A CIRCUS ON THE RIVER. spoi ■ Democrat furnishes a grnphio account of the scenes at the collision of tho Mountain Girl and tho James IV. Gaff on tho Ohio river last Friday. There were about sixty-five people aboard the Mountain Girl when she went down, and all but two of these were saved and brought to Cincinnati by the Gaff this morn ing. Tho two men drowned were Charles Coon, a circus fakir, known ns “My John Howard," and John King, both of this city. When the Memphis steamer touched the wharfbontiu this city at 0 o'clock this morn ing, a forlorn and curious looking crowd inarched over the gang plank and up the public landing. Among them were men, women and children of all degrees of misfortune and dressed in every description of clothing. Some were btnefo'oted, and few hail on dry clothing. There were wo men with men s shoes and men's coats and bats, and men with women's sacqnes on, nnd even women's dresses thrown around their shoulders. On tbo faces of all there was a look of sadness nnd general disgust with the world. These were tho actors and actresses, the bareback riders, the managers nnd the canvasmcnof the “World's Show," which the Janus W. Gail rescued from the waters of the Ohio. An eye-witness on the James W. Gaff thns describes the disaster: “It was just about 1230 this mulling,’’ Raid he, “and we were coming up river very leisurely. The night wns terribly dark nnd it whs mining very hard, so that our pilot conld not see far nhend. Just as wo were rounding the point nbout three miles the other side of Aurora the pilot discov ered the Mountain Girl ahead, lie imme diately gave two whistles for the left. There waa no answer and wo pulled toward the Indiana aliote, hut a second later the pilot was horrified to see the Mountain Girl also heading for tho north bank of the river. He jumped to the boll rope, re versed the engines and again blew the sig nals, bnt it was too late. There was a con fused jingle of belie ringing aboard the Mountain Girl, and amid all this terrible din the show boat saddle-bagged across onr bow, and annk in about one-tenth tho time it has taken to tell you about it." “And then?" “Then w« oil jumped into small boats and went to reseniug tho people. Dnring all this time the greatest confusion prevai - c<l. The people aboard the sinking bont were nearly all asleep, and when they rushed ont to see what had caused the ter rible shock they were mot at their state room doors by four feet of water. Their baggage and their clothing they hail just taken off were floating out into the river, while they themselves were dazed and half asleep, and knew not which way to tnrn. The men jumped half naked into the river. The women followed with frightful screams, nnd the show homes, ten in number, sta bled on the lower deck, struggled and per- ished in their stalls.' James U. Ryan, the trapese performer, and his wife, Millie. Theola, tho "(Jneen of the ropes," had a narrow escape, that reads like the adventures of dime novel heroes. “I woke np with a great crash Bounding in my earn," said Ityan, in describing tho occurrence to the writer. “My wife was sleeping on tho bunk below, and when I jumped to the floor she was already up. We tried to open the in- aide door that lead* to the cabin, bnt we eould not do it. Meantime tho water was flowing in nt every point. Finally we got the ontside chatters open and waded ont on the npper deck. The boat was sinking fast and my wife jumped headlong into the riv er. I followed, and wo grubbed a barrel that was floating toward na. We held to this barrel, turning round and round in the water, folly ten minutes before we wore taken aboard the Gaff." George Churest, tho high-wire bicyclist, tells even a more remarkable story, lie had jumped on to the boiler-deck when the boat began to sink and the water soon rose shove bi* head. He bnrnpcd around against the ceiling of the boiler-room half-drowned and despaired of being saved, when he chanced to see the lamplight shining through the water from the hatchway which leads to the cabin. Then he felt his way along the ceiling of the boiler-deck in the direction of the light, and when he had come directly beneath he rose to the surfaco and landed high and dry in tho cabin, from which ho was rescued. Miss Kate Holloway, the bore-hock rider, and wife of George Holland, one of the pro prietors of the show, saved her life by a leap that beats the. record of McKenzie, the pioneer Kentuckian. Mias Holloway jumped from the guard of the Mountain Girl to the stage of the James W. Gaff while the two boats were fully fifteen feet apart, anil whilp the Gaff waa at least twelve feet be low the show-boat The World's Circus belonged to George Holland and John McMann, and their ion* can not be accurately estimated.

Fran the K*w Orisons TtmM-Damoemt The cultivation of the Japanese persim mon in the South promises to assume, in the near future, an importance little dream ed of by fruit misers at the present time. The fruit, which is seedless, resembles the sweet orange in color and shape, rivals it in aiz*, is exceedingly prolific, and is of a most delicious flavor. The tree upon which it is crown attains in Louisiana and throughout the Gulf Bates s height of from fifteen to twenty feet, and thrives as finely as though indigenous to the soil, with the boat amount of care.

They take it for granted that those whoso income falls below at least *1,200 live a poverty-stricken eiis tence. To live on $500 a year, or §10 a week, is something quite ont of eonsidera- tion. Aud it is probable that the larger number of families who do manage to drag along on that amount, have little knowl edge of the few who are able to supply all their necessary wants and furnish them some pleasures beside; the few who livo quite respectably, and get something ont of life more thnn a mere existence in spite of a scarcity of cash. It is tho writer's purpose to point out how these few, or nt any rate one family among them, manage domestic economy. To spend money judiciously and get all it will lmng requires not a li tie knowledge nnd experience. A good housekeeper who is a skillful cook will provide, of course, a better home and a better table with less ex penditure of money thnn n person who is neither the one nor tho other. A year ago a young Englishman with a wife who pos sesses both of these accomplishments, came from London to Brooklyn in sourch of em ployment. The couple settled with the r one child in a comfortable third story in Pacific street, near Nostrand street. They had lived in better apart ments in England, nnd at one time in the post they had occupied a whole house in one of the suburbs of Paris but the most the husband lins been able to earn since bis arrival in tlii8 city is §10 a week. On this amount they have been ob liged to subsist. They pay §12 a month for four rooms; bnt these apnrtuients have an air of comfort and even lux -ry that much more expensive lodgments frequently lack. Although there is not a costly article in any of the rooms, the general effect that is pro duced by the nice arrangement of enrtnins, drapery, prints, photographs and engravings her* and there on tho walls gives the rooms aninvitingappearauce. They form an unpre tentious home thnt has an air of good taste and refinement such ns one frequently comes across in Parts among peoplo of small means, bnt is not common in American cities. Tbe wife takes the whole care of her small establishment and makes her own nnd her little girl's clothes. The washing is ven ont nnd returned unironed. This is ic only expense for help and costs fifty cents a week. Here are the items of tho en tire expense of living one week copied from Clnm chowder, cabinet pudding with cream sauce. Dinner: Tomato sonp, beef a la mode with spinach, snlail of potatoes and parsley, cheese omelet. Thursday—Break- | ast; Hash made from a la mode beef, Neufchatel cheese. Lnnch; Oyster fritters, lemon pudding. Dinner: Celery soup, roast leg of mutton, macaroni with tomato sauce, baked apple dumplings. Friday—Breakfast: Scrambled eggs. Lnnch: Lolister saled, nuts anil raisins. Dinner: Bonn soup, croquettes (mode of the remains of the roast mutton) with tomato sauce,aalad of cold boiled potatoes, blane mange. Sat urday—Breakfast: Hominy and milk. It should be observed that although this is plain and inexpensive fare, every meal has some substantial dish—food that has much nutrition in it—and that no two days uro alike. The art of supporting a family on §10 a week is simplified probably os well as it can he by this couple. At any rate, it would not be easy to discover how more of actual value coaid be obtained for tbe money ex pended. During the past year they spent §2 for clothing, 75 cents for medicines, and *2.10 for on evening at the theatre and one trip to Coney Island. This, it was ex plained, was all saved out of the *10 a week, an average saving of C7 cents a week gained by the housekeeper freimcntly doing tho washing nnd by the husband walking to his employment and going without a morning paper. They have been fortunate in not needing scarcely any medicine nnd in never being ill enough to require a physician. “I can not imngine,” said the wife, shut ting her accnnnt book, “how pcoplj feel who have plenty of money. Every five cents wasted by ns is just so much loss of something that is really necessary for us to have." AT KATAHDIN'S FOOT. A Lake Abounding with FUh to Which Sportsmen nre dust Beginning to Itesort. A special from Bangor, Me., says: Near the foot of Mount Katuhdin, in the heart of the great Maine wilderness, is Kntnhdin Lake, a new resort to which Massachusetts nnd New York sportsmen nre daily journey ing to shoot and fish. This lake is a very beautiful Bhcct of water, hut it has been unknown aud unsung in all tho years past because of the difficulty experienced lit reachino very lew tourists haring, un til lately, braved tuo toilsome way leading to jt. But now n route, affording com- dumtively easy travel, has been opened to the lake, and the hills up there have ochoed this fall to the hunter's gun and the fisher man's merriment. From Bangor the trav eler goes to Mattewnmkeog, fifty-eight miles by rail, and thence to fatten, thirty-five miles further on, by stage. At Patten the new road begins, and tho journey of twenty-two miles to Kathndin Lake is made on buckbonrds. From tbo lake a expense of living one week coined from a small account book; Rent, *3; food, *5; fuel, 50c ; light (astral oil), 10c.; washing, 50c.; carfnre, C0c.; newspapers, 15c.; total, $0.85. This is the expense of on average week. Nome weeks in worn weather the cost of food has not been over 33.50 and fuel has nut coat more than 25c. When anything luts been saved in this way it has been put aside for unexpected demands—shoes and such small invest ments in clothing as the sarins will pro vide. But the supply of food bos rarely been stinted. The family has three meals .a day, anil the variety of dishes fre quently served at dinner would very likely lie a surprise to a great majority of people to whom living is much more expensive. The housekeeper in question has lived in France and has learned the art, as the French practice it, of making a lnnch of little, of buying with a view to a variety of combination, and of making the simplest dish palatable. She knows, for instance, twenty different wnys to serve eggs. Vegetables are made to take the place often of meat or fish, and soups—which the aver- showed the following purchases for the ta ble dnring the week referred to: Saturday —25 pounds of flour, 85c.; 3} pounds of su gar, 20c:; 1 pound of bntter, 23c.; 1 pound of tea, 12c. ;peck of potatoes, 18c. j pound of lard, 7c.; yeast, 2c.; 1 beef kidney, 2c.; 1 roll Neufchatel cheese, 15c.; 2 bones for soup, fic.jl pound of steak, lie.; sundries, including salt, pepper,vinegnr, lettnee, etc.. Hi nt), eluding salt, pepper, . . 14c.; cabbage, 5c.; nuts and raisins, lCc.; 1 can of salmon, Ifle.; upnlcs, 8c.; peaches, 10c.; dozen eggs, 25c.; smull egg- S lunt, 4c; hominy, 8c; total, *3.34. Sun ny-Milk, 8c. Monday—Milk, 4c; J pound of cheese, fie; soup bone, 8c; knuckle of veal, 10c; tomatoes, 4c; rice, 4c; pesrs, Cc; total, 45c. Tuesday—Liver, Cc; aonp bone, 8c; maecaroni (package), 20e; tomatoes, 6c; total, 38c. Wednesday -Milk, 4c; clams, 10c; soup bone, tic; round of beef, 28c; total, 48c. Thursday — Oysters, 10c; 1 lemon, 3o; sonp bone, 6c: yeast, 2c; celery, 6c; mutton, 25c; total, 58c. Friday—Lob ster, 10c; sonp bone, 7c; milk, 4c; total, 21c. Saturday morning-Milk, 4c. Grand total, *5.48. From these purchases there were left on hnnd Kr.ti.rdny morning, when the next week was begun, ubout thirteen pounds of flour sml one egg. worth 47c, which savings deducted from the whole out lay left the cost of tho table for the seven days, *5.01. It is the enstom of this housekeeper to make out Friday or Saturday mornings a bill of fare, complete for tue week. So, when she goes out to lay in htr supply Sat urday, she knows what she will need the entire week. This costa some time and consideration, bnt it is the secret of saving money in the purchases, and it also saves her any thought fn.ni day to day about T7hat .she will provide to eat, one of the great worries of daily existence. She keeps these hills of fare in a scrap book, and every two or three weeks she subatitutes an oh! for a new production. “Just as the minister," she remarked; “does with his sermons, and so save* himself tbe trouble of writing a brand new article.” It will be of interest, per haps, to learn what she provided with the provisions that have teen enumerated in detail. The scrap book furnishes a record of the living from day to day as follows; Saturday—Lnnch: stewed kidney, apple tarts, and Neufchatel cheese, with bread. Dinner: potato soup, steak, rolled with baked parboiled onions,salad of lettnee, fried bread pudding. Sunday—Breakfast: oat meal and milk, milk toast. Dinner: Scotch broth, salmon salad with egg dressing, nnta and raisins. Banner: peaches, tea and celts Monday — Breakfast; Cracked hominy with milk, egg toast with egg plant in crumbs. Lunch: Welsh rare bit. Dinner: Beef sonp, veal blanqnettee and poiitd potatoes, salad of sliced tome- border of stewed bridle path five miles in length leads to tbe basin of Mount Kntshdin, which is a deep depression at the mountain's foot, rich in geological curiosities and the home of abnndant game. In this basin lies n lake which is well-nigh fathomless, it being known ns Bottomless Pond. Tho pond has a bottom, of course, but a very long fish- lino will not reach it. It has fish, too, ernlly swarming with large tronl Katuhdin Lake itself is torn and five miles wide, and affords some of the vary best trout fishing in the world. A larg camp has been built here for the ac commodation of sportsmen, and it nfforda the tourista many comsorta nnd conven iences not often fonnd in tho wilderness. From this point, also, the ascent of Mount Katahdin is comparatively easy, and one can reach the summit with hnif tho work nnd hardly any of th« danger incurred by those who have climbed tip the other side. Abont the lake and the basin of Kntnhdin may bo had as good partridge shooting es can be fonnd anywhere, nnd cariboa are numerous in the thick woods. On the way to Katahdin by the new route one crosses the east branch of the Penobscot and Wns- sntaquoik streams, famous for salmon. Not long ago Mr. J. Nelson Howard, of Provi dence, caught in Lnke Conway, near Mon- son, a twenty-pound tront. The fish was three feet long, and wns caught after forty- eight minutes' piny with an eight-ounce rod. This is the biggest laker ever caught in Northern Maine, tho Mooschead fish weighing only twelve to fifteen pounds each. Katuhdin has recently been ascended by some daring spirits on horseback. FORTUNE CAME IN THEllt OLD AGE. Two I'ennsylvsnlsns I'liul Themselves llelre to Property Worth •2,000,000. A Tliowpsontown, Pa., special says; Abont the year 1820 there lived at Cameron Mills a family named Smith. There were two sons and two daughters. Tho girls were married, one to a man named Briggs, who settled on a farm abont two miles above Thoiupaontown, in Juniata county. She and her husband died, and the sole descendant of the family is Miss Mary Briggs, sixty years old and unmarried, who resides in the parental homestead. The other sister married Thomas Thompson and lived in New Cum berland. They had n son whom they named Thomas Thompson, who now re sides st Newport, Perry county, snd bo is the only surviving offspring of the union. Tbe two Smith boys, brothers of the girls, named John add James, went West and for fifty years had been accumulating wealth in cattle and mustangs. Little communica tion was had between tbe branches of the Bmith, Thompson aud Briggs families in latter years. A few days ago Miss Troup, a cousin from the Western States, paid a visit to Newport with her friends, among whom waa a relative of Mr. Thomas Thompson. Miss Troup announced that the Bmith brothers had died fonr months ago on one of their Western ranches, leaving property valued at $2,UU0,UUU. Investigation estab lishes that Miss Briggs and Mr. Thompson, nephew and nicee oiJno. and Jaa. Smith,are the heirs and they will get a million each. Air. Thompson is hearty at eighty-six, and remembers when General Kimon Cameron and his two brothers first arrived in Harris burg. He has lived in the city all his life. He had acquired a comfortable snm of money some years ago, and placed it in the Bridge Bank at Harrisburg at 0 per cent The bank failed. Tbe legal steps to estab lish the claim of the heirs will be taken at onca. NEWS ODDITIES, About Stamford, Conn., blackberries are reported in the woods as plentifnl as in Au gust.

For life has sordid cares and weary years, And seeds are sown though watered oft with tears; The fair field flowers look up with petals blown, * cannot pick them as I work aloue. I weep alone! The hearts that loved thee mourned for one short day, And then the world paused on its wonted wsy; Thy place is filled, thy grave with grass is grown— Sly heart is empty as 1 weep alone.
