After "a pEOtfdcttu anu distressing illness
from paralysis. Mrs. Margaret c.. wife of the
late James W. Davis. passed away on Sunday
evening last. at the age Of nearly 81 years.
Last week we chronicled the sad and sudden
death OF her husband, fact which. for
obvious reasons. Was never made known 10
the dying wife, and she died in utter ignorance
OF the fact that her husband had gone before
her. Mrs. Davis was an estimabe lady, who
will be greatly missed and mourned. TO the
douby afflicted family every heart goes out in
sympathy Rev. W. ii. Sayary, who was
summoned from South Boston to attend Mr..
Davis funeral, remained to attend Mrs. Davis
funeral, which took place at her late residence
on Tuesday afternoon of this week.
Schooner Wesley Abbott, of which men-
ton was made in the AMERICAN short time
ago, was taken out on the new marine railway
last fall, and during the past winter and spring
has been thoroughly repaired, having been
newly ti:nbered from floor timbers up, new
stem, apron, sfern-post, ceiling and deck frame;
she has been raised forward about eight inches
increasing the tonnage about six tons, has had
some new rigging, spars, sails, ETC.. total cost
amounting TO about 5000. The schooner
sailed from this port lzst week for New York,
with a cargo Of slaves.
The new Temperance Union of this city,
which was started few weeks ago. is, we are
rejoiced to hear, doing excellent work and
growing fast in numbers, having already
reached sixty members. 1t was started in the
logging wooks last winter by eleven men who
wished to see the woodsmep save their money
when they came out in the spring instead Of
spending it for liquor. These eleven men,
when they came out of the woods, brought their
society with them and commenced the work of
! building it up here. Many good results are al
ready apparent. The patronage of the rum
shops has greatly fallen of and that Of tine
markets, grocery stores. etc., has correspond
| ingly increased. Let all good citizens stand by
and encourage the Ellsworth Temperance
| Union.

Hidden Fortunes.

Since Mrs. james Brown Potter set
tho fashion of having dresses, cloaks,
even hats, heavily scented with some
favorito perfume, tho style has receiv-
cd great impetus here. Most the girls
arc extremists in this regard; they
have little fat sachets filled with pow
dcred perfume placed about the chest,
in the sleeves and skirts Of their dress
es; these arc inserted in the lining in
o dcft manner; even in tho stoclsingsa
tiny sachct is placed. II is the fashion
TO have tho liair and eyebrows per-
fumed, too. To accomplish this the
hair is washed Thoroughly, tho scalp
perfectly clcanscd and some strong
perfume rubbed in the head and
through the hair; tho eyebrows are
scented in tho samo way. The air, OF
course, destroys much Of tho strength
of tho scent, but the faint, delicious
perfume left is enchanting. But tho
perfume craze is by no means limited
TO tho women. In dancing, lhaveoften
noticed how strongly tho coats Of tho
mon are permeated with tho fragrance
OF violet or rose. Inquired why this
was, and my cousin, a man who is
authority on such subjects, said that
tailors frequently made tho mems
coats with wide sachet, padding Of
somo perfumed powder 10 be placed
inside the lining. They wear chest
protectors also lined in this manner
very frequcntly.-St Louis Globe

Not so Bad as Reported.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 13.-The
general opinion among we'll posted
people here Is that the loss of life
will be between three and four thou
sand. 1t was generally given out
that Johnstown and the boroughe
adjoining had population OF $4,000,
but this is u very high estimate, and
conservative people put the popula-
ton between $4,000 and $4,000.
Colonel Rogers, who has charge of
the registration, states that from all
he can learn tho population only
amounted to about $4,000 people,
and this accounts for 10000 people
supposed to be lost. Reports sent
out from here to the effect that 49,
900 to $4,000 people were missing,
were based on the supposition that
there were 35. 900 inhabitants in these
boroughs. Reports as to tho num-
ber of bodies recovered at different
points along the flooded districts 40
very conflicting. Supposed official
reports have been sent in by differ
ent persons, and these are also con-
hicting, and put the numbers of
bodies recovered anywhere from
LOO to 1900.

Lord William Lennox, in his "Recol-
lections," tells story OF tho coolness
of tho Duke Of Wellington. The
French, with fresh force double that
OF the duke, were closing in upon his
jaded troops, one stormy night In
Spain. Wellington completed his
preparations and then turning 10
scout, said
How long win IT be before they
can reach us3" N.
"Half an hour" was tho reply.
''Then can 90 10 sleep" no said,
and, wrapping his cloak about him,
he dropped where no stood in the
muddy trench and in an instant was
asleep. Ho woke when the buglcs Of
the enemy sounded in his cars.
Napoleon, his soldiers were accus-
toned to declare, not only slept sound
ly when under fire, but even when rid
ing on horseback.
Gen. Grant also had tho same
faculty of falling instantly asleep even
in the face of danger.
This singular physical trait is not
moro proof of courage than q cduse
of il; tho brain, in these brief moments
of sleep, finds new vitality, and wakens
ready for tho conflict again.
A story is told Of famous English
admiral, Sir Sydney Smith, whose
ship, tho Antelope, in q terrible storm
in the North sea was driven among
tho rocks SirSydney summoned his
officers to tho cabin.
"Gentlcmon, you know our condi-
ton. We are driving OH TO the break
crs. acknowledge lean do nothing
more. If any OF you can make o sug-
gestion, now is the time"
There was an unbrokcn silence.
''Then there is nothing TO be done
but to await our fate" lie touched
tho bell. "Piere, bring up the cof-.
fee."
A story came from Switzerland d
year ago, Of mountain guido whose
name was not preserved He, with
two others, was leading party over
one of the most precipitous passes Of
the higher Alps Tho mon, rs is usual,
were tied TO each other by q long
ropo.
As they scaled the wall Of ice they
slipped on the edgo Of frightful
chasm. This man was nt tho end Of
the rope. Without his weight there
was n chance for tho others to regain
their footing; with it, there was none.
He cast glance down at tho dark
abyss, filled with fathomless SHOWS,
then drew his knife from his belt, say
ing quietly to tho man next him:
Tell mother how II was, jose. - ~ 4
He cut tho rope and fell, never to DO
seen Of mortal man again. Youth

Everything Lovely at Dastrop.

BAsrRop, June 19.-[Special. +
Emancipation day has been gen eral-
ly observed throughout the country.
At Bastrop, Smithville and Hills
Prairies and other points large crowds
enjoyed the sumptuous dinners.
Everything passed off quietly, prov
ing beyond doubt that there exists
no race war in Bastrop county. A
reckless negro constable, instigating
a lot of ignorant negroes, fired on
white men and committed murder,
but some of these very men with
their neighbors have hunted down
the murderers, and like good citizens
handed them over to the sheriff,
showing by their action that they
wanted the law to prevail. 1t is not
true, as reported in yesterdays News,
that the Rangers had been sent to
Bastrop county to promote order, as
no rangers have been sent and none
are wanted. Captain Seeker, of the
Rangers, bas been sent here and he
found everything very quiet No
race war reigns in Bastrop county,
the law prevails, and those who have
violated the same, in the due course
of time, will suffer the penalty for it's
violation. The wounded men are
getting better md will recover. A
special from our sheriff, H. N. Bell,
says that Ike Wilson, the negro con
stable, surrendered to him yesterday
and is safe behind the bars at Austin.
The jail here is full to overfowing.
The Sayers Rifles ore still on duty
and guard the Jail at night.

Is Life Worth Living!

THE following appeared In the Lano News not
opg since. We fancy wo know who eontrbated II.
-kD. FREs PRrss.
As I sit idly dreaming,
While the evening shadows fall,
Gazing back upon the pictures
Hanging thick on mem'ry's wall,
Many thoughts come stealing DER me,
Some keen pain, some pleasure giving,
And ask myself the question,
Is life really worth the ilivingr
Memory wanders farther backward,
And see little child
Roaming through the pleasant meadows,
Gathering thore sweet spring flowers
wild.
But while dimplcd hands are culling
Earth's fair blossoms, pure and sweet,
Cruel rocks, and sharpest briers
Bruise and pierce the tender feet
Then child-but now woman;
Mark ye! how the years have flown;
And fain would ask the questions:
Can pleasure call them all her own2
In these years which seem all brightness,
Has deep sorrow had no partp
Or docs this bud unfolding show us
A worm, gnawiDg ut its heart?
See, those lustrous eyes grow heavy
With the weight of unshed tears,
AS she buries hopes that promised
To make bright oil future years.
She has seen her cherished idol
Fallen, crumbled into clay,
And she cries in deepest anguish.
Is life worth the living-say?
Ask old age, whose tottering footsteps
Say ''life's race is almost rum"
Has thy heightened journey brought thee
More Of shadow or of sum-
With those dim eyes raised t'ward heaven
Come the words with quivering breath,
Life is one long, bitter struggle,
Holding naught SO sweet as death.
Ono by one these faces vanish,
But this thought still haunts my mind:
That pain and pleasure still alternate
In the lives of all mankind.
AS days go by, and years roll on,
Some full Of pain, some pleasure giving,
I ask the question-who can answer:
Is life really worth the living?
