The Rescue.

Several years ago n ship was burned near
the mouth of the English Channel A.
mong the passengers were a flther, mother
and their little child, a daughter, not many
mouths old When the discovery was
made that the ship was on FIRE, and tho a.
Iarm was given, there was great confusion,
and this family became separated The
iather was rescued and taken back TO Liv
erp"oI, but the mother aud her infant were
crowded overheard, and unuoticcd by those
who were doing all in their power to save
the sufferers still in the ship, they drf,eI
ont OF the channel with the tide, the moth
er cIinging to fragment of the wreck with
her little one clasped to her breast.
Late IN the afternoon Of that day. a YES
sci bound from Newport, Wales, TO Amcri
ca, was moving slowly along in her course
There was only light breeze, and the cap
tam was impa'ienhy walking the deck.
when his attention was called to an obiact
some distance eff which looked like q per
son in the water. The officers ana crew
watched /, for some time, and, as no vessel
was near FROM which any one could have
tnIIcn over board, they thought it imDossi
ble that this could be human being But
as their vessel was scarcely moving. it was
thought best to get out boat and row 10
the object The boat was accordingly low

considerable interest by those who remain
ed on board and they noticed that. as il
drew near to the drifting speck, the row.

utes, then moved forward, took in the OBJ
jcct or thing, they knew not which. and re-.
turned to the ship When the boats crew
came on board they brought with them tbi,
mother aud her child, alive and well and
the sailors said that, as they drew near.
they heard a female voice swecuy singing
rs with a common impulse the men ceased
rowing aud listened, and then the words of
the beautiful hymn, sung by this trusting
Christian, all unconscious that deliverauce
was 20 near came over the waves to their
ears

NEW YEARS DAY-THE EMANCIPATION CELE-
BRATIoN.-New Years day in Charleston passed
of with marked quiet 1t was very generally
made the occasion as usual Of social and family
reunions; hat if we except the turnout of few
OF the colorcd people, there was no outdoor incl
dent worthy Of note.
The procession formed in honor OF tile anniver-
sary OF emancipation was composed OF four color.
cd military companies, followed by q struggling
line made up OF the members OF the Union League
and other colorcd associations. The whole WAS
preceded By band, and was under the chief mar
shalship of Magistrate T. ]. Mackey the only
white man, by the way, in the pageant-who
was supported in the execution Of his arduous
duties by as many ebony assistants on prancing
chargers, rs would have suhiccd to MARSHAL 4
countless host.
After marching through the principal streets,
the procession went to the Military Hall, where
the emancipation proclamation was read 10y R. L.
Artson, colored, and an oration delivered by w.
IL: Mishaw, colored. Speeches were also made by
T. ]. Mackey and F. j. Moses, Jr.
Mayor Pisbury, Collector Clark, and the lead
ing Republicans Of the city, both White and col
ored, were all invited to participate in the cclc-
bration, but they did not respond. Tic Union

TIE LICENSE BILL AGAIN.-The secret ses-
sion of Council on Friday night resulted in o
modification OF the License bill, and special
meeting was called on Saturday night In order
to give the bill Its second and third readings.
Only FIVE OF the Aldermen were In attendance,
and no meeting could be held. We understand
that many OF the obnoxious features OF the bill
have been modified. Brokers are taxed only $50,
and the general tax on the various branches OF
their business has been reduced about onchalf.
The tax on liquor dealers has been lowered, and
that on lawyers and doctors has been increas-
ed to SOS. The bin has been much improved, and
Is generally more equitable in Its provisions,
but will hardly prove acceptable to the majority
OF taxpayers. Alderman Wall, we learn, will
press an amendment prohibiting persons licensed
from making any distinction on account OF race
or color, under heavy penalty.
