Only four persons were found on board. II
did not appear that any had died. They
had evidently been a long time without much
food, being very much emaciated. Their
only remainidg food was little oil. As
near as could be ascer,ained the vessel had
been out of her reckoning forty-nins days
At the time of the discovery, the tlller was
ashed, and the ships's company seemed 10
have given themselves up to die. Capt
West took them on board his vessel, judici-
ously administered nourishing food and they
soon recovered their strength and spirits
Having taken from the vessel few spars,
Capt W. set her on fire. 1t is not yet de-
termlned what will be done with them. Two
of them Capt w. would be glad to take to
America. and if some vessel about to cruise
in the vicinity of the Japan islands. will take
the other two, it will be good and satisfac-
tory arrangement.
Is not the time approaching when the
inhabitants of the Japan islands will be
brought within the sphere of civilized nations.

sharpen their masticators on. TIE follow

read No doubt. however, but that we shall
have occasion to laugh over many similar

About a fortnight since, a tall specimen OF
Yankee manufacture arrived in the good

A Good Story.

During the war against Napoleon, men
could only be obtained for the English men
of war by means of the press gang, the ope-
rations of which interesting body led now
and then to some laughable Incidents
Among those baeged in 1893, says the
writer, was the Lord Chancellor, who was
nabbed one dark and drizzly night. while
crossing Tower Hill, a little disguised with
liquor. His ExceIlency was sent on board
tender, and was not heard of again for up
wards of seven months, when he was d;scov-
cred on the Catspaw frigate. slushing down
the mizzen in tow trousers. When bis
lordshp first came on board, he endeav-
ored to explain matters, but his story was so
extravagant that Capt Sterling informed
him that if he repeated the nonsense, he
would have him keel-hauled,

"S Say, yeou-better look at the picters, "
continued the pedlar, thrusting the book
under his nose.
This movement had an astonishing effect
upon the clerk. He jumped off the chair,
and began to examine the volume eagerly

he asked the price and purchased it,

bargain had been concluded-moving to-
