to be drawn by the solicitations of the.

We know not howsfar there may have
been a touch of tenderness in the relations
between Prince Sergius and the Car
Alexander, but the two were at all events,
kinsmen by blood, and it may, perhaps,
be that the natural feeling produced by
this young mans death, may so
impress the mind Of his majesty with
the unspeakable misery caused BY his
enterprise in many a humble home, and

OF eternity, which mystery they were
firmly convinced they would soon solve.
Every sail that was available, had been
set, but the ship was little less than FIVE
hundred yards from the rocks, and the
wind from the rebounding breakers fall
ing heavily on the limp canvas, forced
the sharp vessel ahead twice her length.
The sun rose clear from her watery
depths, not a clond was to be seen in the
heavens, as a flood Of glorious sunlight
tinged the crests of the huge swells.
A light cat's-paw came dancing over
the CLASSY surface of the water from the
eastward. Another and another followed:
the ship forged ahead, the light sails
filled, and in fifteen minutes the Sunbeam
was running with studding- sails set
below and aloft.

Hardy stepped below to commune in

Shopping on the Sea.

People after long sea voyage are nat
urally eager for fresh fruit. A lady cor
respondent of the iAdcance, who, was a
passenger on one Of the Pacific mail
steamships, informs us how her desire was
gratifed while the vessel lay at anchor
five miles off the little Mexican coast town
of Mazatlan. The natives came out in
boats, bringing tempting supplies Of the
produce of the country. 55 tis.'s: u
Here were huge clusters of bananas,
iplucked freshly from the tall palms which
we could see quite plainly en- the land, -
of most exquisite flavor; pineapples, such
as can only be ripened under a warm
mellow, tropical sun; lines Of pleasant
acidity, suggestive of cool lemonade;
oranges, too large to hold CONSIDERABLY in
your hand, unless it be a large one, and
cocoanuts, melons, and mangoes in album
dance. 5s'st a'1{ w
That is what the merchants offered us.
Now how did we Buy them2 4asf .,
The distance between US was shout the
same that It would be if we had been
standing at the uppe1 window Of am or
binary two stored house, and the boat
man on the ground, and there was such
aclarnor Of voices of men and women call
ing their wares and the prices, that it wa
quite deafening at first. s,s
But when trade had fairly begun, itwas
really quite easy and pleasant, and GER
tainly it was novel way Of doing shop
ping. Suppose we wished some bananas
We looked about until we find "a man
who has FINE ripe ones, attract bis atten~
ton, as yoa would that of horse-car

An Enterprls1ng Correspondent.

A writer in the Boston Commercial
Bulletin tells of an. interview held with
Archibald Forbes, the English war cor
respondent, who has added to his already
brilliant reputation by the magnificent
description which he gave of the recent
battle Of Plevna. Mr.. Forbes related
some Of his exploits in the field of Jour
nalism, and at length was asked:
"And what do you consider your mas
terpiece of generalship?"
.My last exploit before leaving Eng
land" he replied. II went down to
Falmouth to meet the Warrior {(itonclad),
having on board the single survivor Of
that wrecked vessel, whose crew were
adrift in boat for eight days, and ate
two Of their comrades. Falmouth was
full Of correspondents; SO put up in q
house outside the town, and | engaged
the only steam tug IN the place. wait
ed three days, and on the night of the
third in walks one of the correspondents.
g: Hello, Forbes, says he, in astonish-
ment; you here9'
Ten minutes afterward came word
that the Warrior was sighted. My tug
at once put out, and we lay quietly in
the harbor, burning no lights. Presently
dark mass doomed upon us and shouts
arose.
60 Forbes! Forbes, ] say! Come. mo
shamming. We know you are there
"But l kept quite silent, and remem-
bered with no little vexation that second
tug had arrived in the harbor that morn
ing. At length the Warrior appeared.
We steered toward her and as we passed I
sprang for her chains, and was dragged
in the ships wake up to my waist in
water. However, got on deck. I ran
down to the steward and offered him five
pounds to bring my man into cabin. He
did So and locked the door. Them I Of
fered fifty pounds to the poor, lean speci-
men of shipwrecked sailor in exchange
for his story. He began it, and seribbled
away.
"Ten minutes later came a violent zap
ping. s
ssLet US in, Forbes said the we'll
known voice.
"But only wrote the harder. At last
an officer appeared and insisted on my
coming on deck. There found the cap
tain in towering passion.
wv nat the QeuCe 90 you mean SIT, Dy
boarding my ship like that?' he demand
ed.
81 offered him my credentials and es=-
cuses, and finally we were all put on
board the tug, including the shipwrecked
mariner.
The correspondents at first wanted to
fight me, but squared up to them with
one arm, still clinging to nny prize with
the other. Having landed, I hurried
him to the station, and there met my
clerk who had been sent to- reserve a rail
way carriage: He was white with rage
and modification. Unable to speak he
led the way to my reserved compartment.
Outside it was locked at both doors. In
side it contained four correspondents.
comfortably ensconsed in the four cor
ners. They had waited when the rest
went aboard the tug, and had CHM bed in
through the windowsn'
"And that washow thesother papers were
able to give the sailors yarn next morn
ng?" asked I.
Yes. He told it to us as we rode from
Falmouth to Exser. There we all left the
train and telegmphed our. naratiyes to
London
Hereupon the distinguished writer arose
and took his leave.

SrOg, Wh1ch was eagerly swallowed by
the sailors, who fully realized the nature
of the struggle they were about to engage
in. IS
A tremendous sea was running, which
set the ship still nearer to the lee shore
with every .heave. Under the press of
canvas which it was impe rative to carry,
the Sunbeam was all but. buried in the
foaming surges. .t17
Sea after sea broke over the ship as she
lay in the trough, deluging her with
water from the sforecastle aft to the hin
nacle, where two Of the best seamen had
been lashed to the wheel. Occasionally
the sharp bows of the clipper would de-
scend with terrible force, plunging madly
into the seas, threatening to tear herself
i asunder as she struggled on.
The entire ships company was on deck,
Sclinging to life lines which had .beenrove
fore and aft. The. captain had taken up
Ais position aft by the wheel. while the
two mates, with their respective watches,
ssbod ready to execute any orders that
might emanate from the quarter deck.
