for her and her estate. the latter nav-
ing depreciated to . great extent
through her recent extravagance. All
that was left to her was an income OF
$500 q month, but the accounts show
she has been spending 5000 In excess
OF this. She did not realize that her
income was not as large as In years
gone by. before her properties became
encountered by mortgages. In her de-
lusions she would talk Of her large es-
tates and had even cast money into
the streets Of San Francisco. believ-
ing she still had unlimited wealth.
Lady Yarde-Buller was the petted
daughter OF Gen. Kirkham, once COM
mandant at the Preside. She had
everything that great wealth could
command When she went to Paris
to complete her education her beauty
attracted widespread attention. While
in the French capital she undertook
an elopement with young Majori-
banks, who afterward became Lord
Tweedmouth, but her father learned Of
the scheme in time to prevent 1t. He
had no presentiment then of what was
to come. Still, he thought it wise to
hasten her settlement in life, and when
David Boyle Blair. Californian, pro-
posed for her hand he was promptly
accepted, and the marriage followed
speedily. The young couple went to
Oakland, CAL. where they lived in the
Kirkham mansion. 1t is never known
what came between them, but Blair
went to South America, where he took
sides in one of the many revolutions
there, and was killed on the field OF
battle. Freed from her matrimonial
bonds, the young woman began to
look around in the world, and it was
not long before she became the wife
of Yarde-Buller, Scotchman. 1t could
not have been love marriage, for he
was twice her age at the time. He was
excessively fond of the wine cup, and
his wife soon learned to keep pace
with him. 1t was swift going after
that. There was an affair with VAL
entine Gadsden, with whom Lady
Yarde-Buller was seen in Germany,
while her aged husband contented him
self at his home in Scotland. But
even the cup could not induce hira to
overlook the matter, and in the end
he obtained a divorce. Once more fee.
the young woman continued her affair
with Gadsden, to the scandal OF all the
capitals of Europe. One day Gads-
den, who was an accomplished pianist,
fell dead at her feet while playing to-
her. For time all trace Of her was
lost. and when she returned to
California she retained only trace
of her imperiousness was gone. She
continued the mode Of life she had
chosen, and was cut by all her old ac-
quaintances. They knew the wages OF
sin and their sure coming. They were
content to let the former beauty go on
her way alone. and it was only by the

Not until 1t became known that her
last dollar. her last friend was gone,
and that the wages of sin were being
paid. did anyone give her even passing
attention. Her appeal that she might

herself had sent the erring daughter

enough to take her to the faraway In

THE DISABLED BULGARIA..
Rescued Passengers Say Her Cargo Shifted Throwing Her Upon Her

London, Feb. 1G.-A dispatch from Lloyd's agents at St. Michaels, Azore islands, announces that the 25 women and children taken off the disabled Hamburg American steamer Bulgaria by the American tank steamer Wee h&wken, were landed at St. Michaels Tuesday. The rescued passengers re- port that the cargo of the Bulgaria shifted, throwing the steamer on her beam ends. Although a quantity of her cargo was jettisoned, the crew were unable to right her. During the gale 150 horses were lost, and n boat with five men on her went adrift.
 The Weehawken, which met the Bull garia 500 miles from the Azores on February ,, stood by until noon of the 9th, but at that time the disabled steamer had been lost sight of. and the Weehawken proceeded.

 DANGEROUS SITUATIONS,
Immense Accumulations of Ice in the Me
 agara River Both Above and Below the Falls.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Feb. 16.-Aboye the falls in many places the ice is packed in the river in high piles and extends long distance from the shore. Much dynamite has been ex- ploded to drive it from the inlets lead ing to the different power plants. The jam in the gorge at the foot of the falls grows with the days. Some of the hills are nearly 50 feet high. One of them is called mountain and is said to be over 100 feet high. Such large quantity of ice has not been known in the Niagara river for years, and the situation is a decidedly serious one, and makes owners of property close to the banks of the river apprehensive for the result when the river begins to free itself.

 HOUSE. One of the fiercest contests of the session was in progress when the house met. The friends and oppo- ncnts of the plan to attach the Nj caragua canal to the sundry civil bill were working assiduously, and every argument which could influence mem bers one way or the other was brought to bear. The fate of the canal bill at this congress was in the balance. Mir. sherman (N. Y.), who has been snow bound between New York and Washington for two days. arrived. He was designated as chairman of the committee of the whole by the speak CT when the sundry civil bill was talk en up, but in his absence Mir. Hop kins occupied the chair.

Hepburn Qa.), who is conducting the fight on behalf of the Nicaragua canal amendment, asked unanimous consent that the canal bill be made a special order for Tuesday next, but objection was made.
 The house then went into commit tee of the whole (Mr. Hopkins in the chair) on the sundry civil bill, the pending question being the point of order raised against the canal amend ment.
