Sioux City Journal: The Yankton
train now makes regular trips between
Yankton and Sioux Falls via Elk Point,
and is reported to be running OF .time. A
train is run between this city and Jeffer'

company. The Big Sioux bridge was
still solid last night, and the gorge had
not broken above IL. Mail for stations
on both lines above Elk Point is made
up in the office here and dispatched by
way of Alton and Hawarden; and is de-
livered with but little delay. Mail fol
McCook and Jefferson is sent up from

CORA PEARLS SON.
Living in New York and Doesn't
Know His Grandfather.
From the Dublin Freeman.

From the Dublin Freeman.
Whoever may have been her father, it
seems probable that she had herself a
son, a living son, who, until recently,
was living In New York. Possibly such
strife" as this may have escaped the
adventures memory, or perhaps there
may have been reasons why she did not
allude to it, or rather did not have il
alluded to in her so-called "memoirs,"
which were written to order for her by a
Bohemian of Paris. The man who is
more than supposed by the few who know
more or less Of this history, and who sup
poses himself to be the son of the most
shameless courtesan or modern times, is
now about 26 years of age. He is rather
good looking. According to his story his
father was man who kept notorious
dancing room in London. and who lived
with his mother for several months in the
early portion of his career, before she
went to Paris.
His first recollections were of Paris,
where he says he was taken by his moth
er, whose presence be barely, yet dis
tinctly remembers, having seen her only
a few times when she abandoned him, af-
ter having, however. left sum of money
sufficient for his living expenses for sew
eral years in the hands of an old French
woman, who had become really attached
to MIN. and who was really his foster and
and only true mother. The boy soon got
to be French in his ways, as well as his
language, and at IS would pass anywhere
as gamin of Paris. BY this
time Cora Pearl had become
quite a celebrity of the gay capital, and
on several occasions his foster mother
the kind old French woman-had told
him that this notorious Cora Pearl was
his natural or unnatural mother. With
a natural curiosity the boy tried to call
on, or to get glimpse of, his maternal
parent; but his curiosity was not recip-
rOcated, and his efforts proved Ruthless.
Meanwhile, the money originally left for
his support got exhausted, and, worst of
all, the kind old French woman died,
leaving him to live. as so many other peo-
pie in Paris do, by his wits.
At this crisis of his fate he accidentally.
on one of the boulevards, attracted the
for, quite prominent character-an ad-
ventlIrer, like himself-an illegitimate
child, like himself-though of a much
higher social grade. This new party was
none other than the so-styled Count Louis
Napoleon Jerome Hartford de Beaure-
gard, the love-child of Louis Napoleon
before he became Emperor and Miss
Howard ("the beautiful Miss Howard"
as she was called at the time). Like all
the Napoleon line, right and left-handed,
he was smart, quick, bright, but also un.
scrupulous and dissipated. Anyhow, he
proved good friend to Cora PEARLS son,
who grew much attached to his patron.

more general phase OF the question, the
reason why we do not sell more largely to
Mexico is that we do not offer the terms
that England does. We are nearer
market. but we are also a much dearer
one. The Mexican merchant OF good
standing has no trouble in securing six
months credit in Manchester, say, and
even longer time, but his Boston or his
New York or New Orleans correspondent
will give only ninety days at the outside.
Then we do not offer inducements for an
interchange of commodities, which is alb
solutely indispensable TO the building up
of business. We should not shut our
gates. as we do, against what Mexico
has to seIlV
