A NOBLE WOMAM.

TIE Toronto { (Canada) Globe gives a
very interesting report of the presenta-
tion Of the Gold Medal of the New York
Lie Saving Benevolent Association. to
Mrs. Abigail Becker, for her noble hero
ism 10 saving the lives of the crew Of the
wrecked schooner Conductor. The pre-.
senta,ion was made by the Collector of
Customs. who recapitulated the striking
facts in the heroic achievement as fol-
lows:
On the morning of cold November's
dav, the Canadian schooner Conductor
left Amherslburg, bound for Toronto
She sailed with a fair wind, but about
midnight terrible gale Of wind over
took her; her decks were cleared, her
masts were sprung. the sheets of her
forward sails parted, and she labored

teacherous Lake Erie. Towards four
O'Clock, on a cold Canadian winters
morning. snow-storm preayiled, OBJ
scuring every land malk from the sight
OF the suffering crew. The schooner
struck on a sboal on the west end of
Long Point. at a distance of two hun
dred yards from land, and was wreck!
The crew could scarcely even hope
for assistance from eff the sandy. unin-
habited. desolate looking shores. Their
boat had been washed away. and they
were forced into the frozen rigging to
escape certain death frow the seas which
the raging winds drove over the decks
of the vessel. Hope was nearly leaving
the breasts of that wretcheI crew still
cling,ng TO the shrouds. when towards
evening they deserted a woman aad two
children walking on the beach toward
them.

real calamity, "noihing is so quantity
sweet as lovely melancholy" This faint
imIge Of sorrow has in all ages been con-
sidered by young gentlemen as an agree
able excitement. Oh gentlemen and
middle aged gentlemen have so many real
causes Of sadness, tina. they are rarely
inclined ''io be as sad as night only for
wanionness." Indeed, they want the
power, almost as much as the inclination.
Among that large class of young per-
SONS whose reading is almost confined 10
works of Imagination, the popularity Of
Lord Byron is un5ounded. They bought
pictures of him; they treasured up the
smallest relics Of him; they learned his
poems by heart, and did their best to write
like him. Many of them practiced at the
glass in the hopes of catching the curl OF
the upper lip, and the scowl of the brow
which appears in some Of his portraits.
A few discarded their neckcloihs in
imitation of their great leader. For some
years the Minerva presssent forth no novel
without a mysterious, unhappy, Lara like

and medical students who became things
of dark imaginings, on whom The fresh.
ness of the heart ceased to fill like dew,
whose passions had consumed themselves
like dust, and 10 whom The relief Of tears
was denied, passes all calculation. This
was not the worst. There was created
in the minds of many of these enthusiasts

HOME, THE MEDIUM. AT BADEN
BADEN,

Mr.. Douglas Home. the great Aneri-
can medium is the lion of the season al
Baden. Nobody else is talked about.
nobody else so courted. Whenever he
goes to The gaming table and stakes mon =
ey on a color, there is an avalanche of
nancy on that color; for the crowd think
he can read the future course of chance
and vaiicinate the color which is certain
to win. He has received a fortune in
presents from the Russian and German
mobiles, who have showered on him rings,
breast. t.pins. watch chains, rubies. opals;
the Princess Bubera gave him three
peal shirt buttons, worth 5000, for an
evenings exhibition at her house; the
Prince of Prussia offered him FIVE thou
sand iorins for single evenings display
OF his powers-he refused it.
Mr.. Home is as capricious as woman
in The choice of the. time he appears, and
the company before whom he shows his
powers; and If his humor does not lead
him. no sum Of money can tempt him.
The Duke Of Sutherland offered him,
when he was in England, thousand
dollars TO give one exhibition at Suther-
land House, but Mr. Home refused it.
The othsr day, at Baden, he gave. gra
tui,ously and unsolicited, in the rooms of
young NJ. Dulifus, (brotlier of the at
tsche TO the French Legation at Wash
ing,on, a display Of "supernatural'
gifts. which he had refused to the Prince
Of PrussIt, tho tempted with FIVE thou.

You look sad; you have just heard of
the death of one of your friends. The
rapping spirit will tel you his name. -
They raped the name of NJ. Bazire, a
stock broker. who died suddenly in Paris
the other day.
By The way, this stockbroker was en-
the Place de Ia Cuncorde when Louis
Philippe and Queen Marie Amelia fed
from the Tuileries on foot; the royal fu-
giiives attempted 10 get into hack
which was standing there. but The hack

The woman made signs to the forlorn
men to try and swim ashore, but the sea
ragged to that extent that none dared to
try, until one brave fellow, (Hsckett. the
captain, for the sake of settling m ex-
ample 10 the rest threw himself into the
lake. The daring fellow had almost
reached shore, and though exhausted,
seemed out Of danger, when the under
tow took him away again, and once
again.
We have an insight of Mrs. Becker's
charity. She had caused her children to
light FIRE on the beach to warm those
poor souls who might successfully reach
the shore. She saw with anguish the
fruitless endeayors of the inttepid man
who trusted himself to that foaming
surge. She saw his strength failing.
she saw him drowoing. and her noble
nature sped her to his rescue. This wo
man. this Mrs. Abigail Becker, walked
into the angry waters, till they reached
almost to her neck. The waves often
overcame her strength. but she stretch
ed out her hand and drew the man safe
ly on shore. Thus again and again did
this noble woman imperil her life, till
she saved six of the crew.
Her forethought enabled the men to
be warmed by the fire her children had
kindled on the beach;
She presently entertained them in her
hut, and she, the lowly woman whose
only wealth at the time was her human
ity, who, having saved all those who
were bold enough 10 try 10 swim ashore,
still deserving only one man in the rig
ging. res,lessly paced the beach. ex
claiming, 'Oh. my God. if that man
could only be saved!' Assisted by those
she had already rescued, she happily
succeeded in saving him also-so that
none of that crew were lost!'
This is the story, and these the cir,
cumstsnces, as nearly as 1 can collect
them, which have called forth the mark
ed appreciation of the cities of Buffalo
and Cleveland, and of the Life Saving
Benevolent Association of New York;
and our own Government and Legisla
ture have not been slow in giving Mrs
Becker a solid reward for an act Of hero
ism performed comparatively unObserv
ed, without lockers on The medal ]
am now presenting. coming from a for
eign country, whose people'have no sym
pathies with ours, save in the progress
of civilization and in acts Of kindness and
humanity, must prove to you how wide
ly are felt such merits as MIS-. Becker's,
and also how ready are ,he noble race
we have as neighbors to reward that
merit.

POISON ANTIDOTES.

Every one should be aware of the best
remedies for some of the more common
polsons. so as to be reldy TO act at once
in any emergency. We will name some
of these remedies-only one or two at a
time, that each one may become fixed in
the mind.
Ii is better to administer albunen
{ white of eggs beat up with a little wa
ter. but no delay must be allowed. The
only hope Of cOunteracting this deadly
poison lies in prompt action. Ifeggs are
not en- hand at once, give large and re-
peated dosos of flour mixed with water.
or better, wi b sweet milk. Milk itself
is partial, if not complete antidote for
corrosive subIimate.
Arsenic.-The best antidote for this
poison Is chemical substance called
Hydroted Peroride of Iron: freshly pre-.
pared, which can only be obtained of
druggist. Bu. do not wait for this
While ii is being sent for, and at the first
moment after discovering that arsenic
had beeu taken. pour down dose after
dose of water slightly warmed. promo
ting vomiting by thrustins the finger or
a feather down the throat. Keep up This
until the stomach has been literally wash
ed out, at least dozen times. A friend
of ours took teaspoonful of arsenic in
mistake for cream oftartar, but discover
ing his error soon after, he ran to the
stove and commenced drinking all he
could pour down OF lukewarm dishwater,
which happened TO be there. As fast
as this was thrown up he took another
dose, AMI in this way actually swallowed
and vonited half pail full of water
He recovered without any other remedy.
This treatment is cool for NEST kinds of
poison if it is adopted soon enough
