When those on board the vessel had al
succeeded in reaching the land in safety
they found themselves upon the island OF
Melita, among what they supposed was a
barbarous people They were drenched
with rain, and suffering from cold, yet
amid all this discouragement the protect
ing and comforting care of the Divine
Father was manifested to them in rath-
er mysterious way. The strange people
exhibited degree of kindness in kindling
fire for the ships passengers, and max
ing them as comfortable as possible.
Here an incident occurred which show
ed what constant dangers surrounded the
life of Paul, affording him abundant op-
portunity for illustrating his preaching
by constant exhibitions of the care and
love of the Father. When laying bundle
of sticks upon the fire, venomous SER
pent, drawn out by the warmth of the
fire. and warmed into deadly activity,
stung the Apostle upon the hand-a bite
which would have been necessarily fatal
under ordinary circumstances. The peo-
pie of the island saw the serpent clinging
to the mans hand, they supposed it the
result of vengeance pursuing him, because
of some crime or crimes.
Paul soon wrought wonderful change
in their opinion in this regard. Instead
of being subjected to the dart of vengeance,
he proved to them that he was proof
against it by shaking the serpent into the
fire. The people knew not the real cause
of Paufs safety, and after watching for
the usual results of the bite, and seeing
them not, they concluded that he possess
ed supernatural power within himself
that he was god.
The events occurred near the habitation
of the chief man of the island-Publius.
This chief continued to them the kindness
shown upon their arrival and entertained
them for three days, when an occasion
was presented for the Apostle again to
show his miraculous power. The chiefs
Apostle went into his pres ence, and pray
ed, and layed his hands upon him, and he
was healed. Many others were healed by
the Apostle during his short stay upon
the island-three months. The words
"Castor Pollux." referred to, signifies the
name of the ship in which they departed
from the island. After tarrying three
days at Syracuse, one day at Rhegium,
and seven days at Puteoli, they went
on toward Rome, and were met by breth-
rem. When the Apostle saw these he
thanked God and took courage. This
cannot be construed as meaning that
the Apostle was despairing or Respondent.
for he felt the presence of the Father ev-
er with him, but perhaps refers to a nat
ural WEAKNESS resulting from his trying
experiences, his imprisonment, and IA
tiguing and dangerous journey.

MONMOUTH.

1t is not often that we are called upon to
chronicle an event where so great a disaster
was apprehended and so little harm really
done. A few days ago three young men of
this place. A. Getchell, J. Rowe and f. Dud-
lev. went out on Cochnewagan pond in a row
boat in quest of black bass. 1t seems that
Mr. Getchell had just bought a new pair of
boots-perfect daisies as he thought, and
his principal business while in the boat
seemed to be to keep his boots from being
wet while the principal occupation of Rowe
and Dudley was to bring about the very dis
aster Amaziah was so strenuously trying to
avoid. By series of bookings the boat was
filled with water and sunk in some or feet
of water while our,hero, intent on preserving
his boots, sat in the boat with the water
up to his arm-pits and his feet elevated
above the surface of the water. The
terrible disaste was averted and he
was gently towed ashore. Amaziah

destruction by the flames. The damage is
sSumated at from $75 to 500.

GENERAL GRANr AT MT. DESERT.

der on an excursion up the New England
coast A yacht took the party for sail to
Mt Desert, but q dense fog settled on the
water, and the little craft CROPPED its way
through the darkness. After some hit-and
miss drifting the party were hailed from the
shores of one of the lesser islands that abound
in that desert region, and cordially invited TO
tie up for the night. There was rejoicing on
the rocks when the natives discovered that
fortune had sent them the great hero of the
war as guest Simple minded fishermen
we're these people VITO lived on the little
island, but in no circle in all the world was a
heartier welcome ever given to the famous
man; and If action goes for anything. no re-
ception With parade and loud reclamation ever
gave the great leader more pleasure. The
best house on the island was put at his dispo-
sal; there was nothing thst the openhearted
fishermen were not willing to do glad
ly TO insure his comfort. Their rude cour-
tesy fascinated Gen. Grant. He made on eff
fort to conceal mis- pleasure at their kindli-
ness. The mood of thoughtfulness, selfa
straction, taciturnity-the characteristic trait
by various men called different names-was
all gone. Gravity had yielded to geniality
and rare good nature softened his manner
When supper had been eaten, the party gath
cred round fireplace in the kitchen of the
house Grant talked of the war, of Vicks-
burg, OF Chattanooga, of what the Union had
suffered, and what it was destined TO achieve.
1t was a clear-cut storyethat he told, a lucid
statement of events, and he told il well and
feelingly. Some of his auditors had never
head him talk before, and had the impression.
that prevailed so extensively, that his taci-
turnity was habitual, possessing some of the
characteristic of stolidity. They sat and
listened with rspt attention. 1t was two
o'clock in the morning before any of them
got to bed.

says:
1t is learned at the White House that there
will be few more New Engl'nd appoint
ments made until the Presidents return from
bis summer vacation in September. 1t is
stated that none of the Boston offices are
likely to be reached in the week before his
departure. The Augusta post office, Colonel
Lamont says, will also presumably go over
until autumn, as the matter is as far from
settlement ever. This official statement
confirms the theory that the President is un-
decided as to the course to pursue, and is
willing to wait for Morton. the Augusta
Democrats or somebody to relieve him of his
embarrassment. He is not relieved by such
indignant kilograms as came from Augusta
