Wedding Flowers.
vessels.

The most costly floral trimmings of
the season in New York, were those
which ornamented the drawing-roem
where Miss Leslie Josephine Aver was
united in marriage to Commander
Pearson, of the navy. The ceremony
took place under floral temple of ivy
and similAx, covered with pink and
white roses. On the roof were groups
of Ascension lilies and white lilacs.
and from it hung three wedding bells,
the center one composed of white roses
and hanging from rope of lilies of
the-valley, while on either side of it
were smaller ones of pink and white
roses. The lace curtains which drap-
ed the arch leading into the back par
lor were covered with ivy leaves, from
which were suspended dainty roses
hanging their bell-like heads. A panel
IN the back parlor, which reached
from ceiling to floor, was of Baroness
Rothschild roses. Great bouquets of
flowers covered every available table
and banked the manteIs.

How One Vessel Saved a Navy.
New York Tribune

DO you mean to say you have not
heard of the narrow escape from de-
struction of one-half of the Mexican
navy" said Commander Rettig of the
steamship Merida. ''Why, where are
your telegraph and your other facili-
ties for gathering news that you have
to wait for a steamer to bring you
such information? Well, since you
haven't heard of it, [ W II give it to
you and you may have it exclusive
excepting, of course, the Mexican
newspapers. It happened just this
way: On Jan. I'd the entire Mexican
navy was lying at anchor in Frontera
haI Dor, when there came up one of
those terrific 'northers, or what they
call in Buenos Ayres the 'pampero.'
The Libertad, the largest of the Mexi-
can war vessels, was lifted up as by q
tidal wave and swept ashore. and
there she lay until we arrived at From
terra and pulled her off. expect the
Mexican Congress will vote me an or
der and other honors for my distin-
gulshed services in saving their navy.
Any other naval vessels go ashore.
Why, bless you, no. said half of
the Mexican navy was almost totally
destroyed, and they only have two
vessels"

twelve hours, and all dangerous weap-
ons be thrown overheard. This was
done, and we each felt safer. It was
now eighty days we had been ahoat
on the bosom of the vast Pacific, and
there was just two arms and a hand
Of the Kanaka's body. oh" said
Gurley. with some excitement, show
we cherished and enjoyed those last
morsels, with maniacal greed, we
looked at each others share"
Although this narrative was related
to Mr.. Croft year afterward, Gurley
said with strange CLEAN in his eye
that he never saw pretty babe IN
its mothers arms, but he invariably
thought what a splendid meal the in
nocent babe would make" But to con-
tinue: On the ninetieth day of their
frightful sufferings, they sighted a
vessel, which turned out TO be her
majesty's gunboat "Ruby," who see
ing the signal of distress, bore down
on them and soon had boat sent to
the rescue. The purser of the Ruby"
said the men were in a frightfuI con
dition, wasted and emaciated, while
|O,Leary had become insane. The suf-
ferers We're taken on the gunboat, and
the little vessel which had carried
them so many miles, was attached by
a rope to the Ruby" Under the ship
surgeons care, Gurley gradually re-
covered, but O'Learys constitution
had received too severe a shock, and
three days after the rescue he was con-
signed to watery grave. He was de-
liriOus until the end, continually call
ing on Gurley, ''to save his life, and
not murder him" A strange thing
happened the day after the sailors had
been picked up. Their small boat, at
tached to the Ruby" which had car
ried the 'castaways" for ninety days,
went down in a squal which struck
it.
AS before stated they started in lati-
tude II deg. south of the equator, and
they were found by the gunboat 25O
miles south of California, about lat
itude 80 north of the equator, so the
distance they travelled was many
thousand miles. Gurley gradually
recovered and the 'Ruby" landed him
at Victoria, Vancouver's island where
he was placed in the hospital. The
doctors, however, thought the climate
too cold, and he was sent to Riaterra,
one of the Society group of islands in
the Southern Pacific. Mr.. Croft, who
was on a voyage of pleasure, on board
the bark Fire Fly" 500 tons burden,
commanded by Capt. Chapman,
touched at Riaterra, where the captain
loaded up with a cargo of fruit, one
year later than when the above facts
took place. Gurley came to the cap
tain, who turned out to be an old
friend of his youth from Vermont, and
begged Chapman to take him to San
Francisco, "as he (Garley) felt certain
that unless under proper medieal
treatment he would soon be dead.
The request was granted, and it was
on the homeward voyage that Nh.
Croft learned the story have told
you. Broken down in constitution, a
prey to horrible desires and thoughts,
Gurley was placed ia the marine hos
pital at San Francisco on the arrival
of the vessel. and whether the man
who was forced to turn murderer and
cannibal is still alive do not know.

"Great Jumping Joseph, will they

''I hadn't heard of your fathers
failure" exclaimed Mr.. Slim in great
surprise and not a little dismay.
"When did it occur?"
"Only yesterday" she replied. "AlI

we are very poor indeed. 7 do not

Phillips and Summer.
Wendell Phillips once said to
friend Of mine, says a Washington
correspondent, that it was strange that
Charles Sumner should have had his
career, while he should have had
Summers. When they were young
men each planned life which the
other afterward lived It was Phil
lips purpose to be q politician, to be
active in politics, rising from point to
point, until he should command the
applause Of listening senates. He
knew his splendid powers and how
admirably they fitted him for distinc-
ton in politics, and his ambition
pointed him to the highest honors.
Sumner, on the other hand, planned
a quiet life devoted to literature. He
would read, he would write, he would
lecture, far from the ignoble strife of
the politicians Nov" said Phil
lips, 'it was not long before I would
have been defeated for any office [
wanted, no matter how humble; so

She Swallowed Bat Poison.

Miss Annie Jacobs. twenty-five years
old, charming young lady of unexcep.
tional character, who resided with her
mother in South bingham, Mass, COM
mitted suicide Saturday evening at her
home by taking a dose of "Rough on
Rats" She had been keeping company
with Everett Hatch, bookkeeperin large
mandatory at Rockland, whose &C.
quaintance she formed at party in
bingham about two years ago. They
finally became engaged. The young
man has of late been waiting upon a
Rockland lady. This fact has apparent.
ly worked upon Miss Jacobs mind until,
unable to bear the suspense longer, she
on Saturday procured team and visited
Rockland.
She called at the factory and remained
several hours with her prospective hus,,
band. During the conversation he told
her that be had felt for long time that
they could not live happily together, and
that in the future he could be no more
than friend to her. She gave vent to
her feelings in tears, but gave no intima-
tion of taking her life. Upon her return
home that evening she appeared to be
laboring under great mental excitement,
but nothing was thought of it at the
time. She retired to her room and short
ly afterwards her mother was attracted
by means proceeding from her daughters
room. When Mrs. Jacobs entered the
room Annie was writhing i'll the agonies
of death. Although physician made
every effort to save her she died in terri
bic agony.

across the channel to Newhaven, and on
to London, and thence to Liverpool /;
where we again took the good ship City

In closing this series of letters we feel
like thanking those friends who have fol-
lowed US 30 patiently week after week in
all our wanderings. We have felt pain
fully at times; the disadvantage under
which we labored in attempting to give
in correspondence, written amid the hustle
and changing scenes of travel, any salts

but if the broken, disjointed and fragmen-
tary descriptions we have been able to
present, shall be'the means of arousing
in the hearts of those who have read them
better appreciation of this beautiful
world in which we are permitted to live,
and of stimulating in the minds of the
young desire to know more by study
and travel of it's wondrous history and
present condition, then these letters have
not been written in vain.
