Floating Villages.
IITTIBg COMMUNITIES THAT LIVE ON THE
 < CLUSTERED CANAL BOATS.

People who visit the neighborhood of the Atlantic or Erie Basins will notice the snoke curling from the little stunted stovepipes projecting above the neat white cabins of the scores of canal boats that remain there the winter through. About the decks, when the snow is on, will be seen the tracks left by the shoes of little ones, the French-heeled shoes of maidens and the broad soles of the men. There are other easily-found signs which show that in every boat a family is living, and that, in fact, these collections of boats are communities, separate and distinct like villages in the country. These families are bound to- gether by social ties and by similar bus mess interests. The boats furnish them their means of livelihood, and are their homes the year round. They inter marry, and many man among them was born on boat of parents who were on the canal about all their lives before him. More quiet, peaceable, industri- ous communities cannot be found than the villages floating in these basins.
 The community of interests among them is so strong that society was formed some years ago for the advance ment of their pecuniary and other in terests. By its efforts the agitation was started which first took the toll from the unloaded boat and at last gave New York State its free canal. The society is now called the Canal Boat Owners and Commercial Association. 1t num- bers over 200 members.-N. Y Sun.

ling fell in love with pretty chamber

mistress to Europe
Mr.. Morosini is still greatly distressed
by the affair, and spends most OF MS time
at homo. in Yonkers, walking up ana
down the long piazza Of his elegant house
"My God" said he to reporter, raising
his hands above his head, ito think that
my daughter should have done such
thing. We we're all a. happy together as
the day il long, and now there is nothing
but sorrow in the house, My children
disgraced, and my wife and myself broken
hearted. The papers have attributed to
me violent threats ainst that man, ana

hope / am dreaming. Who would NOT
hate u miserable wretch that would come
into a mans family and lead an Innocent
girl to disgrace her mother ana Dreak up
her home? No one can tell now Ieel
unless he has known q fathers grief
That girl was what loved most in the

for a child did it for her. worked for
her and loved her from the day she was
born until she went away and leit

lavished hundreds Of thousands OF dol

when could do anything TO please her.
1t seems impossible impossible! Ii she
had only fallen in love with any decent
young fellow, even if he hadn't cent,

But to become fascinated with man like
that! His head was shaped, upon my
word, lust like q baboon's, and no had the
most miserable, puny form Of any man

once, and asked him to show me his
wound. He drew up his trousers, and
upon my word his legs were like pipe
stems. And then they say | saw him
with his arm around mydaugbter's waist.

Mr. Norosini said he could not tell
what he would do il his daughter came
back with her husband, but he would GER
tainly never tolerate or recognize him.
His friends were helping him, and he
hoped that he might be able to separate
them. The first thing he asked when
told that the reporter had spoken with
those who had seen her was, "Is she
happy" When told that she seemed 80
he seemed very glad.
