The crew. OF an American schooner,
Louis A. SWEET were recently landed at
Liverpool by the ship Thomas Brooke
bank. As the latter vessel was home
ward bound from Jamaica she fell In with
the schooner in disabled condition and
flying signals of distress. Captain
Brown at once backed the yards and stood
for the vessel, the captain of which in
formed him that she was making much
water, which was gaining upon the
pumps. These had to be kept, continu-
ally at work. He asked to be taken off,
and also said his crew were thoroughly
exhausted through ineessant work, and
were unable to launch their own boat.
At the time the weather was exceeding
iy rough with q terrific sea on, and a
boat could only be lowered with the ut
most danger. Four Of the crew of the
Thomas Brocklebank. however, with the
boatswain volunteered to an a small
boat, and they put off to rescue the
helpless sailors. The boat could not
approach the schooner in safety, and
lines we're thrown, by which the men
were hauled through the sea into the
boat, the captain being the last to leave,
and he SWAN to the boat The men
were almost naked at the time OF their
rescue, and when they were taken on
board the Thomas Brocklebank fresh
supplies of clothes were given to them
and they were kindly treated by Captain
Brown, to whom the greatest praise is
due for his bravery and humanity, as
we'll as to the sailors who SO heroically
manned the boat. The Louis A. SWEET
was owned in Boston, and at the time of
the disaster was bound from Acora to
Boston with palm oil. The distressed
seamen were taken to the Sailors Home.

been enabled to collect aa overwhelming
force, which had made one last desperate
effort and had succeeded in driving the
Russians out. One bastion was held to
the last by young officer, whose name
I regret I have forgotten, with q handful
of men. They refused to fly, and were
slaughtered to the last man. ".",
It was just after this thatI met Gen.

ment is half destroyed; my regiments do

The Wonderful Dog Of Coh0es.

Morrison, Colwen & Page have in
connection with their rolling mill at
Cohoes, N. Y, large, stable for their
large stock of horses. Two watchmen
guard this stable day and night and care
for the horses. Besides the watchmen
large dog, cross between the st. Ber-
nard and Newfoundland species, is kept
on the premises. This animal realizes
that he is assistant guardian Of the
premises and faithfully does he perform
his duties. At Inightif anything amlss
happens to the horses or anything else
he straightway starts for the watchman
and taking his trousers in his teeth will
not loosen his hold until he has led him
to the spot. Formerly, when any OF the
horses slipped their halters and attempt.
ed to wander about the stable, he would
drive them back into their stall and
mount guard over them until the watch
man arrived in his rounds and secured
them. This practice was kept up until
in an unlucky night, some time ago,
when he attempted to drive vicious
mule into his stall from which he bad
escaped, when the animal let fly with
both hind feet, one of which took effect
on the poor dogs head, knocking out a
number of teeth and cutting his face
badly. Since that time the knowing dog
has not attempted to drive back any Of
his equine charge that may become loose
but straightway goes to the watchman
on guard. At one time some loose straw
and hay laying in the rear of and against
the barn by some means caught fire.
When discovered the faithful dog was
at his post, and standing in fire and
smoke was scratching away with all his
might, removing the burning mass
from the building and barking Justify
for aid. Although the dog was burned
somewhat, the building, mainly through
his efforts, was saved. The gentlemen
owning the animal prize him highly
and would not exchange his services as
watchman for any biped in creation.

A Judge Dying Upon the Bench.

About six o'clock one Thursday eve
ming recently, while the Supreme Court
was in session at Knoxville, the county
seat of Crawford county, Georgia, Judge
Barnard Hill, the presiding judge, died
upon the bench in sudden and unex-
pected manner: The facts appear to be
as follows A criminal trial, in which
two men were charged with larceny, had
Just been concluded and the jury re-
turned verdict Of "guilty." They
neglected to state the value Of the goods
stolen, and Judge Hill remarked to them
that they had best retire and supply
this portion of the verdict. They re-
turned to the room and lull in the pro-
ceedings followed. A few moments
after one of the attorneys looked up and
discovered that Judge Hills head was
thrown back upon his chair, deathly
pallor overspreading his countenance.
Friends rushed to him, but with an easy
gasp his spirit passed away, and he sSt
dead upon the bench in the midst of the
discharge Of his high official duty.

Photosraphing tile Heart-Beat.

One of the most remarkable applica-
tions of photography is that by which it
is now made to register, and in the most
accurate manner, the mechanical motion
Of the heart. The device by which this
result is attained is, indeed, triumph
of inventive skill It consists Of a thin
india-rubber bag, to which short glass
tube is attached, sufficient mercury is
poured into the apparatus to fill the bag
and portion OF the tube, and the in
strument is then placed over the heart
of the person to be examined. Arranged
in this manner, every pulsation OF the
heart is indicated by a corresponding
movement of the mercury in the tube,
and, by suitable Photographic appar'
atus, provided with moving sensitive
slip of paper, perfect registration OF
the extent and rate of the pulsations is
obtained. The interesting fact is made
known by this process, that the fall OF
the pulse sometimes takes place in sue
cessful horizontal lines, and sometimes
in ascendant lines, the column reasoend-
Ing two or three times before falling
altogether. ....''. g."

Advice to Business Men.

To make business good, if it Is not 30
with you, reader, we should then say 60
to work and make it so. First OF All,
bear in mind that you are the architect
of your own fortune. Good or bad 1t ls
YOU who make it, and from you must
come all the best relief to the situation
at any time. Make your existence known:
Keep your name and goods constantly
before the public. Attract trade. Cease
to imagine that it will at any time seek
YOU out. Do not let your customers
forget you. Remind them Of your fachl-
ties and business constantly. Advertise.
EARLY and late be at work to increase
your business; and if there is anything
to be had you will get it. But don't
place blame On the times when you your
self are not up to the times and the mod
ern methods Of attracting trade and doing
business. = Boston Journal OF COM

Who Is He?

>, Fifteen wears ago, seys Jennie june,
q handsome and dashing student OF Har-
ward attracted universal attention, not
only by his high style of living, but by
his brilliant scholarship and superb
manner. He was not only the admra
ton of the bellies, but the despair OF all
the beaux, for without apparent effort
he surpassed the best of them in appear
anee. III style, in attainments, in gene.
rosity which was princely, and in good
nature, which in its indifference was
never inconsiderate of the wants, wishes
or feelings of others. From student
of Harvard, the splendid young Amerl-
can became fellow of Oxford, and even
among the luxurious and exclusive sons
of the finest aristocracy OF the world
shone with almost as resplendent 9 light
as in the more modest halls OF Harvard.
He conversed, read and wrote In seven
different languages as easily as IN nus
own. and at the same time maintained q
brilliant social reputation, which was
enhanced by style OF Irving with winch
the descendants Of line Of titled ances-
tors and heirs of the honors Of the great
est English families hardly dared to
compete. In this way, and in travelling
en- arande Seigne,lr all over Europe,
making acouaintances with royalty and
hobnobbing with the younger sons OF
ducal houses, our Harvard man contrlved
to gel through the first ten years OF re-
sponsible existence, and spend not only
his own fortune but that OF several
doting relatives. He came to the end at
last, and, without any shock Of his own
or other peoples nerves, settled down to
hard-pan and the life Of newspaper wri-
ter. He is married now, land with his wife
and one child lives III cottage in re-
tired spot near New York. The genius
which distinguished him as q student
distinguishes him as writer. His flash
ing yet scholarly style marked him out
from among a hundred ordinary con:
tributors, and gave him an acknowledged
place at once. he makes more money
as an "outsider to-day than any writer
on the press. But few would recognize
in the quiet, somewhat reserved, yet
thoroughbred man who pays an occas-
sional visit to editorial sanctums the
dashing and fashionable young Ameri'
can who attracted the attention OF the
most renowned circles by the splendor
of his tastes and the brilhancy OF his
attainments.

An Excited Town.

A correspondent Of the San Francisco
Chronicle, writing hom Rocklin, Placer
county, Gal, says :: The recent horrible
murders committed by the Chinese at
Sargent 'axanch have thrown the citizens
of this vi6lhity into such state Of excite
ment that some of them seem to mistake
their own shadow for Celestial with an
ax and pistol ready to commit murder
most horrible. As q profession against
a repetition of these crimes, the citizens
of this place have sent the Chinese of,
and to encourage them and convince
them that they meant business they
have taken down their cabins and piled
the lumber in heaps. A report reached
us last night that q body Of 800 Chinese
we're going to attack and burn our town.
Quite number Of volunteers with shot 2
gums soon presented themselves, and
formed q picket line around the town,
while all who remained at home armed
themselves to the teeth, determined that,
should the Chinese come, they would
give them warm reception. One Of the
men on picket (named SMITH had not
been gone long when he met the enemy,
and thinking his time had come, and
that he must sell his life as dearly as,
possible, he discharged both barrels Of
his shotgun, and turning his back on
the enemy, made the best time that has
ever been made over this course. It was
some minutes before ne could speak, and
quite crowd had collected around him..
when he explained that he had seen
about 1000 Cinnamon, had shot their
leader, and il he only had Henry rifle,
he could have killed q dozen more, but
could not reload his shotgun. A party
was formed in a few minutes to attack
the advancing enemy, and after consid.
ersble persuasion the frightened picket
was plotting them to the place where ne
had shot the Celestial. Instead Of a dead
Cinnamon they found an old stump with
thirteen buckshot in it, showing that the
picket had not missed his mark when he
shot his gun of ,.. - s.
