A Gallant Struggle for Life.

The ship IT. B. Right, If Searsport,
Me-, recently wrecked on the cost OF
Maine, afforded an instance Of a gallant
struggle for life We learn from the
Portland Ayyus that at the time she
struck, all hands, except the Captain, the
steward and his wife, got hastily into the
boats and pushed off, and it was only at
the earnest entreaty Of the Capsain that
one Of the boats returned and took him
of, but refused to take the other two.
The steward was a very worthy cOlored
man, named Benjamin Stewert, and he
with his wife. were left to perish with
the ship. which was fast going to pieces.
Stewart, begged pitiouslv for them to
save his wife, telling them II they would
only take her on board they could leave
him TO his chances. 1t was Of no avail I;
the boats pulled away out Of sight, leav-
ing Stewart and his wife TO their fate.
But he was not dismayed. He had no
ticed large rock under her counter, and
if the ship held together. perhaps at low
water, they might reach the rock and
climb up the cliff to the land. He ac-
cordingly placed his wife forward and
put a life preserver upon her, but her
fright was SO great she, clinging to HIM
and running after him, endangered her
life at every moment. that he dashed her
forward. He then got piece of plank

and made fast the spanker guy to the
end of the plank He put foot-rope

give or sell the staple to the Indians
But then, as now, the rules regulating the
troublesome commodity were not strictly
observed. Frequently it became neces-
sary to crafty the imperative demand Of
the savages for liquor to prevent serious
consequences. On one occasion, in the
absence of all the male occupants Of the
house, a stalwart red-skin presented
himself at the residence of Moses Byx-
bee, late in the evening, with his keg,
which he demanded to have filled Mrs.

Use never to tell, not to drink on the

opened the store. Imagine her surprise,
after entering the room and striking
light, to find herself surrounded by at
least score of the duslly sons of the
forest. They agreed to remain in the
room while she descended to the cellar
to fill the empty cask. With the utmost

male, entirely unaCcustomed to aught
but the rehnements Of civilization, and
but recently a dweller among the pion-
eers, when finding herself in such a di-
lemma. Mrs. B., however, possessed
great frmness, and was a great favorite
with the Indians. Having obtained
solemn promise from the crowd to leave
quietly as soon as the object of their
search was attained, she filled their keg, |
and so far as she ever heard, the intru-
ders kept their word.
The Indians were also fond Of tobacco. !
For a small amount of the weed they
could be hired to perform almost any

great haters of cheese, and it was only |

The thievish tricks of their savage

BISHOP EDWARD THOMSON.

The New York Independent closes a
generous and liberal estimate of the
character of Bishop Thomson in the
following earnest language:
Nothing but the vicious system of de-
nominational publishing could prevent
his volumes of essays from taking the
rank they deserve with the works Of the
first writers of the age. Many of the
noblest men of the Methodist Church
attribute their first intellectual awaken
ing to his Educational Essays" He
was not uniformly a great popular ora
tor. He was, however, always a great
thinker and a polished writer. A tai
ented and highly educated lawyer, a
Congregationalist, said to the writer of
this article "What a great man Bishop
Thomson is. He preached in our church
a few weeks ago, and his sermon was a
written production-the most perfect,
polished, and truly great discourse l
have ever heard. Yesterday he preach
ed to US again. l expected another in
tellectuaI treat like the former one but
his sermon was a practical one, wholly
eXtemporaneoUs and very remarkable
His appeals brought tears to my eyes
repeatedly. A man who can do two
things so opposite, and do both so well,
must be a very great man His voice
was poor, his figure betIIe, his manner
diffdent; and yet, despite these defects,
he was at times exceedingly eloquent.
A man so great Intellectually, and so
noble and generous in heart,
could not be bigot. Tenaciously hold
ing to Evangelical opinions, his charity
was as broad as the beatitudes, and as
genial as the sunshine. Ibid you ever
hear anything so liberal from a bishops"
exclaimed an eminent college president,
after hearing him preach on THE
Church of Christ" Faithful to his con-
victions, pure to saintliness in his life,
heroic in his devotion, he laid his weary,
worn-out body down to die by the way
side. It will be long before his fragrant
memory will cease to be cherished on
both sides of the ocean.

A correspondent of the Painesville
ZS2eg1abh says of Bishop Thomson
He took his degree from the University
of Pennsylvania, in 1920, and returned
to practice his profession at his home in
Wooster. At this period Of his life he
was scepticaI as to his religious beliefs.
A club of some half dozen of Young
men of similar sentiments with himself,
was formed to read, discuss and refute
the doctrines of the Bible but the Bible
proved too much for them. They were
all convinced of its truth, and bowed be-
fore its authority. The sudden death of
a friend about this time, sent the young
doctor to his closet to mediate and to
pray and here the Friend of Sinners
met him and spoke peace to his troubled
spirit. With his new life came new
vocation. Now he must preach that
Gospel that had saved him. He united
with the M. E. Church, and Twas received
into the Ohio Conference in 1883.
