Fenriees starring Iflen TsUen From a Waterlogged Ship. The Prussian bark ixiuiua and Augusta, which arrived at New York a few days since from Hamburg, had on board fourteen sea men, rescued from the waterlogged Italian bark Taliemuno. On the morning of Sep tember 89, at 9 o’clock, tho lookout had sighted a bark flying a flag of distress. Hho proved to be the Italian bark Talismano. Clustered together on her topgallant forecas tle and afteruouse were fourteen men. The Reas at times macrlo a clean sweep over the dripping sailors and caused them often to take to tho rigging to prevent their boing washed overboard. When the roscuing bark was bove to the sens became more troublesome and it was impossible to lower a bout in safety. On board the distressed vessel a long-boat could be seen standing in chocks on the forward house And Captain Perlimont told those on the Tulismano to launch tho boat. After many attempts, in which the men’s lives wore in constant danger, tho boat wns got ovorboard and tho crew tumbled into her. They had but two oars, ami with those but little progress wns made. When near enough the men on board the Ix)uisa and Augusta threw a line ami tho shipwrecked crow were drawn along side and taken safely on board. Captain Oarglio, who commanded the Tal ismano, said that ho sailed from Pensacola, Flu., with a load of pine lumber, including a deckloud, bound for Glasgow, Scotland. On September 87th thov were struck by a cy clone and the heavily laden bark began to labor badly. When the storm had reachod its height, oh the 37th,a | ortlonof the cargo in the lower hold broke away and the vessel began to leak. All hands were sent to the pumps and for many hours struggled hard to lower the water in the hold. In the mean time tho heavy seas dnshod over her, carrying away the dockload, which with great dinicidty was forced over the rails into the sea. Two men while working among tho heavy timbers had their feot badly crushed and all had many nurrow escapes from death. At last Captain Oarglio, seeing that th« crew’s efforts wore useless to save the vessel from being water-logged, caused them to ubondon the pumps and endeavor to get more sail on tho ship. The wash of the seas had invaded the cabin, swept away tho cook’s galley and damaged or destroyed everything eatable on board, and. with water-cosVs smashed, starva tion and death stared tho crew in the face. For nearly throe flays the men had been wet through to the skin, and subsisting on such food as could be dealt out In cans, with brackish water to drink. When, on the morn ing of tho 89th, the cry of “Sail, bol” was given the famished and exhausted men had nearly given up all hopes of being saved. PERSONAL MENTION. Mare Twain cleared $70,000 last year. Robert G. Inqersoll is to deliver twelve lectures in tha South the coming season. General Berdan, the American rifle and torpedo maker, is said by a correspondent to be one of the czar’s most intimate friends. Mrs. A. T. Stewart will entertain in her marble palace in New York the coming win ter, the first time since tho death of her hus band. Walt Whitman rides out every day now in the phaeton that was lately given him by his friends. He is too lame to walk any dis tance. John Sherman is the only ono of the nine living Senators sitting in the Senate in 1801 who u still in the Senate or prominontly in public life. Tee queen of Italy is said to be paying unusual attention to dress, and her fashions and her styles are eagerly copied by the ladies of the aristocracy. Dr. Butler, who retires from the head- mastership of Harrow, England, worth $500,000, is “the most successful school teacuer in the world. Senator Cullom, of Illinois, says he has given up speaking at fairs. He thinks that a man with a speech has no chunce against a hors* race or a fat cow. Dr, Nbyron, professor of anatomy in Notre Dame university, Indiana, is the nos- tor of physicians in this country. He is nine ty-four years of age and was a surgeon in Napoleon’s army during the Russian ram- paign and at Waterloo. After the restora tion he became a priest and was an eurly missionary in the Northwest. Ho is still able to conduct his classes and few men of seventy, it is said, are so strong and active. Why are people that stutter not to be relied on? Because they are always breaking their word. SANDERSYILLE, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1885. NUMBER 26.

Details or tho troniomlous blast bjr which Flood Rock, tho gront obstruction to naviga tion In the Fftst river At New York, has boon demolished nftor a work of propnffitin which lnstcd nino years, aro a* follows: At precisely thirteen minutes After 11 o’clock A. M. n shock like tlmt of nti earthquake, ac companied by a dull, rumbling sound, passed over the city, announcing to the people of Now York the ftticciwHfiil removal of that an cient obstruction In the Fast river channel known ns Flood Rock. To the thousands of people who had gathered upon both banks of tho stream opposite Hell Onto the spectacle was probably the grnndest ono which it will over bo their fortune to wltnoss. Many hundreds more witnessed tho explosion from excursion boats and river craft of every dcsicrlption which swarmed in tho stream lioth alxivo and bolow tho rock, occupying every point of vnntngo within the limits of safety. To the little eleven-year old daughter of General John Newton, under whoso super vision tho great Work was l>ogun and com pleted, bo'ongs the honor of having flred the tremendous mine which shattered In an In stant a mountainous mass of bed-rock by touching the button which conveyod the elec tric spark to tho dynamite cartridges bolow. Tho results hotted for seems to havo been ac complished to the complete satisfaction of all lntoreete.1 in the work. Thousands of oyos were contorod on Flood Rook nt elovon o f o:ock, but at that tlmo two tugs wero soen to approach It, and men also wero seen walking about near the derrick. At eight minutes |iast eleven the tugs quickly steamed away, and five mlnuU* later the mine was sprung. Instantly a great column of water nt least ono hundred foot In hoight. covering tho entire surface of Flood Rock, rose in the nlr. It resem bled an Immense fountain with two giant pillars of water, whloh, It is estimated, reachod a height of 200 feet springing from the centre, and from the summit of which a yellowish amoko Hunted. It appeared In vlow but a socond, when the Immense vol ume of water and the debris from tho rock fell again. Thon was witnessed a terrific commotion over tho exploded mine, and a great, seothlug, whirling wave radiated from over what was onoe Flood Rook. It flow fast nntl furiuus on olther side but did not extend more than a thousand feet from tho scone of the explosion. The derrick and the tank which had boon loft standing, slnco General Newton had misgivings that If removed thoy would Interfere with the wires leading to tho mine, did not shoot up Into the air ns had boon antlclimtod, but wore thrown down, an<I whon tho mist and spray cleared away they wore soon tom almost Into frag ments and resting on a small |»rt of tho upper end ot tho rock which escaped tho crash. Immediately after the explosion a Ore broke out in tho wreck and burned lustily amid the seething waters. As far as It was possible to determine from the position and appenranoe of tbs wreck, the explosion had been an entire success, though for tho present the vicinity of the blnsted rook will be even more dangerous than heretofore until the wreck has been remuvod. Navy yard steam launches had kept Hell Gate clear for half an hour before the ex plosion took place. The shriek of steam whistles and ringing cheers from both shores thnt greotod the completed task was the sig nal for a vast fleet or craft of all descriptions from harbor and sound to make for the ex ploded rock. In a few minutes it wns sur rounded by vessels and boots Preparations to ascertain the exact extent to which the explosion wns successful, by sounding around the rocks, were promptly begun by tho en gineer In chnrgo. Tho work upon Hallot’s Point roof, at Hell bato, was begun in lmitl, and the obstruction wns blown up on Sunday, Boptoinbor 21,1870. As soon as the groat value of what had Iteen done was ascertained, work was boguii upon Flood Rock,a reof of about nine acres in area, whloh obstructed the main channel be tween Hallot's Point and tho Now York shore. An Island was constructed ou top of the rock and n shaft was sunk toadoptnof sixty-four feet bolow low-tide level. From this main shaft radiating galleries wore blasted out and the roof honeycombed. The total length of tho galleries was 21,(170 feet. The roof of the galleries was drilled with 13,286 holes of an avorago depth of nine feet These holes were loaded with cartridges containing six pounds of explosive. About 75,000 pounds of No. 1 dynamite and 340,000 pounds of rack-a-rock, o mixture ot chlorate of potash and dinltro-hen/.ole, were used. Tho blast was six times in' large in. that of Meptember, 1876, which was the largest over known up to that time. Defiant Hormone INNUK AN ADDRESS DENOUNCING THE LAW AGAINST POLYGAMY. Tho nirost, trial aud imprisonment ol prominent Mormons for polygamous practi ces has stirred them up not a littlo, and the church organ at Salt Lake City prints five columns and a half of an address from John Taylor ahd Goorgo Q. Cannon, road in a con ference at Logan. It Is devoted to strictures on tho judicial proceedings at Suit Lake City calling them prejudiced aud harsh, anti says: “Wo join with all saints in invoking blow ingsupon the noble men and women who have exhibited their integrity to God and the cause and their devotion to principle by sub- risoninent rather mitting to bonds and iinpri than deny the faith or break t he covenanta. Their names will be bold in ovorlusting honor In time and eternity, not only ns martyrs for religious truth, but ns patriots who suffered in defense of tho principle of religious lib erty.” Tboso who promised to obey the laws and so escatiod imprisonment aro referred to as tho fooliHh virgins who will not bo ready to got tho bridegroom. Tho address deplores the prejudice existing against the suints in the minds of the people, and intimutes that the courts persecute them. The address has a long arraignment of the world, of its wickoduess and tho abundance of sin among all the people, con trusting tho saints in favorable light with those who as sail them and directing tho people to be Iaitbful and true. It closes with an account of the work done by tho officers and mission aries for tho spread of the gospel, declaring all is going well. “Notwithstanding all that we aro now passing through, our heart* are filled with Joy and peace. We can truly say, ‘Hosanna to Cod in the Highest.’ Wo know that Zion will not be overthrown or made desolate. Every promise made concerning Zion by the Al mighty will bo fulfilled.” Although both Taylor and Cannon have for months been hiding from the officers, who have warrants for their arrest, the epistle is dated Salt Lake, October 6. This is decisive on the question whethor there would be a weakening on polygamy at this conference and confutes those who said there would be. ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Trelon’s Trouble; It Was Mrs. Trclon’s custom to break fast ou the wide veranda from the time spring was fnlrly Out of awaddliug clothes until tbi autumn winds blew her baok Into tho house. 8hc wss such a tiny, fragile old lady that a gentle gale could have wafted her away, ooifoe cup In hand, but tho light bre'er.o that was stirring on* Suptember morning treated her tenderly. It lifted a corner of her decoy slmwl, it tossed her bright yellow maple leaf into her lap, and ft even ven tured to tako somo liberties with her white hair, but, on the whole, it forbore to play any impish tricks on the mistress of tho Trelon homestead. Sho dwelt alone there; tho oould not be lured away by her married daughters to Now York or Newport. She was waiting patiently for th* day when her ion should grow weary of roaming, and return to etep Into his father’s shoes. Mrs. Trelon loved the fair domain that she had ruled over for so many years, but the was eager to ab dicate In favor of her eon’s wife. Un luckily ho had no wife, he did not eeem to have any wish to step Into hie father’s shoes, or bring a young mlatresa to the old homestead. He wandered aimlessly up and down the world, and tho e-amps on the letter! he sent to hie mother were as likely to be Russian or Turkish at French or German, Mrs. Trelon was quite eure that a let ter would come from him this morning, end while she Bipped her coffee and broke hor roll, hor oyesstrayed down the mnplo shaded nvonuo to the gate. Rbtind and round tho great sloping lawn the gardener drove the mower, and ho had reduced the space of un- ■horn grass to the else of a table-cloth, when tho coachman trotted a purer cob toward tho house. His clean, ruddy face was one broad smile as he allighted at the veranda. “A letter from Mr. Dick,” ho said. It was he who had taught Master Dick to throw a chubby leg over a pony’s back. "And it’s from London, and London ain’t far away.” He gave the letter to his mistress, and then pretended to llnd something amiss with the saddle girth. lie draw it up tighter, causing the fat ooh to lay back his oars and nip the empty air; and he let it out again, meanwhllo glancing fur tively at Mrs. Trelon ovor Tils shoulder. Bhe uad hardly begun to road the letter when she gave a soft, involuntary little cry. “Nothing wrong, ma'am!” said the wily coachman. ‘‘Thomas, he U coming home—Dick is coming home," cried Mrs. Trelon, in a tremor of excitement. "I knew it toon as I set eyes on that letter,"said Thomas, who always waited to hear the nows, and always pretended to havo guessed it from tho postmark. 4 • A tlffl wlmn twill tin Imliarn ma'amlH Leroy too. Oh, Emily could havtf been married had she Wished, but she was waiting for Dick. Bhe had only Wanted to teat hit devotion.

And if Mr*. Trelon had been given her choice of a daughter, her heart would first o‘f ail have turned came ftwm Diok. He was in New York; her would be at home that evaniag.

She was ashumed of her weakness, snd looked sternly at Thomas, who mounted hie cob and rode toward the etables, mut tering something about Mr. Dick's needing new horses. Mrs. Trelon read the letter agnin, the hand that held the sheet of jiajier trembling a little, the eyes that scanned tho lines filling with tears of joy. “I shall be at home in ten days,” Dick wrote, ‘‘probably on the third of ',and you m the month, and you may pray for the safo passago of tho Servia.

It is nat- | urol that I should revert to the past whon my thoughts turn homeward. I wont toward Emily. The girl who woe ehnring Mrs.Trelon’s thoughts with Dick at this juncture walked swiftly across tho lawn. Bhe had come through a gap in the hedge that she and Dick had made years ana years agff, Ihd that waa always kept open to'admit Out friendly intercourse betwoen the Raynors and Trelon*. Emily was a a tall, stately girl, with a fresh face and large brown eyes. Not hnndaome, per haps, was Mrs. Trelon’* comment, DUt sweet and wholosomo, and a gentle woman from her crown of cheitnut hair to the tips of her elendor feet. “Good morning,” Emily said. “AhI that letter is from Dick; I am aura of it, although I did not eo much aa get a glimpse of his handwriting. It is your faoo that toll* me. What ia tha good newsf” “He is coming home,” said Mrs. Tre lon; and she lookod at Emily fixedly. Emily certainly changed color, and her eyet opened wider. “Coming home! He is not ill?” “No. He says ha is tired of roaming; he wants to settle down.” Emily bent over nnd kissed Mrs. Tro ian’* brow. “I am ao glad for you,” iho said. “Rut you will be glad to seo him too!” asked Mrs. Trelon, plaintively. “Indeed I shall. Diok and I havo been friends since we were babies.” “You usod to be married to him every week,” said Mrs. Trelon. “Your broth, er used to act ns parson, but he could not read, nnd held the prayer-book up- sido down. Oh, Emily, you children were very happy together.” “Yes,” said Emily, “as happy at chil dren could be.” 8ne leaned back in the wicker chair, and looked absently at a clump of cedars. A pensive smllo played about bsr lip*,and an uncalled-for blush •lowly mounted over her cbeeki. “It seem* a long time ago,” she went on after a while. “I tm almost twenty-six; 1 feel very old.” “Diok is only four month* older,” said Mrs. Trelon “Ah, but n woman of twenty-eix and a man of twentr-xixl” Emily exclaimed. “I dare say he will took upon mo aa quite a spinster; he will wonder if I have thought of tho proverbial cat and ten, lie must have mado up hie mind very hastily,” ehe added—“l mean, t* return home. ” “No, I think he acted deliberately; although I confess he did not write to me that he had any thought! ot coming home. He will be here by the 8d.” “Mr birthday,” said Emily. And then nnother long pauee ensued. Mrs. Trelon could not restrain n smile when ehe saw Emily’s earnest, preoccti-1 pied expression. There waa a little | wrinkle of anxiety botween the girl'* brows; clearly iho was troubled about j something. Mrs. Trelon stretched out | her hand with a tender smile. “My dear,” don’t you suppose Dick told hie mother!” “1 have often wondered," said Emily. "He eould not keep it from mo," Mrs. Trelon oontinuad. “He woe very un happy. It hurt him to think that you looked on him as a mere boy who acted wholly from impulse. And there i* a stubborn streak in him. Otherwise he would not have staid away so long; but he was determined to prove that what you considered a boyish impulse woe a deop and lasting affection." “Ob, ho would have fallen love with any girl who lived noxt door,” Emily said. “He has forgotton all that by this time.” “I am sure he h •; not forgotten; you will see; you will have to confess that you misjudged him.” silk, Mrs. Trelon sat ia the drawl _ room, and awaited her eoa’a coming in a sort of (tony despair. The earriaga whocls crunched on the gravel, a cherry voico sang out “All right I” the hell door opened, and then Mr*. Trelon wen clasped in Dick’s arm*. She sobbed helplessly, and he smiled tenderly as ha rebuked her for the weakness that mod# him love her the better. He bed a think mustachn tjow, and there wu an auther- itatlve air about him ; he waea boy a* longer. “You bnve not grown a day older," ho mid as he drew his mother's haad through his arm and led her to tha dining-room. “This is tha plaoa for pooplo who want to keep yonag.

And how did Emily look at you!" “At young and sweet os she did whea I fell it * ■ - - a love with her twenty years ago. ’’ Mrs. Trelon stifled a sigh. “You wore always fond of Emily.” "And I always shall be,” Dick said, “although I thought ehe treated me badly once; but she woe wiier than I, nftor nil. It wu quite right of her to test the love of twenty-three. I shall tell her thnt; I shall endeavor to show my gratitude for her advice. Imustgoaaa see Emily to-morrow, bleu her dear heart I” Ills fane softened as he uid this, sad parted in a smilo of perfect happiness. Kirs. Trelon gathered up her courage; slio was about to tell him Emlly’e fate, when Diok suddenly began to talk of hie voyage. ’ ‘Such a delightful run 1” he said. 1 ‘Tha ship was crowded, to bo sure, and the beef they gave us wu abominable; but what is beef whon the sea and sky smile nt each other, and a man ha, nothing to do but to lie on a rug and think of future bliss! A most entartnining occupation: I need not toll you; you too have been in Arcadia, ns tho poets and novel ists say." Ho wu so serenely happy that Mrs. Trelon made up her mind that she oould not tell him of Emily’e faithleuaeu. There hod been no promisee made, bub be had trusted her, and now— “Shall we go into tho library!” uld Dick, when dinner was over. “1 wont to talk to you," be continued, leading her into the cherful, book-lined room. “I don’t eupposo I shall surprise you, for tf . my letter wu blind, it wu telbtala.' ; - onough.

When I think j of seeing tny sweet little mother again—" | Here the tears came so thick nnd fast that Mrs. Trelon could not read. Sho patted the stieot of paper tenderly. “My dear boy,” sho said, “ray dear, dear boy." As sho folded the letter to put it back into tha envelope, a postscript on the fourth page caught her eye. “P. 8.—I met Joe Herrick in Paris the other day, and ho tqid me that Dr. Murray was very sweet on Emily. Of course, if there had been anything in it, you would have told me." “Bo," said Mrs. Trelon, lifting her delicate eyebrows, and nodding—“so it is Emily, aftor all? I know it waa some body, and it is Emily. He might as well have told me outright." She smiled at her boy’s clumsy evasion as she ro-read the letter. Of course it was Emily. He hud been desperately in love with her at twenty-three, and now h'e wondered if his chances were any better. A thousandfold better. Emily bad looked on him A9 an impetuous boy'; she had told him to learn his own mind, and she would discover that iie hud learned it. She probably was sorry after she had sent him away, for she had refusod several excellent offors. All the world know—at least all the little world of Irvington knew—that Harry Ward had offered himself to her and had met with a refusal. Then there was George For a few days Mrs. Trelon was the happiest of women, but one afternoon sho saw Emily drive past with Dr. Mur- i ray, and the sight alarmed her. Dr. Murray was the friend of all the Raynor ' family; he went to their house constantly to soo Mrs. Raynor, who was an invalid, but it had not been his eustom to drive Emily out. Could it be possible that there were grounds for Dick’s suspicion! Ho had heard in Pari* that Dr. Murray was a suitor for Emily’s hand, whilo bis | mother living next door had seen nothing, had heard nothing. She was suddenly filled with misgivings, and when sho a seoond time saw Emily seated beside Dr. j Murray in his trim carriage, sho resolved to learn the truth. Accordingly one j evening she took Dick’s letter ana went | to tho Raynors’, where sho found Emily , on the veranda with the obnoxious, clover, society-hating littlo doctor. Ha was not so very little, but bo was stout, and middle-aged, and bald—not to bo 1 compared to a tali, slim man like Dick. He went away presently, and Mrs. Tre lon, after trying in vain to find out what j she wanted to know without asking a direct question, finally showed Emly the postscript to Dick’s letter. “My dear, what shall I tell him?” she said. “I havo been engaged to Dr. Murray just a week,” Emily answered, with per fect composure. Mrs. Trelon was stunned. She sat si lent for a longtime, holding the letter in her nerveless fingers. “Just a week,” she repeated at last. “Thon it was before you knew Dick was coming home? If you had known—” “It would have made no difference,” said Emily, with a soft littlo laugh. “Dear Mrs. Trelon, I am very sure Dick has forgotten his boyish lovo affair. He asks about me, of course, for I believe ha will always have the same warm affec tion for me that I shall always have for him. But ho will not break his heart because Allen Murray is to marry me. No. no. He will wish me happiness, and laugh at the amatory episode of his youth.” “He will not laugh.” said Mrs. Tre lon, piteously. “Oh, Emily? how could you?” “How could I fall in love with Allen? Because he is the best and noblest and dearest man in the world, I suppose. Does anybody know any better reason for falling in lovo?” And she laughed again, softly; but Mrs. Trelon looked very disconsolate, and was not to be comforted. “My poor Dick!” ehe murmured. BBjrlng WIM Animals. Tbo following is from an interview with A. E. Riirkhardt, of the Cincinnati Zoological society, in the Commercial Ornette: "The one placo to buy animals is in Hamburg, and it has really become the nnimu! centre of the world. The largest dealer there is a man named Iltigcnbaek. - His place is visited by showmen from all parts'’of the world, and his own establishment is a wonder ful exhibition iiself. I bought from him tho following animnis for Cincinnati: One pair cnmols, fivo yenrs old, gSOO; one camel gelding, tho largest Hagen- back ever saw, with a saddle which will carry six children, I860; ono pair red Asintio kangaroos, 9400; one male great kangaroo, 9J?3; one pair zebras, ft,300; ono pair hyenas and Esquimaux dog (happy family), 90S; ouo pair brown Russiau hears, 9525; uue pair lion-slayer baboons, 9250; ono male dog-faced baboon, 9275; one pair llamas, 9400; two pair Cashmere goats, 9350; six pair Malagan geese, $200; four pair North sea wild ducks, 9100; ono Lowenberger dog, 9225; one tapir, 91,500; one pair ant bears, 9400; one young chimpanzee, already pnrtly trained, 92,000, “I am also negotiating for and expect to receive on thu same steamer with th* above, ono pair of handsome black panthers, for which 9800 is the pries; one pqlr of yearling tigers, 9300, and a single-horned rhinoceros, which 1 expect to got for $8,000. and which will be pre sented to the garden by a New York city merchant. I have also hired from Hagen- back lour fur seals, which are now on exhibition in Paris. They nre trained by a Dane, who will come with them.

She had not answered this question to her own satisfaction, she bad not laid out a plan of conduct, when a telegram violin, and fire a cannon.

Professor Richard A. Proctor says the moon is the most interesting of all the heavenly bodies. . It has been particular ly serviceable in the proof it affords of tho law of gravitation. It proves, too, what the world has been in remote sges of tho past and what it will be in remote ages to come. Its most significant ser vice to man has been as a measurement of time.
