A Tale of Horror.
- tss ~ -. Tlne.. l.pu.r, N

IRON the New Orleans Times January 9
One of the most extraordinary Instances
Of human privation on record, and calam-
iiy that has rarely been equalled in the
history Of maritime disaster, has been
brought to light through Mr.. John Saville,
first officer Of the American ship Golden
Hind, who reached this city from Rio de
Janeiro on Tuesday. The wreck of the
ship Golden Hind has already been re-
corded, but the unparalleled suferings of
the portion Of her crew who yet survive
We believe has never vet been made pub
lie In long interview yesterday, Mr..
SaviIle detailed all the fearful particulars.
and We give the frightful story in his own
words.
The American ship Golden Hind, Capt.
Benjamin F. Robbins, left New York on
the 18th Of February, on voyage to San
Francisco. When in the latitude of St.
GATHERINGS we experienced series of
heavy westerly gales, which continued for
nearly month with great violence. On
the 18th of June last, when on the west
SIDE Of Patagonia, and at the Pacific en-
trance to the Straits of Magellan. the pin
tails aud gudgeons Of the rudder gave way,
and il hoated off Three days were con-
sumed in constructing a temporary one of
spare spars. 1t lasted about week, but
IN another heavy gale this was also carried
away, and We drifted at the mercy of the
winds. On the second day after this last
disaster, the Golden Hind struck between
two rocks, one forward and one aft on the
western coast of Patagonia Three boats
were hurredly prepared, the men put on
extra suits of clothes, laid in q small guam
tity Of provisions, and, at o'clock that
evening, lowered away. In the hurry of
departure, nearly all of our nautical instru-
ments were left on board. and. in fact.
many articles absolutely necessary. There
were three boats lowered, the first under
the command of Capt Robbins, the second
commanded by myself, and the third in
charge of Mr.. Webb, the second mate.
Each contained seven men. Mr.. Webb
asserting that he knew the situation better
than we did, parted company almost i'm
mediately, and it being then quite dark,
we lay under the lee of the land until
morning. The sea at the time we left the
ship was breaking over the fore yard, and
during the night she beat to pieces on the
rocks. The next morning the last vestige
of the Golden Hind had disappeared. and
q search, which continued two DAYS, was
made for the other boat, but no trace of
her could be seen. We had long ere this
concluded that she was swamped and her
crew drowned Upon examination it was
found that we had small box and BAG
Of hard bread, the latter soaked with sea
water, about twenty cans of BEEF, little
ties and coffee. An allowance of one bis
cut TO each man, and a can of beef to four
teen, was at first issued, but this speedily
decreased 70 half biscuit, and finally we
did not taste beef more than once week.

days in open boats, with only the subsist-
ance l have named. The captain of the
Ossipee shipped the six seamen, although
all Of them were on the sick list, and took
Capt. Robbins and myself to Rio de ia
metro. There l met Capt Gorham Crowell,
of the bark Colin E. Mcneil, who kindly
volunteered to bring me to New Orleans.

NECESSITY OF SLEEP.-There are thousands Of
busy people who die every year for want of sleep.
Seeplessness becomes disease and precursor
of insanity. We speak Of sleep as the image of
death, and our waking hours as the image of life.
Sleep is not like DEATH for it is the period in
which the waste of the system ceases, or is re-
duced to its minimum. Sleep repairs the waste
which waking hours have made. The night is
the repair shop of the body. Every part Of the
system is silently overhauled, and all the organs,
tissues and substances are silently replenished.
Waking consumes and exhausts; sleep replaces
and repairs. A man who would be good worker
must be good sleeper. A man has not as much
force in him as he has provided for in sleep. The
quality of mental activity depends upon the
quality of sleep. Men need, on an average,
eight hours Of sleep in day. A Emphatic tenn
permanent may require nine, nervous tempera-
ment. six or seven. A Emphatic man is slug
rish. moves and sleeps slowly. But nervous
man acts quickly in everything. de does more
in an hour than a sluggish man in two hours
and so in bis sleep. Every man must sleep ac-
cordiDg to his temperament bot eight hours is
the average. Whoever by work, pleasure, sorrow,
or By any othsr cause, is regularly diminishing
his sleep. Is destroying his life. A man may
hold out for time, but the crash will come aud
he will die. There is great deal of intemperance
besides that Of tobacco. opium, or brandy. Men
are dissipated who overtax their systems all day.
and undersleep every night. A man who dies Of
delirium tremens is no more drunkard and
suicide than the minister, the editor, or the
printer that works exclusively all day and sleeps
but little all night.-Hsnry Ward Beecher.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1873-03-05

SENSATION OF THE DY1YG.-The pain of dying
must be distinguished from the pain of the pre-
vious disease; for when life GIBBS sensibility de-
clines. As death is the final extinction of the
corporal feelings SO numbness increases as death
comes on. The prostration of disease like health
full fatigue, eugenders a growing stupor-a SEN
sation of subslding softly into coveted repose.
The transition resembles what may be seen in
those lofty mountains whose sides exhibit every
climate in regular graduation vegetation ,luxur-
ates at their base, and dwindles in the approach
to the regions of snow till its feeblest manifesta-
ton is repressed by the cold. The so-called
agony can never be more formidable than when
the brain is the last to go, aud when the mind
preserves to the end rational cognizance of the
state Of the body. Yet persons thus situated
commonly attest that there are few things in life
less painful than the close. "If had strength
to hold pen," said William Hunter, would
write how easy and-delightful it is to die" =" If
this be dying" said the niece of Newton of o.
ney, it is a pleasant thing to de-" That very
expression" adds her uncle, (which another
friend of mine made use of on her death-bed
few years ago. The same words have so often
been uttered under similar circumstance, that we
could fill pages with instances which are only va
ried by the name of the speaker.

more shameless, and the father-in-law,
Southwick, sent his daughter and her
child to Europe early in 1871 to remove
her from the scene of the scandal. Stokes,
enraged at Fisk, used his position as sec
rotary to collect $4,000 from Devoe, an
oil merchant, which sum he held openly
and defantly as his share of the profits.
Fisk caused his arrest on a criminal charge.
Stokes turned to his wealthy relatives. No
one of them would bail him, and he was
forced to make terms and submit, and re-
fund the money. His relations to Fisk
were bitter, and out of the intensity of the
evil passions and criminalities of his posi-
ton with Mansfield grew murder. Turn
to Solomon again, and there is no mystery
in the chain of sequences. 1t is said that
the same steamer that took out to Europe
the murder of Fisk by Stokes carried a di-
vorce procured by her family for his wife,
vino still remains abroad.
The story of family grief and reverses is
not all told. The senior Stokes, after thirty
years of retirement and enjoyment of a
luxurious home, is bankrupt and homeless
in his old age. One of his daughters died
two weeks after marriage The second
daughter, the wife of Mr.. Sutton, attached
herself so strongly to the fortunes of her
brother that her husband discarded her,
aud she is in refuge with her aged and
penuiless parents. The second son
young man of great promise, died two
months ago, of grief and shame at the
family reverses, and the whole tale of the
innocent and suffering victims by this
complication of crime and shame is not to
be fully told without including some of
the best known and esteemed of New York
families.-N Y Paper.

The great seal of the State of Virginia was
lost during the capture of Richmond in 1865, and
new one afterwards adopted, bearing in place
of the historic Sic semper tyraunis," the words
Liberty and Union" But short time ago the
old seal was returned, and the question arose as
to which was the legal seal of the State. The
matter was submitted to the Legislature, which
decided in favor of the old seal.

The Golden Age thus goes for the
slanderers Of Horace Greeley:
During the toilsome months of last
year, when we were doing our best to
urge tho claims of Horace Greeley to
the suiragos of his countrymen, we
were constantly told that Mr. Greeley
was a man so unskilled in financial
economy that his election would dis.
turb the moheyed classes. Henry
Clews x Co, Jay Cooke & Co., Fisk
~ Hatch, and other firms made them.
selves conspicuous by discrediting Mr..
Greeley on tho ground that his cleo.
tion would unsettle the money market.
"Undor President Grant," said they,
1--WE shall have prosperity and ease.5
But Grants election has been fol-
lowed by the vory panic which it was
expressly designed to prevent. More
over, tho very firms that trusted to it
for safety are the chief victims to their
ownfalsc prophecy. Furthermore the
conspicuous capitalists who last sum-
mer advocated Grants election-we
mean such men as Horace b. ClaHin,
Henry Clews, William Orlon, and
others-distinguisbed themselves on q
recent Sunday morning by urging
Grant to violate the law OF the land in
order to relieve them from pinch
and pressure which they we're once
sure could como only through the
election Of Grants rival! = a
The campaign SANDERS which these
professed exponents of the business
community uttered against d blame
less man year ago, have now been
brought homo, by sort of avenging
poetic justice, to their own doors, and
find strange commentary in their
own misfortunes.

Wackup's Washing.


Mr.. Wackup, married man OF
Bridgeport, quit work early the other
afternoon, and went home for tho pur-
pose OF spending the evening-or rath-
or half the night-with number Of
his friends. He found his wife lying
on the lounge enjoying sick head
ache, but he couldn't find clean shirt.
Mrs. Wackup said his shirts were
washed but not ironed, and she was too
i'll to do it, and it was the girls after
noon out. A shade of disappointment
clouded his brow, and rushing into
the kitchen, he slammed the door with
such earnestness, and fortunately found
an iron on the range, nice and hot
Then he dived into the basket Of damp
ened clothes, and found one of his
shirts at the bottom, just as he ex-
pected.
He spread it out on the table with,
out first removing the oilcloth cover
and hurriedly consulted his watch
Then he couldn't find the iron-holder,
and substituted his pocket handker-
chief and after burning four of his
fingers and breaking one of the com
mandments, landed the hot iron on
his shirt bosom. He thought the gar
ment had strange look, but supposed
it would assume it's proper shape when
ironed-and he showed the iron up
and down like jack-plane. The la
Dor seemed so easy that he mentally
said he had mind to follow tho bust.
ness for II living. Then he undertook
to turn the shirt, and just because it
adhered to the glazed table cover, he
gave it violent jerk, adding at least
six inches more to tho splitin the back.
Then he noticed for the first time
that he had set the hot iron on the
tail of the garment and scorqhed q
hole in it as large as his band, and in
his haste to remove the smoothing
machine, he neglected to use the
holder, and he dropped the hot fraud
on his choice toe; and when Mrs.
Wackup, who was startled by the in
tensity of his language, entered the
kitchen, holding her head with both
hands, she discovered her husband
hopping about the room on one foot
and elasping the other with both his
hands. The sympathy that Mrs.
Wackup rendered was not of o nature
that her blistered husband yearned for
just at that particular moment. She
placed her arms akimbo and indig.
nantly observed:
"Ain't you ashamodof yourself, you
