Rescued in Mid Ocean.

On a certain Saturday the we'll
known Cunard steamship Parthia
was between 400 and 500 miles
distant from the west coast of Ire
land, having sailed from the port
of Boston on the previous Satur-
day. For some hours low ba-
rometer had given warning of
coming gale. The fury of the
wind raised a tremendous sea. The
Parthia ran for time but run
ming is not the remedy prescribed
by the captains who are caught in
a circular storm, and shortly after
4 o'clock the helm of the steamer
was put down and her head pointed
to the seas. The passengers were
below, considerably battened down
by order of Capt. McKaye, the
commander of the vessel, so that
they should not be washed over
board or drowned in the cabins,
for now that the steamers bow was
pointed ut the sea she was Just one
smother Of froth from the eye TO
the rudder head. Her curtseying
might have looked graceful at
distance, but it was tremendous
experience to those who had to
keep time to her dance. Every
now and again she would "dish"
whole green sea forward-taking
it just as you would dip a pail in
to water-a sea that Immediately
turned the deck into a small rag
ing ocean as high as mans waist.
The Parthia lay hove to for six
hours. At 10 o'clock at night the
gale broke, the wind sensibly mod
Grated, the steamer was brought to
her course and went rolling heavi.
ly over the immense and powerful
ocean swell which the cyclone had
left behind it. Sunday morning
came with a benediction in the
shape of a warm, bright sun. But
the swell was still exceedingly
heavy.
1t was shortly after two bells
20 o'clock) when the lookout man
reported vessel away on the lee
bow, apparently hull down. AS
she gradually hove up by the ap-
proach Of the Parthia, those who
had sailors eyes in their heads per-
ceived that she was a vessel in dis
tress, and that If any human be-
ings were aboard Of her, their
plight would be most miserable.
She was water-logged, and SO low
in the water that she buried her
bulwarks with every roll. She had
all three masts standing, but her
yards were boxed about anyhow,
her running rigging in bights, with
ends of it trailing overheard. Her
canvas was rudely furlcd, but she
had fragment Of foretopmast
staysail hoisted, as well as a storm
stsysail, and she looked to be hove
to. Her aspect, had she been en-
countered as derelict, was mourn
ful enough to have set a sailor
musing for an hour; but when II was
discovered that there were living
people on her she took an extraor-
binary and trsgical significance. |

A schoolboy's ThougntIcss Act.

About as sad a case as has lately
fallen under your correspondence notice,
says a Bloomington, Ind, correspond
ent, occurred in this (Monr0e) county,
and should be written up rs n warning
10 vicious boys, if that class is supposed
to ever heed warnings. A. j.. Payne,
of Salt Creek Township, has a bright
and pretty little daughter OF seven
years, who attended the district school
in the neighborhood Of her fathers
farm. On n pleasant morning about
four years ago, while on her way to
school, the girl was met by a vicious
neighbor boy, three OF four years older
than herself, and who had dead black
snake, which he carried on a stick. He
thrust the dead snake into the girls
face, and she was 50 terrified she could
not run away. Then he took the snake
and wrapped IL around her neck and
shoulders and ran off, leaving her thus
environed. She shook the reptile off
and fastened on to school. The child
was greatly agitated during the entire
forenoon, and when she returned home
her parents, greatly alarmed, urged
her to tell them what had occurred, for
her conduct was wild and strange. She
gave them the story in n disjointed
manner, shrieking out frequently stake
the snake away BY night her reason
was a wreck, and has so remained ever
since. For four years she has recog-
nized no one, but daily sat with her little
slate on her lap, marking out the same
figures she had been given as q lesson
at school on that fateful day on which
the vicious boy placed the dead snake
about her, and this monotony was only
broken at times, when she would cry
out, stake the snake away" Hoping
that medical science might possibly do
something for the relief of his daughter,
Mr.. Payne took her to the State Insane
Asylum at Indianapolis afew weeks ago.
The physicians Of the institution last
week wrote him there was only a faint
hope for his beautiful child, and she will
probably end her days an occupant of
the Asylum for the lncurable Insane.

Tree Trimming.

In trimming n tree, several objects
must be held in view. First-A prop
or balance of limbs and branches. A
leaning tree or a one-sided tree may
produce good fruit, but Il straight, Welt
balanced tree will produce more fruit
and better fruit. l go once or twice
around q tree, try to take in the whole
situation before | put my knife TO a
limb. look at the probable size and
shape OF the tree five TO ten years hence,
aud cut accordingly. Three years ago
| set q row Of plum trees where the pre-
vailing winds made all the branches
grow on one side. Sickness prevented
my attending to them properly, and the
next winter they were q sorry sight all
on one side. BY my constant attention,
summer and winter, encouraging one
side and discouraging the other, they
are now pretty equally balanced. Sec
ond-A proper degree OF Openness, so
as to let in sun and air, to properly per-
feet fruit and branches; and not too
much sur to wither up any part OF the
trees. Thirdly-Limbs must not cross
each other, producing future chatting Of
the bark. Fourthly-A crotched tree
must be avoided, as when one of the
crotches splits off the tree is ruined
Hfthly-Suckers and sap limbs and
long, struggling branches must be kept
in check. l suffer my trees to branch
out low, often less than s. foot from the
ground. 50 rs not TO have q long naked
body exposed to the sun, wind and IN
sects. keep the lower limbs pretty
well in, however, Sc as not TO be too much
in the way of the plow. To do this il
is sometimes necessary TO cut of the
ends of the limbs to an inside bud /
trim all times of the year; as one nurs-
ery-man expressed il, whenever my
knife is sharp" l trim so often that |
very seldom take off n large limb. One
large limb taken from n tree is more
injurious to its vitality than many
scores OF small ones. Indeed, if the
thing were possible without introducing
the inevitable Irishmen, l would trim
SO often and well as not TO have to trim
at all. This. indeed, would be the per
lection Of fruit-growing--when you q
induce your tree to expend all its vital
ity in the production and perfection
only of fruit and necessary growth.
And. L think, by constant attention,
pinching in and summer pruning, we
can come much nearer perfection in
this direction than is often done. |
love nature; | like to see her in all her
hayward moods and rough, wild ways.
l never put n knife to an ornamental or
forest tree. These city evergreens,
trimmed up in the shape of bottles,
pyramids and cones, are pretty, to be
sure, but they look so constrained and
distorted that the sight to me is rather
painful than otherwise. But when it
comes to a fruit tree, it must be con-
strained to a shape of utility, and then
only is it beautiful. A fruit tree with
clustering masses of tangled boughs, 50
that the u and air cannot penetrate
to give color and flavor to the fruit, or
with long struggling branches, unpro-
tected from the fierce winds and hot
glare of the sun, or with neglected
sprouts growing from the roots, sapping
the life from the tree, is truly a sorry
sight. IS. r. Snoto, in Paeifc Rural.

FORGOTTEN sInecures at washington.


Mr., u. L. White, editor of the Prov
idence Or. ID Press, is writing for his
paper some "reminiscences OF Wishing
ton life, from which we take the follow
ing: before this house (the one occu-
pied by Mr.. Seward when he was at
tackled by Paynel, for several years
atterward, q sentry paced night and
day, even when Mr.. Seward had moved
away and gone out of Office. The same
building was one used as a club house,
and from it Key had Just issued when
he was shot by Sickles. This lonely
sentry, still at his post long after he
had been forgotten at the War Depart
ment, and allowed to remain, / sup
pose, because no one thought it was his
duty TO relieve him, reminds me OF sew
eral similar incidents that are rotated
in Washington. The Great Falls of the
Potomac are about sixteen miles above
Washington, and during the war there
was n station for the collection of
provisions for the army on the bank
of the canal neal these grand cataracts.
The road between Washington and
Great Falls was several times raided by
the C%onfederates, and a block-house was
erected by the Federals at a point three
or four miles above Georgetown to
prevent parties of rebels from passing
up and doSn the road. At the close of
the war the deSenses about the capital
were one after another deserted. but
nobody seems to have remembered the
Corporaps guard stationed out there on
the Aqueduet road, and they remained
on duty for a year or two. After they
were relieved, the block house was set
on fire by tramps or boys, and only a
few blackened posts now mark Its site.
A still more remarkable case was that
discovered by General Il. +. Butler
about ten years ago. He was nosing
around among the appropriations one
day, when he discovered an officer In
the Capitol whose duties he did not
understand. He was watching crypt
An investigation showed that many
years ago 1t was proposed 20 deposit the
bones of General George Washington
beneath the Capitol, and a crypt W.
prepared for that purpose. When it
was completed, a public officer was APP
pointed whose duty it was to watch this
crypt and prevent its dissertation, and
there he had been ever since, growing
gray in the service, and while Congress
had appropriated money 10 pay his
salary year after year. nobody had
thought it worth while to inquire how
he earned it,"

The POpe's Peculiarities
From the Pail Mall Gazette.l

His holiness, Pope Leo XIII, appears to be
a decidedly enigmatical parsonage, if we may
trust the account given of him by the Roman
correspondent of The Cologne Gazette. The
most striking fact about him so far appears to
be the slight extent to which his character is
known either by the faithful at large or by
the inmates of the Vatican. Every one
knows how Plus TX. lived; his hours were all
allotted beforehand and the same duties al
ways performed at the same moment There
is total want of this regularity in his success
sor. He keeps late hours, and has sometimes
been found by his servants at his desk in the
early morning half dazed after writing through
the night He has all his meals served to him
in the greatest privacy, is much more sparing
of audiences than was Plus, and even his
State secretary and the cardinals can only see
him at irregular intervals. The great inno-
walton he has made has been his partial SUI
persession of the above mentioned official,
who, under Plus *. practically administered
the affairs of the papacy. He has set on foot
a chanceilery of his own, consisting of tn ee
private secretaries, and conducts his affairs
with their aid quite independently of the State
secretary, and often over his head. It not
unfrequently happens that orders go down to
the bishoprics from the State secretary and
are Cancelled in day or two by different or
ders from the Pope, or that the secretary
brings papers to his holiness and tells him
