Senor Don David II. SaIos.

A beautiful silver urn is being inscribed at
the state department for presentation to
Senior Don David II. Salos of Cumana, Ven-
ezuela for succoring the shipwrecked crew
of the schooner Cohannit. The Cohannit
was Massachusetts vessel, owned in New
Bedford and haiing from Fairhaven, and
was wrecked off Punta Arenas, near Gu
mana, March %, 1877. Senior Salos sent
boats off to the schooner rescued the crew
of fifteen officers and men and cared for
them until they could be placed in the care
of an American consul He in
CURED in this benevolent work an ex-
pense of over $l4OO, but he refused any re-
endorsement from our government except
letter of thanks which was sent him June 4,
1877, signed by the secretary of state, and
has been highly prized by Senior Salos.
With advancing years. however, land in view
of the effect of the air and climate on the
paper and ink, he has begun to feel that he
would like some more permanent
memorial Of the gratitude of the
great republic to transmit to his children.
His wish is becoming known to the state de-
partment, handsome urn of silver lined
with gold has been prepared, inscribed with
these words: "From the President of the
United States of America to David H. Salos,
for his humane and generous services in
rescuing and subsisting the entire crew of the
American schooner Cohannit, wrecked near
Cumana, Venezuela, in 1S77.n

A Tale of Sea HerOism.

"Captain George w. Pendleton,
American fishing schooner Cleopatra, oi
Gloucester, Mass.
"Captain Edmund Miller Hughes,
American Line steamer Lord Cough.
Date of rescue, December %, 1885,"
The Lord Cough, though of the Amer
lean Line of steamers liverpool to Phila-
delphia), is British vessel; her captain
is, l think, a Scotchman. The Lord
Cough, on her way to Philadelphia, saw
the flag of distress on the mast of the
Cleopatra. The wind was blowing a
gale, making it matter of serious risk
for the LORD Cough to send boat to the
rescue. But Captain Hughes thought it
his duty to do this, and he called for
volunteers. The second officer q think
and crew volunteered, and boat was
lowered. Suddenly, however, the signal
of distress was lowered from the mast of
the Cleopatra Captain Hughes was
much perplexed; it seemed almost GER
tain that the vessel was in extremity.
On the whole he thought it his duty to
send the boat. The brave fellows made
their way over the perilous waters and
the schooner was reached. There they
found the master and eleven men, but
for the Lord Cough, utterly without
hope. Three others of the crew had
been washed away, and the body of
fourth lay on the deck In two trips
the survivors were conveyed to the Lord
Cough. The master of the schooner
went in the second trip of the boat, but
before he did so he read, with such
solemnity as he could in the awful
storm, the burial service over the remains
of his comrade, and the body was com
mltted to the deep. OF course the first
inquiry made by Captain Hughes of the
American Captain was: Why did he
haul down his signal3 The reply was
"Sir, we saw that you were preparing to
make an effort to save US, but we saw,
also, that it was a sea in which it was
very doubtful whether boat would
live. l said, then, to my men: Shall
we let those brave fellows risk their
lives to save oursH and they said: mop
Then hauled down the flag. - C0rnhW

An interesting discussion of bird music
is furnished by correspondent of SCI
ence. incidentally pointing out that the
catbird is our Northern mocking bird,
capable of initiating any noise it may
hear, the writer takes up what he says is
complete evolution in the song or notes
of our ordinary robin. Ordinarily, he
is clumsy singer, having a rough,
seesaw note, that he repeats with little
variation" He has precedence of the
other birds in the morning song with
which daylight is greeted in June, and
his song, though not musical, is well
adapted to constitute a matin cry. In
June of lat year, however, the writer
says, he heard cry $50 particularly like
articulation that was startled Hear
this birdie! Hear this birdiel Hear
this pretty birdiep the last notes being
exouisitely rendered, with a wave and up
ward bendn On careful examination,
he found the singer to be veritable
robin redbreast. This year the bird re-
turned, and, "better yet, it was apparent
that the babes of this family were
singing, not the old robins seesaw, but
the new song" These robins, too, sang
all day long. Later in the year the writer
heard robin singing set of notes
"most charmingIy unlike anything l had
ever heard"
From these facts, and from various
published reports of the initiative pow
ers of the robin, the writer believes that
we shall soon see a remarkable evolution
of robin music. Any such evolution can
not but compel us to give a warmer well
come than ever to the bird which though
a traditional favorite in England, has
hitherto been accepted by us less for his
beauty of plumage and of song than for
his amusing and charming impudence
and laziness.

BUFFETED BY BELLOWS.
Steamer New Brunswick in the Late
Gale.

Steamer New Brunswick in the Late
Gale.
The steamer New Brunswick, of the Inter-
national Steamship line, Captain Colby,
left Digby, N. S., Tuesday. The weather
was fair and clear and the 2O6 passengers
aboard expected quick and safe voyage.
Tuesday night the great storm broke upon
them, and at o'clock Wednesday morning,
when the steamer was some 90 or so miles off
Portland, she was ''hove to-" by the cap
tain's order. At 10 o'clock that forenoon the
storm was at its highest, and the passengers
became considerably frightened. Sew
eral went so far as to open their
staterooms and put on their life
buoys. This action on the part of
few alarmed the others, and what closely
resembled an incipient panic seemed about
to break out 1t was at this point that the
courage of the captain and other officers
was called into service, and through their
exertions the fears of the passengers were
quelled in measure. and conf ience re-
established. Capt. Colby and Pilot Potter
remained in the pilot house constantly, and
Chief Engineer Moran remained in the en-
gine room for nearly nine hours. The crew
finally got the vessel around so that she
could ride the gale, and the damage done the
steamer looked into 1t was found that the
Oulwarks opposite the pursers office
had been carried away, but no alarming
amount of water was shipped the cook
house had been broken into and the stoves
smashed. From these arose considerable
steam, and this caused passengers to be-
come frightened. 1t was feared that the en-
gines had given ont, but such was not the
case. Captain ColLy said, after the gale had
subsided, that, had the engines failed to do
their work during Wednesday, the ship and
all on board would have gone down
No boat could have lived in such gale, and
not a person would have remained of the $50
on board The New Brunswick is an old
steamer, having been in the service of the
international line constantly for 90 years
After the storm had abated, the steward and
other officers did all possible to make the
people aboard comfortable. All arrived
safely

FAST MAIL EAST.
New Train Between Chicago, New

Postmaster Dickinson has COM
pleted arrangements by which new fast
mail train will be established between Chi
cago and New York. This train will be
known us the "New York and Chicago fast
mail east" scheduled as follows: Leave
Chicago at S. a. m., arrive at Buffalo at
II. As p. m, Albany about Z a. m., Boston
about 3 p m. reaching New York at II so D.
M, being q hours from Chicago to New
York. This is one of the most impo tant inn
provements it is claimed, that has yet been
made in the east-bound mail facilities be-
tween the great northwest, the Pacific coast
and the east in the history of the service. At
Chicago direct connection will be made with
the eastbound fast mail trains from San
Francisco via Omaha, and Portland, Ore,
via st. Paul, thus constituting fast mail
service from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic
seaboard, resulting in the saving of
one business day for correspondence
from the Pacific coast states for
all points. in the east. By the present
schedule the arrival at Boston is too late for
the mail to be available until the next dav.
either for local delivery or connections for
the extreme east The new train, reaching
Boston about p. m., will admit of local de,

Whether you shall offer to kiss the infar

Our Torpedo Plans Safe. =

An evening naper yesterday published an
alleged dispatch from Chicago to the effect
that there was CONSERVATION at the War
Office. It stated that representative of
England has been discovered who had
found out the secret of our torpedo system.
In the garb of an American he had been
hobnobbing with our naval officers, and,
finding that the torpedoes had been pat.
ented by their inventors, bad succeeded in
obtaining copies of all the drawings. These
he had sent to the English Government,
and in consequence the British lion ives
now in 8 position to roar and growl all be
pleased. Uncle Sam could DO nothing, as
his great torpedo system, on which is re-
lied as a means to defend his coast, was a
secret no longer.
There were number of people, however,
who believed the dispatch to be canard.
Among these was Admiral Gherardi, who
is in command of the Navy Yark.
Il do not believe there is the least grain
of truth in the story" he said to the Star
reporter. s.In fact, such thing could not
happen. The Invention was sold to the
Government and no other could have it.
1t would be impossible for any one to OBJ
tain copies of the plans. The whole thing
is nothing more than would-be scare -

Crushing a Trades Union.

says: Telegraph operators along the line
of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
Railroad are in a state of anxiety over the
recent order from the company to sever
their connection with the Order of Rail
way Telegraphers or vacate their positions.
It is reported that the company has been
making preparations to accomplish this for
the past two months, and has secured men
to fill every vacancy likely to occur under
the order. A member of the Brotherhood
of Telegraphers said that if it was true
that such an order was issued, the Order
of Railway Telegraphers would have to
back down, for it was not strong, and its
constitution prevented any strike. The
men would quit the union or leave the rail
way service.

JUDGE TERRY DRAWS A KNIFE.

Mrs. Terry was also taken from the room
and locked in the Marshals Office. A Dep
uty was placed at the door, when Terry
advanced upon him and demanded admis
sion, which the Deputy refused. Terry
drew from his pocket dangerous looking
dirk, with blade eight inches long, and
with curse held it above his head declar.
ing that he would stab any man who tried
to keep lin away. Several persons al
once Jumped upon him and tried to take
the knife away. A desperate struggle fol
lowed. All the men fell to the floor, and
the knife was finally taken from Terry
without any one being injured.
Terry was then locked in the room with
his wife. A satchel which Mrs. Terry had
dropped in the court room during the ex-
citement was found to contain an English
bulldog revolver with all chambers loaded
Marshal Franks states that she was trying
to open the satchel just before she was put
out of the court room, The Marshal en-
tered the room where the two were con-
fined, and Mrs. Terry at once made vio-
lent attack upon him about the face and
head. She was soon quieted, and strong
guard placed in the room.

progressed her agitation increased. Finally,
when Judge Field was about half through
reading. Mrs Terry jumped to her feet and
asked the Judge if he was going to order
her to give up her marriage contract. The
Judge told her to sit down, and Mrs.
Terrys face turned white with passion,
and she cried:

been bought. We would like to know if
that is so aud what figures you hold your.
self at. It seems that person can't gel

and said: Marshal, remove that woman
from this court room"

Terry. She took no notice of him, but
broke ont with oaths and vulgar language.

instant Judge Terry arose, and exclaimins
