Years ago, comfortably situated in a modest home at Northport, L. L, lived a cosy little family of three father,
mother, and little daughter, a 02 a
time all went happily along, until toe husband and father was taken ill; then
came darn days in tne cottage, and a sharp straggle for life was each day and
hour enacted, 1 here came a lull, kind
friends walked gently about with sad faces and a solemn hash, and that
indefinable something which always accompanies death seemed to say that all
was over, ail suffering had passed away, and the mortal remains of the father lay calm and quiet. Mother and daughter were soon to begin a long, bitter straggle for bread in a great world alone. Across the country whirled the flying train. On, on it rushed, panting, puffing, snorting for days till the journey ended and California was reached. Among those who left the tram was a black-robed woman and a fair little girt. Alone in a strange land. Then followed weary days passed in fruitless searching for work Life is notrso easy after all to begin anew in a strange place and without friends. Steadily the small stock of money grows smaller and smaller nntfl, with all its ghastliness, starvation stares one in the face and there is no alternative but to beg. So tins mother and daughter found the sunny land of the west not so bright as when -viewed from afar, and thus it happened that the fragile child stood upon a corner asking for alms. What was there in the childish beauty and appealing look of this little waif that so touched the heart of a passing rich man ? He stopped and questioned the little one, then followed her to her lonely home, and there front her mother learned their sad story. "Pity is akin to love." So says the proverb, and in this ease it proved to be a near relation. Now comes the most romantic part of the story, and the part moat like a fairy tale. Fortune showered her favors upon the two strangers. The first friend they had found proved to be the wealthy Mr. Maiskay, and in a surprisingly short time the little Eva had found a generous, kind father, and with the mother it was "oil with the old love, an with the new." With the widow's weeds were laid away all traces and signs of that part of her life in which poverty and trouble formed so large m part. It was but a step from poverty to dazzling wealth, and in all the following years she has ever held the brimming cup of fortune to her lips, gayly, thoughtlessly, and has yet to find the dregs which lie calmly at the bottom of tiie crystal liquid. I wonder if the Princess Colonna will ever relate Urn story of her early childhood to bar own wee son: or wiU it ever semam aa a never-to-be-revealed secret rjaieh? Jfetcr York World.

The object of the discrimination was to give the San Francisco merchants an opportunity to exact toll before it reached its natural destination.

Haddock, has been discharged, having btten unable to reach an agreement. The jury stood eleven for acquittal to one for conviction. The latter was proof against the appeals and arguments of his eleven obstinate associates, and as they were equally fixed in their opinions, the contest ends iu a drawn battle. It has been a protracted and wearisome trial, involving the examination of over one- hundred and twenty witnesses, with an immense volume of testimony. That a vast amount of perjury has been committed is apparent to all, as shown by the conflicting testimony. It is not determined when another trial will be had. It is probable it will be in the May term. (Sioux City telegram.l Judge Pendleton made the closing argument to the inry for the defense, and Hon.

(Loudon cablegram.) One of the most exciting incidents in the present Parliament occurred soon after midnight. The debate on ti e second reading of the crimes bill proceeded decorously enough until Major Sauuderson formulated a charge against the Farnellites as being associated nith crime and criminals. Ho named among the latter Patrick Ford, P. i. Sheridan, and Mr. Egan. .. Mr. Healy rose to a point of order. The Speaker replied that Major Sauuderson made the gravest charges, but these could be met in debate. He himself was unable to interfere. Healy responded that he would say what he thought of Sauuderson regardless of consequences. If Major Sauuderson referred to him, he bad no hesitation in saying that Saunderson was a liar. This remark was greeted with lousing rarnellile cheers. The Speaker called upon Healv to withdraw his expression.
Healv reulied: "I am not entitled
to rise until you sit down." The Sneaker resumed his chair. Healy again
took the floor and said: "I am only able to

The responsibility rests entirely with him-
self. It is his duty to prove it if he can, I can not allow the expression you used." Healy repeated that Snunderson was a liar. A great uproar arose. The Speaker again called upon Healy to withdraw. Healy refused. The Speaker thereupon named him, and 'W. H. Smith moved that Healy be suspended. Mr. Redmond jumped up and shouted: "I say he is a liar., too." ' The House divided on the motion to suspend Healy, which was carried 118 to 62.

In proving an alibi, the Judge hold,
the burden of proDf rests upon Ihe defendant. It must be established by preponderance of evidence, and evidence of that nature is to be critically examined and
weighed, because cf the facilities ottered for introduction of manufactured testimony. In closing tho Judge administered a severe reproof to one of the jurors, whose actions
in court and talk on the streets have been
subjects of comment. The Judge spoke as
follows:
Gentlemen, at the conclusion of this lenatbv
case, and as yon are about to retire, I ought to thank yon for your promptness in attendance and good attention. I think that no case has ever Leen tried in the courts where attorneys and iurora have made atrial nwro uleatiunt.
While I may say this with regard to the caso
and ita conduct generally, l leel i wouia not discharge my duty fully Bl ould I fail to call attention to the fact that there Is one
juror wbo troui tne time ne was sworn iu ahowna stubborn disposition and apparently
no dSBire to reach tho facts in the case. I think that I have never before seen such an exhibition of impatience and unrest as I have seen on the part of one of the jurors in this case. From day to day I have regretted It. I trust now that when that juror is called upon to act In making up a verdict in so important a case as this he will see the propriety and justice of givlnc that attention and deliberation which every fair and honest mind knows that both tbe State and defendant are entitled to. Lest this remark may bo misapplied, in view of the fact that there has been some newspaper comment
as to tho juror Adair, i may say cnat tne remanc is not intended to In any way apply to him. I have been pleased to note that he, with ten other jurors, has given good and respectful attention.
This speech created a sensation in court. The jury went into retirement at 4 o'clock
p. in. Saturday, ana remained in secmsiou until noon Sunday, when Judge Lewis called them into court and asked them if they had decided upon a verdict. Foreman
Webster, wno was tne luror so severely
criticised by the Judge in his instructions, answered that they had not. The
Judge then said he supposed each
of them had decided in his own mind as to what the verdict should be, and they replied that they had. The
Judere said that he did not wish to keep the
jury out to punish them, but to give them Z: . .. s.lik.Mi. TVtnman WTaAuita aai1
that he did not believe they wanted the case taken from them yet. There was one stubborn man on the jury, but he thought before night they could arrive at a verdict. Juror Dennis O'Connell arose and, addressing the Court, said that he had made up his mind in the case iu the fear of God and without any regard to the favor of man. He had considered the case carefully and wished to do justice as between man and man nnd to his country and his God, and
if he was kept there three or four weeks he should not change Tiis opinion. The Judge said that, this being the condition of affairs, it would probably do no good to keep the jury out longer, and he accordingly discharged Ihein. This leaves the case in the same condition as it was before tbe trial began, so far as the court is concerned. There is considerable comment on the street upon the action of the Judge, and the friends of Arensdorf are loud in their denunciation, while others say that in view of the statement of Juror O'Connell he was justified. On the first ballot the jury stood ten for acquittal and two for conviction. O. G. Goss was the other juror who voted for conviction, but after three ballots he wen.t over to the majority, leaving O'Connell alone. Juror O'Connell was interviewed by a newspaper reporter. He was asked: "Mr. Webster told Judge Lewis that you must have been bought by the prosecution. What have you to say to that?' "I have been very careful to avoid even speaking to the Judge or the State's attorneys during the progress of the trial. I always passed them without so much as saluting them." "Wouldn't there be more likelihood of bribery on the other side?" "I don't want to implicate any one," said Mr. O'Connell, significantly. "Were you offered a bribe?" "I Mias asked to name my price." "Are you willing to say for publication that you were asked to name your price?" "I am." "Was that offer made in behalf of the prosecution or the defense?" "It was in behalf of the defense." "Who made the offer." "I decline to say at present, as I do not wish to get him into trouble."
"You are a willf al, cowardly liar, and if I liad you outside the doors of this House I would cram your words down your throat." The Speaker promptly direct: d that Mr. Sexton withdraw his offensive expression, intimating that otherwise be would be compelled, with great pain, to take tbe same couse as he had done in the case of Mr. Healy. Mr. Sexton replied that if Major Baunderson would withdraw the charge he would withdraw his language. The Speaker having appealed to the Major the latter made' an explanation which satisfied Mr, Sexton. Maj. Saunderson resumed his speech. He said that Sexton was present a: a meeting at which Egaa was made Secretary of the Clcn-na-GaeH, which was a murder so. ciety of America. Sexton rose to a point of order. The Speaker advised Saunderson to withdraw the offensive expression. Another f cene of confusion ensued, Saunderson repeating his words, whereupon Sexton shouted: "The honoruble gentleman is again a liar." The Speaker again called upon both members to withdraw their offensive remarks, which they did.

jCh.cago specliil.1 A terrible and peculiar accident occurred Sunday afternoon at Palatine, a station twenty-six miles northeast of Chicago, on
the Chicago and Northwestern naiiway. By the bursting of a large railroad watertank live men were killed outright and four were seriously injured. At an early hour in the morning two freight trains collided at Palatine. Tho engines were wreoked nnd a number of cars demolished and hurled from tho track. The collision occurred directly beside a large watertonk which stands near the depot. The ground was torn up, and some of the supports must have been lowered. The water-tank had a capacity of 100.000 eallonB. and contained at the time
about 80,000 gallons. A wrecking train was sent out froni Chicago, and a large force of men set to work to clear up the wreck. As it was Sunday, and the people of the village and neighborhood were idle, a large crowd of men and boys gathered around the scene of the wreck, watching the work of the wrecking hands. As the greatest amount of work was being done right beside the water-tank, the largest crowd of spectators collected there. Men and boys stood around and under the water-tank, and leaned against the large posts supporting it. Suddenly there was a report, in volume as loud as tbe discharge of ten ordinary pieces of musketry, and the structure collapsed. The great sides of the tank were forced outward, the haops parted like threads, and, under the weight of 80,000 gallons of witter, the heavy, watersoaked limbers and wrought iron descended on the heads of the unfortunates underneath. It would be impossible to picture the sight. Hemmed under the parted tank, and for a moment totally submerged In the deluge that followed, were the people caught in tho crush. When the water had flowed off the work of but a second five men, instantly killed, could be seen through tha crevices of the piled-up staves. The following are those who were killed and injured: Eciward Wouke, of Palatine, killed; William Garms, of Palatine, billed; George Mver, boy, of Arlington Heights, killed; William Myer, brother of tho preceding, of Arlington Heights, killed; Frederick Boeger, of Arlington. Heights, killed; John Asmust, of Palatine, crushed about the head, probably fatal; Charles Storms, a boy, of Palatine, probably fatally injured; Augustus Fisher, of Palatine, severely bruised; unknown man, of Palatine, badly bruised.
