Madmen on a Raft,
The Terrible Experience of Crew
 Wrecked in a Southern Cyclone.

The Terrible Experience of a Crew
 Wrecked in a Southern Cyclone.
 The Philadelphia Times reports the adven- lures of James Fisher, chief officer of the
 bark Brunswick which left Philadelphia for
 New Orleans May 16, and was wrecked off
 the coast of Charleston during her return
 voyage in the terrible cyclone of July 27 and
 28. Fisher says: "We were about seventy
 five miles off Charleston, just a little to the
 north, perhaps, and apparently in the very
 vortex of the cyclone. We decided to throw
 the deck load, comprising some thirty-five
 thousand feet of timber, overheard. Well,
 over it went. We went along better for 8
 while but only for while. Our hold was
 rapidly filing We felt that the vessel must
 sink and we threw over everything that we could get rid of in the hope of saving her.
 In trying to break the anchor away Theodore
 Shadduck, Greek sailor, was sweptover- board. I saw him on the crest of mighty wave behind us, and I thought he would be swept back. He seemed to think so too, for he called out All rightee, sir But in moment after he threw up his arms and dis appeared. It was every man for himself, and so I told the men. They blubbered for while, of course; deaths terrible thing when it comes and laughs right in your face. No use men, said I, every mans got to go some time. If any of you can pray, why pray. Now is the time. But don't let us be women. Let us die like men, Six of us lashed our selves to the stump of the mizzenmast and three to the spanker- boom. There we cow cred, the sea beating over us, until at last the cabin broke up and the stump of the mizzen- mast shot up into the air We disengaged ourselves as rapidly as possible. We crawled for our lives to beam that serves to fasten the skylight and lashed ourselves to that. The hull broke up and the cargo foated up around us. We were on nothing but a raft composed of part of the deck. When we counted heads there were but six of us. The rest had float ed of and were drowned, we scarcely know how. It was pitch dark and we could hear nothing but the awful roar of the clements So we lay there all night fighting the sea and wreck. Heavy logs forty feet long were whipped up and twirled around like shingles. I got just 8 little tap of one. It knocked all my front teeth down my throat In the morning we banded ourselves together so that the wind could strike us-made sail of ourselves, so to speak-and we slowly work ed ourselves free from the debris. So we drifted that day and the next, hungry, thirsty and despairing. Three of our men who had been drinking salt water began to lose their minds. One-the negro steward-wanted to eat his hands. The two others-sailors--im agined they were still in quarrel over an imaginary theft of tobacco and wanted to kill each other with their knives We could scarcely control them, but we managed it somehow. We had drifted down near Saw annah, after vainly striving to signal passing vessels. We were weak and helpless and had almost given up hope, when pilot-boat No 5, Captain James Bell, sighted us and took us up.

 Trial Justice Bardwell, of Massachusetts, has distinguished himself by his report on the recent railroad collision at Zoar, by which an engineer and two others were killed. The justice finds that the collision was caused by the forgetfulness of Engineer Corliss of the eastward bound train, who did not stop his train at Zoar as his orders required, and that the conductor of the train was in his opinion blame1ess. Justice Bardwen adds tfthat no lack of confidence in his integrity or ability should attach to so gentlemanly conductor as Mr. Albert T. Kimball'

At 'sYe fancie fayre" the other day one of the first things the Princess of Wales pur- chased was magnificent bouquet, for which she gave couple of sovereigns so. Hav- ing inspected the various stalls, she was on the point of departing, when one of the la dies who had been most indefatigable in dis posing of her wares, and who was evidently personal friend of her Royal Highness, stopped her ''What, are going already ?'' s'Yes," said the Princess. ''Oh, then do give me your bouquet, and wait minute and see what will do with it.'' Her Royal Highness complied with the request at once; where upon the pretty vender-for she was a very beautiful woman-promptly announced to the crowd of male admirers standing around her stall that flowers from the Princess bou- quet were on sale at ten shillings apiece .only limited number to be disposed of.' In less than two minutes thirty gallants had each one in his button-hole, and thirty gold en half-sovereigns had been added to the funds of the charity.
