[From tlio JtiHton Herald. ]
Tlio hero of th adventures recorded
kctow arrived in Boston a few days ago
aw a atoker on au English steamer, but
ilia caae having lieeome known to the
captain of the vessel, he was discharged
here, and doubtless in now enjoying the
comforts of hia fatlicr'a home in Centra]
New York.
II seems that tliia young man gradu
ated from a prominent law Hobool in New
York City in the fall of 1881, and, with
ample funda, furnished by hia father,
alui m the company of a number of hia
schoolmates, who were quite willing to
In Ip him to apend hia money, started on
an extended tour among the “divea” that
abound in the metropolia. To the beat
of hia recollection, their tour occupied
acvcral daya, and the hud thing that the
young man remembera of life on aliore
wkh a low reaort in South street, New
York, where the company wan, in great
part, made up of thoao who go down to
the wen in shq>s.
Ilia next sensation was that of being
loaned and knocked about, inaamnll bunk
iin the close forecastle of some veaael.
.Stal ling to hia feet and working hia way
.slowly on deck, he found that he wua iu
deed at sea, no land being in sight. Sick
with the iinuaual motion of the veaael,
and weak from a long debauch, he en
deavored to find out where he was and
hmv he came there.
The first mate told him that he had
ahipixsl on the vessel ill New York na a
common seumui, and thut, if they hud
good luck, he would find himself at Port
Sasl, in Egypt, in about sixty days. He
endeavored to reason with the otlieer;
.told him ho was not a sailor; thut he
know nothing of the sea, and that he hud
never voluntarily signed the vessel's
paiiern.
ffis protestations were of little Use,
however, as the bark, for such the vessel
|(roved to lie, was abort-handed, and
every man on lioard wua needed to work
lier.
Knowing nothing of the workings of
a veaael, hia jsiaition was a horrible one.
The trip aoroaa proved unusually stormy,
awl by the time the vessel entered the
Mediterranean the abducted man wua in
a sorry condition.
Arriving at Port Said, he waa taken
violently siekwith a fever, and was plueed
in the hospital, whence he came forth in
about a month almost a skeleton. Hav
ing no mouoy, no friends, and not know
ing wlnit to do, he wandered about the
streets of this desert city by day iud at
night he lay in his hammock, listening
to the straws of strange music na they
floated from eenoert hall and cafe. Final
ly, driven to desperation, he managed to
secure a berth as atoker on an English
steamer, hoping almost against nope
that-something would turn up that would
enable him to reach hia home and friends
in the Uuited States.
Alsiut this time war between England
Mid Egypt broke out, and tho steamer
<m which the young man was employed
was engaged ni transporting refugees
from Alexandria and Port Said. Shortly
afterward he was present with Ilia vessel
At tho lKimhardment and capture of
Alexandria, and, witli true Western en
terprise, he secured many valuable relies
of that historic struggle.
At the close of the war hia ship waa
ordered to England and thence to this
■port, anil, after an enforced abaonco of
over a year, ho landed in Boston. Hia
reception at tho house of his father, who
long siueo gave him up as lost, may well
imagined.

Washington was in 1843 the greatest
•lave mart iu the United Htatos, save
John Wentworth. Within the sight of
till- Capitol, and not far from the lower
Re, and near it, if not upon, the land
where the Public Garden now is, was a
building with a large yard around it, in
closed with a high fence. Thither slaves
wore brought from all the slaveholding
regions and sold. There were regular
auction days for those not disposed of at
private sale. The Chicago lire destroyed
• hard cracker which 1 had preserved as
a specimen by which the purchasers
tested the age of slaves. And to this
dsy, if there is anything that the aver
age Southern negro does not know, it is
his own age. The slaves were placed
upon a block, and when a Question arose
as to his age, the auctioneer requested
him to bite from a cracker which all the
slave auctioneers kept for such occa
sions. The theory was that while a
skive could mnaticate well he could
work. Nearly all the lalior of Washing
ton was performed by slaves, many of
whom were hired from' the neighboring
States. The slaves were expected to
collect thoir wages monthly and take
them home on some Saturday night
One morning I missed my Knits, and
when I went for the bootblack he was
Blissing also. After a few days I saw a
procession of enptured slaves, who had

*nd there I saw my liootblack trudging
•long in my l toots. I had made a suc
cessful canvass for Congress iu those
boots, but they failed the slave in his
canvass for freedom.

(Im4 Time af u Kvealas.
The young people assemble early in
the evening, and all sit down together
to a generous, home-like aupjK-r, to
fortify themselves for the labor that is to
come. These is no mincing of dainties
with alternate pronga of (esthetic forks,
and sipping from cut-glass thimbles, and
dipping of Angers in perfumed finger-
Ikjwlb, but each sturdy lad and lass lays
hold with an honest appetite and eats
what is set liefore them with a zest which
causes the good housewife’s face to shine
like a winter night’s moon. After supper
they all go out into the big kitchen.
Here the “help,” with cheeks all aAre,
is stirring a great kettle of golden molas
ses which stands on the stove.
Already it lias In come so thick and
rich that the iron spoon leaves a slowly
closing furrow In-hind it at every revolu
tion, and the help avows that her “arm
is broke,” uud pronounces the mixture
done to a turn and “ready for tho coolin’.”
Off conies the big kettle, and goes
steaming out the door for a hath iu the
snow. Now, with much laughter on the
part of the girls, and bashful blushing
on the part of the lwiys, an astounding
number of antiquated aprons make their
appearance, and presently every lari is
transformed into an anomalus creature
whose sex you are at liberty to question.
Then the girls tie ou their own dainty
little protectors, and—proceed to roll up
their sleeves.
I’lntos of melted lard and butter are
then brought out, each penon taking a
little of the unguent to smear hia or her
hands, so that the strands of molasses
will not stick to them. Now, from vari
ous parts of the room may be heard tho
low-voiced query: “May I pull with
yon, Miss ?” or “Has anyone asked
you to pull with him ?” Gradually all
pair off, exeejit here and there an over
bashful lad and retiring maiden, who,
after many deproenting glances, are fi
nally brought together and made inex
pressibly happy in saccharine partner
ship. Tho ladle, deep-plunged ill the
golden mass and brought up with viscid
streams trickling slowly from point and
sides, furnishes each pair of candy-pullers
with a “rope” to tie and untie between
them with all the curious figures of tho
Gordian knot of youthful fancy.
To and fro they sway, drawing out the
golden strand, and doubling it ngain,
hand to hand, eye to eye, drawing and
doubling, twisting and folding, winding
and breaking, till at last the amber
colored rope grows white and hard, and
taxes their united strength to draw it out.
Then it is carefully pulled into a long,
slender rod nudlnid upon the table, broke
into -ticks of tho proper length, and nil tho
buttered plates filled with the crisp.bits.
The candy-pullers then wash their hands,
resume their company garb and do
meauor, and return to the parlor or sit
ting-room, where they regale themselves
with the fruit of their labors till fairly
surfeited with sweets. Then come the
games of the evening—bliud-muu’s-buff,
drop the handkerchief, throw tho cushion,
button, button, who's got the button?
forfeits, quits, and half-a-dozen other ex
tremely transparent methods of getting
the opposite poles of tho human buttery
together and effecting nu exchange of
electricity.
After tliiH kind of thing lias lasted till
nearly midnight, tho sudden np|H‘nrum:e
of the good liulv of the house, with a cer
tain untilistnkuljlo restraint in ho? man
ner, announces that the festivities nre,
or ought to !>e, at an end. Tlio game
grows very uninteresting nil of a sudden,
and n general leave-taking begins. In
ten minutes tlio house is deserted, and
nothing remains to tell of the recent fes
tivitii's, except some empty, buttered
plates and five or six lndf-melted sticks
of candy clinging to tho table-spread or
trodden into the carpet. Dreams, it may
lie, not as sweet n< the mutually divided
rope of molasses candy, will visit tho
pillows of tho candy-pullers at night;
tint if so, that for which mankind lias al
ways sighed, and failed to realize, may
at last come true, and the reality prove
iweetor than the dream.
The Earl of Derby.
A London letter says: Let mo finish
my description of tho man by a few par
ticulars os to his private 'life. What
made tho attacks by Lord Salisbury up
on la>rd Derby a little more strange was
the fact that tho two wero relatives—
close relatives; for, though they are
nlxmt the same nge, Lord Derby is a
kind of stepfather to the Marquis of Sal
isbury. The father of the present Lord
Salisbury married for the secoud time
when ho was a comparatively old man,
and long after tho birth of his son and
heir. When old Salisbury died, Lord
Derby married the widow. It was, in
deed, a curious match: for at tho time
of the marriage the bridegroom was
almut forty-eight years of ago, and the
bride was forty-five or forty-six. There
have l>eon no children, and Lord Derby’s
title and vast estates go to the children of
his brother, Col. Stanley, with whom, I
think, he is not on the very best of terms.
Of oourse, rumor published many stories
to account for a matrimonial arrange
ment so peculiar, and tho generally ac
cepted story was that Lord Derby and
his present wife had.loved in youth ; and
that, os his love remained constant, he
seized the opportunity of marrying her
when the death of her elderly husband
left her free. The physique of Lord
Derby is very peculiar. ’ He is a toll anil
very muscular man. I have heard it
said that he could fell trees better than
Gladstone nt any time, though of course
he uoveryhnd the nrt of the grand old
man in making it a matter of public and
historic interest. But, though toll, stout,
aud well built, Derby is far from au im
posing or handsome' man. There is an
extraordinary disproportion between tlie
bulk of his body and tho smallness of
his ballet-shaped head; his nose is flat
aud deformed, as if he hail been at one
time a member of the prize ring ; and he
has some defect iu the palate of his
mouth, which muffles his voice and com
pletely destroys his effectiveness ns an
orator. He snuffles rather than speaks.
Counting an Army.
It is related that when Lee’s army was
pnssipg through Gettysburg, Mr. Me-v
--sersmith, cashier of the bank, standing
on the bank steps, undertook to ascer
tain their number, tallying every 100 on
a slip of paper in lu3 hand A rebel offi
cer ordered him to desist under threat of
arrest. Mr. Messersmith politely bowed,
went to his barn, procuring 100 grains of
corn, which he held in his right hand
thrust into his pantaloons pocket He
took his stand on the stops of the bank,
like any other careless looker-on, and for
every 100 men he dropped a grain. When
his hand was empty he had numbered
10,000 men, and then he gathered the
grains up again to repeat the census.
Thus he stood in the hot sun oounting
till he had numbered the entire host—
-60,000. The night after Hie march he
oommunicated to Governor Curtin tho
Information he had thus gained.— J2*.
The Australasian Mine.
DETAILS OF THE DISASTER—HOW THE
MINERS WERE CAUGHT IN THE DRIFT.
The Sydney (N. S. W.) Herald has
the following details of the disaster at
the Australasian mine on December 12:—
The accident occurred at half-post five
o’clock a. m., in the drift from No. 2
shaft, which uuexpectcdlydiroke into the
old workings of No. 1 shaft. The water
rushed in with great force, and in a few
minutes the lower levels were fiooded
and the water had risen thirty feet in the
shaft. The men employed at this point
fied for their lives along the drift to the
station, where twelve reached the cage
and were hoisted to the surface. Twenty
seven men in another part of the new
workings were unable to reach the shnft,
and their only hope was that they might
l>e able to reach and ascend distant wings
leading to the iqiper level. The scene
at the top of the shaft was pitiful,
mothers, wives, children and friends
being gathered there, waiting almost
without hope for news from lielow. Tho
pumps, throwing 44,000 gallons per hour,
were at once started, and all the miners
in the district assembled to lend assist
ance. The liody of water was so gTeat
that the pmffjis lowered it very slowly,
and a diver was sent for to attempt to
penetrate the mine to learn the fate of
those below, but the project was found
impracticable.
On the afternoon of the 13th the wa
ter was only breast high in the drift
where tho men were supposed to be,
and an attempt was made to reach them
by wading, but the vitiated air drove
back the relief party. Several similar
attempts were made during the night,
and at about seven o’clock on the morn
ing of the 14th two searchers came up
the shaft cheering, ■ and reported that
near winze No. 11 they heard tho words,
“It’s all right; we are all right.” At
about six o'clock in the evening word
came up tho shaft that the lost were
found. The news spread like wildfire,
and tho whole neighlioi'hood flocked to
the shaft. Tanks were improvised as
carriages in which to ryisc the men to
the surface, and a half hour later John
Manly was brought up alive. He had
been caught by going to warn his com
rades of danger when he might have
escaped.
Soon four others were brought lip, nil
greatly exhausted, but they are now in u
fair wav to recover. The engorose again,
when tlio terrible truth was learned that
twenty-two men remaining iu the mine
had perished.
The whole party had lieen caught in
tho drift, the water rising so high that
only by clinging to tho timbers could
they keep their chins above it. One by
one during the sixty hours’ struggle
they had dropped off exhausted and were
drowned iu the flood, the strongest only
being able to hold on until relief came.
The bodies were found scattered about
on the floor of tho drift.
The victims were interred on the 16th,
business being generally suspended ou
that day.
A liberal subscription lias been token
up for the families of the dead miuers.

How to Do It.
We are frequently asked regarding
ihe best manner of dropping money iuto
the contribution-box at church, and after
carefully considering the subject wo
suggest the following rules ; First, if
you feel particularly mean, and have
only a penny to bestow, you must hold
it well covered in your hand, aud when
the box is under your nose you must,
with a quick, nervous motion, let your
mite fall so that it shall escape observa
tion ; secoud, if you have a quarter, or
any other silver coin of a considerable
size to you, yon must hold it in plain
sight between your thumb and tore-fin
ger, aud when you deposit it you must
let it drop from a comparatively lofty el
evation, so that it may make a musical
jingle when it reaches its destination ;
thirdly, if you contemplate offering a
lull yon must uot take the money out of
your vest pocket until the happy time
comes when vour neighbor can best see
your unparalleled generosity. The mo'
meut the collector appears 'at the pew
door is the one when you must fumble
for your money, and then, having me
thodically unfolded the bill, and put on
your eye-glasses to ascertain its denom
ination, you may slowly place it on the
top of thu box. These three rules, we
believe, viU be sufficient for ail ordinary
purposes. — J-lrchanae

THE PARSON’S DONATION.
It was one of those cold, winter nights
when men wrap np warmly ere going
out, and when women and little ones sit
closely about the fire. The sleet rattled
against the window-panes and the wind
howled along the eaves. Outside the
shadows danced upon the glittering
crust, and the boughs of the trees waved
and beat, and tossed in the blast. A little
woman’s heart is sorely troubled, for the
parson has been called'to attend a dying
church memlier. She knows that her
good man is poorly clothed to meet the
chilling wind; she knows tlist his cough
has been worse than ever this winter,
and the pain in his chest more severe.
She thinks of all this, and as she goes
to the window and looks out upon the
dismal landscape, she utters a short
prayer for her husliaud, who urges his
tired, bony horse toward home.
“Papa’s come, papa’s come,” cry the
little ones as they hear the sound of
horse’s bools crunching the snow.
The little womau helps her tired hus
band to put his home under shelter; and
then, when he comes in, helps him off
with his outside garment. He kisses his
wife and the children.
“Will you have something to eat?”
she asks.
“No, dear; I’m too weary. 1 want
rest, rest."
That night, when all is still in the
little parsonage, the parson touches his
wife’s check with liis cold hand, and as
she awakens, lie whispers softly:
“ Good little wife, I—this pain here
in mycliest is suffocating me. No—don’t
stir, I’m—sweet little wife—Father take
care of—linbics—wife—”
Thus, cro the good womau could arise
to succor her husband, lie died.
The subject of a donation had long
been talked over among the farmers.
Some were in favor of doing something
for the good man who preached Sunday
after Sunday, y.-ar after year in the little
church. Others said that times were
hard and a donation could not be
thought of. But the majority ruled,
and in tiiis case the 0115s in favor of
giving the parson u donation were in the
majority.
Early the next morning, following the
meeting, three or fonr of the farmers
drove up to the parsonage door. The
children were crying ; the little woman’s
eves were sad.
come to tell you that we’re
going to give you a donation, and that
“Stop!’’ softly said the little woman.
“Come!”
She led the way to the chamber.
There, iqion the lied with his white face,
thin and wan, laid the parson, dead.

died, as he lived, a man with a heart so
large that he saw the wants of his fellow
creatures ami helped them—ere it was

Fdnrattug Horses.
Horses ran lie educated to the extent
of thoir understanding as well as chil
dren, and can l easily damaged or ru
ined by bail management. It is be
lieved that tlie great difference found in
horses as to habits of reliability comes
more from tho different management of
men than from variance of natural dispo
sition in tlie animals. Horses with met
tle are more easily educated than those
of less or dull spirits, anil are more sus
ceptible to ill-truiuiug, slid consequently
may l>e good or bad, according to the
education thoy receive. Horses with
dull spirits are not by any means proof
against bad management, for in them
may often be found the m<*d provoking
obstinacy, ..Vilnyus habits of different
character mat render them almost en
tirely worthies* Could the coming gen
oration of horses in this country be kept
from their davstof colthood to the age of
5 years iu the hands of good, careful
managers theta would be seen a vast
difference in the general character of tin
noble animals.
If a oolt is never allowed to get an ad
vantage, it will never know tnat it pos
sesses power that man cannot control,
and is muds familiar with strange objects
it will not be skittish aud nervous. If a
horse if mails accustomed from his early
days to have objects hit on his heels,
back and hips, he will pay no attention
to the giving out of harness or of a
wagon running against him at an unex
pected moment A gun can be fired
from the back g>f a horse, an umbrella
held over his hqad, a buffalo robe thrown
over his neck, a railroad engine pass
close by, hia he*la bumped with sticks,
aud the animal taka it nil as a natural
condition of dninga, if only taught by
careful management that he will not be
injured thereby. There ia a great need
of improvement in the management of
this noble animal • less beating and more
of education.
Coll Mont at Sea.
After every steamship collisions
charges and countercharges of careless
ness are exchanged between the officer,
of the vessels, and it is sometimes al
most impossible to determine on which
side the blame should rest. The wit
nesses in such eases see the accident
from diametrically opposite poiuts of
view, and even when they desire to tell
nothing but the truth, it is difficult, or
impossible to get them to agree. Al
ready iu the esse of the Cimbria, much
contradictory evidence as to the collision
with the Sultan has appeared, and that
dreadful disaster has been mode to wear
two quite different aspects, according as
it is looked at through the eyes of tho
few who escaped from tho sunken vessel
or through those of men who were on
board of the Sultan. Some testimony
from third parties lias, however, just
tome to light, and it may prove impor
tant. It appears that the steamer Argo,
some three hours before the fatal collis
ion, encountered a steamship in the fog,
which the crew of the Argo declare was
the Cimbria. They aver that this steam
ship was c-or.iing toward them nt an an
gle aud was not sounding her whistle.
By starboarding their helm they passed
clear. It will be recollected that one of
the survivors from the Cimbria said thnt
after the fog settled around her her en
gines were first kept going at full speed,
then were reduced to half speed,
but were not reduced to slow Bpeeu un
til about ten minutes before the whistle
of the Sultan, suddenly heard through
the fog, was quickly followed by the
crash of tlie o- llision. The object of tho
investigation of the circumstances of such
a disaster, however, should not be alone
to determine who was most to blame,
but to bring to light the causes, whether
owing to defects in construction or to
want of seamanship or caution, or to
lack of sufficient safeguards, which made
the collision possible. —Neto York Atoi.

Adams, the other day, and saw a very fine
picture you sent them. I tried to buy it,
but could not; they said if I would write to
you that you would send me one. I wish
you would, and I will do you all the good I
cm. Very respectfully, E. S. Lyman.
From the Akron Commercial, Ohio,
MM rt; ot Nor.’2sih, inns.;
Readers of the Commercial can not well
lorget that a large space bar for yeara been
taken up by Kendall’s advertisements—es
pecially of a c jrtai n Spavin Cure. We have
had dealings with Dr. Kendall for many
years, and we know of some large business
houses iu cities near by, who have alto d-all
with him for many years, & nd the truth is
fully and fwthf-T../ proven, not only that ha
is a good honeat man. and that this celebra
ted Spavin Cure ia not only all that it ia
recommended to be, but that the English
language is not capable of recommending it
too highly.
Kendall’s Spavin Cure will cure spavins.
There are hundreds o( oaaes in which that
has been proven to our certain knowledge,
but, after all, if any person confines the use
fulness of this celebrated medicine to curing
spavins tlone, they make n big mistake. It
is the best medicine known as an ontsvard
application for rhenmatism in the human
family. It is good for pains and aches, swell
lings and lameness, and is just as safely ap.
plied to men, women and ohildren as it is to
horses. Te know that thsre are other good
liniments, but we do believe this spavin
enre to be far better than any ever invented.
