among the many heroic deeds performed
at the wreck Of the City Of Chester, there
is one which should not 90 unrecorted.
Captain Wallace had on board a finely
Juilt Irish setter dog named Jerry. Amid
the general confusion which reigned
aboard the doomed vessel Jerry didn't
get much attention. He ran upand down
the deck among the frightened people
looking for his friends, and being unable
to find them, remained on board, and ac-
cording to the testimony Of First Mate
McCallun. was the las; living being on
deck lie was drawn under by the sue
ton when the vessel sank. but came up
again and began swimming about among
the people in the water. He came 70 a
woman floating about helpless and almost
gone, and the noble animal caught her
dress in his teeth and began swimming
for the lifeboats. He Was seen by sever
al persons from the deck Of the oceanic
as well as by the first mate, who was
in the water himself, and when Mccall
lum, the mate, was picked up, he directed
the boat to the dog, and 10th woman and
animal we're taken into the boat and
saved. The dog found a friend in Me
Callum and remained with him, and last
night, when the mate went tothemorEue
to announce that he WAS not dead, Jer-
ry was following at his heels as If he
knew what brave part he had played
and wanted to be seen in company OF the
man who launched the first lifeboat.

English Weddings.

A singular instance of how Britons
cling to custom was the universal prac-
tice Of celebrating weddings in the morn
ing. / believe, indeed, that the law de-
clared all marriages illegal not celebrated
in the morning. This was very ancient
law it has long been thought very absurd
and ridiculous, but it was the custom, and
50 every one observed it. But the law
was an abridgment Of personal liberty.

in the afternoon or evening ifthey please
the majority still hold to the morning

different from the rule in America. In
whatever grade OF lie from the highest
to the lowest the wedding occurs, itmeans
Jolly good time for al the relatives and

afternoon is not, aecordiBg 10 estiqustte,
considered as calling for these entertain
ments, and is therefore, much less ex-
pensive 10 those concerned. With the
higher and more wealthy classes the
pecuniary consideration has influence,
and the poorer classes here, as every
where, seem to have a pride in holding
to the display Of tradition and custom,
Irrespective OF the heavy burden which
oftentimes imposes upon them. The
middle classes have more Independence,
and the afternoon weddings, are mostly
confined to their circle.

A gentleman. who went Oh. 70 South
ern California years ago Tor his health,
told me Of remarkable experience aith
this same stealthy animal. With friend
he was out trOut-fshing in Wild canon
among the mountains. The gentleman,
whom We will call 3ir A., had taken his
friend. a stranger % the region, into the
mountains, intending to give him a
chance 20 catch some sPeckled beauties.
and perhaps 70 shoot 4 deer or two. They
had their rifles with them and the friend
was sitting on the bank Of the stream
with his gun across his lap. L should
be said in his behalf however, that he
was not accustomed to use the weapon.
It was early in the morning they mad
just reached the stream, and 1Ir A. sat
ON . little sand-sPit on the further side
O. the brook, ENGAGED IN fastening fy-
hook 10 a line. His rife was leaning
against a tree several feet away. A little
cur dog, called lady" bad accompanied
them, and she was indulging in hunt
on her own account. She soon found the
dogs proyerbial enemy, a cat, but onefor
which poor little Lady would have made
scarcely two mouthfuls. Yelping, she
ran and jumped into Mr. A-'sarns; when

tain lion came bounding out of the woods

70 keep bis eyes on those Of the lion.

most ferocious appearance For mo-
ment it was difficult to say what the
creature would do, although If Mr. A. had
made the slightest movement especially a
motion a. if intending toshrink away. or
had failed fora moment in his stern,
gaze. the lion would undoubtedly have
sprung upon him. It Is wonderful how
the mind acts at such a time, and how
