Among t were a family of three persons—evidently father, | mother and daughter, the latter apparently | about tifteen—Soung Fry, anda young lady, ap- parently seventeen or eighteen years old. Of aH who had jumped tnto the river the light of the buraing vessel showed only oue here and | there struggling in the water, or swimming away, the river having closed over the others. ‘Those who remained on the deck hastily rolled overboard several bales of hay which the fire had not yet hed, to be seized it possible if ihey were compelled to take to the water.

He reached it in safety, and, giving the girl in charge of people who were hélpless wit- nesses of the feartul scene in the river, re- ed to render ald to the young lady he had left. He was gone only a few minutes, but, dur- ing his absence, the four men On the bale of hay had been, in turn, driven off by fire, and were all drowned. A boat had also reached the scene from Neeley’s Landing. Out of the 200 passen- gers and the crew of twenty, only thirty-five were saved. The girl rescued by young Fry was = to Toledo, O., Where she sald she had friends. A year ago last month Fry was In Cincinnati, transacting some business for a house in St. Louis, in whose employ he has been for several years. An acquaintance of bis insisted on taking him to call at the residence of a friend oneevening. He met there and was introduced to aMys. Richmond, a widow of great personal attraction. She had been a widow for three years, and was then only twenty-four. She was visiting at the house where Fry met ker, her home being in Chicago. Fry fell in love with Mrs, Richmond. They corresponded for several months, when the traveling it made the young widow an offer of marriage’ and she ac- cepted it. A day early in the pi nt month was selected for the wedding. Fi ent to Chi- cago the last of November. A few days before the wedding he and his betrothed were laying out a route for the wedding tour. She told him to select any route that pleased him, the travel- ing of which did not oblige them to’ go any dis- tance whatever by water. She manifested such horrer of traveling by water that Fry was curi- ous to know what had caused it. His astentsh- ment may be imagined when she related (@ him the terrible experience of the night of O%over ‘27, 1869, on the Mississippi, during the burning of the steamer Stonewall, on which she wast passenger, and at whieh’ tims her father and mother were drowned. Mrs. Richmond was none other than the girl of fifteen whom Fry ad rescued on that memorabie night. By the sad death of her parents she had been left with a few thousand dollars, but no nearrelatives. At the age of nineteen, to obtain a home. she :aarried ‘rank Richmond, of Chicago, a dealer in wheat. Hé became a bankrupt, and died in 1875, since which time she had made her home among his and her friends. What Kept Running in the House- Keepers Wind at Charch oa Cirist- mas.

Man,as distinguished from womanshas no con- ception of the vast influence exerted by the fashion plates and patterns that.are scat- tered over the land by the publishers of women’s periodicals.. When the present generation was young, the fashion plate ‘Was regarded solely as a work of art, to admired for its intrinsic beauty, and not a guide to the talloring or dress- making intellect. In that remote and simple Ume, the bar-room of the country tavern was decorated with colored pictures 0: men in trans- cendent ‘trousers and giloritied coats. and the legend “Genio C. Scott,” appended to these pic- lures, was properly esteemed to be that a renowned painter. Occasionally a country tailor displayed one of Mr. Scott's beautiful works on the wallof his Shop, but he never dreamed that earthly coats and realistic trous- ers should be cut in accordance with the painter's ideal. When Genio C Scott died, a few weeks ago, a generation that did not remember him as a maker of tailors’ patterns mourned him exclu- stvely as an eminent fishing person, learned in fiies and unrivaled in his judgment as to to bait; but in the fastnesses of the Berkshire county hill towns and the remote villages of Norhern New Hampshire the memory of Svott, the artist, still survives, and his fashion-plates are still treasured in the “spare chamber” or the ‘‘keep- ing-room” as among the grandest works of mod- ern painters, and the only worthy rivals of the paintings in'the Washington Capitol. Itis Only within the last twenty years that the true uses of fashion plates have become famillar to the American people. At the pres- ent day it is estimated that every American | wi man consumes an average quantity of five hion plates and seventeen paper patterns per annum. The latter are as Greek to the un- learned man, and foolishness to the wisest. of his sex. They are, in appearance, large sheets of thin brown paper, covered with scores of in- tricate and interlacing curves and full of straight lines and angles intersecting one another in the most confusing and maddening. way. But in these mysterious hieroglyphics He hidden th secrets of skirts and the promise and pote! waists and talmas and gussets of the utmost magnificence. Woman can read them with an ease that would put Champoliion and his ablest disciples to the biush. She can translate them into silk and poplin and caltco witkout making a single error of scissorial syntax, and with- out the = slightest hesitation in that intricate system of punctuation in whi “gathers” and “yokes” and ‘tucks” take the place of commas and periods. With the help of these patterns, the Oshkosh woman clothes herself ina style materially different trom that prevailing among the lilies of the fleld,but much more satisfactory to her personal wishes. Shal- low philosophers have often wondered how It is that a new bonnet which breaks out in New York on a given day will be found in St. Louts three days later, and will s; over the whole country with a rapidity that leaves the best time made by a cholera epidemic far in the rear. It is the enormous circulation of paper patterns which works this seeming miracle, and to it alone 1s due the uniformity of dress which char- acterizes our twenty million ef women. In spite of the benefits which paper patterns have conferred upon women, these benetitshave not been unalloyed with evil. At least such is the opinion of the wife and daughters of a -newly elected Representative from one of our Western territories. When this gentleman— who may be called Smith—received his certitl- cate of election, his family announced that they intended to gu to Washington with him, and to tat end must have some new and fashionable clothes. Accordingly, they wrote to a cousin residing in New York, and asked for a supply of paper patterns of the latest fashion. The cousin was an estimable lady, who had kept with re- jigious care nearly all the patterns that had been Issued for the last twenty years, ana she instantly complet with the request. The Smith family made their new clothing in accordance with the patterns received, and were somewhat, surprised to tind how materially they differed in style from the dresses worn by the ladies at Fort ‘Tecumseh, Like prudent women, they wore their usual clothes on the journey to Washing- ton, where they arrived on Saturday night. The next morning they dressed themselves with great care, and accompanied Mr. Smith to the Third Baptist ehureh, They went, back to the hotel in tears, and no sooner had they reached their rooms than. Mrs. Smith, in the presence of her astonished hus- band, tore her new dress instantly from her re- spectable person and trampled with fury on her uew hat. She then that cousin Mary was beyond all controversy the most wicked and unfeeling woman that had ever lived. “What did she send us fashions that were twenty years old for? She wanted us to fools of Ourselves by wearing Loos and ious bonnets, when not another living soul in Washingion wears them! Ill get even with that woman yet, if I die for it.” Thus the in- digrant and wro) woman eased her mind, while she_hurrie eked her trunk, and by the early Monday train fled with her daughters back to the secrecy of their frontier home. It all due to an error on the part of the ‘el!-meaning cousin, who had accidentally sent the fashion-plates of 1858 instead of those of 1878. The misery wrought by this mistake was deep and lasting, and the incident, patnful as it vas, 1s worth relating, since tt may warn other cousins to be more careful, and incite other ter- ritorial women to first make sure of the date of thcir patterns before putting implicit trust in them.—(¥.

He said that it was condemned by the priesthood and it the saints could not get along without round dances they had better go home. The young people remonstrated with him, but all to no purpose, “If you must waltz, let me show you iow todo it,” said he, and he got on the floor with a 183-pound blonde. The band struck up the “Blue Danube,” and down the hall glided the Bishop and the blonde. The tips of her fingers touched his and a cruel cold space be- tween them. This was the church method— the arms-length waltz. Soon there was a slight contraction of the arms and the space between them gradually decreased. Presently one arm encircled the fair form. ‘The blonds was the first to give way, and her cheek looked like a sunflower in a turnip tield as it restedon the shoulder of the Bishop.

Playing at the G: ec of War. NEW AMUSEMENTS FOR OFFICERS OP THE ARMY— INSTRUCTION AND PLEASURE COMBINED—THE CHANCES OF WAR. ‘Training for war in time of peace, even in America, has been shown to be a matter of 1m- port: The introduction of a om intended to increase the tactical skill ef officers, recently at Fort Hamilton, and still more recently at Gen. Hancock’s headquarters on Governor's Is- jJand, indicates a te of this fact. The e is called Kriegsspiel, or Game of War. A general description of the method of playing the game and the benefits supposed ‘to result from it are given herewith. RULES AND METHODS OF THE GAME. The Game of War. or Kriegsspicl, as it is called in German, was invented by a Prussian named von Reiswity, and worked out in detail by his Son, who was an artillery officer in the Prussi wm army. Ithas long engaged the attention of the officers in the Prussian armies, and Count von Moltke was at one time the president of a society formed for the express purpose of playing th> game. During the Franco-Prussian war the ublic Was astonished at the minute knowledge Prussian officers had of French territory. The Copan was very simple. The Prussian officers had played the Game of War for years upon maps representing the topography of French territory. Following a knowledge of this tact, Increased attention has been given to | the gamé in France, England and otter European counties. Aside from tactical instruction, it makes officers familiar with the spaces occupied by vartous division of troops, deployed, in line of march or otherwise disposed, and the time required to transfer bodies of men from one point to another. ‘she game consists of a representation of the lman@tvers of troops upon a map prepared for the perp In Europe flat maps made to rep- resent the topography of the country have been used—In mahy cases representing particular sections. Lieutenants Postley and Pratt, at Fort Hainilton, have improved upon these very materially by constructing a_plaster-of-paris ap upon v h’ch the configuration of the land ‘s remesented by elevations, depressions and level plains. Upon this map rivers and streams ire indicated by streaks of paint, and roads are jlatnly mari miniature vill are con- structed out of blocks, even to the detail of the church steeple; woodlands are represented by green worsted-work, and fences are built of fine wire and pins, The map—which is about 5 by 4 feet In dimensions—is drawn on a scale of 4 inches to a mile, and consequently represents a considerable area. In making preparations for play at Fort Co- lumbus a map 1s now being modelled tn p! ofparis to represent a particular part of lish territory. This is an improvement on the one at Fort Hamilton, whieh is not a copy of #ny particular place. The troops are indicated by small movable metal blocks, one set being colored red and the other blue. A commander- in-Chief is appropriately represented. Different bodies of troops are represented by %locks of various sizes, bearing various devices further to mark the distinction. A half battalion in line 1s represented by an oblong segment of metal, und the same body in quarter column by a seg- ment approaching a square in shape. To de- note a squadron of cavalry a small square is cut cn its face by a diagonal line, and one section is painted red or blue. Artillery forces are rep- resented by oblong blocks of different dimen- sions, cut by lines and decorated in various ways. todenote the different divisions and ens tions of the troops; and so on through all the divisions of the infantry, cavalry ang artillery. ‘Lhe blocks are carefully made to cofrespond to the seale of the map. As it is impossible to introduce the elements of superior courage and training, or to calculate the full effect of artillery fire, it is necessary to use tables carefully prepai on the data fur- uished by active In conjunction with dice. By this meas actual war ts approached early as possible, and to a degree of reality, it fs claimed, that can in no other way be ob- ined. In this respect, it may be said, the game superior to field mancpuvres in time of peace, as the commanders of the forces are actually pitted against each other and the chances of War are calculated by means of the tables with 2 great degree of accuracy. ‘The success or failure of an attack depends upon several conditions. The nature of the : ea the numerical strength of the o| nr orces, whether the troops are fresh or fatigued, whether in order or disorder, etc., are taken into account, and to facilitate a decision with refer- ence to these points atable is prepared to be used in conjunction with dice. In many instan- ces in real warfare one of two opposin; will have decided advantage over the other; but though the defeat of the weaker side ts highly probable, the uncertainty of war is such that defeat in the game cannot be said to be certain. it is the object of the table to represent the de- gree of probability with which success or fail- ure may occur under various circumstances, or to supply in the game what in actual engage- ments may be termed the chances of war. HOW PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED. In conducting the’ game, if it is intended to represent Manoeuvres on a small scale it is only necessary to have three persons. Two of these command the Opposing sides and one acts as umpire to settle disputes and to decide peculiar cases which arise in the progress of the game. When the manoeuvres are on a large scale there should be subordinate officers to carry out the orders in detail, so as to leave the superior offi- cers free to give commands. It is not neeernil that all the officers Laeine part should be fa mii- iar with all the rules. The only requirements ure that they should learn what the blocks of metal iepresent; should be able in some measure to read a map, and have some knowledge of the Jeading pee verning the march of troops and thir disposition in action. The duties of the ur pire are man!fold, and require an accu- ruleek! Owledge on his part of the tactics of war and the conventional rules of the game. He must see that the movements are made accord- ing to the proper measurements, must criticise faulty dispositions, and decide all doubtful ques- Uons that come up in the progress of the game. Af the conclusion he also decides who has geined the advantage. Beto; e the game is opened the umpire states the general nature of the operations to each of the commanding officers, and also the special object which each fs to endeavor to obtain. The first statement is called the “general idea,” and 1 is:ued to each commanding officer, as it re- jates to what is supposed to be known’ to both. ‘rte base and principal line of operation are Stated, but nothing is furnished which in actual war would not be in rghrecierd of both opposing Trees. The “special idea” of one force differs 1 cm that of the other, It should contain the 8 rength and composition of the force, the spot i.t which it has arrived, the immediate objective yoint in view, the date and hour, any informa- ‘ion which may be in sion of the com- tnander of the force of the strength, movements cr disposition of the enemy. When each commander has carefully studied the general and special tdeas put into his hands he sends the dispositions which he proposes: to make Of his troops, in writing, to the umpire, Stating the manner in which he proposes to divide his forces Into advanced guard,main body end reserve, and when n Tear guard. ‘The general lne of outposts 1s indicated, and the detachments are named which are to furnish them. Brigade orders—the same in form and substance as those given in the field—are also remulgated. It is also stated what position ts to be ovcupieg by the officer in command. After these preliminaries are arranged the requisite number of metal blocks representing battalions, Latteries, squadrons, etc., 1s distributed to each citicer in command and divided by them into ad- anced guard, main body, reserve, etc.; the spe- cial objects of the proposed movements are communicated to the subordinates. To make the game as real as possible, the map is so covered up that each officer is only jermitted to see so much of the enemy's inovements ag he would sea under tho | Same circumstances in the field. After a com- inander has ordered a certain movement of his lorces to be made, he retires behind a screen aul bis opponent has made his move, Some- Umes the game is played on duplicate maps, the ofiicers occupying separate rooms, but this 1s not the usual method. As soon as the game is epened all direct personal communication be- tween the commanders-in-chief and the com- anders of divisions and brigades is to cease, except in cases where they are occupying the seme spot. Orders from’ the commander-in- chiefs and communications in return from the suberdinate officers are passed through the umpire and delivered after the proper time has e npeee tay the time required in the field under similar circumstances. Orderlies carry- ing messages and individual officers are allowed, under ordinary circumstances, to move at the rate of S00 or 900 ina lod of two minutes. Where a fleld telegraph 1s available it Is supposed to take two minutes for the trans- — ot o = 'y use of the table prepared for recording Ume and losses the ump? re is able to note the ‘Ume at which reports or orders are dispatched, the number of the mere in which any ot of troops 15 to is made. The by an assistant ferences in position must be taken into consider- ation if any advantage ts given to one side or the other; whether the troops are fresh or fatigued, repulsed or defeated, or victorious; whether one ‘side or both are protected by any kind of cover as hedges. fences,roads or hotises, the method of attack, and whether any surprises are made by either of the coping forces. AlLof the different conditions and results of cavalry and artillery attacks and defences are provided for, and engagements take place asthe game proceeds as in regular wartafe, the dice being used only to determine the chances of war. There are also rules relating to the at- tack and defence of vi the destruction of BI barricades, et and transfer e of prisoners and the various circumstances attending attacks made under cover of dark- ness. ‘The game proceeds from hour to hour, and from day to day, until the engagement or cam- paign, as the case may be, is naturally brought to a close and one side or the other declared the winner.—(¥. Y. Dritun A Romance of the Period. (Chicago Tribune.} s Within the dim recesses of a cloistered chapel hat iormed part of an ancient castle whose tur- rets and pinnacles shone like German silver toothpicks in the calm, cool moonlight of a winter's night, knelt a maiden, and as the light streamed through the tall windows that skirted the apartment, it fell ona face of surpassing loveliness. That face was the girl's, and across it now and then swept a look of anguish which showed that there was something gnawing at her young heart like a canker-worm, corroding with the rust of misery the inner portals of her soul, and plowing up her young face with the fw- JOWS of care, Sucdenly she buried her face in her delicate jands, on the forefinger of one of which sparkled an almost, priveless gem. A convul- siv. shudder passed through her frame, cau: 1. g it to writhe as if in the agony of despair. W Lat could it mean? Suddenly a voice was heard outside, and the hinges of the drawbridge creaked mourntualy us the warden let the old thing down. A sound of footsteps followed, and a voice cried: “What bo; within there!” 0. It was a solitary horseman, and he had got safely over the brow of the hill mL Quickly springing from his foaming steed, the Knight rapped loudly at_ the door of the castle, which was opened by the maiden whom we saw erstwhile in the cloistered chapel. With a glad cry she fell into his ulster, and his good right arm tightened around her waist until at least two inches of slack could have been taken up in her corget-strings, Iv. : He was Sir Rogerde Hugger, and the maiden was his affianced, = H ¥.

The end. THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE. The Funny Story of the New Ope- retta by Sullivan and Gilbert. The Pirates of Penzance were the most ruth- less and accomplished cut-throats. who eyer scuttled a White Star steamer. Thetrlair wasa rocky place on the coast of Cornwall, remote enough for quiet andyet convenient for business, With equal ease they could swoop from their hiding upon the Liverpool and New York mail packets or cut out the full-freighted argosies which ply between Boulogne and Folkestone in connection with the tidal trains of the South- eastern Railway. Yet, as their chief mournful- ly observed, somehow they never could make piracy ay, This unfortunate failure was due to the tenderness of their hearts. They were far too ready to spare the weak; and when they attacked the strong they always got thrashed. It_was their rule to have mercy upon orphans. “Though we are Pirates,” said the Chiet, ‘we are not insensible to the promptings of human- ity: we are orphans ourselves and we know how pe The troubie was it Bo about that they always orphans, and as a conse- queace every aulp they captured was found (if the captives told the ao to be manned and officered entirely by that interesting and afflict- ed class. Yet, as one of the pirates remarked, itis certain that the British mercantile marine is not recruited exclusively from orphans. Itis with the picturesque rufflans of Penzance that the new comic opera by Messrs. Sullivan and Gilbert has to do, The hero of the piece is a young man named Frederic, who was in- u toa nurse in early childhood to be ap- prenticed toa pilot. The good woman made a Slight mistake, and the boy was firmly inden- tured to a band of pirates—an error for which the nurse could hardly be blamed, since the words are so much alike. Frederic was a most excellent person and a useful pirate. In all his actions he was governed by the strictest sense ovduty. Those who have read in the Bab Bal- lads the story of ‘ Captain Reece, commanding of the Nantlepiece,” are well aware that Mr. Gil- bert has a keen appreciation of the heroism of duty, and that he excels in analyzing the opera- Uons of a mind controlled by a sacred sense of cb.igation. The character of I'rederic, torn by co1 flicting emotions, loathing tue trade of tneft and pillage, yet doing violence to his natural impulses in stern fidelity to the bond of inden- ture, is happily and powerfully drawn, and the surprising complications which result from his strange | tuation are treated with the greatest spgenulty, fhe opera fs in two acts, The first takes place in the Pirate’s lair, and when the action egins Frede: ic is within a few hours of theend oi his apprenticeship. At 12o0’clock he wili be twenty-one years of age. He informs the band that Le is about to leave them forever, He loves, edmires, reveres them as comrades: he detests them as pirates, and it his purpose to devote the remaincer of his existence to their extermina- tion, Of this resolve, since it is prompted by a sense of duty, the pirates find 1t unreasonable to complain, and at the end of the act the sepa- jation accordingly takes place. Not, however, until there have been some stirring ‘scenes, A Levy of charming girls, looking, in their high- waisted and shot irted gowns, and their broad hats, as pretty as a picture by Gains- borough, come tipping over the rocks ari pre- Fare to amuse themselves by paddling in the water. They are caught with one shoe off, and their alarm is piquantly expressed tn a bopping it ug! chorus, to which the pirates contribut Getermined to get married immediately tl the instrumentality of A doctor of divinit; Located in the vicluity. ‘The discovery that all these girls are “ Wards in Chancery and the daughtersof a major gene- ral” is quickly followed by the appearance of thelr military papa. This personage has supplied with a rattling “patter-song,” which can hardly fa" of 4 great effect. Studded thick with scientific terms of tremendous length and difficulty, it recounts the accomplishments ot the distinguished officer, who seems to be thor- oughly versed in astronomy, Mathematics, na- tural history and nearly all branches of science except, inceed in military affairs. The rapid Gellvery of this song 1s occasionally interrupted ina aay ludicrous manner by the General’s hesitation fora rhyme.
