Missing ship.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 13.-It appears
that when the tug Pioneer coaled up at
Astoria, and started out TO find the ship
Nebo, for the purpose of towing her to
San Francisco, the vessel could not be
found. The Pioneer steamed on down
the coast, keeping q sharp lookout for
the disabled ship, but failed to get sight
of her. The tug came ON here, and.
taking on a supply of coal, started out
again yesterday to look for the Nebo.
Since that time nothing has been seen
or heard either of ship or tug.

A Man without Fear.

bravery" an old British officer Of
marines said lately, when talking over
the newspaper reports of the daring Of
some of our soldiers in Egypt "yery
often bravery only means Satan getting
into you, for the time. You lose your
hcad-and your fears. Now, the
bravest man I ever knew was a con-
victed thief. He had smuggled him
self into the marines somehow, without
letting il be known that he was a
tIcket-of-leave man. Ny lieutenant
had once to take my men on shore 10
garrison temporarily a small fort near
Girgenti, near Sicily; among them was
the eX-thicf. Hardly were our men
landed and in command Of the guns
than two of the cnemy's ships hove in
sight, and soon they were launching
landing party under cover Of the ships
guns, We were but a handful and no
match for the boatfuls attacking us.
Our fire was kept up steadily, but so
was the fire from the ships. The men
in the forts were dropping fast. The
thief had leg smashed. At last-I
am forced 10 confess 1.-THE two or
three marines who still had whole
skins took 10 their heels into the scrub
wood behind. Poor chaps, there was
some excuse. Certain death was
crawling up the hill upon them in that
landing party, which neared the ram
part with rounds Of cheers. Shame r
cried the thief after his running COM
radcs and up he got, loaded a gun,
and fred it right in the onemy's face
just two seconds before a sword thrust
put him forever out Of pain from his
broken leg. The man had always been
a sneaking fellow on board, and we
were surprised enough at the heroism
Of his end. When his loss was reported
home, it came ont through some
relative that hc was a convict. Poor
wretch he made a plucky ending. a.

Letter Mriilnr.

Some one who has been looking into
he subject declares that promp atten-
tion TO friendly correspondence requires
considerable nobility Of feeling. II is
undoubtedly the case that friendship
which cannot be doubted often seems
20 fail when letters should he written.
In importance the friendly letter
scarcely equals the fashionable call. If
it rains the visit is simply postponed.
But If the mental horizon is only
cloudy-and it generally is when letter
writing begins-the letter is also post
poned. But generally for a much
longer period and with scarcely
thought Of the breach Of good manners.
But after all, the main root Of our neg
ligence is at the bottom Of the heart.
Love letters are always written quickly
and well. WhyY Love is a passion
finding natural outlet in eloquence.
Friendship is sentiment lying still in
the deep recess Of our heart easily ig-
nored among the more vital claims for
our interest. The passion Of love needs
restraint because It is the all-absorb-
ing. consequently harmful, element Of
our nature. The sentiment Of friend
ship needs cultivation because 1t is one
Of the spiritual elements which act as
4 restraint upon the former In direct
ing love from one to more. Now. we
all know ourselves prone TO indulge
in what needs restraint, and neglect
what needs cultivation. The writing
a love-letter is only indulging the pas.
sion which needs restraint. and the
neglect to write a friendly letter is neg.
lecting the sentiments which need cul.
tivatlon. We see now why Il il easIer
to write love, business. or any other
letter which concerns our immediate
feelings or interest, but nobler 10 write
a friendly letter which has nothing in
itself TO crafty. It il only with the
noblest attributes OF the soul that NE
can carry on friendly correspondence
with credit and pleasure.

THE SILENT PARTNER.

"You have sad and strange ex-
preston to-day, Edgar, which troubles
me-" said Clara Benton, addressing her
afianced lover. "In fact, you have
not seemed like yourself, since the
death of your father, four months
ago"
The young mans only answer was a
siglf, the meaning of which, however,
his fair companion understood, al
though the subject had never been
referred TO between them. They had
seen engaged about year, and their
wedding day, although not definitely
decided upon, was looked upon as not
far distant. In the meantime, how
ever, Mr. Alison, Edgar's father, had
become seriously embarrassed in his
business affairs and matters had
grown continually worse, until the
climax was reached, rendered still
more severe, as well as unavoidable, by
the general prevalence. at the time. OF
business failures. While still working
with every nerve of brain and body.
in one of those desperate struggles
which so often end in either success or
death, fever, induced by the intense
excitement, had terminated his life
leaving his affairs in almost hopeless
confusion, while his wife's health was
so shattered by the terrible shock that
she was reduced to the condition of a
confirmed invalid.
Edgar, who had graduated a year
before, and was then at law school,
dropped his books and came home at
once, toMsee what he could do in the
way OF saving something from the
wreck Of his fathers estate.
Clara Benton, his afTianced, was an
orphan, and possessed of a fortune
amounting TO about seventy thousand
dollars, which was under the charge of
prudent and careful lawyer, her
guardian, while she was not to be per
mitted 10 have control of Il until she
would be twenty-three years of age.
"Well, Clara" said Edgar, breaking
painful silence, Eat our engagement
supposed my fortune would be about
equal to yours. Now, scarcely dare
to feel certain of being able to saw,
anything. The only part of my father.
once large fortune which is in any
measure available is his factory, still
at work, earning little money. i
may possibly be saved from the wreck
but It will doubtless require som,
years to bring out that result. Their,
are many large claims against tn,
estate and, working as must single
handed and alone, the outlook seem
almost desperate"
do not let these troubles make yol
despondent, Edgar" said Clara, affeC
tionately. "At the time Of our engage
ment we were expecting to be Marie
