1t looks as though woman

They Make Good Mothers.

Lucy III. Hooper's Paris Letter.
The queens. of the deIni-mOnde are al
most invariably good mothers. Their
daughters are educated in fashionable
schools, reared in fashionable converts.
and brought up far from every sight or sound
of vice. When a handsome dOwry Is forth
coming, they often leave the school room
for the altar. If a brilliant marriage is ar
ranged, the mother usually bids farewell
forever to her child. In many cases the
poor girl has not an idea of who and what
her mother really is till after she leaves
school. A peculiarly trying case took
place some years ago in this city. A woman
who had been famous demi-mondaine I'M
der the empire and who possessed an enor-
nous fortune, married her only child, a
daughter. to a Belgian count, bestowing
upon her dOwry of $500. 600. She altered
and partly rebuilt her hotel, arranging
the upper floor for the accommodation of
the newlymarried couple. But the day
after the wedding the count exacted from
his bride promise that she would never see
her mother more, The pair left Paris for
Belgium, and from that hour the mother
has been wholly ignored by the daughter.
who does not even answer her letters. A
terrible retribntion-yet who can say that il
is wholly undeserved? The true tradegy of
the relations between such a mother and
her daughter has still to be written. The
French sentimentalities respecting ina
mere" still clog the pen of the dramatist
when treating this theme. When will the
stern, strong writer arise to tell for us the
story of girl so situated and 10 whom the
bestowal of existence has only proved a
curse? 1t is terrible theme. and demands
f0rcible and pitileSS treatment.

The fire fiend visited New Richmond.

out in the store building occupied by Oscar
F. Brown, on account of a defective
chimney. The fire extended to the insur-
ance Office of Judge William Lambdln,
then to j. A. Sabin 81 Sons grocery, then
to Todd's jewelry store, then to the barber
shop of c. A. Lnight, taking off One-half
block of our business houses. The post

uated in the store of j. A. Sabin &c Son.
The entire contents were saved. S. f.
Browns general merchandise store was a
total loss; insurance, 81, 900. Judge Lamb
denis loss was partial, no insurance. The
judge was seriously injured by a falling
wall. j. A. Sabin & Sons store had an
insurance of 1000. The loss
is partial, goods mostly saved.
The building was owned by DIR. II. c.

A. Knights barber shop lost but little. DR..
Murdoch owned the building. The
insurance is $1,000. The store

by N. S. Clapp, total loss; insurance
$500; he also owned the build
ing occupied by Stone, no
insurance. Mr.. Clapp's loss was about
Zoo. The basement of Browns store
building was occupied by l.. d. Woodruff,
marble cutter, was $500; no in
surance. Only the heroic efforts of the
fire department and our citizens saved the
city from the most disastrous obstruction of
the whole business section, James Barry
was seriously injured by fall from burn
ing building. An intervening space of so feet
between Wright's barber shop and John
Gillen's building, proved the salvation of
the Commercial hotel and half of the city.
The fire commenced at one end of frame
row. There was no wind. which aided the
fire department materially in its efforts
TO save the city from full half destruction.
o. F. Brown loses all notes and books, the
safe door having been left open. The loss
of the same is very large.
