A Grateful and Heroic Negro.

Eufaula (Ala) Times.
The circumstances of the most heroic
and romantic deed connected with the
late Everingham disaster was related to
Us yesterday. After the boat had been
banked and roster of the crew was
called, Assistant Pilot Wngate did not
answer.
Where is Wingate," some one
shouted.
ASLEEP, in his berth, y was the answer,
and by this time the supports or the up
per deck We're being eaten rapidly away,
and the flames circled round and round
over the hurricane deck, licking the
glass of the state room doors, to disap-
pear now and anon through the black
curls of dense and sitting smoke, then
again to streak the black sky like the
livid pulse of destruction that it was, and
then to soar away and vanish into the
oblivion of heat to scar the invisible
atoms of the air 1t was in the midst of
1 this panorama of horror that a black form
was seen rushing toward Wingate's berth
and impending death. A surge, a crash,
and the door gaveway, and Wingate and
his rescuer, through ways left free by
Providence, escaped in safety to the
shore. This negro, ON hearing that Pilot
Wingage was in his stateroom, banished
/ all fear of his own safety to rescue him.
/ which was done in return for the saving
of his own life by Wingate when the
+ Wylly went to pieces against the Fort
Gaines bridge last April, He was going
under for the third time when Wingate
snatched him from his grave. This was
gratitude. and a heToism equaled by nc
instance in the calamitous records OF
many and many day, and deserves {
monument in marble.

The Telephone Fifty Years Ago

From the Springfield Union.
4 little more than fifty years ago the
employees Of the Arms shoe mandatory
at South Deertield begpnled their leisure
hours by kite flying. Kites, large and
small We're sent up daily, and the strife
was to see who would get the largest.
The twine which held them was the shoe
thread spun and twisted by the ladies of
the village. One day to the tail of the
largest kite was attached kitten, sewed
IN canvass bag with a netting over the
mouth to give it air. When the kite was

CHAPTER xxx.

If you deny me, fie upon your law!

Shakespeare.
The silence continued unbroken by
human sounds for many anxious
minutes. Then the waving multi
tude opened and shut again, and I'm
cas- stood in the living circle. Here
he stood unnoted, though keenly OBJ
servant himself until one of the
chiefs apprised the latter of his pre-
sence.
"With what tongue does the pris-
oner speak to the Manitto:" demand
the patriarch, without unclosing his
eyes.
Like his fathers" Uncas replied !;
"with the tongue Of q Delaware"
At this sudden and unexpected
annunciaton, a low, fierce yell ran
through the multitude, that might
not inaptly be compared to the growl
of the lion, as his future anger.
"a Delaware! | have lived to
see the tribes of the Lenape driven
from their council fires, and scattered,
like broken herds of deer, among the
hills of the Iroquois! but never be-
fore have | found a Delaware so base
as to creep, like poisonous serpent
into the camp of his nation.'
"The singing-birds have opened
their bills" returned Uncas, in tie
softest notes of his own musical voice
sand Tamenund has heard theil
song"
The sage started, and bent his head
aside, as if to catch the feeting
sounds ofsome passing melody.
'Does Tamenund dreamw he ex-
claimed. "What voice is at his ear
Have the winters gone backward
Will summer come again to the
children of the Lenape:"
A solemn and respectful silence
succeeded this incoherent burst from
the lips of the Delaware prophet
After a pause. however, one of the
aged men ventured to remind him
again of the presence of the pris'
oner.

he should hear the words of Tame.

Twenty knives cleaned in the air.
and as many warriors sprang to their
feet at this biting, and perhaps
merited, retort; but motion
from one of the chiefs suppressed the
outbreaking of their tempers. The
task might probably made by Tam,

about to speak.

A Defense That Does Not Defend.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The long statement of President Rid
die, of the Penn bank, of Pittsburg,
when rendered into plain English, is to
the effect that the bank, having lost in
the neighborhood of 100000 by lending
money on oil certificates, went into a
gigantic speculation in oil certificates
with all the remaining resources of the
result of losing everything. In other
words, it threw good money after bad
until there was not another dollar left
to throw. Like loyal son of Adam, he
divides the blame between his own i'll
health and the other directors and Off
GERS of the bank, who, he claims, were
cognizant of and consenting to the whole
transaction.
