WONDERFUL ESCAPE. Capt. Ranlett

A WONDERFUL ESCAPE. Capt. Ranlett
of ship Surprise, of New York, which left that
port for Shanghai Oct. 9th, writes home sto-
ry OF escape from apparent certain death at
sea, scarcely less strange than the boldest OF
Capt. Maryatts or Charles Reade's inven-
tions. He says:

est idea that we could save him, not only for
the reason that the night was very dark and

However, called all hands, shortened sail.
wore ship round on the port tack, and stood
on for about fifteen minutes, when some of
the men forward thought they heard cry.
Shortly wore ship again on to the starboard
tack, as we were when he went overheard.
and, as the ship came up to the wind, we ali
heard him crying out on our weather bows.
Coming on, with everything aback, brought
him right under the weather quarter, when he
was hauled in with bowline thrown over
him, apparently unfnjured.
He was naked, having undressed himself
oil clothes and seaboo' s, &C., in the water-no
small teat OF itse.f Tor boy less than foar-
teen, and small of his age. His lett arm was
badly injured, but he had not fel. it in the
water.

escapes from drowning ever heard OF, not
only that the youngster should keep himself
up tor forty-five minutes, but that we should
find him in such a dark night

The Montezuma, Iowa Republican tells
the following story: "Sandy Mitchell is a
very respectable and Industrious colored citi.
zen OF this county-a tiller of the soil. A few
evenings since Sandy gave out bids for an old
fashioned plantation heel-twistips and tea
party at his house, inviting only persons of his
own color. The fashionable hour arrived,
bringing in all the invited guests, and also
two or three white men from town. The
music sounded and the DANCE opened out in
lively and energetic manner, nobody stopping
for rest Until supper was announced. There
was sudden grand rush for the table, the
white lads by 10 means hindermost in the
crowd; but Sandy checked them. Gentle
men," he said, "When white men give party
none OF my race attend, except by invitation.
II one OF them does happen to be fed at a
white gathering, it is at a second table. We
do not complain OF this. You are not invited
guests, but you will be welcomed to supper;
only gentlemen, feel it my duty to say that it
will be fashionable Tor you to eat at the sec

the purpose of a parasol and screen. The
rod is not, as in ordinary parasols, inserted in
the middle of the circle which forms the shade
but near the circumference, so as to give the
person carrying it the whole benefit of the
shadow it casts. Touch spring, and the lit
