Robinson CRUsoE OUTDoNE.--The
Paris correspondent Of the New Orleans
Picayatae tells one of the most remarka-
BILE stories Of personal adventure everset
afoat with pretence of authenticity
In August, 1853, the French ship AIDE
lima Eliza sailed from Bordeaux for
Hong Kong. A month later she was
spoken off the Cape of Good Hope
She was never heard from again until a
few days ago. In the Indian Ocean a
typhoon dismasted her, broke her rudder,
and threw her out of her course. After
drifting wildly for thirty days, she struck
on coral reef and went to pieces. The
The crew left the wreck, in boats, on a
moonless and starfess night, and rowed
they knew not whittier. When day broke,
they found harbor surrounded by a
beautiful landscape. They Immediately
dropped asleep. When they awoke they
found themselves bound hand and foot
and surrounded by eannibals. The Cap
tain and ten of the crew were slain and
eaten three Others escaped, though fear
fully mutilated. In a remote part of
the island they found canoe and at
once embarked on the unknown sea-
They found themselves in an archipela-
go, and passed by short voyages from one
island to another. After time two of
them died; and the survivor, George
Samazon, who had had one arm cut off
and one eye torn out, pushed on in the
apparently hopeless search fer civiliza-
ton. He lived on shell-fsh and roots,
and had only the frail canoe with which
they had started. When he reached
what he supposed to be the last island of
the group, and had nothing but the wide
ocean before him, he set to work to build
a raft. This occupied him a year.
When it was launched the waves imme-
diately threw it back upon the shore, and
he found it immpossible to put to sea
with it. He then turned his steps inland
and set out to explore the supposed island.
He climbed mountain, crossed desert,
fell among and escaped from savages.
travelled through forests, had his feet bit
ten by venomous insects and his face
scabbed by mosquitoes, and at last found
white men and learned that he had lust
crossed the continent of South America
on foot, the pleasant little walk occupv-
ing him three years. A Portuguese ship
took him to his friends in Europe, who
had given him up for dead.

The FOURTH IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
AT Columbia, S. c., last Fourth of
July ninety-nine hundredths of those
who found stomach to celebrate hide
pendence Day were blacks. Except a
few leaders of the Republican party, the
white men would have nothing to do
with the festivities, stayed at home, liq-
uored" beneath their own roof-trees, and
played ugly Gas the phrase isl in a
most isolated and exclusive way. But
then the colored Secretary of State, the
colored Postmaster, and divers other col
ored folks Of private station, together
with few colorless citizens, had good
time, with the usual speeches and process
sions. Singular to relate, the day went
by without the shooting or stabbing of
anybody, all liquors being excluded
from the grove where the orations were
delivered, and when the sun went down
the fact remained that the Fourth o. Ju-
1y in Columbia, S. c., was indebted to
the despised negroes for its principal rec
ognition.

A FRONTIER RoMANcE.--The ST.
Paul MINNESOTA Press relates that some
months since gentleman who resides in
the frontier town of Little Fall, wrote to
a banker in St. Paul for a competent fe-
male teacher for school at Little Falls,
stating also that the boys were somewhat
unruly, and that school marm' who
could lick the unruly would be accepta-
BILE. The banker, other means failing,
advertised for teacher, when nearly q
score of applicants presented themselves
for the situation. Many of them We're
girls of from fifteen to eighteen years of
age, who, after brief inspection, were
rejected. At last tall, determined
looking young lady, with rather sharp
features, presented herself for inspection.
She seemed to come nearer than any 9th
er applicant to filling the bill. She was
told that the salary would be S25 per
month and board. She thought that sat
isfactory, and was willing to accept. The
banker then produced the letter Of his
correspondent, and handed it to her to
read. She scanned it through very care
fully, and looking up with smile, OBJ
served that she thought she " could lick
the boys satisfactorily" and would like
very much to 60. The banker loosely
remarked that there was greater induce
ment than the S25 per month-women
were scarce on the frontier, and in few
months she would doubtless get married.
The lady was incredulous, but accepted
and went on her way rejoicing. That
was three months ago. On the 10th OF
June she was married to gentleman Of
Fort Ripley, and another teacher is want
ed at Little Falls.

The VIRGINIA ELECTION the
announcement of the result of the late
election in Virginia some of the more
:. imprudent" Of the rebel portion of the
coalition and successful party in Rich
mond, hung out their old rebel flags. 1t
is no doubt true that some of those who
voted the successful ticket are republic
cans and intend to stand by their faith,
but they will have bad company to man
age. Even their newly elected governor
still talks republican since the election.
At Norfolk the other day he made a
speech, and standing between the colors
of Virginia and the stars and stripes, one
held by white man and the other by a
black, he said 1--WE must remember
that we have succeeded on the platform of
a1niversal suffrage end equal rights, and
we must see that those who opposed US
as well as those who supported us have
all their rights. and are protected fully
by the law. They must be educated,
and taught the value of the great boon
of franchise that has been conferred up
ON them, and the true value of being a
citizen. We must not forget that the OPP

given us through the liberality of Pres
ident Grant, and we must see that its
fruits are for the benefit of all"

Seward in the Rocky Mountains.


A Chicago paper prints the following
extract from private letter from men,
Der of ex-senator Stewards party to the
Rocky mountains, dated Idaho, in the
Mountains, June u.s."
We are having a most glorious pill
grimage. Governor Seward is every
where received with marks of affection
ate regard, and our journey thus far has
been most gratifying to nina perfect
ovation.
All our party are in perfect ecstacies
with everybody and everything. Up in
this rough country we meet none but
gentlemen, though sometimes in rough
outer coating. Here is one. At hotel,
a rough, honest fellow, who apparently
seemed to be introduced, waited until the
crowd was over, when he presented him
self to Mr.. Seward thus
Is this w. II. Seward p
Yes what do you want ?"
Il come to introduce myself and see
you, have read about w. H. Seward.
You are not so good looking as l thought
you was. Mr.. Seward, l have been adj
mitted into the Union three times, com.
mencing with Iowa, and now | want to
come in again with Wymong. Good
evening, Mr.. Seward. Although am a
little better looking than you are, am
very glad to see you"
am very much pleased with things as
| find them here. The eating is splendid
excellent bread and butter, and every.
thing clean, while the people are most
obliging.
Yesterday, coming down the ladies
wanted drink of water. The coach
stopped and went to a deep we'll and
drew up bucket of the clearest and
coolest beverage Imaginable.
"Stranger, you mustn't drink that
water"
Mustn't drink it Why?
"Cause that's alkali."
Upon this, l thought l would taste it
o see what alkali was like.
Well, stranger, you may drink il
and be damed but l tell you it'll &C
through you like the Ten Commandments
through Sunday school"
We didn't drink at that well.

GALLANT ACT OF PRESIDENT GRANTS
SoN.-At Laurel, Nd, on Thursday last,
while tie sons of DIR. Sharpe, brother-in-
law of General Grant, Marshal of the
District of Columbia, were bathing in
the Pawtuxent River, near that place,
in company with their young comrade,
Masters Grant and Dent, who were on
visit to the family of Marshal Sharpe.
quite serious accident happened. Dent
Sharpe, a young lad of eleven years of
age, was noticed struggling in the water
and heard calling out that he was drown
ing. His father heard his cries, and has
tily commenced to disrobe in order to
jump in and save his son but ere he
could get to the scene, Fred Grant, who
had just come from West Point, gallant
ly jumped into the river and grasped the
hair of the unfortunate boy, who was

We regret to see the Windsor Journal
out last week in favor Of the contin
