt. Turbow, of the State Rangers,
Sheriff Gerold, OF Don Juan county, n.
NJ Edgar Stetson, of Oshkosh, Wis. ;
Samuel l.. Cochran, OF Dallas, Tex,
and six United States soldiers, the
ranger and sheriff alone being armed
They ordered the driver to 90 ahead,
and quietly laid their pistols across their
laps. When the Dpot was reached the
coach was commanded to halt by two
masked mencoming from the mesquite. The
sheriff fired a shot, which was returned.
The ranger then took aim and fired. His
man threw his pistol into the air, put his
hands over his stomach and fell. The
horses started, and the firing from and
into the stage continued with great rapid
ity. Sheriff Gerold was hit in the shoul-
der, and second ball entered his
back and passed through his stomach.
A spent ball struck the coachman in
the back, and three shots passed
through his overcoat. He was not, how
ever, seriously hurt. The coach drove to
Concho as quickly as possible. Gerold
will die. This is the third robbery of the
same stage within a month. A posse to-
day found traces of wounded road-agent,
who had been carried off by his co mpan-
ions. Parties are securing the country.
A reward of $1,000 has been offered by the
citizens for the capture of the robbers"

Flood at wheeling, Va.

WHEELING, W.. VA, February 5.-The
river at midnight was thirty feet, and ris-

nearly all day, and very hard since dark.
The creeks and little streams hereabouts
are very much swollen.
A West Newton pa special says that
the gorge in the Youghiogkeny at West
Newton, which formed three or four days
ago, moved at o'clock this morning
and stopped again at Dawson. It
again started up and again stopped
near McKeesport, the tail of the gorge
being near West Newton in some volume.
The water behind the gorge accumulated
rapidly, and in a short time the whole of
the lower portion of West Newton was
under water and many families had to
be removed from houses from second-story
windows. Many narrow escapes were
made. At Coultersville family named
O'Donnell were nearly caught in the
flood. The family of Mr.. Thomas Fin
lay, of West Newton, also barely
escaped with their lives. Several small
houses, stables and outbuildings were car
ried away, and the river banks clear
from West Newton to Mckeesport are
piled high with ice and wrecks of
houses, furniture, etc At Alpsville Big
ley's coal tipple was carried away, causing
a loss OF about $1,000.

He thanked the convention for the honor
bestowed, and delivered an address setting
forth the desirability and Importance of
the improvement of the Mississippi river.
He declared that in no manner had the
provident care of the Creator for our ideal
republic been made so manifest as in To-
eating the Mississippi river. A great en-
pire in the West now demanded the full
improvement of that river, so as not only
to float the commerce of the country, but
to retain the good will and fellowship be-
tween the sections.
A resolution was adopted providing for
tR, appointment of committees on Gre
dentials, rules and permanent organiza-
ton, each State to be represented on the
committees.
Commissioner West, District OF Column
bia, welcomed the delegates in brief
address. He said: 'rhis convention
stood pre-eminent in importance among
conventions held here. 1t concerned the
welfare of the whole people. Strike from
the map the Mississippi river, or obstruct
its flow, and decay and deterioration would
rapidly spread itself throughout the coun-
try" The convention selected commit
tees and then took a recess.

No further particulars. He was manager
of the famous Polk silver mine, and left
here in November with $4,000 United
States exchange to pay off the debts of the
concern and start the mill. Soon after his
arrival in Mexico he wrote back that he
had struck very rich ore, many pockets
running thousands of dollars per ton, and
would start the mill as soon as supplies
were received from Culiacan. He was on
his way there for that purpose when
killed. The mine is high up in the Sierra
Madre mountains, and the country be-

Busy as Beavers Saving Property.

CINCINNATI, February SO O'Clock P. .M
The river continues to rise at an alarming
rate, and now stands fifty-four feet two
inches, rise of three and half inches
in the last hour. At this rate the gas will
be shut off by tomorrow night and the
waterworks stopped by Thursday. A
light rain fell during the afternoon, but
for the last hour heavy rain has been
falling. Weather calm. Business in the
lower part of the city is suspended and all
energies bent to saving property, hand
ling goods from the lower to the upper
portion of buildings and to higher locali-
ties, giving employment to a number of
men. Apparently all the teams in the city
were gathered in the lower streets hauling
goods to higher localities The flood so
far has caused no damage to river craft,
nor to property along shore more than by
mere overflow. Cellars in all parts
below Second street are filed with
water, the railroad tracks Icing cov-
cred. But all trains are running
and departed as usual tonight, except the
Cincinnati Southern, which cannot reach
the Grand Central depot on account of the
break in Mclean avenue. No freight is
coming except such as can be Immediately
removed. This gives an idea OF one fea-
ture of the losses, that is, the interruption
to business. The coal elevators will be
obliged to cease work by tomorrow,
and some of them are already rerlov-
ing horses and wagons from the stables.
Licking river is reported ffty-five feet
and still rising. 1t is higher than ever
known. The opinion is general among
citizens who have been watching the river
and its conditions that the rise will ex-
ceed that of last year, when it reached
sixty-six feet four inches. 1t is not likely
there will be anything like so much loss
as then, as the people are better prepared
to meet the emergency.

High Water and Freshet at Cleveland.

CLEvELAND,O o. February 5.-Floods have
been feared in this part of the State, but
thus far no great damage has been re-
ported. Here the river has raised 10 nearly
a level with the docks, and an ice gorge is
threatened at the viaduct. Steam tugs
cleared the channel, and tonight the dam
ger of freshet is believed to be past.
Trains this morning on three lines of rail
way running south, ran through a few
inches OF water in several places. The in
undation was caused by the river and trib-
utaries overfiowing previous to the ice
moving out of the lake. The freshet has
subsided in that direction. AT Finley the
gas works and streets are under water. At
Arlington, in the same county, great guam
titles of ship timber were swept away. The
Connotton Valley railway tracks, from fif-
teen to forty miles south, are frequently
under water, but no washouts are feared.
On the Cleveland, Lorraine and Wheeling
railroad there is no high water, but south
all streams are swelling.

The truce between resistant Bishop
Potter, of New York, and the Rev. Heller
Newton, rector Of All Souls church, New
York, is shortly to come to an end, as the
latter has expressed his determination
10 resume his critical lectures on the
Bible, and he will undoubtedly do so.
lie has not, he saws, advanced any hereti-
cal opinions Of his own, but has mainly
repeated the views of divers examiners of
Germany and Holland into orthodox the.
ology. These opinions are new, however,
to number of his opponents, who are in
cliued TO regard them as original attacks
on the authenticity of the Scriptures The
most liberal Episcopalians say that they
are not concerned, individually or person.
silly, with his criticisms simply as such
hat that he has no right to deliver them
from an Episcopal pGlpit, because he thus
seems 10 have the sanction Of the Church.
Mr.. Newton is, therefore, likely to bc
called upon to answer for these sins of
commission at the bar OF the Church, not
under n new, but by the revival of an old
Prescntment, which has been allowed TO
rest, in the hope that he would cease
TO bring scandal upon the Church.
From the letter OF DR.. Rylauce, published
elsewhere, it will be seen that Mr.. Newton
is likely to have earnest defenders, as he
is, after all that has been said, simply fol-
lowing in the print of sanity feet. DR..
pvIsnna W. is rector of 81. Marks
church. New York, makes lniS clear and
'ealls attention TO certain views in regard
to the Old Testament held by many dis
tiuguished theologians Phi and out OF the
English Church. These are similar to,
il not the saue as, those propounded by
the preacher at All Sortls. What the out
side theologians believed, of c0Trss, does
not m4tter in this case; but the friends Of
Mr.. Newton naturally think that the
opinions of Episcopal bishops and priests
are not so easily disposed Of Mr.. New
ton, who is the son OF an Episcopal clergy
man, is a man less than forty, earnest, con
scientious, able, eloquent, and noted for
his broad and independent course as a
clergyman, Convinced that Christianity
is injured by false doctrines and erroneous
interpretations, he wishes to clear these
away, SO that the cause of religion may
be benefited and the obstacles to perfect
faith removed. Believing in good works
above everything else, he has been Asso-
ciated in divers practical reforms with men
like o. b. rockingham, Felix Adler and
Robert Collyer. His congregation admire
him enthusiastically; they are wholly in
sympathy with him in his present atti-
tude, and fully sustain him in respect to
his critical lectures. The upshot of the
present controversy will doubtless be the
withdrawal of Heber Newton from the
Episcopal fold, and his establishment OF
an independent ministry-a step, it is un-
derstood, that a number of his congrega-
ton already advocate. This is what he
must do 10 he consistent. He must 60

WAsH1Setcx. February 5. = Surgeon
General Hamilton, OF the Marine Hos
pital Service, stated to-day that the re-
ported Irregularities in connection with
the construction OF the Marine Hospital
at Memphis, can be easily explained. The
original appropriation, he said, was S5G,-
900; to secure the site cost $4,000, leaving
only S25, 900 available. When the bids
were offered for constructing the hospital
the lowest was S3S,OOO. The lowest bid
wss accepted, and Congress subsequently
appropriated $4,000 additional to meet
the excess. 1t was aiterward found that
the plans OF the supervising architect did
not include the heating apparatus, terrace,
fences, etc, and an additional appropria-
ton of $4,000 was therefore necessary. If
there was any blame in the matter, said
DIR. Hamilton. it should belong to the su-
perpising architects Office for a failure to
make the proper estimates.
