sufficiently numerous for the young

A San Francisco paper in . review
of the local fisheries relates the fol-
lowing as one Of the occurrences of
last year:
Last season one of the boats was
out on the ocean near Point de Rey,
when in the afternoon q sudden squall
came on and the waves ran so high
that one came aboard and nearly hlied
the boat with water. So much was
she loaded and SO near sinking did
she come. that the three men who
were in her had all they could do to
avoid being swept overheard. The
wind blew hard and chilly and the
poor fellows were nearly frozen. but
they held on to the boat hoping that
suecor would come from some source.
When it was nearly dark one of the
men bade his comrades good bye. and
with eroan of despair sank out of
sight beneath the waves. The other
two held on through that dreary
night, but early in the morning an
other one said to the survivor, Il cam
not hold on: | too, must go" In tel
ling ii the survivor said, Il was laying
on nv breast across the bow and saw
him as he sunk away far down in the
clear. deep waters. He said also that
soon after his last comrade disap-
peared the sun came up, and as the
sea had gone down the warm rays
beating on bis back infused warmth
and life in him so that he was enabled
to cling fast About l O'Clock the
schooner Haskell came along, picked
him up and brought himself aud the
boat into the harbor. A rather singu-
lar part of the story is that after being
at the dock for about one month, the
same boat, with the same man and
two others, went again outside to the
same fishing ground, aud about the
same place where she was picked up
when water-logged. The fishermen
saw schooner bottom side up, with
FIVE or six men clinginr to the keel.
They immediately went to the rescue
and found that it was the Haskell, the
identical schooner that had saved this
boat anH one of the men. She had
been herself capsized in a squall. Her
crew were saved by the very boat that
had been saved by her.

looked into her face and felt that be

From the Pen and Piow.
JOHN SMITH.

"John Anderson, my Jo John, We were my
first acqgaint,"
But as for being the only John. 1 tell you,
sir, you amt,
There's that precious little John1who sat
forever in corner,
Whose mother was a mystery, whose faith
was Horner.
And there's the John that built the house
to hold the famous sack.
And that hero of our childish days, the
giant-killer Jack.
A nd the old John Lakeland, he who sign ed
the blessed Magma Gharta-
And Jack, who seeing Jill fall down, de-
scensus, followed arter.
And good Prince John. the gentle one, and
the stern, uniiinching Knox,
John Doe whose fights with nythic Dick
fill England's jury box.
And he that in poetic mood lone Miltonl
- did attain,
Great tame for losing Paradise and getting
1t again!
But of all the Johns since days of Noah, the
world has ever known,
For infinite variety John Smith must stand
alone.
For he is tall, and he is short, and he is
black, and white,
And he is now the first to run, and now the
first to fight.
And he's a learned sage, and simple rus
tic clown,
And you may find him any day in any
street in town
His wives are legion, and his creeds so nu-
merous have become,
You'll find his name in every church, as
one to lean upon.
For heresies they also say his match was
never known,
And Mrs. Smith, in simple fate, says she's
the only one.
Yet all these contradictions, as dark as they
appear,
Should you know this hydra man,
would be daylight clear. NJ. ID. T.

the Custom House yesterday after

able in this country The necklace is
composed of four strands of diamonds,
each OF which is brilliant. Not one
of them is worth less than 81 600
The chain is studded with gems, and
they are set go closely together as to
hide the gold There are so many of
them that Deputy Collector Lyoecker
tired in the count. He counted $50,
which is only about half the number.
The strands are joined by ten immense
clenes, each OF which is encir
stod by smaller gems. The one In

stones equally as large as. the rest
The entire set is appraised at from
$500 600 to $500. 600.
The case for the jewels is plain mo-
rocco. without inscription. As soon
as the Secretary of the Treasury orders
a free permit for them under the spe-
cial act of Congress. they are TO DE
delivered to the Turkish minister. and
by him presented to the fair bride on
behalf Of the Egyptian potentate.-

In speaking of a person s faults,
Pray don't forget your own:
Remember these with homes of glass
Should seldom throw "a stone.

Than talk of those who sin
'Tis better we commence at home,
And from that point begin
Wehave no right to judge a man
Until he's fairly tried:
Should We notlike his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults; and who has nots
The old as well as young;
Perhaps We may, for aught we know,
Have fftv TO their one.
I'll tell you of q better plan,
And ind ii works full we'll
To try my own defects to cure
Ere others faults l tell.
And though / sometimes hope 10 be
No worse than some 1 know.
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of Others go.
Then let us all, when we begin
To slander friend or foe.

To those we little know.

Our chickens, s'rooxt al homer
Don't speak of others faults until
