Men aud women rushed "y over the side to meet a quick- I less patuiin death. The boats, with one exception, had been over laden and capsiz at. There were hasty prayers, and heart-rending cries of misery aud distress. Death hovered, vulture-like, over his vic tim; some clung desperately to the vcimtd'u si V, supportiug them selves iu tfie water by articles sualched hastily from the burning ship, and with which they had leaped wildly into the sea. The cap lam sung through Ins trumpet “Take heart aud et|ekum J|ii*rßelv*i as long as possible. A ship is comiug to our relief.’’ James Dfirant stood upon the al most deserted deck with his ouly child, but four years of age, folded closely in his anna, flia #y*is awept the horizon iu search of the ship to which the captain had alluded. He discovered it at last, but it was at least four utiles oil’. Before the ship could arrive, they must be burned to death; or if he sprang, as others had, down into the water, both he and the child would ba drowned, for he was not a swimmer. The little arms were twined about ItisAeck, the jatltf utiiek *t’csting con fidingly against his own, but the brave child did not tremble. 'O, my God, # there no help?’ cried the despairing father as the (lames swept nearer, and he felt that his present position coufd bo held but little longer. “Here, give the child to me and I will save her,” and turning quickly, Mr. Durant stood face to face with a stranger who hnd a nfo jpfSaever in his hand.

But you as well as myself must be lost." “No, I am a good swimmer, and htre is a piece cf boaid with which you can sustain yourself until relief arrive ." The father cast another glance at the white speck floating rapidly away, and with an inward “God pr< serve her;" sprang into the sea, followed by the stranger; but the two floated in different directions, and they saw each other no more. Two hours later, James Durant, awoke, sb if from the (Jeep of death,, and found himself in the cabin of a strange ship, with kind and sympa thing faces all around him. In a moment he realized all that bad passed, and said eagerly, though feebly: “My child, little Eva; is she safe?” There was no response, and a low moan escaped the father's lips. “Courage sir," said a lady with tearful eyes, “some of the passengers were saved by another ship.’’ The father’s countenance lighted. “God grant that she may be safe." Mr. Durant recovered his usual strength in a few honrs, and sought among the saved for the stranger who had proved himself to be a Ma s: nic Brother, but be was nowhere to be found. “tfe mast be on the other ship," said Mr. Durant, “and he will care for Eva.” Both ships wen at port the follow ing day but although Dr. Durant found the stranger who ha l befriend ed him, and who proved to be a Mr. Wadsworth, from a southern city, Eva was seen by no one and was giv en up as lost. ****** GAINESVILLE, GA., FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE 21, 1878. “Here wife, is a child that has just been washed upon the beach. She is cold and stiff, hut I thiuk she is not dead. Let ns have some warm tlanuelß immediately, and tell Thom as to rnu for Dr. Hunt. It was long before the qu vering lashes and feeble fluttering of the heart gave token that success would crown the efforts of Eva’s rescuers; but by and-by the lids parted, and revealed two large, liquid, sky blue eyes, that wandered from face to face in a bewildered way, and then closed wearily. “I fear she will not recover very rapidly,” said the doctor. ‘ She has a delicate constitution and wdi re quire the best of care ” “Poor child,” said Mrs Turner, “I do not wonder she is nearly dead; but who can aha be? Some terrible accident must have occurred at so ." “You had better examine her clothing,’' said the doctor; “per k haps yon may tiud some clue to her relations." Mrs. Turner lifted the gossamer white dress, and turned it over and over. The square aud compass placed there bv Mr. Durant 11 tailed upon the eyes of all at once. The doctor aud Mr. Turuerlooked at each other, but neither apoke, aud Mrs Turner did not notice the tear that glistened in her husband's eyes. The doctor's fears that Eva would mAMtecover rapidly proved to be well foWded; days aud weeks of fever succeeded iu nwakeuiug her to life, duriug which she talked incoherent ly of “paoa** aud “poor mamma,’ and of the “burning ship,” aud of “hunger.” She finally awoke to con sciousuess, aud asked mauy questions as to where she was and how nlis came into the dark room, aud who were those who attended, her but Dr. Hunt forbade her being questioned until she was strouger. How interested were all in the lit- tle convalescent, whom the elements had cast iut i seubord town ! The ladies declared that never before did a child possesses snob lovely eyes or such beautiful curls, while the gen tlemen seemed no less interested, and brought her gifts of every thing that might plooso her childish fancy.” “My dear little girl,” said Dr. Hunt, when Eva was ut length able to ride out, “will you tell me your name k’ ■ “Eva,’"said the child. “I thought you kuew it.” “Yes, I know your name is Eva; but I want to kuow the rest of your name—your father.” “Eva Durant. Mr. Durant is my papa.’' “Yes; I want you tell mo all you can remember about your lather aud mother.’’ Eva'* eyes Titled wtth tears. “Ob, sir, my mamma died and went to live with the angels. He said if 1 nevor saw him again I must kuow ho has gone to mamma. “Where were you when ho told you this ?” “Ou the ship; anil oh, (lie fire burned me so; and papa held mo in hikarnu until a strange man took mu and tied something under my arms uud throw mo into the water, and I have not seen papa since. Oh, sir, can you tell me where ho is ?” “No, dear child; but perhaps wo may yet find him.” And this was all that Eva s new friend could discover. It was plain she had come from the ship which had been burned a few weeks before; that she bad been cast upon the sea, and floated to the shore; but where was her father? Had he been saved, and was be searching for hiu child ? Kvory possible effort was now made to find him. The circumstances of the case, with the statement of the child, were published fully iu the newspapers of the neighboring cities but the grief-stricken father, believ ing his child to be lost, had sailed u week before for Europe, and it soon became settled iu the minds of Eva's protectors that he had jierished.— Hut the little one still prattled about her “papa,” and be was coming by and by, uud those believed different ly would not pain her by contradic tion. Toe square aud compass that had been found npou lier clothing were regarded as a powerful appeal from a Mason to bis brethren to care for bis child. So it came to pass that Eva became, as it were, the special charge of Hiram Lodge, No. 93. Mr. Turner would gladly have takeu the entire care of ttie little waif, and the wealthy Senator W requested to be allowed to adopt her as his daugh ter, but tho brethren iu the lodge, as sembled, declared by a vote that Eva should be reared, eilucated and pro tected by the lodge, and that as Providence had placed her in Broth er Turner’s boase, that should be her home. And so years went by, and Eva became a healthy, joyous child, flit ting here and there, aud everywhere meeting the warmest of welcomes. The Masouic Hall was but a few rods from Mr. Turner’s residence, and Eva often went with him as far as the door, and theu returned alone, always bidding the Tyler “took good care of Pa Turner, and send him hoc;8 early.” ****** The six years that followed the death of his wife and the loss of his child, passed wearily to James Du rant. He visited nearly every coun try in the Old World, seeking among scenes of natural beauty and gran deur as well as of historic interest, for the mental rest which could never be found. Once more he turned bis steps towards America, and sought his Masouic friend Wads worth. Finding that gentleman about setting out with his family ou a journey to the Atlantic coast, Mr. Durant accepted the invitation to accompany them to Saratoga and Ni agara, then to New York, where, leav ing the ladies, Mr. Wadsworth and Mr. Darant wandered from town to town along the coast, enjoying the beauty of the scenery aud the quiet hospitality that greeted them more ; than the crowded hotels and the fashionable sty le of the popular watering j la;'es. Fancy, and t o kind baud of Providence, at length led them to the little twu of JB and th i scored evening after their arrival they visited the Masonic lodge. A waim welcome was ex tended to tho brethren from such distint homes, and both were invi ted to address the lodge. Mr. Du rant said:— “Bretheu: I lave trare’ed much and long, j have louud Masot u sympathy in every part of the globe, aud everywhere is Masonry substan tially the same. I eau hardly tell where I reside. The world seems to be my home, as I remain but a short time iu any town or country, but my name is recorded in an English lodge. I love my English brethren, for they first brought me “from darkuess to light,” and I love En glish soil, for with it sleeps the wife of my youth. But I love American soil, also, for hero have I louud the warmest of welcomes, the kindest of brethren. Aud, too, my own child is sleeping iu Amsrioau waters, even beneath the very waves that wash the shores of your beautiful vil lage. “Six years have passed since this dear frieud and brother robbed him self of his life preserver, that my little Eva might perhaps escape, aud aud wo hoped the elements might be kind, and that heaven would send her relief, but she was never beard of more.” Tho voice of Mr. Durant was quiv eriug with emotion, and unable to speak further, he seated himself aud covered his face with his hands. Glances of surprise and pleasure wore cast from one to another among the brethreu of Hiram lodge. No one spoke, however, but all eyes turned upon tho master, Mr. Turner. For a womout, ho seemed rellactiug then taking a slip of paper from the secretary ho wrote: ‘ Mrs Turner Do not allow Eva to retire uutil I return home; tell her I am going to bring a strange gentleman who wishes to seo her.” Aud calling tho junior deacon, Mr; Turner gave him the note, say ing iu a low voice: “Take this note to Mrs. Turnor immediately.” “Why, Eva,” said Mrs. Turner, when she road the message, “you are going to have comp my. A strange gentleman is at the lodge room who wishes to see you.” “Who can it bo?” Eva looked perplexed undthonght fill, suddenly her cheeks Hushed, her eyes lighted, aud. clapping her little hands, she sprang to her feet aud exclaimed, “Oh, it must be papa ! no ono else would wish to see me; uo one iu tho world ;” aud before Mrs. Turner cornpft'hitudud VMfi uliild’s iu terpretation, she lift l passed the threshold and was flitting through tho moonlight toward the lodge room. The Tyler looked amazed when Eva burst into the ante-room, her cheeks burning, hory eyes Hash ing with joy aud excitement. “Do not stop me, lam going iu !’’ she exclaimed. But the inner door was fastened, and the patient Eva nearly cried with vexation. “Wait a moment, said the Tjler, who, having heard nothing of what had transpired within, was at a loss to account for the strange con duct of the child; “wait a moment, uud I will send your request to Mr. Turnor. He will come out aud see you.” “I shall not wait! Ido not want to see Mr. Turner, I want to see my P&-” “The child is crazy, that is evi dent,” said tho perplexed Tyler to himself; but calling oat the deacon, be hade him say that Eva was there aud had determined to get iuto tho lodge-room. The deacon went to the oasl, and delivered his message iu a low tone, ami a moment afterward moved •‘that the craft ba called from labor to refreshment.” “Now," said Mr. Turner, “tell the Tylor to let her come in.’’ And Eva did come, or rather bounded, into the ball, more heauti ful iu her excitement than ever be foro. She advanced to the centre of the room and stood before the altar; half poised upon the tiny foot she scanned rapidly the faces of all. Her eager eyes soon detected the stran gers, who, were seated behiud each other, and for a moment she seemed irresolute, then darting forward with a glad cry, she threw her arms abont the neck of Mr. Durant, crying, “Oh papa! my dear papa ! you have come home at last t You were not burned in the ship!’’ Wfc will not attempt to paint the scene further, but will leave our readers to imagine the joy of the fond father, and also leave them to decide whether the tears that wet the cheeks of the brethren of Hiram Lodge were caused by sympathy with tho happiness of their little charge, or grief that they should lose one whom they ail loved. Washington as a Husband. The father of his country was an astute husband, and singularly just. “Martha,'' he said, three days after his marriage, “we might as well un derstand each other. lam prepared to admit that the late Mr. Curtis was the best, man that ever lived. He was a good provider, and most excel lent in every conceivable way. But bo is dead. lam frank to say that I cannot weep over it. It is simply so. Bet us not resurrect him. Let the dead fellow rest in peace. He was too good for this world. We will not call him back. Let me hear no more regarding tho late Mr. Cur tis, my dear.’ 1 Aud those simple words, firmly spoken, secured Mr. Washington much peace, aud almost as much happiness as though he had married the lady known as the High land beanty. —Buffalo Expre**.

Ktizdifth of England's Last Mays. If the Ministers and courtiers were couutiug ou her daatb, Elizibeth had no mind to die. She had < njoyed it, and now that they were goue she clung to it with a fierce teuacity. She hunted, she danced, she jested with young favorites, she coquetted aud Bcolded and frolicked at sixty seven as she had done at thirty. “The Queen,” wrote a courtier a few months before her death, “me never so gallant three many years nor so set npon jollity. She persisted, iu spite of opposition, in her gorgeous progress from country house to coun try bouse. She clung to business ns of old, and rated in her usual fashion “one who minded not giving up some matter of aceouut. But death orepl on. Her face bo c*>ae haggard, aud her frame •hruak almost to a skeleton. At last her taste for fiuery disappeared, and she refused to change her dress a week together. A strange mel ancholy settled down ou her. “She held iu her hands,” says one wl)o saw her in her last days, “a gol den cup, which she often put to her lips; but iu truth her heart seome t too full to need more iilliug.'' Gradually her mind gave way. She lost her memory, the violence of her temper became unbearable, her very courage seemed to forsake her. She called for a sword to lie constan tly beside her and thrust it from time to time through the arras, as if she heard murderers stirring there. Food aud reet became alike distaste ful. She sat day aud night propped up with pillows on a stool, her Hu ger ou her lips, her eyes fixed on the fi jor, without a word, Jf she ouce broke tho silence it was with a 11 ish of her old queeuliuess. When Sir K ibert Cecil declared that she must go to bed tho word roused her like u trumpet. “Must!” she oxelamed; ‘ is must a word to he addressed to l’riuces? Little mau, little man, thy fattier, if he had been alive, durst not have used that word.” Then as her anger spent itself, she sank iuto tho old dejection. “Thou art so presumptuous,’’ she said, "because thou knowest that I shall die.” She rallied oneo more when the Ministers beside her named Lord Beauchamp, the heir to the Suffolk claim, as a posssible sueccessor. “I will have no rogue’s sou,’’ she cried, hoarsely, "iu my sout.” But she gave no sign save a mo tion of the heud at the mention of the Kiug of Scots. She was, iu fact, fast becoming insensible, aud early the next morning, on the 21th of March, 1(103, tho life of Elizabeth —a life so gre .t, so strange aud lonely i”. its greatness —ebbed quiet ly away.

The Electric I.lght. It is thought in some quarters that beforo loug tho alectric light will be gen rally adopted in all large cities. It is remarkably brilliant, safe under reasonable restrictions, if managed with care, and remarkably cheap. It has been chiefly used hith erto on account of its immense illu minating power and value in public places, especially in Paris, where streets.

Iu extensive dye works in an English city it has been tried with decidod success, and prop ositions are making to employ it ia similar works where the discrimina tion of niceties of color is a matter of paramount importance. It is stated by tho Philadelphia Press that on the occasiou here referred to a German machine was employed to geuerate the electric current, and this, driven by a two-horse power steam engine, gave a light calculated to be about equal to six hnudred sperm caudles, at n total cost of about eight ceuts an hour.

One of the curious articles exhib ited at Tiff toy's is a scarf of gray Cantou crape, which portrays the in fernal regions, according to the Ja panese idea. Tho scarf is nine yards long and half a yard wide. The first scene represents S itan on earth seeking now victims. The areh-iieud appears as u sulphuric, yellowish greeu domoß, with protruding horus, eleven feet, and a demoniacal ex pression, luring its viutmu* into his uet aud pluugiug them into fiery depths. They appear to fall into a nest of burning scorpions, where they are tantalized by a glimpse of their friends enjoy tig themselves in a lake of cool water. In the next, scene Satan takes the form of ail im mense dragon, with Ins human vic tims crouching in terror at his feet. They arc mercilessly dragged iuto court, aud the Judge is represented as condemning them to bo tied to rocks aud to have red-hot lead poured down their throats. They are then chased by hyenas through a field of open knives and other sharp instruments. The victims are next portrayed as being tortured by hav ing their limbs sawu off and by being thrown into a revolving wheel of tiro. Satan next appears to ba looking out for new victims on a field of battle. Some of these victims are made to hug rod-hot stovo-pipos, while Satan, himself, with a smile, is fanning them. Others are swimming in seas of blood, snrroundod by laughing demons. Others, still, are so ited in a cauldron of red-hot sulphur, haviug their tongues pulled out Soma are rep resented us carrying heavy burdeus of coal, aud throwing it into the fire to burn new victims. Ilis Satanic Majesty is next represented as feed ing his subjects with rice, presuma bly to give them strength with which to enduru greater tortures. Physiologic il Treatment of Stuttering. Very great success is reported as attending the treatment of stuttering by purely physiological training, ac cording to tho system of M. Chervin, of Paris. Three types of stuttering are distinguished.- “First, that occur ing during inspiration; second, stut tering during expiration; third, stut tering during both these periods, and between breaths. The treatment is divided into three stages. The first involves various respiratory exer cises, during which the pupil is first taught to make a long, full, inspira tion, and follow it by regular, forci ble expiration. Then the respiratory movements are made with various rhythms until they become full, reg ular aud easy, instead of being jerky, labored and fatiguing. In the sec ond stage of treatment, exercises with vowel sounds are substituted for tho previous rntito breathings, giving to each vowel the various mod ifications of tone, pitch, duration, etc, beard in conversation. The third stage comprises exercises on consonants, alone and in combina tion with vowels; at, first slowly, theu rapidly, varying the duration and pitch of each syllable, aud pass ing from words of one syllable to those of two and more. Prepared by thesß exorcises the pupil learns to articulate slowly atul methodically short sentences, then longer periods and paragraphs, seporatiug sentences aud always beginning with a deep inspiration. Twenty days of this treatment usaally suffices for a per fect cure. The adoption by the Senate, Mon day, and by the House last Satur day, of the report of the committee of conference on the Washington monument bill secures the prompt completion of thit structure in ac cordance with the modified design prepared by Mr. Larkin K. Mead and adopted by the Monument So ciety last year. ’ltirkisli manners. The Turks are u ually considered barbarous, and surely they are so iu many rospects— in their brutal cruelty to their fellow creatures; in their ut ter absence of chivalry during the war, when their couduct is not a whit above the red akius of America; iu their treutment of women; in their barter of slaves, in the dirty and tumble-down appearance of their town aud cities, uud above all iu their corrupt aud inefficient method of administration. But, on the other hand they have certain civilized habits, iu which they are decidedly above all Europeans. Tho houses of the ordinary citizens are decidedly cleauer, and iu some respects enjoy a belter organization. No Turk will enter a sitting room with dirty shoes. The upper-classes wear tight-fittiug Hue shows termed mests, aud over these galoshes On enteriug a house the latter are laid down at the door, aud so the visitor treads ou the car pet without briugiug iuto the dwell ing house a mass of impurity. The Turk uever washes iu dirty water, like au European; water is poured over his bauds so that whau polluted it is cast away, and uot poured again ou his hands and face. Certain con veniences iu a Turkish house are always decent and cleanly, forming in this respect a marvelous contrast to those of most European countries; moreover near evory mosque are to be found these aids to health aud de cency, giving iu this respect a lesson to England especially. Never Forget Anything. Charge your mind with your duty. That is largely the true definition of faithfuluoss. Bad memory and mis takes are used as apologies a great deal ofteuer that necessary. A boy begiuniiig business life will general ly lose his place who pleads such an excuse more than once or twice. A successful business man says there were two things which he fearned when he was eighteen,which were afterwards of great use to him, namely, never to lost anything, aud uever to forget anything.” An old lawyer son. him with an imp irtant paper, with certain instructions wbai to do with it. “But,” inquired the young man, “suppose I lose it; what shall Ido theta?” Tfhe answer was, with tho utmost emphasis, “You must not lose it ” “‘ I don't mean to," said'the young titan, "but suppose Ishmi l happen to ?'' “But I say you must not happen to! I shall make no provision lor any such Qccurrenci. Ym tun-tool lose it !’’ This put anew train of thought into the young mauls *<• fpaaA, that if lift was detertpined to do a thing he could do it. He made such provision against every contingency that he never lost anything. He found this equally true about forget ting. If a certain matter of impor tance was to be remembered ho pin ned it down on his mind, fastened it there aud made it stay. A Useful Invention. Max Adeler, says: “We have just perfected un invention which will probably reliove us in the future from the persecution of life insurance agents aud book canvassers. It. is in the nature of a patent c unbiuation reflax action door-scraper. We fasten it down by tho side of t'i (owes: step iu front of our house, au l wait until a book canvassor c > ues along which one is tolerably certain to do in fifteen or twenty minutes The canvasser stops to scrape his boots while he thinks up some ue-.v aud vigorous exugeratiou with which to impose ou us. As his foot touches the iron, two clamps fly over his in step and holds him fast, a steel claw suddenly shoots up his leg and grabs bis trousers, a trap flies open in the pavement, and the victim is hauled into a coal cellar, where we have an infuriated Irishman engaged to mel low him and flatten him out with a scoop-shovel. We allow the Irish man a royalty on the remains, and he seems to be animated by an ear nest enthusiasm which promises rich results. If the machine works well, we shall either buy a graveyard or found a medical college. In the meantime, persons in want of bodies for dissection or other purposes will please apply. The Earthquakes of fifteen Centuries. Minister Bingham has sent from Japan a very interesting paper by a native savant on the earthquakes that have occurred iu that country during the past fifteen hundred years. The number of destructive earth quakes recorded is 140. The ninth century was most prolific in these, reaching twenty-eight; in the fifteenth century there were fifteen; the same in tho seventeenth; thirteen iu the eighteenth; aud sixteen iu the pres ent century. The recorded average is one great earthquake every ten years, bnt the nineteenth century gives one every five years. Unusually high temperaturo aud strauge atmos pheric changes have been noticed as precursors of great convulsions, espe cially in tlio earthquake which deso lated the city of Yeddo in 1855. Boys anil Tobacco. Physicians are well agreed that the use of tobacco bv growing boys is full of danger, lleceut investiga tions, especially in France, have demonstrated that a whole train of nervous diseases are to be traced to this practice. If you want to stop growing, if you want to have a set of nerves that are like those of an invalid old lady, if you wish to grow feeble and tbin, if you wish to look sallow and puny—l do not know any better way than to smoke tobacco. It will make a drain on your nervous sytem which will be sure to tell after awhile. Lst ns hope that if a thous and boys read this some of them will be saved from forming a filthy habit which most mou regret.

John Randolph, of Itoauoko, is tho subject of an euterprising biography just published iu Richmond. In it is to be found this picture of the brilliant S outberuer at the age of forty-three: “His hair was bright brown, straight, not perceptibly gray, thrown back from his forehead, and tied into a queue, neither long nor thick. His complexion was swarthy; his face beardless, full, round and plump; his eyi hazel, brilliant, iu quisitive, proud; his mouth was of delicate cast, well suited to a small head and face, filled with exquisite teeth, well kept as they could be; his lips painted, as it were, with indigo, indicating days of suffering and nights of torturing pain. His bauds were us white aud delicato as any girl’s. Every Dart of bis dress and person was evidently accustomed to ths utmost care. His face was the most beautiful and attractive to me I had almost ever seen, llis manner was deliberate, beyond any speaker, I have ever heard. * * He stood firm in his position; his action and and grace seemed to be from the knee up. IBs voice was that of a well-toned flageolet; the key conver sational, though swelling to its ut most opaapaas. ,
