A SAILORS LONG SWIM.-Frank Miller
who has Just reached San Francisco, on the
brig William G. Irwin from the Sandwich
Islands, has proven TINT he possesses an am
phibian capacity quite equal to that of the
swimmer of the Hellespont. Miller's ex-
plot was out in the Pacific Ocean and there
fore cannot be measured as TO distance, but
its time was II hours.
Three or four months ago he left San Fran
cisco on the whaling chip Jacob A Rowland
which during its cruising caught two whales
near the Sandwich Islands For a day or
two after the killing the vessel was surroun-
ed by sharks eager for the refuse. The VI
cious creatures swarmed in the wake of the
vessel and crowded around her, popping
their greedy heads up above the waves in
plain sight of the sailors. The deck was
slippery after the killing, and one night
while Miller was On the port rail forward he
missed his footing and pitched headlong it,
to the sea. After slipping and falling he
looked for the vessel. but could neither see
nor hear anything of her. He knew they
were not many miles from the shore of
the island of Mookai, and guiding him
self as best he could by the stars he struck
out in the direction which he thought
would carry him to its shore. But he was
swimming against the tide, and he could
feel that he was making but little prog
ress, exert himself as he might. He thought of
the sharks which only few hours before had
been clustering around the vessel, and every five
minutes he imagined that one Was smashing up
against him, while every bright CLEAN of star
light upon little wave he was sure was the cold
ly glittering eye of hungry shark intent on
making lunch off him. Morning dawned and
he wss still upeaten, though so weak from his
battle with the waves and his continued fright
that he had not the strength to climb upon a
couple..of panks nailed together that came drift
ing past him, but he caught hold OF them, and
managed to sustain himself still longer by their
aid. terrible thirst took possession of him, and
as the sun rose higher and higher it almost bis
tered his face and hands. Finally about the mid
die of the afternoon, the brig Irwin came along,
saw him and picked him up. His strength was
so entirely gone that he had to be lifted over the
side of the boat sent after him as if he had been
baby.

weak political allies in the North, by conce-

Preached his Own Funeral Sermon

Preached his Own Funeral Sermon.
Three thousand persons met last Sunday at
the church twenty miles from Athens. Ga,
in which the Rev. Nathaniel Pridgeon acts
as pastor. Three months ago Mr. Pridgeon,
who is 81 years old, announced his purpose OF
preaching his own funeral sermon on Sunday.
This eccentric announcement was followed
by an order for special coffin made OF
Georgia pine, not painted. and made secure
by chain and paddock. The cot1in was ia.
Ken out to the little church Saturday, fol-
lowed by curious crowd, who sat around
it all night after the manner of an Irish
wake. DIR. Prdgeon was up by daylight
and examined the coffin critically, testing it
by placing himself in it. The reporter took
occasion to find out from him the reason OF
his strange freak.
Young man." said he eighty four years
sermons preached over people that were not
true. 1 have heard bad men praised and
good men half praised. l have preached

faults and my own good points. have de-

carnal Prldgeon and will extoll the spirit.
ual PridgeOn. When at last my eyes are
closed in death want my body to BIO put
away quickly under the blessing which
/ will pronounce over myself to day"
At high noon the old man assembled his
pulpit. Ga one sde were the members Of
his family in mourning. just in front of him
was his open cOf1i 10 and around him were the
5000 auditors. DR.. Lowry opened the
meeting with singing, and Doctor
Pridgeon made prayer, which he
followed by announcing his text from
Corinthians, ninth verse, second chap
ter, and as parallel text he read Ephe
SLAMS, 8th and 9th verses, 81 chapter. He
denounced the custom Of holding inperal
observances, but since custom had forced
them he proposed 10 attend to his own
funeral himself.
The sermon was curious medley Of fool
ish sayings and good sense, many observa
lions causing laughter. Hymns were sung
frequently, and altogether the affair was as
ludicrous as it was novel Before he got
through with his discourse many began to
leave the church, but the country people
around listened to the end. DR.. Pidgeon,
after the sermon was over gave sketch OF
his life. He was born in North Carolina,
bnt has been living in Georgia seventy years.
He has preached in eleven States, to all of
which the Lord called him, except Alabama.
and he stoutly declares that only the devil
could draw man to that State. He be-
longs to the Campbelite Church, has been
twice married, and declares that DO man
ought 70 live single for single moment
when so many good woman are anxious TO
get husbands.

A BILL was introduced in the U. 5. Sen
ate Yesterday to revive the suspended oper.
alton of the direct land tax law OF 1861,
which imposed tax of twenty million,
and provide for the collection of the remain
der OF that sum with . per cent. interest
thereon the States to have the privilege of
assuming their quotas, less Is per cent. re-
duction otherwise, the tax to be collected
from the land OF individuals, as provided IN
the original act The execution OF such
law upon the impoverished land owners of
Virginia would be a cruel burden, aud the
idea of it could only have been conceived
by one who nurses his hate for all parts Of
the South, as Senator Chandler does. But,
for all that, few can deny that it was sug-
pested to the South Halter referred to by the
action of the democratic opponents of the
direct land tax bill, nor that there is stern
iustica in it. Ia free and equal country
there is no good reason why the people of
Virginia should have been compelled opay
tax of yaich those of any other State were
exempt, or why that tax should have been
ezacted in Alexandra, and not in all the
other cities of the State.

THE VIcToRIAs.-There are three Vic
toras of three successive generations thus
named troubling Europe just now. There
is Victoria, Queen of England and Empress
ofIndia, who is about to enter on the seven
tieth year of her age. There is her daughter
Victoria, the Empress of Germany, who is
forty eight years old. There Is this last.
named Victoria's youthful daughter, Princess
Victoria, whose mother is an Empress, and
whose two grandmothers are an Empress
aud an ex-Empress. These three Victorias
have made up their minds that the Princess
Victoria shall wed the Prince Of Battenberg.
They are determined to break down every
barrier that can be raised against the match.
The Gar Of Russia may dislike 1t. the
mighty Bismarck disapprove of it, and the
powerful classes of Germany stand out
against it; but the three Vc.orias are not to
be outwitted or controlled in the matter.
Their purpose is fixed, and each of them is
possessed of a strong will in pursuit of it.
Questions of State policy may be thrust
aside in the court of love, and the peace of
nations may be imperiled for the sake of a
happy match. 1t was evident from the first
that the three Victoras would carry the
day. The Prince of Battenberg has won the
support of the eldest of them and her dauph
ter, both Empresses, and he has won The
heart OF the youngest of them. Such COM
thus in harmony bound, what or
who can resist Pm. Y. San.

A STATEMENT has been sent out from
Washington to the effect that the President
is we'll aware that the Senate would refuse
to confirm any ex-Confedsrate he might APP
point to FIJI the existing vacancy in the U.
S. Supreme Court. This statement must be
incorrect; for how could the President be
well aware Gasssany such action of the Senate
unless test been made. There are
now eight memSSss of the court, of whom
only one is from NE South. The admins
tration processes toss national, and not sec
tional. Why the highest court in the land
should remain so decide dly sectional, when
it is within the power of national admins.
trstion to try to make it less so, is hard to
tell, and it is as little as Mr.. Cleveland can
do to show to the country that such ID his
desire By nominating q Southern man for
the position. BY so doing ne would act well
his part, and if the republican Senators
should refuse to confirm the nomination. the
blame would be theirs. not his.
