Hero of the Flood

IL is relief, says an exchanges, to turn
from the contemplation of the foul deeds
of the ghouls who have added new hor-
rors to the awful disaster of the Cone
maugh valley by the heroic con
duct of the brave men ard
women who risked their lives to save
their fellows.
Sharp rs the contrast is between these
tso, how much more pronounced ls that
between the conduct of the fend in hu
man form who was caught robbing a
living, though insensible woman, and the
noble creature who twice rescued his
fainting mistress from the food.
Romeo is his name. Romeo is 8 water
spaniel. Dog though he is, he has
lions heart. Romeo was visiting with
his mistress, Mrs. Kress, at the house of a
friend when the waters came down and
forced them so fly to the roof. A big
wave swept the lady FROM her slender
footing. Seven persons saw the accident,
but made no movement 70 save her.
Romeo lost not moment. He jumped
after her and seized her by the dress. 1t
was heavy burden for small dog, but
mis- devotion seemed to make him double
strong. He pushed her forward to
the slauting roof of large house.
She climbed upon it only TO be
swept away by second wave. The
noble brute, undsunteo, sprang 70 the
rescgr a second time, and swimming by
her side while she was borne upon the
current, coutrived to keep her head
above water. For half an hour he battted
with the waves, and his faithful endur.
auce was at last rewarded. His mistress
WIS unconscious when drawn from the
water, and it was not until he was ress-
smed by her returning breath that he
could be pacihed,
Yes, and all the credit the noble dog will
receive from some DEMONSTRATIONS
/ people will be, that he possessed great
/ amount of "auimal Instinct

NEW YoRK,-R. G. Dan d Cos
Weekly Review of trade will say: The
CALAMITY at Johnstown has seriously in
tsrupted business at many points. Other
disasters by food IN Pennsylvania, Mary
land, New York and the YirginiRs have
involved enormous loss of property, in
terrupted traffic even more than the
blizzard of last year, and entirely changed
the situation in the eastern lumber, coal,
iron and steel trades. Producing com
panies of the first Importance have sud
deutly ceased operations, and their orders
must be allied by Others or. delayed. The
flooding of the coal mines cuts of sup
plies of fuel for manut acturing works,
and the stoppage of the Cambria mills
and furnaces, which produced yearly over
100000 tons OF iron in various forms, will
affect the trade for some time. The des-
truction of more than forty bridges,
about half of them on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, besides many locomotives, cars
and miles OF track, creates q sudden de-
maud which is felt IN all iron aud stee!
markets Vast quantities of lumber have
been swept away, and thousands OF houses
and other buildings must be quickly re-
placed with a vast quantity of supplies
and stores. l. is impossible as yet 20
estimate the effects IN various branches
of trade but the demand for many kinds
Of iron aud steel products Is already felt

Simplicity of styIe

a simplicity of style of speaking or writ
ing can be graceful and elegant. Even
sublime thoughts are most charming when
clothed in simple language. God said
Let there be light; and there was light"
What can be grander than the thought,
and yet what can be simpler than the Ian
guage ?-all monosyllables, but compact
with vigor. "Are not two sparrows sold
| for farthing? and one of them shall not
fall to the ground without your Father"
etc. Suppose we change that to-"The
feathered tribes are considered of small
Importance, and yet they share the pro-
lection of Providence" Does that not
greatly weaken the passage? The en-
ergy and the searching sense of the ap-
peal are gone.
Most of the frequently quoted sentences
that have come down to US from classic
times are sharp, terse sentences. OF more
modern times the remark is just as true.
What made General Dix's order so famous
but its short, sturdy, vigorous character
He said: of any man pulls down the
American flag shoot him on the spot.0 1t
was spoken at the right time in the right
way, and subsequently made him Governor
of great State. Such would not have
been the result had he worded his order as
follows: If anybody removes the United
States colors from the pole enter complaint
against him at the earliest convenience,
and have him committed for trial at the
next term of the Supreme Court of the
county"
Balfour's style was gorgeously verbose !;
Erskine's, on the contrary, was crisp md
vigorous. The following anecdote is told
about the two barristers: Coming into
Court one day Erskine noticed that Bal
four's ankle was bandaged. "Why, what
is the matter?" asked Erskine. Instead
Of replying, +" | fell from gate,n Balfour
answered in his usual roundabout manner :
was taking romantic ramble in nv
brothers garden" he said, "and on COM
ing to gate | discovered that | had to
climb over it, by which / came in contact
with the first bar, and grazed the epider-
mis- of my leg, which caused slight ex-
travasation of the blood" "You NAV
thank your lucky stars" replied Erskine,
" that your brothers gate was not as lofty
as your style, for you certainly would have
broken your neck"
The Rev. DIR. Archibald Alexander, of
Princeton Theological Seminary, was a
very learned man, but exceedingly plain
in his language. He knew how essential
simplicity was to clearness and force.
There was school-house in the vicinity,
where the students held religious services
and aired their eloquence. An old col
ored man attended every Sabbath, but the
students talked so far above his compre-
hension that he remembered little of the
sermons and understood less. But one
Sunday afternoon DR.. Alexander preached.
The old colored man was both delighted
and instructed, and made the following
comment: "a poor, unlarnt ole man, just
like myself, preached. l dom know who
he was an didn't s'pose he was hardly ct
to preach. But I'm glad went, for l can
remember everything he said" In this
criticism was hidden a compliment of the
highest order.-Christian Union.
