An Improvement on the Ravens.
Hartford CourGHt.


Mrs. Isabella Jameson Marshall,
formerly a teacher in our high school, is
spending a few days in this city. She lives
on an island in the Ohio river, near
Wheeling. During the recent flood in
that section some OF her neighbOrs found
their COW on the veranda one morning.
The house was surrounded with water,
and when they opened the door the COW
walked into the house, where she was
permitted to remain. They slept in the
chambers, and when they came down in
the morning a foot Of water covered their
first floor. AS soon as the door was
opened the cow at once inserted her head
in the stairway and walked up stairs.
The provisions in the house being either
in the cellar or spoiled by water, the
family had no food for two days except
milk from the COW, who thus proved a
welcome though unlimited guest. After
wards a supply of eatables was brought
them in small boats. The high water
kept them in the upper story upward of a
week, during which time the COW was fed
with corn husks which were taken from
the mattresses on their beds.

No one was surprised at the recent an
nouncement to the BOnapartists in Paris
that s'Prince Napoleon relies on the voice
of the people and will not sanction a re-
sort to violent measures" The Napoleons
have never failed TO obtain the sanction
of the people at the polls when their ad-
herents had the counting of the votes. A
Napoleonic returning board was worse
than even an American to electoral
commission.

In 1884 Mr.. John c. Stevens advertised
in the New York Courier and Enquirer
for a man ''white, black, red or any inter-
mediate color, who will undertake to
travel on foot ten miles in one hour"
To the man who should accomplish the
feat an offer of 81, 600 was made. Henry
Stanard, of Connecticut, competed for the
prize, and he won with twelve seconds to
spare. In April, 1863, L. Bennett ran
II miles $40 yards in one hour, and Raby
has walked ten miles in 1 hour IA minutes
40 seconds. What Mr.. Stevens thought
was a great task fifty years ago has been
accomplished, and it no longer excites re-
mark.

There is some slight prospect of the dis
organization of the New York Produce
Exchange. Quite number OF members
contemplate seeding from the exchange
and opening an open board for the trans
action OF all business in that line. If this
move becomes formidable of course it will
ieopardize the very existence of the ex-
change, but as that corporation is just
fixing to move into new and grander
quarters, it is not to be presumed that it
will give up without hard and prolonged
struggle.

FELISTE LA GRAVE.
A Story of Early French st. Louis.

BY MARY W. LoUGHBORoUGH.
The dark waters of De Sotos river sped
rapidly by, along the shore of an old french
village, years ago, one New Years morning
Swiftly this turbd water glided under the
shadow of solid ice gorge; gorge that had
but just formed and, it lifted its self in huge
shafts and creaking fragments as it groaned
with the weight and force of its own crash
ing masses.
Where this village stood there is now the
ambitious aspirant of central capital, even
the city Of St Louis.
Upon this morning of happy creole day

He had but just rolled up from some pink.
grey cloud pillows in the East; and he beam
ed down reserved and blinking as his fill
my couch gear dropped from about him.
But as he cleared the horizon glittering and
splendid, he met the uplfted eyes Of young
girl.
The bright dark eyes which looked from
the window, this festive morning, were pure
and guileless, a girlish innocence and truth
fitness shone in their clear depths, while an
almost infantile softnes of contour rounded
her fair cheek and throat She is watching
the sunrise upon her sixteenth birth day the
anniversary of her life's bright dawning, and
the commencement of a gay New Year
And SO in the blush of the morning Feliste
La Grave as she stands at the window young
happy and childlike, kisses the tiny cruciix
attached to the gold beads around her white

some young girl looks up and salutes her.
a delicate flush deepens upon the young
girls cheek as cantering by in his blue and

Gen. Dellassus staff lifts his hat, and bow
low to her. with a quick smile Of pleasure.
a light hand is laid upon her head.

Kneeling before her mother, Feliste rev.

placing her hand again upon the bowed head
said.
MAY God present to you ma cheye entam

Among the old French inhabitants ofSt.
Louis New Years day was ever one of visit
ing and congratulation. So, scarcely had
Felste breakfasted with madame La Grave
when guests began arriving. Elderly men with
white locks saluted the lady Of the man
son forgetting not the rosy cheeks Of Mad
emoisele Feliste; and the petite figure Of
Madame La Graves daughter was sometimes
lifted from the floor by the stout arms and
enthusiastic embrace of some grey headed
old Frenchman whose muscles were still
firm and sinewy, from trapping in the bracing
mountain air, though perhaps he might be
seventy or eighty and grandfather.
During the day the young spanish officer
arrived
He who had by galloping past in the early
morning received the first smile Of the New
