EXCITEMENT IN THE NORTH. Mo Communication With Charleston. Niro York, Septi.-Up to 4 o’clock title morning no news could be obtained from Charleston. It is impossible to reach the city by wire and there is the gravest apprehension for the inhabitants. There are rumors from aljoining towns of an im ■aenee tidal wave, but lack of telegraphic facilities makes the confirmation of these reports impossible. Dispatches received from Savannah at 4:30 a. m. say intense ex citement prevails there; people are rushing wildly about the streets, sleepless with ter ror. Another slight shock was felt at 1:30 a. m., but not so severe as the first one. Many fear, however, that there will be a renewal of the disaster before daylight. BUOW FEVER REPORTED AT BILOXI Two Deaths Sald tO; Have Occurred. Mobile., Sept. I. —Yellow fever is said to hate maile ' its appearance at Bilixoi, Miss. Six cases aiifl two Heaths, which are said to‘‘ hate' 6c cnrred on Sunday are ‘reported. Dr. Scales, Health Officer, left for Boioxi last anght and will report fully to-morrow. —» I • ■ 1 A Queer Hospital in Austria. Oonaul Hoff told about a hospital he *bw in his travels, which is run on such a queer plan that I can not help repeat ing it. It is situated in Trieste, Austria, is built with a plain back, without an outlet, to a little narrow street, which, oy some contrivance, people can enter and leave unseen. On the end of a slide is a cushioned basket. Above it is a large clock. Any one who does not want their child can take it there unseen and unknown, and place it in the basket, which immediately slides into the build ing, when the constant watcher looks at the same clock, which has an inside face, and registers the new guest by the time, such as April 10, 8 o’clock, 24; minutes and 3 seconds, 1886. A similar card is written and placed on the babe, which is wrapped in swaddling clothes.. If the mother ever wishes to regain her child she goes there and says she wants to look at the children. They are laid be fore her, and she examines the cards until she gets one corresponding with the hour she left her babe. Thus she knows it is hers, and takes it free of charge. The motto above the door was: “Our parents have deserted us; Jesus is our Father.”—Pittsburg Dispatch. On b New Jersey Turtle’s Back. Mr. William H. Beard, the artist, re members that forty odd years ago, in Ohio, the boys used to amuse themselves by cutting on the backs of stray turtles the inscription, “G. W., 1776,” and then letting the reptiles go; and one of his humorous drawings depicts a solemn an tiquarian in the act of examining a tur tle so marked. Mr. Beard was interested the other day to learn that a distin guished brother artist had recently found in a New Jersey swamp a turtle whose back bore the same “G. W., 1776,” especially as the discoverer inclined to the belief that the animal, if not a relic of the boyhood of the Father of his Country, was at least a true specimen of longevity. In b National Way. Mr. Carl Rosa, who is doing so much for English opera in Great Britain, pul this question to an American critic: “Why does not your American opera work in a truly national way by bring ing out American operas, or at least operas composed to English words.— Philadelphia Press. ~ Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity.—Augustine. IMvinion of Work and Rest. The idea that I wish to emphasize is a a rational division of work and rest, the most logical exemplification of health ful cause and rapturous effect with which lam acquainted. A day so divided is a day well spent. A life so divided is wise obedience to law older than any human statute. The more faithfully we live within it the closer shall we come to a divination of the mystery and the pur pose of being—“living pure, reverent, patient, pititiful. loving all things which live," and accepting what is with neither vanity nor complaint. There is no rest where discontent corrodes the mind. — Signor Max in Detroit Free Press. Th. Old Idea of Civilisation. The older civilized people, the Greeks and Romani, loved city life; that was their idea of civilization. People who lived in the country were rustics, and quite on a lower level. Another name they had for those who did not live in cities, but in villages or hamlets, was pagan (from the Latin pagus, a village). The word afterwards came to have anather sense. The ancient Germans hated cities and loved to live apart.— Boston Budget. Advice To Mothers. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep, by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes re “bright as a button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It sooths the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regu lates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes.
