q law student at Harvard. He served IN
the House two years and was then pro-
NOTED to the Senate in 1870, theyoungest
man who had hitherto attained that dig
nifty. With the adjournment OF the Sem
ate in 1871 he opened law office at Bos-
ton. He was the only Democratic chair
man OF committee during his legislative
service, and he had hosts of friends
among his political adversaries. Lectu-
ring on Irish history and politics through
the neighboring New England towns not
only added materially TO his income, but
gave him valuable experience IN public
speaking.
The title Of General" which almost
invariably prefxes his name IN the pub
lie prints, is q sore point with him. He
cot it through appointment as Judge
Advocate General on Governor CASTOR s
staff.
Since he became a congressman-this
is his third term as such-Mr. Collins
has kept steadily at the law. He has a
place on the Judiciary Committee OF the

Especial telegram 10 the plspatch-I
ROANOKE, Va, June 9.-This afternoon at
O'Clock, while number Of colored work"
men employed on the repair OF the narrow
gauge railroad fridge were bathing In the
Roanoke river. Henry Dudley, a tall, ath-
leiic fellow, carried two Of his companions
into deep water TO give them lessons In
swimming. One OF the men, Fletcher
Saunders, became frightened and clutched at
Dudey's throat. While desperate strug-
gle was going on between these two the
third mss, half dead with fear, clambered up
the bank out OF danger. The men on shore
stood by paralyzed as Dudley and Saun-
ders shouted for help, the former
using every eXerton, but In VAN,
to free himself from the deadly embrace OF
the latter, and it was bali an hour after both
had sunk in twelve feet OF water before
party OF white men who were working a
short distance away learned OF the occur
renee, and they at once set to work and re-
covered the bodies, which were taken In
beat a mile further down the stream and
brought to this city. The circumstances OF
the drowning as described by eye-wtnesses
are said to have been horrible. The men
realized their position aud imDlored for help,
but such was the terror and confusion on
the bank that they were allowed to drown
without a single effort to assist them.

Power OF the Mind,

The Aroostook (Ae.) Pioneer relates an
instance OF the power OF the mind In pro-
longing life. A young man named John
Haley, who was married last fall, contracted
a severe cold while river driving that termi-
mated in pneumonia. His wife was 10 Mime
sots, where he intended to Join her as soon
as be got of the drive. A telegram was sent
to her and she arrived in season only TO see
her husband alive. He seemingly fought
against death to see her once more. AZ she
entered the room he rose in bed and remark
ed:
81 wanted TO see you and am now willing
TO CO."
After these words were spoken he fell
back upon the pillow, turned upon bis side,
and expired.

EMBROIDERY.

That peculiar species OF embroidery
borrowed from the frocks OF English
ploughboys and yokels, shocking,
has taken the towns fancy. 1t IS put
here, there, and everywhere, whether
appropriate or not.
Beaded shoulder-capes and Grape
shawls are the only forms Of street-wrap-
pings remaining. The latter are knotted
at the waist in front 50 that their ends
hang low upon the dress.
Stripes. mostly in hideous combina-

The most delightful of western cities is Lit tie Rock, the commerc al financial. social. geo. graphical, and railroad center of tho now booming state of Arkansas. have never seen a town where all the people were more prosper ous and happy than Little Rock, and striking characteristic of the residents is zeal for Little Rock. They are to a man head and ears in love with the town and wouldn't leave it to move anywhere this side of heaven, and not even for heaven without guaranty from Gabriel. the arohangel, or some other high authority, that they would surely get there. Even the Ken tuckian. who, in other places is always talking about the blue grass and longing to tread God s countrys soil once more, seems satisfied in Little Rock. not only permitting himself to be be spoken of as an Arkansan, but actually glo- rying in the name.
 Some three weeks ngo I left Chicago on route to Little Rock, with the mer- cury ego below, and the very engine 8 voice was hoarse with cold and his Hanks all tiecked with frost At St. Louis next day le mercury was higher but the wind was damp and marrow searching, and with the slush upon the streets was calculated to give John l.
