Last Friday morning' about four
o’clock Keeper J. M. Hopkins of
the Cape Malabar House of Ref¬
uge, located hear Jiicit’ournb; dis¬
covered a small sloojj riding at an
chor about a milo off shore, lie
signaled th5 bokt, dud presently
three pers6hs-^two|fnoh iihd a boy,
emerged faofh the cabin and, enter¬
ing a dinghy;fifed!led slowly-toward
tho shore. A heavy surf was on,
and it seomed impossible for the
little boat toJive in faewild break¬
ers, Half the time the boat and
its crew were wholly hidden from
sight, but U arqs.o,,safely to,the
crest of the following wave every
timo until Yhtiiin. almost a rod
the berifafl, when a huge breaker
lifted it up i|nd thrqw it forward
liko a"rocket. So terrific was its
speed that, t,bo perscffs.wowy unable
to hold on to tho scats. All three
were thrown into the roaring break¬
ers. Tho oldest man * managed to
grasp tho stern of tho boat as it
shot past hint ftt the bfettkey,'. and
rfrhcn tlio boat was {brown high
tho sands the old man rolled like a
ball half way up the beach.
Anticipating the trouble, Keeper
Hopkins had run i to the
heath and waded out
into tho Surf. Wh6n, th'a -thse6
woro thrown out of the boat, Mr.
Hopkins plunged into the breakers
and caught the lit»le boy, and suc¬
ceeded in drawing bj'm' safely to
tho shoro. The# he Tan back into
the water and rescued tho young
man just ns the undertow seized
him. But for tho fyQtnft and fear
less action of Keeper Hopkins, tho
little boy and the y.oung man wbald
surely have drowned. .
The old man waft still lying
where the waves bad thrown him
when Mr. Hopkins wasabtCtO give
ftlfA attention. Although he said

Is the father of fourteen ckild ten,
all of whom are living. The little
boy, aged about 9 years, whd wa$
in the boat, is the "yoiiilgfeiit son.
The other was ata Hdpoted son,
about 20 years old, naihed {fames
Evans. Tho following is a coto-i
densation of the old man’s story*. .
“On Jane 8, 1 left niy home, in
Nassau fer a trip to Courtney Mey
after turtles, taking Along a week’s
provisions. \Yb had just got off
the Bahama banka when a calm,
which lasted two days, settled
down on us aiid we drifted into the
Golf stream which carried ttt along
rapidly. Our anchor, cable Udbd whs
only ten fathoms long, dnd ftfc
to back to the banka but cotild not
do it. Tho third day a gale struck
us. I’ve lived all my life on tho
salt water but I never saw such a
sea as thore Was in that gulf rtream.
I've seen moro there ih the last
wock than my grandfather saw in
all his life, The wavos rolled
twice as high as our mast* We
gave up all hope, but by the powfcr
of God and a good understanding
we kept the boat from sinking. Af
te the gale broke I headed the
boat west southwest, thinking I’d
striko tho Florida coast sotiie
where. I thought we were near
St. Augustine, and I knew our pro
visions would not last until we
struck land, although from tho day
we weie blown off the Bahama
banks we limited our foqd to two
crackers a day, and finally to one a
day. But four days ago Ben ate
tho last crumb. We had plenty of
water, though, and that kept us
from getting so hungYy. Wo sight
edjand last night about 6 o’clock.
I praised the Lord for lotting me
soo the land once more. I>ut I was
afraid that we would be killed
bylndians or wild beasts. I didn’t
sleep any last nfght for thinking of
them. We sailed on until about
midnight, guided by two lights on
the shore. [The lights were at the
house rf fe/uge and “Hassier’s
ftaven.’'] We anchored before the
first one. It WffS the good Lord
th^,t oydefed it; he brought u's safe
out of that,wild* rate sea, and to
the veiy door of the good keeper
of your gqvernmenl’s bouse. He
Has done everything in the , world
for us. We would havo drowned
or died of starvation but for him.
As long as God lets me live I’ll
pray to him."
There is but little more to be
told, Hr, Hopkjns gave the men
enough provisions to last .them six
weeks,And Sunday, morning they
started south. It is their intention
to enter the Indian river at Fort
Capron bar, ana sell (Rteir,, sloop
there. Nothing could induce them
to cross tho Gulf stream again,, ak
though their boat has proven, itself
to be wondcrfally seaworthy, . It
ig but 21 feet long, with 10 ; feet
beam, .draft 3 feet. It is on the
English model/, without center
board. The boat cleared from
Port BeminiiNew Providence, Cap¬
tain James Evans, although the old
man, Simon Rollo, is h6r owner.—

Saloous in the City of Mexico.
In tho City of Mexico the income
from the taxation .,of liquors and
tho license on saloons is very large
ihdeed. , Every liquor and pulque
shop pays a monthly license. Pul
,
qu« is the common or choap bever
age of the hot country. Correspond
ing to the, malt beer of the United
States. It is “purely vegetable,"
being extracted from thd maguey
plant, a species of the cactus. In
addition to thjo license t]be fees on
saloons, an octrql, or entry tax, is
collected on, all puiquo Coming
within the city limits. For.Ib© fis
cal year just, ended tJTr*. g a fa f ax
amounted to the sum qf $560,000,
or more than $1,500 a day, t
is from, the pulque ^Lnne—rtne beer
of Mexico—which,retailed at 1
cent for an osjdRnaigr glass, or three
cents for a large schooner. Add to
thiqthe taxeft on. alcobfdio, bever
ages, and also, the license fees paid
by each saloqn, of which there ar.e
thousands, and some idea may be
formed of what this city realizes
annually from the liquor traffic.

and is now published for the first

’Tis strange how superstitious in-,
tense feeling renders us, but
strangor still what aids chance
sometimos brings *o support our
suporstitionr. Dreams, my dear
Saftth; fre will agree afb biir weak¬
est thoughts; ahd ybi by dreams
havo I lately almost crazed, for
they were of you, and the sleeping
imagination painted you not such
as I left you—not such AS I could
liko and soo you—for yott sfeemed
a sacrifice to your parents’ desire,
tho bride of a wretch that your
pride and sense equally compelled
you to despisej and a fcreattiro here
telling the on dits of tho day at St.
Louis, and said that you wore
“about to bo married to a Dr. Mc
Lnrmia, a poor devil who served
with the Battalion of Rangers.
Possibly you may have seen him
—but last night tho vision was
changed; you were at t£b house of
an undo in Kentucky; Capt. McCru
was walking with you; when 1 met
you ho left you, and you told mo
of your father and of yourself al
most tho same that I have read in
your letter to night. Kind, dear
letter 1 I have kissed it often, and
11 li&a driven many mad notions
from my brain.
Sarah, whatever may be hercak
tor, I will ascribe to you. Nog
lected by you, I chonld bo werse
than nothing; and if the few good
qualities I possess shall, under your
smileff; yield a fruit, it will be
yours, as tho grain is tho husband¬
man’s.
It bas been a souroe productive
of regret with me that our union
must separate you from your earli¬
est and best friends, a tost to which
tho firmest Of very fcW are equal,
though giddy with passion or buoy*
snt by the hopes of reconciliation
there may bo many who brave it.
From you I am prepared to oxpect
all thdf inteilectand dignified pride
brings. The question as it has 6c
enrred to you is very startling.
Your own answer is most gratify¬
ing to mo that I should expect
fr 9 m you, for a,g you are the first
one with w&6ni\I $yqr ponght, to
have one fortune, so you would be
the last from whom I would oxpect
desertion.
When I wrote you, I supposed
that you did not intend soon to re
turn to Kentucky. I approvo en¬
tirely of your preference to a moet
ing elsowhero than at Pariiie Du
Chien, and your desire'to avoid
any embarrassment which might
“widen (he broach made already; it
cannot be greater than my own.
Did I know when you would bo in
■*St- Lottis, I; could flieet you there;
at all events, wo meet in kentucky.
Shall we not meet, Sarah, to part
no more ? Oh, how I long to lay
my head,upon tho breast that beats
in unison with my own ! To turn
ffrom the giekening sights of world
ly duplicity, and look in those eyes
so eloquent of purity and love !
- Do you remember the /‘heart’s
ease” you gave mei’ it is bright as
ever, :>•
ftow very gravely you asked
leave of do to aak % question. My
dear girl, I havo no secrets frofh
you. ..Itave a right to ask mo any
questions without even an apolo
gy.
Miss Bullitt did not, giye mft a
guard fbr a wdteb., But if she had,
do yousypp.ose 1 would have given
if.to Capt. McCrue? But I’ll tell you
what sho did give me-~a most
beautiful and lengthy lecture ,,©n

combined once . upon an eve^rng
fttft,“fiur’! in Jpo.uisville. As she
was ope. of the $uhjiect5 bf oquyer

you put that semicolon between
tho handsome and lady for?

The griefs over which wo woep
aio not thoso to be dreaded* It is
tho little pains—the constant fails

wear away tho heart. •
I join yoii in rejoicing that Mrs.

, “Rattle-Trap FnptpHes:’
. Tho Philadelphia Times WArnh
tho sbutU agiilnst tlio purohaso of
tho-plants of northern mills and
factories .that are offered for sale at
aparentty reasonable prices. It
says that theso plants are tlio most
costly that could bo bouglii, for the
reason that they aro rattle-trap
concern*. , ,
Tho Times goes on to 6hy that
there is not a cotton or a woolen
plant for sale any where in tho north *
that is worth transporting to the.
south. Owing to their old and im¬
perfect machinery there aro hun¬
dreds of cotton and wo.olon mills at
tho north that cannot bo run profit¬
ably thcro. t.
Perhaps this is what tho Chaitat
nooga Timos noaflt when . it oai<V
tho other day, to tho surpriso (f
tho. Now York Herald, that tho
south didn’t want northern cotton
mills. If so, tho Times was emin¬
ently correct. Tho south wants no
rattle-trap concerns dumped down
in tho midst of her industrial
plants. ...
The Philadelphia Times says
that one half of tho omallor cotton
and wool on mills of tho north aro
languishing or loosing money, or.
are idle 3olely boqauso tho machinv
ory, they havo is cut of dale and en¬
tirely unequalled to competition
with the greatly, improved machin¬
ery of tho present day.
Wo presumo that tho Times
knows what it is talking about.
.On tho other hand wo have reason
to boliovo that a majority of
tho plants,. ,of tho south aro
tho best modern pallorn. This
is certainly true of the iron plants
and this fact gives them a.great ad¬
vantage over tho majority of tho
iron fornaces of the north.
Mcanwhilo, the. advico of tho.
Times is excellent. Tho south;
would-<fa. well to fight shy of tho
rattle-trap concerns that aro adver¬
tised at tho north for salo.

5 To Keep the IJahies CooL I
, Tho conncction,bolween heat and
what is known as ^summer com-,
plaint,” was TcCsntly discussod at a
meeting of tho Illiaois StatoModic*.
al Society. , The fact was ompha-.
sized that continuous, high tornper-.
ature, acting upon tho vary delicate
norvous.system ef qhildron, seri¬
ously affects tho digestive functions
and so invites diarrhoea! disorders.;
Accepting this .,t'hepry, cold, of
course, suggested itso]f as a fomo.5
dy. “Wo should not wait for tho.
little ones during warm weather to,
become sick, but begin tho use of.
tCpid bathing, cool or cold water.
Use it frequently, and let it bo ot
a temperature suited to each indi
vidual case. If these suggestions
were acted upon, and a more liber¬
al t?8n of the remedies at hand em¬
ployed, tho lives of many children
would bo saved.” • • i .
On,o physician .present at tho
meeting in question said that in his.
praotico he tenches families to keep
their babies cool, and they do it in
this way: Just as soon as they be*
gin to feel tho effects of heat, faces,
rod and lioad tofsingabout, crying,,
etc., instead of giving them extra
food of some kind, part of their
clothing; if it . is excessively hot
they take moro off. The children,
aro then wiped down with tepid
water end allowed to lie on the
floor naked, if sufficiently hot, and
there they may remain all day.
Toward evening when the woather
boeomes cosier,their clothes put on.'
With this lino of treatment tho
children had no diarrhoea, indiges-
tion or any trouble during the sum-*
mer. He is rarely called to sco a
case of acute diarrhoea in infants
during the summer.—Boston Her¬
