Last Saturday aliout sundown, four miles east of this place, on Biloxi Bay occurred a scene cal culated to send a thrill of horror through every human heart, atid to make even the boldest tremble with fear. Two little girls, daughters of Mr. Elam R. Black- well, living back of bay ol Biloxi, while bathing in the bay, imme diately in Iront of his dwelling, w-ere attacked by an enormous alligator. The eldest, a girl of aboiit seven years of age, was holding the youngest an infant of two 3'ear3, in her liands, and was quietly enjoyisig^ her bath ■when suddenly iier little sister was si’iatehed Rom her and borne sw'iftly from tho shore, 'rerri- fied 'bevond measure, and un able to i-ender sm y iis.sistaiice to her unfortunate sister, the eldest girl UTTERED A SCREAM, which was quicki)-caught b}' the ear of the father, wlio happened, acculeutalh’, to be passing within thirty or fort)' yards of the spot wherohis daughters were bathing. .Realizing instaiifcly, from tho tone of the voice, th.at his children w'cre iu some peril, but unable-to conjecture its exact nature, Mr. Blackwell, who is an active and athletic man, rushed rapidly to their assistance, and arrived at the spot just in time to discover his little daughter being borne out into the bay by an alligator. Comp-rehending the scene at oncst, aiid nerved to almost suporhaman elfort by the d.osperato sit;iation of his child, the agonized father leaped madly into the ivater in pursuit of the w'ould-be destroy er of his daughter, which w-as then some tweuty-five or thirty yards from shore. The ivater, for a distance of forty or fifty yards out into the bay from the point wdiore the children wore bathing, ranges in depth from one and a half to tw;o feet, and then suddenly attains a depth of forty or fifty feet, and both the animal (which had by this time discovered the pursuit) and the father seemed to realize that ' the deep water immediately in front of them once reached, PURSUIT AND RECOVERY would be alike impossible : both therefore redoubled their efforts, the one to reach the point, the other to prevent it In this struggle, although sinking to his waist in the soft mud'at tho bot tom at each bound, the father w'as successful. He succeeded, iu grasping his child by the arm about ten feet from deep water the alligator, w'hich all the while held the childls foot in'Its mp'ttth, perceiving itself overtaken,: and alarmed and confused by the boldness' of the assault, released its hold and made 'its way; rap idly into ,tho deep water ifi front of It Tho father, completely ex hausted, raised his child out o the water, and preceiving that it still lived, by a desperate effort succeeded in regaining the shore and depositing the child safely in the arms of its mother., The little girl is unhurt with the ex ception of a couple of bruises on its foot, made by the teeth of the monster. •aESSJSOMLY.” 0 thou, dear Lord, who stayost When all the guests aro gone, Wlieu in its silent chambers The soul sits down alone.

In the- midst of hard times tho tendency is to economise in tho matter of subscriptions to religious newspapers, and clmrcli and missions funds, instead of in the direction of tho luxuries of life where all economy ought to begin. This is like closing the faucet, while you keep the bung hole open.
