Two visitors to Trinity churchyard, in
lower Broadway, attracted largeshare
of public attention Wednesday after
noon. One was a well dressed blind
man and the other was boy of sixteen
or eighteen years of age, probably rel
ative of the blind man. The boy led his
sightless companion to the grass bor-
dered slab that bears the name of Char
lotte Temple. Dropping on his knees at
the side of the grave the blind man
passed his hands eagerly over the face
Of the stone and an expression of su-
preme qualification came into his coun-
tenance when his fingers touched the
sunken letters of the name. The boy
called his attention to that part of the
slab from which all of the original in
scription except the name is said to have
been cut.
There is a hollow place there at least
IL inches deep. Informs a basin to catch
water for the birds to drink and bathe
in, 1t was nearly full of water on
Wednesday afternoon, and the blind
man dabbled in the little pool gently.
He lowered over the grave for several
minutes, and became an object of curl
GUS interest to at least a hundred per-
sons who stood on the sidewalk and
watched him through the fence.-New
York Times.

buildings, household goods and gods
and among the drift was, what do you
think? cradle! One of the old fashioned,
wooden sort, and in it sat white headed
little tot, apparently about a year old.
"There was not boat within hailing
distance, the cradle was fully 800 yards
from shore and the river was running
like mill race. i started on dead run
down along the bank, hoping to find
boat Of some kind, but before had gone
