A Terrible Story.

Mr.. WEBSTER, Broughty Ferry, near
Dundee, has received a letter from his
son, who was second mate of the CLYDE
ship Arracan, burned at sea on her voy.
age from Shields to Bombay with Goals.
The Arracan left Shields on the nth of
September last. On the 18th of February
her cargo ignited. On the Goth she was
on fire from stem to stern and the crew
were compelled to abandon her. They
left in three boats. The first, under the
command of the Captain, was picked up
by the City of Poonah, and the men were
landed at Alden; the gig, commanded by
the chief officer, made the land at Cochin;
but the pinnace, under the charge of the
second mate, Mr.. Webster, provisioned
for only seventeen days, drifted about in
the Indian Ocean for thirty-thr days
until fallen in with by the City of Man
chester and landed at Calcutta. When
picked up the poor fellows were 900
miles from the nearest land and were in
sad condition. Mr.. Webster, in his state
ment, says:
"1n addition to myself there were three
men and boy on board on the 10th of
March. The men cast lots as to who
should be killed, and the lot fell upon
the boy. I would not allow them to kill
him, and threatened to shoot the first man
who should lay hand upon him. Things
went on in this way for two days, when
one of the men tried to sink the boat, and
saidhe would have the boys life in twelve
hours. presented my gun at him, and
had no sooner done so than a bird flew
over the boat. I fired and killed it. 1t
was instantly secured and devoured-
feathers, bones and all. We subsisted
after this on barnacles, which adhered to
the sides and bottom Of the boat, and on
sea blubber, which was ravenously laid
hold of as it foated past. Delirious
with hunger, one of the men, named
Layford, asked to be killed. An
other, named Davies, struck him on
the head with Delaying pin. The blood
was caught in a tin and eagerly drank be-
tween the two. threw the tin overheard.
The same day these two men fought and
bit one another, then shook hands and
laughed and kissed each other like mad
men. At tlast" (says MI. Webster) 1--WE were,
through the mercy of God, picked up by
Captain Hardin, of the City of Manches-
ter, by whom we were very kindly treated,
and brought to Calcutta"
The surgeon of the steamer which res
cued the men says they were in wretched
condition. They could not stand on their
feet, their eyes started from their sockets,
and they were perfect skeletons. Alto
gether they presented the most painful
sight he ever beheld. The most cautious
treatment had to be employed in bring
ing about their recovery.-M0nchester

In Peru were hauling logs on sleds on the

places on the mountain road on the 9th,

AQUEER MIsTAKE.-The Oswego Times
says: "A prominent 'moneyed man. in
this city who had invested quite largely
in the bonds of neighboring g town cut
off the April coupons Of his bonds of a
certain denomination and placed them
with bank in this city. The bank, of
course, sent them to New York for pay
ment. In few days the bank officers
were surprised by the return of the cou-
pons with word that they would be paid
when DUE On examining them it was
found that they were payable in 1887.
The same mistake, Of course, occurs in
all the bonds Of that denomination of

by the use of wrong figures, and that is
how certain rich man must hold on

A Cure for Hydrophobia.

The Salut Public, of Lyons, says DR..
Buisson claims to have discovered
for this terrible disease, and to
have applied 1t with complete success in
many cases. In attending a female pa
tient in the last stage of canine madness
the doctor imprudently wiped his hands
with a handkerchief impregnated with
her saliva. There happened to be a slight
abrasion on the index finger of the left
hand, and, confident in his own curative
system, the doctor merely washed the
part with water. He was fully aware,
however, of the imprudence he had CON-
mitted, and gives the following account
of the matter afterward: Believing that
the malady would not declare itself until
the fortieth day, and having various pa
tients to visit, I put off from day to day
the application Of my remedy-that is to
say, vapor baths. The ninth day, being
in my cabinet, felt all at once q pain in
my eyes. My body felt so light that I
felt as if could jump to pr0digious
height, or if thrown out of window l
could sustain myself in the air. My hair
was so sensitive that I appeared to be
able to count each separately without
looking at it. Saliva kept continually
forming in my mouth. Any movement
of sir caused great pain to me, and was
obliged to avoid the sight of brilliant OBJ
jects I had continual desire to run
and bite not human beings, but animals
and all that was near me. 1 drank
with difficulty, and l remarked
that the sight of water distressed me more
than the pain in my throat. / believe
that by shutting the eyes anyone suffering
from hydrophobia Can always drink. The
fits came on every five minutes, and l
then felt the pain start from the index
finger and run up the nerves to the
shoulder. In this state, thinking that my
course was preservative, not curative,
took vapor bath, not with the intention
of cure, but of sufocating myself. When
the bathwas at the heat of 52. centrigrade

appeared as if by magic, and since then l
have never felt anything more of them. l

bitten by mad animals, and have not lost

minutes. When the disease is declared
it only requires one vapor bath, rapidly

You made the meadows bright,
And many sunsot-eet tinted dream

Still JOY to see the crocus burst
Like Lazarus from the tomb.
I thrill to see the buds again

Where every branch Is eloquent
OF glories yet to be;
Where soon the winged Argonauts,
From lands beyond the main,
Will sing their merry love-eongs,
And build their homes again.

Regularity.

VERY few persons understand how
greatly health and happiness in this world
depend upon the regularity of daily
habits-the cons tant recurrence of those
events which we are apt to refer to as tire
some and monotonous. During the early
and later periods of life this seven tenor"
is essential to our well-being; and though
we may feel like kicking the traces when
at the summit of power and activity, and
sometimes fly off at tangents, or get rid of
our superfuous energies in odd and eccen-
trio ways, yet we usually come back, or
at least try to come back, to our moorings,
and gladly accept the treadmill path of
daily duty, which, if it brings no ecstatic
pleasure, leaves no remorse.
To infancy, absolute regularity in habits
Of food, sleep, clothing and cleanliness
cure many ills and lay the foundation of
useful and honored life. This is the
task of the intelligent mother, and to no
gated. Feed q child with healthful food,
actly recurring intervals; put it to sleep
with faithful minuteness in regard to
time; have its clothes uniformly protective
haustive from warmth; give it fresh air,

careless use sometimes of warm, some.
times of cold water, or, again, the omis-
sion of the bath altogether. The food
must be prepared in the same way, with
the same nicely of proportion, or evil re-
suits will, as they do, most surely follow.
Only faithful intelligence can work itself
out by such exact processes, though we all
enjoy more than we think, being subjected
to them.
Everyone can understand how disagree
able it would be not to be able to make
sure of ones dinner; to be deprived of
bed and sleep; to lose the enjoyment of
abundance of good water, daily bath
and daily paper; but upon the recur-
smaller n.int,tio do we depend for our
daily comfort! We like certain kinds of
bread at every meal, we want meat always
cooked in certain favorite ways, and We
expect to find it so as naturally as we ex-
pect the sun to shine. We get used to
seeing certain things in certain places,
and we would not miss them upon any
account A tree, a bush, picture or a
chair which occupies the same place for
years acquires . value to our conscious.
ness which only the habit of seeing it can
give it. The world seems very large in
growth and full of many and varied in
terests, but it contracts as we grow older
and the objects of value to us narrow
themselves down to those which we know
to be real and which form our lives. Nat
urally, as these grow fewer in number
they grow dearer, and the more we dis
like to miss them from sight and sense.
No lives are so happy as those that are so
we'll ordered that there is little to resign,
and to which, therefore, every year brings
added interest and added enjoyment In
the regular discharge Of individual and
social duty.-N: ?. Graphic
