that one day during spring freshet the
water rose and carried it out into Lake
Michigan, together with its contents.
For time Stanford seemed to prosper
in small way, but year after his mar
rage dame fortunes smile turned to
frown. Business fell off to nothin5, and
the young lawyers income stopped.
Then Mrs. Stanford thought it ADVISABLE
70 return to the home of her parents
until things picked up. A fire came and
swept away Stanford's Office, destroying
his library and leaving him with no way
to continue his business. About this
time political campaign was at hand
and the nomination to the Office of
prosecuting attorney for the county was
rendered him. He accepted it and when
the votes were counted found he was
showed under. Disguised, disheartened
and poor, Stanford accepted an invita-
ton of his brother, who had gone to
California and emigrated to the Pacific
Coast. 1t is interesting to know that
the man who debated Stanford and sent
him to Frisco and wealth, is employed
as copyisS in a Milwaukee law Office.
Since his departure Mr.. Stanford has
not set foot in Port Washington.

Another Bed Storm.

CHICAGO March 26.-Another bad storm
is prevailing in the West. Dispatches from
many points in North: m Illinois and Iowa
report the prevalence yesterday of a severe
sleet storm. Everything is covered with
ice, and in many places large limbs have
broken from trees under the weight Great
damage to wheat and fruit is feared. In
this city and vicinity the sleet which fell
all of yesterday changed this morning to
heavy rain.
A dispatch from St. Ignace, Mich, says:
"The first passenger train from Marquette
sirce Wednesday arrived last night. This
morning another howling blizzard prevails
and no trains have gone out The train
which left here last night is fast in the
snow near Allenvillc and the prospects are
good for another blockade of several days.
Dispatches from Sioux City say that
disastrous flood is threatened there, and
from Iankton comes the news that the
Missouri River near there is rising rapidly
and threatens life and property.

WAGES WORSE TRAN SLAVERY.
English Workwomen who Might Envy the
Black Slaves OF the Soud:,n.
Gondon Saturday Ecview)

(London Saturday Ecview)
The English drudge rises early and
goes to bed late, working eight or twelve
hours day, either il her miserable gar
ret or IL huge manufacturing hive.
Pinched With hunger and cold, worn out
with labor, exposed to temptation and
degradation, her ioyless life stretches
behind her and before her, with no
pleasures to look back upon, no hope to
look forward to. The wages she earns,
those wages which proudly separate her
from the slave, are barrel y sufficient to
keep body and soul together, till at last
the body gives way or the soul revoits.
Then comes the inevitable end, and 8
verdict of ssDeath from starvation or
''Found drowned" closes the scene.
The Scudani girl is taken from her
parental hut of sticks and mud and sold
to a respectable family or perhaps very
rich one. In the first case, she will
probably be alone; in the second, she
will find others like herself. She repre-
sents so much capital invested, and is
looked after with equivalent care. Size
is servan: whose wages have been paid
twenty years in advance. It IS true they
have not been paid to her, but that is ali
the better for the girl. She IS well
housed and well fed, and wants for
nothing. She. is Immediately provided
with decent clothes and Sci to house
work. She has charge of the family
washing and cleaning, and of the kitch
en-, and generally fulGlls these duties
much better than a native paid servant
would do. She is under no special re-
straint, accompanies her mistress shop
ping or does the marketing herself, and
gossips her ill with the neighbors as She
hangs out the linen on the house top or
sweeps the front door step.
Her work is by no means hard, and
after the fashion of Egypt, where every
man is brother and every woman a
sister, she is looked upon by the family
quite as one of themselves. Speaking
from personal observation, Te may affirm
that the black women are almost iu-
variably treated with the utmost kind
ness snd indulgence, and are often
seoiled like children by the TOO greet
good nature cf their masters or mis-
tresses. They constitute very merry,
happy portion of the population, and it
is seldom one can find black girl with
out an Infectious broad grin On her pol
ished face. Ii she chooses 10 marry, as
she often does, with her owners con-
sent, she receives dover, and goes forth
q ssfree" woman N the letter, though
often, as she finds to her cost. 6 greater
bond slave IN the spirit than in the days
OF her servitude.

She turns on them

with:
wolves would You rend his flesho
Base, murderous slaves. Oh, my dead love!
Foul fends, gaze on your work! Dead Dead.
Dead,
May that sweet Llood its incense send
To heav'n, and call down the wrath OF sou
On Your accCrSed heads. May fire
Eurn your homes, want pinch your limbs,
and
Hunger snaw your hearts until he gluts
Him with your deaths. Gold'Dought cut
fhroatS.
My vengeance will pursue you still. Drive
Courage fromNour veins and put fear there.
Curses upon you! Hclrs torments seize!
EcYenge! Revcns"! Revenge!
The last act is not completed, but
promises to be strong one both in ac-
ton and language. The play will be
finished in a short time, and will be put
IN in,,-siage in September. Meanwhile
Miss Van Zandt Will work assiduously
in preparing for the presentation.
Mrs. Van Zandt, Nina's mother, when
asked about her daughters plan of going
on the stage, said: "Who told you she
was going on the stage? I do not favor
it, and it is entirely Nina's plan" She
said she could not talk about it, as
nothing had yet been definitely settled.
She tacitly admitted the fact, but re-
fused to enter into details. "Nina," she
said, shas not yet completed her plans.
The beautiful Miss Nina herslf, when
asked to tell the public about her plans,
replied: 81 am not ready to talk to the
public yet, for when I go upon the
stage, if ever I do, l fear they will think
I talk too much.

Notes About BAll Players.

Johuny Ward OF the New Yorks is
stopping in Philadelphia.
Big Chief Roseman is still unsigned.
He is practicing pitching.
Jimmy Fogarty, the Philadelphia's
right fielder, is still in California.
The Sporting Times prints photo
graph of the New York's mascot.
Pitcher Baldwin OF the Detroits and
Manager Watkins have agreed on salary.
Pete Browning and young Chamber
lain have refused to sign with the Louis
vile club.
1t will cost the American Association
SIS, 900 this year for umpires and prizes.
I'll the members of the St. Browns are
now hard at work getting themselves IN
trim.
Jim O'Rourke and Buck Ewing are
satisfied to play almost any position on
the team except third base.
The Brooklyn players new uniforms
will be padded heavily, SO as to enable
them to steal bases without being in
jured.
President Young has at last selected
the men who will umpire the games.
They are Lynch, Decker, Daniels and
Valentine.
AL Spaulding, the president of the
Chicago club, is making preparations to
send two base ball teams to Australia
next fall.
The Brooklyn's spare material are still
unsigned, and it looks as if none OF the
association clubs want any Of the players.
Otterson, the young short stop, who
played with the Broo6lyns last season
while Smith was sick, will captain the
Wheeling club.
Bushong, now of the Brooklyn club,
played with the Worcester team in 1878
for $50 month. His salary now Is over
FIVE times that amount.
Morrill, of the Boston club will have
plenty of work to do this season. Be-
sides playing first base he will manage
the club, and also captain the nine.
The Athletic clubs new players, Glea-
SOu duO w ClCI1, lthSC 1CdSuCo L AA1oCl-
phia, and reported at the rink where the
rest of the players are practicing.
President Nimick of the Pittsburg
club is beginning to be disliked by his
players. Calvin and Miller are angry at
him because he stated that they were a
third-rate battery.
Ed Andrews has arrived in Philadel
phia, and was met at the depot by Presi-
dent Reach. The latter stated Andrews
had no il-feeling against the club and
was willing to sign a contract.
The case Of Pitcher Clarkson is one
that cannot be arranged in short order.
The Chicago club will hold on to him as
long as there is ghost of chance OF
retaining him, and will only let him go
after every attempt to hold him has
failed.

ELEPHANTS FOOT IN AFRICA.
A Dish Which Knocks Gut Anything at
DelmoDico's.

Speaking of elephants foot takes US
naturally to the katfirs, where this dish
is the crowning triumph of their bill OF
fare. Night is the time generally Sc
lected by the Ka1ir for the enjoyment of
this prime luxury. Other portions of
the elephant are eaten with great gusto,
but the feet are esteemed the delicacies
of the feast. A hole is dug in the ground
and fire made on the bottom. It is
allowed to burn down to heap Of Goals,
which are scraped cut by the cooks.
When this oven has been freed Of en-
bers, the foot is rolled into it and cover
ed with tvigs, and green leaves. After
this the hot embers are replaced and a
roaring fire started over the heap. In
this manner the foot is baked, and when
the fire has burned low the contents OF
tie oven are Lifted cut by several men
and the feast opens. Travellers who
have feasted with the Kafirs on occa-
sions of this kind have paid glowing
compliments to their cookery. The na-
tives are said to love elephant foot next
to the marrow taken from the leg bones
of the giraffe or eland, but the prepara-
ton of this food does not afford the en-
ioyment which is associated with the
dish we have described.
The katiirs fc-d Of locusts also.
They eat item whole, just as more civil
lied people dcvour shrimps. They have,
too, certain fondness for lions flesh,
about the toughest dish any one can sit
down to. The late Gordon Cumming,
who was familiar with the secrets of the
Kafir kitchen, used TO say that ''a very
good idea OF the meat which is usually
obtained in Kaffirlanl may be gained by
taking the very worst part OF the tough
est possible beef, multiplying the tough
est by ten and substracting the gravy" :"

BERLIN, March Pit is expected
that the coronation of King Frederick
and Queen Victoria OF Prussia will take
place at honigsberg in June.
The mass Of cartilage just removed
rom the Emperors larynN IS believed to
indicate that nature is making a curative
effort entirely independent Of the physi-
clans, which belief IS strengthened by
the fact that similar voluntary expui-
sion is unknown to the physicians il
their experience in the treatment OF
cancerous diseases. The circumstance is
also held to furnish incontrovertible evl-
dence of the correctness of DR.. Macken-
zie's persistent contention that tie dis
ease Is not cancer.
Empress Victoria, replying to ad-
dresses presented to her by seventeen
associations OF which she is a patroresS,
says her foremost and most sacred duty
will be the care of her suffering husband.
She is conscious Of the task deyolvlng
upon her as Queen and Empress, and
Will accomplish it to the best Of her
ability. At tie same time, she is re-
minded tha5 she has other social duties.
The moral and intellectual education of
women, the sanitary condition OF the
laboring classes, and the improvement OF
the facilities by which women may earn
a livelihood will be constantly before
her. The noblest of a princess,
she says, is an untiring activity in the
work Of ameGorating the suffering Of
the poorer classes. Owing to the diff
Guilty of her task she is doubtful whether
she Will succeed as we'll as her heart de-
sires.

COLOR IN THE CHURCH.
4 Northern View of the Difficulties In the
South Carolina Diocese.


South Carolina Diocese.
The New York Tribune, referring to
the color question in the churches, has
this to say in regard to the admission of
colored clergy to the South Carolina
Diocesan Convention:
eat the coming Easter 7estry elections
the question of admitting colored clerical
delegates to the Convention will be the
paramount issue, and it is likely that
vestries opposed to this will be generally
elected. That will mean the continu-
ance of the .schism, with the Bishop and
most of the clergy on one side and the
laity on the other. The immediate re-
suit of this Will be, as the Bishop says,
vacant rectories, closed churches and
suspended and abandoned missions.
s'But It will bring about at least one
good result. Tt will compel the next
General Convention of the Episcopal
Church, which meets in this city next
year, fairly and squarely to answer the
question whether clergymen and laymen
of that church i'll good standi0g Can be
deprived of their constitutional rights,
because OF the accident Of color, in any Of
its dioceses. That it will answer this
question in the negative may be fairly
inferred from its history and traditions.
L: it fails 80 do so, it will encourage OH
er denominations to take the same
stand, and there will then be nothing
left for the colored race but to withdraw
from the existing churches and organize
churches of their own, in which it is to
be hoped more comprehensive and
Christian conception of church member
ship will prevail.
