The Widows Mite.

An aged German general wore only
one trinket, a much worn German half
penny, at his watch chain. One day
his grandson asked the reason of its
presence in the place of honor, and the
old general answered by telling a little
romance. Baron Malortie, the grand
son, narrates the story in his book,
"'Twixt Old Times and New"
The grandfather was SO severely
wounded at Leipsic in 1872 that he was
picked up for dead and thrown with
thirty or forty corpses in a common
grave. His servant having promised
the officers father to bring his son alive
or dead, searched for his masters body
and found him still alive. A strong
constitution and the servants nursing
allowed the officer TO be removed at
the end of ten days.
His fathers house was a long distance
from Leipsic, and the country vas over
run by French patrols and marauders.
The journey home was begun at night
In q peasants cart drawn by an old
horse. Cross roads were taken, and
during the day they rested at some
farmhouse.
One morning after travelling all night
they reached a small village and
stopped in front of q bakers shop.
The servant went in to buy bread,
leaving his ilaster stretched on a bed
of svaw and rags covered with a man.
tie and wearing a soldiers old cap on
his bandaged head. There wa moth.
ing to betray his rank, but on the con
trary he seemed a poor wounded pri.
waite.
Apoor woman in a tattered black
gown, with a child In her arms, looked
In the bakers window. Suddenly she
saw the wounded man. CHANGING at
the halfpenny in her hand, and then
looking at the bread in the window, she
pressed the coin into the soldiers hand,
and hurried of without saying q word.
She had sacrificed her own and her
child's breakfast that she might relieve
one whose need she thought greater
than her own.
At this moment the servant appear
Cd, and by his masters order ran af-
ter the poor woman. Overtaking her
he dropped a gold piece in her hand a.
. gift from the wounded soldier, who
from that day o the widows mite at
his chain.

WHERE CLOCKS ARE IN NEW YORK.

Cogent Reasons Why Women shopping In
New York do Not Garry Watches.
Many women whom ] know invaria-
bly, leave their watches behind them
when they go out shopping. l remon-
strated with one of them the other day
and got this answer and explanation:
There is no need of my carrying q
watch, which Is a most i~nconvenient
thing for a woman to carry, anyway.
She can't put ii in her pocket, for she'd
never find it when she wanted it; IL she
buttons il in the front of her waist il is
more getatable, but is still inconvenient.
No wears watch in her w~aistband,
and a chatelaine watch, or carrying
your watch in n chatelaine bag, is a
temptation to thief. So | leave my
watch at home and trust to the public
clocks.
"Of course | see my hall clock when
I go out. Then there are several clocks
on the Grand Central; there is a clock
in every elevated station; there is the
church clock at Twenty ninth street
and Fifth avenue, besides Towards
electric clock. The Fifth Avenue ho-
tel clock every one knows, and there is
a clock in T~wenty-third street near
Sixth avenue. There are two clocks
along Broadway south of Twenty-third
street, a clock in Fourteenth street near
Sixth avenue. Tiffany's clock is in
Union square. and there are several
clocks in all the big shopping stores,
generally ear the elevators.
There are a few clocks along the
Bowery. and some along Sixth avenue,
while down town there are plenty of
them: the City Hall, The Tribune, The
Times clocks. the Produce Exchange
clock. and quite a number of less
prominent but equally good t!mekeep.
ers. So really what is the use of my
carrying a watch that is either in my
way or out of my way, and in both
cases uselessf'

Several hundred years after this
remarkable event, the Germanic
tribes had separated and founded
numerous little monarchies which
kept up, more or less, of a petty war
fare among themselves until finally
one great ruler, Charlemagne, or
Charles the Great, gobbled up the
malcontents and made himself ruler
of all the then known Europe.

The Romans then pressed for

empire, which was agreed upon at
the famous Treaty of Verdun, gave

Charles, that which is known as
France, and to Louis, or Ludwig,
that stretch of country known as
Germany. As this treaty made

On tho Daelalus Reef.

The Dadalus reef in the Red sea, upon
which the British steamer Dacca, from
London, April 81, for Brisbane, struck on
Friday last, is 400 miles from Suez, and is
directly In the track OF navigation. A
light house, the light from which il visible
fourteen miles at night, marks the reef
which is few inches above the sea at low
water. The Dacca struck the reef at 6
O'Clock in the morning. The weather at
the time was fine and clear. Only few
of the passengers had left their berths at
the time Of the accident. The steamers
bows were stove, but she hoated
for four hours. There we're fourteen
saloon passengers on board aud large
number Of emigrants IN the steerage. A
majority of the emigrants were young
women. The passengers took refuge on
the reef, few Of them beirg accommo.
dated in the lighthouse, but most Of them
being forced to remain on the rock. Many
of the latter were compelled to stand in
water up to their waists. Most of the pas
sepgers lost their clothing, The British
steamer Rosario, from Bombay May 5 for
Odessa, barely succeeded in rescuing the
officers and crew Of the Decca before she
sank. The British steamer Pslamcotta,
from Greenock, May l, with coal for CAL
cutta, took the passengers of the reef and
afterwards took the Dacca's officers aud
crew from the Rosario and landed all OF
them-4l9 persons-at Sutz on Sunday.
