AN IMMENSE, ICEBERG.
The Steamship saale's Passengers
Treated to a Magnificent sight.

Copyright 1889 on James Gorfon Bcnneft.)
LONDON, July 25.-( New York Herald
Cable-Special to THE BER. THE steam
ship Saale has been fortunate enough this
season to provide her passengers with
phases of excitement unknown to those who
have Travelled on the other ocean lines. On
a recent trip from Europe to America she
made such narrow escape from demolish-
ing an iceberg that the hair of such passen-
gers as had an inherent tenderness of ice-
bergs stood on end and refused to lie down
so long as any ice remained in sight. Ice
bergs of the first class are seldom to be
found so late in the season IN
the lanes most frequented by the
Atlantic racers One of magnificent
proportions was seen under the most COM
Portable and favorable circumstances by
those who took passage at New York July
Ia on the Saae. The passengers were in
mood for such sight, as on the third day
fireman rushed out of the torrid furnace
room TO the deck and threw himself over
board. The Saale was put about without
loss of time and every possible effort made
to save the man, put his body was never
seen after he took his plunge.
The unfortunate man was stowaway
who was transformed into a fireman that he
might work his way He was German,
name unknown. On the fourth day out,
while the passengers were at dinner. the
word was passed around that an immense
Iceberg was in sight. The iceberg furnished
more attraction than the dining room. It
was described by Captain Blanke and his
officers to a Herald correspondent as the
largest they ever saw. 1t seemed to be
about 500 feet high, its two immense
glistening spires reminding the spectators
of amagnificent cathedral sheathed in silver.
Its length was estimated /, 500 feet. The berg
was sighted by the lookout early in the af-
ternoon, and the Saale was wisely kept at a
long distance from the cleaning mountain.
That night the captain spent on the bridge,
for the ice monster was followed by several
satellites small in comparison, but large
enough to be dangerous, ana it was thought
possible that there was vanguard. No
other bergs were sighted, however.

Hundreds of Farmers Destitute and

PARKERsBURG, W. Va, July 25.-News re-
ceived to-day for the first time since the
food from West Fork and Henry Fork gives
sad story of the wreck and ruin. Houses,
fences and crops are washed away and sew
eral lives lost. Couriers for Tygart bring a
long list of houses and property, bridges and
culverts gone. A list which embraces every
farm on the creek is too long to enumerate.
To tell the story briefly it can be
stated that not single farmer escaped
damage. Hundreds are bankrupt and will
have to be supported temporarily by the
county. The commissioners to-day estimate
the loss in Lee, Tygart, Slate and Steele
counties at half million dollars At Sauls-
bury not single house or bridge stands on
its foundation, and many people are in the
woods. The mayor issued call for a meet
ing of the citizens tomorrow to render as

Tales Told by Antique Tablets.

Eighty-one cuniform tablets have
come into the possession of the British
Museum this year, says the London
Court Journal. They were bought Mt
sale in Cairo, and had originally come
from the tomb of an officer OF one of the
ancient kings.
Mr.. Bulge, the Psychologist has cat
alogued the collection and has brought
to light some profoundly interesting
revelations on the history of the jews IN
Egypt before the Exodus. The royal
scribe who left these records lived in the
time of Amenophis the Third and
Fourth, of the eighteenth dynasty.
The deciphering of the inscriptions
shows that the most OF them were letters
addressed to Amenophis the Third, by
Tushratta, king OF Mesopotamia. The
former, like many royal moderns, was
fond of hunting, and Was very successful
too, for it is recorded that he slew with
his own hand one hundred and two lions
in Mesopotamia. He fell in love with
Ii, the daughter of Tushratta, and III
took with her to Egypt three hundred
and seventeen of her principal ladies'.
This was no inconsiderable Semetic set
tteueub at tno EB1 pt'hh Nouie, put ~
was followed by still greater immigra-
ton of the race, and the inference is
that they were in favor. 1t was under
the nineteenth dynasty that they were
set to make bricks AMI build high walls
and pyramids.
Three OF the letters translated by Mr..
Bulge give us graphic pictures of life
at court. and the compacts that mon
archs arrange. and the compliments aud
presents they bestow on one another.
The Oriental art of using fiowery lam
guage was even then perfect art, and
wealth in vessels of precious stones and
lapis- lazuli seems to have ahOunded.
Tushratta, in pleading that his son
may go down to Egypt to m.rry a
daughter of the king states that in his
kingdom, "gold is like dust, which can
not be counted" Another letter to
Amenophis the Third, from the king Of
Alashiza, indicates a ivanced ideas on
international relationship and conrte-
sizes. The historian has some material
to work JUROR in the study of these tab
lets.

NOTHING WITHOUT LABOR.
Thoughts which from these words out

Thoughts which from these words out
come,
Suggested were in my old home,
An ancient chest of drawers there
Stood, as it had done many year
Ir state upon the oaken floor;
For half century and more,
It's rounded front and solid form,
The pride and care Of those now gone.
The handles brass on back grown showed
A hive Of bees in busy mood,
With fitting motto at the head,
Nothing without labor" thus it read.
Methought how well the words applied
To the heavy chest there by my side,
And the dear old house wherein went
Told silent tales of labor spent
Upon the solid massive frame,
Which in these days fad not name.
The doors with heavy hinges made,
The mouldings on the walls displayed,
Paneled by hand with patient care,
Machinery was unknown there.
The furniture, so stltf and prim
Bore evidence in all ITS trim
Ofhands that fashioned, ere the days
OF rushing things with wheel and lashes.
The chimney too with fireplace wide,
With high blac ked settle at its side,
Where blazing logs sent out their cheer
On many a family gathering there,
Brave, patient, quiet, busy lives,
Were those of whom we now survive.
Their persevering industry
IL given to US legacy,
And in these days of progress rare,
When powers to save our labor are
On every hand, in reach of all,
We may interpret it a call
All modes of labor to perfect,
And no needed labor to neglect.
