fered shlpwreck, and only reached New
Haven on Sunday last. He sailed in
November last, from Rockland, Me-, as
first mate Of the clipper ship Dolphin,
with Captain Greeley, who was the
owner. They were bound for port ir
Africa, with cargo of general merchan-
disc, expecting TO trade in fruits, nuts,
and woods for the American market.
When near their destination, on the 26th
of December last, they were wrecked of
the coast of Africa near a port known as
Cybrian La Grade.
Mate Foss was among eight of the crew
that were saved from the forty-one; the
others perished in the sea. These eight
were picked up while afoat by schooner
and were brought to New Haven. This
is the second shipwreck that young Foss
has suffered, although he is only twenty
two years of age, and has followed the
sea four or five years. He was wrecked
before off Boston Shoals, in June, 1878,
when the same Gaptain lost vessel that
was sunk in five minutes by another
schooner running into her. The Captain
then bought the Dolphin, getting it for
small sum, for the reason that no Cap
tain could be found to run it on account
of superstition against it. A man was
killed in the launching Of it, and this, in
the minds Of sea-faring men, was too
much Of an i'll omen to make it safe
ship to sail in. The owner had run the
vessel two years without mishap.

Chambers Journal.


There is nothing like exactness. An
officer having to proceed on duty from
one station to another, in making out
his claim for travelling expenses put
down the item, "Porter 3d." an item
struck out by the War Office. Not being
inclined to be defrauded of his sixpence,
the officer informed the authorities that
the porter had conveyed his baggage
from one station to another, and that had
he not employed him he must have taken
a cab, which would have cost 18d. In
reply came an official notification that
his claim would be allowed, but instruct
ing him that he ought to have used the
term "porterage" instead of "porter."
He was determined, however, to. have
the last word, and wrote back that he
was unable to find any precedent for
using the word "porterage," but for the
future would do 50, and at the same
time requested to know if he was to use
the term cabbage" when he meant
"cab."

liverpool Post.l

At the Liverpool Police Court yester-
day Thomas Reginald Garnett, No. 80
Peel street, Transmere, a middle-aged
man of respectable appearance, was
brought up in custody on the charge of
sending scandalous letters to ladies, and
thereby being guilty of conduct which
was calculated to provoke breach of
the peace. Chief Superintendent Will
liams, of the Detective Department,
stated chat lady who wished for stu
alton as governess through a Liverpool
agent had an advertisement inserted in
one of the Liverpool papers
The prisoner appeared to have seen that
advertisement and answered it in the
most disgusting and abominable way.
Fortunately the letter did not get into
the hands Of the lady, but was opened,
and detained by the agent, who handed
it at once to the police. In it the pris-
oner asked that letter in reply should
be addressed "Henry Foster, Postofice,
Birkenhead." He (Mr. Williams) had a
letter sent addressed In that way, and a
watch was set, and the prisoner went and
received the letter on Saturday. He was
at once appreheuded, when he said, II
am not Henry Foster; | am Thomas Reg
iuald Garnett, and live at No. 50 Peel
street, Tranmere."
He also stated that he went about So
Letting orders for coal. He was shown
the letter sent in reply to the advertise
ment, and also another in similar hand
writing, and he (Mr. WilIiams) was
afraid that these were not the only two
letters of the description which the pris-
oner had written. The police showed
him the two letters, and he said, II did
write those abominable letters, as you
call them," and gave as an excuse that
he had been in railway accident some
years ago. and ever since had been af-
ficted with a morbid and deprayed taste.
Mr.. Williams then asked that the pris-
oner should be directed to find sureties
for his future good behavior, as his con-
duct was calculated to incite breach of
the peace, because, Mr.. Williams OBJ
served, any one who saw such letters
might seek the prisoner out and thrash
him to within an inch of his life.
The Justice said: II shall certainly
bind him in sureties to keep, the peace.
/ think tho public must be projected
from this man. It is a shocking thing
for respectable woman to get such a
setter as that sent in answer to an adver-
tisement. The prisoner must find two
sureties of EGO each to keep the peace
for three months. If he can not produce
two, if he will find one bail in double
the amount, / may, perhaps, take that"
The bail was then entered into, and the
prisoner left the court.

A sexton in Gloucester, Mass. was
summoned to prepare for burial an
aged man, with whom he was we'll ac-
auainted. Arriving at the house, he
was requested to 60 up stairs to the bed
room, where the body was lying. Up
he went, and while removing his coat,
was dumfounded ON seeing the sup
posed dead man risei in bed, and in hol-
low tone Of voice articnlate: "Halloa,
John, how are youf Shake hands,"
The sexton was almost frozen with hor-
ror, but in moment said: Il came up,
Sam, to see if you didn't want me to
make new kind Of gruel." The sick
man assented; the Cruel was made and
carried up, and the affair passed off.
The patient lived until the next day,
and when the sexton was again sum-
moned there was no resnscitation.
