THERE is something romantic
and pathetic in the appearance OF
Harriet Lane Johnson in Wash
ington at the present time. As a
beauty and social leader in her
maiden days. and the niece of
President Buchanan, Harriet Lane
was mistress of the White House
in his administration. She was sub
sequently married, her husband
beng prominent and wealthy
citizen of Baltimore. Fate has
however, visited her unkindly.
She has lost her husband, the two
children who were the fruit of her
nuptials, and her ample fortune,
leaving her a poor and childless
widow. 1t Is reported tnat Miss
Cleveland, hearing OF her presence
in Washington, will invite her a. I.
guest at the White House. The
meeting of these two women,
under the circumstances, will be q
remarkable event.

ADVENT OF MAY.


AS we take our pencil in hand all
intatuation seems to seize upon us
to indite an article on the season,
and we give rem to the impulse. .-
Never, perhaps, has the advent Of
Spring been hailed by the people
OF the United States with so gen
eral delight, as, with probably the
single exception of New Mexico,
all sections of the country have
experienced an unprecedented rig
orous Winter. The clouds which
fit and sport across and around the
heavens are mellow and soft, and
draw from the most stolid mortals
expressions of admiration, and an
innate them with feelings akin to
those of ccstacy. And our sun
subsequently, as seen rolling be-
hind Baxter Mountain-who can
paint their grandeur, as the horiz-
on overhanging the Patos is, not
tinted, but heavily laid with gor-
geous hues of crimson, purple, and
gold. And when the moon takes
her place. she does, indeed, look
the very Queen. The floors Of lea
ven appear to have beVn raised.
and ones vision can penetrate hear
to the eternal Throne. Morbid,
indeed must be the instincts OF the
man who can walk our streets ut
night without noticing the heavens
resplendent with charms--the pale
moon beaming upon him, and cast
ing its retulgent rays upon his
pathway-without feeling impress
cd with the grandeur overhanging
hlm, and in his heart Of hearts feel
sensible that above the open sky
there are myriads of angelic forms,
and the great Architect OF all, shut
ont from mortal eye bv the silvery
cleuds.
What a lesson the seasons teach
us. In Autumn, Summer rests;
the leaves fall and become the
germs of future fruition; the roses
hide their heads and withhold their
fragrance; Nature stands forth
without embeiishmcnt, and all Il
round man are spread the emb.cms
of lite and death. The stars. as
they twinkle in the heavens-the
sun rs it ascends the caste II and
descends the western shore Of the
horizon-the moon, as it lifts It's
round face, and takes its grand
rounds"-the waters, as they work
on through streamlst and river
all these are emblems of life, not
only present, but eternal. The ma
ked trees, the leafess bushes, the
shrivelled shrubbery, and the alb
sence of birdlings-these tell rs OF
death, and are sermons delivered
us by the Almighty, and we cannot
turn deaf ears thereto.
May, the queen month of the
year, is now with us, and spent
half of its annual visit. OF the
twelve sisters, none can compare
with May. The babbling bro k,
the warm sun, the starry heavens,
the forest leaves, the singing Of the
birds, the groves, and atmosphere,
all render it heart and soul inspir-
ing. The generous sun of May
dispels the chilly air usually be
queathed by April, and his golden
rays gild all the green glories of
luxuriant summer. The babbling
brooks and silver streamlets laugh
with joy as they dance along over
pebbled battoms, and flash back
dimplsd smiles as the slanting sun
beams kiss their surface-trom ev-
cry tree top the songs of sweet
voiced birds swell grand choruses

Suicide of a Count.

MONTREAL, September 11.-This after
noon the Count H. Wilhelm Browne, of
Berlin, who arrived by steamer this morn
ing from New South Wales, shot himself
In front of st. Lawrence Hall, on St. James
street. The particulars are as follows: The

guilty couple, came here, where he found
his wife and her paramour living at one of
the hotels. He visited her and entreated her
to return, but without avail. He then
went to st. Lawrence Hall and had din er,
after which he walked cody out on the
sidewalk and discharged his revolver at
his left ear, the bullet going through the
ear. He was conveyed to Notre Dame
Hospital, where he lies in o dying condi-
tiOn.

A Young Mans Fearful Fall.

LEBANON, Pa, September "a week ago
Henry Kick and his wife and their nine
teen-year-old son, Clayton, went to Mar
row Valley in search of herbs. While
there the boy disappeared, and after q
long search the parents were obligsd to
return without him. For five days the
father has been searching the region for the
lost boy. Night before last, as he was
about to give up the hunt, he heard a
groan which seemed to come from a deep
hole in the side of the mountain. Leaning
down he shouted and received faint reply.
He quickly went for help, and by the aid
of rope the young man was drawn up to
the surface. His legs were broken, and he
was nearly dead, having been without food
for nearly a week. He had fallen into an
abandoned coal-shaft, one hundred. feet
deep. 1t is feared that his legs must be
amputated.

Great Loss of Property Reported and o

MILWAUKEE, WIS, September 1O-News
received from all directions show that the
late storm was one of the most severe that
has prevailed on Lake Michigan in many
years. Until more complete advices are
received, it will be impossible to state the
actual number Of lives lost or the amount
of damage to property. The following is
list of those lost on the schooner Advance,
near Sheboygan; Captain NJ. Paulson and
his son George, Martin Pierson, Henry Holt
and Thos. Ingerberetson. Jacob Raum,

Paulson to beach the Advance to save life,
but he refused and dropped anchor in the
midst OF the storm, hoping to save the ves-
sci and cargo. The sea broke over the ves-
sci and she filled and capsized. The crew
attempted to make land, but with the ex-
ception of Raum all were drowned in the
breakers. An unknown schooner. supposed
to be the Milton, of this port, is reported
driven ashore north of Two Rivers. Moth
ing has been seen or heard Of the crew, and
it Is believed all hands are lost. All safe
harbors on the west shore of Lake Michigan
are filed with vessels which have gone
in to seek shelter: Vessels are reported
ashore at various points, but the extent OF
damage and loss Of life can not yet be
learned. The propellers Empire State and
Roanoke are badly stove at Sand Beach.
The breakwater at the latter place is dam
aged to the extent Of SAC, 900. The schooner
George Sherman, loaded with coal, ran on
Simmons Reef and pounded so hard that
she broke into; crew were all saved. Un-

he was met in the road by two ruffians who

monstrated, telling them that it was out of
his line of business, and he
didn't know how. Nothing would
satisfy them and they ordered him
not only to get out and play, but to bet his
money. Being forced to get out, he did so.

dead rallied, however, and is now out of
