001. B. B. Smith, of the Lightlirraao
Department, gives the following ntory of
the disaster in Florida?
“The lighthouse tender Pharos sailed
from Charleston May 118 I round for Mos
qnitolnlet, Fla., having on hoard Oen.
O. E. Babcock, Messrs. Sitter, Luokey
and myself, 1 resides tho crew. Off
Tylroe we wore struck by a northeaster,
which blew very hard until we anohored
off Ht. John’s bar. Before leaving
Charlestown we hail written to tho tug
agent at Jacksonville, notifying him
that wo would telegraph him from St.
John’s bar for a tug to tow na into Moo
qnito Inlet. Wo did telegraph for tho
tug, and then aot sail for Mosquito In
let, where we arrived on Saturday even
ing. Wekeptoffthe inlet until Monday
morning, occasionally running near
enough to see if we oould get In. Thnl
morning we anchored about half a mile
off the outer buoy, in order to attempt
the passage in a boat. Capt. Anderson
did not think it would bo safe to attempt
to go inside, but in order to ascertain
how matters stood, Capt. Anderson and
myself got into a boat with sis seamen
and proceeded to the on ter liar buoy.
Capt. Anderson decided that an entrance
was impracticable, and wo returned to
the vessel and so reported to Gen. Bab
cock, who conoluded not to make the
attempt that, day. At 12 o’clock, how
ever, a large whaleboat, manned by six
sailors and a coxswain, came out and
boarded the vessel. Tho General, think
ing that as the boat came out so easily
she oould return with as mneh safety,
elianged his mind and decided to make
the attempt. He, Luokey, Butor nucl
myself got in with tho seven seamen,
making four landsmen and seven sailors
in all who started. Of the four lands
men I alono lived to roach the shore.
The boat made Headway enongli until
wo passed the liar buoy. Then a roller
stmek us, which we weathered all right.
On tho crest of the second roller tho
steering oar snapped in two and tho cox
swain was washed overboard. Tho boat
then filled. The third roller brought
the coxawaln hack to the boat and he
was saved. By this timo the boat had
turned over. We passed a lino length
wise her keel to hold on by, and all of
us grasped it and held on while sea after
sea washed over ns. These seas were
alKint one hundred and fifty feet apart,
which allowed ns a little breathing spell
ijetween them. For a quarter of an
hour this struggle with the waves eon
tinned, mid I do not hesitate to say that
n cooler and braver set of men under
such cironmstanees T never saw. Not a
man asked for help, though wo fre
quently assisted eaoh other when we saw
help was needed and wo oould possibly
do so. There was none of that cowardly
shoving aside, and lighting for tho best,
positions, which is too often witnessed
when life is tho prize contended for. Wo
were washed away from the boat time
and again, bnt another wave would take
us bank. At one time Gen. Babcock
was swept off, and the next wave failed
to bring him all the way back to the
boat; he floated near it, however, and by
elinging to the rope with my left hand,
I managed to roach him with the tips of
the fingers of my right hand. Finally
1 got his hand into mine and pulled him
up on the boat again. Boon after tliia
I noticed that Mr. L. P. Luokey was
exhausted, and a moment afterward ho
gave up and waa swept away. Aa he
floated off lie appeared to mo to lie un
conscious. Very shortly after the
drowning of Luekey the wind and tide,
which had been setting in shore all tho
timo, took ns into the surf, in the snrf
Butor and Gen. Baboock both gave out
and were drowned, and snor. after them
one of the men also. All of ns had been
washed from the boat. Tlfo last. 1 saw
of Gen. Balieook, before his body enmo
ashore, he was floating away face down
ward. loonoluded, as did the rest, if I
remained in tho surf I would be killed
by the boat, so I mado for the shore fol
lowed by the rest. T oould not see the
the shore, but I knew the breakers were
going in and I followed them. Hut the
trouble was when We would touch bot
tom tho undertow would whirl us out to
sea again. I made effort after effort to
gain a foothold, and if i had not suc
ceeded when I did I would have boon
too exbaustod to make another effort.”
Pensions for Veterans.
Tho Rev. Oorydon Millard, of Milwau
kee, who served as Ohaplain of tho
Fourth Heavy Artillery, United States
Army, during tho war, arrived in New
York on Thursday. His slender, erect
figure and unmistakably military bear
ing will lie seen by many old soldiers
during the coming week, as well ns by
civilians, on whom he will call to secure
signatures to a petition urging the pas
sage by Congress of the Lovering Pen
sion bill. Tliia bill is the outcome of
tho petition of tho Soldiers’ and Citi
zens’National League, organized at Mil
waukee last year by Mr. Millard, asking
that all honorably discharged soldiers
nnd sailors of the late war be granted a
pension of at least $8 per month.
“I have just returned from a visit
to Wisconsin, lowa, Minnesota, Ne
braska, Colorado, Indiana and Kansas,”
said Mr. Millard to a 7Ymea reporter,
"and in all of these States I fouud that
the petition for the passage of the bill
receives hearty encouragement from the
people, the Governors, and all the de
partments of State. Some 12.000 citi
zens and soldiers have signed my peti
tion. which is also indorsed by 1,000 or
2,000 jxists of the Grand Army. I called
on Gov. Cleveland recently and he gave
me Ilia support. Ten Governors and
staffs have signed the petition.”
"You think the bill will become a
law ?”
"Certainly,” said Mr. Millard. “Our
cause is just, succeed we must when in
God we trust,” —jtfew York 7limes.

“I’m kinder lookin' around the
market for a hired man,’’ he exclaimed
os lie stopped at one of the stands and
nibbled at an onion. “I kinder need
one, hut yet I kinder hope I shan’t lie
abto to find him."'
“How’s that?”
“Wall, tliero ain’t no profit in a hired
man no more. No, sir, he’s no good any
longer.”
“ What’s the reason?"
“Oh, a dozen reasons. First and
foremost, times have changed, and tho
hired man has changed with ’em. Ah I
sir, it makes me sad when I think of tho
hired men we had before the war—great
big fellers with tho strength of an ox
and tho vim of a locomotive. I didn’t
have to holler my lungs out to git one of
’em out of )m1 at II o’clock in the morn
ing, and it was all loonld do to coax ’em
to go to bed at 10 o’clock at night. I’m
afraiil that wo shan’t never see no more
hired men wiit.h keepiu’ around for their
bread.”
“That’s sad.”
“It’s sad, and more, too. Now, ns I
said, I want a hired man. I’m willing
to pay Isll or sl2 n month for a smart
ono. Borne farmers want a man to work
all day and all night,, hut that ain’t me.
I have never asked one to git out of lied
before 3 o’clock—never. I alius give
my man three-quarters of an hour at
noon, unless the hogs git out, or cattle
break in, or a shower is coming up.
After a man Ims worked right along for
nine hours his system wants at least
half an hour to brace up in. They don’t
quit work on some farms till 8 o’clock,
but I’m no such slave-driver. At half
past 7 I tell my man to knock off. All
he Ims to do after that is to feed tho
stock, cut a little wood, mow somo grass
for the horses, milk four cows, fill up
the water-trough, Htart a smudge in tho
smoke-house, and pull a few weeds in
tho garden. I never hired a man who
didn't grow fat on my work, and they
nllus left me feeling that they hadn't
half earned their wages.”
Ho stopped long enough to wipe a tear
from his oyos, and then went on:
“ And now look at tlie hired man of
to-day I Ho woars white nhirtu nnd col
lars. He won’t eat with a knife. He
waetn naj.kinH when he eats, nnd if wo
don’t hniiß up a oloan towel oneo a week
he wipes on his hnndkorchnr. Call him
at !1 and ho gets up at 6. He wants a
whole honr at noon, and after supper ho
trots off to a singing-school or sits down
to a newspaper. Fifteen years ago if
my hired man was sick for half a day I
oonld dock him. If he died loonld take
out a month’s wages for tho trouble. Ho
whs glad to git store-orders for his i>y,
and he would wash in the rnin-barrel
and tvipo on the olothes-line. There’s
been a change, sir, an awful ehango, and
if a reaction don’t sot in pretty soon yon
will witness the downfall of agriculture
in this country.”
“Then yon won’t hire another?”
“ Wall, I can’t just say. Work is
powerfully pressing, but I’m going slow,
Before l hire him l want to know
whether he’s a man who’ll pass his plate
for more meat and taters, anil whether
wo’vo got to use starch in doing up his
shirts. Tho last man I hod took me to
task for not holding family prayers
twice a day, and after I hod done so I
found it was only a game of his to boat
me out of half an hour a day. He
thought ho had a pretty soft thing, and
he looked mighty lonesome when I cut
"Old Hundred" down to two lines and got
through with tlie Lord’s Prayer in forty
seconds." —Detroit fYee Press,
BOM ESTIC RECIPES,
For the filling for an orange short
cake, take two large oranges, peel them,
chop them fine, remove the seeds, adtl
half of a peeled lemon, and one oup of
sngar. Spread between tho layers of
short-cake while it is hot. This may lie
used for layer-cake filling also, but in
that ease add tho well-beaten white of
one egg.
Cream cake, so dear to the heart of
the ohildren, can be made by splitting
patty-pan cakes, taking ont a portion of
the center and filling the space with
thick custard. There need be no waste
as the piooea ont ont may be used iu the
foundation for a nice pudding.
String beans when young and tender
make a good salad. Out them in amall
pieces, boil in salted water until they
ore tender, drain them well, nnd mix
with them some onions chopped fine,
and pour over them a mayonnaise dress
ing. The onions may be left out if you
prefer to do no.
A ooHRKsroNMCNT says she has canned
pie-plant, with good results, by baking
it instead of boiling it; she ont the
stalks in pieces about an inch long, put
in earthen pudding dishes, or on pie
plates, scattered sngar over it abun
dantly and baked ; then she put her
cans into a pan of hot water ou the top
of the stove, aud when tho pie-plant
was tender put it nnd the syrup formed
by the juice and the sngar in also, and
when the con was full sealed it np. She
says that the juice thus formed is much
richer, and that it takes less sugar to
sweeten it than is required in the boil
ing process.
Coin as Carriers or Disease.
Dr. Reinach, a distinguished Oonnau
chemist, has found the bacteria of dif
fent diseases stiokiug to silver coin long
after being exposed to the disease. An
extended series of observations showed
that this is the case with the small coins
of all nations, the thin inorustatiou of
organic matter deposited npou their sur
faces in the course of long circulation
rendering t hem very suitable for this prac
tical settlement. Dr. Beinsch scraped
•IT some of these incrustations, and,
with a scalpel, divided them into frag
ments, which were subsequently dis
solved in distilled water. The employ
ment of louses of a very high power
showed the bacteria and fungi dis
tinctly.
IS THE MOON INHABITED!
Til K IMPORTANT WHCOVRKY MARK
IIV PUOPttNNOII lII.KNIIMANN.
How If wbii .Undo nnd What It Itpvrnlrd-
More OUsrrvnf lone to to© Mudr.
At tho astronomical observatory ot
Berlin, says a translation from Nya
JPrenten J/r.lgini/for, a discovery has been
made which, without doubt, will canso
the greatest sensation, not only among
the adepts in science, bnt even among
the most learned. Professor Blend
mam], in that city, has found, beyond a
doubt, that our old friend, the moon, is
not merely a lantern which kindly fur
nishes light for tho loving youth and
gas companies of our planet, but the
abode of living beings, for which he is
prepared to furnish proofs most con
vincing. This question has agitated
hmnanity from timo immemorial, nnd
has been the object of the gravest inter
est. But the opinions have always dif
fered very widely, anil no two minds
held ono and the same. Already in
ancient times tho belief prevailed that
the moon was inhabited with some
higher organized, intelligent beings,
somewhat resembling man, and in order
to communicate with them the earthly
enthusiasts planted rows of trees several
miles iu length so as to form tho figure
of the Pythagorean theorem.
The celebrated astronomer, Schroder,
in the beginning of the present century,
fancied that ho could detect plnees on
tho snrfaco of tho moon which periodi
cally grew lighter nnil darkor, and from
this fact ho derived tho conclusion that
the phenomenon was a proof of existing
vegetation. During the last, few de
cades, however, tho idea of life on the
moon has tieen held np to rjdienlo and
totally scorned by mon of learning. Bnt,
nevertheless, it has been proved to be
correct By accident Dr. Blendmann
found that tho observations of the moon
gavo but unsatisfactory results, owing to
the intensity of tho light power of the
moon’s atmosphere, which is so strong
Uiat it affocts tho correctness of the ob
servations in a very high degreo. He
then conceived the idea to make the ob
ject glass of tho refractor less sensitive
to the rays of light, and for that pur
poso he darkened it with the smoko of
camphor. It took months of experi
menting before he succeeded' in finding
iiis right degree of obscurity of tho
glass, and when finally found he then,
with tho refractor, took a very accurate
photo of the moon’s surface. This he
placed in a sun microscope, which gave
the pictures diameter of fifty-five and a
half foot. The revelation was most start
ling. It perfectly overturned all hither
to entertained ideas of the moon’s sur
face. Those level plains which formerly
were held to be oceans of water, proved
to be verdant fielda, and what formerly
woro considered mountains tnmed out
as deserts of sand and oceans of water.
Towns and habitations of all kinds wore
plainly discernible, as well a* signs of
industry and traflio. The learned pro
fessor’s study and otiservations of old
Luna will be repeated every fall moon
when the sky is dear, and wo venture
to predict that tho timo is not far off
when wo shall know more about the
man in the moon than as being an agent
in F.nglish polities.
An limply Tin Can.
I’IOKKO UP BY TWO TRAMPS IN TUB 010
KKtHONS WITH STARTLING RKHUI.TB.
Two tramps begged some coffee at a
store in Warren, I’u. They had an old
tin can, iu which they said they intended
to boil it. They took the coffee and
went to an out-of-the-way spot near the
gas works. One of them began to build
a fire, and the other placed the can on
the ground. Beating himself on the can,
lie watched his companion busying him
self with tho fire. When the latter was
ready the trump who had built it picked
up a stone and jokingly exclaimed to the
other ono:
"Get up there and produce tho sup
per 1”
At the same time he tossed the stono
! toward his oompanion. It stmok the
can with considerable force, and in
stantly there was a terrible explosion.
The tramp who was sitting on the can was
thrown several feet in tho air, and the
other one was knocked down by tho con
cussion, The latter jumped up aud ran
away. The other one was picked up
and carried to the oonnty poorhonse.
His hips and thighs nnd the lower part
of hla back were literally torn away. Ho
at first gave his name as Robert F.llis,
but on being told that he would die lie
uiid that Ellis was not his name. He
then gave to the authorities another
name, which is that of a member of one
of the most prominent families in Penn
sylvania. The authorities will not re
veal it, at the request of tho dying tramp.
The can which the tramps had picked
np waa an empty nitre glycerine can.
Enough of the compound remained in it
to cause the explosion as stated, only a
lew drops being required to prove ex
tremely destructive. Similar explosions
through the careless disposal of empty
cans are not uncommon in the oil re
gions.
The Kamtehatkiuis.
According to a report sent by Lient.
Frederick to the Moscow Gazette, there
will soon be no Kamtchatkans left in
Komtchatka. Tlie population iu a dis
trict larger than tho whole of France,
which was once above 60,000, hail iu
1880 fallen off to G,200. The only occu
pations of tho inhabitants are shooting
and fishing; their food consists almost
exclusively of fish, for the annual in
come of any odc rarely exceeds $4, for
which not even forty pounds of flour can
lie bought. On the western coast things
are even worse; the mortality in these
parts is even greater than in the east.
On the Commodore Islands, however,
which are separated by a distance of less
than 200 miles from Kamtohatka, the
jxipulation is flourishing again under
the benevolent supervision of an Ameri
can firm.
SOMETHING ABOUT FISHES.
Wttal Vnu Hlny Tell Ihr Boro Whrn Yon
Tatar Them Out Haturday Alti-rnoona.
BY M. QUAD,
Let’s take this Saturday to go fishing.
A father who can’t throw in half a day
with his boy now and -then is a poor
stick of a man. If we fish from a wliarl
or log or boat we may sing and talk
as loud as wo will, bnt wo must keep
feet and hands as quiet as possible.
Why? Because the fish will feel us.
Fish do not hear, bnt they feel in place
of it. At a great fish exhibition in Now
York State a few years ago Beth Green
proved this fact to the people in a very
plain manner. Ho placed a brass band
among the aquaria, and nt a given
signal every horn blow its loudest blast.
Not a fish in any of the tanks moved,
Mr. Green then took ont his knife and
struck a blow on an Iron rod running
along in front of tho tanks, and lo I
every fish made a sudden jump as tho
jar reached him. If you are on a wharf
keep the feet still. If yon arc in a boat
be twice as cautions. Every sound will
be taken np by the water and carried
along for many feet.
Lot’s post ourselves n bit os wo fish.
Now, theD, if you fish for rock-baas drop
your hook near an old wreck—close to
tho piles ot a wharf—down beside a
rock. These bass are what might be
called domestic fish. They make their
homes in one sjwit instead ot traveling
about. They will bite either minnow or
worm. Black bass feed in weedy spots
and along the channel hanks. Mullet
and snekers will take the bait only when
tho lie ok rests on the bottom. A pickerel
will bite at yonr hook much quicker if it
is moving.
Every species of fish lias its regnlai
hours for feeding, the samo ns yon have
for taking your meals, but bans nnd
jiickerel digest their foot! tho soonest,
and are therefore most always hungry.
A pike or pickerel weighing ten pounds
will pull a dead weight of twenty pounds
off a level bank when hooked. These
same fish havo been known to jump
at least four feet clear of the surface,
and to throw themselves from one pond
into another.
“Can a fish sec at night?”
“Just as well as a cat.”
“Does ho ever sleep?”
"He does. If you will watch a gold
fish for a day or two you will find him
taking occasional nni>s.”
"How fast can a Skli swim?"
"If man could invent some way to ge\
up a race between fishes the result
would astonish yon. A pickerel is prob
ably one of tho swiftest, of our fresh
water fish. lie moves for a short dis
tance so fast that you simply see a
flush. Almost every species of fish can
see on nil sides and behind him bh weir
as in front. Their gills are tho most
delicate filter in the world. Every tooth
iu the mouth of a fish which preys upon
other fish is sot in such a way that every
attempt to escape fastens the victim
more firmly. A red-horse or mullet
weighing five pounds oonld not take a
small apple into its mouth. A pike
weighing three pounds conld almost
swallow a man's fist. When a bass
is first hooked he will ran toward
you. A pike or pickerel will run from
you. A sheephead and dogfish will
jump for tho surface. A mullet will dive
for the bottom.
“Indeed, my boy, if I were your
teacher I’d sooner post you on our
domestic fish, their anatomy, habits,
etc., than to have yon sit for two hours
ami rattle off to me in a sing-song way:
“Goose Creek rises in the north
eastern part of Japan—nnd the Virgin
Islands are in the Caribbean Sea—and
the soil of tho Cannibal Islands will
grow cross-eyed men and hump-backed
women without fertilizers,” etc.
An Unnatural Mother.
A drunken woman, dragging a sob
bing girl, aged seven years, through the
street, attracted a crowd. The little
one’s eyes brightened as she saw a tall,
well-drpssed man, ami lifting her hand*
appealingly, she exclaimed:
“Oh, papa, oomo and help me. Mam
ma wants to kill me !’’
“My God ! Mary," said the man, in
an astonished tone of voice, “can it be
yon ?’’
“Yes," the woman responded, scowl
iugly. “Yon can’t get rid of mo. I’m
like a bad penny, always sure to turn up.
Shut up, yon brat,’’ she said, as the
child began to erv, “or I’ll throttle tho
life out of yon. ”
The man sprang forward, there was a
tussle, the man's face was scratched,
and an officer approaching, took the
party to Essex Market.
“She is my wife,” said the man. “I
was once a prosperous merchant, but my
wife drank heavily. I neglected my
business, and min was the result. Six
months ago I had her committed to the
Inebriate Asylum aud placed my two
children in an orphan’s home. She was
released from the asylum this morning,
immediately got drunk again, and went
to the home aud stole the child."
The unnatural mother was committed
for six months. —A'. Y. World,

HIR SECRET TROUBLES.

Near the doss of on* of tha mot trying at

and close, Uncle John,” said the lady of
the manor to the negro who was building
anew garden fence; “my Christianity
can’t stand the test of my neighbor’s
pigs and chickens.” “I b’lieve yon,
mistiss,” was the old man's emphatic re
