particulars Of the death Of this gallant
sailor. 1t was tho theme Of song and
poetry at tho time it happened, IS OK

but twenty-five years has nearly thrown
the veil Of oblivion over the touching
scene Of his death.
+ Although q captain in the United
States Navy, Herndon was permitted to
take service in the line ofsteaners then
running from New York to Panama.
He left New York in command Of the
Central America, crowded with passcli-
gers. Off the coast she was wrecked.
Capt. Herndon knew she would sink.
With acoolness perfectly Characteristic
Of the man, he made arrangements to
save all his passengers and crew. He
found place for each and every one
but himself, for the boats, loaded down,
threatened to sink. Handing his watch
to a New York friend entering the
boats, he asked him him to deliver il to
his wife, and the boats were pushed of.
ssDressing himself in his naval uni
form, with swords around him, hs as
cended to the highest part Of tho vessel
and took position. Thus dressed, under
the flag Of his country, the last thing
the f3eeting passengers saw was Hern-
don, the flag and the ship all going down

At Dallasani nicely-dressed and VERY hand
some yonng man, on llis way home the
other night, after calling on young
lady, was metin a dark place by two
fellows, who leveled pistols ut him, and
told him to hold up his hands and be
searched. He told them they had struck
the wrong man, for he hadn't a cent
about him. They went through him,
and found nothing but key. They
told him they would let him go, but il
they caught him moneyless again they
would kill him on the spot, and told him
that if he would stop visiting the girls,

Married the Wrong Man.

In the far corner of the state, says
| The Philadelphia Press, there lives n
| conscientious citizen named William
Cumming. The bright eyes and sunny
smile of Mrs. Frances Kennedy. a
widow whose summers number only
| twenty-five, caused Mr. Cumming to
neglect his prayer-meeting. Indeed
the committee was in session every
night CD the back porch during the last
two months. Three weeks ago the
young widows friends learned, after
much whispering, that she was to be-
come Mrs. Cumming as early as Sep
I TENDER II. Her friends remarked that
| the wedding was just one year and one
day removed from the date of Mr.
Kennedy's death. The happy day fell
| upon last Wednesday. The ceremony
was to take place at O'Clock in the
evening, at the brides residence in Erie.
About sixty guests were invited to par
take OF the wedding feast. In the fore
noon the bridegroom arrayed himself
in his best, and went off to invite few
friends in the country. The afternoon
mail bore to the bride postal card
| from Mr.. Cumming stating that as he
| had not yet overcome his conscientious
scruples about marrying the widow of
man so recently deceased he would
go 20 the woods and pray until the
wedding hour approached. Mrs. Ken
nedy didn't faint or go into Mysteries;
but she decked herself in her bridal
robes and smilingly received her guests
When the minister had arrived the
widow read the postal aloud, and in
the midst Of the sensation thus caused
she led the way to the banquet. After
the feast dancing began. Mrs. kenne-
dy's partner was an "old flame, Wash
ington Williams, bachlor. He SOW
opportunity, seized it, and within ten
minutes after the idea occurred to hi,n
Mrs. Kennedy was Mrs. Williams. The
knot had scarcely been tied wien the
door-bell rang violently. In rushed
the conscientious Cumming, ger to
clasp his bride. Sensation Slow
music Exeunt omnes.

While his grand spirit through the gloom

Carve deep the stone that speaks his worth,
And tells the prize Death won.

Let traffic stay her hand
Make bare your brow Irvine sable gauze
