INTENDED TO WRECK THE MErR6roIIs-
Either there is a conspiracy against Capt
Ankers among the ships company of the
.Hrqpolis, or he has betrayed his completely
in a great crime No less than four
members of the crew testify that the Cap.
tain said to them at different times that he
had carried out the instructions given him
by the owners; they had adjured him, if
he had any accident, to "make a good
wreck of her And the ships carpenter
says he called Captain Ankers's attention
to the unworthincss of the ship, and was
merely cautioned, in reply, to say nothing
about it. The fair inference is, if this testi.
mony is true, that the owners were tired of
repairing this rotton hulk, and wanted "a
good wreck" made of it, that they might
get the insurance and part with the ship
forever The hundreds of lives which had
been intrusted to it do not seem to have
been considered at all. 1t is needless to
say what grave accusation is made by
these four witnesses, who are supported to
a certain extent by the fifth 1t is simply
charge of premeditated murder by whole

The Hero of the Metropolis.

Prominent among the heroes of the
-HCtropohs tragedy stands this humble and
unpretentious looking Irishman, Timothy
'Bricn. BY his own unaided exertions he
rescued from the breakers and surf nearly
fifty persons. This is the second wreck
from which he has escaped with his life
the first being that Of the steamer Golhn
T"r, which was lost off Acapulco on the
Pacific coast, in 1868. She was burned to
the waters edge, and O. Brien was ore of
the twenty-five persons who swan ashore,
a distance of seven miles. Soon after the
.Hff"polS struck, and began to break up,
there was a general rush for the rigging.
Q Brlen secured a position high on the
mainmast, but when it became apparent
that the only chance for life was to swim
ashore he boldly jumped from the rigging
over the heads of the others and struck out
for the beach, which he reached safely, the
fifth man from the wreck. Realizing the
peril of his fellow passengers, OBricn
FASTENED over to the Currituck Club House:
three quarters of mile distant where he
procured a pair of oyeralls and quantity
of dry matches. He returned, built several
fires, after which began the work which
marks him a hero.
The sea was full Of the struggling victims
butteting with the breakers, and one by
one they were sinking never to rise again
with life, when O'Brien, at ten o'clock.
plunged boldly into the rescue. One bv
one he brought the nearly exhausted and.
in some instances, half dead victims ashore
and placed them in the hands Of Others at
the fires. lie never halted until five
o'clock in the evening, when the last sur
vlvor had reached the shore In the seven
hours during which he was thus engaged.
o Brion had saved nearly fifty people,
many Of whom would have persisted but
Tor his great coolncss and manly aid
The last and crowning act of this great
feat Of humanity was the rescue of Mrs.
Anne lIuet the only surviving female Of
the wreck. She was struggling fecbly with
the breakers. supported only by lire-prc-
server, but evidently exhausted and about
to sink. O OBrien saw her awful position.
and, calling to a young man named John
Doherty to help him he started through
the surf for the dying woman. Twice the
treacherous waves snatched her from his
friendly grasp, but at last he caught her
and with Doherty's assistance brought her
ashore IL an unconscious condition.
She was alive, however, and was at once
subjected to the somewhat barbayou-
remedy Of being rolled upon a barrel to get
the salt water out of her and then placed
upon a bed tick, beside one of O'Brien'
! hres. In about thirty minutes she revived
to find her husband beside her. lie had
been washed ashore forty yards below on
the beach, and when dragged out his first
exclamation was-''is my wife drowned? p
lie was told she was saved, and over
loyed, was carried to her side, where he
remained until she opened her eyes tc
realize that both had escaped watery
! graves.

BEING HAPPY.-There are two ways of
being happy. We may either diminish
our wants or augment our means; +; either
will do, the result is the same; and it is
for each man to decide for himself, and do
that which may happen to be the easiest
II you are idle, or sick, or poor, however
hard it may be to diminish your wants, it
will be easier than to augment your means
lfyour are active and prosperous, or young
and in good health, it may be easier for you
to augment your means than to diminish
