Only ono Case of Many.

CLarG Belle, IN the Cincinnati Enquirey.
There are scores and scores of mesaI-
liances in New York which never get into
the paper; they occur every day, and /
venture to say that a majority OF them
result from the same blunder in training
that Morosini made. / remember a few
years ago two young sisters, daughters
Of millionaire, who were brought home
from the same convent school that Vic
tOria Morosini attended. They had been
there some years, and when released they
were taken home TO a dismal sort of
house, with only their father, a widOwer.
a maiden aunt and bachelor uncle for
companions. 1 happened to be present
one day shortly after their return, when
one Of them, in the presence of their
father, asked the uncle to buy them q COPY
of the last Police Gazette. They explained
to the astonished father that they had
been in the habit of seeing IL occasionally
at the convent school. That made him
all the more strict with them, but 1t was
Of no avail. In six months they had mar
ried the first men who had made love to
them-men whom they had encountered
by chance. They proved utterly WORTH
less, and when the millionaire died he left
the girls only $4,000 year, and that so
tied up that their husbands could not
squander it, and the bulk Of his millions
IS to go to his grandchildren.

however, in government circles that ne

ICEBERGs IN PROCESSION.
How Mountains of Ice Float south with
the Arctic Current.

How Mountains of Ice Float south with
the Arctic Current.
During the last week, SAYS a st. John
| IN, f. letter, we have witnessed a most
unusual phenomenon at this season of the
year. A long procession of iceberes has
been passing our shores, slowly pursuing
their southern march on the bosom of the
Arctic current, and we have not yet seen
tne last OF these glittering wanderers of
the deep. Frequently 60 or 20 were visi-
bic at the same time from the top of Sig
nal Hill. They are of all shapes and sizes
some lofty and turreted, some dome
SNAPPED or fiat, some having a series Of
beautiful crags and pinnacles. A few were
of immense size-low, fiat islands of ice.
saw one at the entrance Of Conception
Bay, near Baccalien Island, which was
not less than two miles in length An
other in the same neighborhOOd was esti-
mated to be over three-quarters of mile.
One popularity Of them was that they
appeared to follow each other as if ar
ranged in single line Of march, but al
irregular distances. This is accounted
for by the suppOsition that the bulk OF
Them are fragments of an enormous ice
mass WAIch was seen on the Labrador
coast some time ago. If the accounts OF
two Captains who were close TO it can be
relied on, this was the largest iceberg
ever seen in northern ATTITUDES. One OF
the Captains estimated it to be fifteen
miles in length and three or four ia
breadth; the other made it thirty miles.
Allowing a margin for the excited imagi-
nation of these worthy shippers, this
must have been an astonishing island of
ice. AS it did not make its appearance
off our shares in its full dimensions the
great probability is that it grounded on
some rocky ledge. BY the action of the
summer sun its joints had become loosen
ed, and by the rising and falling tides and
the force of the waves, as it hung on
the ledge, great fragments were snapped
off, and falling, one by one, with sulIen
plunge into the waves, fOated off as ice
bergs, thus in part creating the ghostly
procession which has been filing along
our shores for the last ten days. All OF
the immense group, however, could not
have had the same origin. '"Fhe oldest
inhabitanp' does not remember anything
approaching to the ice phenomena Of this
year. In ordinary years few icebergs
are seen after Aug. /. But now we have
huge fleet Of them sailing past in the
middle OF September and chilling our at
mosphere. Since the beginning of Febru~
ary stream OF icebergs and foes has
been passing at intervals. Some great ice
movement must have occurred in the
Arctic regions of an unusual character
to cause such an abnormal disagreement
and call INTO existence the vast ice ar
gosles of the last seven months. As a
consequence, the supply OF the next few
years may be comparatively small. and
we may have but few of these mighty
wanderers of the deep, the Arctic ware
houses being temporarily exhausted.

The rear of the fourth ward was thrown
into fever of excitement this morning
by the circulation of a report to the effect
that Georgia Potts, a bright mulatto

from the effects of an overdose of some
deadly drug, taken with view
of destroying child. A few DAYS ago
she discovered that she was enciente,
and to relieve her condition she took the
drug. This afternoon while her remains
were on the way to the cemetery Coroner

A WIDOW OF FORTY E1LoPEs.
FOrsaking Her Fiancee and Fleeing with

HorsaAInS her F1ancee and Fleeing with
Beardless Boy.
The particulars of peculiar elopement
case, says an Urbana, o., special,
have just come to light here. Chas.
Bassett, aged 20, clerk in a boot and shoe
store, disappeared two days ago. At the
same time Mrs. Lydia Weaver, a hand
some widow of 40, disappeared. 1t is now
known that they eloped. Mrs. Weaver.
during her husbands lifetime, was one of
the handsOmest and best dressed women
1nUrbana. Since his death she has been less
conspicuous, but none the less bewitching.
The surprise is that from her host Of
admirers she should select this beardIess
boy. What adds to the wonder is that
she was to have been married next Mon
day to Mr.. Upton, of Philadelphia. An
explanation of the elOpement is her de-
sire to avoid meeting this disappointed
man, and to be out of the reach Of meddIe-
some, gossiping neighbors.
Young Bassett had been so demOnstra-
tive in his attentions to the widow that he
mad been ordered TO cease his visits to the
hotel where she was boarding. This graf
ed harshly ON her feelings and no doubt
helped her to the decision to leave Ur-
bana.
They met at village not far away.
then drove to Piqua, where they took the
train for st. LOUIS. No tidings of their
marriage has been received.

of provisions. Capt. Hofschild then
abandoned his vessel and took charge Of
the brig, bringing his crew of ii men
with him. He has now two sick men on
