A Desirable Correspondent.

you q desirable correspondent? inquiries
the New York Sun. What is that?
A desirable correspondent is the one
.ho not only dates her letter, but writes
upon it the day of the week, so that you
have an intelligent idea by what she
means by tomorrow. One who dis,
eliminates in the matter of ink, not
choosing that which is SO pale that you
think it is skim milk, nor the very
black or very purple, writing with it on
extremely thin paper, so that when you
hold the sheet to the light you cannot
read it.
One who does not 20 into ecstasies
about the weather, the heighth or depth
of the thermometer, or the mental or
physical condition of her own sweet
self
One who answers the questions asked
by you in your last letter, concluding
that unless you wanted to know you
would not have written.
Ono who fastens the envelope Sc
curely, for she knows that nothing is so
annoying as to receive half-opened
letter.
One who does not gush to stranger,
thinks it is worth while being careful
to her friends, and never lets business
letters wait.
One who writes .'Mr." before mans
name in preference to Esquire
after it.
One who spells your name correctly.
You would suppose that your friends
would know this, but very often they do
rot trouble themselves about it,
One who uses quiet payer, good
quill, 4 clear ink. and sits down to the
pleasant task determined to express
herself clearly and intelligently, put
ting "dotlet on the IT, tho crossing to
the t, the curling tail to her y, so that
it will not look like q, and says what is
necessary and no more, and saying it in
the best way, is the desirable core

SIOUX FALLS, $. D., March 2s.-An
aggravated case of faith cure delusion,
which resulted in the death of a 5-year-
old child near this city, has just como
to light. The circumstances OF the case
SO far as learned. are as follows: Over Il
year ago Olin lIoucls, who lives bn What
is called Mine Mile creek" ten miles
southeast of this city, was troubled
with choronic asthma. He says he APP
piled to the regular physicians for re
lief, but failed to secure it, lie finally
fell in with Mrs. Frank Johnson, who
was here at the time, and who is a most
enthusiastic exponent of the faith cure
doctrine. Mrs. johnson assured him
that all no needed for a permanent cure
was faith in God. liouck put himself
in Mrs. Johnsoh's care, and in snort
time claimed to be cured so effectively
thai he has never had a return OF his
trouble.
This made him a believer IN the faith
cure doctrine, which was accepted with
equal readiness and fervor by his wife.
Two weeks ags iIouck's 5-year- old
child was taken sick with whooping
cough The child was considered iii
danger, and Ilouck came to town for
Mrs. ii. l.. Quinn. upon whose shoulders
the faith cure mantle of Mrs. Johnson
seems to have fallen. Mrs. Quinn went

six months ago the vessel was for 4
long time at Mare Island, and the gov
crnmcnt spent 800. 900 in repairs. The
Iroquois arrived at Honolulu on October
is, having taken twcnty-eight days in
making trip which the Australian
makes in seven. November 16 she was
ordered to Samoa, and was to cal! at
Marshall Islands on the way down On
December %, when sixteen miles north
of the line, the piston rod of the engine
broke and the lroquois lay helpless and
dependent upon her sails. Making her
way with difficulty out of this hazardous
locality, orders were given to sail to the
west with the expectation of reaching
the coast trades and then sailing for
Honolulu, $500 miles away, in order to
got her broken piston rod repaired.
The hope of getting into the
region Of favorable winds was disap.
pointed. The wind blew continually
from the opposite direction, and tho
lroquois was driven further to the
north, until the intention of making
Honolulu had to be abandoned and San
Francisco was headed for instead. BY
the last of January the prospect of a
long and perilous trip was apparent to
all the officers and crew, end it became
necessary to cconomize in fuel and food.
Al the water used on board was dis
titled, and the short supply OF coal had
to be economized to the last grain. On
February Is the crew was put on short
rations and the officers would have been
obligcd TO submit to the same hardship

visioned and coaled, and left for thil

A Building collapses.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 29.-.The
two side walls of the Fulton avenue
brewery collapsed yesterday afternoon,
letting the roof fall in. Six men were
at work in the upper story three of
whom escaped, but John Winger, Charles
Tilley and Edward Kelley were buried

A similar explosion occurred year ago

Twenty-scvcn men were at work in the

flashes of fire and the tumbling of fall

the building and machinery were hurled
in every direction, and the workmcn
buried beneath tho mass Of debris,
which tool: fire.
The 200 men employed in the main
building were panic stricken and rushed
to the street as rapidly as possible. Tho
cries Of their imprisoned fellow labor

with the aid of eighteen fire engines
and crews the fire was subdued, and in
short time the bruised and bleeding
victims were being cared for in the re.
tinery company's laboratory. All sorts
Of wild rumors flew about the city, and
for Il time it was understood the main

A Great Calamity Imminent.

New York, Mareh ess- Sergeant
Dunn, OF the signal service, Id an inter
view, says that one of the greatest cal
amities the country has ever known is
imminent, and that it is tho duty of
the press to warn the people of the
lower Mississippi to prepare for the
worst. He says: THE damage will be
tho greatest below Memphis. The
height of the river at Vicksburg and
Carlo has remained almost stationary at
the top flood limit. When the wave
crest from this new storm comes down
the river things are hbind to lie carried
away and the surrounding country coy
cred up. This will probably arrive at
Cairo In two or three days, but it may
be three weeks before it reaches New
Orleans"
