GALLANT SEAMANsHIP.-From details
now at hand it appears that the recent
achievement of the United States squad
ron at Marseilies was one of the most
splendid victories of peace, it having
saved from destruction, by the discipline,
skill and intrepidity of the officers and
men, a thousand merchant ships and the
city of Marseilles on the night of the
fire. The squadron, consisting of the
Wabash, Congress, Brooklyn, Plymouth,
Shenandoah, Juniata and Wachusett,
under the command of Admiral Alden,
lay in the large Napoleon Basin, amid
innumerable merchantmen of every de-
scription and from every nation. Short
ly after midnight a fire broke out on an
Italian ship just arrived from Philadel-
phia with a cargo of petroleum. The
nature of the danger soon became evi-
dent, and it seemed impossible to pre-
vent the spreading OF the fire from ship
to ship. Presently well-manned boat
came from the part of the Basin illumin-
ated by the blaze and pulled directly
toward the burning ship. This was soon
followed by another, then third, ten,
twenty, all the boats of the American
squadron. Presently the burning ship
began to settle. She had been scuttled,
and her cargo was now under water, the
deck being level with the surface. The
danger from the escape of burning petro-
leum was still imminent when a line of
boats, lashed together stem and stern,
were seen pulling away, and as the file
Strengthened out the burning ship moved
also, and was slowly towed out to the
bay by over two hundred well-manned
oars. 1t was only then that an immense
cheer broke from the thousands of peo-
pie who felt inexpressible gratitude for
the salvation of the city.

taken off by the next. and by the time
he got to the fourth, he was divested of
everything under heavens which made
him. sizable. and stood there shivering
in the wind, miserable, deformed, weak
shaky, diminutive, shrunken man, with
nothing under Heaven remarkable about
him but his white hat, and the fact that
he had one boot and one shoe on.
Tweed and his friends saw this shrink
ing process going on as he approached
them, and they became alarmed.
Good Lord I' said Okey Hall, "if
he amt any bigger and more muscular
than he looks now we can't make any
use of him. He'll never be strong
enough to pull us out of this !''
Them on the bluff which had regard
ed his departure with such looks of sad
ness, bust out into peels of laughter.
'There amt hundredth part as
much of him as we supposed" shouted
they" "We've nothing to fear from
him % and they laughed vociferously at
the ridiculous figure he was making
of himself.
All this time Horace was a standing
on the one term round of the ladder,
which was the thinnest of all of them.
Come down to US ~ shouted Tweed.
81 can't go any further down than
this!'' replied Horace, shuddering as he
saw the plight he was in.''
Whereupon Tweed and Hall and the
others run up the ladder to support him.
They was dripping with the nastiness
from the slum below, which fairly COW
cred the poor old man as they rubbed
against him. Then they threw upon
him Tammany banner and Con.
federate flag. To keep him steady both
of them run up the ladder and got on
the same round. Sam Sinclair, John
Cochran and some others come down
close behind him to assist, and the unit
ed weight was too much. The ladder
broke in two and Tweed, Hoffman, Gree
ley, Sinclair, Iriboone and all plunged
into the quagmire. There was splash,
a gurgle or two and the entire billing of
them sank out of sight.
The splash awoke me, and 1 meditat-
ed a half hour over singular dream
before taking another drink and going
home. ''Can it be-" thought I, 'that

THE GREAT FIRE IN JAPAN.-A cor
respondent writing to the New York
Tribune from Yeddo, estimates the loss
by the terrible fire in that city at ST.
100000. Eight persons were killed
outright, and fifty wounded. In the
list of houses burned are IL large gov
ernment offices, 60 temples, 2S7 small
public offices, 1852 private dwellings,
shops, etc. With all its frequent devas-
tations by fire, plaques and earthquakes,
but two greater public calamities have
occurred in Yeddo since the time Of its
foundation. Within less than three
hours district of two square miles was
laid waste, 5000 edifces were destroyed,
and 10000 people were turned homeless
into the streets.

German jurists are discussing the in
teresting question of stage kissing, its
limits and liabilities. Mademoiselle
Gindele, an actress of some note, raised
a terrible breeze in the Imperial Opera
House of Vienna, because an actor, Herr
Neumann, literally complied with the
words of play where ''Irmentraut,"
character represented by her, COM
mands Count Liebenau," a character
represented by him, to kiss first her
right hand, then her left, and then her
Inns She thnnoht that he shnnld- have
mand, declared herself insulted, and
complained to the manager. Next time
that play was on, she allowed him to
kiss her hands, and then said: ''There,
[ will not trouble you for the kiss on
the lips" Herr Neumann ungallantly
replied: Thank Heaven that L have
not to kiss that fright % The actress
thereupon became so enraged and excited
that she was carried off in fainting
fit. The next thing talked of is law
suit. If all this had happened in an
American theatre, there would be ground
for strong suspicion that it was ga put
up job" to advertise the play and at
tract large audience. But from all
accounts, the fair German actress seems
to be genuinely indignant and thorough
ly in earnest on the delicate subject.

The success of almost every enterprise
depends upon the degree to which those
engaged in it tax their powers of mind.
Many things deemed impossible by the
rest of the world have been effected by
those who have brought the full force of
their mind to bear upon what they set
themselves to accomplish. Whatever
may be said of the difference in talent of
individuals, and inquire into the cause
of their success. we shall find genius out
stripped by moderate talent when the
latter brings its full power of mind to
work. Whether in the school-room, or
in every day business of life, in the
humble walk of bodily toll, or the pro-
fessional avocation, when the mind Is
most depended on in invention or exc
cution, in theory or in practice, the
question on which success depends is
not who has the strongest power of
mind, but who brings that power into use.

dence had he in his steed, that he laugh
ed in derision at what he considered
their vain efforts to oyertake him. But
in leaping fence the animal fell, and
when he arose it was with difficulty. It
soon became evident that the poor beast
had broken one of his fore legs, and was
unable to proceed any further with his
burden.
Hadiker turned pale. There was a
good two miles between him and the
mountain yet, and his pursuers well
mounted, were, coming rapidly onward.
He clutched his prize and ran. Putting
forth all his strength he reached the
mountains base (; but the avengers were
almost within rife. shot of him and had
seen him. Their shouts rang out.
Onward and upward the villain sped,
depending upon his knowledge of the
ground for escape. But there were those
on his track who knew the pathway just
as well as he. Weaiily he toiled on,
and at length gained the summit of Was
acht He started for a rocky cavern !;
but suddenly he found himself confront
ed by half a dozen armed men, and as
many rifles were leveled at his heart
He turned to the right, but his way was
blocked by relentless foes-to the left,
and here it was the same. He darted
back, and now stood on the very verge of
frightful gulf, where far down below
him were ragged rocks ready to impale
the wretch should he fall or spring from
that point. On all other sides he was
surrounded by armed men, and they
were closing in upon him. Seeing his
desperate situation, he raised the girl
over his head and exclaimed:
''Men, | am cornered, but ! will not
surrender. Withdraw from here, and
will let the girl follow you Advance
another step, and | will hurl her over
the precipice, and spring after her even
to death. What say you?'
There was brief consultation held
among the avengers, and then one of
them said: Hardiker, years ago, lust
before you murdered your wife, you
thought your daughter was drowned
Such was not the case-.it was the
daughter of John Thornton who thus
perished. This, your wife thought was
a good opportunity to save her own in
fant from your brutality; and so she
own, and you were deceived. You will
not harm that girl, for she is your own
daughter. -
Hardiker uttered wild cry at this
announcement, and the girl fell from
his grasp A shudder passed over the
lookers-on for she had disappeared over
that dreadful precipice. For an instant
the renegade seemed confused. Then
he glanced downward, and with a wild
yell, sprang. The avengers rushed tc
the spot Far below. upon the ragged
rocks, lay his mangled form.
But the girl. All! Providence had
aided her. for but few feet down they
saw her clinging to the underground Of
shrubbery, and she was saved. In hel
fright she had not noticed or heard th'
announcement that she was the daugh
ter of the renegade. She was kept il
ignorance of that fact, and sincerely
mourns the death of her supposed father
