of Bafin's Bay, it's natural position
would be the very place assigned to it
by the officers of the Cimbria. All the
bergs which menace navigators by ocean
steamers are generally found off
the banks of Newfoundland, be-
tween the meridans of As
and SO deg. west of Greenwich, and
they are encountered as low down as
the thirty eight parallel of latitude.
The unexpected discovery of such a
vast extent of ice and such dangerous
bergs on the track of the steamers has
given rise to much excitement. But
few of the dangers to which ocean
steamers are exposed are ever made
public. It is reported that on the last
trip of the Baltic, of the White Star
Line, that vessel passed through an
ordeal similar to that of the Cimbria,
and that the panic among the steerage
passengers became SO great that two of
them were seized with insanity and
had to be put in irons during the
remainder of the voyage.

Desperate Encounter with a Kangaroo.

The Albury (Australia) Banner says:
"Perhaps the most sensational encoun-
ter with q kangaroo that has ever been
recorded occurred few days since near
Mullengandra, on the main Sydney
road. The hero of the adventure was
John Bourke, who has for many years
been engaged on the Mountain Greek
station. It appears that Mr.. Bourke was
riding between Mullengandra and
Mountain Creek, when he started three
kangaroos, and Immediately gave chase.
The quarry headed in the direction of
Mullengandra, and for some miles the
pace was very hot Brush fences and
fallen. timber were, of course, no serious
obstacle to the long tails, and, well
mounted on a wiry stock horse, Bourke
foundslittle difficulty in maintaining a
respectable position in the hunt after a
smart spin, in the course of which the
hunter, if he had held the ground, had
yet failed to gain an inch upon the kan
garoos, the horse began to show signs
of caving in, and it seemed probable
that the denizens of the forest would
have the best of it. At this iuncture,
however, the kangaroos separated, two
continuing on in the same direction as
that which they had been going previ
ously, and the third-a tremendous
old man, about feet Matchmaking a
sharp turn to the right. For a second
or two, Bourke was undecided as to
which he should follow. but the dog
soon settled the matter by making after
the old man. That this course was
the wisest soon became apparent, as
before another half mile of ground was
covered the boomer displayed unmis-
taxable symptoms of distress, and in
five minutes the old man was brought
to bay III the water-hole. Here, how
ever, the kangaroo was still. to a certain
extent, master of the situation, as from
his insular position it was no easy mat
ter either for man or dog to give The
coup de grace. Bourke determined to
push matters to- conclusion, and jump
ed off his horse in order to seize sap
ling which lay conveniently at hand. In
doing this he had calculated too much
Oh the quiescence of the old man. While
Bourke was in the act of stopping to
pick up the sapling, the kanga-
roo, with one great bound was
upon him, and in another
minute had regained has position in the
centre of the waterhole, with the I'm
fortunate Bourke in his arms Here,
had it not been for the help of the faith
full dog, our Story would have had a
more melancholy termination. Even
as it was, poor Bourke got bad maui
ing, and he vehemently asserts that the
grip Of the boomer could only be com
pared to that of grizzly bear.
Whether he would ever have got clear
from the grip of the kangaroo if he bad
been without his dog, is highly prob
lematical, but, as it turned out, the
four-footed companion proved most
useful ally, and turned the scale Of
victory.

The Last Refuge.
BY MICHAEL ANGELO.


Nv feeble bark has reached the shore,
And life's tempestuous sea is passed
Trembling trace my perils DER
And yield my dread account at last.
The rival arts that charmed my youth,
Those fancies of my hayward mind.
Those winning dreams oflove and truth,
Are vain decisions all. find.
A double death sppalls me now
The one draws near with rapid strides,
The other with his awful brow
Time from eternity divides.
Sculpture and painting, rival arts !
Ye can no longer soothe my breast
STis love divine alone imparts
5 The promise of future rest.
On that my trembling soul relies
My trust the cross, my hope the skies.

The Price of Wheat.

The New York World has the follow
ing: The crop of wheat for 1874 was
marketed under very unfavorable cir
cumstances, and prices have ruled ex-
ceptionally low for many MONTHS The
crops In Great Britain and Germany
last year were better than for several
years previously, and France was re-
ported to have large surplus. A full
quently signal for lesseAing of the
demand and great fall in prices. But
it begins to be seen that the increase in
the production of Great Britain and
Germany was very slight as compared
with their aggregate wants; and the
surplus of France, if it ever existed, is
proved to be trifing, for very little has
been obtained from that country, and
the Fren.h are proverbially prompt
sellers of whatever they may have to
sell. The crop of winter wheat in the
United States last season was unusually
large and excellent in quality; it was
marketed rapidly, land its presence in our
markets gave the first downward i'm
| pulse to prices. But the supply of this
| grade OF wheat has been nearly exhaust
ed for some time, and shippers and mil
lers have been compelled to supply
their wants with the better qualities of
| spring wheat. Trustworthy accounts
from the west leave no doubt tha at there
is large quantity of the spring growth
OF wheat, not only in the principal but
III the lateral markets. In casting the
future OF prices, however, it will be well
to remember that prices are now forty
cents bushel lower than last March.
that shipments are favored by the high
| er rates OF exchange and lower ocean
freights, as we'll as the unfavorable
weather for the crops in Great Britain
and generally reduced stocks in Euro
pean markets. Under such circum
stances large supplies, by affolding a
basis for an extensive speculation. often
favor instead of prevent an advance
in prices, and period Of excitement
may be expected in this branch of trade.
