CriiMcr’u gmlqmidcnt, SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1874. MY MIIUCI'LODS ESC A I'l.S. and • 1 TIY mur HHAKIHWER. I linvo rend of ninny narrow escapes, both liy non nn<l land, from bloody pirates, or aiigulplliug waVo; of the ofH! Hint nrer oiloan mlvrtfres, or wild boosts, of the other. With a all udder I rocaU iny own experi ence, to which, after n lapse of nearly a nooro of years, I cannot look hack without thanking a kind Providence for my re markable preservation. In the vcnr 1802, X took passage on Iward • ship at dull Francisco, California, fortlie Isthmus, on my way homo from the gold mines. Onr ship, tho Ida, car rind some two hundred passengers, mostly! returning ndtttfa, Howe, Hfc* myself, had Imnn nneuoMesful, whilst others had gntherod rich rewards from tho golden sands. According to tho old adage, a ‘'good bo kimiing a Uut ending,” we might n>iVo heen prepared for ill luck, for a ves sel never left a port with a brighter prosjKict than did ours. It ww u bouulii u} balmy, toppling in BcptemW, With jfi*t breeze enough to fill tho anils; a duv to make one feel young and bouyant, ana ghul that he is amid the living to enjoy it How grandly wi *uW out into the beaut ifuihny. In fancy I can see the crowd upon tlm waif, and the waving of bats and handkerchiefs, as they bade us a silent "farewell. How glo riously wo passed through the “Golden Gates," those portals through which the wealth and expectations of nations have goneand oomo; those guardian amitinels that staudjto protect tiio most beautiful liny in the world. Our voyage for tho first lia’f of the way was most cheerful and prosperous, lmt as we sailed into the tropics storms began, light at first, but each succeeding one grew more severe. They cmno along with a regularity seldom equaled, until we could .almost oertauily expool,one every eVcSing. They, sometimes gave us little warning and several time* our vessel was in danger of capsizing, or being thrown upon her beam-ends; then Huy fluttering or neglect of duty might have been fatal to her living freight, liad it not been for nno of thcscuitorma, and my own careless ness, I perllnps would not ,liuve this story to relate. It is said that “familiarity breeds con tempt.” I think this was true with me. I was a great coward, during the first bad Weather, bui I gradually became accus tomed to it, so that 1 kept ou deck during some of tho worst hurricanes we had, and I enjoyed the sight of the wild warring cleinants, watching our noble tors as they kept the vessel tart and trim in the midst of the howling storm. On the eve of tho 23d of September, ■well do I remember the date, u hurriotyie came on just id dusk, I haste! o 1 on deck without any premonition ol what was to follow. The crow had taken in nearly id) sails, and we were scudding along i aider bare poles, al thp rate of-seven or slight knots an hour, through the angry ntarm; red, blue mid yellow lightning whs playing nud darting athwart the utormy sky; great drops of icy lain struck ino in the face; 1 grasped the gumvhale tightly to soenre myself; tho mate was is f ning Horne orders to tho crew, this I well neiucmbor. The next instant I was over board lo tlio‘ foninUig/si etLing waters, whether from a sudden lurch of the ship, or my holdgiving way, I know not. Upon rising to the surface, 1 distinctly heard the cry nbovo tho noisy elemouts, of “man overboard; man the boats 1” and saw the vessel fast leaving me to my fate, until tho waves and darkness lud her forever from my view. - I was an excellent, swimmer. 1 swam towards tho fast recoding ship with all tho strength I could exert, in hopes that tlie boats, if searching, would find and take mo in. Vain hope, futile exertions ! If they ever tried to find me 1 know not. I soon became so exhausted that 1 ceased all attempts in that direction, and gave np all hypes of being ipscund by' my late comrades. Somotlring struck mo on the head, knocking me nearly senseless, I grasped it—it was a thick, heavy plunk, eighteen inches in width, and about ten feet in length. I got ÜBpu ite it buoyed me up sufficiently to rest myself without making much- exertion to keep my head above the water. I could not review my situation; awful indeed did it appear to me—tho growing darkness; the vivid flashes of lightning, nnd tho furious driving storm. I knew my into comrades were far from my reach, nud I could not blame them for it, for I dsabted if a.bout could live in tho gale, much luefi could the ship lay to, to tumble them to search for me; and they had prob ably dp no all they could to save mo in throwing tho plunk overboard that I now rested upon. 1 thought it might bo only a question of time between my loss and theirs, for if tho hurricane continued long it would prove fatal to them and tho vos ael. These thoughts passed through my mind os I tossed upon tho angry waves, a hopeless castaway. How I passed 'tlud dreadful night I can scarcely remember. Tho morning broke clear and bright, the storm was over, but the waves rau mountains high. With my plank yet under me, 1 was sometimes on Ike Manacle of the topmost of them, and iigtna deep down in tho trough of the sea. Boon hs it was light enough, from the high est waves I looked eagerly around. Not a sail was in sight, nothing but tho wide ex panse of roiling, heaving waters. My spirits sank, for until now I had a faint hope that a vessel, in passing, or a sight of land would greet my eyes. Vain expecta tions! I prayed and cursed by spells un til I was near crazed and almost t xlmnsted. T'has time passed,, anti I grew calm — tho cahnness bom of despair. About the middle of tho day, from the highest waves I tossed upon I thought I eoukl see-laud, looking like mountain tops, i 1 could mat clearly determine, they might be ehaids,. and now how anxiously I watch ed for them. After uu agonizing interval of scveiol hours, again 1 saw them; this: time 1 was sure it was laud, thrice blessed ' land ! But now the question arose, “can I I reach it alive ?” This seemed very : doubtful I was cold ;veu under a tropi- ! eul sun; I was nearly famished from my long fust. Hunger and thirst, with ray ex ertions, laid. almost exhausted me. Life j was deal' to me, and I would exert my ut most to resell Lmd, even though it be a rockey, liurreu. coast. Slowly 1 struggled onward with my plank vet under me. 1 dared not to give it up for fear I should sink to rise no more. Just before daylight faded away I conld see land plainly, end fancied 1 saw trees- growing along lire shore, yot I was not euro but it might be imagination. Kind ITovidenoe seemed to favor me, for u strong wind began to blow towards the Hud. I now made u much better headway, but another difficulty now beset me. I could not keep awake; tired and worn out nature must give way to sleep. This would be fatal to me, and I exerted myself to the utmost to keep mv eyes open, ever anil anon arousing myself as I felt mv hold giving away upon my pkuik. * 'fljTM the second night wore away. When it beeainc light 1 had just energy enough to look for land. There it was ! source a longue nwsy; but hope and strength were almost gone. 1 could do but little now to reach ih yot the wives wi re lending me their help. I knew they would east IflC upon it, dead or alive, i hoped the latter, yet it did not (seem to matter much which. How this day passed I have no distinct recollection, 1 (lindy remember of dark ness closing around, stjll clinging to my plank, still ebbing towards tlm land. I said a short prayer, then a stunning Bern sution, and I knew no more. I atroke out of a refreshing sloop, and looki and eagerly around; I could scarcely credit my senses, the past seemed a hor rible dream, I Was safe on Hud; the merciful waves had thrown mo high and dry when life hail almost forsaken roe. Hut now a drenry looking prospect wan be-j fore me a long sandy boooh, ns far as the dye could reach, hummed ill by foworifig nliffs, on the sides of which grAv some stunted pine and oodnrs. I tried to get upon my feet, but could not for a while, I was so fearfully wore and bruised. At length, with the aid pf a rood that lay near uie, I managed to stand erect oneo more. I was so nearly famished with hunger and thirst that, I reeled like a drunken man. I staggered along tho beach in search of something to appeare- my raven ous cravings. I came to a small spring of pure water, and eagerly swallowed all I could hold. I think that was tho Ix-st wa ter I ever drank in all my life. This strengthened mo, and 1 continued my search for food. Boon I found a dead fish, ciiat ashore during the night, that the vul turcs had not vet discovered. I devoured it ravenously; it was not tho best of food, yot I thought it was tho sweetest moat 1 ever ate. 1 now felt like a different being, and I traversed tho base of the cliffs, in hopes of finding nil opening or pass. By frequent resting I traveled a long distance withoutqiny show of success, and I begun to fear tliat night would overtake me in dose proximity to my late enemy, tho salt water. But at length I caine to a bayou, through which flowed a stream of water. A,Borrow road or trail led along one side; this I gladly followed, not knowing or car ing much whither it led me, so that 1 got away from.tho vicinity of tho ocean. 1 found plenty of berries of an agreeable taste; these I ate to my satisfaction. Dark ness found me in a dreary, wild looking place, but less rough and mountainous than that I had passed through. 1 was in hopes of finding some village or human habitation before nightfall; and now I van in a wilderness, how vast I knew not, nor did I know how to get out, unless by f Mowing the trial, which was now much plainer. This I believed to be tho best policy, so 1 went ahead as fast ns I could. Suddenly a crackling in the bush warn ed me of the near approach of somo wild beast. I looked—a low growl, two shin ing eyes that looked like balls of lire w ith in twenty paces oi me. Horror-struck I stood transfixed. I knew but too well what it was, and that I was in imminent peril. There with glistening eyes, waving fail and erect mane, just fixing for n spring, was tho lion of tho Isthmus. A moment only I gazed, then ran with all tho strength 1 could exert, terror lending tieot ncss to my feet. I could hear tho beast leaping close behind me, and expected ev ery instant to feel lito fangs in my flesh. Boon l was so nearly exhausted that I was ou the point of giving up, I saw a small tree just before me. I made a leap up aw far as I could and grasped the trunk tightly with my arms, but before I could get higher out of his reach, the furious boost made a bound for me, just a little short of his object, but succeeded in tear ing the flesh open to the hone, from my kneo to my ankle, with his sharp claws. However, I was soon out of his reach. Securing myself amid tho branches of the tree, I took off my shirt and bound up my wounded limb, and partly stanched the blood, which was now running in a stream. 1 soon got so week from mv kite exertions and lows of blood.that I laid to secure my self iu tho forks of the tree to keep from f tiling. My enemy made soin“ desperate leaps for me, but finding they were short of the object, ho finally gave it up, and lay down at the root of tho tree and widen ed me with his terrible eyes. I was. safe for the time, but how long ho would stay I did not know, butljndgod ho would leave at daylight. From my orumpod position, and the pain of my wounded limb, I passed mi awful night. However, it wore away at last, and I was free, my captor having left at the approach of day. My exertions in descending tire tree, with my wounded limb, caused me tire Severest jiaiu. I hobbled along tho trail somo two miles or more and oiune to a plain, well-traveled road, running nearly north and south. Judgiug that south would lead to Panama, I followed it. About the middle of tho day I became so f lint I could go no further. I lay down by the roadside so wretched that Isoarooly would huvo risen to my feet to save my lifo. 1 fell into a stupid slumber, from which I was rudely awakened by somo one shak ing me by tire shoulders, I opened my eyes and beheld a company of muleteers, who had, at sight of me, paused in the road; they spoke to lire in Spanish, which I understood, asking who 1 was, how I came there, where 1w as going. 1 freely told them of my troubles aud escapes, and of my severe wound. They listened iu astonishment and much wonder, and ended by giving mo to eat and drink of their pro vision. Olio of their number, who was quite a surgeon, dressed my wound; they then divided the pack of one mule amongst the others and gave him to me to ride. They were going to Panama, which they said was two days’ travel yot. To make my long story short, I will add that 1 arrived in Panama safe. After staying there two weeks my wound was so far healed that I continued my journey to Chagres, there took passage inn steamer, j and in due time arrived safe at home, after having passed through almost incredible j dangers. As for my late shipmates, .1 never heard from them, ami fear that the vessel with all on board was lost. Tho Lapland Church Awakeuer. Even in Lapland tho sormons are some times dull, mid listeners are occasionally sleepy, but the Lai>s have a way of getting around tho difficulty which may be recom mended even among us to alt whom it may concern. Iu Lapland, it appears, the preacher is armed with a large baton, aud with this ho beats a sort of hermeneutical tattoo upon tho pulpit whenever he catches any of his congregation in the net of nc'dding. But, lest some slumbering delinquent should fail to attract the atten tion of tho preacher, the sexton is utilized as a co-worker in the gospel, aud keeps himself awake by meandering about the church, wielding a long stick, mitigated by a cushion at one end. With this stick ho diligently pokes sleepers iu the ribs, and goads on their faculties to the sail duty of attention. Thus the Laps have an arrangement for punching tho congrega tion when they get sleepy. They do not, seem to have devised auv method for 1 punching the preacher when he makes 1 them so. [From the Atlanta Herald.] THE GRANGERS AND THE MER CHANTS. Shall Fanian he Allowed to buy at Whole mu it* 1 Homo days since my attention was culled to a published report of an interview be tween one of yonr number mid a prominent retail merchant of the city. More recently I have read tho action of tho Chamber of Commerce upon a memorial submitted by the Grocers’ Association. Tho system thus inaugurated threatens bankruptcy and ruin to farmers, and I beg tlmt you will allow mo to cull tho attention of Grangers through tire Htatc to this strange and criminal proceeding. This whole thing, it seems to me, is as unnatural as it is unwise. Nobody denies the prims necessity for agricultural success. Every man, of whatever class, must fool his weal or vrno directly dependent upon tho productions of the soil, now is it then tlgit business men cannot soe the utter ruin ahead of the oountry, when tlioy slaughter farmers by wholesale ami leave ft record erf ruin, wretchedness and death written upon homes that should be adorned with bflauty, plenty and pence ? Where is the farmer to-day in this proud old commonwealth, who, under tho most favorable circumstances, can more than eke out a bare subsistence ? And yet, we are told wo must do it under the blistering lash of a merchant prince, that brings the blood ut every blow. Candor compels ns to say that this state of things Inis boon brought about by the blind stupidity of farmers. The remedy is to be found, not so much iu a despondent dwelling upon the past, as in a combined uprising against tho demands of the present. To-day we find ourselves confronted by a well armed host, organized, drilled and marshalled by tho best skill their talent and study can furnish. Backed by resources abundant for their supply, laborious and energetic in the execution of plans, combined mid united in their purposes of ruin, stretch ing out their bloody length all over the laud, we find them fortified, threatening and defiant, before wo lual even suspected a feud. Shull we be slaughtered ? ,Shull wo quietly live under this system of op pression, until tho merchants pocket our lands, and the hopes of our little ones van ish into thin air ? Ifyo* say yon will re bel, shoulders to shoulders let u* present an unbroken front, until we stamp with eternal shame this unnatural cru-sude against the rights of our people. Wliut can you buy or what can you sell, as a farmer, and not deal iu the camps ol tho enemy ? You ship your cotton lo a factor to sell, and ho is hound by his oath to charge you 2] per cent., when, if ho is candid, he will tell you ho conld grow rich upon 11. You want to buy fertilizers, and you go to n deposit "in hostiam con tra,'* and you find tho established price far beyond your means, out. of proportion to its cost, and the value it yields in its use. Ask an indulgence in this enormous outrage, and it is grunted at the mercy ol a per cent, you cun never pay, until the ground grows money instead of cotton. You are compelled to buy bacon and corn in large quantities. You will, ol course, apply to a wholesale merchant, to get tho advantage of an original sale. II you make know n that you are a former you can't make a bill, even though you take half the stock the dealer controls. During the recent session of tho Legisla ture a member of that body was refused the advantages of a wholesale house, and sent to a retail merchant to buy ten thou sand pounds of buoon. Not ns a necessity for legitimate trade, but simply to secure for tho retail man a living in tho shade, through your hands that blister in the sun. Am I wrong in behoving that the wholesale men, ns n body, will hold to this policy ? Hear what “Grocer” says: Repotorr- “Do yon think you will be able to control the matter by your Associa tion ?" Grocer —“Wo certainly do. Wo have most of tho leading retail nion iu our Asso ciation now, and are going to appeal to Marietta, Gainesville, Madison and till other markets that trado with Atlanta, to join its in the attempt." The Chain her of Commerce, with only one dissenting voice, lias pledged itself to use its influence to support the scheme. If the farmers iu this country can shoulder this burden and live, then 1 have read the signs of the times to no purpose, and “my fathers have.taught mo augury in vain.” No man can object to the legitimate business of retail trado—indeed it is a necessity and a oonveuienoe. When we buy a ham it is but right wo should pay n retail prioo, but wheu we buy ten thousand pounds.- meat, why not givo us the benefit of wholesale trado ? Where is tho humanity iu sending us to the end of n long lino of middle mou to squeeze out tire last ooppor, when tho wholesale men could so easily and honorably accommodate onr wants and lift us from poverty. I would not array one class of om people against another. I would not bring about a conflict of interests' that would damage, iu the least, tho honest business of tire humblest citizon, but, I must say, this oppression has well nigh reached its limit, ami farmers must And relief, or ruin is in evitable. This is not the place to discuss our action. Suffice it to say, that a Grange Agent, by- trading with the Western mar kets, saved for Grangers one thousand dol lars upon a single order for flour, llow easy it will be for all Grangers to buy through our recognized agents, and thus pocket the money that Atlanta merchants are so generously bonding around among themselves. Wimt need we core for home markets that combine to crush us ? Lot our money go North, South, East and West if it w ill, but save you nu honest mar gin to support your farm, beautify your homo and build up the waste places of our impoverished State. Wo must defend our interests by lire wisdom of our plans, the combination of our efforts aud our unceasing struggle against the tyranny of our oppressors. Gkauchsk. One Pixtumuty or Lovk. —At first, it surprises one that love should be made the principal staple of all the best kinds of fiction; and, perhaps, it is to be regretted that it is only one kind of love that is chiefly depicted in works of tuition. But that love itself is the most remarkable thing in human life there cannot be the slightest doubt. For see what it will conquer ! It is not only tlmt it prevails over selfishness, but it has tho victory over weariness, tiresomeness and familiarity. When you are with a person loved, you have lie sense of being bored. This hum , bio and (rival circumstance is tha great test, the only sure and abiding test of love. ■ With the persons you do not love you are ; never supremely at your ease. You have some of tho sensation of walking upon j stilts. In conversation with them, how i ever much you admire them, aud arc interested in* them, the horrid idea w ill cross vour mind of “What shall I saynext V | Converse with them is not porloct associa tion. But with those you love, the satis faction in tlicir presence is not unlike that of the relation of heavenly bodies one to ! another, which in their silent revolutions, I lose none of their attractive power. The ! smi does not talk to the world, hut it does I attract it. Judge Bicknell on the Women’s War. Judge Gobrge A. Bicknell, Circuit Judge of the Now Albany and Jefferson ville Judicial District, and one of most able aud learned Judges upon the bench iu In diana, whoso rulings ore seldom reversed by tha Supremo Court of that Htato, publisher tho following commu nication iu tho New Albany Ledger- Standard of a recent date, which will have groat weight upon the subjoct alluded to: Editor LuDjwr-Stamleird: In your account of tho temperance pro ceedings of yesterday, you state that a note was received from a gentleman ad vising tho parties “not to lie afraid of do ing imy illegal thing.” Women, ns well as meu, ought to bo afraid of doing any ille gal thing. Mob law enforced by women is no better than mob luvr enforced by men. We are forbidden to do evil that good may como. l’ruyer can not consecrate a wrong. The licensed .liquor seller has a fran chise. The Btute is bonnd to protect an J uphold him in tho oxerciso of that fran chise. No crowd Ims a right to gather to gothor, in a man’s place of lawfnl business to interrupt that business by praying or anything else. No crowd lias a right to make an obstruction on the street, around a man’s ploco of lawful business; to inter rupted-that business by prayer or any thing else. No crowd has aright to violate tho pub lic peace and good order of a city, by ob structing and creating a fdlstnrbuuco in the puclic highways of tho city, and all such crowds are liable to bo dispersed by the policemen of tho city. But further, all persons who hold public meetings in rooms, and there make, or procure to be made, extravagant aud false statements about a law ful business, tend ing to injure the trade of persons doing such business, are liable to the party so in jured, for all special damages thereby sub tallied. Man ought to deal gently with Woman. H ic is not responsible for tho recent de monstrations; her impulsive nature, is in stigated and urged ou by our own sex, who are “afraid to do” what, if it were lawful at all, it would be man's business to do. Tire present liquor law, honestly enfor ced, will accomplish all that tho Legisla ture intended, and it is the duty of all good citizens to stand by tho law, and en force it while it is the law. Violation of natural or social rights, if encouraged, generally end iu riot and bloodshed. This has already been tho re sult iu Ohio. Geojkie A. Bkjkneeu Lincoln's Religious Faith. Ward H.-Lnmon, the reputed author of a lifo of Lincoln, his intimate frii nil and law partner for ninny years, answers a criticism of Henry Ward Beecher in re lation to Mr. Lincoln's religions views, in a letter to that Reverend gentleman which concludes as follows: He untortaitied tho belief that the Holy Scriptures were not of divine inspiration. On this point his mind had reached a fixed and unutterable decision. He was an in fidel, and rested in his conclusions. It would certainly li ive been pleasant to mo to have closed t ie chapters of his bigoro phy without touching upon his religious opinions; but such an omission would have violated the fundamental principal upon which every litre of the book was traced. Had it been possible to have truth fully asserted that he was a member of t ho Church of Ciirist or that he believed in tire New Testament, the fact would have been proclaimed with a glow of ut - feigned satisfaction. I como now to com plain of tire injustice which you have done me personally when you sny tlmt the heartiness of his arguments npon Mr. Lin coln’s religion easts a certain doubt upon it, and leaves the impression that lie was inspired by an auti-Ghristion animus. Pardon me, my dear sir; although not a professing Christian myself, I may sav that few men possess a deeper veneration for the Christian religion and all that the orthodox church regards as sacred, than tho humble individual whom you make the subject of your somewhat severe criti cism. 1 may not always employ tho lan guage which would best declare my mean ing, but when so many very good people in pious and loyal zeal sought to make their hid (and I might say mine) a devout and rigid Christian, I deemed it unjust to him and injurious to Christianity itself to permit such an error to puss without cor rection and refutation. Ward H. La sion. An Editor Who Is Deaf. We thought everybody in the Htnto knew that wo wore deaf, lint once in while we find one who is not aware of the fact. A fomalo book-peddler camo to the office the other day. She wished to dis pose of a book. She was alone in this world, and hail no one to whom she conld turn for sympathy or assistance; bonce wo should buy her book. 81io was un married, and had no manly heart into which she could pour her sufferings: there fore wo ought to invest in her book. She had received a liberal education, and could talk French like a native; we could not, in consequence, pay her less than £2 for a book. Wo had listened attentively, and here broke in with “What did you say? Wo’er deaf.” She started in a loud voice, and again went through with her rignmn rolo. When she h*td finished, wo went and got a roll of paper and made it into a speaking trumpet, placed one end to our ear and told her to proceed. She com menced: “I am alone in the world—“lt doesn’t make the slightest difference to us. We are a husband and father. Bigamy is not allowed in this State. We are not el igible to proposals.” “O, wliat a fool the man is I” she said in a low tone; then at the top of her voiee: “I don’t want to mar ry you. I want to sell-a-b-o-o-k. ” Tho last sentence was howled. “We don’t want a cook,” we remarked blandly; “out wife docs the cooking, and she wouldn’t allow as good looking a woman as you to stay in the house five minutes. She is very jealous.” She looked at us in des pair. Gathering her robes about her, giving ns a glance of contempt, she ex claimed: “Ido believe that if a 300-ponn der were lot off alongside that deaf fool’s head, he’d think somebody was knocking at the door.” You should have heard her ■slam tho door when she went out.

But the photographer is uow suggested, as tho complement of the telescope, as the speo trosoopo has already been used in ike same capacity.
