From dispatches received from Rio Janero

gents was due to the fact that their provisions
gave out and no frthersuppiies were obtain
able. Admiral da Cana IL denounced by the
sailors who were under his command, and
they unhesitatingly declare that they would
have killed him had they known OF his inten-
ton to desert them
Da Cana Is supposed to be seeking the
earliest opportunity to get to Europe put II
is understood that the government will de-
mand his surrender as Il pirate by any conn
try giving him shelter. 1t Is generally be-
Iieyed that MelIo has followed the example

A Royal Benefactor.

The Emperor Joseph II, walking
one day on the Prater at Vienna, met
a young woman who seemed in great
distress. He inquired the cause and
found that she was the daughter of
an officer who had been killed in the
imperial service, and that she and her
mother had supported themselves by
their industry, but were now unem-
ployed.
Have you received no assistance
from the governments" said the en-
peror.
None" was the reply.
"Butwhy notapply to the emperors
He is easy of access"
'They say he is avaricious, and
such step would then be useless"
The monarch Immediately gave the
young woman some ducats and ring,
telling her that he was in the emper-
or's service and would serve her If
with her mother she would come TO
the palace on a certain day.
The appointment was kept, and the
young woman recognized her bene-
factor in the person of the emperor,
who babe her not to be alarmed, as
he had settled a pension on her and
her mother, adding, "At another time
hope you will not despair of a heart

A Baby In Camp,

Bishop Whitaker relates pathetic
story of life in California mining
camp. A man named John East had
struggled hard and prepared to bring
his wife and child from the east. Aft
er she started on the trip he died of
pneumonia. The miners quit work
to bury him, according to their Gus
tom. The funeral services We're hard
ly over when the stage arrived at the
camp, the stage arrival being the in
cident Of the day: The town was
full of miners, the saloons Were full,
but even when the stage arrived the
usual crowd gathered around.
Two or three men got out of the
stage; then they helped some one
else out There was sudden move
ment of the crowd forward to see
what those near the stage were look
ing at. A little woman stepped down,
and the word passed around the 400
men encircling the stage, tits Jim
East's widow and child" They passed
the child around from arm to arm
and kissed her, and those who couldn't
get near enough to kiss reached for
ward to touch the child's cheek or
dress, and the whole crowd Of hardy
men set a-swaying and a-weeping.
Some one cried out, 'Let's make her
a stalker and the crowd soon raised
