drew my attention to the rapid approach
of our dread enemy. This time he
seemed determined not to be balked, but
came straight on for us. Again l threw
myself on my back, and kicked and
splashed with all my strength, which had
again the effect of alarming him, for he
went right under us, and again disap-
peared. Uttering short but fervent
ejaculation of thsnklulness, again
turned my attention to the boats, and be-
held with feelings no pen can express,
that at last we had been made out, and
that one of the cutters was fast pulling
towards US. But even as she came
our peril increased, for the shark
was Joined by another, and both kept
cruising, but few yards off, in a circle
round us. My strength was rapidly leav-
ing me, and / knew did / once cease
splashing, all would be over with us. My
companion was perfectly powerless.
Still continued to kick and splash
still the voracious monsters continued
their circular track, sometimes diving
and going under us, to reappear on the
other side; but the cutter was fast coming
up, and the men, suspecting what was
the matter, gave way with all their hearts
and souls.
As she neared US, the bowmen laid
their oars in, and began to beat the water
with their boat hooks. This was the last
/ saw. Nature must have given out, for,
when l opened my eyes again, l was safe
in my hammock on board the brig. A
good nights rest restored me to myself |;
but though l have seen many shark
since, / can never look ON one without
feeling my flesh creep, as it were, on my
bones. tll4

These men fought their fight and ended.
Their anger ceased with the echo of the
last guns fred in anger. From this
Grand Army Of the Republic now parad-
ing through political conventions in the
West, commanded by the captains Of the
caucus, the lobby, and the bar room, we
appeal to the Grand Army of the
Republic which carried our banners over
a hundred fields under the eye of Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan. We denounce
this new secret association as ont of sym
pathy with the true Republican party,
and as inimical to the Constitution and
the Union. 1t will be sad day for our
party when soldiers find no better work
than to prowl over the battlefields Of the
past and dig up the bodies of the slain.
The country wants peace and rest and
harmony and justice. These men want
distracted country that Offices may be
gained. They would make America a
Mexico peace would be sent to sleep
with Turks and inf8els, and instsead Of
Union, they would the wofulest division

heart of Hilderbrand, and he doubtless
registered VOW to avenge what he re-
garded as the cold blooded murder of his
relatives.
At the close of the war he went to
Texas, and returned to San Francois
county year ago in poor circumstances.
Ee gave out that he wanted to settle up
bis mothers estate, from which he ex.
pected some $500 or $400. Poverty drove
him to engage in hard work. He chop
ped cord-wood for time at Rush Tower
bend, some thirty miles below st. Louis
One day he went to DeSoto, and friend
who was with him asked Colonel Bill
Fletcher if he would like to see Hilder-
brand. The colonel replied that he
would shoot him at sight. HiMerbrsnd
then tapped Fletcher on the shoulder,
and said he was the man. Fletcher, it is
said, forgot his brave words, aud prom
ised to let Hilderbrand alone, if the latter
would do the same by him.
The following incident is related
Since the war Hilderbrand was shot
through the leg by Jack Smith, and his
wounds were dressed by a woman who
aflerward married man who squsn.
dered all her means. He then left his
wife and lived with her negro servant in
Arkansas. Hilderbrand, stung with re-
sentiment at the way in which the woman
who attended him while sick was treated,
went with few men, and, tying the man
and negress together, flung them into the
river. For this act Hilderbrand was
sentenced to be hung. Before the time
of execution, two hundred men, clothed
in Federal uniform, went to the jailsr
and demanded that the prisoner be
given to them. The jailer supposed the
object was to lynch him, instead of
which they put him on q horse and he
made his escape. Hilderbrand is de-
scribed as of tall, slender form, sharp
features, gray eyes, and red hair. He
has feminine voice, steps as lightly as
an Indian, and can clear seven-rail
fence with the agility Of deer. Like
SCOTS Rob Roy McGregor, he possesses
boldness, sagacity, and prudence, quail
ties highly necessary in war, which be-
come vices when nisdirected. His
father was farmer in rather bad repute,
and his mother died of grief after the
massacre of her family.

ST. PAUL.--The following is Remains
description of the personal appearance
Of St. Paul: "Paul had a sickly APP
pearance, which did not, as it appears,
correspond with the greatness of his
soul. lie was ugly, short, thick-set and
STOPPING, and his broad shoulders awk-
ardly sustained little bald head. His
salow coun:cnancc was half hidden in a
thick beard his nose was aquiline, and
his eyes piercing, and his black anC
heavy eye brows met across his forehead
Norwas there anything imposing IN hi:
speech; his timid and embarrassed all
and his incorrect language at first gave
but poor idea Of his elOquence. He
shrewdly however, gloriied in his ex-
terror defect, and even drew advantages
thcrcfrom.

RICH FOR A MOMENT.

The British ship Britannia was wreck
edoff the coast Of Brazil, and had on board
a large consignment Of Spanish dollars.
In the hope of saving some of them, a
number Of barrels were brought on deck,
but the vessel went to pieces SO fast that
The only hope for life was in taking at
once to the boats. The last boat was about
to push off, when a young midshipman
went lack to see if any one was still on
board. To his surprise there was man
on deck, with Ratchet in his hand, with
which lie had broken open several ofth
casks, the contents of which he was now
hca ping up about him.
"Fhat are you doing there ?" shouted
the youth. Don't you know the ship is
fast going to pieces ~
"Tho ship may go" said the man; ~
have lived a poor wretch all my life, and
an let rmincd to die rich
His rcmonstranccs were answered on
" By another flourish of the hatchet and
he was left TO his fate.
We should count such q person a mad
man, but he has too many imi;ators. Men
seem determined to die gica, At all haz-
ards. Least Of all risks do they count the
chance of losing the soul in the struggle,
at any moment at all. And yet the only
riches we can hug to our bosom with joy,
in our dying hour, arc the riches OF grace
through Jesus Christ, which We must
make ours before the dark hour comes.
Oh how rich have many died in their
garrcts and huts, while kings and princes
have entered on the other life more des-
titute than bcggars. Who would not
rather choose TO be rich for eternity, than
rich for the Aeeting moment in which the
ship is sinking into the dark waters

A guilty conscience is like a whirl-

It is ordained in the eternal constitu-

To preserve equality of temper, when

degree of forttule and passive courage
as few individuals possess.

EMIGRATION FROM ENGiAND.-Emi-
grafton was the subject of an animated
discussion at the Social Science Con-
gross, recently held at Bristol, England.
1t was suggested that $4,000 should
be appropriated by tho government, and
that like sum should be raised by the
over peopIed districts. The income of
this fund, it is asserted, would enable
$1,000 families to emigratc every year.
In this way, it was contcnded, the bal
ance between labor and employment
would in few years be restored The
question was also discussed, whether the
emigrants should be sent to tho British
colonies or to the United States, many
Of the speakers coutcnding that the col
onics would consider the new settlers as
a burden, while the United States could
furnish sufficient employment to and be
happy to receive the cmigrantS. 1t was
decided that no aid should be granted to
single men desiring to cmigrate, but
only to entire families.
